The one brain killer most overlook is Alcohol. Yet many will not give it up. Quitting alcohol was the best thing I ever did.

[lisengel]

Some Quick notes from my listening to this interesting subject to keep the brain happy and healthy .... Exercise, sauna - do something you like, create loving relationships, eat green leaves, broccoli, kale, fruits, berries, vegetables plant rich whole food, beets, wild salmon, heering, olive oil, avocado keep learning and do something you love - avoid processed food, any alcohol is associated with cancer and smaller brains - and remember if you do something that is bad for you do something that detoxify and is good for you

Love it when medical professionals acknowledge the power of God, when it comes to healing; so glad he mentioned that he prays as he goes to bed.

This man is correct. I started a Carnivore lifestyle. I have changed greatly. My PTSD is gone. I’m more relaxed. I have a permanent smile within. I eat lots of wild salmon and grass fed beef with lots of butter.

[loleki]

Wow, gems in every sentence! Thank you, Lewis, for interviewing Dr. Amen. Life changing!

[tinat]

That’s why you don’t get involved in relationships that jeopardize your mental health!!!

It’s so positive that this information is getting to the people and the truth about our food industry is becoming visible. In the 50s my grandmother used to say that sugar is a killer and we would laugh and make fun of her ……so make a start no sugar, no wheat, no processed foods. Eat less but eat good quality organic or milk from single herd grass fed cattle……try the OMAD try low oxylates none lectins keto is good …olive oil pressed mechanically not with that chemical extraction process which is just 2 molecules from petrol …read labels….Good luck and namastay 🙏🏼❤️Namastay away from crap!

[mariarooney]

Excellent host and interviewer. Thanks for allowing your guest speak full thoughts. That’s because you want to learn. You don’t behave like you know it all. Thanks for having Dr Amen on. He has excellent truths.

[ArtsCraftsAntiquity]

I had multiple concussions playing girl’s soccer in the 90’s before anyone knew that head injuries could severely affect the brain. I would love to raise awareness because “psychiatric illness/mental illness is literally a brain illness, like any other physical illness. I’ve been told to “get over it”, way too many times in my 40 years on this planet. It is about nutrition, supplementation, exercise, talk therapy, meditation/prayer/faith, environment, and if necessary medication.

[yasmeenyasin]

I’m not sure that I can put in words how good you are Lewis as an interviewer you are so thrall, you ask every single question I have like you read my mind and more...love your videos you are doing a great job thank you so much for your amazing work 🌹

[Sabrinalives]

Dr Amen is amazing!!! Thank you for posting this!!!!

[alexi]

I'm going to send this talk out as my e- Christmas card. I found Dr. A about 9 yrs ago on pbs. The talk saved my life since I was able to put my foot down and take sugary treats out of my parents diet. 3 months later there was a remarkable improvement in their cognition. Words could not express my gratitude

[annak]

Live Dr. Amen, so brilliant and actually DOING clinical work to address the "black box" methods of psychiatry that fail 80% of the time!!! Doctors should be ecstatic.

[artompkins]

Dr Amen is an amazing person. Thank you, Lewis, for getting such great, helpful information out of that genius’s head!

[marionhopfgartner]

I am watching your videso since some time and your personal growth is inspiring. Congratulation on it. And, of course ... this video agin was deep and transformative. Keep going!!

Fantastic info! Dr. Amen is great!This should be taught in all HIGH SCHOOLS! Mamy young people are already super sick mentally and physically: overweight, obese, uneducated, and consuming decriminalize and legalized drugs. All law authorities must hear this to de-legalize drugs, increase drinking and smoking age, etc....

[jucxox]

[rhondaw.]
