They discuss the stigma surrounding stimulant medications and the differences between Adderall and Ritalin. Dr. Amen explains how brain scans can reveal the effects of past trauma and why the brain has a remarkable ability to heal. Melissa also shares the tools she’s exploring to support her brain health including hormone balancing, saffron for PMS relief, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy and how these insights have shaped a more mindful, intentional approach to her life and wellness.You can get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/MWH15 and using code MWH15 at checkout.Visit dreamrecovery.io and use the code MWH15 for 15% off. CODE: 250INF for $250 off Amen Clinics services at https://www.amenclinics.com/schedule-visit/Follow us on Instagram at @melissawoodtepperberg and @melissawoodhealthLimited Time Offer: Use code movewithheart when you sign up for a monthly membership to get your first month FREE on melissawoodhealth.com.
