Can THIS Controversial Scan Reveal The Truth About Brain Health?
"If I can see it, I can change it"When he began studying psychiatry, Dr. Daniel Amen's dad asked him why he didn't want to become a "real doctor". And that was just the beginning of a career full of profession-related misconceptions, including the stigma-loaded narrative that psychiatry is only for "crazy" people.But instead of accepting the prevailing narrative, Dr. Amen worked to revolutionize the psychiatric field from within. Having been trained as an x-ray technician, Dr. Amen was one of extremely few psychiatric doctors who was actually interested in studying the brain itself. Using controversial brain-imaging SPECT scans has allowed him to catch problems in the brain before they develop into more serious conditions (such as Alzheimer's), and also to identify the physical causes of trauma (i.e. alcohol, physical trauma, nutrition).Dr. Amen has overcome huge social and institutional pressures in his career, to become America's "most famous psychiatrist". He has also published multiple best-selling books (including a #1 New York Times bestseller called Memory Rescue).In this episode of the podcast....Dr. Daniel Amen, talks to Dr. Gundry about why he hates the term "mental illness", why getting less sleep hinders your ability to make good decisions (gulp!), how you can actively change your mood by killing ANTs (automatic negative thoughts), and why he believes that psychiatric problems are actually brain problems.Get in touch with Daniel Amen:Website - YouTube - Linkedin -TwitterI WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU!
