Max Lugavere (born in 1982 in New York City) is an American television personality, health and wellness writer, and low-carbohydrate diet advocate. He resides in Los Angeles, California, and New York City. Lugavere was born and raised in Manhattan, New York City, to parents of Jewish descent. Lugavere graduated with a degree in film and psychology from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida.
From 2005 to 2011, Lugavere was a presenter on Current TV, an independent cable network. He co-hosted the show Max and Jason: Still Up with Jason Silva, where they featured a wide range of current events and stories ranging from illegal immigration to counterfeit IDs. In 2013, Lugavere created, produced, and hosted Tribeca Enterprises' first-ever original series, Acting Disruptive, airing across the AOL universe (AolOn, Huffington Post, TechCrunch, etc.). The series covered disruptive ideas and innovation while featuring prominent entertainer-entrepreneurs.
In January 2015, Lugavere launched a Kickstarter campaign for a documentary film called Bread Head. The project was to explore "the impact of our diets and lifestyles on brain health" as a means of dementia prevention. As of 2020, the film remains unreleased, having raised over $130,000 in pledges. Lugavere has contributed to The Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, Fast Company, and Munchies on topics of science, innovation, and technology. He has also appeared as a guest on The Point, The Rubin Report, The Joe Rogan Experience, and The Dr. Oz Show.
Lugavere promotes a low-carbohydrate diet of grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, and pasture-raised or omega-3 enriched eggs with low-carbohydrate fibrous vegetables, extra virgin olive oil, and salt. In May 2018, Lugavere and Paul Grewal co-authored the book Genius Foods, which discusses the link between diet and brain health.
In 2018, Jonathan Jarry of McGill University's Office for Science and Society analyzed Lugavere's health-related claims in his book, Genius Foods, and podcast, and concluded that Lugavere lacked the credentials to accurately interpret the scientific literature used to substantiate his health claims, and acknowledged Lugavere's business ambitions. Jarry noted that "Lugavere appears like a proponent of common-sense solutions to ill health—better nutrition, exercise, and sleep—but it’s only when you start to trust him that he reveals himself to be a naive believer in anything that has a study behind it. His book has received endorsements from people like Dr. Oz and functional medicine proponent Mark Hyman, and this company is telling."
Lugavere has criticized plant-based and vegan diets for increasing the risk of dementia and mental health problems. He has argued that eggs have been "unfairly demonized" by governments, despite containing choline which he says has been linked to lower dementia risk. Lugavere also recommends regular consumption of red meat for mental health.

Andrew Thomas Weil is an American celebrity doctor who advocates for alternative medicine, including the 4-7-8 breathing technique. Andrew Thomas Weil was born in Philadelphia on June 8, 1942, the only child of parents who operated a millinery store in a Reform Jewish family. He graduated from high school in 1959 and was awarded a scholarship from the American Association for the United Nations, giving him the opportunity to go abroad for a year, living with families in India, Thailand, and Greece.
From this experience, he became convinced that, in many ways, American culture and science were insular and unaware of non-American practices. He began hearing that mescaline enhanced creativity and produced visionary experiences, and finding little information on the subject, he read The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley. Weil entered Harvard University in 1960, majoring in biology with a concentration in ethnobotany.&nbsp;
He had an early curiosity regarding psychoactive drugs, and in that period, he met Harvard psychologists Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert and separately engaged in organized experimentation with mescaline. Weil would write for and eventually serve as an editor of the Harvard Crimson. One published account of the period describes a falling out of Weil from the group that included the faculty—among whom the experimentation with drugs was contentious and, with regard to undergraduates, proscribed; the falling out involved an exposé on drug use and supply that Weil wrote for the Crimson.&nbsp;
Weil's undergraduate thesis was titled "The Use of Nutmeg as a Psychotropic Agent," specifically on the narcotic properties of nutmeg, inspired by a class with David McClelland, chair of the Department of Social Relations and a former director of Harvard's Center for Research in Personality. In 1964, he graduated cum laude with a B.A. in biology.
Weil entered Harvard Medical School "not with the intention of becoming a physician but rather simply to obtain a medical education." He received a medical degree in 1968, although "the Harvard faculty ... threatened to withhold it because of a controversial marijuana study Weil had helped conduct" in his final year. Weil moved to San Francisco and completed a one-year medical internship at Mount Zion Hospital in 1968–69. While there, he volunteered at the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic.[citation needed] Weil completed one year of a two-year program at NIH, resigning due to "official opposition to his work with marijuana."
Following his internship, Weil took a position with the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) that lasted approximately one year to pursue his interests in research on marijuana and other drugs; during this time, he may have received formal institutional permission to acquire marijuana for the research.
Weil is reported to have experienced opposition to this line of inquiry at the NIMH, to have departed to his rural northern Virginia home (1971-1972), and to have begun his practices of vegetarianism, yoga, and meditation, and work on writing The Natural Mind (1972). At the same time, Weil began an affiliation with the Harvard Botanical Museum that would span from 1971 to 1984, where his work included duties as a research associate investigating "the properties of medicinal and psychoactive plants." His interests led him to explore the healing systems of indigenous people. With this aim, Weil traveled throughout South America and other parts of the world, "collecting information about medicinal plants and healing," from 1971 to 1975 as a fellow for the Institute of Current World Affairs.
In 1994, Weil founded the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson, Arizona, where he serves as its director. Andrew Weil is the founder of True Food Kitchen, a restaurant chain serving meals on the premise that food should make you feel better. There are currently 32 restaurants in the chain.

In The Telomere Effect, Elissa Epel explains that telomeres are the protective caps at the end of our chromosomes. They play a crucial role in our health and aging process. When we understand how they work, we can take steps to keep them healthy and slow down our aging process.

Understanding Telomeres

Epel's research in the book shows that chronic stress can shorten our telomeres. This can lead to premature aging and a host of health problems. So, it's important to find ways to manage stress effectively.

The Impact of Stress

The Telomere Effect emphasizes the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep can all help to maintain the length of our telomeres. It's not just about living longer, but living healthier and happier.

Importance of Healthy Lifestyle

The book also explores the benefits of mindfulness and meditation. These practices can help reduce stress and have a positive effect on our telomeres. So, take some time each day to quiet your mind and focus on the present moment.

Mindfulness and Meditation

Elissa Epel also highlights the importance of positive relationships in our lives. Having strong social connections can help reduce stress and contribute to longer, healthier telomeres. So, make sure to nurture your relationships with family and friends.

Elissa Epel, Ph.D. (pronunciation), is an international expert on stress, well-being, and optimal aging and a best-selling author. She is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry &amp; Behavioral Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco. She is Vice Chair of Psychology and directs the Aging Metabolism Emotions Center. She studies the environmental, psychological, behavioral, and social factors that impact cellular aging (such as telomeres, inflammation, and mitochondria) and is also focusing on climate wellness.
She studies how self-care practices such as meditation and positive stress can promote psychological and physiological thriving. She is interested in large-scale interventions for communal well-being and health equity. She uses science as a north star, guiding us in the context of other sources of contemplative wisdom. She co-wrote the New York Times best-seller “The Telomere Effect: A revolutionary approach to living younger, longer” with Nobel Laureate Elizabeth Blackburn (translated into 30 languages).&nbsp;
Epel is a National Academy of Medicine member, current President of the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research, and co-chair of the Mind &amp; Life Institute Steering Council. She has served as a consultant to NIH, CDC, Facebook, Apple, United Health, and UC campus-wide initiatives on stress and health. Epel’s research has been featured in venues such as TEDMED, Wisdom 2.0, NBC’s Today Show, CBS’s Morning Show, 60 minutes, National Public Radio, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and science documentaries. She enjoys leading science-based contemplative retreats at venues such as WEF/Davos, Esalen, Spirit Rock Meditation Center, and 1440 Multiversity.&nbsp;
