INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT Volume 7 Daniel Amen, MD Ocean Robbins: Welcome to the Food Revolution Summit, where we explore how you can heal your body and your world — with food. This is Ocean Robbins, and I am joined by my dad and colleague, John Robbins, in welcoming our guest Dr. Daniel Amen. If you love your brain and you want to stay sharp at every stage of your life, you’re gonna love this interview. Dr. Daniel Amen is a physician, a double board-certified psychiatrist, a 10-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Amen Clinics, and a distinguished fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. Dr. Amen is the lead researcher on the world’s largest brain imaging and brain rehabilitation study on professional football players, which has established a scientific basis for profound problems in the sport of football and also pathways towards solutions.1 Dr. Amen’s 12 popular television shows about the brain have raised more than $55 million for public television. So now, Dr. Amen, we are so glad to have this time with you. For this interview, I’m gonna hand it over now to my dad, John Robbins. John Robbins: Well, thank you, Ocean. Thank you, Daniel, for being with us once again. Daniel Amen: What a joy for me to talk to both of you. John Robbins: Well, a joy to have your voice in our summit and reaching more and more people in the world with your very important, and very well-substantiated, documented, and proven message. We’re learning more and more today about how the food that we eat impacts our physical health. That’s becoming more and more well known and recognized, but somehow the idea that what we eat might influence our brain health and our mental health has been comparatively, and often, overlooked. I’ve read your wonderful new book, Memory Rescue, and if I’m understanding you correctly, you’re saying that conditions including Alzheimer’s — and other forms of dementia — and also depression, attention deficit disorder, PTSD, even bipolar disorders, are all deeply influenced by the food we eat. Daniel, am I hearing you accurately? Daniel Amen: Yeah. Food is medicine, or it’s poison. We have this epidemic in the United States — it’s really global now — of toxic food leading to smaller brains and brains that are in trouble. I argue that we’re actually in a war for the health of our brains, everywhere we go. Everywhere. And I travel a lot. Someone’s [always] trying to shove bad food down your throat that will kill you early. [Those are] the real weapons of mass destruction. I’m not kidding when I say this; ISIS has nothing on our food industry. The real weapons of mass destruction are highly processed, pesticide-sprayed, high-glycemic, low-fiber, food-like substances stored in plastic containers that are destroying the health of America. And it’s not okay because my five grandbabies... their generation will never be able to afford the tsunami of illness that’s coming their way. 1 Daniel G. Amen et al. “Impact of Playing American Professional Football on Long-Term Brain Function,” Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences 23, no. 1 (2011): 98-106, doi: 10.1176/jnp.23.1.jnp98. t FoodRevolutionSummit.org © 2018 Food Revolution Network, Inc. All rights reserved. page 1 INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT Volume 7 Daniel Amen, MD That’s a serious wake-up call. When you know Alzheimer’s disease is expected to triple in the next 25 years and all of the drug companies are actually getting out of the Alzheimer’s business because they won’t find one medicine. Medicine after medicine has failed. The answer is lifestyle. John Robbins: And an important part of that lifestyle is the food we eat. Everyone knows, really, that too much alcohol poisons the liver. It’s very widely recognized that smoking causes lung cancer, but for some reason, we don’t as readily see that brain fog and cognitive decline and dementia can be direct consequences of what we’re eating. Somehow, we have a hard time grasping that the brain is deeply damaged by poor food choices. Perhaps more so, even, than any other bodily system. Daniel, what do you say to those who have difficulty realizing that our cognitive health is inextricably linked to our overall health and that when we eat poorly and fail to optimally nourish our bodies, our brains, too, will suffer? Daniel Amen: Well, I think the science is just so clear that for people who argue with it, it’s like, “Come on. Do you read?” I published two studies, and other people have replicated it, that show as your weight goes up, the physical size and function of your brain goes down, which should scare the fat off anyone.2,3 But as blood sugar goes up, the size and function of the brain goes down. Obesity and diabetes are a direct result of the food we put in our body. It’s just painfully clear to me. And it’s funny; you know when I first started looking at the brain… That’s what we do at Amen Clinics. I have eight clinics around the country. We do a brain imaging study called SPECT that looks at blood flow and activity.4 Before I looked at my own brain, in 1991, I didn’t care one whit about it — and I’m a double board- certified psychiatrist, you know. Medical school, five years of post-graduate training, and I just didn’t care because I didn’t see it. But as soon as I started looking at it, I’m like, “Oh, this isn’t good. This needs to be better.” And how do you make it better? You stop hurting it and you start doing things that help it, and a major intervention is the food you eat. John Robbins: When we eat poorly — when we consume too much alcohol or eat junk food — we take toxins into our bodies that then course through our bloodstreams and enter our brains, where they can harm our brain’s ability to create new brain cells. As a result, our brains will begin to shrink, or atrophy, while healthy diets are strongly associated with bigger brain size. You’ve mentioned something about smaller brains. Daniel, is bigger better when it comes to the human brain? Daniel Amen: Generally, yes, bigger is better. Anything that makes it smaller, so alcohol. And just since you mentioned alcohol, so many people in the U.S. think alcohol is a health food. “Oh, I have to have my two glasses of red wine a day.” And I take that idea on in the book because alcohol’s directly related to seven different kinds of cancer. Why does my wife, who’s a nurse, put alcohol on your skin before she draws blood or gives you a shot? Because it kills bacteria. Well, what do you have in your gut? You have a hundred trillion 2 Kristen C. Willeumier, Derek V. Taylor, and Daniel G.

So, if we get that out of the way, less is clearly better. But when it comes to your brain, everything that shrinks it is bad for it. John Robbins: Is there a link between brain size and obesity? Daniel Amen: There is. In fact, these two studies I published... So the original study was published in 2008 or 2009 at the University of Pittsburgh by my friend Cyrus Raji, and they looked at MRI studies.5 What they found is people who are overweight, who had a BMI between 25 and 30, had eight percent less volume in their brain — and their brains looked significantly older.

  • Can Brain Scans Help Diagnose ADHD?
    Can Brain Scans Help Diagnose ADHD? Some ADHD doctors offer patients high-tech options for diagnosis. Are these technologies helpful in determining the cause of an ADHD child's behavioral and emotional symptoms? by Carl Sherman, Ph.D. (April/May 2006) Most of the time, doctors can diagnose a child with attention deficit disorder (ADD ADHD) simply by observing his behavior in the office, and asking his parents and/or teachers to describe his attention or behavior problems - when they started, where they occur, and so on. But sometimes doctors have trouble making a definitive ADHD diagnosis. Maybe the symptoms don't precisely fit the profile of ADD. Maybe mood swings and anxiety muddy the picture. Or perhaps the child has been taking ADD medication for a while and things have gotten worse instead of better. What now? When the diagnosis is iffy, the usual approach is to order one or more additional standard diagnostic tests (see Diagnosing Difficult Cases). But, in part because these tests have their own limitations, a handful of ADD docs have begun offering high-tech (and high-cost) diagnostic tests - notably a technique known as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), which measures brain wave activity. Can these tests really pinpoint the cause of a child's behavioral and emotional problems, as their proponents claim? Can the tests predict the most effective treatment? Or are they, as many mainstream ADD docs insist, a useful tool for research, but unproven as a means of diagnosing individual cases of ADD? SPECT and speculation The neuroimaging technique that has aroused the most interest among parents of children suspected of having ADD is SPECT.

  • Daniel G. Amen, Md
    The world needs this book—today more than ever. By reframing the dis- cussion of mental health to brain health, Dr. Daniel Amen obliterates the concept that mental health issues are someone’s fault, or that people should just deal with them any differently than they would the flu or a broken arm. Most important, Dr. Amen gives everyone not just the permission but the validation and hope to seek help for a better tomorrow. DARRIA LONG GILLESPIE, MD, emergency physician; national TV expert and host; author of bestselling book Mom Hacks The End of Mental Illness is a radical new way to overhaul psychiatry, using the lessons from neuroimaging in the context of a whole-person functional medicine approach. My family has benefited from Dr. Amen’s work, and I hope you will too. MARK HYMAN, MD, Pritzker Foundation Chair in Functional Medicine, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine; director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine Dr. Amen’s approach has revolutionized our understanding of the causes and therefore the treatment of mental illness. DAVID PERLMUTTER, MD, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Grain Brain and Brain Wash This is a great book. It presents a radical challenge to the psychiatric status quo and represents the best of the clinical transformative traditions. Dr. Amen makes disciplined observations and pursues them to the end for the sake of his patients without regard to the dense (and increasingly toxic) academic politics that make psychiatry impotent to accomplish much. MANUEL TRUJILLO, MD, clinical professor in the department of psychiatry; director of the Public Psychiatry Fellowship program at New York University School of Medicine Through his vast experience with neuroimaging, Dr.

  • Articles Webpage. Functional Neuro- Imaging
    Articles webpage. Functional Neuro- imaging [Quotes] 1. The following article appeared on Dr Daniel Amen’s website. Nation's Top Psychiatrist Sees Brain Imaging As Future of Psychiatry The follow is a series of quotes about brain imaging from Thomas Insel, MD, PhD, Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, the country’s chief psychiatrist, from a keynote lecture at the American Psychiatric Association’s Annual Meeting in 2005 in Atlanta. "Brain imaging in clinical practice is the next major advance in psychiatry." "Trial and error diagnosis will move to an era where we understand the underlying biology of mental disorders." "We are going to have to use Neuroimaging to begin to identify the systems pathology that is distributed in each of these disorders and think of imaging as a biomarker for mental illnesses." "The DSM-IV has 100%reliability and 0% validity. We need to develop biomarkers, including brain imaging, to develop the validity of these disorders." "We need to develop treatments that go after the core pathology, understood by imaging." "The end game is to get to an era of individualized care." Dr. Insel believed in 2005 that brain imaging in clinical practice would be a reality in 5 years. Amen Clinics, Inc. (ACI) thinks that brain imaging in clinical practice is long overdue. You can try to kill yourself in virtually every major city in the world, and no one will look at your brain! ACI has been working hard to bring brain imaging to those in need. Over the past 16 years we have developed a database of nearly 40,000 brain SPECT scans.

  • Fourth Quarter Newsletter 2020
    Fourth Quarter Newsletter A Brief History of the Michigan/Metro Detroit Association of Black Psychologists, Black Psychology and MPA by Ellen Keyt, PhD The author wishes to express her deep gratitude to Dr. Jane Robinson, Dr. Amorie Robinson, and Dr. Josephine Johnson for their lifelong contributions to psychology and for graciously taking the time to be interviewed for this article. Thanks also to Dr. Amorie Robinson for her archival work at the Metro Detroit ABPsi, for sharing the organization’s documented timeline and for reviewing this article prior to publication. No one article could completely describe the rich history, accomplishments, and people of the Metro Detroit ABPsi; additional references are included for continued exploration at the end of this piece. At the height of the Civil Rights Movement and in the midst of the Vietnam War, as early as 1966 a small group of Black psychologists in Michigan began meeting informally once a month at Mr. Mike’s, a bar/restaurant at the edge of Wayne State University’s campus in Detroit, Michigan. Dr. Jane Robinson, later known as Michigan’s Mother of Black Psychologists, was among them. “We were concerned with the biased testing of Black children,” stated Dr. Robinson recently, adding that although there were other issues, biased testing resulted in disproportionate numbers of Black children being “labeled” and then funneled into special education classes, which had damaging long term effects on their lives. Dr. Robinson’s description of purpose for these early meetings is consistent with national researcher, author and lecturer Dr. Kevin Cokely’s assertion that, “Black psychology was born from the struggle of Black psychologists who were constantly exposed to messages of Black deficiency, pathology, and inferiority,” (Cokely, 2020).
