This is Why You’re Not Healing
Living with physical and emotional pain can be a burden. Even when we take significant measures to calm the pain, all too often we find ourselves drifting in a cycle of frustration as the gains are too few and the setbacks too often. So what’s the deal? How do we push through the roadblocks preventing healing and make real progress? The answer lies in an obvious yet commonly overlooked place – the brain. In this episode, the Amens discuss how to address the root causes of pain and find real relief and significant change.

Quieting the Suffering Pathways in Your Brain & Impact of Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Scores
Freeing yourself from chronic pain can be a frustrating, demoralizing experience. So often we tackle the symptoms of pain, while their root causes remain a mystery. In this episode, the Amens discuss the role that trauma plays in creating pain in both the brain and the body, as well as interventions that address the root cause of the trauma. You will learn about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) scores, and what these numbers may tell you about yourself. You will also learn about why EMDR has been so successful in reducing the lingering effects of emotional trauma, and thus eliminating emotion and physical pain.

ADHD & The Female Brain (The Answers!)
In this week’s short video, Dr. Daniel Amen and his wife Tana Amen talk about ADHD and how it differs in males and females. They’ll also share practical tips that you can implement in your life right now. ADHD is commonly thought of as a disorder of hyperactive, behaviorally troubled boys. Yet, it afflicts many girls who are often overlooked because they tend not to be as hyperactive and have fewer behavior problems.
In fact, although females have ADHD in high numbers, males are diagnosed three to four times more than females. Missing ADHD in females can have devastating lifelong effects on their health, mood, relationships, career, and finances. Females with ADHD suffer more than 7 times the risk for both antisocial and mood disorders, three times the risk for addictive disorders, and twice the risk for anxiety disorders than those who do not have ADHD. Additionally, they have a higher risk for eating disorders, such as bulimia and obesity. But there’s good news—you are NOT stuck with the brain you have!

Breaking Through Emotional & Physical Pain & EMDR Therapy
Pain, whether physical or emotional, is a part of life. As humans we are wired to act quickly on these warning signals to get out of pain as quickly as possible. However, some of the actions we take to reduce or eliminate pain in the short term can actually make the pain worse in the long term. In this episode, Daniel and Tana discuss how some quick fixes, such as certain painkillers, act on the brain and body, and how other interventions, such as EMDR therapy, address the root cause to keep pain away for good.

How the Real “Jerry Maguire” Hit Rock Bottom, Rebuilt His Life, and Stood Up to the NFL
Sports super-agent Leigh Steinberg—the real-life inspiration for Jerry Maguire—joins Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about the hidden brain costs of America’s favorite game and how he rebuilt his life from the inside out. From representing half the starting quarterbacks in the NFL to hosting the first-ever Concussion Brain Health Summit in 1994, Leigh has spent decades sounding the alarm about traumatic brain injury in sports—and fighting for real change.
He also opens up about his own battle with addiction, the moment he hit rock bottom, and the brain imaging and recovery tools that helped him find his purpose again. His story is a raw and inspiring reminder that even the most successful people can lose their way—and that with the right help, you can come back stronger than ever.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
· The shocking truth about what the NFL knew—and denied—about concussions
· Why athletes (and their families) often ignore symptoms of brain injury
· How Leigh hit rock bottom with alcoholism and turned his life around
· The science-backed tools (including brain imaging, HBOT, and stem cells) that helped him heal
· Why protecting young athletes’ brains could change the future of sports
· How “The Comeback” isn’t just his new book—it’s a roadmap for resilience

This is How You Know Have Inflammation

Born Into a Cult: The Unbelievable True Story of One Man’s Escape from Scientology
Abandoned at birth and handed over to Scientology’s paramilitary wing, Jamie Mustard spent his first years in a slum-like “orphanage” where babies were stacked in bunks, starved of human touch, and bathed only once a week in filthy water. Decades later, he’s a celebrated author, artist, and survivor. And now, he’s exposing the global network of abuse that destroyed thousands of children’s lives.
In this jaw-dropping conversation with Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen, Jamie reveals how he escaped a billion-year contract, overcame illiteracy and shame, and discovered the neuroscience of healing trauma through brain health. This is one of the most harrowing—and hopeful—survivor stories ever told on the podcast.
You’ll learn:
• What really happened to children inside Scientology’s secret compounds
• Why he called himself “Child X”
• How he survived a pressure-cooker environment “kind of like Lord of the Flies”
• How medical neglect nearly cost him his hearing… and his life
• How a celebrated author could grow up feeling “stupid”
• Why shame kept him silent for decades
• How trauma rewires the nervous system… and how to reset it
• The radical treatment that erased decades of his anxiety in 20 minutes
• Why so many of the kids he grew up with were lost to addiction and suicide
