11 Risk Factors That Destroy Your Brain | Dr. Daniel Amen on Health Theory

[@ivvie1452]

My mental health is at its worst right now and my body isn't much better either. So, I am sitting here, taking notes of everything Dr. Amen said because I'm only 24 and I have so much time left to live. I want to live a good life and I'm determined to make that happen. Starting with improving my mental and physical health.

[@snarlsbarkley5083]

Hang in there. The twenties are difficult but you will learn a lot about yourself and gain confidence. Growing up takes a long time. I had terrible anxiety and felt miserable for all of my twenties but things eventually got better. I’m 59 now and it’s all a distant memory now. Life gets better in your 30’s for most people.

Fish, he recommends fish for your fats? yikes! The undisputed best food for your brain is and always shall be. HEMP SEED: THE MOST NUTRITIONALLY COMPLETE FOOD SOURCE IN THE WORLD. All of your Omega 3's 6's, and 9's in the proper proportion for for the human body, and since your brain is fat, and thoughts are electricity, it's a good idea to get the best fat with the highest pi electron cloud. In addition Dr. Neil Bernard has many great talks into the Chicago study on cognitive decline and diet, conducted by Harvard and Rush. The conclusion was cheese was causing the b-amyloid plaques in the brain that led to a 30 x increase risk of alzheimer's. Additionally in the study people who ate meats obviously had massive heart problems, and greatly lowered life expectancy. Kind of the same conclusion the China Study came to about meat and dairy being the primary triggers to cancers. As far as his cannabis research, it's quite laughable, at one point he uses as an example the brain of a man that has been smoking cannabis, pointing to that as the main cause of his brain degeneration, and then less than a minute later he speaks of the dangers of pesticides in foods, but never comes to the realization of the coloration that the great majority of the cannabis people have been smoking for the last 60 years is heavily contaminated with pesticides, fertilizers, and antifungals. Something that is clearly shown in many studies to lead to neurological problems. Less of a scientific method and controlled tests being employed, and more of a correlation causation fallacy in logic.

[@nicorompos1768]

Professor Science that’s not entirely true! The omega 3‘s in hemp aren’t epa and dha. It only contains ALA, which is a precursor of dha and epa. It needs to be converted in dha and epa, which the body has its difficulty with. Approx 10 percent at max can be converted into epa and 1 percent into dha. Those are the omega 3 fatty acids which have all the health benefits! Epa for inflammation and dha for cognitive functions and vision.

[@professorscience6590]

Don't agree about the video game part, I think that depends entirely on what kind you are playing, some have been shown to have cognitive benefits and in fact grow new brain cells.

[@TheNordicHunter]

anab0lic Yeah, I’m not completely on board with not playing video games. I think it needs to be broken down to time spent and what’s being played. If a child or adult is consuming their whole day play games, then yes it affects their body physically and they miss out in vitamin D so it also affects their brain. But if one plays brain challenging games that make you think constantly and limit that time so they get out for a walk or go socialize, then how is it any worse than doing a crossword puzzle or reading for hours? If it’s a mindless game that just requires tapping, then it’s a waste of time and is slowly deteriorating the body and brain and fueling depression, anxiety, and obesity.

[@Eimantasks]

It does help with motor functions, hand eye coordination, temporary memory, reaction times, but at the same time it overstimulates reward centers, producing too much dopamine, which in turn reduces receptors in brain for Dopamine. Which makes you unmotivated, bored, in some cases depressed. It overstimulates sensory brain centers, exhausting nervous system possibly causing stress, tension, ticks. What about loosing gray matter in prefrontal cortex? Same as loosing gray mater in hippocampus while gaining gray matter in the stratus... you get some benefits while harming other parts. It's not really a rocket science, it's enough to go and google, read through research. But what is interesting that not all research talka bout it, some acknowledge the damage others go silent about it. Some research is done and sponsored by gaming industry so.... make whatever you want of it. What I am saying, Justifying games is tempting... they are fun/engaging. one of most popular relaxation and fun sources, but the fact is that our brain is ancient and we don't yet understand fully how it affects us, and not all brains are similar, some are more sensitive to that stimulation others can deal with it better, but it was proven to be dangerous in some cases.

My daughter developed severe anxiety after her divorce, she came to live with her mother and me (her) dad, she had a type of agorophobia and lived on the couch, I shared a tool with her that had set me free of a similar problem when I was in highschool. This is the discussion: Anxiety is an emotion that modulates "care, protection" for one's life, if it has stuck wide open for some reason you have to realize it is up to you to tone it down, it is in effect trying to over-protect you and often shuts you down mentally and sometimes physically, example; she could not drive out of our housing area onto the main highway due to insecure thoughts, that meant her mind was keeping her home, keeping her safe, once she realized what was transpiring she gradually worked through her fears and used that perspective to free her complete life, she actually took a trip a year later to Nepal, liked the culture and volunteered her services helping earth quake victums for almost a year. ( as a mechanic I never use a tool too big for the job). Anxiety is a tool used by the mind to accommodate you not to lock you down. Be thankful to your God for the kindness He has shown you and your loved ones every day, say it verbally to Him, He loves the fruit of your lips, your Praises to Him.

Tips for a healthy brain : Use it or lose it Improve your mental fitness by regularly reading, learning, or doing activities that make you think, such as crossword puzzles. All of these help stimulate your nerve cells, and may even lead to the development of new brain cells. Protect your head Always wear a helmet when playing contact sports. Be sure to buckle up when you get in the car. Both of these can go a long way when it comes to avoiding brain injuries. Exercise Doing regular cardio workouts stimulates blood flow throughout your body, including your brain. Quit smoking While smoking is bad for your overall health, it can also lead to cognitive decline. Listen to your thoughts Try to check in from time to time with your thoughts or feelings. Keeping a diary is a good way to get into this habit. Look for any thought patterns or emotions that seem to be impacting your day-to-day life.

His clinics are a complete scam. The clinics charge $5k for the whole process, but I read that this process leaves a lot to be desired. I read review after review of people who got scammed, and then I read that his approach is not even peer-reviewed. Such a disappointment. 😞

[@HOUSEOFIDAN]

We love your videos! Every single one of them 🙏🏽 they inspire us so much thank you!

[@sissikariely]

Tom, I absolutely LOVE your content. All these interviews had helped me so much that I wanna share it with everyone I know. But I'm from Brazil, and most of people I know can't understand a full video in English, so if you could enable the "automatic translation" whenever you publish would be so awesome! Thanks for everything, Impact/Healthy Theory is changing my life.

Why isn't he giving credit to Byron Katie who invented this 4 question method decades ago? Even the wording is the same.

Great interview!!! Can’t imagine how this has even 1 thumb down. Must be brain damaged individuals that can’t handle truth. Thank you, Tom & Dr Amen! Keep up the amazing work you both do!!!

[@FirstnameLastname-zk9wf]

People need to stop normalizing self-abuse. Staying up late, eating anything, etc, as an expression of masculinity or tenacity or anything else, needs to get shut down.

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

Why isn’t Amen crediting Byron Katie with this questioning method?? He’s annoying and overrated and good at stealing other peoples’ ideas.

[@katireijonen]

Why does this interview feel shallow? Amen doesn´t credit Byron Katie whose The Work he clearly refers to and his tips for happiness are...um...kind of lame. Its like he has no authentic substance. Is he only doing this to market his books and supplements? Am I the only one who gets a bit suspicious with this doc?

[@novaricos]

a comment from above: "To be fair: those questions are not original to Dr. Amen nor Byron Katie. These kinds of questions originate from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy methodology. Neither Dr Amen nor Byron Katie can claim ownership."

theres NO refuge anywhere in the world from processed foods and sugar. ( where theres also civilization) I cant tell you how many times i dreamed of an island where people could go for free ( because most people most in need of a toxic food detox are poor) where people would detox from food

[@naznow]

How does Dr. Amen feel about vaccines potentially harming the brain? Many vaccines contain aluminum as an adjuvant and that seems particularly risky especially since it can pass the blood brain barrier.

[@calenit52]

Great that he is mentioning Katie Byron's technique. I like it how these people are implementing each others' techniques that work.

[@SelahSpirit]

Hm-m-m ... Is it true? Did he actually implement The Work of Byron Katie?

[@eileenc4436]

@@SelahSpirit these are the exact five questions Byron Katie teaches and in the same order, so I would say yes. Good to hear it from someone clinical, though, since many people need to hear things from multiple POV before they can integrate it. Perhaps the same inspiration wave that came to her approached him as well.

Hey TOm, Just wanted to say a quick thank you to you and your team, you´re really changing the lives of people all around the world. For example I´m flying to Munich today, from a small airport in northern Germany and at the table right next to me sits a person who is watching the Wim Hof Video. That was the moment I realized how many people actually watch Impact theory and how many people you have helped and still help develop a better mindset. I think I can speak for most of the people that watch your Videos from Europe, especially from Germany: Thank you very, very much.

[@yhachpham7291]

The sight of this man always put a smile on my face. There are so many changes in my life that I owe to Dr. Amen that I can hardly list them all here, but they all made me a happier and healthier person today. It was a long journey but I am truly glad doc was there to show me the way.

[@HolyMotherofGrid]

Great interview!! Many thanks for bringing it to us. I'm particularly interested in the role of the cerebellum in day to day life and overall brain health - that's simply NOT a topic you see very much of in programs and general approaches to overall mental health!! Kudos to Dr. Daniel for pointing out some very common-sense facts such as avoid a diet too low in healthy fats (such as found in fatty fish, for example), and the dangers to brain health of high blood sugar and being sedentary.... also, bravo for saying out loud what many have suspected: "The more screen time, the smaller the brain." - and I would chime in, the less creativity. I also like that he points out that "weed" is NOT a healthy herb as is the fad to claim these days, but that it still shouldn't be villainized and made strictly illegal. I like the cut of this man's jib!! He makes a lot of sense overall. If I had a caveat or beef to make about his "program" is that it under-plays the SOCIAL aspect of overall health: we live in a society that is increasingly isolated, for both younger AND older people. We are primarily a social species: we need the company of others, we need at least one good friend to share our lives with: someone we don't have to impress or keep secrets from. We need TOUCH also - the average person in our society is touch-starved: reassuring, normal touching is a BIG component of most "primitive" societies, yet for all the wrong reasons we tend to avoid even such civilized things as friendly hugs.

[@kirankeshvala7563]

Dear Tom, I listen to Impact Theory Podcast every week. I enjoy the conversations and the information I gain on things that are useful in my every day life. Right now I am studying neuroscience with psychology therefore I thought the above video maybe useful, however there is no structure to this conversation. It's hard to follow what you both are talking about, you are for sure asking the right questions but we are not getting the right answers. So what are the 11 risk factors that destroys your brain?

[@baronmeduse]

Agreed. I don't even know how they enumerated these 'factors'. The interviewee seems to me to be a chancer repeating basic ideas and largely promoting his expensive scanning practise. Wow, who'd have thought contact sports would have a negative impact! Well, most doctors, so not particularly new information. The sugar discussion is just a surface reference to John Yudkin's book: 'Pure, White & Deadly'. Wonder why he talked about magnesium and GABA as being so marvellous for depression? Couldn't possibly be because he sells expensive versions of thsese supplements could it...? Con man.

[@NintCondition]

“I’m not going to be in love with something that hurts me” It’s true, but I’m in love with MMA and Thaiboxing. Training everyday I’ve had 1 very mild concussion and just from that i feel the small effects today. I’m 15. But I love it, it’s my drug. Can’t live without it. It’s not the best for your brain long-term but I’m willing to take the gamble because I love it so much. After my concussion I taught myself to train and compete SMART. You CAN do contact sports IF you are smart. I train every single day and I’m not gonna stop until my body or something else stops me. Just started taking omega-3 and I’m hoping it’s gonna get rid of my small headaches I have now and then. With good intentions/ A.B

[@dhuss14]

Also do Mt and I love fighting, for over a year been doing some serious research on the brain and realised these are best for your brain: fasting, fatty foods nuts/seeds, meats, fish, avocado, supplements, eggs Good low glycemic carbs :root vegetables, oats, barley, wild rice, fruits, vegetables, maca root Proteins: lean meat, eggs, spirulina, nuts, seeds, clean protein powder (preferably plant like hemp, peas protein, NOT SOY) Eat diet to increase hormones such as GH, Testosterone and lower estrogen(avoid soy, flax, inflammatory oils, stress, alcohol, SUGAR) I wanna try : hyperbaric oxygen therapy, research that its great. Good brain foods are obviously Fats carbs proteins, but also things like lions mane mushroom, chaga mushrooms, spirulina, hbot, high antioxidants food such as berries, dark chocolate, cacoa, black seed oil, shilajit Increase blood flow with hiit training, heat therapy, certain foods like ginger, watermelon, cloves Anti inflammation : no sugar, turmeric with black pepper in hot water, green tea, omega 3 in fish nuts seeds etc There's probably more but truly focus on these things, eat healthy, exercise, and do these techniques

[@UncompressedWAVmusic]

I 've always been inquisative & contemplative by nature: all of my life......and l was aware of small & large things....stuff that other people never seemingly thought about. I've been aware l am natural "belly breather" all my life....l am now 66 years old. I think l became aware of it (my natural life-long "belly breathing" when l was in 2nd grade...and l noticed my ribcage seemed larger by comparison to other kids. I wondered about it a bit when l was young.....but belly breathing was ALWAYS my natural breathing. I've also been an RN/heathcare provider all my adult life. I believe my life-long "natural belly breathing" has been part of my overall fitness.....and the constant use of abdominal muscles for moving air has resulted in natural muscle tone.... almost like a "mini sit- up: with every breath....without even thinking about it....keeps my abdominal muscles naturally fit, flat & toned. I do sometimes gain & lose some weight: but never gain abdominal fat internally.....abdomilalfat tends to not become intrinsic/internal (where it would be far less healthy to internal metabolism & organs). My family also has very good longevity (several haved lived to be over 100 to 105 years). I belive an active lfestyle & doing activities naturally instead of always by "machinery" is paort of the enjoyment of life that keeps us mentally & physically fit. Being "one with our nature" is tremendously important. BTW.....I LOOK DECADES YOUNGER THAN MY YEARS....NATURALY... FROM GOOD HABITS. Just some thoughts: from my decades of "thoughts & noticing" I played brass instruments as a youngster....and noticed that my natural belly-breathing was a big asset in plaing trombone: l was able to push air and hold long/loud notes easier thn other kids. When l was in adolescence l played tennis....and later on l became an endurance cyclist for decades. Now in recent years

[@markus717]

TABLE TENNIS is complex, challenging sport played at lightning speed & incredible ball spins & which very few Americans have ever seen played at a high level. It's NOT PING PONG (even though the table & ball are the same), which is played with very cheap equipment at a very low level by children & adults in their basements. How can you look at someone playing and tell if they're a table tennis or a ping pong player? Here's a tip: if their feet are moving constantly and they're putting their whole body into the shots: that's table tennis! If their feet are planted in one spot and they're slashing at the ball with only arm movement, that's ping pong... that's OK but it won't get you the massive brain improvements Dr. Amen is talking about.

23:52 - 24:19 This is 100% what happens to me. Injuries can be so debilitating because I tend to choose higher sugar-containing foods specifically for the "feel good chemicals". This tends to inhibit proper healing of the injury as it just promotes more inflammation in the body. Then there is the struggle of having to fight and kick the sugar cravings again too.

I have a friend who pretty much hardly ever eat. He's a beer alcoholic. He's in his late 40's and his mind is very sharp. I wonder if it's because he hates anything sweet, eat pretty much only meat whenever he eats and when he eat it's only once a day.
