Can you believe this? It 62 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: was very hard. 63 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: I mean, no, you can believe it, doctor Emmon. But 64 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: I mean people listening, can you believe it? Because it's 65 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: so crazy. You wouldn't think. But they're these little things. 66 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: They don't look that scary, but they're scared. 67 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 6: But I was taking more and more of them. I 68 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 6: was getting anxiety. It was I mean, it was it 69 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 6: was just feeding the beast. You know, it was really something. 70 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: You learned on Instagram basics. 71 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 6: Instagram perpetuated it. Yeah, because it's so incredible. 72 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 5: Glad you said that, because people think things are innocuous 73 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 5: when they're not. And I'm working on a national Brain 74 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 5: Health Revolution campaign. Actually with ajhs and the White House, 75 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 5: and it's all based around this one question. So if 76 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 5: you asked me what's the number one thing I can 77 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 5: do for my brain, it's this question. Is what I'm 78 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 5: doing now good for my brain or bad for it? 79 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 5: And does it make the world better? And if you 80 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 5: can answer that with information and love, you get to 81 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 5: keep a healthy brain or you get to create a 82 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 5: healthy brain. And quite frankly, most seven year olds know 83 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 5: the answer to the question. They'll get a ninety percent 84 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 5: if you put one hundred things down and go good 85 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 5: for your brain or bad for it, and doesn't make 86 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 5: the world better. And it comes from a game I 87 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 5: played with my daughter, who's when she was two. We 88 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 5: called it Chloe's Game, and I'd go good for your 89 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 5: brain or bad for it? And I'm like avocados, She'd 90 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 5: go two thumbs up, God's butter, like blueberries. She put 91 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 5: a little fists on her hips and go are they organic? 92 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 5: Because non organic berries hold more pesticides than almost any fruit. 93 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 5: Like hitting a soccer ball with your head. Oh, very bad, 94 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 5: talking back to your redheaded mother cone too much stress, 95 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 5: But really that's the question. And alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, not 96 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 5: sleeping scrolling too much, and ultimately I did an event 97 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 5: Saturday with Jenny Garth. I love her so much. She's 98 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 5: my first scan my brain. She's the first person I 99 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 5: did my podcast with. And she has a new book 100 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 5: out called I Choose Me and ultimately doing the right thing. 101 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 5: Because a lot of people go, oh, that means I 102 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 5: can't have this, I can't have that. It's about deprivation, 103 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 5: that mindset you never get well when you realize that 104 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 5: prevents you from getting what you really want energy, memory, 105 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 5: passion for is it's like, oh, no, I don't really 106 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 5: want those things. I only love food or drink or 107 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 5: activities that love me back that. Ultimately, you're in this 108 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 5: relationship with your habits. 109 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 3: Mm So even a glass of wine a. 110 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: Week, No, doctor, you have way more than one a week. 111 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 2: Three three glasses and be honest with me, do I 112 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: need to stop that? Be honest with you because you 113 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: know we have been trained I think to go like, oh, 114 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: I earn this glass of wine at the end of 115 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: the day, custom day or yes, red wine is different 116 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: than all the other one. Red wine is quote unquote 117 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 2: better for me than everything else. 118 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 3: Is that just bs? 119 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,119 Speaker 5: It's bs? Yeah, American cancer society came out against any 120 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 5: alcohol because any alcohols associated with an increased risk of 121 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 5: eight different cancer. And then it's like, so it's the 122 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 5: extra calories, it's the dropping your frontal lobes, which then 123 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 5: can lead to consequences with decision making. Yeah, I'm just 124 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 5: not a fan. 125 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: Okay, not a fan. 126 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 5: Drew Carey, the comedian, he lost a ton of weight 127 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 5: and kept it off because he had this mindset eating 128 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 5: crappy food isn't a reward, it's a punishment. Yeah, And 129 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 5: when you think of it that way, you have this 130 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 5: beautiful brain, and well, don't you want to keep it 131 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 5: that way? 132 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 3: Yeah?

Wow, So real quick? What milk 185 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 4: do you use? Like when you said you made your wife? 186 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 4: Is it just all mean?

Because I got off of oat milk 189 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 3: for sure. 190 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 5: I had to get off that so many calories set oil. 191 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 5: Oat is bad for blood sugar, all right. I mean 192 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 5: we were sold another lie that oatmeal is good for 193 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 5: you and oatmeal is great for pigs that they're trying 194 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 5: to fatten. I was at Mount Vernon, George Washington's plantation, 195 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 5: and there was actually a sign about during one of 196 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 5: the seasons, they gave the pigs corn, wheat and oats 197 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 5: basically to fatten them up. And I'm like, oh, that's 198 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 5: why we're overweight as a society. And I published three 199 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 5: studies on thirty three thousand people. So does your weight 200 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 5: went up the size and function of your brain went down? 201 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 5: We should scare the fat of anyone. So I'm not 202 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 5: a fan of oat milk. I like almond milk, but 203 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 5: I like unsweetened almond milk. You don't want to get 204 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 5: it poured with sugar. And the closer to not having 205 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 5: a lot, the fewer the ingredients, the better. 206 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: How are we on like two percent like cow's milk 207 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 2: or whole milk? 208 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 5: So I'm not a huge fan of milk just because 209 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 5: most of the antibiotics in this country are given to 210 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 5: cows and you end up eating whatever the cow ate 211 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 5: and okay, suffering with almonds. 212 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, we're on almond all right. 213 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 6: I have two Instagram myths that I want to do. 214 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 6: Buck one because I'm recently taking a statin and all 215 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 6: these guys are now on the Internet saying statins are 216 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 6: going to give you Alzheimer's and they're going to give 217 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 6: you dementia, right, and the second one And a lot 218 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 6: of our listeners are participating in our GLP ones and 219 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 6: there's a lot of myths about GLP ones being bad 220 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 6: for your brain and things like that. And a buddy 221 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 6: of mine just started on that and I was concerned 222 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 6: for him, so specific specifically statins and then GLP. 223 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: One about brain, right is going to is it going 224 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: to give satins? 225 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 5: There's a there's a really good book I like called 226 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 5: the Great Cholesterol Myth. People at two twenty five have 227 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 5: the best cognitive function as they age. And most cardiologists 228 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 5: are putting you on a statin just with that one number, 229 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 5: and I'm like, no, it's more complicated than that. Yes, 230 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 5: get your cholesterol checked. If you can't get it right 231 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 5: with diet. My mind always is first, not drugs. What 232 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 5: can I do naturally? So get rid of sugar and 233 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 5: foods that turn to sugar. If you can't get it 234 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 5: right naturally, then a statin might be helpful for you. 235 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 5: But let's not demonize them, but also let's not give 236 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 5: them to everyone. GLP one drugs are really interesting, and 237 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 5: there's no evidence that they give you Alzheimer's disease. In fact, 238 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 5: there's evidence that they help you prevent it. In that obesity, 239 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 5: if you're overweight or you have high blood sugar, of 240 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 5: the eleven major risk factors that steal your mind, you 241 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 5: have all eleven of them. So you don't want to 242 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 5: be overweight, you don't want to have a high blood sugar. 243 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 5: And yes, of course do it with your habit. But 244 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 5: if you can't, then a golp one drug can be helpful. 245 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 5: And now if there's some new research they help with addiction, 246 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 5: they can. One of my patients who had terrible migraines 247 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 5: did much better on a golp one. So I think 248 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 5: they're very interesting. We should pay attention. If you do 249 00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 5: it without changing your habits, probably a waste of money. Ultimately, 250 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 5: you want to change your habits and only love food 251 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 5: that loves you back. 252 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: That's gonna start living by that model. 253 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say that's a good way to 254 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 2: look at it when you talked about it, because I 255 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: know a lot of women are listening when you talk. 256 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: When you talked about earlier diet, coke and soda. So 257 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: doctor Aman, I quit soda twenty years ago. Okay, I 258 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: haven't had a soda, a sip of a soda in 259 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: twenty years. I just people don't know this, and bills 260 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 2: just started. 261 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 6: I've never had soda my whole life, and I just 262 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 6: started drinking doctor Pepper. 263 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: And I have to tell you something though, real quick, 264 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 2: esppertain no, but aspartame is so bad? 265 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 3: Can I tell you? 266 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: So? 267 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 2: I was drinking so much soda when I started at 268 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 2: E and I just become the anchor of the news, 269 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: and I was drinking so much diet coke, okay, And 270 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: then I moved on to Red Bull.

So let's just 326 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 5: start with. 327 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: That, correct. 328 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 6: No, No, but you're not a fan of it helping 329 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 6: relax your brain, and you. 330 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 5: Know it's not innocuous, it's just it's the lie that 331 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 5: we have been sold and a lot of people ask 332 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 5: me about the executive order that was signed recently about psilocybin, 333 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 5: and I'm like, I've seen this party before. When I 334 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 5: was a resident, Xanax came onto the market and Benzo's 335 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 5: were Mommy's little helper, and that just turned out to 336 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 5: be a disaster. Benzo's, like xanax outa van klonipen vallium, 337 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 5: are addictive and they increase the risk of dementia. And 338 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 5: then in the early nineties, my first clinic was outside 339 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 5: the Napa Valley and alcohol was a health food. You know, 340 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 5: you really should have two glasses of red wine a day. 341 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 5: And now we know alcohol's associated with eight different cancers. 342 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 5: And both of you have been on television and it's like, 343 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 5: why when I watch TV people are drinking non stop. 344 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 5: It's alcohol's scourge on our society. And then pain is 345 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 5: the fifth vital sign. It's like, if your doctor's not 346 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 5: giving you an opiate, he's a bad doctor. I went 347 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 5: through that period where people would criticize me and I'm like, 348 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,959 Speaker 5: look at their brain. And then it was Marijuana's innocuous, 349 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 5: Marijuana's good medicine. And I published a study on a 350 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 5: thousand marijuana users, Every area of their brain was lower 351 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 5: in blood flow than our healthy group, and that was 352 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 5: just replicated by a group completely separate from me. They 353 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 5: looked at a thousand young marijuana users and the areas 354 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 5: especially involved in learning and memory were impaired. And now 355 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 5: from the White House, well, psilocybin, we should study it, 356 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 5: and we should. But the problem is now they're having 357 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 5: mushroom parties on college campuses and the incidence of psilocybin 358 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 5: psychosis has gone up dramatically. I'm like, you know, if 359 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 5: you're anxious, let me teach you diaphormatic breathing. Let me 360 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 5: teach you to get rid of the aspartame in diet coke? 361 00:20:52,400 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 5: Did you know aspartame can actually cause generational anxiety? Really interesting? 362 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 5: Kill the diet soday this interesting study on mice where 363 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 5: they gave him ass pertain in normal doses, so not 364 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 5: like five hundred times what a mouse should have, not 365 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 5: that I should have them. It made them really anxious. 366 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 5: But what they then found was their babies were anxious 367 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 5: and their grand babies were anxious even though they never 368 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 5: had as pertain. Wow, isn't that interesting? And so anyway, 369 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 5: so the whole marijuana thing I am not a fan. 370 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 5: It increased the risk of psychosis. Once you start, some 371 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 5: people don't stop. It decreases motivation. So I have this 372 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 5: very fun story. One of my patients, Public Knowledge. He 373 00:21:53,320 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 5: did my podcast, Julius Randall. He's three times NBA All Star, 374 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 5: All NBA Team twice. I mean, he's just a wonderful superstar. 375 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 5: And when I met him two years ago, he was 376 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 5: smoking pot. You can smoke pot in the NBA, which 377 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 5: I think is insane. He was smoking pot. He was depressed. 378 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 5: He was in New York and the media were terrible 379 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 5: to him, and he's about to get divorced. And I'm like, Julius, 380 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 5: I'm going to be your best investment. Immediately stop smoking pot. 381 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 5: Because he could see the damage in his brain. Yeah, 382 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 5: and I'm like, you are playing at a very high level. 383 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 5: You need your Sarahbellum back bottom part of the brain 384 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 5: to work right. Taught him how to not believe every 385 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 5: stupid thing he thinks. We did a treatment called e MDR, 386 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 5: which I'm a huge fan of, helps with past trauma. 387 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 5: He grew up with some trauma and he was known 388 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 5: for falling apart in the playoffs, and last year he 389 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 5: had the best playoffs of his career and he's planned 390 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 5: great right now. Wow, And it's just they all believe 391 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 5: the lie. Yes, that marijuana's innocuous, and it's not that 392 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 5: is worse than alcohol. They're both bad. 393 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 6: We loved having you on. We love you. We think 394 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 6: you are just a jewel. We follow you, we love all. 395 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: The advice you give. So thank you so much, We 396 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: so appreciate you. 397 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you so much.
