Journalist Max Lugavere, working with physician Dr Paul Grewal, translates complex neuroscience into clear, practical advice on nutrition, sleep and stress. Written after his mother's early-onset dementia diagnosis sent him searching for answers, the book blends personal memoir with research, offering a genuinely actionable roadmap to sharper thinking, better mood and long-term cognitive resilience, rather than another vague wellness trend. About the Book When Max Lugavere's mother was diagnosed with a mysterious form of dementia, he stepped away from his media career to understand why her brain was failing and whether anything could be done.

Rather than prescribing a single fad diet, Lugavere explains the mechanisms behind cognitive decline, brain fog, low mood and poor focus, and shows how specific nutrients, whole foods and eating patterns can support memory and long-term brain health. Co-written with Dr Paul Grewal, the book covers healthy fats, blood sugar regulation, inflammation, gut health and the widely discussed "biochemical liposuction" approach to fat loss that also benefits the brain. It draws on peer-reviewed research and expert interviews, while remaining grounded in Lugavere's own family experience, giving the book real emotional weight alongside its scientific rigour.

It has become a touchstone title in the brain-health and longevity space, well suited to readers who want su
