“Freud was wrong. Penis envy is not the cause of anybody's problem. It's the brain. The thing you really want bigger, better, healthier, is your brain.” -Dr. Daniel AmenFast food, caffeine, alcohol, the news–these modern health disasters leave a physical imprint on our brains, that you can actually SEE on a brain scan. Today's guest, Dr. Daniel Amen, says mental health conditions like anxiety, depression and ADD are actually brain health issues, and knowing this makes them easier to treat, especially in our kids. For example, he gives these startling statistics:54% of teenage girls report being persistently sad. 34% have thought of suicide. 24% have planned to kill themselves and 13% have tried. “This is unlike anything we have experienced in my lifetime, maybe ever,” he says. “It's a shit show. And nobody's talking about the actual physical health of their brain.”Dr. Amen is a physician, and adult and child psychiatrist. He's a 12-time New York Times bestselling author of numerous books, including Change Your Brain, Change Your Life; The End of Mental Illness; and Healing ADD.He co-authored his newest title, Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with renowned child psychologist Charles Fay, Ph.D., president of the Love and Logic Institute, Inc.Dr. Amen turned to psychiatry for help after his wife tried ending her life. He fell in love with the profession. But he realised it was the only medical speciality that doesn't treat the organ itself. He set out on a mission to change that. Since founding Amen Clinics, he's scanned over 250,000 brains and created the world's largest database of brain scans for psychiatry. In this episode, Dr. Amen explains how the modern world is damaging the very structure of our brains, and reveals how we can start properly caring for this hidden organ. He explores the cognitive decline caused by fast food, alcohol, coffee, and obesity. And he shares the shocking truth of child mental illness, while teaching us all how to raise and parent mentally resilient kids.Highlights(3:23) What brought Dr Amen to the field(6:58) Lessons from 250,000 brain scans(11:51) Understanding the organ itself(15:26) How alcohol impacts the brain(19:21) Top things harming our brains(22:39) New study on ultra-processed food(26:41) Tips on being mentally strong(33:04) Raising Mentally Strong Kids(39:18) Truth about kids' mental health(42:22) Secret to successful parenting(44:00) The penguin story(51:55) Is your parenting style breeding strength or weakness?(59:03) #1 thing for brain healthVisit: https://www.amenclinics.com/https://danielamenmd.com/Sponsor: Shout out to our episode sponsor BodyBio.

Break anxiety, phobias, addictions and gain control over anything in your life with cognitive hypnotherapy.“Potentially anything that the mind creates, cognitive hypnotherapy can help with” –Trevor SilvesterCan't stop biting your nails? Constantly feeling down or anxious? Struggling to lose weight? Can't kick that addiction? Try cognitive hypnotherapy!When Trevor Silvester founded the Quest Institute, he introduced the idea of combining hypnosis with cognitive behavioural therapy, and the results have been extraordinary. This breakthrough method of therapy doesn't just treat symptoms with a one–size–fits–all approach, it gets to the root cause of a person's issues–and gives them the tools to gain control over anything in their life.Trevor's innovative therapy approach turned Tim's life around, helping him sell a company, get into biohacking, and better understand those around him. That success compelled Tim to join Quest as a practitioner, and Trevor became his mentor for more than five years.In this episode, Trevor explains the hypnotic language of wordweaving, a tool that gave Tim the life-changing line, “follow the fun.” The conversation explores the different trance states we all live in, and how cognitive hypnotherapy isn't about hypnotising you to get better, but de-hypnotising you from what you thought was wrong.And, as Trevor explains, we each have the answer to solve our own problems locked within us.Highlights(2:39) What you can achieve by knowing cognitive hypnotherapy(7:38) What IS cognitive hypnotherapy?(14:01) Everyday trance states(19:24) Yes, you CAN be hypnotised(25:52) What issues can cog hyp treat?(32:54) The story of Mrs Toothbrush(39:14) The hypnotic language of wordweaving(44:21) Tim's major breakthrough; “follow the fun”(48:08) An actionable take-home messageVisit: https://www.questinstitute.co.uk/ Sponsor: Shout out to our episode sponsor CAROL Bike!

How to heal your microbiome; the problem with fibre; and why it's good to be gassy.“We've done a pretty good job of trying to annihilate the most important part of us, and that's our microbiome. But the good news is that you can develop a good relationship with [it] and save your life if you're interested.” – Steven Gundry, M.D.Whether it's headaches, anxiety, heart problems, diabetes or cancer, most disease starts in the gut (especially if it's a leaky gut). But finding a fix can be confusing–what exactly are you meant to eat?Dr. Steven Gundry, a cardiothoracic surgeon by profession, pivoted his career after decades of treating heart patients to focus on food, nutrition and the gut.After watching a patient recover from “untreatable” coronary artery disease through diet and supplements, what he once considered pseudoscience became the answer to many health problems.Beginning with The Plant Paradox, Dr. Gundry has authored numerous bestselling books on how to eat to make nice with your gut and improve your energy. His latest, Gut Check: Unleash the Power of Your Microbiome to Reverse Disease and Transform Your Mental, Physical, and Emotional Health, goes even further into the influences of the microbiome on your mood and emotions.
