At Amen Clinics, our Peak Brain Performance Program is designed to help individuals who want to sharpen their mental edge, boost energy, enhance emotional resilience, and achieve clearer focus—so you can unlock your highest potential and live life at your best.
From Brain Scans To
Breakthrough
Are you feeling stuck in your career, relationships, or personal pursuits? Perhaps you’re doing “OK” in these areas, but for someone with big aspirations like you, that’s not enough. To go from “good” to “great,” you need more than just traditional coaching or productivity hacks.
You need a better brain. Your success is directly tied to your brain health—determining how you think, how you feel, and how you handle life’s many challenges.
That’s where Amen Clinics comes in. Through advanced brain imaging technology, we identify hidden brain patterns that may be holding you back. Without looking at your brain, you’re left guessing at what might help you get “unstuck” and reach your peak.
Who has time for a lot of trial and error when it comes to your life? Seeing your brain is the missing key to unlocking personalized strategies for optimizing your mental performance.

What Is Brain Optimization and Peak Performance?
Achieving peak brain performance means unlocking your brain’s full potential by identifying and addressing areas that need improvement. The valuable insights you gain about your brain’s health will empower you to overcome obstacles and maximize performance —no matter your age or career stage.
Multiple factors influence your brain’s performance , including physical health, lifestyle habits, and thinking patterns. The experts at Amen Clinics help you identify key areas that may be hindering your cognitive function, such as:
- Hidden Head Injuries: Fueling impulsivity and sapping motivation
- Low Blood Flow: Draining mental clarity and focus
- Neurotransmitter Imbalances: Impacting motivation, mood, and learning
- Nutrient Deficiencies: Affecting memory and brainpower
- Excessive Stress: Leading to cortisol spikes that impair decision-making
- Inflammation & Toxins: Clouding thinking and depleting mental energy
With our Peak Brain Performance Program, you’ll experience sharper focus, greater creativity, and faster decision-making—giving you the mental edge to reach new heights.
The Cost of a Non-Optimized Brain
When your brain isn’t functioning at its best, every area of your life suffers—from career performance to personal relationships, from decision-making to emotional well-being. Without the right tools to optimize your brain, you may struggle with:
- Brain fog and forgetfulness
- Lack of focus and productivity
- Difficulty handling stress
- Low energy and motivation
- Relationship challenges due to poor communication
These issues can contribute to a lifetime of:
- Less financial success
- Missed opportunities
- Unnecessary struggles in relationships
- Feeling overwhelmed by everyday life
- Coming up short in athletic pursuits
But you don’t have to settle for these limitations. The Peak Brain Performance Program provides the science-backed strategies and personalized insights you need to take control and thrive.
What Makes Amen Clinics Different?
After analyzing over 250,000 brain scans—the world’s largest database of brain scans related to behavior—we understand that your brain is unique, and we recognize that one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work. Through our brain-imaging work, we have identified 16 brain types, including five primary types. Each brain type has its own strengths and challenges that affect how you work, respond to stress, and interact with others. (See more about the five primary brain types below.)
That’s why the Peak Brain Performance Program begins with an assessment of your brain. Amen Clinics uses SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography), a sophisticated imaging technique that creates a detailed view of brain activity and blood flow. This provides critical insights into the way your brain functions by identifying three key things: optimal activity, underactive regions, or overactive areas.
Typically, a healthy brain scan reveals balanced, symmetrical activity. When your brain is healthy, you’re better able to be goal-oriented, creative, focused, and organized, as well as to ride out stressful situations and be a good decision-maker and effective leader. When your brain is overactive or underactive, you’re much more likely to have problems, including issues with planning, focus, organization, memory, stress, or relationships.
Brain imbalances that are not addressed can hinder your performance at work, at home, at school, or in sports. The good news is, you’re not stuck with the brain you have. You can make it better. And the Peak Brain Performance Program can help you do it.
Our experts use advanced brain imaging and detailed assessments to help you understand your brain and create a personalized plan for optimizing your performance. Knowing more about your brain helps you:
- Maximize strengths
- Overcome weaknesses
- Perform better under pressure
- Enhance workplace relationships and collaboration

Understanding Brain Types for Peak Performance
Amen Clinics’ brain-imaging work has identified 16 brain types, including five primary brain types:
Type 1: Balanced Brain
Reliable, disciplined, and consistent. Often seen in managers and steady professionals. This type tends to have full, even, symmetrical blood flow in the brain, which is associated with mental resilience.
Balanced Brain Scan
Full, even, symmetrical activity
Optimization bonus: Boost brainpower to even higher levels for peak performance in every area of your life.
Type 2: Spontaneous Brain
Creative, risk-taking, and innovative. Common among entrepreneurs, entertainers, and leaders. People with this type have lower activity in the front part of the brain, which is associated with increased vulnerability for ADHD, substance abuse, and depression.
Spontaneous Brain Scan
Low blood flow in front part of brain
Optimization bonus: Take smarter risks and harness your efforts so you can follow through more effectively on your creative ideas.
Type 3: Persistent Brain
Tenacious, detail-oriented, and driven. Found in project managers, engineers, and chief operating officers. This type has more activity in the front part of the brain, which can lead to a stick-to-it attitude, a tendency to worry, and in some people, a vulnerability for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Persistent Brain Scan
Increased blood flow in front part of brain
Optimization bonus: Capitalize on your take-charge style while developing greater cognitive flexibility so you can go with the flow and make quick career or business shifts at the most opportune times.
Type 4: Sensitive Brain
Empathic, intuitive, and emotionally attuned. Common in therapists, creatives, and healthcare professionals. In this type, the brain’s emotional centers are more active than average, making you more vulnerable to negativity, depression, mood disorders, and addiction.
Sensitive Brain Scan
Increased activity in emotional centers
Optimization bonus: Imagine how much more effective you could be if you could break free from negative thinking patterns and embrace a can-do attitude.
Type 5: Cautious Brain
Prepared, risk-averse, and analytical. Found in researchers, accountants, and strategists. In people with this type, the brain’s fear and anxiety centers are more active than average, making you more likely to be anxious and cautious.
Cautious Brain Scan
Increased activity in anxiety and fear centers
Optimization bonus: When you free yourself of anxious tendencies, you stop thinking about the fear of failure and open yourself up to greater possibilities.
Knowing your brain type gives you the insight to play to your strengths, minimize weaknesses, and elevate your success.
