Dr. Daniel Amen reveals that most chronic pain isn't just in your back, knee, or neck - it's in your brain. He explains the doom loop, a vicious cycle where pain triggers suffering, which activates automatic negative thoughts, creating physical tension that leads to harmful coping habits and more pain. Through scanning over 300,000 brains from 155 countries, he's proven that healing your brain can eliminate pain that's haunted you for years, even when MRIs show structural damage. You'll learn why believing every negative thought is literally damaging your body, and discover how practices like gratitude, managing your mind, and connecting to faith can set you free. This episode gives you the complete roadmap to heal both your brain and your body by understanding they've always been connected.Dr. Amen’s books:Change Your Brain Every DayConquer Your Negative Thoughts30% Happier in 30 DaysRaising Mentally Strong KidsAmen clinicsIn this episode you will:Discover why 70% of chronic pain is linked to brain health rather than physical injury aloneBreak free from the doom loop that cycles between pain, suffering, negative thoughts, and harmful habitsLearn to stop believing automatic negative thoughts that damage both your mind and bodyUnderstand how faith and belief in God can triple your protection against depressionUncover the hidden brain damage caused by alcohol, marijuana, and artificial sweeteners like aspartameFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1860For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Gabor Maté – greatness.lnk.to/1849SCDr. Andrew Huberman – greatness.lnk.to/1830SCDr. Joe Dispenza – greatness.lnk.to/1857SC Get more from Lewis!
