Abstract
A conversation with Max Lugavere exploring the best diet for brain health. Max believes that we have control over our cognitive destiny and that we need to challenge the narrative that our brain health will decline with age. They discuss the Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND), and hone in on what Max considers to be ‘genius’ foods for the brain including healthy fats (especially avocados and extra virgin olive oil) and those not so beneficial such as processed foods and seed oils. They also discuss what could be considered controversial to some, such the consumption of red meat and dairy and how best to include these in the diet to optimise brain health.

Abstract
If you’re practicing functional medicine, you’re aware of (and likely prescribing) the autoimmune paleo diet, pulling folks off of many foods, lowering carbs, reducing or eliminating lectins (and nightshades). In this terrific podcast with Dr. Datis Kharrazian, we talk about his research in stratifying who’s who with regard to autoimmunity. For example, Dr. K suspects that very roughly about 30% of his autoimmune patients are truly lectin sensitive; they tend to be those with arthritic musculoskeletal autoimmunity, most classically, RA. For many of these folks, lectins must be eliminated. However, lectin/nightshade elimination may not be required for, say, Hashimoto’s; although there IS a collection of potential cross reactive foods that could play a role in promoting antibody production (and removing will reduce ab production)
