I have referred so many people to him because I believe that his advice works, whether you're dealing with the impacts of concussions or you're dealing with the impact of anxiety, or you're dealing with a brain that has been impacted by past addiction, there will be information for you that is not only specific, but that's going to help absolutely everybody.

So you ready is we invite doctor Daniel eyen, the brain iact, the best selling author, the og of brain health, to the male Robin's podcast. I'd say, so here we go. Doctor Daniel ammen, my friend, I am so happy that you are here on the malabanan broadcast .

why I love being with you. So thank you for having me.

Oh, you're the best. You know, one of the reasons why I love you is you have been a expert on the brain and a psychiatrist for forty years, and you do not focus on what's wrong with us. You literally teach us how to bring out more awesome ness through brain health. You call IT elite brain training. What is that?

Well, of a long time ago, I realized I hated the term mental illness. IT shames people. It's siggers tizer and it's wrong, their brain health issues.

And if I can teach you to get your brain healthy, well, your mind is Better. People often don't understand that your brain, physical functioning of your brain, create your mind. Everybody wants to be Better. Nobody wants to be told their mental. And so the mission I have on the planet to end the whole concept mental illness and create this revolution in brain health, just why am so grateful to hanging out with you today.

how I wasn't planning on asking you this, but I just was struck by the fact that you'd distinguished between the brain and the mind. What's the difference between your brain and your mind.

where your brand, the physical functioning of your brain, create your mind? And people get this mixed up all the time, but you just have to think of someone who has disease. And if you saw the scans of people with alzheimer's disease, you see that they are wildly damage, and then that person is no longer fully that person, because their brain has been damaged. People really need to know if you want a healthy my, the first thing to have is a healthy brain.

And so are you saying that absolutely anybody can improve the physical health of their brain, and that will have an impact on your happiness, your performance and your mental health.

everything? And that happens quickly. So for example, you get Better sly tonight. You might be Better tomorrow. If you get drunk tonight, your minds going to be worse too hard. And because those both have a interact impact on the physical functioning of your .

brain wow, like you know, it's interesting because you're right, there is so much information and so many conversations out there about mental health, but you have this revolutionary approach of teaching all of us how to take Better care of our brain and how to improve our brain itself, and how that has a direct impact. So I want to start the very beginning because, you know, you've been doing this for forty years.

You are, in my opinion, the world's leading expert on the brain. And can you give us just a one, no one on the brain, and what you want anybody and everybody to know about the brain? And I want you to speak directly, doctor, aiming to somebody who may be listening, who's never thought about this topic before.

So your brain is involved in everything you do, how you think, how you feel, how you act, how you get along with other people is the organ of intelligence, character and every single decision you make. And when your brain works right, you work right. And when your brain is trouble, for whatever reason, your sad, sicker, poor, because your decisions hard as good.

Today i'm in miami, but I easily live a new poor beach where we have more plastic surgeons and almost anywhere in the world, because people care more about their faces, their breast, their valleys and their, but then they do their brain. And that said, because it's your brain that makes you attractive, it's your brain that makes you happy. It's your brain that keep you purpose, or is your brain that is the organ of rage.

And so getting your brain right is critical. And it's these three steps, brand and big, got a care, avoid anything that hurt, said, know the list. And quite Frankly, most second greater would get in ninety percent if you gave them one hundred things that hurt their bright.

And then the third things, regularly do things that help that. And I worked with B. J. Fog for six months, he runs a persuasive tech lab and fanfare on how people change. And we develop tiny habits.

You know, what's the smaller thing you can do today that will make the biggest different? And the mother tiny habits is, whenever you got to do something today, ask yourself, take three seconds. Ask yourself, is this good for my grand or bad fort? And if you can answer that with information and love, love of yourself, love of your family, love of your mission. And I just start making Better decisions because you care about the organ that makes you you.

wow, aren't. Let me impact this. So number one, brain envy is this idea of actually caring about the health of your brain.

And so do you recommend that you have somebody in mind that you envy? Like, clearly, I envy you because you take incredible care of your brain, but is IT just this concept that you just actually have to wake up, realize that what's in between your ears is the most important aspect of your health and wellness period. Is that what you're saying? yes. And number two, you then said that there are these microhabitat you have developed. What are three that have the biggest impact on the health of your brain, other than asking yourself is as good or bad from my brain.

So I start every day with today is going to be a great day because once you get the physical functioning of your brain healthy, you then have to program. So I start every day. So what is nothing gonna great day for you directing your mind and puts your brain in a positive? And then my favorite of all the habits I do is when I go to bed at night, I say a prayer, and then I go, what went well today, and I go on a treasure hunt.

And I actually start from the very moment I woke up looking for what was right about the day. And i've done this now, seven, eight years, and even the night my dad died about two and a half years ago. And IT was an awful ful awful day.

Um I did IT because IT was my habit, right? The brain is lazy. IT does what you nuit to do. And so IT really helped me even in a really hard time, but it's almost my favorite ite time of the day because like you are busy and great things will happen and I just not really focus on IT.

okay. So doctor yan, is there one supplement that you believe everybody should take for Better brain health?

Wow A A couple multiple vitam a really high quality multiple vitamin make one code bite plus brand new study show people with memory problems um who are headed to darkness when they took a high quality multiple im in within a matter months their memory was powered .

what wait them and to hold on a second so you're saying that a high quality multivitamin can not only improve your memory but if you are sliding on a slippery slope toward memory loss, research shows that I can actually bring memory back.

Yes, brand new research just came out they're actually comparing IT to places o and coco extra chocolate and they were hoping the chocolate would do IT IT wasn't the chocolate with the multiple item. Now I never make a disease claim with supplement, but if this level of basic be twelve and did that wow.

i'm onna start popular like Candy is what i'm going to do. That's incredible. So I multivitamin has a huge impact. I hear a lot about fishel .

to make a three file acts have been found to be good for your heart, good for your brain, good for your hair, good for your skin, good for your eyes.

Why is a good for the brain?

Um twenty five percent of the nerve cell members in your rain or made up of magic three. But he asked, so if you're deficient, your brain is not gonna work as fast and efficiently as I could. And low levels have been associated with all sorts about things, from depression to demands. D, H.

i'm going to sprint out of this interview. Go get this these supplements. I think i've been really i'm sort of embarrass because we've got a brain that I clearly envy here in dc R R ayn. And I feel like I am um really drop in the ball here on my own brain.

And so i'm going to report back the next time we have you on about how I feel really religiously taking a multivitamin, my fishel, I promise, doctor ayman, I want to go into some of the other, I guess, chemicals that you hear associated with the brain. And have you explained to us what they are and why they're important for happiness for brain health? Let's talk about serotonin. What is IT and .

why is IT important? Serotonin is huge, important for many different functions in the brain um but for happiness, for flexibility and respect and respect ones that falls people.

But when you are here, a tonia levels are low, you more easily feel disrespected and if you have um as a social fight or you feel diminish some way, your sir town and levels drug and when sir tony levels go low, people tend to worry um they get stuck on negative thoughts, negative behaviors. They tend to be argumentation than tional and if things don't go their way they get upset which on the surface can appear selfish. It's really not selfish.

It's rigid and boosting, sir ton, and we're like bright light there, which is why it's so important to get sunshine. And while you know we go into the holidays. Time change happens just the right time, right? As we get less sunlight and IT gets colder outside, we just, you know, then got a bomb drop on us like all the suny lose another day of, like, let me back us .

up a second. So does your brain create serotonin? Is that like, what is like? What is the function of serotonin in the brain?

So your god makes about ninety percent of the zero turn in your body. But IT doesn't go directly into your brain. Your brain creates your, and from the amino acid preki called trip to fan, and that's why often eating tripped to fan rich.

来 第二 题。

Can be helpful. You have the trip to fan rich food with a carbon hydrate because you need an instant response to drive trip to fan into the brand 叫 turkey and sweet potato es together is a great combination to boost your most。

So when you have high levels of sara, tony, how does that impact you?

We pretend to be happy. Um you're a little bit less motivated. You sort of don't care that might remember when project first came on to the market.

And you know I would give IT to some of my depressed patients, and they would say they would be less depressed, but also less motivated because his trapped to fan goes up. Dopamine, another chemical is talk about goes down. They have this sort of counterbalancing effect. So a lot of people to take us as they go happier, but I don't really care that much.

So is thera tony sort of the happiness one? And doping is the motivation and drive one is that the .

relationship dopamine in is the molecule of more is when you get document, you go, oh, I like that. And the problem is, the more you get, the more you want, and then IT turns into trouble. We are wearing out or doping centers in the brain in our society with our phones and social media.

And the nonstop video games text were being filled to death, which ultimately wears out the pleasure centers in the brain. So you have to be very careful life and talk to people about drip doping. dump.

What does that mean? Drip dopamine. Don't dump IT.

So you want little tiny peace. You know, a little tiny birth of dopamine in not a big splash. 叫， for example, coking big dog, you go, wow, the problem is you have none laugh.

And then you get pressed, which then start using alcohol the same way. Alcohol dumps document negativity dumps document scary movies, dum document falling in love dumps doping. You want a drip in. So with an .

example of dripping dopamine include the two microhabitat talked about, one being waking up in the morning and saying, i'm going to make IT a great day. How am I gonna do that? And also, at the end of the day, going on that treasure hunt for what went right? Yes, excEllent. How can you tell .

fy of low doping if your tired, if you're sad and you just don't have the motivation to get done, what you wanted get done. But the good lift is, even if you have been bad to your brain by doing the right things, your brain, you know, we call IT. No plastic IT can be Better more than in a matter of month. wow.

We've talked about supplements. We've talked about some microhabitat are simple ways to increase opening.

Cold showers will do IT. So I just take a shower before I did IT and I always finished with like two minutes I turn all the way cold because um cold therapy has been shown to increase book nor up an afra uh another nerd transparent and document any .

like certain times of day where your dopamine is higher or lower just naturally and is the same true serotonin in the okay, so to explain that us, and then how we can use something natural to boost IT.

everybody is scaean random, or the realm of their energy is different. There are morning large and night hours, and you sort to have to know what you are. A lot of my D, D, uh, patients are night out, and society is sort biased against them.

You school starts totally, work starts totally for a lot of people. But you just have to know your rythm. And if your document is high in the morning, that's when you want to focus and get work done.

If he tends to be higher later in the day. No rhythm. I like .

slightly overwhelmed. I don't even know where to start in terms of like how how to boost my serota naturally, how to boost my dopy naturally. So are there certain things you should do first thing in the morning to keep pure doping levels high, to stay focus, to promote your brain health?

So one thing I really like this morning bright light .

k .

morning bright light therapy, and you can actually get these therapy, lies ten thousand luks. So it's bright. K put IT log, put IT like an arms, link the way from you twenty or thirty minutes in the morning, super simple.

Can significantly improve dopamine, your energy mode um and cogniac function exercise, whether you want to increase serotonin or dopamine t does both walk like you're late for forty five minutes four or five times a week super simple bright light exercise um just incredibly helpful and just turned sixty eight this year and it's very clear to me that the stronger you are as you age, the less lie you are to get alzheimer disease. But it's really for older people. It's reality that kills them almost more than anything else. So like exercise, simple supplements and now you can eaten certain ways to boost the new transparent or in your brain.

So when you say felt and strength, are you also recommending in addition to the thirty to forty minutes of walking as if you're late three, four times a week, that you also add in strength training?

You bet, I think it's absolutely critical for men and for women. Your muscles are your protein reserve. You probably you know, saying, you know, one person gets into a car accident that come out and just fine, another ones permanently, same accident.

why? Because it's the level of brain health, or brain they brought into the accident, that often determines the outcome. So every single day of your life, from my prospect, every single day of your life, you should be boost day, your brain reserve.

Well, that's what I find to be so inspiring and empower ing about your work, your research, your message, doctor or aim and all the content that you know goes crazy, viral. And tiktok, you are very clear that there are simple things that we can do to trainer brains to make our brain's healthier, and that has an enormous impact on the quality of our lives. And so it's not too late for anybody listening to improve their brain health doing these simple things. Can we talk quickly about cortisol, like what that is, why IT matters, to kind of understand what IT is when IT comes to your brain health?

So course is critical to main by your trainer blends and IT helps us manage stress and deal with inflation tion when it's high because of chronic stress, of chronic negativity that IT actually puts fat on your belly and shrink your have the campus that made your memory set in your brain.

Doctor man called that thought, where to take a short break. And when we come back, or in a dig right back into. others.

One thing that I know about you because you listen to this podcast that you have big ambitions, you care about your goals. And the question is, are you there yet? If you're not, that's a good thing.

The highest achiever s among us all are the people who are still striving. People like you still reach for something beyond what's right in front you. And for people who approached the impossible and embrace IT, there's a vehicle for you.

I may think about IT. You eat right? Exercise, you will make a big moves in your life.

Okay, so doctor, amen. What are three .

things you can do to start to bring down those quarters, all levels?

Meditation, incredibly helpful prayer for people who do that. He noted some a huge fan of done with my patients for the last forty years, having a relaxation process and then ask yourself, is this worth killing brain cells for me you know, whenever I listen to people are doing or really focused on, you know, whatever the latest conspiracy theory is unlike, is this worth killing brain cells for me?

No um it's not. I know you have a specific breathing pattern that is associated with a common mind. Can you teach .

IT to us? I love you so much. A fifteen second Price. So if you're have any panic attack, this is going na take in two minutes or in less.

And what researchers discovered is you take twice as long to break out as you break, then IT produces an automatic relaxation response in your body. So the pattern is this. And um it's four second son .

k home .

for a second and a half eight seconds out holds IT for a second and a half. Will you walk us through IT? So first second in. 我们。 Of eight seconds out.

Hold to that and then repeat. So let the energy of breathing go power in your body. And if you just practice this on a regular basis, cortisol will go down and you're just gonna a get flooded with a feeling of calmness and relaxation. Now you got a practice, you have to create a pathway in your brain of relaxation.

Why does this fifteen second breath work?

Because IT simula encourages your brain to go into a paris on without extent. So there's a difference between stress. What scientists called sympathetic, say, has nothing to do is sympathy, is work. But a sympathetic stay is where I was on the beach of rona delmon walking my dog and I saw two pipes running.

oh my god.

oh my god. right? So my heart went fast. I an IT was can and um ended up turning out. okay.

Well, what happened now on other end of my seat? Did you pick up your dog? They just 小宝宝。

Um yeah, was sort of a disaster. I still get trigger sometimes in critical to eliminate trump because I love working on the beach so much. So I actually did a session of E M D R. I don't know if I talked about A M, D, R. Specific psychological treatment for trauma is actually really cool.

You're right. IT is really cool. So I have been doing em D, R for the past two years as part of my work with my theriot, a whole host of issues.

And in particular, em D R. You guys IT is super health ler, at least a husband for addressing childhood drama. And so what IT is because it's a big long name that I can't even remember what em D R.

Stands for. But here's what you basically do. You're with a, and you revisit something from your past, its super trigger ing. And as you do that, you then stir at this ball moving back and forth on the computer screen.

And I have no clue why this actually works, but I do know that has helped me a lot, and it's so powerful and super cool that I want you to know more about IT. And so we're just going to do another episode on IT that's are gonna do. But in the meantime, doctor ayman, I have another question, and it's this, how do you come a really busy brain?

The first simple thing to do is the diatomic tic breathing, the breathing pattern that we just talked about. The second thing that we haven't talked about, but so important, is to direct your thoughts. Um I was twenty eight years old before I learned I didn't have to believe every stupid thing I thought class when I was a panchito ric c resident at the alter army medical center.

And I heard by professors say that and i'm like, no way my money with torture me you know, i'm one of seven child. I was pretty much irrelevant, you know, five sisters, this lot of chaos and my family and and my mind would try to me. And if you start writing down your negative thoughts and just asked yourself whether not their true and there's a whole process, I teach my patients, I need to be the director of my mind rather than my ancestors directed, or the voices of my parents directed, or the news, or, you know, the gossip at work.

I need to be the director. I want to be happy, connected, purposeful. I often go, this may be happy, connected and purpose, you know, melt, just because you have a thought has nothing to do with whether or not it's true or whether not is helpful.

Or, you know, everybody has crazy thoughts, Jerry science phone said, the brain is a sneaky oran. All of us have weird, crazy, stupid, sexual, violent thought. Nobody should ever here.

And just because you have a thought, IT doesn't say one thing about you. It's the storm, you know, like the weather is not the thought you have that makes you suffer. It's the thought you at time to do that make you suffer.

I want to ask you a question because I want to I want you to talk to the person that has never considered that they could direct their thoughts or that the things that they think aren't necessarily true. If there is a person hearing this, just like you were twenty eight years old sitting in a class when I first entered your mind, other than taking out a new book and just start to write down the things that are popping in your mind, is there some other way to help someone kick the door open? Because this is a revolutionary in life changing concept. When somebody first entertains the notion, doctor amen, that you can direct what you're thinking about, and you can dismiss some of the crap that you torture yourself with as untrue, how do you begin this mental training and reprogrammed?

So I don't have any time to, but if I got one, one of the first atos, I would get is is a true it's just not Carrying that .

question .

is IT around in your and so when you get a thought, my wife never listens to me. I've had that though. If you have that question, then you don't automatically have to attach to IT. You can talk back to IT.

We don't have to believe the nonsense that's going on in our head to sort of begin to think about IT like the weather and then go, does this thought serve me? Does IT help me? Is IT even true. And it's so often the lies we tell that keep us overweight, depressed and feeble minded.

Yeah, I can give everybody an example for my own life. When I was super sick, I started to tell myself this story, that my husband, Chris, was mad at me, that he was annoyed that he was taking care of me. I I was telling myself this story, that people were mad, that I had to cancel things.

And all of those thoughts made me feel terrible. And none of them were true. And so you're right, I didn't interpret them last week.

I just sort of marinated in them, but i'm realizing, sitting here listening to you, that I allowed those negative thoughts that were not even true to make me feel bad. What advice you have for people who are chronically tired? Doctor amman.

well, the first thing is get your thyroid cked.

Get your thyroid cked. okay?

One entire can go with low, that I can go with you being a meet, can go with you having low. And so, you know, always think of people and four big circles, biological, psychological, social and spiritual. And so i'm always going to, so what's the biology of tigers.

this k and .

an infection? How is your god help? What's going on in your you can also be chronically tired because you're filled with automatic negative thought, so that negativity can drive higher cortisol production and you just feel wiped up.

He also might not be sleeping well. And getting chat for sleep at is critical cacos with chronic tired ness. So if you start loudly, if you stop breathing at night, chronically tired during the day should get sleep out.
