0:00:02.480,0:00:04.439
Good afternoon.

0:00:04.439,0:00:06.942
I am so excited to be here.

0:00:06.943,0:00:08.905
I actually film all my shows here

0:00:08.906,0:00:11.429
at the Orange County[br]Performing Arts Center.

0:00:11.430,0:00:16.152
So, innovation is a brain function.

0:00:16.154,0:00:21.192
It is dependent on[br]the physical health of your brain.

0:00:21.193,0:00:25.218
So, did you know obviously, your brain[br]is involved in everything you do:

0:00:25.219,0:00:30.749
how you think, how you feel, how you act,[br]how you get along with other people.

0:00:30.750,0:00:32.509
At the Amen Clinics, we have looked

0:00:32.509,0:00:37.124
at over 63,000 brain scans[br]over the last 20 years,

0:00:37.125,0:00:41.584
and it is very clear to me[br]that your brain is the organ of judgment,

0:00:41.585,0:00:46.279
personality, character, and innovation.

0:00:46.280,0:00:49.697
And when you brain works right,

0:00:50.737,0:00:52.506
you work right.

0:00:52.507,0:00:55.781
And when your brain is troubled,

0:00:55.782,0:00:59.912
you are much more likely[br]to have trouble in your life.

0:00:59.918,0:01:03.958
So what you see on the screen[br]are two brain SPECT scans.

0:01:03.959,0:01:07.969
SPECT is the study[br]that we do in our clinic.

0:01:07.970,0:01:10.388
It is a very sophisticated[br]brain imaging study

0:01:10.389,0:01:13.449
that looks at blood flow[br]and activity patterns.

0:01:13.450,0:01:15.490
It looks at how your brain works.

0:01:15.491,0:01:19.517
And it basically shows us three things:[br]areas of the brain that work well,

0:01:19.518,0:01:22.868
areas of the brain[br]that are low in activity,

0:01:22.869,0:01:25.276
and areas of the brain[br]that are high in activity.

0:01:25.277,0:01:28.241
So good activity, too little, or too much.

0:01:28.242,0:01:30.825
And then our job becomes balancing it.

0:01:30.826,0:01:33.479
The image on your left is a healthy scan.

0:01:33.480,0:01:37.491
It shows full, even, symmetrical activity.

0:01:37.492,0:01:41.222
The color doesn't mean[br]anything, it's the shape.

0:01:41.223,0:01:44.517
The image on the right[br]is an alcoholic scan.

0:01:44.518,0:01:47.866
Alcohol is directly toxic[br]to brain function.

0:01:47.867,0:01:49.767
I know many of you believe

0:01:49.768,0:01:52.979
you have to have[br]your two glasses of red wine a day

0:01:52.980,0:01:55.029
because it's good for your heart.

0:01:55.030,0:01:57.374
It is not good for your brain.

0:02:00.974,0:02:04.948
With a healthy brain,[br]it's very clear to me

0:02:04.949,0:02:09.233
you're happier, healthier,[br]wealthier, you're wiser,

0:02:09.234,0:02:12.229
you're more creative, more innovative.

0:02:12.230,0:02:15.743
When your brain is not healthy,[br]for whatever reason:

0:02:15.744,0:02:19.464
you had a brain injury,[br]you have a terrible diet,

0:02:19.465,0:02:22.493
you live in a toxic environment,

0:02:22.494,0:02:26.652
you're sadder, sicker,[br]poorer, not as smart.

0:02:26.653,0:02:30.260
You're more rigid, and you're inflexible,

0:02:30.261,0:02:33.501
which is the opposite of innovation.

0:02:36.171,0:02:40.243
I've said this tens of thousands of times,[br]and it always blows me away.

0:02:40.244,0:02:43.748
Your brain is the most complicated[br]organ in the universe.

0:02:43.749,0:02:47.508
There is nothing as complex[br]as the human brain, nothing.

0:02:47.509,0:02:51.265
It is estimated we have[br]100 billion nerve cells.

0:02:51.266,0:02:54.745
And each nerve cell is connected[br]to other nerve cells,

0:02:54.746,0:02:57.044
not in a one-to-one connection,

0:02:57.045,0:03:02.513
but up to 10,000 individual[br]connections between cells.

0:03:02.514,0:03:07.407
Which means you have[br]more connection in your skull

0:03:07.408,0:03:10.499
than there are stars in the Universe.

0:03:10.500,0:03:16.476
Information in your brain[br]travels at about 268 miles an hour.

0:03:16.477,0:03:18.778
Unless, of course, you're drunk.

0:03:20.748,0:03:24.237
And even though your brain[br]is only 2% of your body's weight,

0:03:24.238,0:03:30.009
it uses 20 to 30%[br]of the calories that you consume.

0:03:30.010,0:03:35.252
So, of the breakfast you had this morning,[br]or the lunch you had this afternoon,

0:03:35.253,0:03:40.735
almost a third of it goes to feed[br]2% of your body's weight.

0:03:40.736,0:03:46.466
Your brain is the most expensive[br]real estate in your body.

0:03:47.256,0:03:52.501
On average, you lose[br]85,000 brain cells a day.

0:03:52.502,0:03:55.248
And what we've discovered[br]at the Amen Clinics

0:03:55.249,0:04:00.994
is you can accelerate the aging[br]process with your behavior,

0:04:00.995,0:04:03.511
or you can decelerate it.

0:04:03.512,0:04:05.690
How exciting is that?

0:04:07.510,0:04:12.475
The health of your brain[br]also decelerates innovation,

0:04:12.476,0:04:14.425
or it accelerates it.

0:04:14.426,0:04:16.708
So what are the things[br]that hurt your brain?

0:04:16.709,0:04:18.213
Brain injury should be obvious.

0:04:18.214,0:04:21.043
I just finished the largest NFL study,

0:04:21.045,0:04:23.989
brain imaging study[br]on retired NFL players.

0:04:23.990,0:04:27.485
The NFL is no longer lying[br]about brain injuries.

0:04:27.486,0:04:30.475
They're taking it much more seriously.

0:04:30.476,0:04:34.471
Do not let your kids play tackle football,[br]or hit soccer balls with their head.

0:04:34.472,0:04:38.918
Come on, the brain is very soft,[br]about the consistency of soft butter.

0:04:38.919,0:04:41.917
And your skull is really hard,

0:04:41.918,0:04:46.207
and it has many sharp, bony ridges.

0:04:46.208,0:04:48.475
You have to protect it.

0:04:48.476,0:04:50.236
Drugs and alcohol should be obvious,

0:04:50.237,0:04:54.011
but what our country[br]has no clue yet, but is learning,

0:04:54.012,0:04:57.989
is that obesity damages brain function.

0:04:57.990,0:05:00.505
There are now ten studies.

0:05:00.506,0:05:03.950
We just published a study[br]in the Nature journal, "Obesity",

0:05:03.951,0:05:07.170
that says as your weight goes up,

0:05:07.171,0:05:13.089
the actual physical size and function[br]of your brain goes down.

0:05:14.759,0:05:16.049
Whoa.

0:05:16.050,0:05:18.833
That should scare the fat off anyone.

0:05:18.834,0:05:20.547
(Laughter)

0:05:21.227,0:05:24.987
I read that study, the first one[br]that came out about three years ago,

0:05:24.988,0:05:27.435
I dropped 25 pounds.

0:05:27.436,0:05:32.950
I was serious, when it comes[br]to the brain, size matters.

0:05:32.951,0:05:35.622
You do not want a smaller brain.

0:05:36.762,0:05:38.134
(Laughter)

0:05:40.464,0:05:42.748
Smoking constricts[br]blood flow to the brain.

0:05:42.749,0:05:46.283
Like it prematurely ages your skin,[br]it prematurely ages the brain.

0:05:46.284,0:05:48.961
High blood pressure,[br]as your blood pressure goes up,

0:05:48.962,0:05:52.201
the blood flow to your brain goes down.

0:05:52.202,0:05:55.829
So you need to know your blood pressure[br]on a regular basis,

0:05:55.830,0:05:58.518
and if it's high, take it seriously.

0:05:58.519,0:06:03.249
Diabetes, standard American diet,[br]environmental toxins,

0:06:03.250,0:06:09.168
lack of exercise, and something I call[br]ANTs - Automatic Negative Thoughts,

0:06:09.199,0:06:13.316
the thoughts that come into your mind[br]automatically and ruin your day.

0:06:13.317,0:06:17.960
They are the seeds[br]of anxiety disorders and depression.

0:06:17.961,0:06:21.197
So if this is true, it is,

0:06:21.198,0:06:23.771
what are the things you can do[br]to help your brain?

0:06:23.772,0:06:25.728
Positive social connections.

0:06:25.729,0:06:29.221
Unbelievable, the people[br]you spend time with

0:06:29.222,0:06:31.731
determine your longevity.

0:06:31.732,0:06:32.975
Isn't that interesting?

0:06:32.976,0:06:34.917
If you spend time with people

0:06:34.918,0:06:39.277
who have healthy health habits,

0:06:39.278,0:06:42.338
you pick those up,[br]because people are contagious.

0:06:42.339,0:06:46.258
If you spend time with people[br]who do not have healthy habits,

0:06:46.259,0:06:47.780
you die early.

0:06:48.980,0:06:52.230
Become very serious[br]about who you spend your time with.

0:06:52.231,0:06:55.171
New learning, so TED is perfect for this.

0:06:55.172,0:06:58.776
Whenever you learn something new,[br]your brain makes a new connection.

0:06:58.777,0:07:03.954
When you stop learning, your brain[br]actually starts to disconnect itself.

0:07:03.957,0:07:06.765
Diet is absolutely essential.

0:07:06.766,0:07:11.720
You are consuming the nutrients[br]that are helping you,

0:07:11.721,0:07:14.682
or the toxins that hurt you.

0:07:15.922,0:07:18.441
The SAD diet, the Standard American Diet,

0:07:18.442,0:07:23.307
is not only associated with heart disease,[br]cancer, and diabetes.

0:07:23.308,0:07:25.980
It's associated with depression,

0:07:25.981,0:07:29.519
attentional problems,[br]and Alzheimer's disease.

0:07:29.520,0:07:32.246
Food is medicine, or it is poison.

0:07:32.247,0:07:35.597
Sleep, again it's absolutely essential.

0:07:35.598,0:07:40.536
Because you know, in 1900, we got,[br]on average, nine hours of sleep at night.

0:07:40.537,0:07:45.286
In 2011, we get six hours[br]of sleep at night.

0:07:45.287,0:07:49.503
Less than seven hours of sleep, you get[br]lower overall blood flow to the brain.

0:07:49.504,0:07:53.443
Your brain cannot go through[br]that kind of transition

0:07:53.444,0:07:55.763
in such a short period of human history,

0:07:55.764,0:07:58.704
without there being[br]very serious consequences.

0:07:58.705,0:08:00.875
And as sleep goes down, weight goes up,

0:08:00.876,0:08:03.504
because your cravings get out of control.

0:08:03.505,0:08:06.831
So, being physically healthy is important.

0:08:06.832,0:08:10.920
But having anxiety is important.

0:08:10.921,0:08:14.048
Did you know there are[br]great studies with longevity,

0:08:14.049,0:08:15.623
and the children who were

0:08:15.624,0:08:19.263
the "Don't worry,[br]be happy" children die early,

0:08:19.264,0:08:23.975
because they didn't take[br]their health seriously enough.

0:08:24.845,0:08:28.523
I hope I give you a little anxiety.

0:08:29.753,0:08:31.742
You know, I'm a psychiatrist by training.

0:08:31.743,0:08:35.993
I was teaching people to chill out,[br]and what I came to realize,

0:08:35.994,0:08:40.549
is I need to motivate them a little bit[br]and just increase their fear,

0:08:40.551,0:08:44.552
so that the double cheeseburgers[br]are not calling their name.

0:08:45.466,0:08:47.103
Meditation fooled us.

0:08:47.104,0:08:50.646
What we thought, you know,[br]meditate, zone out, brain calms down.

0:08:50.647,0:08:52.553
Absolutely not like that at all.

0:08:52.554,0:08:56.258
When people meditate,[br]it activates the front part of their brain

0:08:56.259,0:09:00.280
which is the most human,[br]thoughtful part of their brain.

0:09:00.281,0:09:01.951
You want the best antidepressant?

0:09:01.952,0:09:04.364
It's not Prozac, it's gratitude.

0:09:04.365,0:09:07.376
You write down three things[br]you're grateful for every day.

0:09:07.377,0:09:09.231
Within three weeks you'll notice

0:09:09.232,0:09:12.868
a significant difference[br]in your level of happiness.

0:09:12.869,0:09:16.557
ANT-killing means don't believe[br]every stupid thought you have.

0:09:16.558,0:09:19.737
You go, "OK, Dr. Amen, you've been[br]a psychiatrist for 30 years.

0:09:19.738,0:09:22.001
Single most important thing[br]people can do?"

0:09:22.002,0:09:25.275
Don't believe every stupid[br]thought you have.

0:09:25.276,0:09:29.229
Have this little question,[br]in your head, "Is it true?"

0:09:29.230,0:09:34.226
So when you feel like your husband[br]doesn't love you, is it true?

0:09:34.227,0:09:39.139
Because when you question your thoughts,[br]you live in a more rational world.

0:09:40.239,0:09:43.504
Here are examples[br]of three 60-year-old brains.

0:09:43.505,0:09:45.687
One with Alzheimer's disease.

0:09:45.688,0:09:48.494
One that is overweight,[br]that has sleep apnea,

0:09:48.495,0:09:51.751
which is a disaster for brain function.

0:09:51.752,0:09:52.771
And a healthy scan.

0:09:52.772,0:09:54.415
Which brain do you want?

0:09:54.416,0:09:56.620
I know which brain I want.

0:09:58.930,0:10:02.188
Here are five ways brain imaging[br]will change everything you do.

0:10:02.189,0:10:05.528
The first thing,[br]it will give you brain envy.

0:10:05.529,0:10:06.966
(Laughter)

0:10:07.516,0:10:11.549
So, I started doing scans in 1991.

0:10:13.099,0:10:18.016
I was 37 years old,[br]and I scanned my own brain.

0:10:18.017,0:10:20.532
And I looked at it,[br]compared to a lot of other scans,

0:10:20.533,0:10:26.021
and I went, "Yuck,[br]too many bumps, bumpy places."

0:10:26.022,0:10:27.989
And I've actually never drank.

0:10:27.990,0:10:30.733
I got drunk when I was 16,[br]I had a hangover for five days.

0:10:30.734,0:10:32.520
I went, "This is not for me."

0:10:34.730,0:10:36.682
Never smoked, never did drugs.

0:10:36.683,0:10:39.578
I'm like, "Why does my brain look so bad?"

0:10:39.579,0:10:43.873
But at the time, I had[br]a lot of bad brain habits.

0:10:43.874,0:10:46.209
I only slept four or five hours a night

0:10:46.210,0:10:48.310
because I was driven.

0:10:50.200,0:10:53.750
I was drinking diet soda[br]like she was my best friend.

0:10:53.751,0:10:55.042
And I carried more weight,

0:10:55.043,0:10:59.472
was under chronic stress, and it showed.

0:10:59.473,0:11:03.832
And so, since I saw my scan,[br]and developed brain envy,

0:11:03.833,0:11:06.957
at 52, I scanned myself again,[br]and it's much younger.

0:11:06.958,0:11:08.735
My brain looks better.

0:11:08.736,0:11:10.694
And you know, you can do that.

0:11:10.695,0:11:13.202
That's the cool thing about the brain.

0:11:13.203,0:11:15.707
You've probably heard[br]about brain plasticity.

0:11:15.708,0:11:18.531
But if you make good decisions today,

0:11:18.532,0:11:21.301
we found this out with our NFL study,

0:11:21.302,0:11:26.043
that you can start to improve[br]your brain within two months.

0:11:26.044,0:11:29.651
It's like, how exciting is that?

0:11:29.652,0:11:34.384
And, with a better brain,[br]everything in your life is better;

0:11:34.385,0:11:38.029
from your body to your money,[br]to your relationships,

0:11:38.030,0:11:40.524
to the level of innovation.

0:11:41.774,0:11:44.907
The second thing is, since brain imaging,

0:11:44.909,0:11:48.482
I would never let my kids[br]play tackle football.

0:11:48.483,0:11:51.105
When does the brain finish developing?

0:11:54.495,0:11:56.035
Twenty-five.

0:11:56.985,0:12:00.248
Your brain, and in males,

0:12:00.249,0:12:02.499
some people think it's more like 28.

0:12:03.979,0:12:09.224
So the idea that you are an adult at 18,

0:12:09.225,0:12:13.240
from the neuroscience perspective,[br]is just flat-out stupid.

0:12:13.241,0:12:15.541
And the insurance companies know that.

0:12:15.542,0:12:20.231
When do your insurance rates[br]change and stabilize? Twenty-five.

0:12:20.232,0:12:23.510
Why? Because you're[br]making better decisions.

0:12:23.516,0:12:26.867
And the decisions you make[br]are a brain function.

0:12:26.868,0:12:30.785
So do not let your kids[br]put their brains at risk.

0:12:30.786,0:12:34.417
You'll take environmental toxins[br]so much more seriously.

0:12:34.418,0:12:38.584
This is one of the firefighters[br]that we scanned recently.

0:12:38.585,0:12:40.797
And you see this overall low activity.

0:12:40.798,0:12:43.610
Those holes? He doesn't have[br]physical holes in his brain.

0:12:43.611,0:12:47.836
What he has is[br]serious overall low activity.

0:12:49.246,0:12:52.078
You'll take your weight[br]a whole bunch more seriously.

0:12:54.148,0:12:59.279
And you'll think about the early detection[br]and prevention of Alzheimer's disease.

0:12:59.280,0:13:05.004
Alzheimer's disease is expected[br]to triple in the next 25 years

0:13:05.005,0:13:07.749
We cannot afford this.

0:13:07.750,0:13:10.164
And how you prevent Alzheimer's disease?

0:13:10.165,0:13:14.024
Is you prevent all the illnesses[br]that are associated with it,

0:13:14.025,0:13:18.223
like heart disease, cancer, diabetes,

0:13:18.224,0:13:21.564
depression, and high blood pressure.

0:13:23.284,0:13:28.141
So, how to create a brain-smart[br]world to accelerate individuals?

0:13:28.142,0:13:29.724
This is my goal.

0:13:30.504,0:13:35.017
And we see individuals and families[br]at the Amen Clinics,

0:13:35.018,0:13:37.761
but we're very interested in schools,

0:13:37.762,0:13:41.892
in churches, businesses, and communities.

0:13:46.372,0:13:47.690
And, I love this.

0:13:47.691,0:13:52.708
Andy came to see me about four months ago.

0:13:52.709,0:13:54.485
First time, about ten years ago,

0:13:54.486,0:13:57.245
when he was 53, and his brain[br]just looked awful.

0:13:57.246,0:14:01.821
And I got him to buy[br]into the program of brain health.

0:14:01.822,0:14:04.487
And, this is what his brain[br]looked like ten years later.

0:14:04.488,0:14:06.135
Isn't that cool?

0:14:08.685,0:14:12.125
And I want to talk[br]about getting systems involved.

0:14:12.126,0:14:15.559
So, I was working on my new show.

0:14:17.969,0:14:21.334
And while I was working[br]on my show, I went to church.

0:14:22.744,0:14:24.773
And my wife said she'd drop Chloe off,

0:14:24.774,0:14:28.914
our seven-year-old, at children's church,[br]and I would go save us seats.

0:14:28.915,0:14:34.234
And, it's at a very large church nearby,[br]and it's not Saddleback.

0:14:34.235,0:14:37.476
And as I walked into church,

0:14:37.477,0:14:41.097
I passed 500 donuts for sale.

0:14:42.097,0:14:44.105
And I was just irritated.

0:14:46.465,0:14:50.670
And then I walked by bacon[br]and sausage cooking on the grill.

0:14:50.681,0:14:52.736
And I'm furious.

0:14:52.737,0:14:55.234
And right before I go into the sanctuary,

0:14:55.235,0:14:58.689
they're cooking hundreds of hot dogs

0:14:59.719,0:15:02.248
for something after church.

0:15:02.249,0:15:06.478
And as I sat down in the sanctuary,[br]the minister started talking

0:15:06.479,0:15:09.729
about the ice cream festival[br]they had the night before.

0:15:11.459,0:15:13.477
And, I'm nearly psychotic at this point.

0:15:13.478,0:15:15.077
(Laughter)

0:15:15.078,0:15:18.765
And when my wife found me,[br]I was typing on my phone,

0:15:18.766,0:15:21.245
which she hates.

0:15:21.246,0:15:24.183
And she gave me that look[br]that only your wife can give you,

0:15:24.184,0:15:28.531
that said, "Why the hell are you[br]on this thing in church?"

0:15:28.532,0:15:30.111
(Laughter)

0:15:30.112,0:15:32.019
And I showed her what I was writing:

0:15:32.020,0:15:35.431
"Go to church, get donuts, sausage,

0:15:35.432,0:15:37.751
bacon, hot dogs, ice cream.

0:15:37.752,0:15:39.638
They have no idea.

0:15:39.639,0:15:43.241
They're sending people to heaven early!"

0:15:43.242,0:15:44.768
(Laughter)

0:15:47.202,0:15:49.512
It's like, not the plan.

0:15:49.513,0:15:51.261
(Laughter)

0:15:51.262,0:15:54.518
And I have no idea what the minister[br]said the rest of that service.

0:15:54.519,0:15:56.516
I just sat there,

0:15:57.996,0:16:02.895
praying that God would use me[br]to change churches.

0:16:02.896,0:16:04.549
Because this isn't the plan.

0:16:05.539,0:16:09.033
No lie, two weeks later,

0:16:09.034,0:16:10.904
Rick Warren calls me.

0:16:12.784,0:16:15.529
He said, "Dr. Amen,[br]we're doing this program

0:16:15.530,0:16:18.977
called Decade of Destiny[br]in the next ten years at Saddleback.

0:16:20.437,0:16:23.933
I want to get the congregation[br]and myself healthy.

0:16:23.934,0:16:26.015
Will you help me?"

0:16:26.016,0:16:29.521
I'm like, "Oh my God,[br]God was paying attention."

0:16:29.522,0:16:31.088
(Laughter)

0:16:32.030,0:16:37.226
Often in my life I don't feel[br]like that, but I'm so excited.

0:16:37.232,0:16:39.714
And so we have put together a program

0:16:39.715,0:16:43.881
called The Daniel Plan:[br]God's Prescription for your Health,

0:16:43.882,0:16:46.466
for the 30,000 members at Saddleback.

0:16:46.467,0:16:48.619
And we give them[br]the opportunity to sign up

0:16:48.620,0:16:50.482
for the research part of the program.

0:16:50.483,0:16:56.271
We now have nearly 15,000 people[br]in our research study.

0:16:56.272,0:16:58.721
Saddleback, as we developed[br]the Daniel Plan,

0:16:58.722,0:17:02.881
is connected[br]to 400,000 churches around the world.

0:17:02.882,0:17:07.419
Next year, after we've beta tested[br]this year, we're going to export it.

0:17:07.420,0:17:09.787
I couldn't be more excited about this.

0:17:09.788,0:17:12.692
And we deliver the content[br]through small groups.

0:17:12.693,0:17:16.928
Why? Because people get well in groups.

0:17:16.929,0:17:21.487
They get well as families,[br]they get well in support groups.

0:17:21.488,0:17:23.440
And after three months,

0:17:23.441,0:17:28.480
the church has already lost[br]160,000 pounds.

0:17:28.481,0:17:33.172
People report improved energy,[br]focus, creativity, sleep, mood,

0:17:33.173,0:17:37.781
reductions in asthma, stress,[br]blood pressure, blood sugars,

0:17:37.782,0:17:39.432
and many medications.

0:17:39.433,0:17:45.121
We have our own Daniel Plan menu,[br]and I have my challenges.

0:17:45.122,0:17:49.346
I am still trying to get them[br]to kill the donuts at church.

0:17:50.366,0:17:52.931
You might pray for me.

0:17:52.932,0:17:54.665
(Laughter)

0:17:56.927,0:17:59.203
I couldn't be more excited

0:17:59.204,0:18:04.804
to be part of what has the potential[br]to change the world

0:18:04.805,0:18:06.894
from the church up.

0:18:06.895,0:18:11.627
But you know, it also needs[br]to happen from the school up.

0:18:11.628,0:18:14.907
The food they serve[br]your children is a scandal,

0:18:14.908,0:18:17.041
and research suggests

0:18:17.042,0:18:21.651
that it actually increases[br]attentional and behavior problems.

0:18:21.652,0:18:24.270
There's three studies now[br]in the journal The Lancet

0:18:24.271,0:18:26.493
that said, "put kids on elimination diet,"

0:18:26.494,0:18:29.901
which basically means eliminate[br]all the crap in their diet.

0:18:29.902,0:18:33.069
And within three months, 73% of them

0:18:33.070,0:18:37.532
show greater than a 50% reduction[br]in their symptoms.

0:18:37.533,0:18:39.309
This isn't hard.

0:18:41.019,0:18:42.938
We need to change our society, though.

0:18:42.939,0:18:45.524
From businesses up, from hospitals up.

0:18:45.525,0:18:48.093
I went and visited my aunt[br]in the hospital,

0:18:48.094,0:18:51.834
I said, "I have to get you out of here,[br]the food is going to kill you."

0:18:51.836,0:18:53.366
(Laughter)

0:18:54.537,0:19:00.114
Brain health and innovation[br]are intimately connected.

0:19:00.904,0:19:05.360
Please help me create[br]a brain healthy world.

0:19:05.361,0:19:06.570
Thank you.

0:19:06.571,0:19:07.943
(Applause)
