Found this podcast about 6/8 months ago and I’m forever a listener. Not only are his topics informative and guests knowledgeable and interesting to listen too. His voice and demeanor a perfect companion on my daily walks.

Every time I listen to this podcast I’m happily surprised that Max has so much variability within this genre! Food science, brain science, active lifestyle, pop culture interviews, books, movies, poetry, coffee, protein, cats, family! It keeps me interested in coming back again and again.

I love how Max is so intelligent and what he brings out of his guests. Whatever the topic, I know I will enjoy listening. It is like being a fly on the wall when very intelligent people are talking!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a couple of years and never had an episode that wasn’t always spot on. I have a medical background and also training in functional health, every guest on this show only enhances, complements and teaches me even more! Just love it! Thanks Max!

Very grateful I came across this podcast. Max is an amazing host and I learn something to make my life better in every episode, even in topics I feel like wouldn't apply to me. Every episode feels like a casual conversation between two friends and is loaded with information to enhance daily life. Max is knowledgeable, and knows the right questions to ask and lets the guest spread their knowledge while adding his own when appropriate without interrupting as many hosts tend to do. Each episode has a great flow and Max feels connected with every guest.

Just listened to a great interview with Sal Di Stefano and really felt relaxed and inspired by the common-sense advice for both training and nutrition. Great confirmation for living a balanced life without unnecessary “hacks”.

I found this show a little sexist, traditional, and old fashioned. I felt they relegated women to have one type of behavior and response to relationships and the world at large (and men as well).

I’ve absolutely loved this podcast for years. The topics are always so intriguing and thoughtfully explored, and Max’s delivery makes every episode incredibly engaging. He brings on amazing guests and has such a natural ability to communicate ideas in a way that keeps you hooked from start to finish. I’m always excited when a new episode drops and love learning something new every time. Highly recommend! 🎙️✨

SENSATIONAL EPISODE Thank You! Question for you or Dr.Wright With so many women being diagnosed with estrogen positive breast cancers and then placed on aromatase inhibitors to block that estrogen how can we stay ahead of bone loss - is it even possible ! Please let us know where to turn for more expert advice - buying “Unbreakabke” now! MP

A linguist who hasn’t gotten the memo that stating a fact or even an opinion that is a sentence that would be followed by a period in writing that sounds like a question mark is the most annoying verbal tick to those of us who know how to speak properly, is as off putting as a horrendous run on sentence. ( irony intentional)

I have listened to this podcast for almost a year and I won’t miss an episode. I appreciate how Max is not afraid to bring even the most difficult, intimate and challenging the status quo topics to the table. He brings on the best and incredibly knowledgeable guests on the show that are experts and often pioneers in their field. The podcasts are a good hour or more however the way Max engages questions with his guests has me feeling like it was the best time I could spend and I am energized when it’s over and want to hear more. Every episode I feel like I have learned so much and added so many tools for life to my tool box. Hands down my favorite go to podcast in the health and science spa

I’ve been listening to the show for about 3 months and have learned a lifetime’s worth of knowledge. I appreciate how you aren’t afraid to take a stand on controversial topics. And your friendly and down-to-earth delivery is quite engaging. I would love to meet you someday. Keep it up and thank you!🙂

Enjoyed the James Sexton episode, most honest & heartfelt, kudos to Jim for being transparent and sharing his experience, what we’ve all lived thru (and still experiencing) at some point in our life. Appreciate you Max!

This is my favorite show of all time, hands down. This show got me addicted to podcasts, and gave me the knowledge to pull myself out of veganism! The Genius Life is such easy listening, it stays funny and light hearted while discussing serious topics. This show continues to give me inspiring insight on how to improve my health in so many ways. I love tuning in every week. On Episode 540 you knocked it out of the park! Forever grateful thank you!!!

This episode changed my life. I have been a listener for years now and I really enjoy your show. I always learn something new. It is insightful and thought provoking. Love your mission and your purpose . I am 41, going on 42 and what Maya said regarding her journey with motherhood and infertility gave me a positive outlook and in many ways gave me so much peace about not being able to have children. All my love to you both!! Please don’t stop doing what you do !! - Andrea Oliva

Love this podcast so much Stop being so uptight Rachel Brown. Max is hilarious

The recent episode on the anti inflammatory cookbook links to a different book - not Josh’s Max I just found your podcast and listened to your broadcast from Dec 24 on mind shift. I can’t wait to listen to more of them. These are a couple aspects that I loved. 1. You spoke about your weaknesses ie meditation getting out of bed. It helped me know I wasn’t alone and opened the conversation. 2. Your speaker was not only inspiring but PRACTICAL. He presented action steps that I can do. Signed, Jill - A new fan in Lake Tahoe

I typically find your podcasts to be informative and intentional, and my husband and I have been to one of your speaking engagements before. I just listened to your interview with Josh Redd, and found your comment about wives and girlfriends in relation to vagus nerve stimulation and gagging to be immature and insulting.

I really like max and his podcast. I was lucky enough to meet him along with his beautiful girlfriend at a conference I traveled to earlier this month. I was not familiar with his work, but after his beautiful charming girlfriend suggested I listen to the episode with the well known Dr. Amen of Amen Clinics. I began to incorporate his podcast on my early morning walks. I am interested in the topics he discusses as a man who wants to live a long healthy life and maintain my active lifestyle into older age. I have recommended this podcast to my son in law and friends. Keep up the good work Max! Congratulations on your success.

The fabulous lady behind the scenes, thank you for keeping this content fresh, focused and female friendly. Love this podcast so much! Happy Holidays xox

Max brings sometimes complex topics into easy to understand conversations with experts. There’s always humor and a good balance of living in the real world and an ideal state. I really like the broad range of topics that Max covers with his guests. I highly recommend the genius life podcast to anyone and everyone.

I like that I can usually walk away with some tools that I can apply in my life immediately. He brings science backed information and qualified guests. Episode 525 was not my favorite. I had to fast forward through most of it and then gave up. It was the guest though, not Max. This guest’s advice was all over the place…it was impossible to understand what his expertise actually was. But that is a rare occurrence with this podcast. It almost always has valuable insights to a great life. Thanks Max.

This was my favorite podcast ever. I am challenged and encouraged that wisdom is being discussed as the missing element in today’s politically charged atmosphere. I loved the dialogue around male/female, personal responsibility, and curiosity. Max-congrats on a job very well done! We could use many more voices like you and Kaizen. Appreciate y’all!

Pros: Great topics, Great guests. Cons: Max has no understanding of oppression and in fact argues against its legitimacy often. He also does not understand impacts of harmful rhetoric by people with a platform (ie: Charlie Kirk) and is complacent in not calling it out. Skip this one. There are much better educators out there if you want to be informed.

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!

This is one of my favorite podcasts, always brimming with relevant information for health and wellness!

This podcast makes me smarter. I love how Max isn’t long winded but is data backed and doesn’t shy away from sharing his hot takes either. I honestly think this is the best (and most entertaining) health podcast out there. Highly recommend!!!

So excited to have met Max at PCCA International symposium. He adds to what I already know about nutrition and disease.

I’ve been following Max for almost 10 years and really trust his research and love the breadth of topics he covers.

These podcasts are always so helpful. I learn so much from these guests and especially from Max and it’s always enjoyable. I talk about his podcasts endlessly to all my friends and family and always forward them along to people that would appreciate the information.

The Genius Life is hands down one of the most insightful health podcasts out there. Max’s intelligence and depth of knowledge shine through in every episode — he has a rare gift for translating complex science into clear, practical advice that actually improves everyday life. You can tell he’s done his homework; his questions and content are thoughtful, evidence-based, and often go deeper than what most interviewers ever touch. What I love most is how Max blends his scientific curiosity with real-world empathy — it’s not just about data, but about helping people live healthier, sharper, and more meaningful lives. Every episode leaves me smarter and more inspired to take control of my health. Truly a must-listen for anyone serious about wellness and longevity.

I really enjoy listening to Max and his podcasts with different guests. Always relevant and easy to understand. He is so knowledgeable. He has simple and practical advice on achieving good health. Thanks Max!

This show has helped to support my ongoing journey of living a truly healthy lifestyle from the inside—out! I have learned so much about how to live healthy and I trust Max to always give researched based info. Great podcast for people that are just starting their health journey or are looking to learn new info to continue the health path they’ve been on. I learn something new to apply to my daily practices with every single podcast ep!

Thank you so much Max for all you do, love this podcast and always learning so much from you and your guests.

The thing I love the most about this podcast is that the information isn’t one sided. Max brings on the experts and has a healthy discussion about topics - even if it’s not what he would personally do. He doesn’t force any one thing, but instead, gives you, the listener, the information (the science) to make your own decision and invites you to do your own research. I’ve learned so much through his podcast!

I look forward to every episode!! I’ve learned so much here! My favs are in my library and I share this genius info with just about every friend! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PART IN HELPING US LIVE GENIUS LIVES!

This podcast is a great listen. Never boring. I always take away a useful nugget of information that helps me in my daily life, no matter the topic!

Max is exemplary. I love this podcast!

I have been listening to Max now for years. It is amazing how much I’ve learned, and more importantly how much it has encouraged me to do my own research. Thank you Max, for doing all this hard work and always selecting good quality guests. You make a positive impact in this ever-changing world.

This guy knows what he’s talking about!🙌

My favorite podcast! Max always has the most interesting guests and topics. I’ve learned a lot.

Always a great show!! The authenticity, humor, knowledge and amazing guest! Im always learning something new and even gaining new perspectives on various topics. Thank you for always showing up as yourself and being open minded about other viewpoints and truly having adult conversations… no matter how uncomfortable it may be. 💚💚

This was one of the first podcasts that I started listening to regularly and has been my favorite from the start. I would say it has changed my life. This podcast and Max's books have been instrumental in my healthy style. His voice is as comforting as an old friend and I look forward to every episode. PS I love every time Luke Cook comes on--guaranteed laughs and good conversation

Max does amazing research, humility, intelligence, wisdom and truth.

I really love the Genius Life podcast. Max has a way of making things easy to understand and fun to listen to. Every episode gives me something I can actually use in my day to day life and I always walk away feeling inspired and motivated to take better care of myself. He’s real and passionate and it shows. Definitely one of my favorites ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

By far my favorite podcast. I’ve learned so much and often share episodes with friends.

Such a great podcast for anyone interested in improving their health and well-being!

I just love this podcast. I listen to it while I’m walking. So informative and Max genuinely cares. Especially about women’s issues which is amazing. The episodes about menopause and hrt I found so helpful! Thank you, Max!

This is something I ask my sister weekly. I’ve been with Max since 2017. Bought his first book in 2018. It changed my relationship with food and lifestyle. I especially love his authenticity he’s been showing more of in his podcasts and social media posts. He makes everything so easy to Understand and is just a joy to listen to. He does so much of the research that I feel confident to Send family and friends his way to learn more.

I love the episodes about menopause. I am learning a lot that I can apply to my life.
