Took my teenager daughter to the Amen Clinic in Dallas…..it was a gamechanger for her. No more depression and anxiety.

I love Dt Amen. The fact that he isn't in denial of the true origin of human existence only makes him a better scientist. He is humble too.

I took my son to Dr Amen and spent a lot of money for a brain scan where they seemed like they didn't care much and didn't do much! I can't say I am pleased with the way his office worked. They literally have my son no hope and I couldn't afford to talk more about my son's condition. The doctor literally stopped talking to me and was not responsive

Thanks for having Dr.Amen on your show. My son was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his 30s after being in an abusive marriage. He went from anxiety to depression to psychosis. I never believed it to be true. I wanted him to go for a scan but wasn’t able to convince him.. but I think I may be able to now!!! Thanks so much!!!

Any doctor who is dangerous to the status quo gets my attention and is worth listening to. Great information here.

[zzzzzzzzzxx]

Dr Axe thank you so much for having this man on your show..

True! I work at an elementary school. The snacks they are consuming is terrible. No wonder why they act the way they do. My daughter works in the cafeteria at the elementary school. She said the lunches and food they send home are terrible as well. I feel bad for the kids. What will they be like in 18 years.

Hello, as a very young age, my eldest son used to get the most terrible migraines. Various tests showed that Colocola, red, green, any colour in cold drinks, and sweets, chocolates caused his headaches. Since not eating or drinking any of these cured him.

Dr, Amen is best.
Let him talk... his knowledge and expertise is golden 🙏🎉

[pnwlady]

Please don’t interrupt the guest. More than one sentence was cut off by you interrupting him. Excellent exchange. Thank you.

This is by far the best podcast with the most crucial information out there right now. I listen to at least one podcast every day and I listen to a very diverse group of people. There are so many great ones out there, but this one should be mandatory for every parent and every school teacher and every person involved in the school system, in this country, if the parents don’t care enough, maybe the school system will and get some of the trash out of the school cafeteria. Parents need to find the time to educate themselves about the innocent little humans they’re bringing into this world. We need to stop poisoning our children and ourselves. This podcast is the best of the best.! 🙏🏼

[tanyaw]

Love Dr. Amen, MD! Thanks for interviewing him.

[jessamynbryce]

Fantastic episode! Thank you for having Dr. Amen on!🙏🏼

[anneteller]

Thank you both! Excellent interview! I can't wait until you have him back to talk about train your brain out of pain.

[Spgal]

Excellent interview!!! Thankful for both of your bold bravery in speaking out!!

[jackirae]

My biggest take-away...was that 'we are not stuck"...love the info on sports injuries too.

[thecabinator]

During COVID, they took away the salad bars, but you could still get pastries and donuts. As my favorite psychiatrist would say, that's insane.❤

[gwenlivi]

Yay!! I own a Herbalism Program for kids on ESA / Homeschool and next month is "herbs for the brain" this is a perfect reference! Thank you for posting!!

[diversifiedcollectibles]

I literally just heard about SPECT scan for the first time a few hours ago! I saw an advertisement for it. Now it’s talked about in the video 🤯. I wish it was something I could afford.
