In my new book Change Your Brain, Change Your Body, I write about how taking care of your brain can give you a better body and help you lose weight. At the Amen Clinics we treat a lot of patients who have weight issues in addition to other mental health problems. I often notice that when I help these patients improve their brain function, they lose weight as an added benefit.
Now, we have gone a step further and have developed a 10-week weight loss program that draws on the tips and strategies in the book. We recently completed our first weight-loss group, and it was a big success!
One man lost 39 pounds by the end of the program! Another lost 35. Among regular attendees, the average weight loss was 9.9 pounds. Oh, and did I mention that we did this study group over the holidays when most people tend to gain weight? Our group actually lost weight during the week of Christmas!
During the 10-week program, we covered how to eat right for your brain and body, getting control of cravings, exercise tips, stress management strategies, getting rid of the ANTs (automatic negative thoughts), and more.
Group members also took the Change Your Brain, Change Your Body Questionnaire to determine their brain type. This proved to be extremely valuable for the participants, one of whom said, “Understanding the problem is the biggest step to solving it. The program provides real tools to understand and combat the compulsion, anxiety, and mood swings that have caused my overeating.”
Later this month, you will be able to take this same FREE test online on our website. Keep checking the blog to find out when it is available.
Based on their responses to the questionnaire, they were given individualized plans that included taking natural supplements targeted for their type. “Dr. Amen’s supplements ‘take the edge off’ dieting,” commented one participant.
We also tested their important health numbers and were shocked to discover that every single one of them had low levels of vitamin D — and this group was in our Southern California clinic! Having low levels of vitamin D is associated with obesity and depression.
We also supplied the group with brain healthy recipes from the new Change Your Brain, Change Your Body Cookbook along with handy grocery shopping lists. A key part of the program was using the Change Your Brain, Change Your Body Daily Journal where they were able to keep track of their daily calories and brain healthy habits.
Based on the success of this group, we are expanding the weight-loss program to all of our clinics. If you have been struggling to lose weight, now is your chance to get a personalized Change Your Brain, Change Your Body program that teaches you how to get and keep the body you have always wanted.

From April 09: One of the starting quarterbacks in Sunday’s game, Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger, suffered a concussion in the final regular-season game. There was some concern he might not be able to play two weeks later in the Steelers’ first playoff game, but he started and showed no visible effects from the injury.(from your site, April 2009)
