(instrumental music) Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. I am so glad that you're here today because, you know, when I started the Mel Robbins podcast, I always had this vision that it would be like you and I taking a walk twice a week and just doing life together. And then occasionally, when we felt like it, if they were cool enough, we would invite some of the world's leading experts and interesting people to go on that walk with us so that we could learn from them. Well, what if I told you that I was able to get you an appointment with the world's leading expert on brain health? Somebody that has scanned 200,000 brains! Somebody with clinics around the world that see 4,000 people a month! Someone who has written 12 New York Times bestselling books on the brain and brain health. What, what would you say if I said, "Hey, I got us a free appointment with the world's leading expert on your brain health?" Well, you know what I would say if you said that to me? I would say, "So? I, I, I don't care. Why, why do I care about my brain health? It's basically like three pounds of macaroni in between my ears, and some days it gives me a headache. So what do I care?" Here's why you should care. The reason why you should care is that there are simple things that you can do to take better care of your brain. And when you take better care of your brain, you will be happier, healthier. You can make a huge difference in symptoms of anxiety and depression and ADHD. It is literally the place that you need to start when it comes to a happier and healthier you. Our expert today that's joining us is Dr. Daniel Amen. Dr. Daniel Amen has been practicing medicine, he has been a psychiatrist for 40 years. He is one of the world's leading experts on brain health. Um, I'm telling you, he's the OG. He was on speed dial with the NFL during all of the concussion hearings because he understands that in order to improve your health, you have to improve the structure and functioning and blood flow in your brain, right? It makes sense, doesn't it? You got to tune up the engine in your car, so of course, you've got to take better care of your brain. And he's not gonna overwhelm you. One of the reasons why I love Dr. Daniel Amen is, first of all, he's fun, he's hilarious, and he talks in takeaways. So I am here with you. I got my pen. I am ready to learn.
