    I took my daughter into Amen’s clinic about 10 years ago. It was extremely expensive making completely out of reach for anybody who’s low income, and the people who provided the results were helpful but all roads lead to purchasing large supplies of marginal quality vitamins. I do believe that the scans reveal a lot of things and can be very helpful, but the whole thing is kind of a racket. After paying large sums of money for the scans and receiving the results, in order to go deeper, you have to spend thousands more. I wish that Dr. Amen felt that he was providing a service instead of milking the community for more cash.

      I agree DA certainly doesn’t provide a way for us to avail ourselves to the scan. I don’t really trust him 100%. He always brags about the celebrities he’s scanned and that looks bad for him also . He also does not include our faith in God and implementing prayer. He does not know everything.

Even helped me understand that changing my diet would help so much & he provides specifics, for free!
      Through him I learned that there are multiple kinds of ADD & helped my kids get PROPER diagnosis! He is doing a huge service to the world.
      He’s the only doctor I’ve ever heard talk about how impt it is to do brain scans, he is trying to make it an industry standard. I appreciate him tons.

    00:27 🧠 Your brain is involved in everything you do, and it's crucial to take care of it for better mental health.
    00:41 🚫 Avoid substances like drugs, alcohol, excessive caffeine, and excessive sugar, as they can negatively impact brain health.
    00:55 📱 Spending excessive time on social media (3.5 hours/day) can wear out the brain's pleasure centers and affect overall happiness.
    03:00 🩺 Dr. Daniel Amen's mission is to end mental illness through a revolution in brain health.
    04:22 🧠 Brain scans can reveal important information about brain health and potential issues.
    07:46 🧪 Toxins like alcohol, marijuana, mold, heavy metals, and infections can negatively affect brain health.
    09:54 🤕 Head injuries, even without hospitalization, can have long-term effects on the brain.
    11:51 🔍 Many mental health disorders are linked to brain health, and focusing on brain health can lead to significant improvements.
    13:02 🧠 ADHD can manifest differently, and understanding brain patterns can provide insights into managing it.
    16:17 🏫 Childhood experiences and family history can provide clues about ADHD and its impact on individuals.
    20:12 💡 Recognizing that you can improve your brain's function and health is empowering and can lead to positive changes.
    25:22 🏃‍♂️ Exercise, certain foods (beets, oregano, etc.), and supplements like Ginkgo can improve blood flow to the brain.
    26:43 💡 Erectile dysfunction can indicate blood flow problems throughout the body, potentially caused by factors like sedentary lifestyle, obesity, smoking, excessive caffeine, or marijuana use.
    27:24 💡 Recommended methods for improving blood flow include exercise, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and taking supplements like Ginkgo Biloba (genko).
    28:16 💡 Loneliness can accelerate brain problems and dementia; staying socially connected is crucial for mental health.
    28:28 💡 Low omega-3 fatty acid levels are prevalent (93% deficiency) and can lead to increased inflammation. Increasing omega-3 intake through fish or supplements is recommended.
    28:54 💡 Gum disease and inflammation are linked, potentially impacting mental health. Proper dental care is emphasized.
    29:22 💡 Head trauma, including concussions, can have lasting effects on brain function. Proper management and care are essential.
    29:34 💡 Toxins from substances like drugs, alcohol, and mercury, as well as common household products, can negatively affect brain health. Awareness of product ingredients is encouraged.
    31:10 💡 Mental health plays a significant role in brain development and health. Addressing negative thought patterns and traumas is crucial for overall well-being.
    32:07 💡 While medication is an option for conditions like ADHD, it should be considered alongside natural approaches. The goal is to optimize brain function.
    35:09 💡 Informed consent is key in medical decisions. Exploring various options and their pros and cons empowers individuals to make informed choices about their health.
    36:17 💡 ADHD and ADD are different terms for the same condition. Managing it with a combination of strategies tailored to the individual can lead to improved quality of life.
    42:20 💡 Overcoming negative thought patterns involves a process of self-reflection and challenging the truth of those thoughts. This habit, when practiced consistently, can lead to a more positive mindset.
    47:45 💡 Chronic, unremitting stress can have detrimental effects on the brain, including changes in hormonal levels and structural alterations in memory and learning centers.
    48:41 💡 Trauma, whether big or small, can impact brain function. The severity of the impact depends on factors like the individual's existing brain health (brain Reserve) and the type of trauma experienced.
    56:55 🧠 Dr. Daniel Amen recounts a case of a 15-year-old with severe brain damage who committed a violent act, emphasizing the importance of understanding brain health in such cases.
    58:29 🧠 Psychopaths and murderers may exhibit low frontal lobe function, but not all cases are the same; individual brain scans reveal unique patterns.
    59:11 🧠 Dr. Amen suggests that both former President Trump and President Biden might not have optimal brain health, raising questions about the mental fitness of political leaders.
    01:00:08 🧠 Discussing the potential implications of brain scanning for job assessments, Dr. Amen believes it may lead to increased scrutiny, even in lower-level positions.
    01:01:44 🧠 Dr. Amen emphasizes the importance of having a clear, specific life plan to align behavior with desired outcomes.
    01:04:17 🧠 Dr. Amen highlights the significance of positive habits in shaping brain function and behavior, stressing the impact of repeated actions on brain pathways.

    01:14:49 🧠 Dr. Amen underscores the importance of optimizing hormone levels, addressing diabesity (weight-related issues and high blood sugar), and prioritizing quality sleep for overall brain health.
    01:17:48 🧠 Breathwork, including the 15-second breathing exercise, is recommended by Dr. Amen as a simple practice to support brain health and manage anxiety.
    01:18:42 🫀 Heart rate variability (HRV) is important for health. Higher HRV indicates better heart health. Babies with high HRV are considered healthy.
    01:19:49 🍷 Alcohol can significantly lower heart rate variability. Low HRV is associated with higher risks of anxiety, depression, and heart disease.
    01:21:40 🍺 Even small amounts of alcohol can cause damage to the brain, particularly white matter. Avoiding alcohol can lead to a healthier brain.
    01:24:12 💑 Relationships and intimacy are influenced by brain function. Understanding your partner's brain type can improve intimacy and libido.
    01:33:11 ⚖️ Male and female brains function differently. Women tend to have better frontal lobe function, making them excel in impulse control, collaboration, and communication.
    01:36:22 🏋️‍♂️ Saunas and exercise are beneficial for brain health. Saunas, in particular, are linked to lower rates of Alzheimer's disease.
    01:39:09 🍔 Obesity affects brain size and function. As weight increases, brain size and function decrease. Counting calories and avoiding excessive eating is crucial.
    01:40:16 📱 Excessive screen time can negatively impact the brain, leading to increased risks of anxiety, depression, addiction, obesity, and ADHD.
    01:42:21 😔 Excessive social media use can lead to worn-out pleasure centers in the brain, contributing to mental health issues and decreased self-esteem.
    01:43:18 😔 Depression and dementia risks increase with age. Accomplishing tasks gives a sense of purpose and satisfaction in midlife.
    01:44:26 😊 Cultivating happiness is a habit. Reflecting on positive moments throughout the day can contribute to a happier outlook on life.
    01:44:55 🗓️ Scheduling habits like breath work and gratitude exercises into your calendar increases the likelihood of making them a regular part of your routine.
    01:45:24 🔄 Making small changes in diet, hydration, reducing caffeine intake, and prioritizing sleep can be transformative when turned into routines.
    01:45:36 ❓ Happiness is seen as a moral obligation, influenced by Dennis Prager's perspective. Understanding that personal happiness impacts those around you is key to personal growth and positive interactions.

    I wrote 3 wonderful pages of notes from here, that I want to remember because they are already changing my life. I too have ADHD symptoms, and had a childhood where my parents verbally fought almost daily. I never felt loved. I've lived with guilt all my life because of my hyperfocus on things I was interested in, but later found boring once I mastered them, & so I quit, thus getting labeled as unreliable by everyone. This video has helped me more than anything I've ever seen or heard online. I keep hearing you say, "It's Not Your Fault!" and you explain why. I now need to lay down the guilt I've carried, and at age 80 now make fresh decisions regarding what I will do with my time left. It's a relief to hear you say, "Do what you love ... do what you are passionate about." Here's a zillion thanky's for making this video. Kisses and hugs! Tomorrow morning my life begins a new. :)

    Alarm bells ringing: He talks with extremely high confidence, whereas most legit researchers always have tons of caveats.
    Then I go on his Wikipedia, he sells supplements based on his SPECT scans, which have not been proven to actually show what he claims they show.
    From reading the wiki, it seems his patients are paying for these scans themselves, 4000 USD, which to me sounds super problematic as the evidence is so questionable.

      @Vinvininhk 4 месяца назад +49

      Yeah. It's also funny that he quotes Dennis Prager saying "Happiness is a moral obligation". But according the original quote from Prager, he said, one should not afflict others with your "bad mood" anymore than one should affect others with your bad breath. Prager also advocated for faking it "till you make it" if you're unhappy, and then one would become happy this way. Probably not the best message to send!

    I have ADHD. When I was in law school, I used to record all the classes because often only my body was in class, but my thoughts were elsewhere, meaning I had a lot of energy, not to mention the anxiety, which makes this comorbidity even more challenging for ADHD. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 28. Until then, I wasted a lot of time with so much energy I have. Since I was diagnosed, I sought out a specialist psychologist and also a specialist doctor in ADHD (but the race was tough to find these professionals qualified in ADHD), it was the best investment for my life. After starting treatment, I started getting the best grades in college, learned to speak 2 other languages, today I can produce much more. But the struggle is constant. It is very worthwhile to seek treatment. I have the energy of a child, this is not normal, however, my doctors help me distribute all this energy so that I can produce and not procrastinate, however, the comorbidity of ADHD which also has anxiety makes everything more difficult for ADHD. Almost no one talks about people who have ADHD with comorbidity. Hugs from Brazil.

His way of speaking and approaching things look more like quackery, pseudoscience, and self help than anything else. A few minutes later he diagnoses ADHD and “a brain with toxins” based on a test that no one has ever seen before and he uses terms like “emotional brain”. I have watched enough, thanks. Happy to see in the comments many other people have spotted him quickly also.

      There’s 3 different ways I say it
      It’s the same words except I change the “myself” and “I” to “yourself” and “you” or “ourselves” and “we”.
      I usually use “ourselves” and “we” because it keeps people from comparing each other and it helps them focus on a united goal. It also helps them not get offended when I give them advice.
      I learned that either from an English class when writing an essay or from a couples therapist on RUclips. I think it was the English class.

      that "energy" is just your adrenals going into hyperdrive due to the massive spike in cortisol due to your body and brain not getting it's ideal energy source. what you should do is quit the drugs, aka coffee, and consume adequate carbohydrates. anyone who needs drugs to get through their day has a deficient diet. i used to like coffee but once you actually have enough minerals and carbs from the diet you don't crave junk like coffee, alcohol, sweetened fat like cakes, ice cream, cookies. the studies are there, sugar is demonized because healthy people don't become life long patients = money. it's actually excess dietary fat that causes diabetes. I quit caffeine, eat a diet rich in land and sea vegetables, fruits, grains, stay hydrated, have amazing sleep, the lightest pain-free regular periods of my life, have insane mental clarity, physically fit, amazing emotional stability.

      Fun fact: The United States is the only country that recognizes ADD/ADHD as a legit diagnosis. No other first world medical systems see these as legitimate. This tells me that it is most likely a dietary deficiency that can be corrected by changing the things you consume. Considering that the SAD is horrific when it comes to nutrition, I wouldn't be surprised if a lack of proper brain function is due to a deficiency of some sort. Menopause would exacerbate this issue as it causes massive hormonal fluctuations that would require proper nutritional intake to support.

      The astrology-esque nature of "adhd" diagnosis is glaringly obious as every other interviewer on the topic of adhd is said to have adhd. "Adhd" is a false and dangerous narrative that causes shame and exposure to psych meds that are criminally under-researched and in fact damage the brain and body overall, causing auto-immune disease, pssd, rcvs, etc. And due to the nature and stigma of psychiatry it is near impossible to get help with your drug induced injury.

      Yes, you CAN.
      Despite poverty, despite a childhood of horrific violence and abuse...and a life which is highly stressful in the present....yes you can...with consistent effort...change your A.N.T.S.(Automatic Negative Thoughts) IF YOU WANT TO.
      Arguably, it is in your best interest to help yourself due to your personal details as there is increased stress due to such factors. ❤
      The book I employed to help myself is a particularly beautifully designed and a well-organized workbook format, with questionnaires and specific protocols you can employ to increase your assertiveness AND ameliorate and dramatically reduce those pervasive and damaging negative thoughts (the A.N.T.S)...which make assertiveness more difficult or impossible. I have no doubt other books on the subject of A.N.T.S. would likewise be effective...but I know for a FACT...this book was hugely effective.
      I genuinely wanted to increase the effectiveness of my communication in a positive manner...as I was then dealing with highly manipulative "family" (acquired through marriage) members and I was loathe to have their mechanations negatively affecting myself, my then-husband and my then young children.
      It works, because NEUROPLASTICITY is a scientifically viable FACT. YOUR BRAIN is a tool you can employ to change your life.
      Blind positivity is not the goal...for one needs to be utterly honest when contemplating your LIFE...and any brilliant therapist will instruct you to take care to jettison BOTH the "Rosy-Hued lens of 'excessive positive perception'" AND the "Dark Lens of 'Excessive Negative Perception' " in order to arrive at utter honesty when contemplating your past.
      Logic tempered by positivity is highly effective.
      And you have the POWER to positively impact your life with ZERO COST actionable protocols such as exercise, healthy nutrition, natural dawn light and/or day light as well as specific supplements vetted by hard science.
      GRANTED, supplements are NOT cost free but I prioritize them over other wants/Non necessities as I perceive them to be CRITICAL to life and happiness.
      I daily consume a quality EPA of 1000mgs, along with a daily multivitamin as well as Vitamin D3 and creatine monohydrate.
      SCIENCE is the solution to far better quality of life, increased happiness and increased health-span.

      "Personality changes following heart transplantation, which have been reported for decades, include accounts of recipients acquiring the personality characteristics of their donor. Four categories of personality changes are discussed in this article: (1) changes in preferences, (2) alterations in emotions/temperament, (3) modifications of identity, and (4) memories from the donor’s life. The acquisition of donor personality characteristics by recipients following heart transplantation is hypothesized to occur via the transfer of cellular memory, and four types of cellular memory are presented: (1) epigenetic memory, (2) DNA memory, (3) RNA memory, and (4) protein memory. Other possibilities, such as the transfer of memory via intracardiac neurological memory and energetic memory, are discussed as well"

CEOs love to brag these days about being every kind of atypical they can claim (often legitimately/authentically but in many cases a fake, image projection way), not from the usual mould etc, and the channel is called "diary of a CEO". why is this not the general rule and rather the exception, where people are expected to be fake and project an unrealistic image of themselves? not critiquing the comment, nor the interview which was wonderful IMO, I just find it so odd that people even say such things as "you're so brave being so open about ADHD". Yes there was and remains some stigma around neurodivergence in the world, especially the commercial world and appearances obsessed world like corporate USA/UK, social media, etc etc but there's no braveness a sports star admitting they failed math class and ever since SJ bragging about being a college/university drop out and making it in startup roulette is down right fashionable. So why is it odd for people already seen as model humans for others to imitate to reveal their mental and organisational challenges?

My hair quit falling out, my eyebrows are coming back and the ridges in my fingernails show when I made the change. He had also said that coffee affects cortisol.

      You shouldn't take anyone's advice as gospel when talking about art. It's not even measurable. Psychology can only be partly science as humans have many variables.
      Hardly any experts on psychology or philosophy agree with each other on everything. They all have their own theories and the ones who get the most funding are the ones who can conduct experiments. This is the way it's always been.

It's just ONE day at a time and before you know it you'll be a completely changed person from INSIDE out and will be looking back in tears (of joy and gratitude) and be amazed at the quality of life difference and just how awesome you feel. Eat lots protein and don't shy away from fatty cuts of meat or mince, they will fill you up and satiate you for many hours, they are the first and most important thing to focus on. Anything else that is a whole food that you can tolerate on the side is secondary. It took me over a decade of pain and misery for me to find out the amount of problems we're coming from sugar, processed foods, and ultra processed seed oils that they label as "vegetable oil" and put inside almost every single food that has a label with more than one ingredient.
      Seriously, keep us updated if it helps you stay accountable. You really do deserve to succeed and live your dreams. The best people in this world are the ones who were blindsided coming into this world and then overcoming so much and becoming their true self, who they were meant to be. Like the butterfly leaving its protective cocoon for the first time after refusing to accept change and make that first big move. You have likely been self-sabotaging your entire life, unknowingly, just as you were programmed to do. But now that spark has been lit... and I sincerely wish you the best of happiness and health in this new chapter of your life.

    I know for sure you can learn new things even after a traumatic brain injury. I have had to relearn things I knew before I was hurt but it takes effort when before it wads so easy.

    Steve, thank you for being so open and honest, that takes courage. That was an interesting conversation but not an easy one in front of all your subscribers.
