As a psychiatrist with over 40 years of experience, one of my favorite exercises I teach patients the One Page Miracle to help clear mental clutter, improve focus, and create more clarity in daily life.

The One Page Miracle is a simple mental clarity practice that involves writing down everything on your mind on a single page, including thoughts, tasks, and worries, to help reduce mental overload.

By externalizing mental clutter, you create space for improved focus, emotional regulation, and clearer thinking.

Comment MIRACLE and we’ll send you the full guide.

Remembering the brave men and women that gave their life for our country this #MemorialDay. Home of the free because of the brave. If you are new on my channel you might not know that in 1972, I joined the US Army and was trained as an infantry medic where my love of medicine was born. After about 18 months, I was retrained as an X-ray technician and developed a passion for medical imaging. As our professors used to say, “How do you know unless you look?”

I did my residency at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and I have loved being a psychiatrist every day for the past 40 years. Some of the therapies we still use today at Amen Clinics are ones I first used at Walter Reed and at Fort Irwin in the Mojave Desert. Being able to help veterans heal from traumatic brain injuries, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other conditions has been some of my most rewarding work. I firmly believe our military and veterans deserve the best mental healthcare, and brain SPECT imaging helps you get a more accurate diagnosis and more effective treatment. When you look, you realize that you can change your brain and change your life for the better.

Thank you to all the brave men and women in our country who have served for our freedom - we never forget and spend every day honoring you.

Has this happened to you?

If you feel like sugar has a chokehold on you… watch this.

After looking at 300,000+ brain scans, Dr. Amen’s work reveals that cravings aren’t just about willpower, they’re deeply connected to brain function, stress levels, and sleep quality.

Research shows stress and sleep deprivation can increase cravings for high-sugar, high-calorie foods. Which explains why cravings hit hardest at night or after overwhelming days.

That’s why we created targeted support for patients struggling with emotional eating and constant cravings.

If cravings are controlling your day, comment “CRAVINGS” and we’ll send you more info.

NATURAL SOLUTIONS FOR DEPRESSION
Here are 9 common things I do for patients before prescribing antidepressant medication.
Check for and (if necessary) correct thyroid hormone abnormalities.
Work with a nutritionally informed physician to optimize your folate, vitamin B12, Vitamin D, homocysteine, ssion and omega-3 fatty acids. I’m convinced) that without doing these nutritional fixes, patients are less likely to respond to the medications.
Try an elimination diet for three weeks.
Add colortul fruits and vegetables to your diet.
Eliminate the ANTs (automatic negative thoughts).
Exercise—walk like you are late for 45 minutes four times a week. This has been found to be as effective as
antidepressant medication.

Add one of the following supplements to your daily routine: Saffron 30 mg/daycurcumin, not as turmeric root but as Longvida, which is much more efficiently absorbed; zinc as citrate or glycinate 30 mg (tolerable upper level is 40 mg/day for adults, 34 mg/day for adolescents, less for younger kids); or magnesium glycinate, citrate, or malate, 100-500 mg with 30 mg of vitamin B6. Consume probiotics daily.
Try morning bright light therapy with a therapeutic therapy lamp of 10,000 lux for 20-30 minutes.

TRY THESE DEPRESSION SOLUTIONS
BEFORE MEDICATION

If someone comes to me witr
depression, l order screening labs, teach them not to believe every negative thought they have, give them basic supplements (saffron, zinc, curcumins, and omega-3s), and encourage them to exercise. Many people never need medication if they follow through with the program.
