In this week's mini-episode, Dr. Amen & Tana discuss their top ways to stay energized. Feeling mentally drained, foggy, or unfocused? In this episode, we explore what it truly means to stay energized by supporting your brain health from the inside out. Your brain controls everything—from focus and memory to mood and motivation—so keeping it healthy is the key to sustained energy throughout your day. We break down the science behind mental fatigue and share practical, research-backed strategies to boost cognitive performance naturally. You'll learn how sleep quality, nutrition, movement, stress management, and daily habits directly impact brain function and long-term vitality. Tune in to discover how small daily choices can lead to clearer thinking, better focus, improved mood—and lasting energy.

Can anxiety really be dialed down in minutes? In this eye-opening conversation, we sit down with Dr. David Spiegel, Stanford psychiatrist and one of the world's leading experts on clinical hypnosis, to uncover how hypnosis is being used to rapidly reduce anxiety, reframe fear, and retrain the brain. Dr. Spiegel breaks down the neuroscience behind hypnosis—what it is, what it isn't, and why it works. You'll learn how focused attention can quiet the brain's stress circuits, how hypnotic techniques differ from meditation, and why anxiety may be more flexible than you think.

2. How anxiety patterns get wired into the brain
