He has partnered with Sounds True to release several audio courses including Relaxation, Focus, and Memory Training and Unchain Your Brain: An Audio Program for Breaking the Addictions that Steal Your Life. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon engages Dr. Amen in a conversation about his pioneering brain imaging techniques and the vast implications these methods could have on psychotherapy\u2014as well as society in general. They talk about cultivating better brain health and the effects even minor brain injuries\u2014such as those suffered regularly in contact sports\u2014can have on everyday quality of life. Finally, Dr. Amen and Tami speak on the intersection of neurology and spirituality, and how we can all help our brains age gracefully by making more considerate personal choices.<br \/>\n(62 minutes)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5485,"template":"","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[]},"categories":[385,386],"tags":[170],"contributor":[770],"class_list":["post-5099","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-psychology","category-spirituality","tag-insights-at-the-edge","contributor-dr-daniel-amen"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Choice To Have A Healthy Brain | Insights at the Edge<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Listen to this Insights at the Edge podcast exploring the choice to have a healthy brain.
