Hey guys! Thanks so much for watching my trailer. I’m so excited to share this deeply personal project with you. Please visit littleemptyboxes.com to find out how you can see it first.
Max, I lost my dad 6 years ago to Alzheimer's Disease and my 86-year-old mom has cognitive decline, so your message hits home. Since I found you, I have adjusted my diet and supplements to hopefully add a few years to my cognition. Your mother was a lucky woman to have you as a son. She must have been and still is, so proud. Thank you, Roberta
This is an incredible labor of love Max. Thank you for your dedication, hours of studying, researching, educating us🙏 This is a beautiful project and I’m so thrilled the world will get to know ow your mom, you, and hopefully spark a revolution into curing Alzheimer’s 🙌
I'm in the UK. I really hope I get the chance to see this online at some point. It looks like an incredibly moving and important documentary to watch.
Very touching. Will definitely go watch this. It's undeniable that you LOVE your mum very much, we could all see that. I felt it, just love what you did, as my mum is the most important person to me in this entire world. Your mum would have been so so PROUD of you.
I actually have early onset Alzheimer's myself (was diagnosed at 35) due to medications I was put on as well as a previously poor diet. Hopefully your documentary shows what other things I can do about it besides exercise and healthy natural foods.
This is my worst nightmare. Someday looking at my beautiful wife and not recognizing her. All the while being her greatest burden. I will definitely be watching. And thank you for sacrificing your privacy for the benefit of the greater good.
I've been going through this with my mom for the past 6 years, and the trailer alone made me cry. I don't know how you found the strength to document your families journey through this horrible disease, but thank you. I will definitely watch, and bring a full box of tissues.
It as hard to comprehend that my mom was not recognized me one day , we had conversations and she told me stories about her beautiful daughter Tanya and I was sitting in front of her and she couldn’t make any connections. She past away 10 years ago and I still remember her last years , it was hard for me to see her having this horrible disease. Thank you Max for bringing attention to this issue and educating people. 🙏
It is not about you
I understand, but thank you 😊
This affects every single person in the family, direct caregivers the most.
My Mom and Uncle died from this awful disease. Thank you for making this film to bring awareness to it
Its is not about you
Awareness to Alzheimer's? Not being rude but this is one of the most known diseases in the world.
@@martinblanckblog Never said it was genius
@seaofflowers. Yes everyone knows about it but how many people know what you can do to slow it's progression naturally and living a healthy lifestyle
Beautiful. I am a carer for a man with PCA dementia and Lewy Bodies Dementia. Biscuits were his trigger. A vicar who would have tea with sugar and biscuits every day with each household he visited. Sugar is at the core of most ailments and conditions. It dumbs you down. We are all sweet enough. ✌️❤️
It's great there's more and more material, personal docos, films and scientific docos being brought about Alzheimers.
Both my paternal Grandparents passed away from this.
And I'd love to know as much as this as possible.
Knowledge is power.
And indeed what I do with this knowledge.
I consciously keep a physically active life and have gone back to Uni to finish a degree, and meditate, self care and try to keep sugars down.
Need to make conscious choices for a healthy heart and mind.
❤️
I'll definitely be watching this. Thanks Max.
Thank you for making this movie. I've been following you for 9 years and now have a family member who is experiencing dementia. You make a difference! Knowledge is power.
Found the trailer via Max's newsletter.
At first I just passed over it. I wasn't planning on clicking the trailer link. I just wanted to see this weeks updates.
Watching this trailer put me in tears. Knowing how vital this education is for people. Seeing a glimpse of how this disease affects peoples families and lives. It brings me to tears of both joy and pain.
Max - thank you my friend. Thank you for sharing so much of your life to try and educate and mitigate the pain of this disease. I am grateful for you and for your mom.
Thank you
I'm 26 and my brain is on fire with inflammation. I just failed my MoCA test (a standardized as an indicator for dementia). It's terrifying.
Thank you Max for making this video, and raising awareness. See you in Santa Monica ❤
Please watch YT videos by Dr. John Campbell and Dr. Suneel Dhand. They will teach you a lot about inflammatory diets and supplements. Also learn more about dementias from free courses by Future Learn, college level courses taught online by universities in Great Britian. They have basic to advanced information from cause to diagnosis to treatment. The more you learn the better you are able to handle life ahead. You may be terrified now, but you are young and have time to greatly slow the progress. The Alzheimer's Assoc. will try to scare you, don't let them. There are amazing ways to deal with your prognosis in positive ways. I live in NC and have a second FB page for dementia you can access. You will do great, keep learning.
Dementia in your twenties is rare. Are you sure that you aren’t subconsciously sabotaging your performance on the test because of an anxiety about dementia?
Adopt the Carnivore diet, look in to it, do your own research, give it a good go for 30 or more days and watch all the youtube content by searching Carnivore, lots from doctors and those who eat this way. Its mind blowing what a change, changing your diet makes. Plant cause inflammation, sugar and carbs (complex sugar broken down to simple sugar by our body) causes insulin resistance and seed oils via the oxidized particles cause the block arteries.
@@boboloko rare but not impossible... @Kylamarie055 - wishing you strength and love in your journey. we need to find a cure (and the real source) now.
I’m so sorry…I hope they are wrong in your case…xo
Thank you so much. I will definitely watch when released. My mother died of Alzheimer’s and my younger brother by 4 years. It’s devastating. I feel you Max. I firmly believe they feel the love from their family even when they don’t remember who you are. God bless 🙏🏻
So true! I had people say they didn't visit mom in memory care because she didn't know who they were. That isn't the point. It isn't about them, it is about her. She still knew love. She always knew love. And that should be enough. God bless Max for this movie.
This is not about you
Max, Thank you for sharing a very private and personal story with your audience and the public at large. I hope you continue to inspire the real change our population desperately needs.
Omg, this brought back so many memories. I am so sorry you had to go through that. I totally believe it is the diet combined with the lack of exercise. Oh, my heart. I am going to have to go walk this off now. I can't wait to see this, what a wonderful tribute to a Mother.
Hey Mr. Lugavere, will be waiting to see it hit here AZ. Definitely recommend it to my peeps who are really concerned about themselves & or friends family members. I'm a micro- farmer researcher trying to understand the microbiome of the soil to get a better understanding of gut health of humans, & species
we consume & what they consume. God bless you 4 ur energy, devotion, & 5 star journalism for the sake of mom, all moms, fathers, & human kindness. Thanx Max. Cheers....
Please know what you are doing is very impactful. Thank you so much for being a lighthouse. Sorry for your loss, much love Max from MN
Dear Max, thank you for this- for making this movie that I am eager to watch. Watching this trailer, seeing your dear Mom brought up so many emotions for me as my Mom passed away 2 years ago from Parkinson's/dementia. Thank you for ALL that you are doing in this space of health and wellness. Getting the word out there. God bless and much love to you.
The movie is not about you... Please comment on the trailer
Thank you for making this movie, I lost my father two years ago. He had Alzheimer's. Its a hard illness for not only the person who has it, but for the family going through it with them. I think people need to realize that it can be frustration and painful even horrifying at time's to see your loved one and what they are going through. But they don't realize what is happening to them. We see it and it hurts us. we realize what is happening to them. We need to see the world how they see it now. Even if we get frustrated and upset at the things they do and don't do. Always remember they are not doing it to hurt or frustrated or annoy us. This is just the person you love who now lives a different reality. Please remember that, and please understand it...just love them as they loved you. Even if they don't know you anymore. You know them and remember who they are and were to you..💗
Wow😮
The PASSION in that short trailer!
Max, You have a beautiful connection with your mother💕
I'm a believer she's still watching and I bet she's SO proud!
Everyone can see the love you have for your mother through the dedication you have! And to turn something so tragic into THIS... knowledge and awareness to help others. 🙏
Oh Max, this is just everything. This awful disease runs rampant in my family, and I appreciate all you do to share information and best practices in hopes of helping shift the future. Congratulations, you are making a difference and have truly impacted my life for the better.
This is a deeply personal subject for me as I am watching both of my beautiful parents slowly fade away from this disease. The information that you put out has genuinely changed my life, and the changes that I have made will hopefully allow me to avoid such a dreadful demise later in life. Thank you, Max, for using your platform in such a meaningful way. Congratulations!
I work in dementia care and this is already making me cry. This is a beautiful, beautiful film, I can tell just from the trailer.
Oooof. Already in tears. We lost my grandmother to severe dementia in 2018. Incredibly hard to watch our loved ones succumb to these diseases, or rather, type 3 diabetes. Thankful for folks like Max who are constantly searching for better answers and science and helping us all to reverse course with our diets to hopefully push back against these diseases. 😢
So glad this is now out! I know it's been a heartfelt project in the making. For the rest of the world (non-NY'ers) when will it come to our areas or Netflix?! Really looking forward to this little gem. Have followed you for years, Max, and want to say congratulations!!! Thank you for all you do to help us on our personal health journeys! All the best to you and your team!
Sorry for loss. Thanks for bringing light to all this.
Will watch, will share. Will do everything I can to show people. I’ve been following you for sooooo long. And I know you’ve been working on this for even longer. Much love to you. What you do is so important. ❤
Max im so sorry for what u had to endure but it lit ur fire and now ur saving millions of lives, thank u for ur bravery and clawing determination to change the world for the better, please keep fighting and teaching us, we need u!!🙌❤️
I admire so much how your love for your mum inspires your mission Max ❤
this just broke my heart i lost my precious mom to this horrible disease 5 years ago watching her disappear slowly right in front of me and not to remember who i was 😞😞😞😞😞
The trailer is great. I felt the emotion!
So beautiful, so real and so wonderful to bring this to life. Going through this with my mom and have been for several years. She just turned 70 and it’s a sin. I started following Max because of this connection to this horrible disease, and I am so happy I did. Looking forward to seeing this movie. May need a box, or two of tissues….🙏🏻
My mom has been diagnosed with Parkinson's... dementia started showing up in the last 6months...we changed her diet to carnivore 60 days ago and OMG, I have my mom back. Inflammation in her entire body has eased, she can follow in conversations again, do so much for herself again, her arthritis in her shoulders from over 20 years has nearly gone...and it's only been 60 days. Before this she was low fat, high fiber, and sugar (sweet tooth).
Thanks for making this. Just like in your trailer I recently sat in the Dr office with my mom while they were asking her the month, date and season. She got them all wrong 😢. It’s going to be a long road ahead.
Same with my mom. She passed years ago. I want to say thank you for being there for her. Take the little jewels as gifts along the way. They exist, and will be fantastic as they happen. One day at a time. Reach out to support groups. I had one. Family goes through their own grief at that time because you lose them slowly. A group is extremely helpful. Try it, even it you don't think you need it. You can always leave it if isn't for you. Bless you.
What a valuable offering to help those dealing with this horrible disease. And, hopefully, prevent others from getting it.
You are willing to share personal information-in fact, a family tragedy- in order to help people become healthier, and this pretty much shows how kind you are. Your mom raised a very good person. I wish you success with everything, Max. Greetings from Greece!
My mother passed of dementia 7 years ago. I assisted my father who was her caregiver. It's a horrible thing to go through. Such courage to share your story.
You must have gone through a battle to be able to expose your life and your family, especially your beloved mother. But you can be sure that the good you are doing justifies it! Thanks for that!
Will the documentary be available to other countries?
I'm still hurting from my husband passing last year. I nursed him for 13 yrs with alzheimers.
I am so glad this is coming out finally. I remember when you named this, "Breadhead" , in its beginning stages, but this title is PERFECT.
I'm so very sorry for your loss, but thank you for turning your loss and your pain into a life's work that is helping so, so many people. Thank you, Max.🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
Yes, you got it. It was worth waiting for. The title change, the change of emphasis, the focus on your mom, the understanding that to get the point across it needed to be personal, the understanding of inflammation and carb consumption, the timing that in the last four years pharma/government has outed themselves as having not serving the best interest of the people but keeping us in bondage as payers in a system. It's here. Thank you for the time, the growth, the evolution, the compassion. I'm sorry about the pain, the emotion, the loss. Many of us have gone through it and feel helpless as we've tried to teach others, but one at a time people listen and we save a few. Keep moving forward.
Very powerful. Sorry for the immense loss in your life. I felt that watching the trailer. But I also felt the deep love you two shared and her light shining through. I look forward to seeing the film and learning from the journey you and your mother took and the knowledge you gained on that journey. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
Thank you for sharing such a challenging personal story, this will make the world a better place. Thank you for being a lighthouse and sharing your passion.
Thank you for sharing yours and your Mom’s story…. I think this will truly be impactful for so many people, I can only hope ❤ I’m not gonna lie, it brought me to tears, I lost my brother to this horrible disease, it was painful to watch someone you love go through this. I’m so grateful for your message and for creating this film and being so open with us all. Much love and appreciation for you 🙏
Congratulations on the film Max, and best of luck getting it out to the world and spreading the word! Such a deeply personal story to share.
I look forward to screening this film...your amazing trialer brought tears to my eyes...
Many thanks to Max and his family for this important work. I cannot wait to see it.
That scene at the doctor’s office could have come from life with my mom now. It’s so hard to watch pieces of her disappear. I’m so sorry you went through this and also incredibly grateful for your work and for sharing your message so freely. Hopefully my children won’t have to watch this happen to me.😢
God bless.
I wish we fight this disease instead of fighting wars.
All the best, Max. I've been waiting for a while to see this come to fruition... From Bread Head to Little Empty Boxes.
Thank you for making this, Max & friends.
Excited to be a part of the April 26 screening!
God bless.
Omg I am crying. Looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing her story and your journey.
Can’t wait!!! I first learned about your work as a student in the Integrative Nutrition program. Your story with your mom really struck me! As a life long vegetarian I started to rethink my relationship to protein, added it and helped my nervous system and my brain cope with stress better. So looking forward to this heart reaching film. ❤
I can't wait to see your movie, Max! Thank you for sharing your powerful story with us!
When you forget who you are.....i will be here for you to remember for us both😢❤
Such a wonderful trailer-can hardly wait to see it! Thank you for making this film!
Love this Max!! Can’t wait to watch the whole movie! You’re such a rockstar, your mother would be SO proud of you. Such an amazing tribute to her legacy. ♥️♥️
Oh man. Max my heart breaks for you. I can't wait to watch and share and support this movie!
This is eye opening! Made me cry. What a courageous journey.
Happy to see this get the production it deserves. Lost 2 grandparents to dementia before I found any nuance in the idea of food quality or metabolic health, and my dad at 15 to atherosclerosis related surgical complications which, had he survived those on some other timeline, would’ve likely just allowed a few more years for presentation of early onset Alzheimer’s. In a docu landscape of “Game Changers” and other journalism-like-products, we could all use this.
Cant wait until this can be view Nationwide 😊
This made me cry. It's so painful watching the person you love slip away
My dad is 89 and has eaten a pretty unhealthy diet all of his life including lots of soda and sugar, candy, potato chips etc. His mind is still very sharp. My husband has eaten a pretty healthy diet, never smoked, very little alcohol, slim and fit all his life but at 62 he was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s the same as his father.
Congratulations on your movie, I’m excited to see it you are such an inspiration and can relate so much with you and your mom. Thank you for sharing your story and speak on the truth and knowledge
Based on the trailer ... looks like this has been worth the wait! Congrats Max!!
Thank you Max!
I can't wait to watch this! Your work is so important and Max and has inspired me so much ❤
This trailer broke my heart.
Super interested to see this. I hope it also includes the medical expenses side of it as well as the emotional.
Thank thank you for making this movie. I am excited to see the whole movie. I have all your books and I listen to all of your podcasts. My mother has dementia and it's terrible. She is angry every day. Great job Max. You teach us every day ❤️
What a loving son ❤. Can’t wait to see this film. Hope it comes to the UK xx
Life is a journey full of blessings, sometimes you thought you lost something but actually you gained more, sorry about your lost, she must be proud you, how brave to be vulnerable and step on this journey to seeking out truth and influence the society. Nice video and good efforts.
what a difference you make❤❤❤ Thank you ❤
Love all of your content and have learned so much. Thank you for providing balances and insightful information as my family and I are healthier. Age 60 and still workout 4x a week, tennis 3x a week and walk a minimum of 10,000 steps a day. My diet is pretty clean and focused on protein! Keep up the great work.
I hope it makes it way to Michigan I definitely want to watch. God bless you for your strength in documenting and sharing.
Great Job Max!Thanks
I'm so scared of this disease.
It's just so sad.
Diet aside… seeing those born in the silent generation who didn’t eat certain food suffer from this disease really has me in a state of questioning…
Very emotional, thank you 🙏🏻🌹✨🙏🏻
Best wishes for the movie and hope you could share your findings with all soon
Beautiful Max! Well done.
you seem like a good dude Max. Looks like your hearts in the right spot. Looks like a beautiful tribute to your mother. Congratulations invest to luck with the film and all.
My mom has dementia and it’s so hard. My aunt and grandmother both passed from different dementias.
Who else at the beginning of the trailer......"Good mornin' Julia!"
This is epic. So glad this is coming out to spread awareness on Alzheimer's as well as how diet & lifestyle plays a huge roll in avoiding this disease. My mom is also Cathi (different spelling) and is in the final final stages of this disease. Let's spread the word, Max! My docuseries will be out soon to continue this message!
- Brian Sanders
I look forward to seeing this, Max! It looks beautiful. My stepdad has early stages of dementia.
Awsome that you have done this work. Unfortunately it will be too far a travel going to US from Norway to watch the film. Will it be released online at some time?
great work, Max
I predict I will cry... numerous times.
Can’t wait to see this film 🎥 hope it comes to Washington DC soon , my mother has early dementia 😢
Bless you Max!!
Wow this looks powerful, Max!
Well done Max!
I'm not based in the US - will it be availabe to watch online? The Trailer is already very touching and I love your approach to real food.
Powerful.
Really want to see this movie!
Please can you tell us how/when it will be available to view in the UK? So looking forward to this 🙏
THANK U MAX ❤
Both my parents live in the UK my dad 88 my mum 84. Both their minds and memories are excellent, yet I have to say their diet is dreadful. My dad is the worst, hates fruit and vegetables, will only eat cabbage and peas for some reason. Cheese, chocolate, steak and whisky is how I would sum up his diet. He has never been to a gym or done any form of fitness routine in his life, yet his mind is as sharp as ever. How can this be explained? It must be genetics
Can’t wait to see this!
Great trailer/movie
I haven’t seen this but i can tell already that it should make you proud of what you do, KUDOS. ❤
