In this deeply insightful episode of Passion Struck, we have the honor of hosting Max Lugavere, an acclaimed health journalist, filmmaker, and bestselling author. A personal experience profoundly influenced Max's profound journey into the field of brain health—his mother's diagnosis with Lewy body dementia in 2011. This life-altering event ignited his mission to uncover the scientific truths behind brain health and the prevention of dementia, ultimately shaping his career and life's work.

We explore Max's heartfelt documentary, "Little Empty Boxes," which chronicles his mother’s struggle with dementia and his decade-long quest to understand the root causes of the condition.
