DO THIS First Thing In The Morning To BOOST YOUR BRAIN & Increase Lifespan! | Dr. Daniel Amen
Our brains work hard to keep up with the demands of our physical bodies and minds. As a vital organ, our brain controls our thoughts, behaviors, relationships, sex drive, heart rate, disease risk, and so much more. The daily activities of life revolve around our brain, and yet it is so easy to forget the things we need to do in order for it to thrive.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Daniel Amen to discuss what’s possible when we make our brain health a priority. Dr. Amen shares the insults that harm our brains and how to get started on the path to better brain health. Among other things, they discuss Dr. Amen’s family history with brain health and a few remarkable case studies on the brain healing from trauma.

I recently eliminated sugar, grains, snacks and alcohol from my diet and taking steps to correct gum disease. I’m losing weight slowly and my thinking and creativity is improving day by day. Great information!
How are you doing with eliminating caffeine?
@@surferdude4487 Caffeine doesn’t affect me, but I only drink coffee in the morning just bc I enjoy it. I mostly drink water.
@@laurae8324 I'll call you Cleopatra because you're the queen of denial. Take it from a recovering addict. That is, unless you have a genetic mutation that has never before been seen in a human that makes you immune to caffeine.
Hi! There's a coffee, without coffee... made with roasted: Barley, Chicory, and Rye. It's called Kaffree ROMA. The flavor is close to coffee! 👋
You have to eliminate bread...it's loaded with sugar.
“I realized I wasn’t special, I was stupid.” (In his reflection about being able to run on 4 hours of sleep compared to most people at one point in his life.) This was actually the most profound statement in this entire video, imo. Did anyone else catch that?
Dumb af did😆😘
There's a guy I met that swears he only required 4 hours of sleep a night. He wakes up really early
Where are you located now? I read your first two books but couldn’t get a pet scan of my Brain. 3 batteries in of psych testing resulted in 3 findings of no brain damage. This think that is as about 2006. I was diagnosed with diabetes what is now 58 years ago. The hav al aye been brittle and CAT scans indicate hundreds of broken blood vessels in my brain. My memory was bad enough in 1999 that The couldn’t remember details well enough to write an entire incident report unless They wrote it all immediately after the event. I quit worked t at 62 and will be 71 years n 2 months. My blood sugar seems too be uncontrollable. I currently live in Texas and would love to see you.
Sorry about the typos.
@@maariahingelhardts8906stop eating sugar. Take things to help your liver. What do you eat there in Texas? Processed food?
"We care more about our faces, our boobs, our bellies, and our butts, than we do our brain, and that's insane!"😂That's my favorite quote of the year! And his comment about Freud who I've never cared for😂.
I fell out of my moms womb and into the floor head first. Trauma of different types of abuse in my early childhood during the time I was away from my parents for 4 years. Trauma in a 26 year relationship. Emotional heart attack passed out hit my head. Fell off a golf cart and smashed my head on cement. So afraid of growing old with the brain I have. So grateful for all this information. Thank you for your dedication.
God Bless and help you!
I have cleaned up my eating habits and life habits because of this man
Thank you so much, Dr. Amen, for taking the hits. I underwent an Amen Clinic brain scan just over a year ago due to generalized depression, anxiety, fear, worry, and PTSD. As I listened to this podcast, I was filled with such an overwhelming sense of gratitude to God for using your unique skills, talents, experience, expertise, and compassion to help someone like me. My experience with having my brain scanned has truly changed my life, and EVERYONE needs to hear this podcast. They need to know the truths about what you two have brought to light in this AMAZING discussion. I am sad that you are under fire, but YOU ARE CHANGING BRAINS AND LIVES!!!!
What is the cost of the appt and brain scan?
@@dnice7655 Though insurance will not cover the cost of around $4,000 (costs may have increased since then), but we applied for Care Credit, which made it SO easy to do it with payments. I received so much benefit from not only having the scan, but also with the follow-up sessions, nutritional information, and support that endured up to 6 months following, it was so worth the cost!
Yes inquiring minds want to know know the price of a scan etc?
Me too. Wondering if insurance is accepted.
Everyone needs a spirit spiritual scan. Listen to how many people, including in this podcast take the Lord's name in vain. We will all stand before the Lord, and all these will bow and all tongues will confess. Jesus is Lord. I'll choose Coffey even though I'm gonna cut it down tea and smoking over taking the Lord's name and vain any day.
Thank you Dr. Amen for speaking out on health!!! "WHY would we let the pharmaceutical company run our health system".....
Money of course
They only tackle you if you have the ball 👏
Amen is heaven sent -we all need to wisen up to this message.
THIS INTERVIEW IS INSANELY FULL OF PRACTICAL ADVICE!! OH MY GOD ❤ THANK YOU!!!
The brain ,heart,or genitals are one thing,and the caring more or less of the parts defeats the understanding that without any the rest would be in jeopardy. The brain not thinking is no different than the liver not filtering,or the lungs short of breath. It all effects your every cell.
Aha, so you basically recapitulate the day at night. This is very good advice (incidentally central in what Carlos Castaneda was taught by shamans). You can also focus on what was negative in a positive way :) by means of breathing: breathe in remembering an interaction that was not ideal, breathe out releasing the energy of it. If you wake up in the morning and your awareness/focus goes to something negative/anxiety you can breathe this away. Effective, it does require a little inner silence.
As soon as I saw the word recapitulate I was like "weird", because ive been listening to casteneda alot lately. I was like there's that word again. Then... You mention casteneda himself. Very cool.
@@cornerstone2449where you do like to listen to his stuff; is it free, online?
@stenbauge4591 I guess you do not know, that Carlos Castaneda was a con man, and his novels are pure fiction. Do a search. It has been proven that he was at the UCLA library during the same time he was supposedly meeting with Don Juan.
Daniel is such a beautiful spirit. His work radically changed my life after a Traumatic Brain Injury. Fully healed today, praise God, I speak LIFE constantly to my team, to my family and to myself first. I take supplements for my brain, which is also important. Thank you Daniel for the wisdom you share every day. Praying you remain protected, like our team who want to help children experience the goodness of God.
Congratulations! What supplements do you take?
Supplements do not help at all. This is proven.
God bless Dr Amen. Hes really helpful..."you dont have to believe everything you think"
Wow! I’ve listened to all Amen’s interviews and read his last book. The word “pruning” came to my mind just now. Mental pruning is not just in early childhood, but through our whole life. Use it well or lose it fast!
I just love Dr Amen! 🙏💞
I am so inspired! The story of the 80 year old woman who made daily healthy changes and is living a fabulous life is my hero! 🎉🥳💃🏻 The question is... Is it healthy for my brain?
Great conversation about brain health and overall wellbeing. Dr. Amen is a blessing to humanity. ❤
I love Dr Amen!! He has done such great and ground breaking work. He has a heart of compassion and a sharp piercing brain. Thank you for your copious books, your research, and supplements. Thank you for giving us your time doing these podcasts.And there are those of us out here who care about You as a person even tho you don't see us or know us, we care and would give you a big hug and thank you from our hearts for your life's work to assist in creating healthier, happy, creative functioning human beings become their highest selves through thought and health habits armed with knowledge.
I agree with and appreciate your wonderful sharing of knowledge and care. I don't like the thought of being a brilliant healthy mind all alone or only with a spouse. I feel we are missing out on family and learning from and passing on our nurturing experiences. Like simply brain to brain conversations sounds so cold and inhuman even if they aren't. I like how some Native cultures stay, pray, eat, converse and vision quest together. Great by self but even better shared. Sounds like a commune but we learn much about ourselves from reflections from people we don't necessarily agree with. Anyway, "Feed your head" take care of all of your thoughts and make dreams healthy one's so they can grow and come true for all who dream of reality being heavenly, lovely and nurturing. Breathe in God and breathe out ego. Take time to love nature and yourself in it. Videos are like magical trips also - I do miss the circle and the campfire talks. Getting harder to come together Right Now - over me. Haha, just a memory of Beatles wonderful mind appetizers. Yes I too have had head injuries, still here and hope we all heal the traumatic stuff we go through. Can't afford to take time for granted - even imagination, dreaming and doing in the moment need a bit of careful guidance. Isn't life a miricle in the making? Love, peace and prayers for the whole process.🤗
Thanks to both of you 🙏
Dr. Amen, thank you for being human. The way you explain this complex topic is so inspiring and motivating. Also, thank you for making it so easy to understand and follow the conversation.
So awesome i could use a brain scan aand get off almost all my meds ty
Eat Clean Beverages & FOODS!!! FEEL GOOD !!! FEEL CALM & THINK CLEARLY. Uncorrupted thinking !!! Be HAPPY !!! BE RIGHT !!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE ❤❤❤
i like you approach to the guess because you always as short questions and don’t interrupt long reply’s good job thank-you from australia
When are Companies and Industry going to acknowledge that working nights is so terrible to one's health and make adjustments to that fact? How can Dr. Amen's advice apply to so many that work evenings and nights? What if our jobs require the night shift. And if one works at the railroad as I did, sometimes one didn't have a regular shift but one was on call 24-7. That 24-7 schedule required working whatever was needed of the 3 shifts. For instance one day you would work mornings, and the next day, nights, and then the next day afternoon. Total irregularity. If one has children, and a family, one has to work if one is able. Working healthy jobs is not a choice for everyone. Some jobs just require working terrible hours. And the pay differential for working those jobs is not always equitable compared to the risk to one's health and well being, as well as one's family that suffers what the worker is experiencing as well.
they dont care nor will they ever
@@mariaa5128 I am not a lawyer and I don't know exactly what it would take to sue a company over the health problems associated with working nights, but some hard empirical data showing how bad nights are for a person could start the ball rolling. Once a base line of factual harm done is established, the lawsuits will ensue (Pun intended).
You are correct, it’s is unhealthy for the body. I worked night shift for seven yrs and my body never got use to staying up all night, I eventually had to quit because I couldn’t function properly throughout the entire day.
I totally agree. At the minimum, companies have an obligation to advise their employees of the health risk of the night shift work, pay additional, and provide expert specialist coaching to minimize circadian disruption. --Audrey in Chicago
@@GregMeadMakerThanks for the positive words. At some point in human history, "who owns the body of the worker" will have to be addressed. That might sound crazy, but the Railroad (or whatever business) pays a person, not just for their service and work, but also for their presence, "their physical body". When the concept of who owns the body, is not addressed, the assumption that the Railroad (or whatever business) owns "you" from such and such a time, to such and such a time, is a form of slavery (indentured servant type). Employment today, is an agreed upon type of slavery, that is, wages for time of one's life, and for one's work and service, but because one enters a contract that limits one's freedom of choosing to work or not work, that type of agreement is still a from of slavery. Companies are scared to death that workers someday will become self aware enough, to expect to be better compensated for the renting-out of their BODIES to, whatever company. The amount of money that CEOs get , shareholders get and other management get at the price of the health and welfare of the workers is in my view, criminal.
It would be great for you guys to do a talk on MTHFR and S&P methylation problems and how they affect ADHD bipolar schizophrenia the whole full eight problem chronic fatigue because many people don’t know about this
SNP’s
YES!
Yes!!
yeah, very easily said and done by the rich people who don't need to worry about daily struggles...
I just love this guy just subscribe to do I have seen him many times but I have not really listen to him but my life has been affected by my brain and he’s 100% right if your brain is not working right you’re in big trouble and it affects everything everything and then you can’t function you’re scary scary the scariest thing I have been through in my whole life. This guy is good. I love this guy he is like God sent for me. Thank you. I’m so glad I subscribe to him. today😪
Number one question. Is it good for your brain or is it bad for your brain.Thank you dr. Ayman
I love this doctor.
Thank you so much!
Love Dr. Amen.
Excellent! Thank you to both of you!
Thank you Profusely Dr Amen!!!!
Wonderful work THANK YOU . Soooo Life afirmingly Valuable. Only one question...recently saw a programme about Blue Zones. Elders in them lived in or around their family loved ones or friends. That was considered a major part of their thriving. Obviously if ones family or friends are toxic , it wouldnt be helpful to aging well. It was poss meant in fun yr saying your not wishimg to live with family . I do have a good sense if humour. So I mention this in case some take that comment literally. The break down of close communities of family surely had alot to do with our general brain/mental health. Again I mean if the families have healthy supportive outlooks . Nothijg worse than toxic environments. Many Thanks though for this Vital information. 🙏 Brilliantly helpful.
Thank you 🙏🏽
EMDR treatment is wonderful, so FREEING !!! GOOD MEDICINE HEALTHY MEDICINE!!! U HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD HEARTED Therapist guide. Reduce pains. Bad memory. Traumas. Thanks for EMDR treatments. 🌻⚘👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊👍

Attitude is everything!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would live to have my brain scanned. I bet its expensive.
Good advice
In God We Trust ! May God Bless You all including Global Peace throught Sharing Loving Cares. 🥰💘🤝🙏✍
I enjoyed listening to the calm voice of Dr. Amen, easy to follow for non-native speakers and no stress to follow along. It would be nice if Dhru slowed the pace down of his speech. Dhru, you appear to get excited to convey to people all you possible can and thus you speak fast. Could you make an effort to slow down please?
I have to speed up most videos between 1.5x. - 2.0x. You can slow it down to 0.75x - 0.25x.
We need the STRENGTH TO GET UP. TO TAKE ON CHALLENGES to handle our responsibilities. Demands. Demanding tasks. Be kind to our bodies. Be gentle . Be SENSIBLE, FAIR, REASONABLE to our brains 🧠 brains, daily!!! Correct?
Ty Dr Amen ❤😅
Toxicology include: Iatrogenesis, non-native EMF exposure....
And the other to fall in the same category as serrapeptase actually clean out your brain take out the information is done wonders for me seriously🥰🙏
I tried the keto diet and I felt really clear on it.
Awesome interview everyone should share this it is very helpful. Many are dealing with trauma and not eating healthy ,not preventing still using marijuana and alcohol. Start doing the right thing 🎉
Thank you for really good educational information for our psychological and fiscal health . I like and value smart,honest and intelligent people’s like you👌👍👏👏👏
A shower b4 bed really helps me relax 😌 🧘🏽♀️
Good morning and thank you Dr Amen for giving such an extensive explanation about brain health :) I wanted to ask you what kinds of green brain supplements you said you use in the morning along with your coffee. I have ADHD and I don’t want to go on medication!
My daughter has an inoperable brain tumor causing epilepsy and a host of other symptoms. I’d give anything to help her heal. Can your treatment help even with the tumor and seizures? She is taking great care of herself and so faithful it’s what’s getting her thru
Could she slowly delete this tumor through fasting?
@@t.a.4356 sadly no, she 19 and fasting seems to trigger her seizures and also triggered an eating disorder - she tried
@@katebruno9255 What about detox diets and a reduced eating schedule?
If she can't fast go ketogenic diet for a couple of weeks and see if her seizures ease up - her tumour should shrink too as cancer loves sugar and cannot use fats, lipids or ketones.

1:16:52 This moment is when I knew I liked this doctor. 🇺🇸
I was trained for Traditonal Chinese Medicine and I since we use balancing methods whether jn dao advice, herbal formulas, or acupuncture I came up with this to remind myself and others to keep from missing something in your life. Since we are all different personalities we tend to lean towards doing a lot of some of these and not enough of others. I do not enjoy staying up late so that’s easy for me . I do tend to love getting outside but I do not always go around and socialize like I should … here’s how I check in for balancing : Sunlight Water Movement Stillness Contact Solitude
Stillness is mediation and or rest of some form
Jesus our Heavenly Father, the Holy Spirit. Get your spirit right.

I do my best to follow a healthy life I drink Kangen water I eat quite healthy but, on Sundays I have sugar. I still feel guilty for not being perfect. I avoid alcohol but I like weed 🙈
First thing. You are what you eat. I found, after being retired for depression when I was 47 that at the age of 65 it was because I was a Coeliac. In fact I was intolerant of Gluten, found in wheat, barley and rye. It was no good trying to train my brain at all. If you have any slight symptoms of stomach problems, even constipation, wind, etc with depression, have a test for it. I only found out having overtipped myself into vomiting and diarrea after eating a huge Cornish pasty, a biopsy confirmed it. PPI's for reflux, like Omeprazole can ruin your ability to digest B12 too, giving you severe anaemia. It did me.

In USA most people are struggling with Health Insurance....are always worry about it. Because 84% are ill. The narco-Pharmas are struggling the world with take more medication....more. more medication each year. 😂😂😂😂I am always running away from Doctors who wants to put me on medications 😅😅

Time stamps pls!🙏🙏🙏
One thing I found that help me actually three of them that number one serrapeptase
At first, I found myself agreeing with you on some a lot of what you said. However, at around a quarter of the video, you mentioned how caffeine should be cut out, but I’ve read various articles how it helps with cardiovascular, Alzheimer’s etc. Another thing was the mention of marajuana, and how it reduces blood flow, but a lot of the articles Indicate that it actually increases bloodflow. Edit: another issue I have is what he said about sunscreen. While it’s true it will increase your chemical load, you unfortunately do need it to prevent yourself from getting skin cancer (and the chemicals used for filters have been tested rather thoroughly)
Get your brain right, get society right too. A lot of stress comes from the state of society. Technofeudalism, wage slavery, not being fulfilled or allowed to fully thrive, the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer, social media, greed, war, climate crises, and the list goes on.
Kindly let us know about the injury caused by head banging by Autistic children and adults.
I always wondered about that myself. 🤔
3 generations of people smoking 3 packs a day unfiltered living 80-89 yrs old. Hmmmm... I will stop buying cigarettes in March an only roll my own, Feb buy 2 packs on weekends and roll my own organic tobacco but I'm on it. I will stop an didn't start inhaling till 32. I do a warm up every morning and add a rep across all sets. In 90's was 10x reps till 2000 then have add one per setat 23x per 11 warm up exercises without weights..I rarely miss a day except when in pain from blue collar work.. Eating crappy food is not a reward but a punishment..lol I like it..
Or just buy American Spirit cigarettes, i changed to those, smoked half as many, then changed to the carryOn brand pouches and haven't smoked since January of this year after 25 years of smoking.
Those people's cigarettes were made of tender inner tobacco leaves. Now cigarettes made of strong outer leaves. Back then, standard cheap food was like only organic food is now. Back then, air was pure, water was fluoride free, and grooming products were much more toxin-free.
Thanks for the concern and yes I will brake the habit as I've broken several others . As soon as this homeless feeling goes away..
Interesting that caffeine reduces blood flow but current hair regrowth products contain it and tout the benefits of.
