AMEN!! I can attest to food as medicine. I was diagnosed with autoimmune disease starting with IBS at age 18, then Graves’ disease at age 41 and MS at age 49. Took me a few years to heal with diet and nutrition but here I am at 57 and medication free no longer sick. I keep everything under control with FOOD and Vitamins and try to keep my stress levels low!!
Wow! What an encouraging comment. ♥️ I just got diagnosed with Parkinsons at an age of 42 I will try to stay away from medication as long as I can but will have to have a close look into my nutrition.

10 Simple Rules to Guarantee a Healthier Life.... 1) Only love foods that love you back 2) Consume high quality foods, but not too much of them (go for the highest-quality foods you can consume & don't eat too much of them; think, "Does this serve my health or does it hurt it?" before you eat it. 3) hydrate your body and brain with 8 glasses of water a day (body=70% water, brain=80% water) 4) Eat high quality protein at every meal (it helps balance your blood sugar), such as fish, lamb, turkey, pork, nuts, etc. 5) Eat & cook with high-quality fat (60% of brain is fat). 6) Go for smart carbs not dumb carbs (smart=low glycemic, high fiber, no fake coloring...dumb=pasta, bread, potatos) 7) use herbs & spices like medicine (cloves, oregano, parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, sage, turmeric, ginger, cayenne pepper, et al) 8) Make your food as "clean" as possible (read the label) 9) Eliminate potential allergens (if you don't know your allergens, elimate gluten, dairy, corn, soy, artifical dyes & sweeteners, msg) 10) If you don't have hypoglycemia, employ intermittent fasting. (don't eat 2-3 hours before bedtime) BONUS 11) Find a routine that works for you and use it (and find 24 healthy foods you LOVE) NOTE: It REALLY helps to listen to the entire video because there are little nuggets of wisdom interspersed throughout.
I love that you mention eating foods that love you back. Every time my children try a healthy meal that I made and exclaim, "Mom, I love this food!" I always respond with "Good, because it loves you!"
Best advice , I never drink my calories!!! I must say I have been health conscious for 20 years. Drink about 40oz of water a day. Im 57, just started a new job in a different field and no one knows my age. I look better than the 40 year olds. Watch what you eat or you are going to have health issues!! Don't be afraid of dying be afraid I living with poor health and suffering
So important. If you have a toxic relationship with people, you let them go. If you have a toxic relationship with certain foods, you let them go. Simple. Loving yourself starts with what you put in your body.
@@beautifullady2637 Wouldn’t it be those who love themselves chase what makes them feel good? I.e the junk food. It’s when we deny ourselves and do what’s best for our bodies is when we can make the correct change.
So sorry for your loss Dr. Amen, he must have been so proud of you and your work and your contributions to humanity!!!! God bless you and your family!!!🙏🏽✌🏽🥰
My nervous breakdown was helped by removing GLUTEN COMPLETELY from my diet . I was having 7 panic attacks a day for a year and lost 42 pounds. Not on purpose. Removing GLUTEN STOPPED MY INTERNAL SHAKING and calmed my entire body down. This may sound weird but I swear my eyesight got better !!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️💯🙌✊
I love that he keeps it real. Hope the world of medicine will start taking his approach. Diet and scans of the brain should be the first thing observed in regards to mental health.
I taught basic nutrition to patients in the psychiatric department. One gentleman put everything I taught into practice. His diet had loads of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and quality protein. His depression disappeared. He later paid a visit during my class and brought us a fruit basket. I also told people not to juice because that's throwing away the best part.
When we moved to Florida I had debilitating allergies. My allergy doctor felt that many people in mental hospitals etc were there from allergies and poor nutrition. Gluten and processed food was what was making them ill. Now think about institutional food.
Rules, my version of this video: 1. Only love foods that love you back. 😅 Don't eat stuff that hurts you. (But remember: a chicken will never love you...!) 2. Eat foods with high calories but not too much of them. Calories matter! Pay attention! Don't drink your calories! Stay away from soda, juice and bread! 3. Hydrate! Drink water! (Drink water with a little lemon and/or apple cider vinegar if you need to loose weight, have problems with reflux or thyroid...) 4. Eat high quality protein with every meal. (Beware of factory farmed meat!!!! Quality protein is lentils, hemp, fish (wild, not factory farmed), eggs (only from free chickens outside, treated well) Eat wild meat if you have to. Kill a moose if you dare. 😆 5. Use quality fats. Fats don't make you fat. Olive oil, avocado oil and coconut oil is the best. Seafood. Nuts. You can cook with olive oil, but not stir fry. 6. Go for smart carbs and get rid och the bad ones. Colourful. Low gi. Bread, pasta, rice and potatoes are not good; eat only very little and seldom or (better) not at all. Cloves! Rosemary. Cinnemon. Oregano. Sage. Walnuts. Go for stuff with anti oxidants! 7. Use herbs and spices like medicine. Saffron! Curcumin. Turmeric with black pepper! Chili. Ginger. 8. Make your food as clean as posssible. Avoid artificial and processed foods. 9. Eliminate soy, corn, gluten, dairy, sugar, artificial sweetener to see if you have an allergy. Food matters! 10. Intermittent fasting. Try 18/6 (18 h fasting, 6 h eating window 2 or 3 meals. Or 16/8.) Teenagers are insane. They will never listen to reason... 😅 But he had a good approach. You have to discuss with them as if they are adults; with respect and lead them so they think it's their own suggestion to eat well... 🤣🎣
are carbs really that bad? Wholemeal rice, bread and pasta are staples for many societies around the world- that's quite a big statement to make. Everyday I eat things like oats, wholemeal bread, brown rice, brown pasta, bananas and sweet potato
Thanxxxxx so much. The pandemic was declared officially on my birthday so i took it very personally. In 17 months i have lost 45.5 lbs. I take supplements as in D3, zinc, minerals, collagen, omega 3, and eat much better quality foods. Intermittent fasting has changed my life. I have no more inflammation, i have energy and a strength i never knew. I'm happy and more intelligent ( jeopardy show!) and creative. I'm 68 years young, married 44 years. My husband is off heart medication for arrhythmia. We're getting along so well. Healthy body, healthy mind, healthy 💖= happiness. It's doable with the help of you generous caring smart people !! 👏👍✌️🙌💞
Several months late, but condolences on your dad. You have been an inspiration in my life for years. I still have a long way yet to go, but I refuse to give up. Thank you for your dedication and service to the betterment of mankind.
Very sorry for the loss of your dad. I was very touched by your relationship with your dad and how you helped him with his health. So nice to hear how he listened to you. What a beautiful connection you have with your family - and the people you have helped. You are truly a blessing!
Good evening Dr. I am 70 years old from Penang Island Malaysia My last canned drink was 40 years ago I love my HEALTH too much to let food n canned drinks to have control over it I am non medicated And hope to keep it that way for a long time. TQ for sharing your life’s EXPERTISE N EXPERIENCES with us. Stay Safe TQ again wishing everyone Love, Peace n Harmony 👋🇲🇾
Sorry for the loss of your Dad. Angels be with you and your family to wrap all with wings of comfort. Your Dad is Rejoicing in Paradise. A wonderful place filled with rose pink deep unconditional love and glorious heavenly peace ❤️🍁👍💪😇🙏
Thank you Daniel I'm feeling so blessed to have found you and having you in my life making sense of living with a healing heathy brain the one God blessed me with .Amen
Dr. Amen please consider a study of teachers counselors and pastor type individuals. I was blessed to be a counselor during my military career and I know my brain was/is effected by caring for those that don't always care about themselves due to various reasons. I call it the Care for the Care Giver Syndrome (co-dependency on steroids). I believe this syndrome is growing as many family members and others are in care giver's positions and as result the care giver may pass away before the person they are caring for. Thank you and God Bless you and your family today and always! Mercy Grace & Peace! AAAmen!
I really appreciate what you do I was born in Seattle and grew up in Redmond. I have had stomach problems. I have hemochromatosis along with my family What you eat absolutely makes a difference. I never liked beef except for an occasional Bugermaster burger. But just the thought of certain foods made me sick. I primarily ate salmon, chicken, pheasant, and any bird. I only liked the skin of the potato, nothing mashed everything had to be sold clean no sauce I feel good now and my food habits have helped me with Rheumatoid arthritis, organ transplant and now kidney failure, chronic pancreatitues. I feel good !! Also I love water that is all I drink. I will continue to watch and enjoy your videos Thank you
Dr. Amen, I heard a lady who works in AZ, who practices your programs with her patients. That is when I realized; I must learn more about your programs. I will be getting your books and try to help my health. Thank u so much.
Great advice. I'm starting to lean more towards just live your life to the fullest, mostly healthy, a little naughty. Life is short. My main focus is LOVE, de-stressing, breathing, hydrating, fresh air, rest, relaxation, good food that my body needs. No need to overthink it. But I realize the US is a crazy place, not comparable to where I come from. You have to work a lot harder to cut through all the bs. For example, what public schools serve kids for lunch.... how are they even surviving childhood with that kind of standard? It's so sad.
Dear Doctor Amen I am deeply sorry for your loss, I lost my dad back in January because of Covid, I feel for you and I know how hard it is to lose a loved one, God bless you.
I find eating to live instead of living to eat quite adequate. If you start obsessing over calories that's when your mind starts focussing on food instead of life. I love your concept does the food you feed your body love you. It's simple it's not obsessive it's about self care. I never diet. I just eat healthy as my body guides me. I value & respect myself. I have found that quality protein truly does stabilise my blood sugar so l simply don't obsess over food. My weight stays balanced lm happy l don't get moody it works for me. Having said all the above l add many years ago l educated myself regarding nutrition & l do pay attention to new information & update my knowledge of nutrition as new information becomes available. But honestly obsession over food is unhealthy. MY ADVICE IS DONT LIVE TO EAT. EAT TO LIVE. Thank you for all the good information that you share it's really needed in today's world. PEACE 🙏 & LOVE TO YOU.
I have been on a learning curve re self care for most of my life. My intro to essential oils have changed my life. The more I learn, the more i study. I have found so many things about my food choices that were sabotaging me. I love the nuggets I have learned, and your talk was very helpful. thank you! Sharing!
Dr AMEN, I am so glad to find you here!👏 I was listening to you on PBS TV Public station, I love your honesty, your incredible knowledge about the Brain, I think Brain health is Crucial for a total Body health. Thank you for going more closely to public like this. God Bless you and your family!🙏
I have had the exact same situation cholesterol wise so I appreciated your honesty about the topic. My doctors are always automatically recommending medication, and then I point out my risk factors are extremely low. They agree and then they forget about it. It is surprising how many doctors are either uninformed or just go along with conventions.
I have sugar problems hypoglycemia, and going on a plant based diet helped balance all of it. I am no longer have horrible cravings for bad sugar. I was pre-diabetic at age 30 with 49kg with 164cm. Now I m 42 56kg with 164 cm, and I'm working out every day no diabetes no symptoms of hypoglycemia.
Thank you Dr Amen, I've just found you! I gave up gluten, cows milk and yeast in 2001, long before such things were well known. It was difficult, but over 30 of my lifelong symptoms cleared up so it was worthwhile. I've never cheated because it isn't worth it Most significantly, I lost a lifetime of depression and mood swings and saved my marriage. I thought I'd be better in a month and didn't dream it would be forever. After one month I tried dairy again. That night I lay in bed wondering whether it would be better to throw myself under a train or shoot myself. That was when the penny dropped - my depression (since the age of 7) was tied up with dairy. I've never looked back. Unfortunately I didn't at that point give up all unhealthy foods, and continued eating sugar in home baked gluten free treats. In 2016 I received a complex autoimmune diagnosis. After trying and hating the side effects of the ghastly medications I was prescribed, I upped the level of my diet. I've now cut out all starch, processed foods and sugar (except whole fruit). For a while I even cut out eggs, goats milk and several other foods while my gut healed, but I'm now so much better and virtually medication free. I sometimes feel I should write a book on this life changing experience. Thank you for bringing this to the public. My life changed and I want to tell the world!
I learned on my own. Once I learned to eat in a time limited manner, my groceries were easier to get. Then I was able to get in every food line in my city and learned to preserve my foods. It takes incredible discipline and focus, but I wanted to live, and my kidneys were not in agreement. Once i became plant focused my kidneys began to heal. I lost 80 pounds and got my life back. And most of the changes happened in 8-9 months.
That is a misconception that poor people can’t eat healthy. I made a wonderful salad yesterday and the total cost was .98c. I also did a grass fed roast with all organic veggies. It was $5.79 a serving so if using conventional meat, non organic or home grown veggies then the price would be about half that. So for less than $4 you could have a great meal and it’s cheaper than fast food. A roasted chicken would be even cheaper. Cook with real food and it will be less expensive.
Dr Amen this was truly wonderful! I would love to know your stance on the following. 1. Tap water - is it really that bad for the brain, due to fluoride? Particularly baby and toddler brains? Is a water filtration system a worthy investment? I’m in Australia. 2. Formula - what else are babies meant to consume if not formula? From what you’ve said I deduce that formula is also harmful. 3. Sparkling water - is it ok for a 2 year old? 4. Coffee/caffeine? You didn’t mean anything about this, it’s a huge part of people’s lifestyles and diets 5. Re what you said about juicing, I had no idea! I thought juicing oranges was good for my toddler and baby. Is the same negative effects you described of juicing fruits, true for veg? 6. Fruit like banana, mandarin, mango - are these good to consume? Trying to find alternatives to giving my toddler a piece of toast God bless Dr!
What I loved the most about your video was when you said you can do this. That's really encouraging. Oh I love that you wrote your dad a poem. I'd love to hear the poem
The statement about the man that ate corn and had a vision of putting a gun in his mouth after 20 minutes. That's real for me! For me it is wheat! I call them my wheat hell holes! When you have a sensitivity to food like that, it puts you into a form of psychosis. It feels real. The terrible thoughts, the suffocating in your body, uncontrollable crying and despair. Wheat destroyed my life for a year and I fantasized jumping in front of a bus everyday while waiting for the right bus to get me to work. I knew I needed nutrition, so I went raw vegan! Within two weeks I felt like a new person! I added some bread back in, homemade sourdough at that! I woke up the next day crying all over again! That's when it clicked that it was the wheat! I tell my story as much as I can because I can only imagine how many people are suffering the way I did because of an ingredient in our food that we eat for almost every meal! I am not a raw vegan now, but I have stayed vegan and gluten free for 3 years now! I have dabbled with wheat a few times over the years and it always ends in utter disaster! Fun fact, I worked at Olive Garden and was eating their food when I spiraled out of control!
That’s so interesting, thanks for sharing. One time I fasted too many days in a row and have mild anxiety ever since. It’s so weird, but the extreme calorie deprivation broke something somewhere. So annoyed but I was trying to get into ketosis. Oops
It is true that food can work like medicine. My sister in law cured her hashimoto with low-carbon diet, specificaly tailored to her condition. She was in a very bad shape few years ago, now all symptoms like chronic fatigue, hormonal problems, anxiety etc - gone! she is full of bean, and her 'diet' become rather a style of life, not only for her but for the whole family. Very inspiring. It's amazing how changing eating habits and food choices work and make you feel better.
@@mengyunli152 She started with several days of fasting and drinking only special nutritional shakes to DETOXIFY THE BODY. After the detoxification she started introducing a few differents/ foods a day, like veg, meat, dairy, fats... and OBSERVING HER REACTION on different foods/ingredients. For example Kale made her sick, and her dietitian explained her that people with hashimoto shouldn't eat kale at all and be very very careful with brussel sprouts, spinach and broccoli. This things are considered as 'super healthy foods' for most of the people, but not recomended in big amounts for those who have hashimoto, because they can mess up with thyroid. In General her diet is a low carb diet, based mainly on vegetables - raw and coocked, (alot :))) plus proteins from meat / eggs and 'good' fats. The specific rule given by her dietitian is 'one kind of animal protein in one day', for example on Monday she eats beef for lunch and dinner, so she does not eat pork, poultry, fish or eggs on that day, only beef. On Tues she eats eggs (fried, scambled, cooked) so no other meats or fish or chicken on that day. This way her stomach enzymes can deal with only one type of animal protein at once and digest them completely, without clutering the intestines with noisome residues. Optionally it could be 'one kind of animal protein in one meal' with a several hours gap between meals. So combination like Lasagnia with Beef and Cheese or fried Eggs with Becon are not the best choices to eat often. Other sources of protein, plant-based like nuts, lentiles, chickpeas, beans, could be eaten anytime and combined with anything. She avoids eating wheat and 'white' , high glicemic foods like bread, rice, pasta, and sugar (any sugars, brown or white) . She makes easy-and -delicious low-carb bread using mixture of ground oats, flaxeeds, sunflowerseeds, nuts, chia sseeds plus eggs whites. After the detoxification she discovered some sensitivity / intolerance of cow milk, so she avoids some diary products like cow milk, cream or cheese, but Butter is OK for her, aswel as goat cheese, yogurt and milk. Its is her personal condition, not a general rule of this particular 'hashimoto' diet, but it's worth to give some attention to possible intolerances and consult it with your doctor. Good Fats are important sources of energy in low carb diet, so she uses olive /walnut /sesame oil , cold pressed rapeseed oil, avocado or coconut oil, butter, ghee, etc, not so much soya, sunflower or canola oils because they are often GMO or not healthy for cooking. 'Sweet treats' are mostly some fresh and dried fruits, or deserts like 'coconut milk and chia seeds' gelly with fruit muss, pancakes or cakes based on ground almonds/nuts flower with eggs plus some fruits or nuts (dried fruits, fresh pears, apples, peaches, all sorts of beries, fruity musses or gellies), sweettened with stevia or a bit of honey or maple syrup or a pinch coconut sugar. Yum! Important components in her diet are fermented foods, sour cabage, veg picles, yogurts, with active bacterias, a bit of some of it everyday. It is to keep stomach microbiom rich and healthy. Of course hydration is super important aswel, so alot of water and all sorts of teas, black, green, and herbal (!!!) no more than one-two coffies a day, not so much fruit juices full of fruit sugars, but few times a week she drinks fresly pressed vegetable juices (for example carrot +apple + selery+beetroot) or other combinations. Smoothies are good too, but not made with kale, spinach etc, as I explained above. This style of eating requires some changes in eating habits and some creativity, it includes great variety of ingredients and only some particular things to avoid, making some swabs. Meals are simple but full of tastes, flavours, spices, and really finger-licking, like fried eggs served with cooked green lentils sprinkled with olive oil, green parsley and garlic, beef stek or burger plus green bean/carrot/ asparagus with garlic and dill butter or some salad.... etc. 'Low carb' diet is not only healthy but also fulfilling and satisfying, and recently it's getting quite popular, so there are hundreds of easy-to-cook recepies in internet and dedicated cook-books. The important thing in her style of eating is avoiding higly processed 'convenient' food and fast foods, preparing meals at home using good ingredients. And because the rest of the family likes her meals, it benefits all, just all family is learning to cook and eat healthier. We cannot afford eating all-organic, but we buy these organic stuff that are used daily in big amounts and are not much more expensive, like carrots, legumes, green veg, organic potatoes, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers etc... and free-range poultry, beef and lamb, from grass feed animals. and as much as possible we avoid products well known as the most GMO modified like corn, soya, canola, GMO potatoes... It is worth to try and see how much the health and energy level improves, within weeks! Even the simplest version of this diet, with elimination/reduction of 'white carbs', alone, makes a big difference in how you feel and look, it changes mood and gives this feel-good vibes :))) I hope it helps and I wish you the greatest health possible, and having alot of joy and fun exploring low-carb style of eating, if you choose to give it a try. Cheers!
I am so sorry you lost your dad Dr. Amen. This video was the most helpful video I have ever watched. I found you on TikTok and was so happy you popped up when I clicked on YT. You give the best advice and help without sounding arrogant for sure like you said and I really appreciate that. I have learned so much from listening to you. Thank you or what you do.
My husband is 15 yrs Alzheimer’s/dementia eating minimal processed food, 70% whole food plant based dairy/gluten limited. Is doing amazing healthy weight. We have used meds not typical for Alzheimer’s and great diet and supplement with 2 ensure plus. So a huge improvement of cognitive and thought process
I think we just need to check in with our own bodies what food it needs . 🤗 We are all so different that there is not any one rule that is good for all of us . I love my food . I don't eat it unless I'm really enjoying it , than I'm alignment with my food . 😋 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I really liked your TED talk, in fact I found it profound. I was so excited to call and find out how I could become a patient and get my brain scanned. After being addicted to drugs for 17 years I knew I had done some damage to my brain and was having some residual effects. Been clean now for almost 7 years. But I must admit, the cost of the scans and treatment plan were impossible for me to afford. I’m on Medicaid and so “low income.” So while your studies on the brain are revolutionary (I can truly see that), they are not accessible to all people. Sadly, not at all accessible to me. Thank you.
try to save a little at a time... also, a good chiropractor can also help with nutrition. The Weston Price Foundation is an excellent place for nutritional healing!! It has been wonderful. (coming from someone who is a single parents of three who has been on assistance and got to get some help from Amen Clinics)
All these you tubers that claim they no more than “traditional medical” providers are only accessible to those with a lot of $$$. Never take insurance, always charge outrageous fees. Self serving.
@@doctork1708 That's not why it's like that. anybody in the healthcare industry that is a pioneer in a certain area that hasn't been done before, they are not able to get insurance to cover their practices. It is because healthcare insurance companies require that only "research-based practices" that have been proven effective, (according to multiple studies), are allowed to charge insurance. Or I should say insurance chooses to cover.
Only rich people +/- w good insurance get brain scans. U know it almost doesnt matter tho. Dr Amens videos are so fantastic and his suggestions for brain health and aging are fantastic for everyone. Just know if u follow his advice your brain will heal. It doesnt matter what it looks like it will get better. Sugar is my biggest vice now tho ive had worse ones. I just do the best i can and try to make good healthy choices. Do i still have a few cookies yep..but Dr Amen is my beacon towards better health.
Try monk fruit for a sweetener, just the pure monk fruit. It’s a more friendly sweetener that doesn’t spike blood sugars and also doesn’t mess with our microbiome. Also, I very sorry for the loss of your Dad (although it’s been months now), I am sure you think about him daily ♥️
I do home health care have a client who is in her 90's who overcame smoking and drinking but eats alot of sugar does not feel good .has high blood pressure cuz of all the sugar...thank you for all the great info
Absolutely I agree food is medicine And I don’t believe in prescriptions of drugs which gives side effects just put a Band-Aid on the problem not solving the problem
@@SkullDivisioN564 Really? What she said is absolutely true. We need to find the cause of an illness and then find natural ways to prevent it. Find the cure is big pharma's mantra, just take a drug with a dozen side effects so we can prescribe you another pill and then another. So who's really the moron? Hope you are still wearing your mask and getting all your poisonous vaccines and booster shots.
You are amazing Dr. So important info what you sharing ! 👏❤️ thanks 🙏 for helping ppl. I’m watching and following your videos for years. Blessing to you and your family’s.
Recently stumbled upon an interview with you Dr. Amen and you mentioned the effects of caffeine on our brains. I'm in my mid 30s and have always said I'm never quitting coffee, but I must say you have succeeded in convincing me otherwise what really sold me was literally your name. Your name was the actual sermon 😂 honestly, I heard your message and your name enforced that it was God answering me here. For the benefit of my health, Daniel = reminded me of the Daniel fast which is healthy living and Amen was just a full stop and seal to that for me. I can't just trust God to heal me, I need to start making healthy choices intentionally everyday. And so.. I'm down to only one cup a day now. Started yesterday and just had my morning coffee now and that will be it for the day, I have asked God for grace in this discipline and I'm certain He will provide as always. Thank you Dr. Daniel Amen 🙏🏽🇿🇦 much respect God bless you and yours for all you are contributing in the lives of people like me.
G♡D: "I have given you every herb bearing seed for Your medicine!" And now He uses a Amen Dr. that reveals His truth in nutrition, prevention & healing back to balance by extending to us a receivable, knowledgeable state of thriving!!! Again,I say, AMEN.🙏

@@constancegaun6689 You are all so welcome! shhh...Don't tell anyone what a nerd I am. Let it be our secret! lol
I love that you mention eating foods that love you back. Every time my children try a healthy meal that I made and exclaim, "Mom, I love this food!" I always respond with "Good, because it loves you!"
What a nice tip to do with the children! Love it!
Best advice , I never drink my calories!!! I must say I have been health conscious for 20 years. Drink about 40oz of water a day. Im 57, just started a new job in a different field and no one knows my age. I look better than the 40 year olds. Watch what you eat or you are going to have health issues!!

Yes.
@@beautifullady2637 Wouldn’t it be those who love themselves chase what makes them feel good? I.e the junk food. It’s when we deny ourselves and do what’s best for our bodies is when we can make the correct change.
What if you can't let go of toxic people at the moment? I care for an elderly patient that demeans me, calling me horrible names. But I have to work.
So sorry for your loss Dr. Amen, he must have been so proud of you and your work and your contributions to humanity!!!! God bless you and your family!!!🙏🏽✌🏽🥰
My nervous breakdown was helped by removing GLUTEN COMPLETELY from my diet .
I was having 7 panic attacks a day for a year and lost 42 pounds. Not on purpose.
Removing GLUTEN STOPPED MY INTERNAL SHAKING and calmed my entire body down.
This may sound weird but I swear my eyesight got better !!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️💯🙌✊
Less inflammation ❤️
You inspired us. You are a hero ! Thx for sharing.
Me too. You are not alone.
Thank you for advice.
Love from Serbia❤️🙏🇷🇸
Wow. I suffer from internal shaking. I’ll try removing gluten. Thanks
@@oelabed1 food allergies did that to me
This aged REALLY well. Thank you Dr. Amen, god bless you.
I love that he keeps it real. Hope the world of medicine will start taking his approach. Diet and scans of the brain should be the first thing observed in regards to mental health.
Oh I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. My hearth is with yours. Prayers for you, your mom, and your family.
I taught basic nutrition to patients in the psychiatric department. One gentleman put everything I taught into practice. His diet had loads of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and quality protein. His depression disappeared. He later paid a visit during my class and brought us a fruit basket. I also told people not to juice because that's throwing away the best part.
Thx for sharing!!!
I HAVE PHELM IN MY THROTH ASHMATIC I STARTED NOSE BREATHING
ANY IDEA'S
When we moved to Florida I had debilitating allergies. My allergy doctor felt that many people in mental hospitals etc were there from allergies and poor nutrition. Gluten and processed food was what was making them ill. Now think about institutional food.
So thankful for Dr. Amen's mission to get to the bottom of things and simply tell the truth. A man of great integrity!
Rules, my version of this video:
1. Only love foods that love you back. 😅 Don't eat stuff that hurts you. (But remember: a chicken will never love you...!)
2. Eat foods with high calories but not too much of them. Calories matter! Pay attention! Don't drink your calories! Stay away from soda, juice and bread!
3. Hydrate! Drink water! (Drink water with a little lemon and/or apple cider vinegar if you need to loose weight, have problems with reflux or thyroid...)
4. Eat high quality protein with every meal. (Beware of factory farmed meat!!!! Quality protein is lentils, hemp, fish (wild, not factory farmed), eggs (only from free chickens outside, treated well) Eat wild meat if you have to. Kill a moose if you dare. 😆
5. Use quality fats. Fats don't make you fat. Olive oil, avocado oil and coconut oil is the best. Seafood. Nuts. You can cook with olive oil, but not stir fry.
6. Go for smart carbs and get rid och the bad ones. Colourful. Low gi. Bread, pasta, rice and potatoes are not good; eat only very little and seldom or (better) not at all. Cloves! Rosemary. Cinnemon. Oregano. Sage. Walnuts. Go for stuff with anti oxidants!
7. Use herbs and spices like medicine. Saffron! Curcumin. Turmeric with black pepper! Chili. Ginger.
8. Make your food as clean as posssible. Avoid artificial and processed foods.
9. Eliminate soy, corn, gluten, dairy, sugar, artificial sweetener to see if you have an allergy. Food matters!
10. Intermittent fasting. Try 18/6 (18 h fasting, 6 h eating window 2 or 3 meals. Or 16/8.)
Teenagers are insane. They will never listen to reason... 😅 But he had a good approach. You have to discuss with them as if they are adults; with respect and lead them so they think it's their own suggestion to eat well... 🤣🎣
So helpful!
except when dehydrated juice needed
Thank you Dr, Daniel, your God sent to earth to help humans ,
are carbs really that bad? Wholemeal rice, bread and pasta are staples for many societies around the world- that's quite a big statement to make. Everyday I eat things like oats, wholemeal bread, brown rice, brown pasta, bananas and sweet potato
Thank you Lotta T.

Thank you so much for that!
What about peanut butter
Thanxxxxx so much. The pandemic was declared officially on my birthday so i took it very personally. In 17 months i have lost 45.5 lbs. I take supplements as in D3, zinc, minerals, collagen, omega 3, and eat much better quality foods. Intermittent fasting has changed my life. I have no more inflammation, i have energy and a strength i never knew. I'm happy and more intelligent ( jeopardy show!) and creative. I'm 68 years young, married 44 years. My husband is off heart medication for arrhythmia. We're getting along so well. Healthy body, healthy mind, healthy 💖= happiness. It's doable with the help of you generous caring smart people !! 👏👍✌️🙌💞
You're obviously a very intelligent person. May G bless you and your family
The most reasonable approach to mental health. Love this doctor.
Several months late, but condolences on your dad. You have been an inspiration in my life for years. I still have a long way yet to go, but I refuse to give up. Thank you for your dedication and service to the betterment of mankind.
"God walks on the wings of the wind", by His grace I have understanding. Thank you lord.
Very sorry for the loss of your dad. I was very touched by your relationship with your dad and how you helped him with his health. So nice to hear how he listened to you. What a beautiful connection you have with your family - and the people you have helped. You are truly a blessing!
Good evening Dr.

Thank you Daniel I'm feeling so blessed to have found you and having you in my life making sense of living with a healing heathy brain the one God blessed me with .Amen
So sorry for ur loss. Prayers your heart feels the joy of his love now & always.
Dr. Amen please consider a study of teachers counselors and pastor type individuals. I was blessed to be a counselor during my military career and I know my brain was/is effected by caring for those that don't always care about themselves due to various reasons. I call it the Care for the Care Giver Syndrome (co-dependency on steroids). I believe this syndrome is growing as many family members and others are in care giver's positions and as result the care giver may pass away before the person they are caring for. Thank you and God Bless you and your family today and always! Mercy Grace & Peace! AAAmen!
I really appreciate what you do
I was born in Seattle and grew up in Redmond. I have had stomach problems. I have hemochromatosis along with my family
What you eat absolutely makes a difference. I never liked beef except for an occasional Bugermaster burger. But just the thought of certain foods made me sick. I primarily ate salmon, chicken, pheasant, and any bird. I only liked the skin of the potato, nothing mashed everything had to be sold clean no sauce
I feel good now and my food habits have helped me with Rheumatoid arthritis, organ transplant and now kidney failure, chronic pancreatitues. I feel good !! Also I love water that is all I drink. I will continue to watch and enjoy your videos Thank you
Old post but my condolences for your loss.
Humility is required to learn the deepest truths!! Thank you!!
Dr. Amen, I heard a lady who works in AZ, who practices your programs with her patients. That is when I realized; I must learn more about your programs. I will be getting your books and try to help my health. Thank u so much.
"You can do this!" I needed that reassurance.
Watching from South Africa....awesome. message...you have made your dad proud
Dr Amen you are, one of a kind...I have been on Paleo for several years, and always into my health, one day at a time, Thank You Very Much!🌹
Great advice. I'm starting to lean more towards just live your life to the fullest, mostly healthy, a little naughty. Life is short. My main focus is LOVE, de-stressing, breathing, hydrating, fresh air, rest, relaxation, good food that my body needs. No need to overthink it.
But I realize the US is a crazy place, not comparable to where I come from. You have to work a lot harder to cut through all the bs. For example, what public schools serve kids for lunch.... how are they even surviving childhood with that kind of standard? It's so sad.
Dear Doctor Amen I am deeply sorry for your loss, I lost my dad back in January because of Covid, I feel for you and I know how hard it is to lose a loved one, God bless you.
I find eating to live instead of living to eat quite adequate. If you start obsessing over calories that's when your mind starts focussing on food instead of life.
I love your concept does the food you feed your body love you. It's simple it's not obsessive it's about self care. I never diet. I just eat healthy as my body guides me. I value & respect myself. I have found that quality protein truly does stabilise my blood sugar so l simply don't obsess over food. My weight stays balanced lm happy l don't get moody it works for me.
Having said all the above l add many years ago l educated myself regarding nutrition & l do pay attention to new information & update my knowledge of nutrition as new information becomes available. But honestly obsession over food is unhealthy. MY ADVICE IS DONT LIVE TO EAT. EAT TO LIVE. Thank you for all the good information that you share it's really needed in today's world. PEACE 🙏 & LOVE TO YOU.
Thanks so much Dr Amen! I’m fighting SIBO since COVID and a good diet is a must for me
Dr Amen condolence on the death of your dad. I've always been a fan of you & your wife. More power to you.
Thank you Dr Amen.
Dr Amen, you are ministering to me so much!! I hope you are filled up!! Exponential difference from small changes over time. Thank you ❣️
Doctor Amen is an amazing human being ❤❤❤
I have been on a learning curve re self care for most of my life. My intro to essential oils have changed my life. The more I learn, the more i study. I have found so many things about my food choices that were sabotaging me. I love the nuggets I have learned, and your talk was very helpful. thank you! Sharing!
Dr AMEN, I am so glad to find you here!👏 I was listening to you on PBS TV Public station, I love your honesty, your incredible knowledge about the Brain, I think Brain health is Crucial for a total Body health. Thank you for going more closely to public like this. God Bless you and your family!🙏
This was excellent and one of the best 47 minutes I have spent watching a video.
Hello how are you doing 👋😀👋👋
I totally agree with you. I continue to keep listening to it too. Over and over helps too.
Thank you Doctor Amen
Thank you Dr. Amen. I am very grateful for your helpful information. God bless!
Low carb and fat diet great better than junk food. I would like to feel better thank you dr amen god bless this man
Thank you Dr. Amen ❤️
You are sharing so much good info. I'm sorry about your Dad. I'm sure he was proud of you helping people. Peace and Comfort to you.
Thank you very much, Dr. Amen. May God bless you and continue to enlighten you. So blessed by your lesson.
Thank you for all you humanitarian services!
Oh, blueberry scrambled eggs with cinnamon = my favorite!
Thankyou.
Lots of common sense here - it’s the food - it’s the food - it’s the food!! Makes all the difference- thanks for the info 😊
Thank you,!
I have had the exact same situation cholesterol wise so I appreciated your honesty about the topic. My doctors are always automatically recommending medication, and then I point out my risk factors are extremely low. They agree and then they forget about it.
It is surprising how many doctors are either uninformed or just go along with conventions.
Mercenary
@@saronaiker4581 what?
@@ed7519 ...the way the doctors respond
I have sugar problems hypoglycemia, and going on a plant based diet helped balance all of it. I am no longer have horrible cravings for bad sugar. I was pre-diabetic at age 30 with 49kg with 164cm. Now I m 42 56kg with 164 cm, and I'm working out every day no diabetes no symptoms of hypoglycemia.
There's something about you. You have a great personality on top of being super smart! God bless!!!!
Thank you Dr Amen, I've just found you! I gave up gluten, cows milk and yeast in 2001, long before such things were well known. It was difficult, but over 30 of my lifelong symptoms cleared up so it was worthwhile. I've never cheated because it isn't worth it
Most significantly, I lost a lifetime of depression and mood swings and saved my marriage. I thought I'd be better in a month and didn't dream it would be forever.
After one month I tried dairy again. That night I lay in bed wondering whether it would be better to throw myself under a train or shoot myself. That was when the penny dropped - my depression (since the age of 7) was tied up with dairy. I've never looked back.
Unfortunately I didn't at that point give up all unhealthy foods, and continued eating sugar in home baked gluten free treats. In 2016 I received a complex autoimmune diagnosis. After trying and hating the side effects of the ghastly medications I was prescribed, I upped the level of my diet. I've now cut out all starch, processed foods and sugar (except whole fruit). For a while I even cut out eggs, goats milk and several other foods while my gut healed, but I'm now so much better and virtually medication free. I sometimes feel I should write a book on this life changing experience.
Thank you for bringing this to the public. My life changed and I want to tell the world!
Please write a book! I’d love to read it!
it would be nice to see a video for those living in poverty and how they can incorporate these principles.
I learned on my own. Once I learned to eat in a time limited manner, my groceries were easier to get. Then I was able to get in every food line in my city and learned to preserve my foods. It takes incredible discipline and focus, but I wanted to live, and my kidneys were not in agreement. Once i became plant focused my kidneys began to heal. I lost 80 pounds and got my life back. And most of the changes happened in 8-9 months.
Fast.
You can make your own food. I have a garden full of veggies. Practically free. And I know there are no pesticides etc.
Eggs and rice are cheap and gluten/dairy free.
That is a misconception that poor people can’t eat healthy. I made a wonderful salad yesterday and the total cost was .98c. I also did a grass fed roast with all organic veggies. It was $5.79 a serving so if using conventional meat, non organic or home grown veggies then the price would be about half that. So for less than $4 you could have a great meal and it’s cheaper than fast food. A roasted chicken would be even cheaper. Cook with real food and it will be less expensive.
Dr Amen this was truly wonderful! I would love to know your stance on the following.
1. Tap water - is it really that bad for the brain, due to fluoride? Particularly baby and toddler brains? Is a water filtration system a worthy investment? I’m in Australia.
2. Formula - what else are babies meant to consume if not formula? From what you’ve said I deduce that formula is also harmful.
3. Sparkling water - is it ok for a 2 year old?
4. Coffee/caffeine? You didn’t mean anything about this, it’s a huge part of people’s lifestyles and diets
5. Re what you said about juicing, I had no idea! I thought juicing oranges was good for my toddler and baby. Is the same negative effects you described of juicing fruits, true for veg?
6. Fruit like banana, mandarin, mango - are these good to consume? Trying to find alternatives to giving my toddler a piece of toast
God bless Dr!
DrAmen So sorry for your lose
Love u dr.Amen....
Really determined to help people
I love that you added with mothers love added into it, you couldn’t resist eating more slices.
What I loved the most about your video was when you said you can do this. That's really encouraging. Oh I love that you wrote your dad a poem. I'd love to hear the poem
The statement about the man that ate corn and had a vision of putting a gun in his mouth after 20 minutes. That's real for me! For me it is wheat! I call them my wheat hell holes! When you have a sensitivity to food like that, it puts you into a form of psychosis. It feels real. The terrible thoughts, the suffocating in your body, uncontrollable crying and despair. Wheat destroyed my life for a year and I fantasized jumping in front of a bus everyday while waiting for the right bus to get me to work. I knew I needed nutrition, so I went raw vegan! Within two weeks I felt like a new person! I added some bread back in, homemade sourdough at that! I woke up the next day crying all over again! That's when it clicked that it was the wheat! I tell my story as much as I can because I can only imagine how many people are suffering the way I did because of an ingredient in our food that we eat for almost every meal! I am not a raw vegan now, but I have stayed vegan and gluten free for 3 years now! I have dabbled with wheat a few times over the years and it always ends in utter disaster! Fun fact, I worked at Olive Garden and was eating their food when I spiraled out of control!
You have a great testimony. I'm trying to do a diet to prevent dementia. Corn and most mushrooms are mycotoxins. What diet/book should I follow?
Definitely wheat for me.
You keep going. I’m whole food vegan also and it has changed my life for the better. I’m getting educated and want to help others.
That’s so interesting, thanks for sharing. One time I fasted too many days in a row and have mild anxiety ever since. It’s so weird, but the extreme calorie deprivation broke something somewhere. So annoyed but I was trying to get into ketosis. Oops
I tasted a piece of pie one day and as soon as bit into it I immediately imagined I was chopping my feet off. Yeah, I didn’t taste any more pie. 😬
Thank you Doctor Ames great advice😊
Love the sparkling water idea…one little suggestion if I may, is for you to open your chest a bit.
love the food that love you back.
Malaking tulong po ito sa ating lahat at sa ating kalusugan. Big thumps up👍🥰♥️
Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Thank you in advance! ❤
It is true that food can work like medicine. My sister in law cured her hashimoto with low-carbon diet, specificaly tailored to her condition. She was in a very bad shape few years ago, now all symptoms like chronic fatigue, hormonal problems, anxiety etc - gone! she is full of bean, and her 'diet' become rather a style of life, not only for her but for the whole family. Very inspiring. It's amazing how changing eating habits and food choices work and make you feel better.
I have hoshimoto too. Could you please tell me what kind of food she eats or avoid? Pleas more info would be helpful. Thank you so much
@@mengyunli152 She started with several days of fasting and drinking only special nutritional shakes to DETOXIFY THE BODY. After the detoxification she started introducing a few differents/ foods a day, like veg, meat, dairy, fats... and OBSERVING HER REACTION on different foods/ingredients.
For example Kale made her sick, and her dietitian explained her that people with hashimoto shouldn't eat kale at all and be very very careful with brussel sprouts, spinach and broccoli. This things are considered as 'super healthy foods' for most of the people, but not recomended in big amounts for those who have hashimoto, because they can mess up with thyroid.
In General her diet is a low carb diet, based mainly on vegetables - raw and coocked, (alot :))) plus proteins from meat / eggs and 'good' fats.
The specific rule given by her dietitian is 'one kind of animal protein in one day', for example on Monday she eats beef for lunch and dinner, so she does not eat pork, poultry, fish or eggs on that day, only beef. On Tues she eats eggs (fried, scambled, cooked) so no other meats or fish or chicken on that day. This way her stomach enzymes can deal with only one type of animal protein at once and digest them completely, without clutering the intestines with noisome residues.
Optionally it could be 'one kind of animal protein in one meal' with a several hours gap between meals. So combination like Lasagnia with Beef and Cheese or fried Eggs with Becon are not the best choices to eat often.
Other sources of protein, plant-based like nuts, lentiles, chickpeas, beans, could be eaten anytime and combined with anything.
She avoids eating wheat and 'white' , high glicemic foods like bread, rice, pasta, and sugar (any sugars, brown or white) . She makes easy-and -delicious low-carb bread using mixture of ground oats, flaxeeds, sunflowerseeds, nuts, chia sseeds plus eggs whites.
After the detoxification she discovered some sensitivity / intolerance of cow milk, so she avoids some diary products like cow milk, cream or cheese, but Butter is OK for her, aswel as goat cheese, yogurt and milk. Its is her personal condition, not a general rule of this particular 'hashimoto' diet, but it's worth to give some attention to possible intolerances and consult it with your doctor.
Good Fats are important sources of energy in low carb diet, so she uses olive /walnut /sesame oil , cold pressed rapeseed oil, avocado or coconut oil, butter, ghee, etc, not so much soya, sunflower or canola oils because they are often GMO or not healthy for cooking.
'Sweet treats' are mostly some fresh and dried fruits, or deserts like 'coconut milk and chia seeds' gelly with fruit muss, pancakes or cakes based on ground almonds/nuts flower with eggs plus some fruits or nuts (dried fruits, fresh pears, apples, peaches, all sorts of beries, fruity musses or gellies), sweettened with stevia or a bit of honey or maple syrup or a pinch coconut sugar. Yum!
Important components in her diet are fermented foods, sour cabage, veg picles, yogurts, with active bacterias, a bit of some of it everyday. It is to keep stomach microbiom rich and healthy.
Of course hydration is super important aswel, so alot of water and all sorts of teas, black, green, and herbal (!!!) no more than one-two coffies a day, not so much fruit juices full of fruit sugars, but few times a week she drinks fresly pressed vegetable juices (for example carrot +apple + selery+beetroot) or other combinations. Smoothies are good too, but not made with kale, spinach etc, as I explained above.
This style of eating requires some changes in eating habits and some creativity, it includes great variety of ingredients and only some particular things to avoid, making some swabs.
Meals are simple but full of tastes, flavours, spices, and really finger-licking,
like fried eggs served with cooked green lentils sprinkled with olive oil, green parsley and garlic, beef stek or burger plus green bean/carrot/ asparagus with garlic and dill butter or some salad.... etc.
'Low carb' diet is not only healthy but also fulfilling and satisfying, and recently it's getting quite popular, so there are hundreds of easy-to-cook recepies in internet and dedicated cook-books.
The important thing in her style of eating is avoiding higly processed 'convenient' food and fast foods, preparing meals at home using good ingredients. And because the rest of the family likes her meals, it benefits all, just all family is learning to cook and eat healthier.
We cannot afford eating all-organic, but we buy these organic stuff that are used daily in big amounts and are not much more expensive, like carrots, legumes, green veg, organic potatoes, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers etc... and free-range poultry, beef and lamb, from grass feed animals.
and as much as possible we avoid products well known as the most GMO modified like corn, soya, canola, GMO potatoes...
It is worth to try and see how much the health and energy level improves, within weeks! Even the simplest version of this diet, with elimination/reduction of 'white carbs', alone, makes a big difference in how you feel and look, it changes mood and gives this feel-good vibes :)))
I hope it helps and I wish you the greatest health possible,
and having alot of joy and fun exploring low-carb style of eating, if you choose to give it a try. Cheers!
@@miras2222 Thank you sooooo much for the detailed information. Really appreciated. I am going to give it a go. Wish you and your family a happy life!

My husband is 15 yrs Alzheimer’s/dementia eating minimal processed food, 70% whole food plant based dairy/gluten limited. Is doing amazing healthy weight. We have used meds not typical for Alzheimer’s and great diet and supplement with 2 ensure plus. So a huge improvement of cognitive and thought process
The two main ingredients (after water) in Ensure Plus are corn maltodextrin and sugar. Why on earth would you consume that?
ENSURE IS GREAT 👍
I think we just need to check in with our own bodies what food it needs . 🤗
We are all so different that there is not any one rule that is good for all of us .
I love my food . I don't eat it unless I'm really enjoying it , than I'm alignment with my food . 😋 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I really liked your TED talk, in fact I found it profound. I was so excited to call and find out how I could become a patient and get my brain scanned. After being addicted to drugs for 17 years I knew I had done some damage to my brain and was having some residual effects. Been clean now for almost 7 years. But I must admit, the cost of the scans and treatment plan were impossible for me to afford. I’m on Medicaid and so “low income.” So while your studies on the brain are revolutionary (I can truly see that), they are not accessible to all people. Sadly, not at all accessible to me. Thank you.
try to save a little at a time... also, a good chiropractor can also help with nutrition. The Weston Price Foundation is an excellent place for nutritional healing!! It has been wonderful.
(coming from someone who is a single parents of three who has been on assistance and got to get some help from Amen Clinics)
All these you tubers that claim they no more than “traditional medical” providers are only accessible to those with a lot of $$$. Never take insurance, always charge outrageous fees. Self serving.
@@doctork1708 That's not why it's like that. anybody in the healthcare industry that is a pioneer in a certain area that hasn't been done before, they are not able to get insurance to cover their practices. It is because healthcare insurance companies require that only "research-based practices" that have been proven effective, (according to multiple studies), are allowed to charge insurance. Or I should say insurance chooses to cover.
Only rich people +/- w good insurance get brain scans. U know it almost doesnt matter tho. Dr Amens videos are so fantastic and his suggestions for brain health and aging are fantastic for everyone. Just know if u follow his advice your brain will heal. It doesnt matter what it looks like it will get better. Sugar is my biggest vice now tho ive had worse ones. I just do the best i can and try to make good healthy choices. Do i still have a few cookies yep..but Dr Amen is my beacon towards better health.
Ps. To Dr Amen--your dad must have been a wonderful man. He created a caring grounded wonderful man and the apple doesnt fall far from the tree.
Try monk fruit for a sweetener, just the pure monk fruit. It’s a more friendly sweetener that doesn’t spike blood sugars and also doesn’t mess with our microbiome.
Also, I very sorry for the loss of your Dad (although it’s been months now), I am sure you think about him daily ♥️
I do home health care have a client who is in her 90's who overcame smoking and drinking but eats alot of sugar does not feel good .has high blood pressure cuz of all the sugar...thank you for all the great info
Absolutely I agree food is medicine And I don’t believe in prescriptions of drugs which gives side effects just put a Band-Aid on the problem not solving the problem
What a moronic comment , you
idiot...
@@SkullDivisioN564 Really? What she said is absolutely true. We need to find the cause of an illness and then find natural ways to prevent it. Find the cure is big pharma's mantra, just take a drug with a dozen side effects so we can prescribe you another pill and then another. So who's really the moron? Hope you are still wearing your mask and getting all your poisonous vaccines and booster shots.
Hello Dr Amen. I Listened To You A Couple Of Times. I Have Learned A Few Things For My Health. Gratitude.
Prayers for you and your family during your loss. ❤️ I love your stuff! Thank you for spreading truth!

Thank you for your posts. Keeping up with yoga daily helps me eat healthy AND gives me strength and no cravings.

Thank you for sharing! This will get me started.
Thank you Dr Amen.... 🙏❤️
I did research in 1990 on food and mental health. It's been around a lot.
well done. thank you so much for pouring your heart out for this!
Recently stumbled upon an interview with you Dr. Amen and you mentioned the effects of caffeine on our brains.
I'm in my mid 30s and have always said I'm never quitting coffee, but I must say you have succeeded in convincing me otherwise what really sold me was literally your name. Your name was the actual sermon 😂 honestly, I heard your message and your name enforced that it was God answering me here. For the benefit of my health, Daniel = reminded me of the Daniel fast which is healthy living and Amen was just a full stop and seal to that for me. I can't just trust God to heal me, I need to start making healthy choices intentionally everyday. And so.. I'm down to only one cup a day now. Started yesterday and just had my morning coffee now and that will be it for the day, I have asked God for grace in this discipline and I'm certain He will provide as always.
Thank you Dr. Daniel Amen 🙏🏽🇿🇦 much respect God bless you and yours for all you are contributing in the lives of people like me.
G♡D: "I have given you every herb bearing seed for Your medicine!" And now He uses a Amen Dr. that reveals His truth in nutrition, prevention & healing back to balance by extending to us a receivable, knowledgeable state of thriving!!!
Again,I say, AMEN.🙏
