STRAIGHT UP PODCAST | TRENT SHELTON X DR AMEN

About this video

Shelton interviews Dr. Daniel Amen, a psychiatrist and brain imaging specialist, about brain health and mental wellness. Dr. Amen explains his use of SPECT imaging to diagnose brain issues, discusses how trauma (including generational trauma) affects the brain, and shares practical strategies for improving brain health. Shelton shares his personal experience seeking Dr. Amen’s help for his daughter and himself after football-related concerns, and the two discuss how automatic negative thoughts, physical brain health, and daily mental practices all influence emotional well-being.

Key takeaways

• According to Dr. Amen, people often neglect brain health because they cannot see their brain, but optimizing this organ is essential since it controls thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
• Dr. Amen teaches that suffering comes not from the thoughts you have, but from the thoughts you choose to believe and attach meaning to
• Dr. Amen recommends daily mental health practices like starting each day with ’today is going to be a great day,’ questioning negative thoughts, and focusing on what went well before sleep
