Three Simple Things That Will Boost Your Brain Power
Filmmaker Max Lugavere is known for his popular vlogs on health science topics ranging from intermittent fasting to the microbiome. He’s currently filming Bread Head, a documentary about preventing dementia through diet and other lifestyle factors.
