Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose, the number one health and wellness podcast in the world, thanks to each and every one of you. Today what you're going to hear is a conversation between me and power couple Dr. Daniel Aiman and Tana. Dr. Aiman, the director of Aiman Clinics, has worked in the world of psychiatry for 40 years.

His wife, Tana Aiman, is a world-renowned wellness expert and New York times best-selling author of the Omni diet. Today, we have a conversation about the internal and external conditions that contribute to mental health. As we all are confronted with internal and external stresses, this conversation with Dr. Aiman and Tana will give you another perspective on how to approach the healing process. Dr. Aiman, Tana, and I had this conversation over Instagram live a few weeks back during my mental health day series. And I'm really excited to share this conversation

with you today on On Purpose. Share what you learned from it or any questions that came up for you and tag Dr. Aiman. Montana and I on Instagram. [♪ music playing in'm so glad that my audience is going to get to tap into both of your geniuses and your mind today and all your great insight and advice. So this is day three of our online mental health festival. And I want to hear from both of you

about your incredible insights. And I want to start with you, Dr. Raymond, based on something we talked about in my podcast, and I remember you redefining our challenges not being mental health, but brain health. And when you shared this with me, this was truly unique, something I'd never heard before, and I'd love for you to share that with everybody who's listening and watching today. Well, thank you so much. I've been your block band of mental illness, where I argue, you know. I've been your block, the end of mental illness,

where I argue, you know, I've been a psychiatrist for almost 40 years, and I've always hated the term mental illness because it shames people. When you call someone mental, that's not a good thing. It's stigmatizing, and then about 30 years ago, I started looking at the brain. And I realized most psychiatric problems are not mental health issues at all. Rather, they are brain health issues. And this one idea just changes everything. Get your brain right and your mind will follow. And very

few psychiatrists, psychologists, ever talk about brain health, you need to eat right. You need to exercise. You need to take your supplements because if the hardware of your your soul, your brain is not right. It won't run the software program. That's incredible. It's really, every time I hear you say that, I'm like, aah, gosh, I need to start focusing on my brain more. So it's a great reminder for all of us.

And I would encourage everyone to go and get a copy of the End of Mental Owners to get that beginning journey of where to start and any of Dr. Amin's work. But Tanna, you obviously just recently are about to release this incredible book called The Relentless Courage of a Scared Child. And I haven't had an opportunity to sit with the book yet and I'm excited. I know we're going to figure out how to get you on the podcast and have a conversation in deeper. I'd love to do that. Thank you.

Thank you. I love the title and I love the cover. I have it here and every time I look at the cover, it's captivating. It's captivating because it just brings me into that feeling of being a scared child and I think all of us are carrying around a scared child inside of us. So tell me what that title means to you and how that connects with mental health. So I grew up in a very chaotic environment as did so many of us, very chaotic, very lots of trauma, lots of addiction, lots of mental illness or what we call mental challenges.

And as a result out of my own survival, I learned to build walls, isolate, pull away from people, disconnect. And if you don't want to reconnect with people and you don't want to have, or if you want to stay disconnected, here's just a little tip, that's why I don't marry a psychiatrist. I want to fix everybody. So Daniels always nudged me to reconnect and be curious instead of furious. It's like, why did they behave that way? Maybe it's not all just about willpower.

Did they have a head injury? We look at mental health through four circles. Biological, how is your body functioning, psychological, your mind, spiritual, what is your meaning and purpose? And social, who are you connected to? Because people are contagious. And when I started thinking about my family through that lens, it was uncomfortable.

Because I really wanted to stay disconnected and distant from all that chaos. But then all of a sudden I felt this level of responsibility. And I love the word responsibility because it means the ability to respond. It doesn't mean taking blame. It means the ability to respond. So writing my story was one of the most powerful things I could do. It really was uncomfortable, but gave me the opportunity to see some of the chaos and some of the trauma through an adult lens and just heal and see that many of these people were doing the best they could with what they had. Because it was pretty crazy. And it's beautiful.

It's not only beautifully written. It's fun. It's funny. It's not only beautifully written, it's fun, it's funny, it's disturbing. You know, to just talk about one of my favorite stories in the book is how she disconnected from her dad who was a pastor who embezzled from the church and cheated on, I mean, it was just not good. And she had pushed him away. But when we first dated, he had just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. And I'm like, well, I have to see him.

And I'm like, no, this is like Jerry Springer material. We're not bringing him into my life. And I found through imaging that he didn't have Alzheimer's disease. He had something called pseudo dementia, which is severe depression that mask raids that he didn't have Alzheimer's disease. He had something called pseudo dementia, which is severe depression that masquerades his Alzheimer's disease. And over the next six months, he went from being a recluse to someone who was giving all day seminars at the church. And even though he died five years later, it had nothing to do with his mind. He died with a very clear mind in Tana's arms.

With me praying for him. And I realize in that moment, one of the big lessons in my book, one of the big overarching themes is sometimes you're called to do something that you don't wanna do and you don't realize that the help might be for someone else but the healing is for you. So don't rob yourself of those opportunities to heal by helping someone else, even when

it's uncomfortable. That's a really interesting perspective. And I love that redefinition of the word responsibility. I've never, ever heard that. I've never thought of it like that. The ability to respond, not taking blame, not feeling guilty, not, nothing. Now I have to sort this out, but just actually saying, well, let me find the ability to respond, not taking blame, not feeling guilty, not, nothing now I have to sort this out, but just actually saying, well, let me find the ability to respond. I think that's incredible.

Now, Dr. Raymond, I know I was speaking to your team and they shared these incredible statistics with me from your work. You know, this is what they shared. Every 14 minutes, someone commits suicide in the United States, every eight minutes, someone dies of a drug overdose. And according to a large epidemiological study, 51% of the US population will struggle with a mental health issue at some point in their lives. Where do we start? Because I think looking

at those stats, we all know someone or know of someone who's going through this right now, even if it's not ourselves, where do we start? What's step one, and I'd love to hear from both of you and both of your unique approaches as to how you think people need to start? Well, those statistics are actually from before the pandemic. So before March, eight percent of the population

struggled with significant depression, which has been creeping up over the last decades. In September was 27%. Just with depression. So the mental health challenges have skyrocketed. I have never seen suicide at this level, the level of hopelessness. And when the pandemic started for me, it was actually March 10th, the end of mental illness had just come out. I had a trip, I was going to be in a special show in New York, and that got canceled. And that night, I wrote down mental hygiene is just as important as washing your hands. So where we all start, the end of mental illness will begin with a revolution in brain health. That we see this organ come in a new

docu-series with Justin Bieber called Seasons and he came out of his doctor for a long time. I love Justin, but like many celebrities, sometimes he'd do it, I'd say, and often he wouldn't. But he came into my office and he said, my brain is an organ, just like my heart is an organ. If you told me I had heart problems, I'd do everything you said. And that's how we need to start the revolution is love, honor, take care of the brain. And it's super simple. It's three strategies. Brain envy.

You've got to care about it. Avoid things that hurt your brain. Know the less and do things that help. And the little tiny habit, I talk about many tiny habits in the end of mental illness. But the one that's the most important is you go through your day, ask yourself, whatever you're doing. Is this decision good for my brain or bad for it? And if you can start answering that with information and love, love of yourself, love of your family, love of your mission, your name starts feeling better from a mental health perspective because ultimately your brain creates your mental health. In the 1680s, a feisty opera singer burned down a nunnery and stole away with her secret lover.

In 1810, a pirate queen negotiated her cruiseway to total freedom with all their loot. A pirate queen negotiated her cruise way to total freedom, with all their loot. During World War II, a flirtatious gambling double agent helped keep D-Day a secret from the Germans. What do these stories have in common? They're all about real women who were left out of your history books. If you're tired of missing out, check out the Womanica podcast, a daily women's history podcast highlighting women you may not have heard of, but definitely should know about. I'm your host, Jenny Kaplan, and for me, diving into these stories is the best part of my day. I learned something new about women from around the world and leave feeling amazed, inspired,

and sometimes shocked. Listen on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast Martin, and my podcast, City of the Rails. I plunge into the dark world of America's railroads, searching for my daughter Ruby, who ran off to hop train. I'm just like stuck on this train, not now. It's where I'm gonna end up. And I jump. Following my daughter, I found a secret city of unforgettable characters, living outside society,

off the grid, and on the edge. I was in love with a lifestyle and the freedom this community. No one understands who we truly are. The Rails made me question everything I knew about motherhood, history, and the thing we call the American dream. It's the last vestige of American freedom. Everything about it is extreme.

You're either going to die, or you can have this incredible rebirth and really understand who you are. Come with me to find out what waits for us in the City of the Rails. Listen to City of the Rails on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. Or, cityoftherails.com. I am MiYAMLA and on my podcast, The R-Spot, we're having inspirational, educational, and sometimes difficult and challenging conversations

about relationships. They may not have the capacity to give you what you need. And insisting means that you are abusing yourself now. You human. That means that you're craziest, L. Just like the rest of us. Ha, ha, ha, ha. That means that you're crazy as hell, just like the rest of us. When a relationship breaks down, I take copious notes and I want to share them with you.

Anybody with two eyes and a brain knows that too much Alfredo sauce is just no good for you. But if you're going to eat it, they're not going to stop you. So he's going to continue to give you the Alfredo sauce and put it even on your grits if you don't stop him. Listen to the R-Spot on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Can I love to hear your perspective, whether people start when you hear those statistics

I saw your reaction on your face immediately, And now that we know that those stats were from the fore the pandemic and Dr. Raymond just told us that it's actually 27%. I mean, where do people start? So I, I mean, I agree with my husband a hundred percent, but for me, it's more personal. It's one of the things I write about in my book. It's, it's, my heart goes out to people who are struggling with this right now because there was a point in my life where I wanted to be dead. I fortunately didn't have it within me to take my own life, but I kept praying that a truck would hit me or something would happen so it wasn't my fault because I was wasting

oxygen on the planet. When I met my husband and I started learning about our work and looking at, looking at mental health through that lens of the four circles, because I had cancer, I had all these things that happened in my life besides the trauma growing up that just devastated me and it all crashed in at one time. When I really understood those four circles, the biology, the psychology, the social circle, the spiritual circle, and I realized how bankrupt I'd become in all of them. It's like four tires on a car. If one goes flat, the car will drive for a while, not well, but it'll drive. If two go flat, you're probably going to crash, and I had crashed.

I had four tires that went flat. The car kind of flipped. When I looked at it through those circles, when I met my husband, I started to really look at it. I'm a neurosurgical ICU nurse, so for me, it was all biology. It was just like, get this person, you know, stop bleeding. But when I really started to understand this, I was like, it was so freeing for me.

It released the shame. And if I could tell people watching one thing if you're struggling with this right now, I wanted to be dead. And I'm not, it's the worst time in my life. It was a pain like nothing I've ever experienced. I wanted to rip my skin off only I couldn't, couldn't get away from the pain. It's not like a toothache where you can take a pill.

It's something you can't escape. But what I couldn't know then that I know now is that that pain, all of that pain, all of that shame, all of everything I felt back then, there's no way I could is that that pain, all of that pain, all of that shame, all of everything I've felt back then, there's no way I could know that that would be the thing going forward that would become my purpose in life. So please just hang on, get help, reach out. And one of the things you talk about in the book is about pain into purpose, which is just so important. And another thing I think that was really critical is learning how to not believe every stupid thing.

Discipline. You're a monk. You know this. Discipline. Disciplining your mind is so important. So whenever you're sad or whenever you're mad or whenever you're nervous or out of control, write down what you're thinking. And then just ask yourself, is it true? I love it. I don't have to believe every stupid thing you think. How many of your listeners were good at talking back to their parents when they were teenagers. I was

excellent and my mom will totally verify that I was a pain when I was a teenager, but no one ever taught me to talk back to myself that thoughts are not real, right? It's sort of like the weather. It comes, it goes. It's not the thoughts you have that cause suffering. It's the thoughts you attach to. It's the ones you let stick around. And so, yes, gets your brain right, but then you have to program properly. And where you bring your attention always determines how you feel. And so learning how to focus your mind

on what's helpful rather than what's hurtful. And during the pandemic, 10 accident did really well. I mean, she's an ICU nurse, but when the societal disruption came, she sort of lost her mind a little bit. Because it was like my child. And it was the most important thing she did was turn off the news Because when she watched the news she'd start screaming at the TV and

It wasn't helpful for her and you know Jay the news is actually not the news anymore The news is about driving clicks and And what does the brain pay attention to first fear? Negativity. Negativity. And that's what they're doing. They're driving that, which is increasing the incidence of mental illness. And in the end of mental illness, I have a writing device where I just imagined if I was an evil ruler and I wanted to create mental illness around the world, what would I do? I'd create our new system. I'd create our phone system.

I want to hear from you how you have the courage to, you know, you just shared earlier, you know, like the tip of the iceberg of some of the trauma and the challenges that you've been through in life and I look forward to really going deeper to you. But how did you have the courage to face that scared child or to reconnect with that scared child? Because I feel like for so many people, it's so much easier to try and forget or get away and it's so much easier to try and hope that no one ever knows that happened and we

kind of ignore it or suppress it. How do you, how do you really confront that? It was actually an epiphany. It wasn't necessarily my choice, I suppose you would say. Again, I'm nudged just to do a lot of things by my partner sitting next to me. But I was the queen of building the facade, the wall, making people think I had it all together. And inside I wasn't.

I was feeling pretty broken. But I finally started the journey of healing, but I didn't realize how judgmental I was. I didn't realize how much I still was disconnected from my past. Even though I felt like I was personally starting to heal some of the brokenness, that was still a big issue.

I was disconnected, didn't wanna get involved with people from my past. And I was very judgmental and didn't even realize it. And I started to do a program at the Salvation Army with some of the, some people with addiction, one of the largest inpatient addiction treatment centers that they have. It was 186 beds. I was asked to help transform their food. And so I thought, yeah, I can deal with the menu. And then she said, no, I want you to work with the people. And I'm like, no, I can't work with the people. And I started wrestling

with this. And Daniel's like, why can't you do this, honey? And I'm like, God just called the wrong person this time. I'm sorry. I can't do this. And he looked at me. And he said, God called the perfect person. And I was stunned and I started to cry and I realized in that moment how judgmental I was. And I'm standing on stage and I don't like these people. I just don't like them. But I've done a lot of work with Byron Katie and at that point and really some work on myself about Judge your neighbor and I really, it's really powerful. And all of a sudden it struck me that I was judging them, that I was literally looking down from a stage, athletes, people, and they were seen exactly what I wanted them to see. This perfect facade, they weren't seeing me, they weren't seeing

the truth. And it just was a moment that that mask was stripped away. And I felt the supefany, that if I could help one person in that room, that would be one less scared child in the world. If I could, one less little girl that felt like an afterthought, one less little boy that felt like he had to hide because it felt safer. And it just struck me that at one point in our lives, we were all the same. At one point, we were just all scared children.

And I don't know why some turned right and some turned left. That's above my pay grade. All I know is that if I could help one person think differently, think differently at that proverbial fork in the road, it might change the next generation. And the stories of transformation or spectacular of the people that she helped. Is the most powerful work I ever did.

Being, so another lesson, is being authentic, telling your story, not having to be perfect, connects you way more than having a perfect façade. And pain shared is pain divided. And right now during this time when people are feeling isolated, this is so perfect. I mean, people are using social media in a positive way. I mean, we all know it's got negative effects, but it can be used as this tool because pain shared is pain divided. And I'm, you know, building that wall, keeping that facade up, that's just like a boil building up. I hate I'm a nurse. Unfortunately, I use these gross, you know,

examples, but it's like this boil building up pressure. And once you lance it and let all that ugliness out, it has the opportunity to heal. And when you share your pain with someone else, suddenly you don't feel the shame. It's like it's this burden is shared. And we can handle it. I'm Jay Shetty and on my podcast on purpose, I've had the honor to sit down with some of the most incredible hearts and minds on the planet. Oprah, everything that has happened to you can also be a strength builder for you if you allow it. Kobe Bryant.

The results don't really matter. It's the figuring out that matters. Kevin Haw. It's not about us as a generation at this point. It's about us trying our best to create change. Luron's Hamilton. That's for me being taken that moment for yourself each day, being kind to yourself because I think for a long time I wasn't kind to myself.

And many, many more. If you're attached to knowing, you don't have a capacity to learn. On this podcast, you get to hear the raw real-life stories behind their journeys and the tools they used, the books they read, and the people that made a difference in their lives so that they can make a difference in hours. Listen to on purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Join the journey soon. I'm Dr. Romani and I am back with season two of my podcast Navigating Narcissism. Narcissists are everywhere and their toxic behavior and words can cause serious harm to your mental health. In our first season, we heard from Eileen Charlotte, who was loved by the Tinder swindler.

The worst part is that he can only be guilty for stealing the money from me, but he cannot be guilty for the mental part he did. And that's even way worse than the money he took. But I am here to help. As a licensed psychologist and survivor of narcissistic abuse myself, I know how to identify the narcissists in your life. Each week, you will hear stories from survivors who have navigated through toxic relationships, gaslighting, love bombing, and the process of their healing from these relationships.

Listen to navigating narcissism on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our 20s are saying is this golden decade. Our time to be carefree, full in love, make mistakes, and decide what we want from our life. But what can psychology really teach us about this decade? I'm Gemma Speg, the host of the Psychology of Your 20s. Each week we take a deep dive into a unique aspect of our 20s. From career anxiety, mental health, heartbreak, money, friendships, and much more,

to explore the science and the psychology behind our experiences, incredible guests, fascinating topics, important science, and a bit of my own personal experience. Audrey, I honestly have no idea what's going on with my life. Join me as we explore what our 20s are really all about, from the good, the bad, and the ugly, and listen along as we uncover how everything is psychology, including our 20s. The psychology of your 20s hosted by me, Gemma Speg. Now streaming on the iHotRadio app, Apple podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. What is the one thing from both of you, this is our last question, what is the one thing that you think people need to do today in 2020? Because the level like you said, Dr. Raymond, you know, we went from 8 to 27 percent feeding depression, we were all thrown this curveball. It was completely unpredictable. It was completely, you know, unexplainable. Like no one saw this coming. Do we have the ability to evolve fast enough to deal with this stress and pressure that's coming our way? And what's the one thing that we can do to be ready and prepared for that? And I'd love to hear an answer from both of you. And wherever you'd like to go with that.

Well, that's why we survived this species because we can pivot. And those people that will thrive during this time will not wish for the good old days. But they'll do is they'll see what are the opportunities going forward. And during this time, they will love and take care of their brains because that's what's going to get you to not only survive, but thrive. So it's back to that one question. What I'm going to do today is it good for my brain or bad for it? So doing things that help you feel better fast like alcohol, marijuana, bad food, being sedentary, being addicted to the news, all of those things are going to hurt your brain. But taking a multiple vitamin, omega-3 fatty acids, optimizing your vitamin D level, getting out in the sun if you can, exercising, learning how to not believe ever stupid thing you think.

Those things are great for your brain. So back to, is this good for my brain or bad for it? We'll help you not only survive, but it will help you thrive doing this historic time. I like that. So one thing that really, because this has been a stressful time, we've got teenagers in the house like everybody else, it's just it's stressful. So what helps me is looking at things from a 30,000 foot perspective. So if I step back, I step out of the picture, take myself out of it and look at it from a distance or like you're watching a movie. And then for me, it's like, what part of this is important,

what part of it is not, who has our best interest, who does not, and then I ask myself, what can I control? Focus on the things I can control, not the things I can't, because so much of it we can't. We can't control what people are saying on the news and the negativity. We just can't control that. But we can control our thinking. And I notice that when I go in the backyard in the morning, walk through my grass with bare feet and watch the hummingbirds

with green tea in my hand, nothing is wrong in the world. It's not until I come back in the house and start watching the news and listening to what's happening in the world that it all sounds like doom and gloom. So I focus on what I can control. And I always go back to those four circles and I really practice it. Nutrition, diet, meditation, prayer. You know, for me, I have to do all connection. I have to do all of it. I'm not a person you can do one thing.

It's amazing. Thank you so much, both of you for doing this. If you want more information, please please please go and grab the books. End of Mental Owners. You can see one of the other books.
