Risk factors 1. Low blood flow Cafeen, akchohol, nicorine, weed, being overweight, sedentary lifestyle 2. Not learning NEW things 3. Loneliness-stop being an asshole 4.Red meat - toi mucj iron 5.Inflamation * take care of your mouth and gums-floss 6. Not eating fish 7.Standard American diet - processed food 8.Blaming everything on genetics (genes load the gun, our actions pull the trigger)

You are really good at interviewing. You let your guest talk, but also interject with excellent questions and then give them time to elaborate. You have an excellent style

Go outdoors and breathe in fresh air. Soak up some sun...intake all things moderately. Take a chill pill. Relax. Go hiking. Go swimming. Walk somewhere...preferably at an ambling pace, and pick up and examine seashells, flowers, leaves and rocks and marvel at their beauty and individuality. Read a devotional book. Sing and pray every day. Psalm 121...all good stuff.

Caffeine at one point was ruining my life. It depletes your body of magnesium, stimulates your fight or flight nervous system (stress). Not to mention the ups and downs I experienced on the daily. Quitting it has been monumental for me!! Game changer!

I quit Caffeine, my one eye twitched for 4 weeks 😂 I don't regret it at all I have more energy than ever before. Im 51 don't drink, don't smoke. The last time i went to a doctor was over 10 years ago. 👍🏻

Keeping my home neat and organized helps my brain. I no longer wander around looking for stuff.

The problem today is most people always think that, you only need a good job to get rich... These millionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't know exists...

study showed that coffee consumption can only affect gray matter volume and does not have an effect on hippocampal volume- take what all these experts say with the pinch of salt dudes, for every well researched “scientific” opinion there is an opposite position. Also id like to add we talk so much about living longer and avoiding those things that impact our health negatively that we forget that it’s the QUALITY of your life that’s important not how long you live, being a morally upright person and assuming noble responsibility and doing good by others is what really matters not just living a long life with good health granted that helps of course in order to be a upstanding human being it helps to to be healthy for longer but it’s not vital. We need to speak more about what makes a good person and a good citizen more than focusing on diet and habits around long term health.

My dad was skinny and very physically active. No drugs, little caffeine, no Nicotine etc avid reader. Still got alzheimers as well as many members of his family.

I'm 69 yrs old and unlike all my friends of the same age I am always learning new things. I don't drink alchohol or smoke. I play on my X Box and use flight Simulators on my gaming Pc. I have 3 Motorbikes and I love reading my Kindle !!!! I take Cod liver oil tablets every day, and eat a bit of meat, kidney beans, lentils etc !!!! I have a cup of coffee every few months and drink about 10 cups of tea per month !!!! I am much sharper than my friends who talk about the Government all the Time. I am interested in the most cutting edge Science !!!! I repair electronics, machines, my Motorbikes and tools. I am always thinking !!!! I live with my 2 Dogs and I'm happy on my own !!!! I was always worried about going senile because all my relatives were insane as they got older, but this was caused by cigarettes and alchohol !!!! I seem to be doing well with my brain, and I have to be careful not to explain stuff that people don't understand. Everyone I know likes Quiz Shows, Soap Operas and Newspapers !!!! I never watch TV !!!! I like stretching my mind trying to understand what is Reality, as Prof Donald Hoffman is researching. And I want to know about the Universe, Black Holes, Neutron Stars, Cosmic Strings, Strange Matter Etc. which nobody I know has a clue about !!!! I never married or had children and I am really happy leading a Stress Free Life now I'm Retired !!!!

let us not confuse being alone with loneliness

I turn to decaf once in a while. Has only 3-7 mg of caffeine vs 70-100 mg caffeine per cup of regular coffee. Actually prefer the taste. Still wakes me up a little bit in the morning. Sleep better, more energy, less brain fog, fewer trips to the bathroom, no more bathroom breaks when I am sleeping, no more heart racing or restlessness, and better for the mood.

Post twist: He's 25 years old Edit: I now feel bad because there's actually some really good advice in this video 😂

For me to die faster is to live with someone, im so much better and happier by myself and also you dont age becsuse no one is there to control you or to follow them, amen. 🙏

I’ve been saying this for over 20 years Thank God this video was created This video is for everyone. Fight to stay healthy Always make wise decisions. Focus everybody🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

As my grandma use to say: Everything in moderation chico. This dude seems to to thrive on No.

There are people who CHOOSE to live alone because they VALUE their privacy/freedom...These people are definitely NOT lonely or anti-social....But many likely have anti-establishment views now days for GOOD REASON !!.. So let us all say AMEN to that !!

Everything is a medicine or poison. Treat your body with the respect it deserves, it will tell you all you need.

"If you are not an asshole you'd be probably less lonely" I did not believe my ears.....I know so many lonely people who are very kind but suffer from illness (alone at home) poverty (because of that) and have for exemple no children or husband. Insinuating they might be assholes is not what a psychiatrist would say. So, let me be an asshole now; This psychiatrist is not aware how society funtions these days. So many lonely people in this world.......because its all about money and score

Gingivitis, brain disease, heart disease, a lot of these are because of diet. Literally everything he listed damn near can change with a change of diet.

This is just what I need!! I can't hang during the long interviews, lol. And there are so many great ones! So I start one, then 20 minutes later, I get distracted. Then... I see another under the one I'm watching- and I really wanna hear that information!! 😂🤦‍♀️

I've been off caffeine for 4 months now and my anxiety is no where near as bad. Also I was getting paranoid thoughts before but it doesn't happen as much now. I was on 6 instant coffees a day. Also I haven't felt depressed since quitting it

Tripping is not really bad but find a good mycologist Who will teach you the right things you need to know

So much value packed in a 10-minute video. Thank you!!!

Subbed, liked and dinged that bell. Keep this great content coming, as it's always great to hear varied and informed opinions on so many important and pertinent subjects affecting society and its health and well being today.

Thank you for covering the topic so comprehensively.

Wow! This is a huge eyeopener. Thank you for this.

Excellent guest selection

I don’t know if this would be helpful to other women, but I read that caffeine negatively affects women more so than men (for some hormone related reasons I can’t remember now but it was Alissa Vitti who wrote about it). Cutting out caffeine has been of massive benefit to me personally, my energy and moods are much better nowadays!

Great interview with Dr. AMEN.

Great, that you have Dr. Amen as your guest. I love him since years.

I have become addicted to your podcasts. Such amazing guests you are choosing! And between this guy and Michael Pollen I am reluctantly cutting my caffiene to a couple of cups a week.

This is a really good channel and an excellent interviewer . Wish media would interview like you

He lost me at: “no red meat” “no fish” garble. My family lasts well into their 90’s with sharp minds and bodies: by working hard & eating meats. Thats all the proof I need

Been a fan of Dr Amen for 20 yrs. Wttw in Chicago used to play his talks all the time.

He forgot to mention the greatest factor in mantaining brain health, muscle mass. It has been proven to be more beneficial than crosswords or sudoku. EDIT: there is an indication that grip and overall strenght are more beneficial than just the size of the muscles.

Loving your podcast/RU-vid - just found it but am finding it really interesting. Keep up the great work

Really great interview. Thanks.

Thank you for this one. I will subscribe for it 😊

🙏🏼thank you for “a little bit is ok” on the subject of coffee. In my life, as I have educated myself on how to take care of my brain -(C-PTSD damage) I have stopped So many things…….. I don’t overdo and do many things to help my brain stay healthy & heal. I do appreciate all the great info you share. I wish your products were affordable to us elders on SS.😢

I do love Dr. Amen. I am now part of the 15%.

Great great Doctor Amen, thank you!!

Why not a single challenging question is being asked? I noticed that a lot of podcasts have become some sort of echo chambers where guests just say stuff with no push back from a host at all. Why on Earth caffeine would limit blood flow? Why red meat is bad for the brain? How all these things were concluded?

Very informative video.

I am currently a caffeine addict. 😢

Subscribed. Well done! Thanks for your content. 👑

ex coffee person here. I was expert with it too. Like making sure of the coffee half life thing. Basically I’d make sure of this double habit where I can have coffee for certain things like productivity. Coffee half life is that once consumed it stays in ur mini adrenaline blood flow for another 6 hours. Hence sorting out the time of ur usual / normal bedtime make sure it’s before 6 hours the time u drink coffee. I’m an introvert, went thru a lot analysis by being a coffee person. As a person myself coffee is like a nitrous oxide in a car. Depends on how steady & focus you can be but you can’t stop fidgeting at certain time. And also it’s a hyperactive stuff for certain people. I noticed a lot of stuff by minimising to all the way quitting it until further study noticed & learnt. I’ve learnt that I’ve become more aware of my thoughts, surrounding, and avoided any negative energy from a person in family to improvising my own self care rehab. This method is very good for those who had nearly exploded in anger at certain time of their lives or of any explosive minded people. An ideal method if intending to be careful around close loved ones. Though, I still treat myself sometimes once a month with coffee otherwise hot chocolate.

I would like to see the actual studies on the red meat and brain correlation. Many people who follow the carnivore / keto-vore diet have increased brain function, better memory, increased energy etc..

Thanks Leadership. Learnt a lot. Just subscribed as well. From Swaziland 🇸🇿

I read his book, "End Of Mental Illness." I learned so much.

I will subscribe this was really a good video

its a bummer all the things i enjoyed smoking and coffee and sweet stuff are all without a doubt bad for our health in a big way. so i had to stop consuming them but after a whille i stopped craveing and started to enjoy the benifits, sleeping better a stronger appitite better digestion, more energy and a genral sense of calm.

Great report

Wow, awesome info.

as a Biologist - I promote Inner Strength Training - to be as Independent of anything as much as possible. To live strictly Essential. Then we achieve our max Range of Motion and Action. This is the point of observation in awareness and navigation...

Excellent interview and advice. Love the humour too! Mediterranean diet for me, everything in balance, keep moving (yoga), limit coffee, then substitute with chicory (many health benefits), drink lots of water, enjoy fresh air... I'm retired but make sure I keep learning something new and challenging every day. My brain and body has never been this active😅.

This man made me subscribe to your channel!

Great channel and video😊

Wow! This was eye opening! I am 28 and up to this day I have never drank or smoked or vaped or used any drugs, BUT I am guilty of the rest of what doc. talked about! Damn! And here I am wondering why do I have brain fog and memory issues!

I don’t say this often enough to people but you and your team deserve to hear this: thank you all for doing such an excellent job on prevention! You all change people’s life for the better. Who deserve more subscribers than Mr. Beast! Keep up this amazing work and maybe bring some more psychologists on the show! Maybe Dr. Peterson ?

Very insightful ❤

Thx you He is absolutely right

I have been totally off caffeine cause I was in a psych ward a few times. It did nothing for me

Wow! Dr Amen is so down to earth and informative! I’m having a small bit of sadness over decreasing my caffeine, but it will be worth it. Great interview! Thank you

Oh my God! So informative! Had no idea about caffeine!!!! Thank you!

Great content! Thanks for sharing. :-)

What was damaging my brain was smoking weed, excessive masturbation, junk food and low vitamin D levels; once I fixed this my brain fog cleared and my energy and focus levels went up!

Too much of anything will have side effects on your health.

My Grandfather is 86, he drinks coffee every morning with chickory. He also stays active, mows his own lawn and does household chores he can at his physical level. He also makes it a task to complete something that challenges his brain everyday, solitaire, puzzles etc. No signs of any degenerative brain disease. He may forget one or two things, but he can recall childhood events, and remember his grocery list each week among all kinds of other things. I think it comes down to keeping yourself and brain active as well as genetics

I drink coffee and tea and the caffeine (about 180 mg.per day) makes me feel awake, alive, interested, focused, inspired and active. I sleep poorly, though. I've tried stopping and I feel lethargic, depressed and muddled.

This is a great video, just to add if you're looking for a vegan source of Omega 3's seeds/nuts have lots, particularly flax seed, hemp seed, and walnuts

I’m lonely, but I do keep learning new stuff. Courses, exhibitions, this podcast, travel, books….

🔥🔥🔥❤️ excellent episode

I watch and listen a lot of health stuff online and this was the first time I heard the negative effect on bloodflow of caffeine. Hopefully cutting down on its use will have some benefits on my clarity en memory.

I like how this guy just correlated loneliness to being an asshole, as if every lonely person is one. To me, he sounds like an asshole and a boss I wouldn't want to be around because I feel like he would put me in that category even if I tried to go out of my way not to get put in it.

Basically, any dopaminergic product is going to mess up the brain (and I think they also make us mean). I learned by trial and error that if I'm not learning something new all the time, my brain gets depressed. If I don't put it to work, it turns on me.

Hello Dr.Amen long time no see.l am happy to be here.😊

More people should see this

I used to drink 2x2L bottles of Pepsi max DAILY. And after a couple weeks of just not drinking any caffeine I was so much better. My memory was back to normal, I could get up in the morning easier, think, talk better. WAY more energy. If I was tired I had to fix my life to get round it. Wayyyy better off without it.

Plenty of keto and carnivores who would dispute the no beef recommendation, but other than that I agree with it all.

Love this!

Great advice 👍 👌 👏. I LOVE MY BRAIN Many thank for the advice

As far as I understand, gum diseases do not occur on their own. They are associated with gastrointestinal chemistry issues, excessive bacterial growth, and other intestinal disorders.

When i got hashimotos i got brain symptoms, gum symptoms, pretty much laid up and swollen for 13 years now...terrified because i cant reverse the autoimmunity

Suggestion for a topic...Outcomes of Energy Drinks on the body. Thx for a great show. 👍

Balance. 🔑 Most are not getting enough sleep and wake up draggy. That's also a sign! Take care of your vessel the best you can.

I gave up caffeine for 4 weeks and never got any energy back at all, sleep or no sleep. Headaches for a day tops but my iron and thyroid test as healthy yet I have no energy without caffeine. I wouldn’t be able to function let alone work. I average one coffee and one or two green teas a day

Finally, someone who tells the truth about caffeine ~

thank you. thank you. thank you

Love dr amen so good

Made the switch to decaf a few months back. Was finding I was really struggling throughout the working day and felt exhausted all the time. As a result I was guzzling cups of coffee in order to get some energy, which now in hindsite I can see it was the coffee making me feel poorly. Since reducing my caffine intake, I feel a noticeable improvement in my energy levels and concentration. Saying that, I very occasionally do get an espresso to feel that initial caffine buzz. Then back to decaf again the following day.

Huberman knows certain amount of caffeine is fine. don’t drink too much just enough dose to help you focus for the task ahead which is 30 minutes from when you consume caffeine

Damn I love this podcast 🎉❤

Good healthy relationship where people care about you and focus on your Creator....this is the key

I gave up coffee for cacao in the morning. 😂

Steven Bartlett - loving the fact that we get to see your deliciously decorated studio/apartment & to see the guest pulling out a stainless- steel travel mug … Nb - old habits - huh ;)

Thank you. 🙏

Thanks
