I will be listening to this several times !!! I wish I could afford a SPECT scan… I’ve wanted one since I learned about them and dr Amen almost 20 years ago.
Dr. Amen was my son’s doctor in Fairfield, CA! He helped my child get off ADHD meds, got him through high school, college…he now has a 22 year successful marriage with 3 beautiful children. I can never thank him enough!! ❤

I am too depressed to summon the necessary energy it would take me to express how much I enjoyed this podcast and the extent to which it resonated with me. It gave me the energy to get up from bed to brush my teeth which didn't happen in two weeks. Dr.Amen is a wizard and you're an excellent interviewer. You've asked every question that I was itching to hear the answer to. Thank you.
Clearly you had the strength…but for some reason, it took something OUTSIDE of you to take action. Perhaps your thinking is what needs to change. Joe Dispenza is another podcast you might enjoy.
It was you who made you get up. And it's been always you. Whatever happens, happens to you by you, through you; you are the creator, enjoyer and destroyer of all you perceive.
Take 15,000 iu Vit D3 daily plus K2 and magnesium .. your depression should fade dramatically .. also B vitamins .. eat liver ( contains all b vits) or nutritional yeast (1tablespoon daily)
Some parents really dont understand how powerful their support and encouragement are to their offspring. Love this episode so much. Definitely one the top of my favorites
"give them the gift of forgiveness, commit to it and hold on to it. and if you can do that for that relationship, you have more control over your happiness" that made me cry a little. such a beautiful massage.
I struggle with chronic stress and depression and don't have the resources to get the help I need- I am so so absolutely grateful for these episodes as they point me in the direction of what working methods are available to me at lower costs. Thank you.
There's a wonderful book called "The Better Brain..." By Dr Julia Rucklidge PhD and Dr Bonnie Kaplan PhD they are incredible in terms of helping to fix the brain. They also have amazing videos on UA-cam and as student in the medical field I really appreciate the work they have and are doing. I mention it constantly as I don't agree with the current "treatment" system which isn't aimed at a cure just life long pill taking. Dr Julia and Dr Bonnie look at nutritional needs as the answer and the book even includes loads of affordable nutritionally dense recipes. It's a game changer and I wish the book existed a decade ago so that I would have been mentally well sooner. Wishing you the best recovery ✨🫂👌
You can start eating healthier (Mediterranean diet is my suggestion along with gradual reduction of meals proportions always with medical consultation if you have health issues) and exercise at home (ex with apps) or outdoor with no cost…and search information and good ideas as a new hobby. U will soon find out u can do miracles with yourself on your own 😉
I cried watching this. As the mother of a son diagnosed with schizophrenia who committed suicide at 23, I know what Dr. Amen is absolutely true. I believe that this approach is world changing and should be used to try to cure addiction and other mental health behavior. God bless Dr. Amen.
Goodness, why something like this has to happen to anyone in this world??? I’m so sorry for you loss! As a mother I’m crying everyday for all the children that are suffering and I’m praying for every single one of them!
It always breaks my heart hearing how man have such grand problems to express their love to their sons. My husband never hears how proud his dad is, but when we are in his home town, we get so many information about US from the taxi driver, the waitress in the restaurant or random people talking to us on the street. He never tells my husband, but the whole town how proud he is, how good he thinks we do and how happy he is that he went his way.
I need a brain scan, EMDR therapy, and to get off anti depressants. I wish there was free healthcare in the US because the thought of the costs alone seem so daunting. This has been one of the most valuable podcasts on this channel so far. Thank you.
Your already suicided. Your on government loophole that allows then to watch you. Its a medical watchlist that makes you lose freedoms. Funny it coincides with bieber and cyrus hawww.
I started with reading Dr. Amen’s book “Change Your Brain, Change Your Life”. Highly recommend! It will be the first domino of many in helping you get better.
Vitamin D is so vital, I helped someone who is biracial and has a darker skin. Over the years he looked so pale and wasn't feeling good and it got worse and worse. I knew about the problem with dark skin and beeing in a cold climate, where you cover your skin constanly, that you would have very low vitamin d levels. So I told him he started high dosis of vitamin d3 combined with magnesium, which if you have been depleted, you can't take high dosis of vitamin d3 in your body in a healty way. After 4 weeks he felt so much better, looked so much more vibrant it is so wonderful, he thanked me so much and I was just so happy to see him healthy and happy😊
@@SandraA535 He did 50.000 IU per day for 4 weeks, but with high dosis like this you have to take Vitamin K2 200ug once a day with it and Magnesium 400mg twice a day. After that, he takes now in winter 20.000 IU and in summer 10.000 IU, still k2 200ug and Magnesium once a day. We live in Germany so we do not have a lot of Sun.
I have fair skin and live in Canada. This summer I had a garden. I also have 3 kids and try to be outside at least an hour a day. At the end of summer I tested slightly below normal for vitamin D. I'm sure it gets way lower than that in winter. I know an acquaintance who wears a hijab. She was worked up for infertility and her Vit D was undetectable (!!!!!!!!!!!).
I have been with my neuro psychiatrist for over 10 years and I sat in awe throughout this session because it felt like I was sitting with her. (Saw a neuro psychologist for 5 years) When Dr Amen said that we shouldn't be seen as our diagnosis, that warmed my heart because that's what my psychiatrist always tells me. She'll be like, "I know you so well Dieketseng, I'd be a best seller if I had to write about each of my patients because I know them even when they aren't sick" I can't wait to show her this. From the moment Dr Amen spoke and till the end, it highlighted and reminded me of my mental health journey with my neuro psychiatrist, and how blessed I am to have her. She "fixed" me - of course I had to put in my work too. I do believe if she didn't care and was a "typical" mental health professional, I wouldn't be here. I am going to send her this episode to remind her what brilliant work she has been doing. Even on days she may think ots not enough, she can return to this episode and see that someone out there shares the same values when it comes to being a mental health professional. And I bet she will be happy to reiterate that she's been telling me to take care of my brain. The "I told you so" card is coming. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Presenter is humble and a great interviewer. His intelligence is obvious as he knows and demonstrates the importance of having an open mind, having a teachable spirit, and being a critical thinker. These basic skills are lost on most people today
New here-- It’s so hard to find a podcast that the interviewer truly allows their guests to speak without the “uh huh, yeah, laughing, or interrupting”. That’s why I’m now going to subscribe bc I really appreciate that. I like to get to know the actual person and it’s very hard to bc many times their cut off from what they were going to say bc the interviewer just tries too hard or can’t listen well….. you’re doing a great job and it’s definitely appreciated! I am so serious. I was watching another podcast earlier and it was so much talking and I wanted to know “what was Kelly Clarkson actually going to say at the end of that sentence” MANY TIMES! It was about her divorce. I just truly appreciate you allowing your guests to- have the floor! And you have great feedback and questions as well. Great interview!
He got my subscription because of just that. He lets his guests speak and finish their thought process ... he is doing it for all of us to learn not just to get clicks and get paid. His questions are just gold... I love this podcast.
I usually watch all these podcasts in 2x speed but this episode I listened to it normally to absorb everything it was sooo good. Love Dr Amen and he breaks it down so well and was such a delight to listen to. I realize I need to hire a different brain assistant for my spontaneous self so if you’re that brain, hit me up
I seriously thought something was always wrong with my brain. I'm almost 25 and since early teenage years I've always been moderately anxious, moderately depressed, somewhat anti-social, lethargic, brain fogged. 3 weeks ago I quit marijuana and switched from 3 large cups of coffee per day to 3 cups of green tea, and I finally feel like a normal human being with a healthy brain. I wake up refreshed and in a good mood, I no longer feel like a zombie after the work day, no more morning nausea, less mood fluctuations, and I no longer need to sedate myself to go to sleep.
@@Sisterlisk you might need to switch a little slower. Let’s say you drink 3 cups of coffee per day. Maybe replace 1 of those with green tea for 2 weeks, then the second cup of coffee with green tea for the next two weeks, etc. It might take a second for your body to get used to it!
@Rachel T. Its withdrawal. You just have to suck it up and it will pass. Just make sure you stay hydrated. Tea especially green has enough caffeine to help You.
I love dr Amen. Have his books and he helped me a lot in my most depressive states. I stopped drinking coffee 2.5 months ago. I was drinking up to 5 coffees a day & one decided to stop completely. I'm shocked by how my focus has improved. I don't feel low during the afternoon. I have more energy. Even feel more confident, self-aware, intentional and present. I'm not going back to drinking coffee.
Even if you wanted to still drink coffee, you know whatever but what I don’t understand was why you were drinking 5 to begin with thats way too much that’ll make you sick. I mean apparently it wasn’t making you sick in your stomach but you made it clear that it was in your head though. I only drink 1 coffee. Tbh I don’t even drink coffee everyday. But still you never should have more than 1 in a day that’s really really bad. Besides everyone’s knows coffee isn’t good for you to an extent anyway. Just like how people say 1 glass of alcohol can be healthy for you and helps with certain things but of course if we have too much we get intoxicated and get upset stomach and vomit. 1 glass can help with good health anymore than that then it’s poison to us. Coffee is literally the same thing.
I don't think it would surprise anyone that 5 coffees a day would make one sick. Doesn't say anything about whether coffee in moderate amounts is good or bad for us
@@amber.ren_1995 yes 5 coffees is like round about 600-800 mg caffeine, the recommended dosage of caffeine per day is max. 400 mg. I mean, caffeine is also a drug, and it's always better to not use any drugs. But at least don't over do them if you do them.
OMG I could listen to Dr Amen for hours. His gentle style of explaining important topics is so soothing. Thanks for this interview, loved it and have shared it with my precious daughter. I know the information will help her improve her life and her children’s. BTW, I follow most of his advice and have had EMDR which melted away old painful memories and I now sleep like a content baby. (I am 73)✨🌵💙
The interruption at 1:15:34 was hilarious! 🤣 This speaker is quite comedic in his delivery! This interview was super intriguing and insigthful. Having a brain scan is now high on my priority bucketlist. 🧠🔍👀
Every single household across the world would benefit from sitting down and deeply listening to BOTH of Dr Amen's conversations on this channel. Every single person would take away so much value. Thank you both. 🙏
There has never been in the history of humans a monotheistic god = no son of god... the elohim of the OT was simply a pantheon [12] anunnaki that genetically modified hominoids to the blacks of africa for the sole intent of slavery - hence the great brawn and the IQ of 84.
I have never ever commented on anything on any public platform. But I simply have to break my rule today...so honoured being able to listen to this conversation. Same deep impact as the one with Simon Sinek. Just on different level. One lifesaving based on practicality and knowledge, other lifesaving by highlighing the importance in finding a true meaning in life, no matter how huge or small as it is subjective and contextual, while remaining vulnerable and authentic. Beautiful. Thank you.
This Podcast is my 4hrs per week of brain help, support and improvement, who knows where I would be without the learnings I now have. More on the brain workings and how we can better support better decisions would be amazing TY
This is exactly what we all need to know right now! If you don’t know about toxins in cosmetics by now, we’re in trouble. Please educate yourself and chose them right, and your food wisely. Loved this interview! What a legend - thanks Daniel🙏
Wooow this interview was deeper than any other podcast,and educational, I'm not gonna lie he made me emotional at the end. Doc. Amen is absolutely right and a healthy person, the difference between Doc who just prescribed antidepressants and the Doc like Amen who has found the mission to help PEOPLE. thank you for speaking out. I'm glad and happy for this interview to be available for everyone. Thank You ❤
Great video! Dr. Amen was spot on about the Insanity in the mental health industry of today. I'm very impressed he was so bold to say that. Good for him!
He has no integrity. He is a snake oil salesman profiting off fear and misinformation. His SPECT scans have zero diagnostic value. May as well read palms or tea leaves.
You’re right. The man is a pioneer and a voice of reason for there’s so much going on with the rise of mental illnesses and people are given pils left and right without considering the emotional and spiritual side of things. Accepting how our brains are wired is key to understanding the person instead of judging their “bad behaviour”, when they need help, love, support, care, and validation. ❤
Wow what a powerful testimony of a son and his dads journey to validation, love, healthy minds giving us all encouragement with loved ones. Fantastic brain health!
I didnt have a great time with my dad growing up either , it got a bit better but not much until he was 95 and needed, but didnt want to go into a care home. I looked after him until he died at home aged 100. It was no Hollywood ending but I will always feel lucky for the opportunity to be closer to him , and l think I would have also had a hole inside me if it hadnt been that way
@@srso4660 Justed wanted to note that I was being compassionate and modeling a compassionate dialogue, because I'm worried how you would receive my comment. I'm hoping that you receive it the same way I felt it.
I love the way you are pulling back the curtain to show this info to the people who cant afford private help Steven and to those who don't know and rely on the wrong kind of 'support'....Not everyone reads the 1000000's of books out there .To know this man and his work exists, will change peoples lives and give them hope peace and empowerment ..Hx
I read his book last year and it changed the way I interact with people- my relationships guided by sympathy, rather than misunderstanding. We are all physiologically and biologically different.
This was very comforting to me to watch. 3 years ago the accumulation of not prioritizing myself peaked in a disasterous way. Since then i have made positive changes for myself which has resulted in losing people, they don't align with the person i now love the most which is me. Listening to Dr Amen, i now have more goals to achieve and a renewed focus that im on the right path for my own mental health. Loved this video. An extremely important conversation.
Love this episode and Dr. Amen’s work to disrupt the industry. Healing my own cPSTD and understanding my own brain after all the traumatic experiences I’ve experienced in my childhood and got diagnosed with ADHD at 33 years old. It all started my deep inner healing work which turned my life upside down for the better. Although, it was not fun at first. Knowing what I know now.. I’m happy and grateful for my pain is a gift. It brought me back my joy, creativity, peace, freedom from negative emotions and it’s still a blessing to have my brain working hard to protect me all these years. 🧠❤️🎁 We need more of Dr. Amen in the world. One of my doctors dismissed my experience and made me feel like crap when I told him about my trauma. He told me to move on. WTF! He’s so old school and judgmental. That was it for me. I had to use my brain to do my squirrel work and research the condition I am in and feel to heal the pain that manifested in chronic illness that affected everything in my life.
I'm a nurse, not a doctor but I was taught that esteogen substitution comes with a significantly higher risk of developing cancer. Idk, maybe we women are cursed. 😢 This was such a good watch btw. It's a bliss listening to both of you
I lost my younger brother to suicide in 2019 so i feel what Amen is saying. I never understood how my brother was thinking until it was too late to help him. Thanks for this conversation
The world needs more passionate healthcare professionals like Dr. Amen! Thank you for a wonderfully inspiring and insightful podcast. I have learnt so much new information and a different outlook on how to look after “me/my brain” and I look forward to now going out on my own and seeking further knowledge. I have learnt so much in the past few days from your podcasts I have subscribed now. I enjoy them that much!! Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊🙏🏻
The problem is there's one of him & the average person can't go to him & afford his services. The rest of the medical field just wants to prescribe a pill & make their cut doing it. Our health care industry isn't about health or making you healthy. They manage symptoms & keep you coming back for another pill or test.
@@barbs1298 agree with what you are saying. What I do like about this channel the Information is at least getting out there and tbh I wouldn’t have been as informed had it not been for this channel. I’ve already made a lot of changes the last three days to my diet and I’m trying 16 hour fasting and hope to progress to longer periods. I have cut WAY down on sugar and I know this all takes time but I’m trying/implementing the changes. Agree mostly about the healthcare industry I am in the thick of the healthcare system myself I work in it. But even though I may never meet him, I’m grateful I have been able to access his knowledge.
I'm going through a rough period of my life & I really wish Dr. Amen had a practice in the Netherlands. I would immediately go there for help. On top of that, if someone in my family had these great skills and knowledge, I would immediately ask for their help. I truthfully wish your brother realises that. ❤
EFT (emotional freedom technique) is excellent and gets incredible results just like EMDR . You can do video call sessions with an EFT therapist. There are lots of UA-cam videos too (Brad Yates is fantastic) but it’s best to have some sessions with a qualified Therapist to begin with (or do an EFT seminar to learn it - I did training with Karl Dawson who is based in the UK and he is brilliant)
Thank you for all your amazing guests and meaningful topics and questions. Slowly I am trying to find myself after 60 years on this planet. And guests like today's guide me in directions I never thought existed. Thank you
I love your episodes! I've invented a new Tinted Deodorants and haven’t been getting enough sleep, drinking coffee every morning ; which I've never done in my life. My brain has been feeling foggy! A few days after putting down smoke and coffee, I've felt much better!! Thank you for your great work!! I've benefited from many episodes! Can't wait to be on your show, one day!!❤Just bought this book and have shared this podcast with friends and family as it is crucial information.🙏🏾😃
I am officially hooked on your podcast videos! Hello from Kansas! Thank you so much for providing such amazing people and excellent, thought provoking conversations where I learn so much! I've stopped watching TV since 2020 and have turned to UA-cam to enhance my knowledge of many new ideas and subjects that I never was interested in until recently. I keep watching and then putting others in the queue to watch next time I have 2 hours to get educated. I'm intrigued and enlightened by your podcasts! Thank you.
I really enjoyed your guess today. I personally don't like taking meds and always look for a natural solution but people always make fun of me and say I am a nut for not trusting anyone who's first through is to medicate me base on other patients. Thank you.
Don't listen to sanist dominance. They don't care for you when they label or view you as a nut or crazy. It's based on their fear of the unknown. It's social leprosy/the pariah effect. And a concequence of weaponised hysteria (psychiatry itself)
this conversation is amazing, so many "truths" that we all know but don't want to face or accept + so great to hear from a psychiatrist that isn't pushing pharmaceutical products.. I'm a therapist as well and this information is a Godsend ❤
Sam, think for a moment. If you met a man on the street who was telling you all the things you already knew, but don't like to say out loud, would you engage with that man like he was an expert, or shun that man like a hobo yelling at trash bins? Be honest. Think about what that means, "so many 'truths' that we all know but don't want to face". That means he's using common information to build false reference. That's a pretty big red flag. As a therapist... you should probably be able to recognize this. Just sayin. And if you read that book, God decided to stop sending things a couple thousand years ago. At least according to the books. Do you read?
@@ZennExile which book? and what do you mean "God decided to stop sending things a couple thousand years ago"? Do you not agree with the information he puts forward?
@@samp2782 I was making fun of the godspeed heart... why is this what you are focused on? Are you a therapist... or IN therapy? You are very specifically fixated on all the wrong parts of that comment.
@@ZennExile since you're only commenting to make fun of me or be insulting, there's no reason that I should reply or pay any attention to what you've said
@@samp2782 oh are you trying to win an argument because reading something you don't wanna face hurt your ego? Weird, how I was so right. You're a liar, and not just on the spot in public because you're nervous. No, you lie on the internet pathologically. And everyone who notices, they are just picking on you. ...a wild fukpotato appears.
I love Dr. Amen! Discovering neuroscience & brain imaging has changed my life. I’m actually excited to really discover my real potential and finally generate organic happiness and fulfillment.
I subscribed! Only recently have I been led to your channel and found that your guests have been people that I'm already familiar with and enjoy seeing them interacting with different hosts & formats. At 70 yrs old, I'm realizing how much better my time on this earth could've been had I been aware of the 'tools to overcome' a disastrous childhood. Lol....And I find your voice quite calming & lovely.
Love this guest and his message. Yes, peer pressure is real and everyone's super-caffeinated. I don't have more energy or that "buzzy" feeling since going decaf, but I enjoy my slower pace and not experiencing a mood roller coaster ride every single day, like my caffeinated colleagues do.
I've been following Dr Amen for over a year now. I'm really pleased you got him on your show. As someone who was diagnosed with ADD two years ago, we need people like this in society. Great interview as always. In depth and very engaging. You could have been mistaken that you were providing Dr Amen therapy.
I’m (was) a bipolar diagnosed person myself, and I can totally relate with the four circle Dr. Daniel Amen drew and talked about. I’ve been trying to understand my self, my illness, my condition, my path for years. I came up with similar thoughts about mental illness but not as this detailed, magnificent and scientific in terms of the methodology. It’s very comforting to hear this in the same time I’m thrilled. I’m really glad that I get to know Dr. Daniel’s work through your show, thank you Steven. And I’m very hopeful about this upcoming revolution in Brain Science and Psychiatry that he has to bring on. Hope that I can be a part of this journey or in any other ways in the near future to contribute to mental health and to cure as many people. Appreciate it a lot!!
Both my grandmothers drank coffee daily from their teenage years until their late nineties. They did not have any debilitated disease. One died of an accident in her nineties, and the other of a dog bite when she was 98 years old. My mother and father drank Ethiopian organic coffee daily from they were teenagers until they passed away in their eighties. I have their medical record, and they had no chronic disease. However, the coffee they drank was real organic Ethiopian COFFEE. As far as I know, my ancestors and family who drank coffee daily do not have any debilitating diseases, including brain disease. Drinking pure coffee on a daily basis has a lot of benefits.
He said a little is fine so one cup a day is fine. Also you said it yourself about being organic pure coffee not the additives they put in the us . Drink one cup of organic coffee 2 hours after you wake up and 10 hours before you sleep so it does not mess up your sleep .
We all have different reactions to different foods and drinks. I’m sure drinking an organic coffee will reduce your chances of it hurting your brain rather than a coffee you would purchase at a gas station.
“It tells you from 1-10 how quickly it’s killing you.” I laughed out loud at the bluntness. He is SO RIGHT. Thank God this awareness is becoming more mainstream. Maybe we can’t be perfect, but we need to stop purposefully poisoning ourselves with things like fragrance for no benefit at all- only to have a smell.
Tears, tear, tears of loss, realization and gratitude. Thank you from the depths of my childhood brain to my 60-year brain as i know i have time to get to work and get to work i must with the tools provided in this podcast!
This is such an amazing interview. The absolute best yet. I needed to hear this today as I am going through postpartum anxiety and just struggle each day to get in the right headspace. I am so grateful for this podcast and amazing mentors.
This doctor is telling the Truth. We need this. I went through all the problems he listed and I wish I was not ignorant and misinformed. My life had been hell and now is less but we need to listen to him, now!
I learn to love and care for my brain from doctor Amen back in mid 2000's on a PBS fund raiser. He is a blessing to us all who've listened to his speaches on the brain mind matter. GOD bless even more doctor Amen. Thank you for having him as your guest.
Great podcast - I learned so much here! As someone with PCOS, I was happy to hear it brought up, but I think it's important to mention that, since it is a syndrome, there are 3 qualifying factors to be diagnosed. The individual must match two of the three: - Small cysts on the ovaries -irregular periods -hormonal imbalance Just mentioning this in case it helps other women who may suspect they have PCOS.
This is without doubt the most eye opening, insightful and informative podcast I've had the privilege to listen to!!! From a medical and psychological perspective it all makes sense!! Whilst Dr. Amen is absolutely amazing and brilliant, shout out to Steve for being such a great interviewer!!
This entire discussion is excellent. Thank you both so much. Kudos to Dr Amen for being willing to be open and vulnerable during his talks. So much great information. TANA, please give him an extra hug, and vice versa. ♥️ Thank you very much.
Thank you Steven 🫶🏻🙏🏻 love this interview! I’m a mental health counselor in the US and I work closely with psychiatrists and social workers when treating patients with mental illness. This episode hits home for me. Ten years into my career as a psychotherapist, I relapsed back into anorexia. 2018 I was near death and as a last ditch effort to save my life, someone referred to me to a doctor very similar to him who took a holistic approach (social, psychiatric, psychological and spiritual) and that started my road to recovery. But I disagree….thank u for such amazing and enlightening content
it's very concerning to me how many dysfunctional people try to give others advice on mental health and life. I've seen it a shocking amount of times now. shouldn't all mental health counselors be held to a higher standard? ideally married or in a healthy relationship, ideal diet on lock, workout schedule with years of consistency, excellent social life, healthy mentally, life based on pursuit of worthy values, well liked, etc.. and that's just the bare minimum not even factoring in their ideological approach to "fixing someone". at least by overcoming your own problem (anorexia) you've displayed high value behavior and increased your ability to help others. that being said I hope you understand the importance of your job and what kind of standard you need to hold yourself to.
@@chrishayes5755 We are a species; we are not robots. How sad it is that you believe this person’s profession qualifies them to be the perfect human! Does that standard, as far as your profession, apply in YOUR life?
@@chrishayes5755 you don't need to be a perfect human as a therapist. You need to be a great profesional. Because the "advice" that you speak of is not rooted on personal experience but on science, research and decades of studies. So, it doesn't matter if your therapist is single or doesn't workout. What matters is their capacity to see what's the problem and its causes, to create good treatment plans, to be able to hold a therapeutic space, to have tools and knowledge and to be always studying and actualizing themselves. I don't care about my therapist personal life if they have great profesional skills.
This podcast has taught so much that I can’t even afford if I was to pay the amazing guest Steve interviews. This particular episode is a game changer. I wish I can meet Dr Amen to scan my brain. Thank you once Steven for this amazing interview. I feel so blessed I came across this podcast ❤
We are all listening Dr. Amen and we all believe 100% what you stand for. Don’t be discouraged, truth will eventually trump lies and evil. God bless you for not being bought 🙏
THAT IS SO MUCH MY OWN PERSONAL APPROACH AS A MEDICAL DOCTOR! HEALTHIER BRAIN IS THE GATEWAY TO CREATE YOUR REALITY! THE BEST OF US ARE WAY BETTER THAN THE WORST! HUMANITY IS BEAUTIFUL IT HAS ONLY FORGOTTEN WHAT REALLY IS TO BE HUMAN AND WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO HAVE A BRAIN!
Starting today/right now, I will definitely start this ritual before bed practice about going thru my day and trying to recall all the good things that happened and things that I liked....steering away from my deeply ingrained (Catholic) practices of going thru my mistakes and nonsense like that. Thank you Dr. Amen, I've been searching for gratefulness for quite some time recently and now this video just comes my way.
This gave me a lot of hope for myself I didn't know I needed. Just knowing that the brain is so flexible, and can be fixed, suddenly changes everything for me. I was struggeling with depression and grudges for years, was able to get out of my depression, but then I went through a period of extreme stress and suffered extreme sleep deprivation (a normal night, I would wake up 20-30 times, lie awake and struggle to fall asleep). Now I'm left with anxiety - which I believe is due to the strss and sleep deprivation. I have felt anxious for hours a day, for two years now, but maybe if I focus more on brain health, it will decrease. Thanks for giving me hope!
This was one of the best ones I’ve watched! And there’s been so many I’ve thought were amazing on this channel. As someone who’s been on antidepressants from the age of 16- 23 I’m due to start ADD meds this month and it made so many things make sense for me!
The 4 building blocks to a whole and healthy person (paraphrasing Dr. Amen 💙): 1) The hardware - the brain 2) The software - the mind, thoughts, emotions 3) Personal connections, relationships, your welfare 4) Spirituality, deep sense of meaning and purpose
I absolutely LOVED this episode…every minute of it. I’m actually re watching it all over again because there is so much valuable information and so many bits I don’t want to miss! Amazing, I am one of your biggest fans, thank you for these incredible conversations, I have learned so much!
Listening to this laying on the bench by the Zurich River in the sun kissed afternoon, smells river, thinking to myself. Its time to change my life for better 😊
I worked in the medical field too and what my boss always said was "Family are always the hardest patients" I guess thats even true to one of the most prominent Therapists and mental health Doctors out there :D
I was a mental health counselor for a short while, but being a person who is probably a bit more persistent brain type, I challenged the science and wondered about the wisdom of using a list of traits only to diagnose an entire person. So, I stopped counseling and went back to business and helping people through coaching while learning about neuroscience to put some type of science into what I do to be more effective. I love this information from Dr Amen and how perfectly he summarized the mental health industry, and the insanity, his intentional use of that word, of how there’s no physical science behind diagnosis. That’s what I thought 25 yrs ago… kudos again to Steven for such a fine job interviewing!
From Bangkok, Thailand. I found your podcast a month ago and I keep coming back to listening more on any subject related to health care to improve my health. Thank you. I really appreciate your content it so helpful ❤ 🙏 I always have an issue with my health since I was a kid but like most people that I didn't care. Until 4 yrs ago I had an extreme face pain, runny nose, face swollen, headache (which I though just a flu) then I've been diagnosed with Rhinosinusitisan caused by an allergy of dust, mite which I never thought I can have it! Because my childhood had been exposed to nature, played with dirt etc. I designed to cured my allergy by getting a monthly shot now it been 3 yrs my allergy is getting better but last year I had been admin into a hospital 6 times! 2 from allergies which a doctor cannot figured out what caused it, 4 from thyroiditis and it was horrible for me to keep geeting sick all the time if effecting my mental health, my job etc. I had been focusing on getting healthier by do more exercises, sterilised my environment but never though about food is the most important part. Since beginning of 2023 after so many listening to countless poscast, reading so many books, intermittent fasting, changing my diet, adjust my exercises routine I never been sick ever since. 🤗
One of my top favorite channels, you are killing it with this Information and high quality preparation for these amazing guests! Please please keep them coming you’re saving lives believe it or not
This is one of the most insightful conversations I've ever heard! I'm going to listen to this again and take notes! Thank you for having this conversation!
Have listened to other interviews of Dr. Amen and this is the best so far. It takes skill to have a meaningful conversation and not just about asking questions. Listening to your channel every day! Thank you for sharing these interviews! 😊👊
What a 'gobsmackingly' amazing interview. Thank you so much. I have a very bright, awesome daughter who is on 7 different medications via her psychiatrist, who I don't trust at all. We have an appointment with a Neurologist next week and I am definitely taking some of these nuggets with me. Holding thumbs.
Ah I think about gas stations all the time. Aside from electric they are ready to be disrupted. What if they were lifestyle centers? I love doctor amen and visited his clinic 10 years ago. It helped me stop drinking and get brain health prioritized. Beautiful episode.
FYI electric cars use mining products. Hybrids cannot be recycled. We would need the entire Andes mts. For everyone to have one.the electric grid cannot handle all e. Cars. Co2 is plant food. We don't make enough and we all die. Fact....its easier to get sheeple to capitulate than sending in troops or make unpopular laws.
The title of this episode almost made skip watching this, as I’d assumed the topics could be superficial. But wow-the range of topics you’ve covered is impressive. My favorite so far. Thank you.
Thank you Dr. My fathers psychiatrist kicked him out of the psych ward in 1976 stating " we need the beds for people who WANT to get better"..he swallowed a shotgun months later. I wish youd been his Dr. You are right....children and grandchildren. My brother found my dad at 17 and raised me and my llittle sister. Once we were 21 he started an addiction and was ded in 7 yrs... your calling is dooo important. Im touched my the story of its origin ❤

I wish I could afford a SPECT scan… I’ve wanted one since I learned about them and dr Amen almost 20 years ago.
Dr. Amen was my son’s doctor in Fairfield, CA! He helped my child get off ADHD meds, got him through high school, college…he now has a 22 year successful marriage with 3 beautiful children. I can never thank him enough!! ❤
You thanked him by paying for his services and he probably thanked you for that.
hell yeah!!!!
What did he do? I'm taking adderall but I don't think it's healthy for me long term

Thank you
I am too depressed to summon the necessary energy it would take me to express how much I enjoyed this podcast and the extent to which it resonated with me. It gave me the energy to get up from bed to brush my teeth which didn't happen in two weeks. Dr.Amen is a wizard and you're an excellent interviewer. You've asked every question that I was itching to hear the answer to. Thank you.
Clearly you had the strength…but for some reason, it took something OUTSIDE of you to take action. Perhaps your thinking is what needs to change. Joe Dispenza is another podcast you might enjoy.
It was you who made you get up. And it's been always you. Whatever happens, happens to you by you, through you; you are the creator, enjoyer and destroyer of all you perceive.
Take 15,000 iu Vit D3 daily plus K2 and magnesium .. your depression should fade dramatically .. also B vitamins .. eat liver ( contains all b vits) or nutritional yeast (1tablespoon daily)
Same depression is evil it weakens us on the daily 😢
Be well friend!!! Wishing you, peace, strength and love!
Hope you take steps to betterment
Xx
Some parents really dont understand how powerful their support and encouragement are to their offspring. Love this episode so much. Definitely one the top of my favorites
"give them the gift of forgiveness, commit to it and hold on to it. and if you can do that for that relationship, you have more control over your happiness"
that made me cry a little. such a beautiful massage.
It's so true what he is saying: there has never been so many health experts and advice, and we are sicker and sicker. Because it's just about selling.
Same with the food & pharma industry..hand in hand...
I am sure his books and clinics come with a hefty price tag too
@@celianorris7042 but why do you need them? He is saying in this podcast what you should do to have a healthy brain.
@@AndyLux123 I don't need them at all, just not impressed as he said nothing that hasn't been said before
@@celianorris7042 Advice almost NO ONE takes because our modern western life is making it harder and harder to do without great effort.
I struggle with chronic stress and depression and don't have the resources to get the help I need- I am so so absolutely grateful for these episodes as they point me in the direction of what working methods are available to me at lower costs. Thank you.
Pray to God for deliverance! You probably have a demon keeping you down. You can find how to do that here on UA-cam.
There's a wonderful book called "The Better Brain..." By Dr Julia Rucklidge PhD and Dr Bonnie Kaplan PhD they are incredible in terms of helping to fix the brain. They also have amazing videos on UA-cam and as student in the medical field I really appreciate the work they have and are doing. I mention it constantly as I don't agree with the current "treatment" system which isn't aimed at a cure just life long pill taking. Dr Julia and Dr Bonnie look at nutritional needs as the answer and the book even includes loads of affordable nutritionally dense recipes. It's a game changer and I wish the book existed a decade ago so that I would have been mentally well sooner.
Wishing you the best recovery ✨🫂👌
Eating healthy helps,but for me exercise was absolutely game changer
@@brendalee6867 Please, stop.
You can start eating healthier (Mediterranean diet is my suggestion along with gradual reduction of meals proportions always with medical consultation if you have health issues) and exercise at home (ex with apps) or outdoor with no cost…and search information and good ideas as a new hobby. U will soon find out u can do miracles with yourself on your own 😉
I cried watching this. As the mother of a son diagnosed with schizophrenia who committed suicide at 23, I know what Dr. Amen is absolutely true. I believe that this approach is world changing and should be used to try to cure addiction and other mental health behavior. God bless Dr. Amen.
Go to a church that casts out demons and have your son delivered!
I'm so sorry 💔 and wish you well ☀️
I’m sorry to hear about your son. Stay strong and take care.
Goodness, why something like this has to happen to anyone in this world??? I’m so sorry for you loss! As a mother I’m crying everyday for all the children that are suffering and I’m praying for every single one of them!
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
It always breaks my heart hearing how man have such grand problems to express their love to their sons. My husband never hears how proud his dad is, but when we are in his home town, we get so many information about US from the taxi driver, the waitress in the restaurant or random people talking to us on the street. He never tells my husband, but the whole town how proud he is, how good he thinks we do and how happy he is that he went his way.
I need a brain scan, EMDR therapy, and to get off anti depressants. I wish there was free healthcare in the US because the thought of the costs alone seem so daunting. This has been one of the most valuable podcasts on this channel so far. Thank you.
We have free medical in Canada but you can't get a brain scan, unless they think it's critical.
Come to UK
Your already suicided. Your on government loophole that allows then to watch you. Its a medical watchlist that makes you lose freedoms. Funny it coincides with bieber and cyrus hawww.
I started with reading Dr. Amen’s book “Change Your Brain, Change Your Life”. Highly recommend! It will be the first domino of many in helping you get better.
@@carazuraski thank you! Just purchased!
Vitamin D is so vital, I helped someone who is biracial and has a darker skin. Over the years he looked so pale and wasn't feeling good and it got worse and worse. I knew about the problem with dark skin and beeing in a cold climate, where you cover your skin constanly, that you would have very low vitamin d levels. So I told him he started high dosis of vitamin d3 combined with magnesium, which if you have been depleted, you can't take high dosis of vitamin d3 in your body in a healty way. After 4 weeks he felt so much better, looked so much more vibrant it is so wonderful, he thanked me so much and I was just so happy to see him healthy and happy😊
Yep my grandson pilled thru hes biracial
How much D3,is a high dose?
@@SandraA535 He did 50.000 IU per day for 4 weeks, but with high dosis like this you have to take Vitamin K2 200ug once a day with it and Magnesium 400mg twice a day. After that, he takes now in winter 20.000 IU and in summer 10.000 IU, still k2 200ug and Magnesium once a day. We live in Germany so we do not have a lot of Sun.
I have fair skin and live in Canada. This summer I had a garden. I also have 3 kids and try to be outside at least an hour a day. At the end of summer I tested slightly below normal for vitamin D. I'm sure it gets way lower than that in winter. I know an acquaintance who wears a hijab. She was worked up for infertility and her Vit D was undetectable (!!!!!!!!!!!).
I have been with my neuro psychiatrist for over 10 years and I sat in awe throughout this session because it felt like I was sitting with her. (Saw a neuro psychologist for 5 years)
When Dr Amen said that we shouldn't be seen as our diagnosis, that warmed my heart because that's what my psychiatrist always tells me. She'll be like, "I know you so well Dieketseng, I'd be a best seller if I had to write about each of my patients because I know them even when they aren't sick" I can't wait to show her this.
From the moment Dr Amen spoke and till the end, it highlighted and reminded me of my mental health journey with my neuro psychiatrist, and how blessed I am to have her.
She "fixed" me - of course I had to put in my work too. I do believe if she didn't care and was a "typical" mental health professional, I wouldn't be here.
I am going to send her this episode to remind her what brilliant work she has been doing. Even on days she may think ots not enough, she can return to this episode and see that someone out there shares the same values when it comes to being a mental health professional. And I bet she will be happy to reiterate that she's been telling me to take care of my brain. The "I told you so" card is coming.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Amazing comment! How awesome your life is. I'll bet you help a lot of people.
Who is your neuro psychiatrist? Im looking for a good one! Thank you sooo much in advance
That sounds so great it really shows how great she is love this comment so much wishing you both good life 🤍
Aww this is a wonderful story! ❤
so lovely:)
Presenter is humble and a great interviewer. His intelligence is obvious as he knows and demonstrates the importance of having an open mind, having a teachable spirit, and being a critical thinker. These basic skills are lost on most people today
New here-- It’s so hard to find a podcast that the interviewer truly allows their guests to speak without the “uh huh, yeah, laughing, or interrupting”. That’s why I’m now going to subscribe bc I really appreciate that. I like to get to know the actual person and it’s very hard to bc many times their cut off from what they were going to say bc the interviewer just tries too hard or can’t listen well….. you’re doing a great job and it’s definitely appreciated! I am so serious. I was watching another podcast earlier and it was so much talking and I wanted to know “what was Kelly Clarkson actually going to say at the end of that sentence” MANY TIMES! It was about her divorce. I just truly appreciate you allowing your guests to- have the floor! And you have great feedback and questions as well. Great interview!
He got my subscription because of just that. He lets his guests speak and finish their thought process ... he is doing it for all of us to learn not just to get clicks and get paid. His questions are just gold... I love this podcast.
I usually watch all these podcasts in 2x speed but this episode I listened to it normally to absorb everything it was sooo good. Love Dr Amen and he breaks it down so well and was such a delight to listen to. I realize I need to hire a different brain assistant for my spontaneous self so if you’re that brain, hit me up
Adhd
Brain assistant? Let’s connect! Is there messaging capabilities on UA-cam?
I seriously thought something was always wrong with my brain. I'm almost 25 and since early teenage years I've always been moderately anxious, moderately depressed, somewhat anti-social, lethargic, brain fogged.
3 weeks ago I quit marijuana and switched from 3 large cups of coffee per day to 3 cups of green tea, and I finally feel like a normal human being with a healthy brain. I wake up refreshed and in a good mood, I no longer feel like a zombie after the work day, no more morning nausea, less mood fluctuations, and I no longer need to sedate myself to go to sleep.
Green tea gives you enough caffeine? I tried switching to green tea and I got headaches.
@@Sisterlisk you might need to switch a little slower. Let’s say you drink 3 cups of coffee per day. Maybe replace 1 of those with green tea for 2 weeks, then the second cup of coffee with green tea for the next two weeks, etc. It might take a second for your body to get used to it!
I like weed
@Rachel T. Its withdrawal. You just have to suck it up and it will pass. Just make sure you stay hydrated. Tea especially green has enough caffeine to help
You.
@Missy Curl I drink only one cup of coffee, in the morning. I tried switching to black tea on a work day, intense headache ensued later.
I love dr Amen. Have his books and he helped me a lot in my most depressive states. I stopped drinking coffee 2.5 months ago. I was drinking up to 5 coffees a day & one decided to stop completely. I'm shocked by how my focus has improved. I don't feel low during the afternoon. I have more energy. Even feel more confident, self-aware, intentional and present. I'm not going back to drinking coffee.
Thinking I’ll try quitting as well
Even if you wanted to still drink coffee, you know whatever but what I don’t understand was why you were drinking 5 to begin with thats way too much that’ll make you sick. I mean apparently it wasn’t making you sick in your stomach but you made it clear that it was in your head though. I only drink 1 coffee. Tbh I don’t even drink coffee everyday. But still you never should have more than 1 in a day that’s really really bad. Besides everyone’s knows coffee isn’t good for you to an extent anyway. Just like how people say 1 glass of alcohol can be healthy for you and helps with certain things but of course if we have too much we get intoxicated and get upset stomach and vomit. 1 glass can help with good health anymore than that then it’s poison to us. Coffee is literally the same thing.
A lot of people don’t realize how caffeine depletes B vitamins. That causes brain fog among other things.
I don't think it would surprise anyone that 5 coffees a day would make one sick. Doesn't say anything about whether coffee in moderate amounts is good or bad for us
@@amber.ren_1995 yes 5 coffees is like round about 600-800 mg caffeine, the recommended dosage of caffeine per day is max. 400 mg. I mean, caffeine is also a drug, and it's always better to not use any drugs. But at least don't over do them if you do them.
OMG I could listen to Dr Amen for hours. His gentle style of explaining important topics is so soothing. Thanks for this interview, loved it and have shared it with my precious daughter. I know the information will help her improve her life and her children’s. BTW, I follow most of his advice and have had EMDR which melted away old painful memories and I now sleep like a content baby. (I am 73)✨🌵💙
Aw that's nice to hear :)
The interruption at 1:15:34 was hilarious! 🤣 This speaker is quite comedic in his delivery! This interview was super intriguing and insigthful. Having a brain scan is now high on my priority bucketlist. 🧠🔍👀
Every single household across the world would benefit from sitting down and deeply listening to BOTH of Dr Amen's conversations on this channel.
Every single person would take away so much value.
Thank you both.
🙏
Omg I just discovered your podcast. Thank you! You are doing the Lord’s work 🙏🏽
Thank you xxx
I enjoy the calm way and superb listening skills you possess. They are Gifts from above.
@@loverofthewordofgod4156 Yep, comparing to many other interviewers, he actually listens to his guests!!!
Drew says 😘😘😘
There has never been in the history of humans a monotheistic god = no son of god... the elohim of the OT was simply a pantheon [12] anunnaki that genetically modified hominoids to the blacks of africa for the sole intent of slavery - hence the great brawn and the IQ of 84.
I have never ever commented on anything on any public platform. But I simply have to break my rule today...so honoured being able to listen to this conversation. Same deep impact as the one with Simon Sinek. Just on different level. One lifesaving based on practicality and knowledge, other lifesaving by highlighing the importance in finding a true meaning in life, no matter how huge or small as it is subjective and contextual, while remaining vulnerable and authentic. Beautiful. Thank you.
This Podcast is my 4hrs per week of brain help, support and improvement, who knows where I would be without the learnings I now have. More on the brain workings and how we can better support better decisions would be amazing TY
I really enjoy your interviewing skills! You inspire people to “go deep” and avoid useless chit chat. Loving the substance here!😊
This is exactly what we all need to know right now! If you don’t know about toxins in cosmetics by now, we’re in trouble. Please educate yourself and chose them right, and your food wisely. Loved this interview! What a legend - thanks Daniel🙏
Wooow this interview was deeper than any other podcast,and educational, I'm not gonna lie he made me emotional at the end. Doc. Amen is absolutely right and a healthy person, the difference between Doc who just prescribed antidepressants and the Doc like Amen who has found the mission to help PEOPLE. thank you for speaking out. I'm glad and happy for this interview to be available for everyone. Thank You ❤
Great video! Dr. Amen was spot on about the Insanity in the mental health industry of today. I'm very impressed he was so bold to say that. Good for him!
Totally agree. Integrity is rare!
He has no integrity. He is a snake oil salesman profiting off fear and misinformation. His SPECT scans have zero diagnostic value. May as well read palms or tea leaves.
You’re right. The man is a pioneer and a voice of reason for there’s so much going on with the rise of mental illnesses and people are given pils left and right without considering the emotional and spiritual side of things.
Accepting how our brains are wired is key to understanding the person instead of judging their “bad behaviour”, when they need help, love, support, care, and validation. ❤
The best podcast channel on UA-cam. A continuous list of outstanding experts, properly interviewed.
Thanks!
I laughed so hard at his dad not getting depressed he just caused depression. Just like my Dad. We were 7 children also.
These ppl are highly (passive-)aggressive maniacs. They thrive on sucking the life out of others (=cause depression).
Wow what a powerful testimony of a son and his dads journey to validation, love, healthy minds giving us all encouragement with loved ones. Fantastic brain health!
I didnt have a great time with my dad growing up either , it got a bit better but not much until he was 95 and needed, but didnt want to go into a care home.
I looked after him until he died at home aged 100. It was no Hollywood ending but
I will always feel lucky for the opportunity to be closer to him , and l think I would have also had a hole inside me if it hadnt been that way
“Making a good brain great” is a fantastic book! I greatly appreciate this show!!
what if you don't have a "good" brain to begin with? 😭
@@srso4660 I've seen your picture now. It seems you may be having a loving pet, or you would like to have one.
@@srso4660 Justed wanted to note that I was being compassionate and modeling a compassionate dialogue, because I'm worried how you would receive my comment. I'm hoping that you receive it the same way I felt it.
Where is the 'make a disastrous brain less bad' book?! 😂
I love the way you are pulling back the curtain to show this info to the people who cant afford private help Steven and to those who don't know and rely on the wrong kind of 'support'....Not everyone reads the 1000000's of books out there .To know this man and his work exists, will change peoples lives and give them hope peace and empowerment ..Hx
I read his book last year and it changed the way I interact with people- my relationships guided by sympathy, rather than misunderstanding. We are all physiologically and biologically different.
This was very comforting to me to watch. 3 years ago the accumulation of not prioritizing myself peaked in a disasterous way. Since then i have made positive changes for myself which has resulted in losing people, they don't align with the person i now love the most which is me. Listening to Dr Amen, i now have more goals to achieve and a renewed focus that im on the right path for my own mental health. Loved this video. An extremely important conversation.
Love this episode and Dr. Amen’s work to disrupt the industry.
Healing my own cPSTD and understanding my own brain after all the traumatic experiences I’ve experienced in my childhood and got diagnosed with ADHD at 33 years old.
It all started my deep inner healing work which turned my life upside down for the better. Although, it was not fun at first.
Knowing what I know now.. I’m happy and grateful for my pain is a gift. It brought me back my joy, creativity, peace, freedom from negative emotions and it’s still a blessing to have my brain working hard to protect me all these years. 🧠❤️🎁
We need more of Dr. Amen in the world.
One of my doctors dismissed my experience and made me feel like crap when I told him about my trauma. He told me to move on. WTF! He’s so old school and judgmental. That was it for me. I had to use my brain to do my squirrel work and research the condition I am in and feel to heal the pain that manifested in chronic illness that affected everything in my life.
I'm curious how you healed your PTSD. Any treatment/therapy in particular?
That's so brave!)
How did you take those steps, I wonder.
I'm a nurse, not a doctor but I was taught that esteogen substitution comes with a significantly higher risk of developing cancer. Idk, maybe we women are cursed. 😢
This was such a good watch btw. It's a bliss listening to both of you
The book Estrogen Matters gives a good look at how that idea was promoted.
I lost my younger brother to suicide in 2019 so i feel what Amen is saying. I never understood how my brother was thinking until it was too late to help him. Thanks for this conversation
😢my brother too. Lack of awareness environments he lived in
Take care of you ok? Nourish yourself to ensure that your experience of this event doesn't harm you long term. 🙏
The world needs more passionate healthcare professionals like Dr. Amen!
Thank you for a wonderfully inspiring and insightful podcast. I have learnt so much new information and a different outlook on how to look after “me/my brain” and I look forward to now going out on my own and seeking further knowledge.
I have learnt so much in the past few days from your podcasts I have subscribed now. I enjoy them that much!! Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊🙏🏻
The problem is there's one of him & the average person can't go to him & afford his services. The rest of the medical field just wants to prescribe a pill & make their cut doing it. Our health care industry isn't about health or making you healthy. They manage symptoms & keep you coming back for another pill or test.
@@barbs1298 agree with what you are saying. What I do like about this channel the Information is at least getting out there and tbh I wouldn’t have been as informed had it not been for this channel. I’ve already made a lot of changes the last three days to my diet and I’m trying 16 hour fasting and hope to progress to longer periods. I have cut WAY down on sugar and I know this all takes time but I’m trying/implementing the changes.
Agree mostly about the healthcare industry I am in the thick of the healthcare system myself I work in it.
But even though I may never meet him, I’m grateful I have been able to access his knowledge.
@@michellea2b Very true.
I have found no better podcast than this one. To the author, continue your fantastic work.
I'm going through a rough period of my life & I really wish Dr. Amen had a practice in the Netherlands. I would immediately go there for help. On top of that, if someone in my family had these great skills and knowledge, I would immediately ask for their help. I truthfully wish your brother realises that. ❤
Do you happen to know Anastasia?
EFT (emotional freedom technique) is excellent and gets incredible results just like EMDR . You can do video call sessions with an EFT therapist. There are lots of UA-cam videos too (Brad Yates is fantastic) but it’s best to have some sessions with a qualified Therapist to begin with (or do an EFT seminar to learn it - I did training with Karl Dawson who is based in the UK and he is brilliant)
I love how authentic he is as a doctor. I love how the conversation went. ❤
Thank you for all your amazing guests and meaningful topics and questions. Slowly I am trying to find myself after 60 years on this planet. And guests like today's guide me in directions I never thought existed.
Thank you
I love your episodes! I've invented a new Tinted Deodorants and haven’t been getting enough sleep, drinking coffee every morning ; which I've never done in my life. My brain has been feeling foggy! A few days after putting down smoke and coffee, I've felt much better!! Thank you for your great work!! I've benefited from many episodes! Can't wait to be on your show, one day!!❤Just bought this book and have shared this podcast with friends and family as it is crucial information.🙏🏾😃
Thank you SO much for this brilliant episode. An EMDR therapist, so pleased that he spoke about this and his brain imaging in this episode.
I am officially hooked on your podcast videos! Hello from Kansas! Thank you so much for providing such amazing people and excellent, thought provoking conversations where I learn so much! I've stopped watching TV since 2020 and have turned to UA-cam to enhance my knowledge of many new ideas and subjects that I never was interested in until recently. I keep watching and then putting others in the queue to watch next time I have 2 hours to get educated. I'm intrigued and enlightened by your podcasts! Thank you.
I really enjoyed your guess today. I personally don't like taking meds and always look for a natural solution but people always make fun of me and say I am a nut for not trusting anyone who's first through is to medicate me base on other patients. Thank you.
Don't listen to sanist dominance. They don't care for you when they label or view you as a nut or crazy. It's based on their fear of the unknown. It's social leprosy/the pariah effect. And a concequence of weaponised hysteria (psychiatry itself)
this conversation is amazing, so many "truths" that we all know but don't want to face or accept + so great to hear from a psychiatrist that isn't pushing pharmaceutical products.. I'm a therapist as well and this information is a Godsend ❤
Sam, think for a moment. If you met a man on the street who was telling you all the things you already knew, but don't like to say out loud, would you engage with that man like he was an expert, or shun that man like a hobo yelling at trash bins? Be honest.
Think about what that means, "so many 'truths' that we all know but don't want to face". That means he's using common information to build false reference. That's a pretty big red flag. As a therapist... you should probably be able to recognize this. Just sayin.
And if you read that book, God decided to stop sending things a couple thousand years ago. At least according to the books. Do you read?
@@ZennExile which book? and what do you mean "God decided to stop sending things a couple thousand years ago"?
Do you not agree with the information he puts forward?
@@samp2782 I was making fun of the godspeed heart... why is this what you are focused on? Are you a therapist... or IN therapy? You are very specifically fixated on all the wrong parts of that comment.
@@ZennExile since you're only commenting to make fun of me or be insulting, there's no reason that I should reply or pay any attention to what you've said
@@samp2782 oh are you trying to win an argument because reading something you don't wanna face hurt your ego?
Weird, how I was so right. You're a liar, and not just on the spot in public because you're nervous. No, you lie on the internet pathologically. And everyone who notices, they are just picking on you.
...a wild fukpotato appears.
As a 56 year old embarking (finally) on my health journey, this has been SO insightful. Thank you for this amazing podcast.
I love Dr. Amen! Discovering neuroscience & brain imaging has changed my life. I’m actually excited to really discover my real potential and finally generate organic happiness and fulfillment.
I subscribed! Only recently have I been led to your channel and found that your guests have been people that I'm already familiar with and enjoy seeing them interacting with different hosts & formats. At 70 yrs old, I'm realizing how much better my time on this earth could've been had I been aware of the 'tools to overcome' a disastrous childhood. Lol....And I find your voice quite calming & lovely.
Love this guest and his message. Yes, peer pressure is real and everyone's super-caffeinated. I don't have more energy or that "buzzy" feeling since going decaf, but I enjoy my slower pace and not experiencing a mood roller coaster ride every single day, like my caffeinated colleagues do.
I've been following Dr Amen for over a year now. I'm really pleased you got him on your show. As someone who was diagnosed with ADD two years ago, we need people like this in society. Great interview as always. In depth and very engaging. You could have been mistaken that you were providing Dr Amen therapy.
Did it help your adhd? How if so
I’m (was) a bipolar diagnosed person myself, and I can totally relate with the four circle Dr. Daniel Amen drew and talked about. I’ve been trying to understand my self, my illness, my condition, my path for years. I came up with similar thoughts about mental illness but not as this detailed, magnificent and scientific in terms of the methodology. It’s very comforting to hear this in the same time I’m thrilled. I’m really glad that I get to know Dr. Daniel’s work through your show, thank you Steven. And I’m very hopeful about this upcoming revolution in Brain Science and Psychiatry that he has to bring on. Hope that I can be a part of this journey or in any other ways in the near future to contribute to mental health and to cure as many people. Appreciate it a lot!!
Probably my best episode yet. Life changing. Thank you Diary of a CEO and Dr Amen 🙏
Both my grandmothers drank coffee daily from their teenage years until their late nineties. They did not have any debilitated disease. One died of an accident in her nineties, and the other of a dog bite when she was 98 years old. My mother and father drank Ethiopian organic coffee daily from they were teenagers until they passed away in their eighties. I have their medical record, and they had no chronic disease. However, the coffee they drank was real organic Ethiopian COFFEE. As far as I know, my ancestors and family who drank coffee daily do not have any debilitating diseases, including brain disease. Drinking pure coffee on a daily basis has a lot of benefits.
There are always exceptions to the rule
He said a little is fine so one cup a day is fine. Also you said it yourself about being organic pure coffee not the additives they put in the us . Drink one cup of organic coffee 2 hours after you wake up and 10 hours before you sleep so it does not mess up your sleep .
We all have different reactions to different foods and drinks. I’m sure drinking an organic coffee will reduce your chances of it hurting your brain rather than a coffee you would purchase at a gas station.
I love the way you do interviews, you really let your guest communicate. You make it about them. Thanks very much.
Thanks doctor for telling the truths without any hesitation. We need doctors like you. I appreciate ❤
“It tells you from 1-10 how quickly it’s killing you.” I laughed out loud at the bluntness. He is SO RIGHT. Thank God this awareness is becoming more mainstream. Maybe we can’t be perfect, but we need to stop purposefully poisoning ourselves with things like fragrance for no benefit at all- only to have a smell.
Yet he is all for poisoning brains with deadly drugs like Prozac & Ritalin?!!!
Tears, tear, tears of loss, realization and gratitude. Thank you from the depths of my childhood brain to my 60-year brain as i know i have time to get to work and get to work i must with the tools provided in this podcast!
This is such an amazing interview. The absolute best yet. I needed to hear this today as I am going through postpartum anxiety and just struggle each day to get in the right headspace. I am so grateful for this podcast and amazing mentors.
Thank you ! I would never call you a "content creator" YOU are a genuine truth seeker
Steven, you’re skilled and very talented interviewer! The questions you ALWAYS ask are the exact questions your audience wants to ask. Thank you.
This doctor is telling the Truth. We need this. I went through all the problems he listed and I wish I was not ignorant and misinformed. My life had been hell and now is less but we need to listen to him, now!
I learn to love and care for my brain from doctor Amen back in mid 2000's on a PBS fund raiser.
He is a blessing to us all who've listened to his speaches on the brain mind matter.
GOD bless even more doctor Amen.
Thank you for having him as your guest.
Great podcast - I learned so much here! As someone with PCOS, I was happy to hear it brought up, but I think it's important to mention that, since it is a syndrome, there are 3 qualifying factors to be diagnosed. The individual must match two of the three:
- Small cysts on the ovaries
-irregular periods
-hormonal imbalance
Just mentioning this in case it helps other women who may suspect they have PCOS.
Thank you for adding that clarity. It’s important.
Me enjoying this with my morning coffee 😊
😂😂
This is without doubt the most eye opening, insightful and informative podcast I've had the privilege to listen to!!! From a medical and psychological perspective it all makes sense!! Whilst Dr. Amen is absolutely amazing and brilliant, shout out to Steve for being such a great interviewer!!
Danke!
My favorite episode thus far!!! I now have so much more clarity about things I can do to be happier and healthier inside and out. Thank you!!!
This entire discussion is excellent. Thank you both so much. Kudos to Dr Amen for being willing to be open and vulnerable during his talks. So much great information. TANA, please give him an extra hug, and vice versa. ♥️ Thank you very much.
Thank you Steven 🫶🏻🙏🏻 love this interview!
I’m a mental health counselor in the US and I work closely with psychiatrists and social workers when treating patients with mental illness. This episode hits home for me. Ten years into my career as a psychotherapist, I relapsed back into anorexia. 2018 I was near death and as a last ditch effort to save my life, someone referred to me to a doctor very similar to him who took a holistic approach (social, psychiatric, psychological and spiritual) and that started my road to recovery. But I disagree….thank u for such amazing and enlightening content
it's very concerning to me how many dysfunctional people try to give others advice on mental health and life. I've seen it a shocking amount of times now. shouldn't all mental health counselors be held to a higher standard? ideally married or in a healthy relationship, ideal diet on lock, workout schedule with years of consistency, excellent social life, healthy mentally, life based on pursuit of worthy values, well liked, etc.. and that's just the bare minimum not even factoring in their ideological approach to "fixing someone".
at least by overcoming your own problem (anorexia) you've displayed high value behavior and increased your ability to help others. that being said I hope you understand the importance of your job and what kind of standard you need to hold yourself to.
@@chrishayes5755 We are a species; we are not robots. How sad it is that you believe this person’s profession qualifies them to be the perfect human!
Does that standard, as far as your profession, apply in YOUR life?
What do you disagree with?
@@jdmosaics I think they meant digress.
@@chrishayes5755 you don't need to be a perfect human as a therapist. You need to be a great profesional. Because the "advice" that you speak of is not rooted on personal experience but on science, research and decades of studies.
So, it doesn't matter if your therapist is single or doesn't workout. What matters is their capacity to see what's the problem and its causes, to create good treatment plans, to be able to hold a therapeutic space, to have tools and knowledge and to be always studying and actualizing themselves.
I don't care about my therapist personal life if they have great profesional skills.
I lobe your program it’s great.
Emdr has helped me tremendously with my processing my trauma. Love that he brought this up!
This podcast has taught so much that I can’t even afford if I was to pay the amazing guest Steve interviews. This particular episode is a game changer. I wish I can meet Dr Amen to scan my brain. Thank you once Steven for this amazing interview. I feel so blessed I came across this podcast ❤
omg - finally someone else says we are at war for our health and well being
We are all listening Dr. Amen and we all believe 100% what you stand for. Don’t be discouraged, truth will eventually trump lies and evil. God bless you for not being bought 🙏
THAT IS SO MUCH MY OWN PERSONAL APPROACH AS A MEDICAL DOCTOR! HEALTHIER BRAIN IS THE GATEWAY TO CREATE YOUR REALITY! THE BEST OF US ARE WAY BETTER THAN THE WORST! HUMANITY IS BEAUTIFUL IT HAS ONLY FORGOTTEN WHAT REALLY IS TO BE HUMAN AND WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO HAVE A BRAIN!
We need MANY MANY MORE Dr. Amen’s in this world!!! 💞
Starting today/right now, I will definitely start this ritual before bed practice about going thru my day and trying to recall all the good things that happened and things that I liked....steering away from my deeply ingrained (Catholic) practices of going thru my mistakes and nonsense like that. Thank you Dr. Amen, I've been searching for gratefulness for quite some time recently and now this video just comes my way.
This gave me a lot of hope for myself I didn't know I needed. Just knowing that the brain is so flexible, and can be fixed, suddenly changes everything for me. I was struggeling with depression and grudges for years, was able to get out of my depression, but then I went through a period of extreme stress and suffered extreme sleep deprivation (a normal night, I would wake up 20-30 times, lie awake and struggle to fall asleep). Now I'm left with anxiety - which I believe is due to the strss and sleep deprivation. I have felt anxious for hours a day, for two years now, but maybe if I focus more on brain health, it will decrease. Thanks for giving me hope!
This was one of the best ones I’ve watched! And there’s been so many I’ve thought were amazing on this channel. As someone who’s been on antidepressants from the age of 16- 23 I’m due to start ADD meds this month and it made so many things make sense for me!
The 4 building blocks to a whole and healthy person (paraphrasing Dr. Amen 💙):
1) The hardware - the brain
2) The software - the mind, thoughts, emotions
3) Personal connections, relationships, your welfare
4) Spirituality, deep sense of meaning and purpose
I absolutely LOVED this episode…every minute of it. I’m actually re watching it all over again because there is so much valuable information and so many bits I don’t want to miss! Amazing, I am one of your biggest fans, thank you for these incredible conversations, I have learned so much!
Listening to this laying on the bench by the Zurich River in the sun kissed afternoon, smells river, thinking to myself. Its time to change my life for better 😊
Sounds like a lovely spot to enjoy your day.
I worked in the medical field too and what my boss always said was "Family are always the hardest patients" I guess thats even true to one of the most prominent Therapists and mental health Doctors out there :D
I was a mental health counselor for a short while, but being a person who is probably a bit more persistent brain type, I challenged the science and wondered about the wisdom of using a list of traits only to diagnose an entire person. So, I stopped counseling and went back to business and helping people through coaching while learning about neuroscience to put some type of science into what I do to be more effective. I love this information from Dr Amen and how perfectly he summarized the mental health industry, and the insanity, his intentional use of that word, of how there’s no physical science behind diagnosis. That’s what I thought 25 yrs ago… kudos again to Steven for such a fine job interviewing!
From Bangkok, Thailand. I found your podcast a month ago and I keep coming back to listening more on any subject related to health care to improve my health. Thank you. I really appreciate your content it so helpful ❤ 🙏 I always have an issue with my health since I was a kid but like most people that I didn't care. Until 4 yrs ago I had an extreme face pain, runny nose, face swollen, headache (which I though just a flu) then I've been diagnosed with Rhinosinusitisan caused by an allergy of dust, mite which I never thought I can have it! Because my childhood had been exposed to nature, played with dirt etc. I designed to cured my allergy by getting a monthly shot now it been 3 yrs my allergy is getting better but last year I had been admin into a hospital 6 times! 2 from allergies which a doctor cannot figured out what caused it, 4 from thyroiditis and it was horrible for me to keep geeting sick all the time if effecting my mental health, my job etc. I had been focusing on getting healthier by do more exercises, sterilised my environment but never though about food is the most important part. Since beginning of 2023 after so many listening to countless poscast, reading so many books, intermittent fasting, changing my diet, adjust my exercises routine I never been sick ever since. 🤗
Your channel always brings people value and insight into a new world we wouldn't know about.
One of my top favorite channels, you are killing it with this Information and high quality preparation for these amazing guests! Please please keep them coming you’re saving lives believe it or not
This is one of the most insightful conversations I've ever heard! I'm going to listen to this again and take notes! Thank you for having this conversation!
Have listened to other interviews of Dr. Amen and this is the best so far. It takes skill to have a meaningful conversation and not just about asking questions. Listening to your channel every day! Thank you for sharing these interviews! 😊👊
What an amazing discussion, Doctor Daniel Amen is a genius, so well spoken, clear and to the point. Thank you
Love this episode, so many moments of realisation. A wonderful conversation and I learnt so much. Thank you.
What a 'gobsmackingly' amazing interview. Thank you so much. I have a very bright, awesome daughter who is on 7 different medications via her psychiatrist, who I don't trust at all. We have an appointment with a Neurologist next week and I am definitely taking some of these nuggets with me. Holding thumbs.
Ah I think about gas stations all the time. Aside from electric they are ready to be disrupted. What if they were lifestyle centers? I love doctor amen and visited his clinic 10 years ago. It helped me stop drinking and get brain health prioritized. Beautiful episode.
FYI electric cars use mining products. Hybrids cannot be recycled. We would need the entire Andes mts. For everyone to have one.the electric grid cannot handle all e. Cars. Co2 is plant food. We don't make enough and we all die. Fact....its easier to get sheeple to capitulate than sending in troops or make unpopular laws.
The title of this episode almost made skip watching this, as I’d assumed the topics could be superficial. But wow-the range of topics you’ve covered is impressive. My favorite so far. Thank you.
Thank you Dr. My fathers psychiatrist kicked him out of the psych ward in 1976 stating " we need the beds for people who WANT to get better"..he swallowed a shotgun months later. I wish youd been his Dr. You are right....children and grandchildren. My brother found my dad at 17 and raised me and my llittle sister. Once we were 21 he started an addiction and was ded in 7 yrs... your calling is dooo important. Im touched my the story of its origin ❤
The MOST fascinating interview I've seen. Ive never heard of this man until now - but I just want to read and learn more. Love it.
