Default Dr. Daniel Amen-- a brain doctors advice on food as medicine 💊

https://youtu.be/DZZcfld1-dQ


Many are not aware of Dr Amen. He is a down to earth doctor that bucks the system. Wrote a book called Healing ADD that put a clinical how-to in the layman's hands because diagnosis AND treatment has been historically abysmal.

Dr Amen has been my go-to for brain health for my ADD child. He was 100% spot on with OTC options and diagnosis. His book at about $20 is well worth every penny.

He has become more focused on food and diet as a base for improving brain function.

Yes, he is my hero.

( Recently encountered from another source that low Vitamin D3 during pregnancy is a cause of ADD and autism.)

When I took the online test, it was spot on.

I actually took that test AFTER reading the book. They matched results.

The book is far more detailed. Many chapters devoted to getting the right diagnosis, then treatment options cover ing meds, OTC and other specialized treatments.

The key is to explore options until you find your own personal best. BUT follow his advice because the brain can be hurt if wrong treatment is chosen.

Fortunately I watched my son closely and treated the low seratonin then the low dopamine. It's a balancing act. Seratonin can be boosted by a number of options, we chose a pill.

The kids that flip out on Ritalin.....remember that scare?....is because the low seratonin level was ignored.

To this day I watch for low seratonin behavior as my son doesn't take those pills to boost seratonin. He uses other options to make himself happy like playing online games with 5-6 buddies and now with the Covid restrictions lifted, they meet in person for a few hours, ya late hours , 8-11 pm.

Food is key..... My son general eats a pile of beef and veggies, and when potatoes are dug, a pile of mashed potatoes. He is one to naturally fast as when he is busy, food is last in line. 😆

Another caution with prescription ADD meds is that it can affect sleep..... Getting to sleep. It's all a balancing act with brain hormones.
