Summary of Transcript:
If one were to be an “evil genius” looking to create the worst possible lifestyle for people in terms of their health, they would encourage children to play video games and use social media, retire at 55, eat processed foods, avoid getting exercise and sunlight, hit soccer balls and play tackle football with their head, be exposed to air and water pollution, use personal products with hidden ingredients, think of alcohol as a health food, and watch negative news stories. This lifestyle would lead to poor blood flow to the brain, inflammation, genetic vulnerability, head trauma, toxins, mental health issues, weakened immunity, and infections.

7 Steps to Boost Brain Health
Everyone dreams of success, financial rewards, and helping others, but many of us struggle to make it happen. Low resilience, high anxiety, and low energy can all hold us back. But what if the real issue is poor brain health?
Dr. Daniel Amen, clinical psychiatrist of the Amen Clinic, has identified 7 steps to boost your brain health and help you reach the levels of success you’re looking for.
1. Avoid Risk Factors
Dr. Amen emphasizes the importance of avoiding risk factors like highly processed, pesticide sprayed, high glycemic, low fiber food. These “weapons of mass destruction” can ruin your health.
2. Break the Mental Illness Loop
Anxiety and depression are not just mental health issues, they are brain health concerns. Dr. Amen encourages us to break the mental illness loop and take back control of our lives.
3. Create Good Brain Habits
Creating good brain habits is essential to success. Dr. Amen recommends that we get enough sleep, exercise, and nutrition. He also warns us that the fat on our bodies is not our friend.
4. Heal Your Past
The past is always connected to the present. Dr. Amen encourages us to heal our past so we can move forward.
5. Build an Amazing Brain
Dr. Amen suggests that we build an amazing brain by avoiding contact sports, which can damage the brain in the same way as cocaine.
6. Hypnotize Your Brain
Dr. Amen is not a fan of positive thinking, but instead encourages accurate thinking. He suggests that we hypnotize our brains with positive messages that will help us achieve our goals.
7. Set Your Intentions & Goals
Dr. Amen encourages us to tell our brains what we want because they are always listening. He also suggests that we only consume food that loves us back.
By following Dr. Amen’s 7 steps to boost brain health, we can unlock our potential and reach the levels of success we’ve been dreaming of.
