Speaker 1: I think of happiness as a daily practice, and appreciating

70
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: the people you love is just critical to it. Yeah, yeah,

71
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: and I really appreciate you. You you said you were

72
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: happy to be here when we were just filming a

73
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: seconds ago, and then you're telling me that I looked good,

74
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: and I was saying to you, it's because I've been

75
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: doing all the right things and following your advice. And

76
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: I remember, I think it was our second interview, not

77
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: our first one, our second interview. I was saying to you, like,

78
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: I have only one cheat day a week now, and

79
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: you just look to me and you were like, well,

80
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: you know why they call it a cheat day, right,

81
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: And I didn't. I was like, what do you mean?

82
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: And you were like, yeah, because you're cheating your brain,

83
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: like you know, and you gave this beautiful explanation, and

84
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: I was thinking, you always have these things that you

85
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: say that stick with me, and if anyone doesn't follow

86
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: doctor Dannie Lemon on Instagram, make sure you're go and

87
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: follow him because I love how you post the brain

88
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: scans of beforrees and afters of on a certain drug

89
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: and without a certain drug, on weed, without weed, Like

90
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: I just think that the way you communicate brain health

91
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: is fantastic and so great for my generation the generation

92
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: after me. I think we have so much to learn

93
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: from you. So thank you for what you're doing and

94
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: how you're doing it too, and always makes me happy

95
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: to see you and your wife as well. And this

96
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: has probably been the longest I haven't seen you since

97
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: you scan my brain. So that was so much fun.

98
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: That was so much fun. I was very relieved to

99
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: know that my brain was doing all right, so well.

100
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: And when you see it, you develop a relationship with

101
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: it and you want it to be better and it's

102
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: hard to hurt it once you see it. Yeah, that's

103
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: so true, and it's it's crazy to me that we

104
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: don't get exposed to our brains, like you don't ever

105
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: see your brain, which we use every day, that works

106
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: for us every day, and you have no access to

107
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: it apart from see your body, you see you know,

108
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: different organs maybe sometimes with the brain's not talked about

109
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: a lot. What is our brain? What does it do?

110
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: And how do we develop a relationship with it? Because

111
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: I feel that people are very confused with what is

112
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: the brain? What is the mind? You know, what does

113
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: it do? What does it not do? I think there's

114
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff out there. How would you describe it? Well,

115
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: it's very clear to me after all the scans I've

116
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: done that your brain, the physical functioning of your brain,

117
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 1: the moment by moment physical functioning of your brain, creates

118
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: your mind. And if your brain's not right, your mind's

119
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: not right. And there are a lot of spiritual teachers

120
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: that'll separate the mind from the brain, but you can't

121
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: because just think of Alzheimer's disease. You know, very damaged brains,

122
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: and they're very damaged minds that go I mean people

123
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,559
Speaker 1: that act in ways they never act if their brain

124
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: was healthy, that they don't remember people that they're deeply

125
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 1: in love with. And so if we want a healthy mind,

126
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: it actually starts with a healthy brain. And you know,

127
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: I've had the blessing or the curse to scan over

128
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: a thousand convicted felons and over one hundred murderers, and

129
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: their brains are very damaged. So if your behavior is

130
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: so bad you end up in a cage, and they're

131
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: not thinking, Oh, I have to understand, evaluate, rehabilitate that

132
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: person's brain, and then that better and that helps all

133
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 1: of us stuff. Staefsky once said, you can tell about

134
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: the soul of a society not by how it treats

135
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: its outstanding citizens, but by how it treats its criminals.

136
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: And it's you know, when I first started scanning people,

137
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: I didn't really have an opinion on the death penalty.

138
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: I just really hadn't thought about it. I thought of

139
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: free will as black or white, you have it or

140
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: you don't. And then as my work became known, defense

141
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: attorneys would send me people did really bad things and

142
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: their brains were so damaged. And when I would go

143
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: to court and a lot of people hated me for that.

144
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you have a bad brain, you did

145
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: something terrible, you don't get to go home. But should

146
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: you kill them? I mean, it's a really important question,

147
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, you know, it's not the sign

148
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: of an evolved society to kill sick people. I mean,

149
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: you have to protect society from them. But what I've

150
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: seen is if we rehabilitate their brain, they can have

151
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: a meaningful life. And people just aren't connecting. It's your brain.

152
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: It's easy to call people bad, it's harder to go

153
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: why and oh can I fix it? What are the

154
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: things that damage our brains? Because I think what we

155
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: find is we often think like, oh, that person was

156
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: totally normal and then one day they just changed, or

157
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: we say things like oh, yeah, if you just met them,

158
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: like they were just quiet and calm, like you would

159
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: never have noticed anything, and then they did this horrific thing.

160
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: Like what are those habits? What are those patterns that

161
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: start damaging our brain? Because I don't think we're aware,

162
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: As you said, we never see our brain, we don't

163
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: really talk about it, we don't really know much about it.

164
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: What are the things we do since birth that damage

165
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: our brains that could lead to something as extreme as that? Well,

166
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: even before birth, yes, So since marijuana has been legalized

167
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: in many states, babies born with marijuana in their bodies

168
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: has gone up seventeen hundred percent. I mean it's a

169
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: ridiculous amount. So even before you're born, what happens in

170
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: utero can damage the trajectory of your life. They have

171
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: more behavior problems, they have more attention problems, they have

172
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: less empathy for other people. And then you know, as

173
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: you go through life, the standard American diet is damaging brains.

174
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, you talked about how healthy your diet has been.

175
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: I follow this guy on TikTok. For some reason, my

176
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: TikTok's has gone crazy. And he looked at his blood

177
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: sugar before and after pop tarts, and pop tarts was

178
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: like the worst thing he looked at, almost worse than

179
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: Coca cola. But what are we feeding children? I mean,

180
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: in public school free lunches, pop tarts, which means we're

181
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: damaging their blood sugar levels, we're damaging their weight, and

182
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: we're damaging their brain. And I have a mnemonic called

183
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: bright Minds which helps me remember, you know, like B

184
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: is for blood flow. Low blood flow number one brain

185
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: imaging predictor of Alzheimer's disease. So Netflix right, not in

186
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: front of the TV too often, not exercising. That damage

187
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: is your brain. Probably the number one thing that causes

188
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: brain trouble. Your brain is soft. About the consistency of

189
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: soft butter, your skull is really hard and has sharp

190
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: bony ridges. Mild traumatic brain injuries ruined people's lives. If

191
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: you said, hey, Daniel, single most important thing from two

192
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: hundred and ten thousand scans, mild traumatic brain injuries. Don't

193
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: let your kids physical right from snowboarding, falling off a horse, football, soccer,

194
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: physical abuse will do it. Falls, car accidents, you know,

195
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: and people are texting and driving and texting and walking.

196
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: And there's three million new concussions every year in the

197
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: United States, which means over the last thirty years there

198
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: have been ninety million people that have had concussions. It's

199
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: very common and a common cause of depression, homelessness, addiction, suicide,

200
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: panic attacks ADHD. Wow. Yeah, I mean, when you spell

201
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: it out that clearly, I think what I love about

202
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: you is I think the two times I have done

203
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: an intervide and then when I was with you, I

204
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: just go away going, oh, I need to so I

205
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: need to do something for my brain. I need to

206
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: figure it out right, and it's it's a good thing.

207
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Like I enjoyed that healthy sense of an awakening and

208
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: a healthy sense of fear because I think we are

209
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: so scared of being scared in society today, like we

210
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: don't want to listen to the truth because it's scary,

211
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: it's inconvenient. It forces us to change something. If someone

212
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: could do something starting tomorrow, what is the thing that

213
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: someone could do waking up tomorrow that could be better

214
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: for their brain? What would you say that is? Well,

215
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: you know and you're happier. I talk a lot about

216
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: the tiny habits, the smallest things that will make the

217
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: biggest difference and brain and mental health. It's a daily practice,

218
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: just like physical health. Right, as I said, you look

219
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: really great. That's a daily practice. Right. You just don't

220
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: do that one day a week, you do it every day.

221
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: If you want a really great brain and a really

222
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: great mind, their habits every day. And some of my

223
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: favorite every day is as good for my brain or

224
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: bad for it? I just like when my daughter, she

225
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: turned nineteen yesterday, and when she was little, we played

226
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: Chloe's game, and Chloe's game was is this good for

227
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: your brain or bad for it? Frozen blueberries, Oh, two

228
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: thumbs up, God's candy or avocados, Oh, two thumbs up,

229
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: God's butter. Hitting your head with a soccer ball no,

230
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: very stupid, thumbs down. Right, And so just playing with

231
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: her with that question that takes three seconds, right, I mean,

232
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: it's doesn't take long, and people go what's good and

233
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: what's bad? Second graders know it. I went into our

234
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: second grade class, put twenty things on the board and

235
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: I went separate them for me, and they got nineteen

236
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: out of twenty right. So I got a ninety five percent.

237
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: And the only thing they got wrong was orange juice,

238
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: which they put in the good category, which is like

239
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: way too much. Sure, And so whenever you unwrap sugar

240
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: from its fiber source, right, turn fruit into juice, it

241
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: turns toxic in your body. So you have to be

242
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: really careful with that. So that's one. Two. Whenever you

243
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: wake up in the morning, today is going to be

244
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: a great day, you have to nudge your brain right.

245
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: We have a conscious mind, we have an unconscious mind.

246
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: We have a self image, and your subconscious is paying

247
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: attention to the words that the conscious mind is sane.

248
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: And so if you're like, oh, I don't want to

249
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: get out of bed, today is going to be a

250
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: bad day, You're gonna have a bad day because you

251
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: just programmed your subconscious mind to do that. Every day

252
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: when my feet hit the floor. Today is going to

253
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: be a great day. And then my favorite of all

254
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: of them is when you go to bed at night,

255
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: and bed is so important because if you want to

256
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: have a good day, it starts the night before. Is

257
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: what went well today? So when I go to bed,

258
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: I say a prayer and then I go what went well?

259
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: And I go on a treasure hunt because I'm purposefully

260
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: looking for what are the right things that happened? And

261
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: I look for the micro moments, you know, like what's

262
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: the smallest thing. And for me, where I live, I

263
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: see a lot of hummingbirds and butterflies and I just

264
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: focus on them. And I've been doing this for years

265
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: and it's so helpful. And about two and a half

266
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: years ago, my dad died and it was an awful,

267
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: awful day. And when I went to bed that night,

268
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: I said a prayer and they went what went well today?

269
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: And then the voice in my head, you know, started

270
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: criticizing me, like you're a bad kid and you don't

271
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: love your dad and whatever. But because it's my habit,

272
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: I went what went well today? And I saw this

273
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: interaction between my mother and the police officer, and it

274
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: was so funny and so beautiful that it just made

275
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: me smile. And then I thought of all the texts

276
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: I got from my friends who found out about my dad,

277
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: and that was peaceful. And then I just thought about

278
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: holding his hand before they took him away, and I

279
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: went to sleep because I'm mastering my mind and not

280
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: being a victim of the situation didn't mean I didn't grieve.

281
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: I still grieve, I still miss him, But it's these

282
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: habits like every day to direct my mind to help

283
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: me while taking care of my brain. Yeah, I love

284
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: those practical tools because in effect, what we're trying to

285
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: do is change our thought pattern. Right, we have a pattern,

286
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: as you said, to wake up and say I'm tired,

287
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: and we put it on snooze, and then we get

288
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: up and then we're having breakfast and we're like, I'm

289
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: still tired. And then we get to lunchtime and we're

290
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: like looking at the clock and we're like, I'm still tired.

291
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: And then by the end then I'm still tired. But

292
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: then we're up at midnight watching Netflix or whatever it

293
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: may be, saying I'm still tired, and then that becomes

294
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: our reality that we just continue to feed that fatigue

295
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: and we're just more and more and more tired. Whereas

296
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: when you nudge your brain in a different direction, as

297
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: you said, and you said today is going to be

298
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: a great day, you now start making great choices because

299
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: you want it to be a great day. But what

300
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: I love about what you've defined, and this is different

301
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: and I appreciate it, is that you don't talk about

302
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: positive thinking. You talk about accurate thinking as being a

303
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: healthier way to live. And I really like that clarification

304
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: because I think the positive thinking approach can also be

305
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: quite toxic. Like you just said about your father, it's

306
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: not that you didn't feel grief, it's not that you

307
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: don't miss him like of course, those are very real

308
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: human emotions, but you know how to direct them. Can

309
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: you clarify for our audience today, what is the difference

310
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: between accurate thinking and positive thinking? Well, positive thinking is

311
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: I can have this third beer and it won't negatively

312
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: impact me. Or I can drive in one hundred and

313
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: twenty five miles down the freeway and the rain and

314
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: it won't hurt me. Positive thinking is I can stay

315
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: up and be on my phone until two in the

316
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: morning and it won't have a negative impact. They do

317
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: this great study out of Stanford lewis Terman nineteen twenty

318
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: one evaluated fourteen hundred and fifty three ten year old

319
00:18:55,160 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: children and then they followed them for ninety years. Look

320
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: it what goes with success, health and longevity. And then

321
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: don't worry be happy people. Actually, in the beginning of

322
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: the book, I talk about the lies of happiness, and

323
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: this is one of the lies. Don't worry be happy.

324
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: They died the earliest from accidents and preventable illnesses. I

325
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: have an older brother, and I adore him, but he's

326
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: like a hundred and fifty pounds overweight. I always sort

327
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: of wanted to be like him because I'm intense and

328
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: I work hard and I've always got projects, and he's

329
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: like off at three o'clock playing golf, and you know,

330
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: he just seemed to not have a care in the world.

331
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: But my health is so much better than his because

332
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: I worry about it. And so you want to have

333
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: the right dose of anxiety. People with low levels of

334
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: anxiety go to jail because they don't like think, oh,

335
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: if I do this, bad thing could happen. But obviously

336
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: too much makes you suffer. And I love the verse

337
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: in the New Testament John A thirty two. Know the truth,

338
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: and the truth will set you free. And I want

339
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: to live my life in truth. So I want to

340
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: tell myself always, So what's the truth? So if I

341
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: think Tanna never listens to me, I'm like, well, is

342
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: that true? Right? It's another little habit right to always

343
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: carry around those three words. I don't have any tattoos,

344
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: but if I did, is it true would be one

345
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: of the tattoos. Because I don't want to believe everything

346
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: I think, and that's very important. Your mind creates trouble.

Speaker 1: wanted to do is closer than you think. Each class

Speaker 1: instructor's insights about their craft that can be translated across

361
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: many fields and disciplines. I've been really enjoying Ester Parol's

362
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: class on relational Intelligence with lessons on the power and

363
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: art of connecting to others. Esther was a past guest

364
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: on the podcast, and her class has been a great

365
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: way to learn specific techniques to deepening relationships. And I

366
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: love that all of the lessons are around fifteen minutes long,

367
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: and how their audio listening feature lets me listen on

368
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: the go like a podcast. I highly recommend you check

374
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: they come from all sorts of places. They come from

375
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: your ancestors. They're actually written into your genetic code. I

376
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: don't know if you ever read the book. It didn't

377
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: start with you, Yes, of course that's amazing. I love

378
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: that book. And trauma and successes actually get written in

379
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: our genetic code, and our thoughts come from the voices

380
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: of our moms, our dads, our siblings, our friends, foes,

381
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: the news you listen to, which, by the way, is

382
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: no longer the news anymore. Let's just be really clear.

383
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: They bastardize that industry, and it's about tribalism and money

384
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: and it's not about news. I start every day with

385
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: the Good News Network. It's just a cool app. I

386
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: have no financial interest in it. I just love it.

387
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: I'm always smiling, you know, sending articles to my kids.

388
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: And the music you listen to. I actually did his

389
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: study on rap, country, rock, and classical music and heavy metal.

390
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: We did a memory task with high school students, and

391
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: heavy metal was the worst, Classical was the best. The

392
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: second best was country, which shocked usted retted rat Foil

393
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: in their right behind heavy metal. Oh wow wow. Because

394
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: that's why one of the biggest forms of music today's rapping,

395
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: hip hop and music so influences how we feel, and

396
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: so you want to be careful with the inputs because

397
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: you might not think they matter, but your subconscious minds listening. Yeah. Absolutely,

398
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: Well that's why I want to ask you. This is

399
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: really interesting to me because so I've been listening to

400
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: jazz in the car. Now, jazz is my new. Jazz

401
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: is my new. I usually don't listen to anything. I

402
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: usually just talk to myself when I drive. That's been

403
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: like my habit for years. Is I see driving as

404
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,239
Speaker 1: a moment of spending more time with myself, So I

405
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: generally drive to nothing. But when me and my wife

406
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: are in the car together, we both like music, and

407
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: recently we've been listening to jazz music together. But what

408
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: I find really interesting about what you just said is

409
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: that there's a difference between what feels good and what

410
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: is good for you. So someone may say I feel

411
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: good when I eat junk food, when I listen to

412
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: music that isn't good for my brain, and when I drink,

413
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: but when I miss out on that meal, I don't

414
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: feel good. When I choose classical music, I don't feel good.

415
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: And when I choose to eat healthy and maybe don't

416
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: drink as much, I don't feel good. And so what

417
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by is our relationship with feeling a certain

418
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: way versus being a certain way. So when I started

419
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: to have to remove refine sugar from my diet, which

420
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: my wife encouraged me to do, I didn't feel good

421
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: about that, Like that was painful. I didn't enjoy that

422
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: feeling in my mind right. Or when I started to

423
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: go to the gym every day or hike where I

424
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: hike outside every day now and when I'm working out,

425
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't feel good about it, but it's good for me.

426
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: So I started to discover that the things that are

427
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: actually good for me don't always feel good. So how

428
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: do you approach the idea of feeling a certain way?

429
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: Because I feel like everything that I do that's good

430
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: for me, I didn't feel good about when I started

431
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: doing it. Now I choose it because now there's because

432
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: you're getting the benefit of correct the benefits. I'm also

433
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: feeling the pattern shift now if I eat so I

434
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 1: still get a craving for junk food. I still have

435
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: that craving sometimes and maybe once a month now I'll

436
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: be like, all right, I'm gonna have a burger, Like

437
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat, you know, like a burger and fries

438
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: and whatever, And now I don't like the taste of it.

439
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Like after I feel really regretful, and I'm like, I

440
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: didn't even like that. I need to remember that. Then

441
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: now I've changed my tastes, so now it's changed, So

442
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: tell it. Talk to me a bit about that, Like

443
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: why do we always want to feel happy and feel

444
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: good but we don't often make the right decisions. Secret

445
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: number four is love food that loves you back, and

446
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: you're in a relationship. I want you to love what

447
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: you eat, but I also want it to love you.

448
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: And so if you're in love with alcohol and alcohol

449
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: is clearly toxic to your brain for so many reasons,

450
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: brain and your body, then it's sort of like you're

451
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: in an abusive relationship. And you know, I just want

452
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: people to think about what do you really want? Do

453
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: you want that mountain of fries or that swimming pool

454
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: of alcohol? Or do you want energy? Do you want clarity?

455
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: Do you want memory? Do you want vitality? Do you

456
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: want creativity? And ultimately what I want is I want

457
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: to feel good and I want to be good and

458
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: I want to do good and that comes from a

459
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: brain and body that work, right, So I don't want

460
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: to feel good now but not later. Right, that's a

461
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: four year old's mindset. I want to feel good now

462
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: and later. So the things I do day in and

463
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: day I love now. It just it takes a while

464
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: sometimes to change your habits. The brain is lazy. It

465
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: just wants to do what you've allowed it to do.

466
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: So what you said is just so beautiful. It's like, well,

467
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: I still get the cravings and I'll give in and

468
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: then I'm like, oh, why did I do that? Yeah,

469
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: that's because then I just I just don't feel awesome.

470
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: So for that momentary pleasure, it's like, well, is it

471
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: worth it? Does it fit? So another tattoo I'm going

472
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: to get some day? Does it fit? So? I recommend

473
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: this is actually a part of Secret seven Live each

474
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: Day based on clearly defined values, purpose and goals and

475
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: quite frankly hedonism. It's not on my goal list. It's

476
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: it's not in my value list and hedonism. So giving

477
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: in to every craving I have is the enemy of

478
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: happiness because it ends up wearing out your dopamine or

479
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: pleasure centers in your brain. And I always talk about

480
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: you want to drip dopamine, don't dump it, because when

481
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: you dump it with the fries and the alcohol the porn,

482
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: you don't have much left, and so then you have

483
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: to go back and do it again, and all of

484
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: a sudden, chemicals are controlling you rather than you are

485
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: controlling you. The dopamine gets so addictive, and as you said,

486
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: with the pleasure centers, now we're having to the same

487
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: amount of what we had doesn't even fulfilled the amount

488
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: of pleasures that we have to have more to hit

489
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: the same amount of pleasure. As far as I understand,

490
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: is that correct? Like, it's absolutely true, and fame wears

491
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: out the pleasure enters in your brain. And I've been blessed.

492
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm friends with you, justin Miley, and and

493
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about this over and over again,

494
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: how fame is just such a trap because you know once,

495
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, like I had a video go viral and

496
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: it's like forty million views, and I'm like so exciting,

497
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: and so when the next one gets eight million views,

498
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: you're like, well that sucked, and you realize just you know,

499
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: how stupid that is. You have to be very careful

500
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: and you want to drip dopamine. How do you drip dopamine?

501
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: How does someone do that? Let's say someone who's not

502
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: getting forty million views, eight million views, but they're posting

503
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: on social media, they're eating a burger, they're having that

504
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: glass of you know, alcohol every night. Whatever it may be, like,

505
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: how does someone learn to I love that idea. I'm thinking,

506
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: how does someone practically drip dopamine? Because that's really it's

507
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: the micro moments of how so for me, I mean,

508
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: it's like holding Tana's hand and then but noticing and

509
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: feeling her skin and feeling the warmth, the softness its

510
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: It's like being present, being connected, or seeing the humming bird,

511
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: watching the sunrise or the sunset, depending on where you live.

512
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: It's being present, noticing what you like way more than

513
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: what you don't like. Plus sunlight, drips dopamine, pumpkin seeds

514
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: drip dopamine, Omega three fatty acids. I just gave you

515
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: a present of our vegan Omega three as I know

516
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 1: you're vegan and people have been wanting it for so long.

517
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: But all the vegan Omega three's they don't have EPA

518
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: in them. So Omega three's there's EPA and dha. They're

519
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: almost all dha. But EPA is critical for mood, for focus,

520
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: for circulation, and it's the first product on the market

521
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: that I know of that is just loaded with the

522
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: right balance of omega Three's what is the difference between

523
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: ep and DJA. They work on different systems in the body.

524
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: Both of them are absolutely essential, and they're essential, which

525
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: means you got to get them from an outside source.

526
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: Your body doesn't make them, and people who are vegan,

527
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: it's really hard to get healthy EPA and DHA levels

528
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: from flax seeds and avocados, for example. No, I can't

529
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: wait to start taking them. I'm really excited. What am

530
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: I gonna notice? What's going to be? Like your skin's

531
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: already good, But your skin, your hair, your nails, that's

532
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: the things people notice. But their mood is better. Brand

533
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: new study out just today Omega three fatty acids helped

534
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: decrease the incidence of depression. Also helps with focus and

535
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: helps with memory. It's just critical because they make up

536
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: the fats in twenty five percent of nerve cell membranes

537
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: in your brain. I mean, that's hugely important. The reason

538
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: why I find is so fascinating that I think so

539
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: many of us are trying to solve a mental challenge

540
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: when actually it's a physical, brain tangible challenge. Right, Like

541
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,719
Speaker 1: I'll meet a lot of people who are saying, genn't

542
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: feel focused, I feel cloudy, I feel no energy, I

543
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 1: feel lethargic. What do I do to get motivated? And

544
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: it's like, well, no, no, no, the motivation is not

545
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: the issue. It's like you're dealing with a lot of

546
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: other stuff physically tangibly that could be solved, and then

547
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: with good values, good purpose, good goals, you can actually

548
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: go in the right direction. But just having a good

549
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: set of goals and targets and values is not going

550
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: to solve the fact that your body is crying out

551
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: for attention. And I think I was definitely in that

552
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: space for a long time in my life. I like

553
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: had such a strong mind that I didn't realize how

554
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: much I was weakening my brain, and that actually, if

555
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: I strengthened my brain, my mind was even stronger, my

556
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: body was even better, and you know, it was all interconnected.

557
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: And so for anyone who's who's listening to this, I

558
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: want you to remember that if you've got an energy issue,

559
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: a fatigue issue, a focus issue, like this is the

560
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: podcast for you, Like, this is what I want you

561
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 1: to listen to, because chances are it's because you're missing

562
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: out on some of this stuff, like there's there's a

563
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: part of your diet or something that's not going into

564
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: your body. Well, and if you think of it like

565
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: hardware and software, yes, the setting goals which is so important,

566
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: and not believing every stupid thing you think, which we'll

567
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: talk about, is so important. But those are software programs

568
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: and you've got to have the hardware that will run it.

569
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: Plus I hate the termamental illness, you know, and I've

570
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 1: talked about that before. It's it's not men till its brain.

571
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: And when you call someone mental, you shame them. When

572
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: you call them a brain, you elevate them. So we

573
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: need to change the discussion. And mental illness is in right,

574
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about their mental illness, but it's the wrong discussion.

575
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: The discussion is about brain hell, and yes, you have

576
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: to program it. But what's happening in our society now.

577
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons I wrote the book We're

578
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: the unhappiest we've been since the Great Depression. That depression

579
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: tripled from February of twenty twenty to August of twenty twenty, unbelievable,

580
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: never seen anything like that, and children suicide skyrocketed depression, anxiety,

581
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: rug abuse skyrocketed and children, and it's like the pharmaceutical

582
00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: industry is winning that the incidents of anti depressants, anti

583
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: anxiety medications like xanax when of twenty percent and teenagers.

584
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: That is a nightmare because it's the wrong solution. And

585
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to medicines. This never the first thing

586
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: I think about. It's like, let's get your brain and

587
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: your habits right and then we'll see what you need.

588
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: And more than half the people taking medicine really don't

589
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: need it. Last year, three hundred and thirty seven million

590
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: prescriptions for antidepressants in the United States. That's insane. I mean, yeah,

591
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: it's alarming. I think we've all experienced it in little

592
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: microdoses of our family, our friends, the news, But then

593
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: when you hear it as a collective, it's super painful.

594
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: I mean, how does a society that's going through so

595
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: much pain, how do we collectively heal? Because that's like

596
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: that we're further behind because of the pandemic. It's like

597
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: it was already tough. Now we're really dealing with it.

598
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: Someone's dealing with a friend or family member or someone

599
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: in their life who's going through that it can feel

600
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: overwhelming for anyone like not everyone's a trained psychiatrist. No,

601
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: everyone's trained as a therapist to be able to support

602
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: that kind of individual. Where would you suggest someone starts

603
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: if someone in their life is really spiraling or struggling, Well,

604
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: I would start by following me on TikTok or Instagram

605
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: or you Happier or the end of mental illness there is.

606
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: This is a completely new way to think. And I

607
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: dedicated my book The End of Mental Illness to my

608
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: nieces and right at the beginning of the pandemic. We

609
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: adopted them because their mom and dad couldn't stop using drugs.

610
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: And I am so proud of them because of how

611
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: well they're doing by just getting the right supervision, the

612
00:37:55,280 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: right love, the right food, and the right habits. Now

613
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: they grew up in trauma. Do you know that ACE

614
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: test Adverse Childhood Experience? We should talk about it. It's

615
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: a test and originally done by the CDC and Kaiser,

616
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: and it's ten questions on did you experience early childhood trauma?

617
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: So things like physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, parents

618
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: who divorced, parents who were addicted, incarcerated. You watched one

619
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: of your parents being beaten in domestic violence. Okay, so

620
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: ten of these questions. So how do you score? Do

621
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: you score zero, like you had no trauma? I score one.

622
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: My wife is an eight because she grew up in

623
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: trauma and she wrote about it in her book, The

624
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: Relentless Courage of a Scared Child The nieces we adopted.

625
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: It's a nine. If you score four or more, you

626
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: have an increased risk of seven of the top ten

627
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: leading causes of death. If you score six or more,

628
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: you have a twelve hundred percent increased risk of killing yourself.

629
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: You have a higher risk of depression, addiction, virtually every

630
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: bad health thing. And our daughter is one. So eight

631
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: to one that's the goal, right, How do you take

632
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: your trauma? Heal it and not give it to the

633
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 1: next generation. And when I met Tanna, I just dearly

634
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: loved her. I mean, she's beautiful, she's smart, she's awesome.

635
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: But when I learned about the trauma, I gave her

636
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: ten sessions of EMDR. It's a specific psychological treatment for

637
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: trauma and stands for eye movement, desensitization and reprocessing. She

638
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: ended up going for a year because there are a

639
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: lot of stuff to work out, but change the trajectory

640
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: of her life. She's like my best friend. We like

641
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: never fight, we get along. We have the same goals.

642
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: We don't live out of the past. We live out

643
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: of the present and what we want for the future.

644
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: And so many people live with trauma and they're living

645
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: being controlled by the traumatized eight year old in their

646
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: lives when they don't have to be, and so part

647
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: of being happy is dissipating the traumas from the past.

648
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: Why can people do that test? That sounds fascinating the way,

649
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 1: so they can go online and just search for adverse

650
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: childhood experiences. NPR has a free version of it online

651
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: and you pretty much know once you take it. How

652
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: long does it take to do? Just like three minutes.

653
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 1: Super it's just ten questions and it's basically yes or no.

654
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: But you know, if you're four or more getting help

655
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: and EMDR is so cool. I want to hear more

656
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: about it. I'm so glad you raised it because I

657
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: was like, I've I've had a few clients i'm coaching

658
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: right now and they've been working with someone else in

659
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: the MDR space. Obviously that's not my expertise, but yeah,

660
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your thoughts on it, Like explain

661
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: if anyone who doesn't know what is the EMDR not

662
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: the name, but like what is it as a practice?

663
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: So what you do, it's it's actually an eight step

664
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: practice as you take a good history and you're looking for,

665
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: like what are the top ten traumas you've had in

666
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: your life? And you do this with a you do

667
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: it with a therapist, with somebody who's trained and certified

668
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: in it. Then you begin to target, so what's the

669
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: worst one, and what's the negative belief with that, and

670
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: what's the positive belief that you would rather believe, and

671
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: where do you feel it in your body? And so

672
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: you hold that image and then imagine just being on

673
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: a train, and we get your eyes to go back

674
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: and forth, or sometimes they'll do alternate tapping on your knees,

675
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: or there's a thing called the butterfly hug to do alternately.

676
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 1: While you bring that up and while you're on the train,

677
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: you just sort of see where it goes, and it'll

678
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: often go to the early traumas, heighten them. But then

679
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: with the eye movements, it helps the brain integrate it

680
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: from an adult perspective rather than living as a four

681
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: year old's perspective, and it takes the distress from like

682
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: an eight or nine out of ten to zero. And

683
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: it's so cool, and it's one of the fastest therapies

684
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: because a lot of times people go to a therapist

685
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: and they'll talk about the trauma and they just feel

686
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: worse because what they've done is they've brought it up.

687
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 1: They'd like say, subconscious, let's pay attention to these awful

688
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: things you've been trying to forget. But it's the integration.

689
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: And I did a study that we published in the

690
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: Journal of Neurse Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, a great journal

691
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: on eight police officers who were involved in shootings and

692
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: they couldn't go back to work because they were traumatized.

693
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: Because you know, whatever you think about the police, I

694
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: work with a lot of police officers. Most of them

695
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 1: are just kind carrying, service oriented people and they don't

696
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: want to hurt anybody, and so they were devastated couldn't

697
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: go back to work. I scanned them and in their

698
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: brain there's a pattern for trauma where their emotional brain

699
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: was working too hard, and after an average of eight sessions,

700
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: their brain had calmed down and they all went back

701
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: to work with the MDR. Wow and so. And with

702
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: the MDR, there's no you're not under anything, there's no substance.

703
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 1: It's just now. And in fact, I'm just sitting down

704
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: talking to you. I began. I made this connection because

705
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: what psychedelics do, and people asking me about that all

706
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: the time. Now I'm not a fan of it um

707
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: because I think it's risky and I get to see

708
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: the fallout of people doing it, they have bad trips.

709
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: What psychedelics do is they begin to fill in some

710
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: of the holes in the ruts in your brain. Like

711
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, if you've been traumatized and imbad ombad ombad

712
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: or it's my fault, it's my fault, my fault. It

713
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: can help dissipate that for some people, but they're side effects.

714
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:47,479
Speaker 1: With the MDR, there's no side effects and you come

715
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: out of it freer. So my first experience with EMDR.

716
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: So what I do in my profession is, you know,

717
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: I've often said I've been bleeding on the cutting edge

718
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 1: because psychiatrist don't look at the brain, which is completely insane.

719
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: But when I started doing that thirty years ago, my

720
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: colleagues hated me. It's like, no you shouldn't do that.

721
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: That's not what we do. We make diagnoses based on

722
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: symptom clusters. We don't need to know about the brain,

723
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: which you people are insane. But I got investigated by

724
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: the medical board in California for like a year. It

725
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: was the worst year of my life. And I an

726
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: mdr therapist working for me in my office, and one

727
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: day I went into doctor Lendall and I'm like, I

728
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: am not okay, You're gonna do this thing on me.

729
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: And after an hour I left her office and I

730
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: didn't care. I'm like, it'll whatever will happen, will happen,

731
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: you know. I love to say. My friend Byron Katie

732
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: says argue with reality, welcome to Hell. And my anxiety

733
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: just went away. And ultimately they dismissed any complaint against me.

734
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: And I obviously been doing this a long time, but

735
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: I just saw how powerful it was. I didn't have

736
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: to stay attached to the pain. I mean, I'm fascinated

737
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: to try it myself now, and like, I think that's

738
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 1: the only way to know. And but it's great to

739
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: hear that again. I just to clarify, I think what

740
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: you're saying is that this is a great practice. It

741
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: helps you move along and then only habits still have

742
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: to be in place, because do you feel like people

743
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: doing it? Yeah right, it's like others you can just

744
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: go back and like, like dancing is a great brain exercise,

745
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: but if you drink while you dance, you're completely messing

746
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: up the benefit. Yeah, that's great. Pink table Tennis brand

747
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,720
Speaker 1: new study out today. I was so excited that racket

748
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: sports people who play racquet sports live longer than everybody else,

749
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: sixteen percent longer, longer than runners, longer than anybody else.

750
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: I love that because I play pink punk tennis and pickleballs.

751
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: But like beer pond is not going down, you know,

752
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: I don't know, but no, I literally play. I play

753
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: all three of those. I'm getting a pink bunk table.

754
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 1: I play tennis, and I started playing pickleball, and it's

755
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: like it's so much fun. It's easy, you only need

756
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: one other person, easy to do, and they're not good

757
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: for you, and it's fun and you and it loves

758
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: you back. Yeah, you just have to find what are

759
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: those habits? What are those activities I love that loved

760
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: me back. Yeah, that's fantastic. I want to let everyone

761
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: know if you don't have you happier already, which is

762
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: the book that we're talking from, makes you grab a

763
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: copy because we're you know, literally touching the surface. But

764
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: the lies of happiness are fantastic. There are eleven lies

765
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: in here that we're told. We've talked about a lot

766
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: of them today, having more and having more of something

767
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: like love, sex, fame, drugs, don't worry, be happy. We

768
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: talked about that positivity mindset. We talked about advertisers and

769
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: fast food. We talked about needing you know, technology, we

770
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: talked about and we'll talk a bit more about that too.

771
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: We talked about constantly being in the news, constantly being

772
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: aware of the news. We talked about alcohol, marijuana. We've

773
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: touched on a lot of those lies, but I really

774
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: want you to dive into it because I think those

775
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: lies are what's governing our pursuits. But focus on the

776
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: seven Secrets of happiness to talk about that no one

777
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 1: else is talking about. You said the brain needs targeted

778
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: nutrients every day to boost happiness. What are some of

779
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: those targeted nutrients? Because you also gave me along with

780
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 1: the vegan omegas, you also gave meaning, could you tell

781
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: us a bit about why that's so awesome for calm, clarity,

782
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: and focus, well, especially if you tend to be anxious.

783
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: Thanning from green tea helps you focus and calm you

784
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: at the same time. And yes, green tea does have

785
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of caffeine, But why green tea is

786
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: better than coffee is the thanning helps calm down the

787
00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: effects of the caffeine. And but thanning by its self

788
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: is just magical for so many of my patients and

789
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: those gummies they taste great and they have no sugar,

790
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: right because sugar for me, it would be a brand violation,

791
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: and we don't do brand violations. Where from what is

792
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: it from green tea? Okay, that's where it comes from, right,

793
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: it's not. Yeah, it's one of the active ingredients in

794
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: green tea Green tea. Catechians are another great substance for

795
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 1: your brain. My favorite of all of them. We talked

796
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 1: about omega threes, but my favorite is saffron. And I've

797
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,959
Speaker 1: been following the science of saffron for over twenty years

798
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: because over twenty years ago a study came out showing

799
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: it was equally effective to prozac, and I'm like, whoa um.

800
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: And there's folklore in India, India. Yeah, my mom is

801
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:58,479
Speaker 1: gonna love this moment in this podcast. Then if you're

802
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: too happy, you must have had saffron. So now there

803
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: are twenty four randomized controlled trials head to head against antidepressants,

804
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: showing that it's equally effective to boost your mood. But

805
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: as opposed to antidepressants, which can decrease sexual function, saffron

806
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: increases sexual function, increases pleasure, increases responsiveness, even in some

807
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: studies sperm motility. Saffron has been shown to enhance memory

808
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: and unlike memory, mood and sex. And at the beginning

809
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, right where my dad was sick, I'm like,

810
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: I make something called happy saffron with saffron zinc and

811
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: kirk humans. I have taken it every day since, and

812
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: I just think it's just a nice thing to help

813
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: keep people balance. But then the supplements in large part

814
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: depend on your brain type. That's secret Number two is

815
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: what makes some people happy makes other people miserable. And

816
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: a one size fits all with happiness, it's just not reality.

817
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: Some people need novelty and they love surprises. Where it's

818
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: type two. There's five primary types. That's our spontaneous type.

819
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: But type three the persistent type. They hate surprises and

820
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: love routine. And so know your type and the type

821
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: of your spouse and children, and then ask yourself, every day,

822
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: I do something that makes me uniquely happy. And this

823
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: book's going to help people figure out that type. You

824
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 1: have the types in the book, so we have the

825
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 1: balanced brain type, the spontaneous brain type, the persistent brain type,

826
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: sensitive brain type, and the quotious brain type. And the

827
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: book helps you diagnose and figure out which brain type

828
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:00,760
Speaker 1: you have. So you can do this with your friends,

829
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: your family, your partner, your kids, and that's going to

830
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: help you understand what they need more of or what

831
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: they miss effect. My nieces they had friends over and

832
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: they were in the spot home and they were taking

833
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 1: the ACE quizzes with their friends and knowing each other's

834
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: brain type. It was such a great discussion. Yeah, I

835
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: love that. How do people, as in walk us through

836
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: some of the process you created to help people figure

837
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: out their brain type? Well, you know, based on my

838
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 1: imaging work, I like, I was looking initially for the

839
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: one type of you know, where's depression in the brain,

840
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: And then I realized, oh, there's not one type of depression.

841
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: There's seven where's add in the brain. There's not one

842
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: type of add there's seven. That's why Ridland's controversial. For

843
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: some people, it's a miracle. For other people, it's a nightmare.

844
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: And it depends on how your brain works. And then

845
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: I realized I was seeing patterns of personality, like if

846
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: your frontal lobes worked too hard, you tend to be

847
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,919
Speaker 1: worried and rigid, and if things don't go your way,

848
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: you're upset. And I have of my five girls, two

849
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,439
Speaker 1: of them have this pattern, and I know no matter

850
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 1: what I say to them, they're going to dismiss it.

851
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: It's going to bounce off. It's like they wear teflon.

852
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: And so if I were like shopping I love shopping

853
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: with my girls, and I go, oh, do you like this,

854
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: the answer will be immediately no. So for them, I

855
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: know their type and I wait for them to show

856
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: me stuff, and if I want them to do something,

857
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: I'll actually ask them the opposite of what I want

858
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: them to do, because they're just you know, these people,

859
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: they're just sort of naturally oppositional. And if I want

860
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: them to go to the store with me, I'm going

861
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: to go I'm gonna go to the store you probably

862
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: don't want to go with me. It's like, what do

863
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: you mean, I don't want to go with you. We

864
00:53:55,120 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: don't spend any time together. That approach of personalization and

865
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: an individualization is just so needed, especially in healthcare, because

866
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: like you're saying, you can, and that's what me and

867
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 1: my wife see that in us, Like our diets are

868
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: completely different for us to be an optimal level, and

869
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: our workouts are completely different. Like my wife is a

870
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: high intensity workout person. I'm a low intensity workout person.

871
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: I just don't enjoy high intensity. It doesn't work for me.

872
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: I feel more inflamed, I feel you know, more heated

873
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: in my body. I don't need that. I'm pretty you

874
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: know active heat as it is. And then my wife

875
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: really enjoys it. It's really great for her body. She

876
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: feels great for men. So I just think it's so

877
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: fascinating that we keep trying to take like whatever works

878
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: for everyone must work for me, and we get this

879
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: trend or this fad, and I think this diagnosis of

880
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: your brain type that I think this is the best

881
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: thing that you possibly could have done for us. The

882
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: persistent people, they need carbs if you put them on

883
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: a chetogetic diet, they get depressed and they get angry.

884
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: I was on Rachel Ray's show and she was the

885
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: persist brain type and a national TV we're talking about this,

886
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: and she said, I went on a low carb diet

887
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: and I was so mean. I wondered why my husband

888
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 1: didn't leave me. Because the persistent brain type needs serotonin.

889
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 1: And if you think about a higher protein, lower simple

890
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: carbohydrate diet, it's a dopamine diet. It helps you focus.

891
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: But if you give it to the persistent type, they

892
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: focus more on the things that make them unhappy and

893
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: make other people unhappy. So the wrong diet can cause divorce,

894
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 1: and so you have to like target it to the person.

895
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: But it's also why people get addicted to sugar, because

896
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: sugar is a simple carbohydrate, and sugar raises serotonin and

897
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: it makes you happy. Have you ever wondered when you

898
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: go to a restaurant why they immediately give you bread

899
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: and alcohol because both of them drop your frontlope. So

900
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: the bread some carbohydrate raises your blood sugar and your

901
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: pancreases it and produces insulin. Insulin drives tripped to fan

902
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: into your brain. Trip to fan makes serotonin and you

903
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 1: feel pretty happy, which is why people get addicted to

904
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: pastries and bread and pizza and donuts. And then they

905
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: give you alcohol because it drops your front elopes. So

906
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: if they give you free bread and offer you alcohol,

907
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna make more money because you're gonna order things

908
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: you said before you walked into the restaurant you weren't

909
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: going to order, including dessert. That is so true. And

910
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: I love it when they give me bread. It's like

911
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: my favorite. It is not anymore, but that's like my

912
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: favorite thing that I love it when I walk into

913
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: the restaurant, like do you have a bread basket? Like

914
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's such a habit, right, It's

915
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: it's all habits. Would I find that happiness is such

916
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: an interesting goal, That's what I meant. But we want

917
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: to feel happy, but the things that you have to

918
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: do to feel happy are not necessarily the things you

919
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: want to do. If something initially initially that's what I'm

920
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:09,439
Speaker 1: until it switches, until it switches and oh, by the way,

921
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 1: and I start the book with this, happiness is a

922
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: moral obligation because you know, people are like, oh, you're

923
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: writing a book on happiness. That's fluff. Can't you do

924
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: something more serious? And I'm like, but it's a moral obligation.

925
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: Why because of how you affect other people. I guarantee

926
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: you if you ask someone who is raised by an

927
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: unhappy parent, or married to an unhappy spouse, or raising

928
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: an unhappy child, whether or not happiness is an ethical issue.

929
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: So this is important for us to seek happiness in

930
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: the context of health. I believe everyone that is doctor

931
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: Daniel Aman speaking about you happy. It is the book.

932
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: I genuinely, genuinely recommend this book. I think you know

933
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: there's some books that will just transform how you think

934
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: about your brain. I know that working with doctor Daniel

935
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: Aleman has been really powerful for my brain. So many

936
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: of the habits have developed consciously or subconsciously have happened

937
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: through our conversations. I mean, when you told me about

938
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: racket sports, that's what led me to start playing tennis,

939
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: and then I started playing pickleball, and then I picked

940
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm getting a ping pong table, and it was just

941
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: there were these really tiny things that we've exchanged in

942
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: our conversations that have made huge differences in my life.

943
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: And so today when you told me I look great,

944
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, thanks, to you, doctor, this is

945
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: because of you, but I want you to go and

946
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: grab this book, The Seven Neuroscience Secrets of Feeling Good

947
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: based on your brain type. The book's called You Happier,

948
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: Doctor Danna Leman. You'll know this will be no surprise

949
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: to you. We end every interview with a fast five,

950
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: which is our final five every time that we do this,

951
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: so you have to figure out new answers every time

952
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: you come on. But these are your fast five. So

953
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: the first question is what is the best brain advice

954
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: you've ever heard, receive, or given? Every day? Ask yourself

955
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 1: this question is as good for my brain or bad

956
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: for it. It's so simple. It's the mother tiny habit

957
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: to have a great brain for the rest of your life. Okay,

958
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: second question, what is the worst brain habit advice you've

959
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: ever received? So, what is the worst brain advice or

960
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: you've ever received? Everything in moderation, which is the gateway

961
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: thought to hell. It's the gateway thought to cheating. As

962
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: soon as you hear someone say everything in moderation, they're

963
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: going to do something bad for their brain. Wow. Explain.

964
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: Let's let's dive into that a little bit, because I

965
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: feel like that's such a common misconception that people have,

966
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: Oh I need to have a balanced life in a

967
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 1: balanced diet, right, So yeah, but balance for them when

968
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: they're saying moderation means sugar, or it means alcohol, or

969
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: it means marijuana or thing that doesn't well, it means comfort,

970
00:59:55,240 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: it's their excuse. It's it's one of the little lies

971
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: people tell themselves that keep them fat, depressed, and feeble minded. Yeah,

972
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: let's let's do I actually want to take a little segue.

973
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk a bit about marijuana, because I think that

974
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: that's become so popular. I did it a bit as

975
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 1: a kid. I messed around within my teens and never

976
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: really got into it. You did my brain scan, there's no,

977
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: there's no signs of it because I was never too

978
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: deep into it. And obviously since I lived as a monk,

979
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't mess around with anything, so I

980
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: haven't you know, I haven't drank alcohol for sixteen years

981
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: or something like that, and like no marijuana for sixteen years.

982
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: But what is marijuana doing? Because I feel like so

983
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: many people do feel like they need it or like

984
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: it's benefiting their life where it's become so normal though, Like,

985
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: are the what are the issues. Well, they need it

986
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: because it changes their brain to need it in order

987
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: to feel normal. What is he doing in a way

988
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: to make people feel like it's helpful? What calming things

989
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: down right in the brain. So I published a study

990
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: on a thousand marijuana users. Every area of their brain

991
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: is lower in activity. And then I published the world's

992
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: largest imaging study on sixty two four hundred and fifty

993
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: four scans looking at how the brain ages. And I

994
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: looked at well, what accelerated aging, and marijuana was the

995
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: second worst thing to accelerate aging. The worst thing was

996
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: having schizophrenia, but the second worst thing it surprised me

997
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: quite frankly. It was worse than alcohol, worse than marijuana.

998
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: It dulls slows down nerve cell firing. So if you

999
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: have a busy brain in your anxious you feel like

1000
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: it's helpful. But it's also been shown to damage some

1001
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 1: of the structure of neurons, and kids who smoke or

1002
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: use have an increased incidence of anxiety, depression, and suicide

1003
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: in their twenties. Kids who use have a four hundred

1004
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: and fifty percent increased risk of developing psychosis, and people

1005
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: have been I've been a psychiatrist forty years. We've all

1006
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 1: seen cases like that. Their cases now because marijuana is

1007
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: so much more potent than it was when I was

1008
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: growing up. That there's a word called scrommating, which is

1009
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: screaming and vomiting at the same time that if you're

1010
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: in an emergency room, people are like, oh, oh, this

1011
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 1: person's poisoned with marijuana. Not to mention the seventeen hundred

1012
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: percent increase in babies being born with marijuana and the

1013
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: trouble that that causes. It's like people go to that

1014
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: before they learn diaformatic breathing, before they learn meditation, before

1015
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: they learn self hypnosis, before they go for EMDR to

1016
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: deal with their traumas, and that's just not right, Like,

1017
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: let's do the non toxic things first rather than you know,

1018
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: And that's my problem with psychedelics. It's like, you know,

1019
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 1: maybe at some point if you have severe PTSC that's

1020
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: not responding to anything that could be helpful, But have

1021
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: you done the basics first? Yeah, And the challenge I

1022
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 1: find that most people say is that non toxic things

1023
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: are slow. You have to learn something right, it's not

1024
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: immediate like meditation, for example, as you know, meditation. Let's

1025
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 1: take a what was the first thing you said. You said,

1026
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: diafromatic breathing. Dim. I can get you to break a

1027
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: panic attack in two minutes. Yea. If I just get

1028
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: you to breathe four seconds in, hold it for a second,

1029
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: eight seconds out, hold it for a second. Do that

1030
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: for three minutes, you're gonna feel so much better, so

1031
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: much calmer. This isn't hard, but it's not taught, and

1032
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: so people don't know, and then they're like, so, where's

1033
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: my dealer. That's the hard part. That's the hard part.

1034
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: We're not taught, and then we go for the quick fix,

1035
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: and then we get addicted to the quick fix because

1036
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: it's a quick fix, and then that becomes our reality.

1037
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: And that's right. But there are other quick fixes that

1038
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 1: are quick. Yeah, if we just are taught. Um, Like

1039
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 1: you know, one of my favorite things is killing the ants,

1040
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 1: the automatic negative thoughts. Whenever you feel sad, mad, nervous,

1041
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: or radicate, write down what you think. Write it down

1042
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: and then go is it true? And then write the

1043
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: opposite Tanna never listens to me, Tanna does listen to me,

1044
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: And then go is that true? And you'll often find

1045
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 1: the opposite of the thought that's torturing you. It's true

1046
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:47,919
Speaker 1: when I do that all the time with my wife,

1047
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: I feel the same way doing with your spouse is

1048
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: very helpful. But I'm like, all, Riley doesn't care about me?

1049
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: And then yeah, asking myself, Rody does care. Oh, I

1050
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: can find lots of reasons. Yeah, it's it's beautiful. And

1051
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: then you don't have to believe the negativity because where

1052
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: you luck determines how you feel. If you find the negative,

1053
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: you're going to feel negative, and if you find the beautiful,

1054
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna feel beautiful. Absolutely all right. Question number three,

1055
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: this that was a great tangent. I'm glad we did that.

1056
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: Question number three, what is your current purpose? How do

1057
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: you define it? My current purpose is to change how

1058
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: psychiatric medicine is practice, to take it out of the

1059
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: dark ages, to end the whole concept of mental illness

1060
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 1: and create a revolution in brain health. I love that.

1061
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: What a great purpose we here to support. We have

1062
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 1: a big gale. I'm so excited about seventh at the

1063
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:52,760

Speaker 1: details in the notes as well as everyone has them.

1085
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: Question on before, what's something you wish you knew about

1086
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: the brain earlier? In your own life. So nineteen ninety one,

1087
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm thirty seven, and I'm a double board certified psychiatrist.

1088
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: I was the top neuroscience student in medical school, and

1089
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: I don't care about my brain at all life. And

1090
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 1: I was overweight, and I was only sleeping four hours

1091
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: a night. I was chronically stressed. And I scanned my

1092
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: brain because I just started scanned, so I scanned everybody

1093
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: I knew. I scanned my sixty year old mother. She

1094
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: had a gorgeous brain. And when I scanned myself, it

1095
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: wasn't healthy. And I was horrified. And I come from

1096
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 1: a very competitive family, and I just really unhappy that

1097
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: my sixty year old mother had a better looking brain

1098
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 1: than I did. So I developed a concept called brain envy.

1099
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: I always say Freud was wrong. Penis Envy's not the

1100
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: cause of anybody's problem. I wanted a better brain, and

1101
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: I think I've spent the last thirty one years just

1102
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:12,439
Speaker 1: trying to get a better brain. Well, ses just wish

1103
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: you knew about that. I wish I knew about that earlier.

1104
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have played football, and I wouldn't have drank

1105
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: diet soda like it was my best friend. Do you

1106
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:26,680
Speaker 1: want to tell us a bit about that, because I

1107
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: feel like soda people have agreed it's bad without diet

1108
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 1: soda has become I used to think diet soda was free, right,

1109
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like no galleries. But the aspartame and

1110
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 1: what we know now was sucralos is really bad. So

1111
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 1: there's a brand new study out looking at sugar, sucralose

1112
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 1: or splenda and stevia, and they did brain scans and

1113
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 1: cognitive testing and stevia nothing happened before or after. It's

1114
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: actually pretty safe. Sugar. New learning dropped, Splendor was the worst.

1115
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 1: New learning dropped, long term memory dropped, and you've got

1116
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: a surge of slow frontal lobe activity, which means it

1117
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,640
Speaker 1: deactivated your frontal lobes. And I'm like, and you know,

1118
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:22,679
Speaker 1: the yellow packets are everywhere so where. It's so scary.

1119
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:24,640
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know how the I don't know

1120
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: how they haven't figured out way to just improve the

1121
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: food about as a whole through all these standards, Like

1122
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: with all these studies coming out, how most of these

1123
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: foods has not been bad because of the agricultural londy

1124
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: that you know. I mean, just we talked about pop

1125
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,680
Speaker 1: tarts and how bad they are. But they're you know,

1126
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:47,879
Speaker 1: we're spending government money to give them to poor children,

1127
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 1: which will keep them poor. Yeah, it's so sad. I

1128
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: find that's the hardest part for me, where I'm like,

1129
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 1: but we can change it. Yeah, well, I know we can.

1130
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:03,759
Speaker 1: That smart people can figure out solutions to aramatically shift

1131
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: the population. I don't know if we ever talked about

1132
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 1: the Daniel Plan, the big project I did Saddleback Church,

1133
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 1: where you know, thousands of churches have done the health

1134
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 1: program that I created with Pastor Rick Warren. So you

1135
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 1: just have to have intention. Yeah. Purpose, that's part of

1136
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: the revolution in brain health. Yeah. Fifth and final question,

1137
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 1: what makes you happier? Being here makes me happier? Seeing

1138
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 1: you being with people I love makes me happier. It

1139
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 1: was at the Beverly Hilton Hotel today getting ready for

1140
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 1: our event, and they cooked a lot of Tanna's recipes

1141
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 1: from her cookbook The Brain Warriors Way, and they did

1142
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 1: such an amazing job that made me happy. And I'm

1143
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,040

1144
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 1: love your TikTok evall thing. So making a difference makes

1145
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:01,880

1146
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: the middle, so I was completely irrelevant, and so not

1147
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: being irrelevant sort of helps make me happy. I love that,
