Perfect for you if...

  • You're struggling with brain fog or forgetfulness and want to know which foods genuinely help rather than trusting marketing hype.
  • You care about preventing cognitive decline and want science-backed strategies you can start today, not theoretical wellness advice.
  • You've noticed your mood, energy, and focus fluctuate with what you eat and want to understand the neuroscience behind it.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You expect a recipe book or meal plan. This is research and strategy, not detailed cooking instructions.
  • You're looking for quick fixes or supplements instead of dietary and lifestyle changes you'll actually sustain.
  • You prefer mainstream diet culture narratives. This challenges conventional thinking about what 'brain healthy' really means.

About this book

Max Lugavere explores the connection between diet and brain health in this practical guide to cognitive function and brain aging. After his mother's diagnosis with dementia, Lugavere spent years researching the science of cognitive decline, consulting with leading scientists and clinicians worldwide and reviewing current scientific research. In Genius Foods, Lugavere presents findings on how dietary and lifestyle choices affect focus, learning, memory, creativity, analysis, and mood. He combines research on dementia prevention, cognitive optimization, and nutritional psychiatry into actionable lifestyle changes designed to support neuroplasticity. The book covers nutrients that boost memory and mental clarity; foods and tactics to energize the brain across ages; a fat-loss method described as "biochemical liposuction"; and foods that support long-term happiness. Lugavere offers a practical approach to reducing inflammation, clearing brain fog, and optimizing brain health and performance both now and in the future.
