How do Amen Clinics and Amen University treat the brain for mental and physical health? Dr. Daniel Amen developed the SPECT Imaging system to more accurately diagnose and treat brain-related issues. But Amen doesn’t stop there.  They assess and address biological, psychological, social and spiritual factors holistically. Cindy Santa Ana is the Integrative Nutritionist for Amen Clinics, and works with patients to craft their diets and eating patterns to support their brain health.  Amen also seeks impacts beyond patients.  Amen University is an online resource for patients’ family members and the general public to learn about brain health.  Yuri Huntington is the Faith Ambassador for Amen University, and is leading the new Amen Whole-4 pilot program for faith community members to learn about holistic health together in group settings.  Ramsey spoke with Cindy and Yuri about Amen Clinics, Amen University, Whole-4, and the many practical ways that everyone can support their own brains and holistic health.  Learn more at amenclinics.com and amenuniversity.com.
