With a little work, we know you can make it better and we have the story to prove it. This is the story of how my passion for brain health made me the warrior I am today, while helping thousands in the process. It all began with a simple idea: How do you know unless you look? Have you ever wondered what compelled me to become a clinical neuroscientist, double board certified psychiatrist, brain imaging expert, multiple New York Times bestselling author and founder of the Amen Clinics? In this video, Tana Amen and I share my personal journey. You’ll learn about brain SPECT imaging, the revolutionary diagnostic tool my colleagues at the Amen Clinics and myself have used to amass the largest brain scan database in the world with nearly 100,000 scans from patients from 111 countries! You’ll also understand how the ability to see the brain’s physiology helped me help my patients to better health and healing. Most importantly, you’ll find hope. My story will show you that you can change your brain and you can change your life. Early Days I grew up with six siblings – an older brother and sister, and four younger sisters. My father called me a “maverick,” which, was not intended to be a compliment! While in the military, I became an x-ray technician where my love of imaging and photography began. I recall my professors repeatedly stressing one important idea: How do you know unless you look?
