Absolutely superb show and guests

Each one is a treat and leaves you with a lot to reflect on.

I'm a 50yr old single male dad of s boy and so all do the episodes relate on many levels to me and my son.

Peace xx

Changed my life!

I love the show - Max and his guests have changed the way I approach my relationship with food and exercise. Not only do I look and feel great, it’s also changed my moods and therefore improved my relationships. I have haeamochromatosis, a condition that leads to my body keeping hold of excess Iron - if left untreated - very dangerous. I manage this through diet and occasional hospital treatments. Any nuanced advice on how to avoid excess iron would be fantastic if possible Max as more red meat generally means I need more hospital treatment due to increased excess iron. This affects millions of people across the northern hemisphere and the NHS/standard advice is avoid red meat and leafy veg!!! Keep up the good work - many thanks!!!

Allyallyoy ,

Max is great to listen to.

This is my absolute favourite show to listen to. Max is always open to new ideas and concepts, he isn’t pushy of his own beliefs and he’s really fun to listen to. I’ve enjoyed every episode so far and I’m working through them at a frightening rate. I Love it.
