Ep. # 113 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, my most visited guest Max Lugavere is back for his third episode! Today he is filling us in on his recent documentary Little Empty Boxes inspired by his mother’s diagnosis. We really get deep into the subject of dementia and Alzheimers and talk about contributing factors, prevention, and even how diet plays a role. Getting even more personal, Max shares more about his upbringing in New York and how both his and his mother’s diet and lifestyles have changed over the course of the last decade. Today’s episode is great for anyone who has a loved one with dementia, or for anyone looking to maintain brain health! Leave Me a Message - click here! For Mari’s Instagram click here!
