What should people in their 20s and 30s be doing to protect their brains?
The chronic use of allergy drugs have been strongly associated in cohort studies with increased risk for dementia. There's actually an inverse correlation between the size of your waist and total brain volume. So as your waist expands, it seems that your brain shrinks. For every 10% increase in ultra-processed foods consumed, we see a 25% increased risk of the diagnosis of dementia. chronic exposure to air pollution is a modifiable risk factor. Mouthwash might have downstream consequences on the brain when used chronically, and specific kinds of mouthwash, like antiseptic mouthwash, because they can boost blood pressure.
Do not make the mistake of skipping this episode because you think you're too young to care or worry about dementia. The building blocks of these brain diseases like Alzheimer's or dementia are created now, and our parents are getting close in age to where we need to worry about them. Alzheimer's is exploding. We're nowhere near a cure. Or are we? The biggest bombshell from this episode? Dementia and Alzheimer's are lifestyle diseases. Today's guest is Max Lugavere, New York Times bestselling author, host of the top-ranked wellness podcast, The Genius Life, and one of the most outspoken voices calling out broken brain science. After watching his own mother battle dementia, Max went deep into the research, and what he found challenges everything we've been told about aging, memory loss, and inevitable brain decline.
We're exposing nicotine in this episode, modern bread, mouthwash, eggs, which are good and... Which may be questionable? You'll have to listen to find out. There are so many jaw-dropping studies out there on lifestyle, which Max will discuss. And yet, big pharma keeps striking out when it comes to brain health and disease.

Please welcome Max Lugavere into our Culture Apothecary. I've wanted to have you on this show for so long, Max, because you are really interesting to me for so many different angles. I would say personally, one of the biggest, especially because, you know, I'm openly conservative. This show is technically produced by Turning Point USA, is that you are living in Los Angeles. You're in the health and wellness space. You have been an OG in the health and wellness space, and you're openly pro-Trump. So I just want to hear all about that and literally how you are still doing what you're doing.
Well, I look to be fair. I'm I go to where I feel in the moment is the most aligned with my values, which are ultimately to reduce suffering and mass in the world. And like, you know, not everybody is going to have the same vision in terms of what it's going to take to reduce suffering. But I really believe that both sides of the aisle ultimately want that. Conservatives typically want it more for their local communities, and liberals tend to want it more for... The world. The world, yeah. And people, you know, outside of their direct purview. But ultimately, I do think that they want the same thing. They just have different ideas of how to achieve those goals. I've been a Democratic voter my entire life.
I voted for Obama. I voted for Hillary the first go-around. But the way that I saw things kind of unfold during COVID and ultimately with a lot of the larger sort of sociocultural issues around language and the seemingly disintegrating ability to wrap anything in a definition, gender, whatnot, to me, it just felt like we needed a bit of a cultural reset, like a vibe check. And, you know, the way that society works, I find the pendulum always tends to swing too far in any direction. Like, society always has this tendency to overcorrect. But in the moment, for the last election, and also notably with the alignment of RFK Jr., who, you know, I thought he was operating from a very high-integrity place, and ultimately, you know, I'm very pleased with the dietary guidelines, which I know we're going to talk about, led to the decision to support Trump, to endorse Trump.
