Thank you, sponsors, for making this possible. I am having a hard time in my life right now, but after hearing the Doctor I am truly inspired. Inspired to treat my brain way better than I have. Inspired to learn more about my brain and inspired to be a better person for my family. ❤ 🧠
This topic and interview was amazing, thank you for that. I’ve first read about Dr.Amen’s findings decades ago but he still is revolutionary in a lot of brain related research
The fact that nobody talks about censored book called The 21 Former Doctor Secrets by Rachel Morgan really gets to me. Always loved people like Rachel, they open our eyes
Thanks to these two gentlemen for sharing the facts with us. It's crazy how nobody is talking about a book Health and Beauty Mastery. I think they are trying to censor it for exposing industry secrets.
Five things i learnt 1.The brain generally is lazy, it tends to do what it has been trained to do hence the need to try and consinstently learn good habits. 2. Always ask yourself - good for your brain or bad for it ? Diet, habits etc 3.How you go about your day is important, Start off with telling yourself this is gonna be a great day, go on thru the day consciously, then at the end of the day, assess and focus more on what went well. Repeat. 4. Impulsivity and ADHD are real, and so is depression and addiction. Seek professional advice. 5. Its never too late to start healing your brain through a healthy lifestyle. Improvements can occur even within 3 weeks of consistency.
Rich, you dont interrupt too much. You summarize information in a really great way. Sometimes your guests are all of the place with their message and you help refocus. I think you do this better than most podcasts hosts out there.
I would argue he is the best out there at this. Asks a question, listens intently without interrupting. Then repeats back his summarized understanding of the interviewee’s message.
@@kyleleighton9726 totally agree Rich is the best and also how he introduces the guests, summarising the key biographical info and introducing the area of expertise, is consistently head and shoulders above the competition.
For the first time I find a doctor who agrees with me regarding the fact that mental illnesses are nothing but symptoms of physical illnesses. I thank God that I found this good doctor. Thank you for what you provide.
Was gonna say the same. Well said Thank you DR 54 fighting disease of addiction all my life still trying to life on life’ too. Powerful stuff 20 mins in
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
This is so revolutionary but also full of common sense. People are so eager to just have an excuse and a pill and keep living their sad lives. We need to stop labeling and medicating so readily and point people to real solutions for health and lasting contentment
Rich you're so cool and you're a personal role model for me. Thanks for your openness about your ADHD & previous addiction problems. I also have ADHD & it's hard to relate to with other men as they're almost always very closed off and walled up but you're so honest & true. I admire that.
This episode is so good unfortunately it’s too long for someone with ADHD. Now I have to go back and relisten to it😫!!! At least I got my entire kitchen cleaned and 3 loads of laundry done. Thanks for posting!
Rich, you are so thoughtful and skillful in your interviews. I’ve never perceived you as an interviewer whom interrupts! This was the best podcast I’ve seen with Dr. Amen, thank you! It will be so interesting to hear about your brain scan. Nothing to fear :)❤

As someone with extreme panic attacks... I've trained my brain of course with the help of meds to ignore the sensations of the attack to focus on anything else... Rubbing my fingers together, doing a soduku puzzle, focusing on breathing.... You have to concentrate so hard on keeping your mind off the panic attack while relaxing your body...
Dear Rich Roll, I have watched countless of your podcasts over the years but this one really got to me... Powerful information and such a warmhearted Dr. Amen and you. Thank you big time for this interview and all you do. You DO make the world a better place.
i had wet brain temporarily from alcoholism and coke and meth. im amazed i recovered and this year im taking a break from weed as a birthday present to myself.
I took my son was diagnosed with bipolar and schizophrenia to him 7 or 8 years ago. Because he was vet he got a discount and it was the first time after all the years and many meds that I realized there was not only addiction issues, but possible traumatic head injury from all the years of wrestling and gymnastics. I would show these images to his psych doctors and they just didn't get it or really care. It was 5 years of struggling and working as a family to get him sober and back to us after being homeless and on his own. He is doing so much better! Of course still on 4 meds which I am trying my hardest to get his nutrition under control to eliminate some. I am hopeful that we can come back to Amen Clinic and see his improvement which I think would be even more of a motivator.
Research Psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer. He wrote a book and has a RUclips channel about the Keto diet and mental illness. He shared a story about a patient who had schizophrenia and with Keto diet put it in remission and was able to get off medication.
Please look up diets that cure mental illness for an example gluten wheat white breads rice sugar dairy and processed foods will take someone out just like me I was on 7 mental illness pills off all them I had ocd panic attacks psychosis as a kid mental hostpital u name it so keep looking for certain diets online or RUclips it works I would suggest go on a meat diet like beef eggs chicken and some salmon fish for omega 3 for mental illness in inflammatory stuff in the brain stay away from breads as much as possible if ur gonna want some grains go with organic brown rice stay away from bad cooking oils and also healthy ones like olive oil if ur gonna use a cooking oil use little bit but not a big amount of extra virgin olive oil. I also did fasting in my diet fasting is the best thing for cancer brain damage anything mental illness physical health problems so look into fasting also and also take ur supplements magnesium vitamin d vitamin b complex and vitamin c especially for cell damage 🙏 u got to research I did my research I didn’t know any of these things docs didn’t tell me my parents were educated they were born from a third world country no education doctors will kill u with meds u can beat all these debases with diet and also fasting and avoided certain foods and junk
The techniques and equipment he uses for diagnostics (SPECT) have been scrutinized by other professionals. It's not my field of expertise so I can't comment on that. I, however, have tried his treatment advice with regards to specific subtypes of ADHD, and it actually worked. I don't tolerate any form of stimulants whether it is caffeine, methylphenidate, amphetamine, nicotine etc. at all. The ADD drugs did squat to help me out it just gave me more problems. Then I read what Dr Daniel Amen had to say about the different form of ADHD from his experience. Let's just say that I'll be finished with my PhD in Biochemistry degree by the end of this year and I'm in the best mental, emotional, physical and spiritual state I've been in my life...Without any pharmaceutical drugs! This man deserves credit where it is due.
@@nieczerwonyFirstly, I exercise (weight training, calisthenics and a lot of walking). I meditate daily and also do therapy about once a month .I eat a predominantly plant-based diet (95%) but I do consume about two servings or so of seafood and eggs (lean meats once in a while). I supplement with fish oil (2.4g) , l-tyrosine, alpha-GPC, l-tryptophan and herbal extracts like ashwaghanda, rhodiola rosea, bacopa monnieri and ginko biloba. If I really need to be super focused on something I use noopept as well.
fascinating topic. Dr. Amen is spot on. we need to love our brains and do the best we can to keep healthy. i think they need to start in schools to teach the importance of brain health. thx Rich and Dr. Amen!
I discovered you a few months ago and I have to tell you I absolutely LOVE your channel. The guests that you have on are quite honestly amazing and Dr. Amen is a doctor I knew about many years ago when my daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and I wanted to hear what Dr. Amen has to say about Alzheimer's and Dementia. I cannot begin to tell you how much you have helped in my life by bringing Dr. Amen and Dr. Mosconi in my life. Thank you for your wonderful channel and no, you don't interrupt too much😄
In Surah Al-Anbya, it was revealed: “We made every living thing from water, will they not believe?” (Quran, 21:30) and it was only after the discovery of the microscope that it was concluded that all living things consist mostly of water - while in the deserts of Arabia, the last thing a man could guess is that all of life ultimately came from water
Yes, the Qur’an mentioned everything before even scientists discovered it millions of years ago. We do not pretend, but rather we have evidence for everything. You only have to research, not talk. Okey!! @@bestmindcoolingrelaxationm1084
It’s not that the eyes are blind but the heart is. What I mean by this is that the truth is in front of you but your are still in denial Read the Quran in English and you will find most if not all your unanswered questions will be in there. Most of what the scientist nowadays are finding out was already in the Quran. Look at it from a fresh perspective keep your mind open & I kid you not you will find your answers that’s not just with science but all or most of your questions in life. @@bestmindcoolingrelaxationm1084
Dr. Amen's emphasis on the proactive assessment and care of brain health is groundbreaking. Recognizing and treating the 11 major risk factors he identifies could revolutionize our approach to mental health and cognitive decline prevention. 🧠
Wow. As an orphan who lost both patents in teen age, I couldn't believe how many of the parenting tips listed I felt were deeply missing from my life even now as an adult! The 20 min a day activity and paying attention to behaviors, especially good behaviors, made me emotional to think about. Great topics discussed in this video, thank you!
Initially, I was quite fascinated by Dr. Amen, his studies, his research, and his amazing knowledge of the human brain. But as I began to read more about his work and his clientele, it became obvious that his compassion for his work is centered around making gobs of money. All of his clientele are wealthy. Just like so many things in this society, if you're not well off financially, then you're walled off, which is obscene and wrong. Mental Healthcare such as this could completely revolutionize our society, especially in a time when the Mental well-being of our culture is so deplorable.
In 1992, I lived for 15 years with a TBI; Dr. Amen's book gave me hope and guidance and knowledge since then. 32 years later... what a journey. Lost my trust in the 'normal' medical profession since: not interested, not thinking specifically, but arrogant 95% of them. Thank you Dr. Amen for keeping up, keeping going. Much love.
His advice to explain better to kids/teens is so good. I never listened to adults partly cuz my childhood made me not trust them but most of the time I just needed things explained instead of just saying “don’t do that” or “do this”. I needed things explained so I could understand even if I didn’t fully trust some of them.
Well I've had my brain scanned a number of times as I needed nine hours of brain surgery in 2017 to remove a tumour. The tumour in my left frontal lobe led to significant changes in my personality - I was pretty crazily sexually promiscuous, with comprised sense of boundaries and very impulsive, and had periods tearful and feeling suicidal. I had no idea it was brain tumour related until I had an epileptic fit on the bus on the way to work! I have a far calmer mind and lifestyle now! It is a scary realisation that you're not in control of your thoughts , emotions and behaviour when the brain is compromised. I'm mega careful lifestyle wise now to be as health conscious as possible - vegan whole food diet, meditation, and regular exercise (strength, cardio and flexibility) and minimal alcohol. Dr Amen talks a lot of sense!
Thank you Rich for getting on the people who can really help us. This was the best I've seen with the Dr and i also love how you're evolving as a host, a human and a herbivore 🍏🙏
This was amazing. I subscribed to the page because I learned a lot about ME during this podcast. I've shared the link to friends and families as well. Thank you!
Great and very insightful conversation thank you and well done for the effort in putting this information out there. I have never really paid much attention to my brain health and like what you and your guest said, this is largely due to the fact that because its not a visible organ most of us tend to ignore it but with all I have learnt from this conversation I will start giving my brain health the attention it deserves. Thank you again.
Hi .It’s a blessing day for me to watch this video.I was so lucky .I can’t appreciate enough how your information could be relief for all my thoughts I had until now .Dear Dr I definitely am going to schedule appointments and need to be part of your successful journey.good luck and god bless you and your family.I hope your studies and research and your work will continue and help millions people and drs around the world .❤
Thank you so much for this video! I’m a teacher, mother and wife. My child is on two different sports and I feel like I’m always on survival mode. Sometimes our meals have to be take outs and I put my own exercise on hold for her to get to where she needs to go. It would be so interesting to see how my brain would look like, or any teacher in general. Again thank you so much for this information.
Man the amount of information about my self from a dude I don’t even know. Thank you so much for this video.. literally answered or sheaded light on so many topics about my self. I will continue to watch your videos! Help me take care of my brain! Wow very good podcast / video!!!
Love you both! Please make it more affordable to get a brain scan. It’s over $5K to have a brain scan from his office. How are we helping ppl if we make it so difficult to be proactive?? Seems like only ppl with money are able to get the best of the best in our insane diseased filled society. No disrespect, but commenting in hopes we can change this. 🙏🏻
I have asked exactly what this Dr does? How does he access the scan. I have been researching help for seizures started through a TBI in 2005. I have not had any reply as yet. Could be all about the $$$
Extremely reasonable question. A lot of self help folks do this. Tell us what years of research has shown, then take advantage of the knowledge and make it completely unaffordable for almost everybody. Not trying to be negative but it's just what they do.
I had a SPECT scan in 2022. It cost about 5k, but the results changed my life. A doctor from the clinic interpreted the results, then coached me on what changes to make during several follow-up sessions (included with that initial cost). I’m still doing the work: stopped drinking, got off damaging prescriptions, go to therapy, work out, take supplements and go to hyperbaric oxygen treatments. If they hadn’t seen the areas of concern, I’d be on the road to dementia. Dr. Amen rocks. It was worth the investment.
I'm so glad that he said that the greatest gift that you could give to your kids is a healthy brain. (Or something like that.) My parents have both declined the past five years. (Dementia/Alzheimer's) It's really taken a toll on me and my family. I'm 57 and have a 17 year old who's in her last year of homeschooling. I have major guilt that I haven't really "been there" for her. I 'm determined to make her senior year the best. She shared the link to this video with me through a text. ❤
This was a great conversation with so much great information. Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed it and got some great takeaways. I didn’t feel like anyone interrupted anyone too much at all. Just great dialog. Can’t wait to hear about your brain scan results, Rich!!
Beautiful and informative discussion by two smart and authentic men who made my day. It's not often that I get a mellow feeling after so much brain activity. Ah-h-h!
This episode is solid gold. Absolutely the most beneficial, informative, and hopeful presentation I've seen anywhere regarding fundamental brain health. Who knew? Thank you, Dr. Amen, thank you, Rich.
Typing this not to pick on people but rather to tell you is possible. I suffered from panic attacks for some time but I conquered them and haven't had one in 2 years and I also hated life, I don't doubt that some people have it worse and there is something else that is causing them, like brain damage or something, but for me what worked was the following: changed my diet to a healthy diet, myself talk is positive, I practice gratefulness, box breathing, I have a sleeping routine, I only drink alcohol about once per month, exercise, read every day and practice meditation. Now this might sound like a lot but the alternative is a miserable life so you pick yours.
I absolutely loved this podcast topic. I learned of Dr Amen today on another podcast. Then I found this more in depth longer dialogue. I'm so grateful from beginning to end the content has deeply encouraged me.
Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance
I watched tbe video to improve my english language skills. The video gave me many vocabularies and a lot of expressions, and now I have a bit knowlage about mental health. Thank you for this podcast.
If I may also, it is not just the brain that affects our moods and behaviors, it is the heart, the digestive system and cellular memory. We put various organs on pedestals and the truth is we have to be capable of wider views, though I am aware of time limits on podcasts. 🙏
Amazing podcast! I'm listening to this at 4am trying to get back to sleep, and am so impressed, that I've deliberately woken myself to full alertness to comment on it. 🔥
@richroll - I honestly am so worried also. After being an alcoholic, the one thing I have been doing is focusing on it but then I slip because I lose hope. It’s 100% conflicting.
I fell off the top of football stadium at the age of 3. They say I landed on my feet. Never finish anything much...now I know It did affect me. Thank you Dr. Amen
I only hope and pray that we can allow the poor people to get help with this technology----and have access to it so that we can collectively be more unified in helping each other Thank you💯💥💯
thank u for sharing this am sure it helped a ton of people and so far i haven't seen anyone else talk about it which leads me to believe it's because "a healthy person means no profit for the medical industry"
I NEED TO TALK TO THIS MAN! I’m suffering from BEHAVIORAL SYMPTOMS NOT LACK OF HONOR OR MOTIVATION OR STRENGTH. Wow… and this is so clear to me after watching this. I have to find a way to see this man! Anyone know a way I can write to him?! I guarantee he’d be interested in using my story as a reference for his brilliance!

Thanks to these two gentlemen for sharing the facts with us. It's crazy how nobody is talking about a book Health and Beauty Mastery. I think they are trying to censor it for exposing industry secrets.
I read it it's great
I heard about that
Five things i learnt
1.The brain generally is lazy, it tends to do what it has been trained to do hence the need to try and consinstently learn good habits.
2. Always ask yourself - good for your brain or bad for it ? Diet, habits etc
3.How you go about your day is important, Start off with telling yourself this is gonna be a great day, go on thru the day consciously, then at the end of the day, assess and focus more on what went well. Repeat.
4. Impulsivity and ADHD are real, and so is depression and addiction. Seek professional advice.
5. Its never too late to start healing your brain through a healthy lifestyle. Improvements can occur even within 3 weeks of consistency.
This is a good one thank you❤

He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.
The problem is where can I get some Psychedelics asap?
Just jesting! :)
This is so revolutionary but also full of common sense. People are so eager to just have an excuse and a pill and keep living their sad lives. We need to stop labeling and medicating so readily and point people to real solutions for health and lasting contentment

The 1st PODCAST watching within 5 Minutes of release GREAT to see “ Dr Daniel Amen “ with “ Rich “, thank you “ Rich “ for doing this ❤😊🙏
I took my son was diagnosed with bipolar and schizophrenia to him 7 or 8 years ago. Because he was vet he got a discount and it was the first time after all the years and many meds that I realized there was not only addiction issues, but possible traumatic head injury from all the years of wrestling and gymnastics. I would show these images to his psych doctors and they just didn't get it or really care. It was 5 years of struggling and working as a family to get him sober and back to us after being homeless and on his own. He is doing so much better! Of course still on 4 meds which I am trying my hardest to get his nutrition under control to eliminate some. I am hopeful that we can come back to Amen Clinic and see his improvement which I think would be even more of a motivator.
Research Psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer. He wrote a book and has a RUclips channel about the Keto diet and mental illness. He shared a story about a patient who had schizophrenia and with Keto diet put it in remission and was able to get off medication.
@@amandasturgeon90 thank you
@@amandasturgeon90I do trust Dr palmer research 👍
Please look up diets that cure mental illness for an example gluten wheat white breads rice sugar dairy and processed foods will take someone out just like me I was on 7 mental illness pills off all them I had ocd panic attacks psychosis as a kid mental hostpital u name it so keep looking for certain diets online or RUclips it works I would suggest go on a meat diet like beef eggs chicken and some salmon fish for omega 3 for mental illness in inflammatory stuff in the brain stay away from breads as much as possible if ur gonna want some grains go with organic brown rice stay away from bad cooking oils and also healthy ones like olive oil if ur gonna use a cooking oil use little bit but not a big amount of extra virgin olive oil. I also did fasting in my diet fasting is the best thing for cancer brain damage anything mental illness physical health problems so look into fasting also and also take ur supplements magnesium vitamin d vitamin b complex and vitamin c especially for cell damage 🙏 u got to research I did my research I didn’t know any of these things docs didn’t tell me my parents were educated they were born from a third world country no education doctors will kill u with meds u can beat all these debases with diet and also fasting and avoided certain foods and junk
The techniques and equipment he uses for diagnostics (SPECT) have been scrutinized by other professionals. It's not my field of expertise so I can't comment on that. I, however, have tried his treatment advice with regards to specific subtypes of ADHD, and it actually worked. I don't tolerate any form of stimulants whether it is caffeine, methylphenidate, amphetamine, nicotine etc. at all. The ADD drugs did squat to help me out it just gave me more problems. Then I read what Dr Daniel Amen had to say about the different form of ADHD from his experience. Let's just say that I'll be finished with my PhD in Biochemistry degree by the end of this year and I'm in the best mental, emotional, physical and spiritual state I've been in my life...Without any pharmaceutical drugs! This man deserves credit where it is due.
That's great to hear. What supplements and methods you actually adopted if I can ask?
@@nieczerwonyFirstly, I exercise (weight training, calisthenics and a lot of walking). I meditate daily and also do therapy about once a month .I eat a predominantly plant-based diet (95%) but I do consume about two servings or so of seafood and eggs (lean meats once in a while). I supplement with fish oil (2.4g) , l-tyrosine, alpha-GPC, l-tryptophan and herbal extracts like ashwaghanda, rhodiola rosea, bacopa monnieri and ginko biloba. If I really need to be super focused on something I use noopept as well.
He is brave and he loves his mission , lives it
Applause 👏🏽
What did you do to treat it ?
Conversations like these are really important for guiding people right way . Thank you
fascinating topic. Dr. Amen is spot on. we need to love our brains and do the best we can to keep healthy. i think they need to start in schools to teach the importance of brain health. thx Rich and Dr. Amen!
I'm a big fan of Dr Amen, he's helped me so much! Thanks for doing this interview. The parenting advice is also very helpful.
I discovered you a few months ago and I have to tell you I absolutely LOVE your channel. The guests that you have on are quite honestly amazing and Dr. Amen is a doctor I knew about many years ago when my daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and I wanted to hear what Dr. Amen has to say about Alzheimer's and Dementia. I cannot begin to tell you how much you have helped in my life by bringing Dr. Amen and Dr. Mosconi in my life. Thank you for your wonderful channel and no, you don't interrupt too much😄
In Surah Al-Anbya, it was revealed: “We made every living thing from water, will they not believe?” (Quran, 21:30) and it was only after the discovery of the microscope that it was concluded that all living things consist mostly of water - while in the deserts of Arabia, the last thing a man could guess is that all of life ultimately came from water
What? Isn't the most important thing in the dessert is water? That's just simple logic.
@@bahamut149😂😂😂The only problem I see in religions is when they pretend to know things about this universe
😢😢
Yes, the Qur’an mentioned everything before even scientists discovered it millions of years ago. We do not pretend, but rather we have evidence for everything. You only have to research, not talk. Okey!! @@bestmindcoolingrelaxationm1084
It’s not that the eyes are blind but the heart is. What I mean by this is that the truth is in front of you but your are still in denial
Read the Quran in English and you will find most if not all your unanswered questions will be in there. Most of what the scientist nowadays are finding out was already in the Quran. Look at it from a fresh perspective keep your mind open & I kid you not you will find your answers that’s not just with science but all or most of your questions in life. @@bestmindcoolingrelaxationm1084
Dr. Amen's emphasis on the proactive assessment and care of brain health is groundbreaking. Recognizing and treating the 11 major risk factors he identifies could revolutionize our approach to mental health and cognitive decline prevention. 🧠
I love Dr. Amen. I wish there were MORE of him.
Without question, the best and most helpful podcast I ever listened to.
Wow. As an orphan who lost both patents in teen age, I couldn't believe how many of the parenting tips listed I felt were deeply missing from my life even now as an adult! The 20 min a day activity and paying attention to behaviors, especially good behaviors, made me emotional to think about. Great topics discussed in this video, thank you!
The most powerful, thought provoking podcast I have listened to. Thank you both.
Initially, I was quite fascinated by Dr. Amen, his studies, his research, and his amazing knowledge of the human brain. But as I began to read more about his work and his clientele, it became obvious that his compassion for his work is centered around making gobs of money. All of his clientele are wealthy. Just like so many things in this society, if you're not well off financially, then you're walled off, which is obscene and wrong.
Mental Healthcare such as this could completely revolutionize our society, especially in a time when the Mental well-being of our culture is so deplorable.
In 1992, I lived for 15 years with a TBI; Dr. Amen's book gave me hope and guidance and knowledge since then. 32 years later... what a journey. Lost my trust in the 'normal' medical profession since: not interested, not thinking specifically, but arrogant 95% of them. Thank you Dr. Amen for keeping up, keeping going. Much love.
His advice to explain better to kids/teens is so good. I never listened to adults partly cuz my childhood made me not trust them but most of the time I just needed things explained instead of just saying “don’t do that” or “do this”. I needed things explained so I could understand even if I didn’t fully trust some of them.
Well I've had my brain scanned a number of times as I needed nine hours of brain surgery in 2017 to remove a tumour. The tumour in my left frontal lobe led to significant changes in my personality - I was pretty crazily sexually promiscuous, with comprised sense of boundaries and very impulsive, and had periods tearful and feeling suicidal. I had no idea it was brain tumour related until I had an epileptic fit on the bus on the way to work! I have a far calmer mind and lifestyle now! It is a scary realisation that you're not in control of your thoughts , emotions and behaviour when the brain is compromised. I'm mega careful lifestyle wise now to be as health conscious as possible - vegan whole food diet, meditation, and regular exercise (strength, cardio and flexibility) and minimal alcohol. Dr Amen talks a lot of sense!
one of the best discussions on brain health! congratulations Rich, it was very helpful and insightful. Dr Amen is a brain game changer❤
Dr. Amen is the best!!!
Thank you Rich for getting on the people who can really help us. This was the best I've seen with the Dr and i also love how you're evolving as a host, a human and a herbivore 🍏🙏
Protect this man at all cost !!!!❤
I’m grateful for this helpful conversation, much appreciated 🙏
This was amazing. I subscribed to the page because I learned a lot about ME during this podcast. I've shared the link to friends and families as well. Thank you!
Great and very insightful conversation thank you and well done for the effort in putting this information out there. I have never really paid much attention to my brain health and like what you and your guest said, this is largely due to the fact that because its not a visible organ most of us tend to ignore it but with all I have learnt from this conversation I will start giving my brain health the attention it deserves. Thank you again.
Hi .It’s a blessing day for me to watch this video.I was so lucky .I can’t appreciate enough how your information could be relief for all my thoughts I had until now .Dear Dr I definitely am going to schedule appointments and need to be part of your successful journey.good luck and god bless you and your family.I hope your studies and research and your work will continue and help millions people and drs around the world .❤
Thank you so much for this video! I’m a teacher, mother and wife. My child is on two different sports and I feel like I’m always on survival mode. Sometimes our meals have to be take outs and I put my own exercise on hold for her to get to where she needs to go.
It would be so interesting to see how my brain would look like, or any teacher in general. Again thank you so much for this information.
Man the amount of information about my self from a dude I don’t even know. Thank you so much for this video.. literally answered or sheaded light on so many topics about my self. I will continue to watch your videos! Help me take care of my brain! Wow very good podcast / video!!!
My favorite quote right off the bat "So if I'm right and I am!"
Love you both! Please make it more affordable to get a brain scan. It’s over $5K to have a brain scan from his office. How are we helping ppl if we make it so difficult to be proactive?? Seems like only ppl with money are able to get the best of the best in our insane diseased filled society. No disrespect, but commenting in hopes we can change this. 🙏🏻
I have asked exactly what this Dr does? How does he access the scan. I have been researching help for seizures started through a TBI in 2005. I have not had any reply as yet. Could be all about the $$$
Also explains why he treats celebrities, he's not diagnosing and treating average folks. His clientele seems to be those with money.
Extremely reasonable question. A lot of self help folks do this. Tell us what years of research has shown, then take advantage of the knowledge and make it completely unaffordable for almost everybody. Not trying to be negative but it's just what they do.
@@teruahtekiah5922 💯! It’s like you find hope with the new research only to be let down when it costs so much. Quite sad.
I had a SPECT scan in 2022. It cost about 5k, but the results changed my life. A doctor from the clinic interpreted the results, then coached me on what changes to make during several follow-up sessions (included with that initial cost). I’m still doing the work: stopped drinking, got off damaging prescriptions, go to therapy, work out, take supplements and go to hyperbaric oxygen treatments. If they hadn’t seen the areas of concern, I’d be on the road to dementia. Dr. Amen rocks. It was worth the investment.
Just sooooooooooo love, love, love, the flute player! Your messages, your songs, & singers!
I'm so glad that he said that the greatest gift that you could give to your kids is a healthy brain. (Or something like that.)
My parents have both declined the past five years. (Dementia/Alzheimer's) It's really taken a toll on me and my family. I'm 57 and have a 17 year old who's in her last year of homeschooling. I have major guilt that I haven't really "been there" for her.
I 'm determined to make her senior year the best.
She shared the link to this video with me through a text. ❤
I think this is the best think i have ever watch it, it change my though more clearer and couraged me to change myself 😭✨
Super informative and inspiring information from Dr. Amen. Thank you both.
Both of you are wonderful, thank you🙏❤
❤I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! Sheer pleasure! Thank you Rich!
What amazing conversation. I've learned a lot today. Thank you 🙏
As an ADHD person with Chiari Malformation, I truly appreciate this so much.
This was a great conversation with so much great information. Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed it and got some great takeaways. I didn’t feel like anyone interrupted anyone too much at all. Just great dialog. Can’t wait to hear about your brain scan results, Rich!!
Thank you both so very much! Loved the conversation. Very helpful.
I love this Dr. And i believe he is right.
Beautiful and informative discussion by two smart and authentic men who made my day. It's not often that I get a mellow feeling after so much brain activity. Ah-h-h!
Wonderful interview thanks!!!
I really love and appreciate rich, he doesn't interrupt too much. I enjoyed this interview and I learned alot in this interview
It would be amazing to find more psychiatrist willing to look at the brain, it’s always just trying all kinds of meds.
This episode is solid gold. Absolutely the most beneficial, informative, and hopeful presentation I've seen anywhere regarding fundamental brain health. Who knew? Thank you, Dr. Amen, thank you, Rich.
Fantastic episode! Thank you.
That was awesome!!! Thank for you both!!
Typing this not to pick on people but rather to tell you is possible. I suffered from panic attacks for some time but I conquered them and haven't had one in 2 years and I also hated life, I don't doubt that some people have it worse and there is something else that is causing them, like brain damage or something, but for me what worked was the following: changed my diet to a healthy diet, myself talk is positive, I practice gratefulness, box breathing, I have a sleeping routine, I only drink alcohol about once per month, exercise, read every day and practice meditation. Now this might sound like a lot but the alternative is a miserable life so you pick yours.
Rich - you are awesome! Do a brain scan and then another episode to reveal and evaluate it.
I absolutely loved this podcast topic. I learned of Dr Amen today on another podcast. Then I found this more in depth longer dialogue. I'm so grateful from beginning to end the content has deeply encouraged me.
Fascinating. Thank you!
Rich that was a great question when you referred to not knowing if you could “catch up “ from all the damage you did in your earlier life……🤙👊
When he talked about his nephew and started to cry I began to cry to thinking about my own son.
Excellent podcast! Very insightful and I learned so much. Thank you! 🙏
Making money should be a routine. The secret to making a million is making better investment.
Please who is the consultant that assist you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch if you don't mind
Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance
one of the best general health podcasts ever ! , wow how fascinating brain function is !
I'm a mom and I really needed to hear them. Thank you both ❤
Wow, this podcast/episode's amazing. So insightful and I loved listening to you both. Great guest, great host!
I watched tbe video to improve my english language skills. The video gave me many vocabularies and a lot of expressions, and now I have a bit knowlage about mental health.
Thank you for this podcast.
Wow, this video is pure gold! So informative and well presented! 👏
If I may also, it is not just the brain that affects our moods and behaviors, it is the heart, the digestive system and cellular memory.
We put various organs on pedestals and the truth is we have to be capable of wider views, though I am aware of time limits on podcasts.
🙏
Thank you for this. It is golden information ad I sincerely hope all medical professionals are exposed to this.
Loved this, so helpful!
Amazing podcast! I'm listening to this at 4am trying to get back to sleep, and am so impressed, that I've deliberately woken myself to full alertness to comment on it. 🔥
This was just fantastic - so thankful i came across it. Subscribed!
@richroll - I honestly am so worried also. After being an alcoholic, the one thing I have been doing is focusing on it but then I slip because I lose hope. It’s 100% conflicting.
I fell off the top of football stadium at the age of 3. They say I landed on my feet. Never finish anything much...now I know
It did affect me. Thank you Dr. Amen
thanks I'm on the look out for information on Alzheimers
I only hope and pray that we can allow the poor people to get help with this technology----and have access to it so that we can collectively be more unified in helping each other
Thank you💯💥💯
thank u for sharing this am sure it helped a ton of people and so far i haven't seen anyone else talk about it which leads me to believe it's because "a healthy person means no profit for the medical industry"
Really Rich, you are a master of not interrupting 👍
I NEED TO TALK TO THIS MAN! I’m suffering from BEHAVIORAL SYMPTOMS NOT LACK OF HONOR OR MOTIVATION OR STRENGTH. Wow… and this is so clear to me after watching this. I have to find a way to see this man! Anyone know a way I can write to him?! I guarantee he’d be interested in using my story as a reference for his brilliance!
Rich, excellent episode thank you
wonderful interview with Dr. Amen!
You are so thoughtful and skillful thanks
That was awesome. My brain's name is Gloria😂
This was soooo good. Thank you
"We either win or learn" powerful
God bless you both for sharing the best information ever 🙏🙏🙏
