TMHS 671: Use These Physical & Mental Ex...

SHAWN STEVENSON
About this episode

Some people can make big sweeping changes and overhaul their health seemingly overnight. But for most folks, real change comes in small incremental steps like drinking more water and getting more steps. Our lifestyle choices have far-reaching impacts on our health, and implementing one small change every day can lead to incredible results over time.

This is why I love Dr. Daniel Amen’s new book, Change Your Brain Every Day. With over 40 years of experience in clinical psychiatry and the world’s largest database of brain imaging, Dr. Amen is an unmatched expert on brain health. In Change Your Brain Every Day, he shares practical daily habits you can use to gain a healthier brain one day at a time. 

On this episode of The Model Health Show, Dr. Amen is back to share effective and realistic daily habits you can implement to improve your brain health and cognitive function. You’re going to hear powerful insights on how quickly the brain responds to lifestyle changes, how focusing on your brain health can improve your relationships, and why making your mental health a daily practice can yield lasting results. Your brain is an indispensable part of your health, your consciousness, and your entire existence. Dr. Amen’s insights and tips are life-changing, and I hope this interview resonates with you!

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • How quickly the brain can respond to taking supplements.
  • The importance of making mental health and brain health a daily practice.
  • Why loving your brain is the first step to a healthier brain. 
  • A powerful question you should ask yourself before making any decision.
  • What brain reserve is, and how to build it. 
  • How to harness the power of responsibility to improve your life. 
  • The truth about your thoughts.
  • How generational trauma can affect us, and how to release it.
  • The effects marijuana has on blood flow and brain health.
  • How marijuana usage impacts rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide in teens. 
  • Specific tools and supplements that are effective for treating depression. 
  • The importance of having reverence and fear for substances. 
  • How playing racket sports can improve your brain health and longevity.
  • The reparative effects of hyperbaric oxygen on brain health.
