Well, for an old codger like me, I'm 45, I didn't use the internet until 1999 when I was 21, and I lived a perfectly normal life before then in the 90's. In fact, I think it was better, less stressful and fast. No mobile phones, no messaging, nothing.
yes and this doctors big eyes are wearing me out, so relived he name drops sometimes, to let us know he is important, so glad i used my spare time to listen to this bs about health.
Dr. Amen's clinic changed my life. I went to his clinic in Chicago when ptsd and self destructive impulsive behavior were tearing my life apart. The spect scan identified a problem no other doctor had ever even considered. Once I began treatment for what they found, my life immediately turned around.
I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got addicted to alcohol. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
Dr Amen is an eminent neuroscientist who has spearheaded the use of MRIs in diagnosis and treatment of brain dysfunction. This video is a short part of a very long interview. I’ve followed his work for some time. ( I’m a trauma psychologist with 45yrs experience)
I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 9 and this man is one of few who doesn't talk nonsense about ADHD. Sadly Dr. Gabor (in my view) is the opposite. Nice to see trauma psychologist in here :)
😊A trauma psychologist with 45 years experience! Wow, such a huge, rare blessing to find & read your very qualified view. Thank you for taking time to post here.
This is so overwhelming! There's SO many things to improve on. I remind myself....one thing at a time 😀Pick one tiny thing, implement it over a couple months, and go onto the next item when I'm ready. Hope that helps anyone else in the same boat!
Dr. Amen is actually a world famous doctor and brain specialist. Far from being a scam artists, his books are very solid. Don’t be deceived by his soft and meek way of speaking. I am a doctor myself and find his presentation solid, scientific, practical and of profound significance.
I'm sorry but brain scanning isn't scientific just based on the fact that he did not scan all brain or formulate a controlled sample sizeable enough to prove his claims that brains look different if mentally ill
Listen, I’ve been on a journey to find natural everything and it has been an eye opener. Cheap brands on up to most top luxury brands and 90% of all the items are bad chemicals. Food, hair, clothes, shoes, personal care etc. It’s really sad. The emf and other things in the phones and devices. It’s just too much but we still have to do the work to find longevity in this life.

❤😮THANK YOU, DR. AMEN for you 100% PERFECT ADVICE 😊❤ Some people just fight the fact that their "bad, VERY UNHEALTHY habits" are being targeted...And they have to find excuses to keep them! I truly APPRECIATE you STANDING FOR THIS BUNCH OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHANGES ❤...THOSE who LISTEN and LEARN and DO, will be grateful YEARS "down the line"!! ❤❤❤
Honestly his personality inspires a lot of trust. He seems to be so young and healthy. I would love to be like him when I'm older. After 60 yo so many people get lazy, fat, and their ability to think clearly and articulate their thoughts decreases drastically because they just let go.
This guy has great credibility and really is studying the brain! Wow. He's telling from his own findings. He's doing studies and working with people. I will try these things to help my brain.
Grow your own lettuce and spinach. Just sprinkle seeds somewhere and you'll have free, live salad. Sweet potatoes grow like wildfire here in Florida and are beautiful, climbing ivy-like plants with edible leaves and morning-glory type flowers. Pole beans are my favorite to grow.
Great interview, thank you. I tried take ng ginkgo 25 years ago and unfortunately, it made me very anxious. I believe this is because i have/had an overactive amygdala, so i certainly didnt need more blood flowing to this area of my brain, increasing my fear and worry. Now that im meditating and increasing my frontal lobe activity, im going to try ginkgo again.
He smart, it’s makes sense to me. All the knowledge and all experiences that he has and trying to explain into words for us to understand medical language and all over the years of his studies &works, it’s kinda hard to put it all into easy words. That’s why I assume that’s he’s taking his time & slowly explains. But no doubt he’s very knowledgeable 👍. I wish he would scan my brain🙏 please & diagnosis with all his advice.
Not a huge caffeine fan at all 💯 might grab Starbucks frap a few times a month. I like that he mentioned weed slows blood flow to the brain dries you out! 🧠
Some of his stuff is a bit tricky to navigate, but having used his clinic to manage from a TBI/concussion, I'm doing waaaay better from it. Like anything medical, work with a good general physician and medical experts, and go from there. Your experience may vary
I really like the opening question. I'm working on a related but distinct one: "What are the things that make the thinking worse?". Well, OK, I started with what are the things that can make thinking better. Maybe there's something to be said about improving the quality of our thinking, and not just the quality of our brain?
So when talking about screen time is it just things like tablets and phones? Or is it screens in general? So including TV and computer screens for work.
It’s interesting that he’s basically saying the opposite of what most studies say about caffeine/coffee which is it may help prevent Alzheimer’s and dementia. So which is it ?
Loneliness is hard to cover from, because it's not easy for me to find people, it seems like there is a standard to keep to be around certain type of people I guess, friend circles changes whether it's a situation, job and even marriage because priorities are different. Glad that I'm taking care of my health atleast as for craving for sweetness I have fruits which helps alot. He mentioned supplements but for me whenever someone says that feels like it won't be a good idea at all, I would rather have things that are purely natural. Any form of addiction that affects your health is not good whether it's coffee or too much social media consumption and the most harmful are the shorts because it is leading people towards having short attention span.
I have tried ginkgo several times over the years and always have 2 side effects: high blood pressure and irritability and did not perceive any positive effects, so I do not take it.
What do we do about the excessive social media use and its detrimental nature on all of us? How do we look out for each other and ourselves on a societal and personal level?
Thank you for mentioning this. I’m sick and tired of people telling me how terrible caffeine is when every single doctor I know drinks it to the tune of 500-900mg A DAY and they’re as healthy as a horse!
Everything seems partial here. For example, he recommands Omega 3 supplementation... Ok, but without talking about omega 6 reduction. Lowering Omega 6 is important when taking Omega 3, because they share the same enzyme to be used by your body. If you are high on Omega 6, you won't get any benefit from Omega 3 supplementation. The simplest way to get the effects of Omega 3 is to cook low processed foods and use a neutral fat source to cook such olive oil (which is mostly Omega 9 and doesn't change the O3-O6 ratio).
We should not ignore great info. We always like what’s not good for us. Is common sense if we out the right things in our bodies we will be healthy . Exercise is an essential
But just be careful not to a. Have too much b. Be addicted. If you are addicted I would quit it for a bit. Addictions are never good for the body/ brain. There are other supplement s that may help with adhd. Gingko, lithium orotate, same, inositol, ginseng , medicinal mushrooms ( reishi, chaga ) ashwagandha , amino acids
This is fantastic. Question - I do a glass of beet/ginger/ lemon/carrot juice. I see a lot of good and bad on this. Really, I always feel great when I do this, and not as great when I go for while without it. Recently, switching between this and watermelon/lime/ginger. IS this really something that I need to stop? what is the alternative? I really appreciate any advice you can provide.
It's the fact that you can consume it very quickly and it is metabolised quickly by your gut that makes juice rather than whole fruit worse for you. Whole fruit in moderation, says she who has a juicer and used to do fruit juice diets. The high sugar releases insulin, not so bad when your younger but as you get older you can feel it. Good luck giving up if that's what you choose.
Caffeine enhances cognition also so it suprises me that this doctor deems it neurotoxic, I can cutback on alcohol but i wont give up caffeine, i will compensate with more exercise and less sugar though!
I agree with you. There is actually quite some studies linking coffee consumption with PREVENTION of dementia and Alzheimer... so, I am a bit skeptical about that one...
Don’t believe everything people say’ do you your own research. You guys are right. Caffeine is protective and can help prevent Alzheimer’s and dementia
Quite odd to me as well...i only drink 12oz of coffee daily... I'll cut down on the sugar... Everything in moderation. Key to life is balance, in all aspects of life! 🙏🏽
He's wrong about half the stuff he's talking about. Cinnamon is super high in oxalates, ginkgo is linked to cancer and fish has a lot of mercury. I'll stick to my morning coffee, thank you.
Yes, FRUIT, not (man-altered fruit juice). We used to squeeze oranges for juice. Sugar is always bad for you; unfortunately, it is Very addictive and one can only quit cold-turkey (although exercise helps while doing this). Did you know that Gingko fruit has a strong putrid smell? Our town planted a female Gingko tree; I wonder how long until someone steps on a ripe fruit! I'll take exercise instead of Gingko, thank you. Omega-3 is not a problem if you love to eat sardines; unfortunately, I cannot eat fish, so I settle for a high-quality fish oil. As for Brain Trauma, I tried to keep up with my husband and rode a motorcycle. I am NOT an athlete and suffered two concussions. Stupid, yes! The motorcycle was not injured! THANK you for this video---much of the information is quite useful. Keep your brain active! Read, learn new things!
We had a gingko tree outside our shop class when I was in high school. Heavens yes the fruit does have a putrid smell!!! I do love the shape of its leaves!
Get connected with PEOPLE?! I absolutely LOVE solitude. Being around ppl causes me to get aggravated and annoyed with the terrible things they say and do. Peace is being all alone without the stress that ppl cause.
The key to everything in life is to be well balanced...as much as possible.We weren't designed to walk through life without other people..our choices are critical to who we spend time with and interact with etc. It is also needful for us to be quiet and not engaged most of our waking time. I do share your same feelings though...
I believe that the Dr was meaning to say that to get connected to people that you're comfortable with and makes you feel better and improve as a person... Not those energy suckers toxic ppl( I hope you'll find one)
He also makes no distinction between loneliness and solitude nor people who enjoy things like art which is frequently done solo. Nor does he mention pets which are companionship as much as possible. As accomplished as this man is, he is not God.
@@IMeMineWho don't come for personal wins. It's tiresome. connect with people means when u are alone and getting low or depressed, not avoid being alone altogether. Everyone is alone at times doing their own things. It's when the negatives are unbearable, that people start suffering and it's the time to connect with people. Pets are good companionship to care and divert your mind from negativity. U should know that.
What a wonderful life to live, maybe reach 100+ and be bored to death, my ancestors on my mothers side all live to 90+, on my fathers side they die at 70. The ones on my mothers side drink alcohol, eat sweets and cakes, drink a lot of coffee, not so on my fathers side. No diabetic on either side, my mother and father have been working at screens for the last 30 years. they are 78&79 y.o now. I would say they still drink 3 large mugs of coffee every day. They both still have very high cognitive abilities and are still productive.
Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice is one of the healthiest foods (in season, local, organic). It doesn't require stomach acid. Watermelon is probably the healthiest breakfast as it has the fiber and also doesn't trigger stomach acid (the enzymes reach the lower digestive tract). I soak organic lemons and limes in water and only drink the yellowy resulting tea. I only use raw sugar (1-2 tsp per day in my coffee). Homemade hot sauce is super healthy and easy to make.
Eating half of the grapefruit each morning and not bothering to squeeze half a dozen into a glass is much healthier though as the body really needs the fiber and vitamins in the whole fruit.
@@zerac5036 I said FRESH SQUEEZED, in season, local and organic. Try learning basic English and punctuation before playing doctor. I bet you say Lizzo is healthy at any size.
Thank you for this insight! I was wondering if you swap some of that screen time for audio books and or podcasts does that offset the affect of wearing down dopmamine centres. Do you get what I mean? Sorry that I don't have the vernacular to express my question better.
I love coffee. Sometimes I actually need it at night to sleep and when I have a flat white to sleep I drop off almost instantly. In the last few days I've discovered I probably have ADHD, it runs in the family
Nah now social media is showing me how mid everyone else is. Keep your head up everyone. Don't stress all the bs, keep it simple. love your family, hold onto your connections. The rest of it will just make you crazy.
But studies show that reading a book organically not off of a screen, helps keep you sharp because of the horizontal reputation. If you're going through systematic psyche attack and can't really be around people as a result of that, read. It's one of the best things you can do outside of exercise and meditation to help you keep your wits about you.
Yes, I thought about that as well and all the benefits in preventing dementia that Huberman has mentioned... But... maybe it is wishful thinking???? I think most of us WANT to believe caffeine has benefits...
I’m trying daily to do exercises it’s the only thing that it gets me relax in a better mood or state of mind just a simple walk or do Pilates or yoga just received a dayly dose of sunshine not too much but also heards .
I think some of his advice, particularly about nutrition, needs to be tempered by mentioning the aspects of life/society/disabilities that can make it more difficult to follow said advice. For example, the existence of poverty and food deserts should be acknowledged along with stating that eating lots of processed or fast food is not ideal. Some people simply do not have the option to buy things like fresh produce simply because it is not an available and/or affordable. Or that things like dental hygiene can be very difficult to maintain for someone with ADHD or even depression. Most of his advice definitely sounds like a good goal to shoot for but it can definitely come off as intimidating and gives a bit of an impression that if someone does not succeed at all of these things that they’re a failure, regardless of their circumstances. Maybe he mentions this in his other work, but just thought it should be mentioned. Nevertheless, it’s always good to aim for a healthier lifestyle!
I found this quite able-list. For autistic people, screen time helps with regulation and maintaining dental hygiene can be challenging. Also telling someone with depression that it doubles their chances of getting Alzheimer's will only make them more depressed??
Too much sugar damages the brain in a similar way to aging. Must we stop both aging and sugar consumption Even though many researchers are studying this topic, there is still a disconnect between what we know and what we do. This is evident in the fact that 70% of people are overweight and 42% are obese, despite knowing that sugar is bad for them. Andrew Huberman is the first person I've seen to address this gap. He emphasizes the importance of baseline dopamine for goal achievement.
@@Zenith6000I have different opinion about sugar…sugar = sugar, fructose seems to me as metabolic poison , not better than “ other” sugars. Sweetness is brutal. Yes, small amount of fresh fruit is OK if person has healthy metabolism. This “ true” is very sour for some of us…
I know Dr. Amen is the expert and I'm just some guy, but on the point of caffeine, does it really hinder blood flow if it ultimately has quite beneficial and proven effects on performance in endurance sports like running or cycling, etc? It seems like it would help with blood flow, in that respect 🤔🤷♂️
He mentioned some famous names that he made it sound as though he saw them in his capacity as a psychiatrist, which, on the surface, sounds like a major violation of confidentiality?
Yes, but he loves dropping names and working with the wealthy. Most people can’t afford him. I tire of this type of practitioner, who has gotten very wealthy. Oh well, that’s our healthcare system.
Something about this guy rubs me the wrong way. Generally what he's saying is true, but he seems like a little bit of a scam artist. If you're a doctor you should be able to explain a little more detail than "less blood flow to the brain". Never talks about the mechanisms by which this happens, its more so just "trust me, it happens".
Yeah, I got that same vibe, both from this clip and another clip. Our body literally runs on sugar, so saying that sugar is bad is problematic at best, and spreading misinformation at worst.
If loneliness causes dementia, are you saying monks and other spiriually isolating traditions lead to an increase risk of dementia? Because some of the most intellegent people went through long periods of introspective loneliness
Thats an interesting point. I think environmental factors play a role in this. If you're a lonely monk, but you live and surround yourself in nature, instead of a bustling city where you are forced to compare your social life to others; that makes a difference, I think.
Good point, but if you are a monk etc, you will not feel “lonely” in the way he meant. For them it’s a positive spiritual thing, for everybody else, loneliness is hard. I think if you feel lonely you feel lonely. If you are alone you will not necessarily feel lonely.
You are mistaking loneliness with solitude. Those who DECIDE they want to be alone and withdraw themselves from society are not lonely. They are comfortable with it because it was THEIR choice. Loneliness is involuntary. You are lonely because you've got no one who can or wants to be with you. That is extremely detrimental and that is the one he is talking about.
Monks stay in a community. They are surrounded by nature, brothers. They have everuthing and are always praying and working. Most important, the présence of God fills them. They are very productive and spiritual beings. Visit monastères in Germany, France...
In the beginning he said that ADHD was something we were born with but in the end he said it was a symptom of too much screen time. Is there anymore info to know which is true or are they both true? Or?

Honestly his personality inspires a lot of trust. He seems to be so young and healthy. I would love to be like him when I'm older. After 60 yo so many people get lazy, fat, and their ability to think clearly and articulate their thoughts decreases drastically because they just let go.
@user-nn5bx4pi6e Bad luck can happen at any age this has nothing to do with my comment.
I love his honest passion to get the info out to people like me, in a heartfelt genuine way. He motivates me🎉
His skin alone speaks volumes.
This guy has great credibility and really is studying the brain! Wow. He's telling from his own findings. He's doing studies and working with people. I will try these things to help my brain.
I thought he was selling supplements. @@Jennifer-nz2ss
I believe Balance is key
We need to enjoy life but keep healthy
Eliminating Everything is Not the solution
Grow your own lettuce and spinach. Just sprinkle seeds somewhere and you'll have free, live salad. Sweet potatoes grow like wildfire here in Florida and are beautiful, climbing ivy-like plants with edible leaves and morning-glory type flowers. Pole beans are my favorite to grow.
Tons of oxalates…. spinach is the worst offender.
Thank you for having Dr. Amen on your channel. I just finished his book Change Your Brain Change Your Life and was doing more research.
People should stop shaming him in the comments he is providing valuable information for a society addicted to so many materials
Thank you because gratitude is helping me with my journey too. I trust dr amen 🙏
Great interview, thank you. I tried take ng ginkgo 25 years ago and unfortunately, it made me very anxious. I believe this is because i have/had an overactive amygdala, so i certainly didnt need more blood flowing to this area of my brain, increasing my fear and worry. Now that im meditating and increasing my frontal lobe activity, im going to try ginkgo again.
This post cast is a big diamond 💎 for your brain health extremely good
He smart, it’s makes sense to me. All the knowledge and all experiences that he has and trying to explain into words for us to understand medical language and all over the years of his studies &works, it’s kinda hard to put it all into easy words. That’s why I assume that’s he’s taking his time & slowly explains. But no doubt he’s very knowledgeable 👍. I wish he would scan my brain🙏 please & diagnosis with all his advice.
garlic & cayenne also great for the brain ;) beet salad with avocado is also great.
Just add some raw soybeans and a ginger and lemon dressing and this reads like a damn delicious Salad!
Not a huge caffeine fan at all 💯 might grab Starbucks frap a few times a month. I like that he mentioned weed slows blood flow to the brain dries you out! 🧠
Weed ruined my life smoked it from a young age
Some of his stuff is a bit tricky to navigate, but having used his clinic to manage from a TBI/concussion, I'm doing waaaay better from it. Like anything medical, work with a good general physician and medical experts, and go from there. Your experience may vary
Great insightful video. Thanks for asking the right questions we are all going through
You got it. Smart Person
Dr Amen cares and is so knowledgeable his studies on brain injury and behaviour is fascinating too
Thank you Doctor!
I really like the opening question. I'm working on a related but distinct one: "What are the things that make the thinking worse?". Well, OK, I started with what are the things that can make thinking better. Maybe there's something to be said about improving the quality of our thinking, and not just the quality of our brain?
This is very interesting information, but I can't help noticing that Dr. Amen's posture is appallingly bad.
He is amazingly slim and has great muscle tone all over however. How old is he?? He looks healthier than most American 40 year olds by a long way.
Was thinking the exact same thing
Could be the chair or way he's sitting maybe..🤔
He is trying to be as close to the microphone as possible, as he has a very soft voice - and knows it.
@@viviennedunbar3374he's 69 as of 2024
Wow!!! So informative. Thank you Dr. Amen
So when talking about screen time is it just things like tablets and phones? Or is it screens in general? So including TV and computer screens for work.
Social media and RUclips ect stuff you get dopamine from not work
Thank you - this is major significant and timely!!
It’s interesting that he’s basically saying the opposite of what most studies say about caffeine/coffee which is it may help prevent Alzheimer’s and dementia. So which is it ?
And ginkgo is linked to cancer, go figure. I guess everybody has something to sell.
Love this subject
Tk u for sharing your knowledge with us 🙏I have always cared about my brain & this helps a tremendous lot
Loneliness is hard to cover from, because it's not easy for me to find people, it seems like there is a standard to keep to be around certain type of people I guess, friend circles changes whether it's a situation, job and even marriage because priorities are different.
Glad that I'm taking care of my health atleast as for craving for sweetness I have fruits which helps alot.
He mentioned supplements but for me whenever someone says that feels like it won't be a good idea at all, I would rather have things that are purely natural. Any form of addiction that affects your health is not good whether it's coffee or too much social media consumption and the most harmful are the shorts because it is leading people towards having short attention span.
Try bro.
This was really good and I will share this! Thank you so much.
I have tried ginkgo several times over the years and always have 2 side effects: high blood pressure and irritability and did not perceive any positive effects, so I do not take it.
What do we do about the excessive social media use and its detrimental nature on all of us? How do we look out for each other and ourselves on a societal and personal level?
Caffeine consumption is found to be protective for developing Alzhimers Disease
Thank you for mentioning this.
I’m sick and tired of people telling me how terrible caffeine is when every single doctor I know drinks it to the tune of 500-900mg A DAY and they’re as healthy as a horse!
Facts!
Thankx dr.😊 Stay blessed
Everything seems partial here. For example, he recommands Omega 3 supplementation... Ok, but without talking about omega 6 reduction. Lowering Omega 6 is important when taking Omega 3, because they share the same enzyme to be used by your body. If you are high on Omega 6, you won't get any benefit from Omega 3 supplementation.
The simplest way to get the effects of Omega 3 is to cook low processed foods and use a neutral fat source to cook such olive oil (which is mostly Omega 9 and doesn't change the O3-O6 ratio).
Thx 😅 another amazing insight , so educational and wellness centred. Thx 😅
What about when the fish have heavy metal and PFAs?
We should not ignore great info. We always like what’s not good for us. Is common sense if we out the right things in our bodies we will be healthy . Exercise is an essential
As an adhd adult, I refuse to give up coffee.. its def safer for me than some BS Rx
Caffeine is ok. Just lower the amount of caffeine:)
Caffeine has powerful abilities to prevent Alzheimer’s and dementia.
But just be careful not to a. Have too much b. Be addicted. If you are addicted I would quit it for a bit. Addictions are never good for the body/ brain. There are other supplement s that may help with adhd. Gingko, lithium orotate, same, inositol, ginseng , medicinal mushrooms ( reishi, chaga ) ashwagandha , amino acids
Coffee drinkers actually live longer statistically and ginkgo is linked to cancer
And have green tea after your first coffee. Don't keep drinking it throughout your day.
This is fantastic. Question - I do a glass of beet/ginger/ lemon/carrot juice. I see a lot of good and bad on this. Really, I always feel great when I do this, and not as great when I go for while without it. Recently, switching between this and watermelon/lime/ginger. IS this really something that I need to stop? what is the alternative? I really appreciate any advice you can provide.
What about Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice 30 seconds after its squeezed.
It's the fact that you can consume it very quickly and it is metabolised quickly by your gut that makes juice rather than whole fruit worse for you. Whole fruit in moderation, says she who has a juicer and used to do fruit juice diets. The high sugar releases insulin, not so bad when your younger but as you get older you can feel it. Good luck giving up if that's what you choose.
So no boxing .... Thank you doctor
Caffeine enhances cognition also so it suprises me that this doctor deems it neurotoxic, I can cutback on alcohol but i wont give up caffeine, i will compensate with more exercise and less sugar though!
I agree with you. There is actually quite some studies linking coffee consumption with PREVENTION of dementia and Alzheimer... so, I am a bit skeptical about that one...
@montycora I know right it really caught me off guard when he said caffeine was neurotoxic.
Don’t believe everything people say’ do you your own research. You guys are right. Caffeine is protective and can help prevent Alzheimer’s and dementia
Quite odd to me as well...i only drink 12oz of coffee daily... I'll cut down on the sugar... Everything in moderation. Key to life is balance, in all aspects of life! 🙏🏽
He's wrong about half the stuff he's talking about. Cinnamon is super high in oxalates, ginkgo is linked to cancer and fish has a lot of mercury. I'll stick to my morning coffee, thank you.
I’d also like to know if there are negative side effects from CBD gummies, as a sleep aid and a mild analgesic.
There’s not enough studies currently to answer this question.
Intense exercise solves blood sugar issues
Yes, FRUIT, not (man-altered fruit juice). We used to squeeze oranges for juice. Sugar is always bad for you; unfortunately, it is Very addictive and one can only quit cold-turkey (although exercise helps while doing this). Did you know that Gingko fruit has a strong putrid smell? Our town planted a female Gingko tree; I wonder how long until someone steps on a ripe fruit! I'll take exercise instead of Gingko, thank you. Omega-3 is not a problem if you love to eat sardines; unfortunately, I cannot eat fish, so I settle for a high-quality fish oil. As for Brain Trauma, I tried to keep up with my husband and rode a motorcycle. I am NOT an athlete and suffered two concussions. Stupid, yes! The motorcycle was not injured! THANK you for this video---much of the information is quite useful. Keep your brain active! Read, learn new things!
We had a gingko tree outside our shop class when I was in high school. Heavens yes the fruit does have a putrid smell!!! I do love the shape of its leaves!
Grass fed beef is also high in omega3
Thanks so much for this information ❤
Wow... Eye opening.
Great video , so informative. Thankyou
He looks amazing for 102!
😅 This is amazing comment 👍🏻
Thought he was 69
He's 103 now@@bmniac
102? I seriously thought he was 60
The F.U.N. never ends.
Get connected with PEOPLE?! I absolutely LOVE solitude. Being around ppl causes me to get aggravated and annoyed with the terrible things they say and do. Peace is being all alone without the stress that ppl cause.
I think we have to be connected to good people and sucessuful one, we have to filter
The key to everything in life is to be well balanced...as much as possible.We weren't designed to walk through life without other people..our choices are critical to who we spend time with and interact with etc. It is also needful for us to be quiet and not engaged most of our waking time. I do share your same feelings though...
I believe that the Dr was meaning to say that to get connected to people that you're comfortable with and makes you feel better and improve as a person... Not those energy suckers toxic ppl( I hope you'll find one)
He also makes no distinction between loneliness and solitude nor people who enjoy things like art which is frequently done solo. Nor does he mention pets which are companionship as much as possible. As accomplished as this man is, he is not God.
@@IMeMineWho don't come for personal wins. It's tiresome. connect with people means when u are alone and getting low or depressed, not avoid being alone altogether. Everyone is alone at times doing their own things. It's when the negatives are unbearable, that people start suffering and it's the time to connect with people. Pets are good companionship to care and divert your mind from negativity. U should know that.
I had many surgeries. What can one take to combat the impact of anesthesia?
What a wonderful life to live, maybe reach 100+ and be bored to death, my ancestors on my mothers side all live to 90+, on my fathers side they die at 70.
The ones on my mothers side drink alcohol, eat sweets and cakes, drink a lot of coffee, not so on my fathers side.
No diabetic on either side, my mother and father have been working at screens for the last 30 years. they are 78&79 y.o now.
I would say they still drink 3 large mugs of coffee every day.
They both still have very high cognitive abilities and are still productive.
Dr Amen....amazing knowledge.
Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice is one of the healthiest foods (in season, local, organic). It doesn't require stomach acid. Watermelon is probably the healthiest breakfast as it has the fiber and also doesn't trigger stomach acid (the enzymes reach the lower digestive tract). I soak organic lemons and limes in water and only drink the yellowy resulting tea. I only use raw sugar (1-2 tsp per day in my coffee). Homemade hot sauce is super healthy and easy to make.
I found that a premium cigar a day made me leaner and healthier after one year.
Eating half of the grapefruit each morning and not bothering to squeeze half a dozen into a glass is much healthier though as the body really needs the fiber and vitamins in the whole fruit.
sorry, it’s not. all the sugar inside just make it same as pop
learn ur things before u write some crap here
@@zerac5036 You write "ur" and we're supposed to take you seriously? I was a health food writer from 2009-2012 for Natural News.
@@zerac5036 I said FRESH SQUEEZED, in season, local and organic. Try learning basic English and punctuation before playing doctor. I bet you say Lizzo is healthy at any size.
Thank you for this insight! I was wondering if you swap some of that screen time for audio books and or podcasts does that offset the affect of wearing down dopmamine centres. Do you get what I mean? Sorry that I don't have the vernacular to express my question better.
I love coffee. Sometimes I actually need it at night to sleep and when I have a flat white to sleep I drop off almost instantly. In the last few days I've discovered I probably have ADHD, it runs in the family
Nah now social media is showing me how mid everyone else is. Keep your head up everyone. Don't stress all the bs, keep it simple. love your family, hold onto your connections. The rest of it will just make you crazy.
Fantastic information!!
Thanks for information.
But studies show that reading a book organically not off of a screen, helps keep you sharp because of the horizontal reputation. If you're going through systematic psyche attack and can't really be around people as a result of that, read. It's one of the best things you can do outside of exercise and meditation to help you keep your wits about you.
Reading has improved my life.
What do you mean by systemic psyche attack?
@@21stcenturywearside47 Im constantly being psychologically attacked by some people. I read to keep sane.
Just do what makes you happy
Wow. You do an excellent job picking topics and providing empirical facts. Keep this going!!!!❤
My blood must be flowing well then, if ya know what I mean…. what a relief!
fantastic episode👏👏👏👏thank 🙏👌
Andrew Huberman ought to debate this guy about caffeine. Just like anything, too much is bad for you but up to 250mg isn’t bad at all.
Yes, I thought about that as well and all the benefits in preventing dementia that Huberman has mentioned... But... maybe it is wishful thinking???? I think most of us WANT to believe caffeine has benefits...
I agree
Huberman's a scammer
The irony is that RUclips IS a social media and he is presenting it on there as well.
I’m trying daily to do exercises it’s the only thing that it gets me relax in a better mood or state of mind just a simple walk or do Pilates or yoga just received a dayly dose of sunshine not too much but also heards .
All extreme can be hurtful. Meaning,all excessive use.
But this also seem extreme .
So ,no .
Everything in moderation... One must have balance in all aspects of life. Balance is the key!
Thank you. I love all your interviews. Great work
I think some of his advice, particularly about nutrition, needs to be tempered by mentioning the aspects of life/society/disabilities that can make it more difficult to follow said advice. For example, the existence of poverty and food deserts should be acknowledged along with stating that eating lots of processed or fast food is not ideal. Some people simply do not have the option to buy things like fresh produce simply because it is not an available and/or affordable. Or that things like dental hygiene can be very difficult to maintain for someone with ADHD or even depression. Most of his advice definitely sounds like a good goal to shoot for but it can definitely come off as intimidating and gives a bit of an impression that if someone does not succeed at all of these things that they’re a failure, regardless of their circumstances. Maybe he mentions this in his other work, but just thought it should be mentioned. Nevertheless, it’s always good to aim for a healthier lifestyle!
I found this quite able-list. For autistic people, screen time helps with regulation and maintaining dental hygiene can be challenging. Also telling someone with depression that it doubles their chances of getting Alzheimer's will only make them more depressed??
Amazing teacher
Too much sugar damages the brain in a similar way to aging. Must we stop both aging and sugar consumption Even though many researchers are studying this topic, there is still a disconnect between what we know and what we do. This is evident in the fact that 70% of people are overweight and 42% are obese, despite knowing that sugar is bad for them. Andrew Huberman is the first person I've seen to address this gap. He emphasizes the importance of baseline dopamine for goal achievement.
Quit refined sugar and carbs not fruit sugar
@@Zenith6000I have different opinion about sugar…sugar = sugar, fructose seems to me as metabolic poison , not better than “ other” sugars. Sweetness is brutal. Yes, small amount of fresh fruit is OK if person has healthy metabolism. This “ true” is very sour for some of us…
Many ppl are overweight because of side effects of Rx meds.
I know Dr. Amen is the expert and I'm just some guy, but on the point of caffeine, does it really hinder blood flow if it ultimately has quite beneficial and proven effects on performance in endurance sports like running or cycling, etc? It seems like it would help with blood flow, in that respect 🤔🤷♂️
He mentioned some famous names that he made it sound as though he saw them in his capacity as a psychiatrist, which, on the surface, sounds like a major violation of confidentiality?
Yes, but he loves dropping names and working with the wealthy. Most people can’t afford him. I tire of this type of practitioner, who has gotten very wealthy. Oh well, that’s our healthcare system.
Thank you for talking sugar addiction
Something about this guy rubs me the wrong way. Generally what he's saying is true, but he seems like a little bit of a scam artist. If you're a doctor you should be able to explain a little more detail than "less blood flow to the brain". Never talks about the mechanisms by which this happens, its more so just "trust me, it happens".
Yeah I felt that.
Yeah, I got that same vibe, both from this clip and another clip. Our body literally runs on sugar, so saying that sugar is bad is problematic at best, and spreading misinformation at worst.
💯
Talk about misinformation!! Your "theory" about sugar and human physiology is utterly bonkers.
@@Mirovanje12 maybe do yourself a favor and learn something.
I like this video with this kind of talk very interesting
Does listening to long podcasts, youtube videos like this and audiobooks still count as brain rotting screentime?
not if Steve gets paid for it lol
Hi Dr I have a question when I take ginkgo it makes me lightheaded is that mean that I do not need more circulation in my head thank you Kathy
If loneliness causes dementia, are you saying monks and other spiriually isolating traditions lead to an increase risk of dementia? Because some of the most intellegent people went through long periods of introspective loneliness
Thats an interesting point. I think environmental factors play a role in this. If you're a lonely monk, but you live and surround yourself in nature, instead of a bustling city where you are forced to compare your social life to others; that makes a difference, I think.
Good point, but if you are a monk etc, you will not feel “lonely” in the way he meant. For them it’s a positive spiritual thing, for everybody else, loneliness is hard. I think if you feel lonely you feel lonely. If you are alone you will not necessarily feel lonely.
You are mistaking loneliness with solitude. Those who DECIDE they want to be alone and withdraw themselves from society are not lonely. They are comfortable with it because it was THEIR choice. Loneliness is involuntary. You are lonely because you've got no one who can or wants to be with you. That is extremely detrimental and that is the one he is talking about.
Monks stay in a community. They are surrounded by nature, brothers. They have everuthing and are always praying and working. Most important, the présence of God fills them. They are very productive and spiritual beings. Visit monastères in Germany, France...
In the beginning he said that ADHD was something we were born with but in the end he said it was a symptom of too much screen time. Is there anymore info to know which is true or are they both true? Or?
Breathing outside everyday is killing my brain. Now a days you cant do nothing anymore lol😂
Facts
Taking advice from this man took years off my longevity
Everything's bad or toxic for us these days!
Great interview! I've got 3 of his books.
