Rich, you dont interrupt too much. You summarize information in a really great way. Sometimes your guests are all of the place with their message and you help refocus. I think you do this better than most podcasts hosts out there.

[@kyleleighton9726]

I would argue he is the best out there at this. Asks a question, listens intently without interrupting. Then repeats back his summarized understanding of the interviewee’s message.

@@ThomasWht13 it’s not actually censored, they say this to get you to buy their book. They (her or other novice book sellers) do this with all other genres of books in the different comment sections with bots saying their books are censored. Trust me anyone can sell literally any type of book online, especially Amazon. You think they read every book on there or care?

So proud

[@nafcizzle2095]

Five things i learnt 1.The brain generally is lazy, it tends to do what it has been trained to do hence the need to try and consinstently learn good habits. 2. Always ask yourself - good for your brain or bad for it ? Diet, habits etc 3.How you go about your day is important, Start off with telling yourself this is gonna be a great day, go on thru the day consciously, then at the end of the day, assess and focus more on what went well. Repeat. 4. Impulsivity and ADHD are real, and so is depression and addiction. Seek professional advice. 5. Its never too late to start healing your brain through a healthy lifestyle. Improvements can occur even within 3 weeks of consistency.

Who wants to see Rich's brain? I do! Such a great episode. As someone with [very] limited resources [at the moment] I am so grateful for a generous podcast like this [thank you both!]. I love that you give advice that even I can apply to my life right now. [I'm a 58 yo woman. A little late to the party but I'm showing up now. Every. Single. Day.] Someday I'd love to have a scan but right now I can make changes and am doing so. I 'changed my mind' [truly didn't believe or know that i could] recently and appreciate the generosity of people like the two of you who have been helpful guides for me while I navigate out of very stark darkness. I am eternally grateful!

[@LifeIsWonderful675]

Can l ask what you are applying that has helped you

[@tralasong]

@@LifeIsWonderful675Certainly. It feels like a big question to a noob like me. But first off the simple plain truth that the brain and the mind are 2 different things opened me up to a whole different way of approaching my own life. If I eat and consume and move for the benefit of my Physical Brain Organ - it will have a direct impact on depression and hyper sensitivity and [a myriad of emotional and mental challenges I've experienced over my life]. It's so obvious to me now - I'm embarrassed even to type that. Just THAT doorway has changed my life over the last couple of months. I will watch a video like this one with my journal in front of me. I pause it and write down anything that resonates with me [or hits a nerve!] and then examine it. It can take twice as long to get through the video but the act of it, I feel, is helping me find deeper meaning for myself. Like I said I'm a noob at this. But these are fundamental differences and they have created some waves I'm very happy to be working on and through and riding. I hope this answers your question. I feel it's only a partial answer...

[@LifeIsWonderful675]

@@tralasong Thank you for at least making the effort to answer my question. I am hoping one of these Drs might do the same. I never shared much about my Brain Injury from 2005 as I never knew where to start. It has only been since the Drs wanted to start me on drugs again in 2022 that I started my research. I stopped the drugs in 2012 as the s/e were horrendous & some drugs made the seizures worse. I started my own research in June 22 into the keto diet thinking it was only used for children.

[@yvonnel7777]

Love you both! Please make it more affordable to get a brain scan. It’s over $5K to have a brain scan from his office. How are we helping ppl if we make it so difficult to be proactive?? Seems like only ppl with money are able to get the best of the best in our insane diseased filled society. No disrespect, but commenting in hopes we can change this. 🙏🏻

I have asked exactly what this Dr does? How does he access the scan. I have been researching help for seizures started through a TBI in 2005. I have not had any reply as yet. Could be all about the $$$

Extremely reasonable question. A lot of self help folks do this. Tell us what years of research has shown, then take advantage of the knowledge and make it completely unaffordable for almost everybody. Not trying to be negative but it's just what they do.

[@yvonnel7777]

@@teruahtekiah5922 💯! It’s like you find hope with the new research only to be let down when it costs so much. Quite sad.

[@kcainsmith2]

I had a SPECT scan in 2022. It cost about 5k, but the results changed my life. A doctor from the clinic interpreted the results, then coached me on what changes to make during several follow-up sessions (included with that initial cost). I’m still doing the work: stopped drinking, got off damaging prescriptions, go to therapy, work out, take supplements and go to hyperbaric oxygen treatments. If they hadn’t seen the areas of concern, I’d be on the road to dementia. Dr. Amen rocks. It was worth the investment.

[@BruderAdrian]

Rich you're so cool and you're a personal role model for me. Thanks for your openness about your ADHD & previous addiction problems. I also have ADHD & it's hard to relate to with other men as they're almost always very closed off and walled up but you're so honest & true. I admire that.

[@lucianowillemse8244]

The techniques and equipment he uses for diagnostics (SPECT) have been scrutinized by other professionals. It's not my field of expertise so I can't comment on that. I, however, have tried his treatment advice with regards to specific subtypes of ADHD, and it actually worked. I don't tolerate any form of stimulants whether it is caffeine, methylphenidate, amphetamine, nicotine etc. at all. The ADD drugs did squat to help me out it just gave me more problems. Then I read what Dr Daniel Amen had to say about the different form of ADHD from his experience. Let's just say that I'll be finished with my PhD in Biochemistry degree by the end of this year and I'm in the best mental, emotional, physical and spiritual state I've been in my life...Without any pharmaceutical drugs! This man deserves credit where it is due.

That's great to hear. What supplements and methods you actually adopted if I can ask?

I meditate daily and also do therapy about once a month .I eat a predominantly plant-based diet (95%) but I do consume about two servings or so of seafood and eggs (lean meats once in a while). I supplement with fish oil (2.4g) , l-tyrosine, alpha-GPC, l-tryptophan and herbal extracts like ashwaghanda, rhodiola rosea, bacopa monnieri and ginko biloba.

I took my son was diagnosed with bipolar and schizophrenia to him 7 or 8 years ago. Because he was vet he got a discount and it was the first time after all the years and many meds that I realized there was not only addiction issues, but possible traumatic head injury from all the years of wrestling and gymnastics. I would show these images to his psych doctors and they just didn't get it or really care. It was 5 years of struggling and working as a family to get him sober and back to us after being homeless and on his own. He is doing so much better! Of course still on 4 meds which I am trying my hardest to get his nutrition under control to eliminate some. I am hopeful that we can come back to Amen Clinic and see his improvement which I think would be even more of a motivator.

I also did fasting in my diet fasting is the best thing for cancer brain damage anything mental illness physical health problems so look into fasting also and also take ur supplements magnesium vitamin d vitamin b complex and vitamin c especially for cell damage 🙏 u got to research I did my research I didn’t know any of these things docs didn’t tell me my parents were educated they were born from a third world country no education doctors will kill u with meds u can beat all these debases with diet and also fasting and avoided certain foods and junk

Well I've had my brain scanned a number of times as I needed nine hours of brain surgery in 2017 to remove a tumour. The tumour in my left frontal lobe led to significant changes in my personality - I was pretty crazily sexually promiscuous, with comprised sense of boundaries and very impulsive, and had periods tearful and feeling suicidal. I had no idea it was brain tumour related until I had an epileptic fit on the bus on the way to work! I have a far calmer mind and lifestyle now! It is a scary realisation that you're not in control of your thoughts , emotions and behaviour when the brain is compromised. I'm mega careful lifestyle wise now to be as health conscious as possible - vegan whole food diet, meditation, and regular exercise (strength, cardio and flexibility) and minimal alcohol. Dr Amen talks a lot of sense!

Once again, in order to get a good analysis and begin to heal, we have to have a lot of money for all the psychiatric help, blood tests, body imaging, & brain scans. Whose insurance (if you can afford it) will allow this? It's mostly out of pocket so everyday ppl are classed- out of getting help.

[@minhcao1838]

I agree with you to get a good analysis you need money for this scan. But I disagree if you think you need it to begin to heal. It’s a red flag if you need a $4k scan and result to tell you that your lifestyle isn’t a good one. There are plenty of different ways you can begin to heal, but for many it will be hard to stick to. Will the results come slow, yes. Is it boring, yes. Is it exciting, no. Will you face doubt, yes. You will question yourself 1000 times along the way and we need to stick to it. Have some grace.

Initially, I was quite fascinated by Dr. Amen, his studies, his research, and his amazing knowledge of the human brain. But as I began to read more about his work and his clientele, it became obvious that his compassion for his work is centered around making gobs of money. All of his clientele are wealthy.

This is fascinating! I’m almost 67 and had couple of concussions, the first one I was younger & the 2nd one a mild TBI, did not loss consciousness but I forgot so many things and people’s names including my bf and I did not recognize him, gpt depressed. My neurologists told me that it will take a very long time to recover. They told me not to read, take exams, etc. I defied them with that but I took the medications & did the cognitive therapy but I also change my lifestyles, took supplements esp for my brain. I passed the my certification exam in wellness practitioner, read a lot & went back to work in less than 1 yr.. Now, I feel way better, happier, healthier & smarter than when I was 25 or 35. I am graduating from my second master’s degree, volunteer, work and travel. So, I believe that with lifestyle changes-diet, physical activity, social connectivity, forgiveness, gratefulness, etc.

Super informative and inspiring information from Dr. Amen. Thank you both.

[@lifebytadlock]

I got my brain scanned there 5 years ago and also did a follow up visit recently. The scans are insightful but it is also not an exact science and what they suggest after the scans is very much trial and error and not really at all scientific. They work based on your symptoms and how you respond in your experience to the supplements or meds and then adjustments are made. Exactly what psychiatrists do, It is all very subjective. I am not sure they have any real data or can exactly know how their clients doing. It is in the right direction though that the field should go to actually study the brain but at the end of the day it's all very complex and the supplements are all coming and going. They also suggest people do functional medicine and are big on mold and heavy metals tests etc and that is another field that is really all so new and could be easy to be misguided. I noticed recently the supplements they suggested are totally new and different in my case for 5 years ago so it's very much an evolving thing. I do not like the diets they recommend for that I prefer the Sharzai team and sticking with an oil free whole food plant based diet for heart health is also the #1 thing one can do for the brain. It's all about blood flow. My case they told me I had healed the bipolar that I thought I had for decades by doing good food, meditation and lifestyle. And my brain showed more ADHD and some anxiety. That was very eye opening for me and totally different focus but at the end of the day is really true? Perhaps not but it's a direction to focus on. Amen mentioned J Bieber...that they determined he is not bipolar now. That could be inaccurate and I think there is some risk in making diagnosis and changing diagnosis off of theories about brain scans. Hope that helps...get the scan but shop around to decide how to deal with it.

English is not my first language, but tell me if I am mistaken; did you mean you needed an oil free plant based diet? Or you needed one that contained fat and other nutrients? It is actually very important for brain function and for some vitamins to be dissolved and absorbed into your body and as a result help your hormone function and mental stability to have healthy fats that come from animal fats, olive oil etc so please accept my humble advice and consider having healthy fats and proteins in your diet.

[@lifebytadlock]

@@juventina yes oil free whole food plant based dose with plenty of nuts seeds avocado with fat calories in 10-20% range is what helps me. Plenty of fat even in green vegetables which is after all where most animals get it that people consume. Best DHA is from greens.

[@lifebytadlock]

@@juventina dr Neal Bernard’s book on hormones addresses this fallacy about fats and hormones and talks about ideal caloric ratio in 10-20% range reverses most chronic health issues; heart disease and type 2 diabetes for example in about 10-20 days.

What’s the best scan to get?

Thank you so much for this video! I’m a teacher, mother and wife. My child is on two different sports and I feel like I’m always on survival mode. Sometimes our meals have to be take outs and I put my own exercise on hold for her to get to where she needs to go. It would be so interesting to see how my brain would look like, or any teacher in general. Again thank you so much for this information.

[@yellowmama89]

I absolutely loved this podcast topic. I learned of Dr Amen today on another podcast. Then I found this more in depth longer dialogue. I'm so grateful from beginning to end the content has deeply encouraged me.

[@carolackerman1201]

Thank you for this. It is golden information ad I sincerely hope all medical professionals are exposed to this.

[@gerardmartinez2814]

Rich, excellent episode thank you

[@johns294]

Rich that was a great question when you referred to not knowing if you could “catch up “ from all the damage you did in your earlier life……🤙👊

[@leahculberson3665]

Rich - you are awesome! Do a brain scan and then another episode to reveal and evaluate it.

[@linda.leomoon]

Excellent podcast! Very insightful and I learned so much. Thank you! 🙏

[@Punkrock.Chrysalis19]

I NEED TO TALK TO THIS MAN! I’m suffering from BEHAVIORAL SYMPTOMS NOT LACK OF HONOR OR MOTIVATION OR STRENGTH. Wow… and this is so clear to me after watching this. I have to find a way to see this man! Anyone know a way I can write to him?! I guarantee he’d be interested in using my story as a reference for his brilliance!

[@Littleartcottage]

Fascinating. Thank you!

[@4086eduardo]

Typing this not to pick on people but rather to tell you is possible. I suffered from panic attacks for some time but I conquered them and haven't had one in 2 years and I also hated life, I don't doubt that some people have it worse and there is something else that is causing them, like brain damage or something, but for me what worked was the following: changed my diet to a healthy diet, myself talk is positive, I practice gratefulness, box breathing, I have a sleeping routine, I only drink alcohol about once per month, exercise, read every day and practice meditation. Now this might sound like a lot but the alternative is a miserable life so you pick yours.

Finally Daniel on your podcast!!! 😍

' I'm managing my mind rather than it's managing itself ' - Dr Amen Much Food for Thought!

[@peacefulisland67]

For the last near decade I've been working on the idea that dementia is akin to self-fulfilling prophesy. The vast majority of us have long unattended personal and generational trauma, each one layering upon the last. Socially and often culturally, we're taught to get over it, move on and are shamed or abandoned if we don't. Our WHOLE LIVES are a practice of avoidance and being submerged in environments that support it. We are distracted into fantasy, nonreality, and then are surprised when we see that our brains have adapted to the training. We ask for escape from suffering by any means. Be careful what you ask for? No matter how bad the present is, turning away from it brings more suffering for ourselves and GENERATIONS TO COME. Feed the brain any story, and it will eventually become reality.

[@cbsmiles]

Excellent

[@Phoenix_Arise_J]

You have beautifully written and summed up accurate information by psychology research I am well aware of. Good for you and thanks 🙏🏻

[@Motivation_G917]

I really love and appreciate rich, he doesn't interrupt too much. I enjoyed this interview and I learned alot in this interview

[@dawnagno9750]

I love this Dr. And i believe he is right.

[@jobethrozelle7492]

I fell off the top of football stadium at the age of 3. They say I landed on my feet. Never finish anything much...now I know It did affect me. Thank you Dr. Amen

[@Mariana-ud7dw]

Amazing podcast! I'm listening to this at 4am trying to get back to sleep, and am so impressed, that I've deliberately woken myself to full alertness to comment on it. 🔥

[@ericbeck6390]

This was just fantastic - so thankful i came across it. Subscribed!

[@peacefulisland67]

Rich, it's so frustrating for me to hear anyone say, "Don't be scared." Don't be this or that, feel this or that. It is not wrong to be scared. You already know from years of experience to feel what you feel wholly, accept it, and THEN follow through with your actions, whatever they may be, by way of meditation, prayer, counsel, education, or straight up time. One of my least favorite things to have any one say to me is, "This is easy." when teaching me something new and I'm stressed. Appreciating our system's responses instead of overriding or diminishing them saves us more suffering in the long run. Good luck, whatever that is.

[@k.ss.s4946]

thank u for sharing this am sure it helped a ton of people and so far i haven't seen anyone else talk about it which leads me to believe it's because "a healthy person means no profit for the medical industry"
