Value in Every Episode

Hey Max,

Greetings all the way from South Africa! Thank you so much for the great content you put out - I listen to every single episode and there’s not one where I don’t learn something new and try to adapt in bringing the new lessons into my life.

I’m a converted plant based eater and the content you’ve provided has led me to change my mind regarding that way of eating, but there’s been so much more value that your content has added to my life, e.g., the recent episode with Krista Williams (episode 367) on “how to heal your relationship with food”! Thank you so much! Keep up the great work - I’ll be listening!

Hi Max. I simply adore your podcast but this particular episode was simply mind blowing, I had to listen to it twice over. There are so many pearls of wisdom contained in this interview. I hope these eps inspire you to continue doing a great job and bringing wisdom to humanity.
Much love, Nicci Robertson (Johannesburg, South Africa)

This Podcast is Changing My Life

Hey Max, I listen to your podcast religiously. You’re interesting and your thought leadership is objective, which is why I frequent your channel - and recommend it to others!

For months, I’ve battled with long-COVID and a virus that was causing extreme dizziness and fatigue. Being in a constant state of fatigue and dizziness left me with crippling depression but every morning while putting my daily face beat on, I’d listen to your podcast and each week, a little something would resonate with my own health journey. One in particular, cured this viral dizziness and has been a game changer for my long-COVID: the episode which delved into the benefits of black seed oil. Within 3-days, my dizziness disappeared and energy levels lifted - I was a different human!

Further to the above, I’ve adopted many of the principles outlined in your episodes and find them to work - quickly! From taking desiccated liver tablets, to grass fed-butter, grass-fed whey, to Ashwagandha tablets, having vinegar regularly - and the list goes on. My health is improving on the daily thanks to you and your team!

Keep up the incredible work. Your podcast has changed my life and continues to do so… all the way from South Africa, babes!
