Some time ago I appeared on MSNBC’s nationally televised forum About Our Children. The show’s host Bill Cosby asked me a very intriguing question. We were talking about how important good nutrition is for optimal brain performance and physical health when Mr. Cosby asked me, “How do we teach poor people to eat right when bad food is so cheap?”
What a great question! You can see my answer to this question in a new blog I posted on the Huffington Post. Here is the link to the article:

In my new book Change Your Brain, Change Your Body I write about how your brain affects your weight. When I asked you to send me your questions about the brain and weight loss so I could answer them in a video post, you sent me more than 500 questions. I have decided to do a whole series of videos to answer as many of them as I can.
I have spent a lot of time going through your questions and found that many of them deal with food cravings, sugar cravings, salt cravings and how to control them. Because you asked so many questions about cravings, I decided to give you two videos with my answers. Here is Video #1. Be sure to check back next week when I will be showing you Video #2.
UPDATE: Part 2 of Controlling Your Food Cravings is now available
If you are having trouble seeing the video, please watch 6 Tips to Control Your Food Cravings directly on YouTube.

Set your DVR! My brain imaging work will be featured on two TV shows this week. Here’s the scoop.
The Rachael Ray Show—Wednesday, January 20
(Check your local listings for airtimes.)
If you are dealing with PMS, you won’t want to miss this episode, which features Amen Clinics brain scans of women with PMS.
Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew—Thursday, January 21, 10 p.m. ET/PT on VH1
Dr. Drew asked me to scan the brains of some of the celebrity patients at his treatment center for the current season of his hit television show. You’ll have to tune in to see which celebs I scanned and what their brains looked like. I’ll give you hint—they didn’t look very healthy. The brains of addicts rarely do.
I hope you enjoy the shows. Tell your friends and family to tune in, too.
It sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but researchers are actually creating incredible devices that can be controlled by the brain.
A recent article on CNN detailed a host of therapeutic devices designed to assist the disabled, reduce depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, and even treat Alzheimer’s disease. Other futuristic inventions aim to allow us to communicate telepathically.
Our brains are far more powerful than we even realize, and it is very exciting to witness the new ways we are learning to harness that power. I am sure that many of these and other brain-controlled inventions will surface in the future.
If you would like to read more about these new inventions, see the CNN article here:
