    I learn so much from this podcast. Max is actually an incredible host - the way he asks questions, and sometimes even goes deep and shares about his own life, makes the podcast not just educational, but entertaining and fun. I don’t miss one episode or else I know I’ll fall behind on all things health!

    Hi Max, I started listening to your podcast on September 1, 2024. I got hooked! I have been listening to one podcast per day. On the weekends, sometimes 2 or 3 while I gardened. Now it’s October 25, 2025…and I finally caught up to you all. I have learned soooo much. Thank you for bringing great people to your podcast to share their experiences and knowledge. You are doing an amazing job! Looking forward to more genius ideas.
