Chris is by far a better interviewer/intellectual partner than the others even with large audiences. He’s not just smart and wise, he’s an active listener who asks incisive questions (one inquiry at a time) then gets the gold for his listeners. Thank you Chris

I ran a deep research with ChatGPT about caffeine (from coffee): while coffee causes acute (temporary) blood flow reduction to the brain due to vasoconstriction, with moderate intake the body adapts and baseline cerebral blood flow returns to normal, without persistent reduction. Coffee overall seems to have a net long-term and protective effect.

I’ve been following Dr. Daniel Amen’s work for a while now and I’m always amazed at how he combines science, compassion and real-world impact. The brain isn’t just an organ- it’s a storyteller and this episode reminded me how much of our healing starts with seeing what’s really going on inside. So much wisdom packed in here.

Fascinating. My sister in law had a jaw infection which correlated with a mental breakdown. She told no one about the infection as her life fell apart & she was sectioned twice. Finally the infection was treated & she recovered

This guy is the only person to really makes me want to quit smoking weed. I love it SO much and life is so much easier with it… but damn I be kinda stupid sometimes.

I loved this! I've been listening to and reading everything i can on brain health since having a few concussions a few years ago. This was a summary of my learnings. So well interviewed. You kept him from going on tangents and ensured your questions were answered. Thank you!

Seeing an image of a damaged brain vs a healthy one is a good idea. Helped me to stop smoking seeing damaged lungs shrunken and blackened inside formaldehyde jars. Gruesome. Never forgot.

Dr. Amen, please keep doing what you are doing, especially studying brain wiring and relationships, this is so crucial and a space that needs to be explored.
