About this episode

Rich Wilkerson Jr. discusses brain health and its connection to mental health with Dr. Amen.

Maturity is learning how to steward your mind, your body, your habits and your soul. On this episode of Mature Me, I sit down with Dr. Amen, a leading voice in brain health who has spent his life helping people understand the connection between the brain, the mind, the body, and the spirit. We talk about why mental health is not just a mental issue, but a brain health issue. Dr. Amen breaks down why getting your brain healthy helps your mind follow, and how so many of the struggles we label in society may be connected to something deeper happening in the brain. We also talk about faith and science, therapy culture, trauma, sleep, food, and why brain health matters for the abundant life Jesus came to give us. Tune into the premiere tonight at 7:30PM on the Rich Wilkerson Jr. YouTube Channel 🔗
