[1] Jarry noted that "Lugavere appears like a proponent of common-sense solutions to ill health—better nutrition, exercise and sleep—but it’s only when you start to trust him that he reveals himself to be a naive believer in anything that has a study behind it.

"[1] Lugavere is the co-director of Little Empty Boxes, a documentary released in April 2024 which chronicles his mother’s struggle with dementia and also explores fringe ideas about nutrition.

[4] The documentary features Mark Hyman, Nina Teicholz and Steven Gundry all of whom have been described as promoting "fad diets with dubious scientific backing" and the latter "unfounded theories against mRNA vaccines".

[4] The documentary argues that breakfast cereal, refined flour and sugar are mind killers and that plant-based diets deny necessary fats that the brain needs.

[4][9] Alex Rudolph of Movie Jawn commented that the documentary lacked empathy for Lugavere's mother and concluded "I felt like I had watched somebody use their loved one's death to sell supplements".
