EPISODE 17: MAX LUGAVERE ON DEMENTIA, DIET & THE SCIENCE OF HEALING
Dying Laughing with Jessimae (rereleased episode from December 2020)
Max shares his deeply personal journey through his mother’s diagnosis of Lewy Body Dementia, how it changed his family, and the relentless reality of caring for someone with a degenerative disease. Together, they unpack the emotional toll of dementia, the beauty and pain of end-of-life preparations, and the moments of unexpected kindness that help us survive it.
They also nerd out on the science:
– How nutrition impacts brain health and longevity
– The truth about “anti-aging” and foods to avoid
– The power of sleep, music, and connection in healing
– And how to care for your brain before it’s too late
It’s heartfelt, educational, and filled with moments of laughter — proof that grief and growth can coexist.
