Description

Dr. Daniel Amen is a polarizing figure. He is hugely popular, with a string of successful clinics, books and TV shows - but derided by some of his professional peers. The founder of mental and physical health centers, Amen Clinics, he believes traditional psychiatry is missing an important component. Dr. Amen says many psychiatrists overlook an extremely important tool of thorough brain analysis. A double board-certified psychiatrist and clinical neuroscientist, he uses single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scans - which measure brain activity - to address issues like depression, anxiety and attention deficit disorder. In this LLAMA podcast interview with Peter Bowes, Dr. Amen explains his idea of a brain-healthy lifestyle - and why it is key pillar in the quest for a long health span. He also answers critics who have suggested that his methods lack scientific validity.FlexBeam red light therapyRecharge Health is offering a discount on the purchase of FlexBeam, the wearable red light therapy device which targets key parts of the body to improve sleep/treat injuries/sooth aches/pains.  Sale price US$369 (down from $449) + an extra $10 off use code equinox  Sale ends Sept 21: 0259 PST DoNotAgeDoNotAge.org is offering listeners to LLAMA a 10% discount on its range of products – NAD boosters, Sirtuin activators, senolytics and more.  Any health queries can be answered by emailing the team at hello@donotage.orgUse the code LLAMA at checkout. - Time-line Mitopure (a highly pure form of Urolithin A) boosts the health of our mitochondria – the battery packs of our cells – and improves muscle strength.
