Max’s podcast isn’t fear mongering influencer nonsense. He’s genius level smart and picks guests and topics that are life changing for not only our health but relationships. The things I’ve learned through this show have impacted my life for the better… thank you Max. We love you. God bless you.
Great interview and may I say “timely” for me. When you change your mindset and say no, you’re really saying YES to other things, like planned projects or just a day with a journal. Time is fleeting. Thanks for the reminder that I’m in charge. Keep up the good work!
I just started listening to this podcast a month ago, and I’ve already learnt so much about physical and mental health! Max asks all the important questions that we wonder about. I am going to listen to all the episodes! Keep up the great work and I look forward to more 😊
I’m the “health/wellness” friend/family member and I RAVE about how I base a lot of my habits and things I learn from this podcast! I listen to it while I’m walking, cleaning, or cooking and then I feel like I learned something that I can apply.
The episodes on women’s health are just amazingly informative. Please do more! There is a difference when you bring the experts and combine it with your expertise in Metabolic Health. The PCOS one blew my mind. Please do more.
