Why Brain Health Matters (With Dr. Daniel Amen) | The Leader's Cut w/ Preston Morrison

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind…”
We tend to focus on the first two, but what about the third? Our brain drives everything we think, say, or do - how well do YOU know your brain?
Preston sits down with Dr. Daniel Amen, a pioneer in the field of brain health and psychiatry to discuss why understanding your brain is crucial for personal growth, mental health, and our spiritual well-being. Dr. Amen shares insights into the five brain types, the intersection of faith and science, practical strategies to enhance your brain health and what could actually happen if we all started talking our brain health seriously.

This is my first time hearing any of this and I'm BLOWN AWAY!! I'm about to go on a DEEP DIVE!! Thank you for opening my eyes to this Preston!! I've been in a fog for so long and I really think this is going to be the page turner for my transition! Bless Ya'll!!

[@nuoteda]

So Preston is officially my favorite person in the world! I have listened to Dr Amen for two years now and seeing him on the Leaders cut is the best thing ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you!🙏🏼

[@lifeofannbianca]

I feel like I just discovered a treasure jar. I’m about to get lost studying everything brain starting with the test on what brain type I have to the books he’s written. Thank you Preston for bringing this man to our knowledge. I had no idea about anything.

[@bridgetbusby2022]

Oh my WORD!! Preston, near the end you totally brought up the single mom...I broke down! I have been struggling and continually concerned about the best way to not only shepherd my son's heart, but also to help him flourish mentally. He has a high IQ and ADHD and I'm a bit older than most moms to a 12 year old (I'm almost 52). We live in an extremely rural area so there is very little around for him to connect and do with other kids. He also had some very difficult things that happened while he was attending the only local school here so I made the very difficult decision to enroll him in virtual school last year - he did great but it was SO challenging for me, as his mom. I know this is probably a typical thought of most parents, but I'm so afraid that I'm not doing the best things for him and that it can affect him in negative ways. I would love to have a brain scan AND for him to have a brain scan so we could see the health of both our brains and have a plan to specifically put in place to increase our brain health, but I don't see that as an option at all for us. Thank you for asking that question - I intend to take the brain health assessment and get Dr. Amen's books. This was so enlightening and encouraging!! May God bless you and may God bless Dr. Amen for his work and his heart for the health of others!!

Praying Daddy GOD help you with all you are believing him in you and your sons life 🙏🏽

[@BlueZ808]

So so so good. Anything science and Jesus related... I'm watching!!

[@kellilarson3372]

I love Dr Amen’s work! My husband has had brain injuries from football and we’ve done scans through his clinic as well. Two amazingly helpful men in the kingdom of God conversing, and I can’t wait to listen to this!

[@Cclearly9]

This collaboration was much needed. Mental health in the faith is rarely addressed if ever. I hope this opens the door for more communication in this area.

[@alicia_nicole444]

I have to do a research project for my capstone class and could this be it…mental health in faith?

[@Cclearly9]

@@alicia_nicole444 Absolutely! Especially in the case of pathophysiology being the cause for certain behaviors.

[@sethramser4507]

So happy you had Dr. Amen on. He's been instrumental in my mental health journey, and hearing how faith fits into his approach, something he doesn't normally do, is truly incredible.

[@user-uj7hp8kf4d]

I had followed Dr Amen for a while Now, I read His book “the brain is always listening” and it changed my life… that was a long time ago when I decided to get rid of alcohol and this was an answered prayer

[@quintonque1040]

I would like to listen to this over again because it is mind opening and life changing. Using our mind and understanding it is very important.

[@abigailcolon8486]

This may seem like a dumb question but how is it possible to get a brain scan in this health care system? Cause I feel doctor would want a reason for that. I always wanted one. I am so in love with when people don’t try to separate science from God. It makes me so happy that I cried.

[@karenboyd942]

Wow as a nurse this is so good. I had never heard of Dr Amen.. So good

[@carolberg2443]

Wow, spending time with Dr. Amen in person was wonderful to watch. Thankful it was part of the leaders cut. Dr. Amen’s work is phenomenal.

[@prestonmorrison4094]

I completely agree. He may not have preferred me saying he’s a genius 🤣 but his books and his work are absolutely incredible.

Now I know why I rather have fish 🐟 versus chicken 🐔 😆. Big 3!

What?! lol, I should not even be surprised anymore. THIS!

[@apiffanyfulcher6628]

Dr. Amen I would love one day to meet with you and talk about similar issues that you said on the podcast thank you!!!

[@fefefitzgerald4907]

The respect I have for both guys!!!😭🙌🏽 I almost tripped over myself when I seen this video and watched right away!

[@Dr.lynnmarker6364]

Thank you, Dr. Daniel Amen and Pastor Preston. Mental Health Sickness/ Disease needs to be understood by many of us, so we are educated on how to handle any given situation thrown at us. I know my son suffered mentally from confusion which later led to addiction! He was tormented and not balanced in his mindset, or his emotional status! He was in denial and believed he was doing ok! Not the final outcome in his situation! Childhood trauma when not dealt with in early childhood stages creates so many issues when older! One lesson is to listen with your heart showing others you really care. A compassionate way of demonstrating Love to those who are hurting deep inside allows them to be themselves and without judgment is very impactful to a person's life. Trigger points can cause so many unwanted behaviours, causing tragic consequences! Mental sickness is a sickness itself, a serious matter when not dealt with correctly. Overall, great teaching! Thank you. 🙏

[@J-Nelll]

Did not know this guy was a believer!! Way cool

[@lcm4him]

Love Doc Amen and Preston, too! ❤ This will be good!

[@maryloo07]

This episode is absolutely mind-blowing! Very interesting to learn about mental health vs. brain health. I feel I need a brain scan now. I loved the advice about the “mother tiny habit, is it good for my brain or bad for it?” Wowww very eye-opening! Thank you Dr. Amen and Preston for this valuable information.

[@stephaniealvessantos9332]

I cannot wait to listen to this podcast! I love these two. Now they’re having a conversation???? Cmon!!!!!

[@austinwilkerson9640]

Awesome dialogue! I wonder if Dr. Amen has heard about new brain transplant surgery. Ive seen face transplants but brain transplants seem creepy!

So informative. Thanks for being the maverick ❤️🙏🏽❤️

[@apiffanyfulcher6628]

I love Dr Amen!!!!!!!

[@lcm4him]

I wonder if Dr. Amen has studies on men and women who are incarcerated? And how their brain development differs from others? The causes and effects. 🤔

[@gracejoo1298]

If I recall correctly, I believe he did scans on incarcerated folks, but don’t quote me on that haha

[@aydensjourney]

🙌🏽♥️

[@terrywalters5410]

How much does it cost to scan my brain? Where do I go near Atlanta Georgia?
