Max sorry it’s taken me so long to write this review. Your content is amazing. Thank you for this life saving information. Your mom would be proud. Keep up the great work. Hugs to Deliala, your cat!
My wife and I are huge fans of Max. We’ve learned so much from his books, advice, and guests. It’s been great advice to help my wife and I as we enter our later 30s and want to age well!
Sometimes interesting guests. The host is insufferably dull and uninspired, however. He’s not much an interviewer. And just left to his own devices these conversations kinda meander and drag on. He seems incapable of thoughtful insight.
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!

A health- and science-focused show that blends practical wellness guidance with interviews from physicians, researchers, and thought leaders. Topics regularly span nutrition, longevity, mental health, sleep, exercise, and lifestyle habits, often featuring skeptical, evidence-based takes and real-world applications. Notable are thoughtful guests who translate complex science into actionable steps, a willingness to challenge wellness hype, and sponsor-integrated discussions that still center on helpful, long-term wellness strategies.
