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.

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.

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.

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 !!!!

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🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

1:55 - Caffeine increases cortisol which affect muscle gains.

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. 🙏

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

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 !!

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!

🙏🏼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.😢

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

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😅.

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.

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.

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 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 ?

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

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.

Stay in the Word of God. It’s good for all your health! 💯

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

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

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.

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...

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!

let us not confuse being alone with loneliness

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

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.

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

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

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

"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

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.

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..

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...

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

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

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

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 am currently a caffeine addict. 😢

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

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.

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.

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?

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

If you can't find the time to learn anything because you work a lot. Try doing your work as a mirror. That is to say, use the opposite hand, leg, side that you usually do. As an example, use your left hand to write something out if you're right handed.

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

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

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

00:26 💡 Prevent or treat the 11 major risk factors to keep your brain healthy according to the "bright Minds" mnemonic. 01:35 🧠 Caffeine consumption can have significant costs, including constricting blood flow and affecting brain health negatively. 03:24 🚫 Loneliness, lack of new learning, and a sedentary lifestyle are risk factors for dementia. 06:35 🔥 Inflammation, poor oral hygiene, and low omega-3 intake can contribute to brain damage. 08:11 🍔 Processed foods, genetics, and lifestyle choices play significant roles in brain health.

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

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.

Excellent guest selection

Its alarming. I have a lot of changes to make. Well fortunately I've never had a weight problem but there are a number of other things I have issues with. I'll have to cut out coffee, alcohol, I'll have to become more social, I'll probably have to go back to school of some kind. Even being around family can be an issue with the bad habits and influences. Also 📱 and sexual addiction habits are the worst

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

I don’t know about you guys, but I found it deeply satisfying to watch this video early this morning while everybody was still asleep, with my favourite cup of coffee. 😉

Do we know if caffeine causes less blood flow to the brain, or do people with low cerebral blood flow drink more coffee to try to compensate?

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

So I watched this one yesterday and then the procrastination expert today. I enjoyed both but the guy today contradicted the brain specialist. You need them both on the same show.

I always read that up to four cups of green tea or coffee in the morning improved health and longevity, but in the last half of the day was bad because it messes with sleep (?)

Finally, someone who tells the truth about caffeine ~

Thank you for covering the topic so comprehensively.

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 will subscribe this was really a good video

‘Tea (as in black tea) acts as a stimulant and, to a certain extent, produces intoxication. The action of coffee and many other popular drinks is similar. The first effect is exhilarating. The nerves of the stomach are excited; these convey irritation to the brain, and this in turn is aroused to impart increased action to the heart and short-lived energy to the entire system. Fatigue is forgotten; the strength seems to be increased. The intellect is aroused, the imagination becomes more vivid. Because of these results, many suppose that their tea or coffee is doing them great good. But this is a mistake. Tea and coffee do not nourish the system. Their effect is produced before there has been time for digestion and assimilation, and what seems to be strength is only nervous excitement. When the influence of the stimulant is gone, the unnatural force abates, and the result is a corresponding degree of languor and debility.’ This was published in 1905 in the book the Ministry of Healing. Well… science is catching up on caffeine. Thanks for not being afraid of speaking about this popular drug.

Learning all what concerns our life existence belongs self love so the heart " is happy " , coherence and pumps lots of blood flow there for , in order not to missuse the brain it should be lead by heart intelligence

Very informative video.

Please can you get the Neurologist couple Dr Sherzai’s authors of the Alzheimer’s Solution (must read!). I’d be interested to know what their opinion is if caffeine. They have got SO MUCH interesting knowledge and they’re just awesome

Great great Doctor Amen, thank you!!

the man really paused at 1.13 when our guys asked him "can we pause on blood flow"

I would take much of what this guy says with a grain of salt. Or a cup of coffee.

Being an asshole helps alot not being lonely, if you want to be lonely try being different, or bullied by an asshole !

Watching this while getting a coffee

When I’ve got very bad health like I unfortunately do at the moment 24/7 365, I pray non stop to Jehovah God & he ALWAYS answers my prayers & guides me to better solutions. Who could be a better Doctor then the one who actually created the human body & everything in it. ❤️

I'd be very interested to know how the doctor responds to all of the research in the last couple of years re the health benefits of coffee, one specifically, as an Alzheimer preventative.

Holy shit everything I do minus dental health.

Great interview with Dr. AMEN.

I drink coffee that's half decaf and half caffinated, and it’s just as effective. Get a good quality decaf you like the taste of to mix with your favourite coffee and you won't regret it. However, i don't agree with his judgement of those who drop out of school become stagnant and stop thinking. Stagnation is a choice or condition, not a result of fleeing the system of schooling. Many geniuses in society dropped out of school and lived to an old age without dementia. If you know what you want out of life and you're ready to go out and try and get it, then dropping out of school is a brilliant choice.

I'm sure there's merit to living a joyless life without a cup of coffee or the occasional glass of wine. Personally I choose to be more worried about poor diet (ultra processed foods, high sugar, artificial ingredients etc), inactivity and obesity. I am more alert now after a year of weight loss and exercise than I have been in decades.

I gave up coffee for cacao in the morning. 😂

So stop everything...got it

Caffeine is a miracle drug for most employers, it keeps you productive & gets you through those long hours/night shifts. So of course caffeine has no side effects.

i just recently stopped drinking coffee due to major panic attacks, been drinking coffee every day for years. are some of the effects able to be reversed like a shrunken hippocampus?

He's absolutely right about caffeine. But people love it so much and are addicted to it that they get offended by the truth, including me 😂 On a serious note, it triggers my epilepsy seizures!
