Consistency beats intensity. 🐢

At 102, French yoga teacher Charlotte Chopin proves that modest, consistent habits can trump flashy workouts.

Her four-decade-steady routine of simple postures, taught in a humble village studio, highlights joy in movement over optimization.

Beyond yoga, Chopin’s secret lies in strong social bonds, purposeful gatherings, and a grateful mindset—pillars that research links to longevity.

Journalist Danielle Friedman’s visit reveals why showing up matters more than perfection.

Her story challenges how we view aging and fitness.

Discover how small daily rituals can reshape fitness and aging.

I love Dr Amen’s initiative and leadership in brain health matters. As Amen Certified Brain Health Coach and Doctor of Natural Medicine, I’m ready to support local and online individuals and communities with brain health and holistic wellness programs. 🧠💪🏼🌿

Brain and mental health are not political issues—they are sacred human rights.

With the sponsorship of the White House Faith Office, I had the honor of presenting in the Roosevelt Room of the West Wing today to HHS Secretary Kennedy on the urgent need for a National Brain Health Revolution. We are at a crossroads:

• 25% of Americans are on psychiatric medications.
• Anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and addiction are at epidemic levels.
• More than 1 billion people worldwide are struggling with brain and mental health challenges (WHO).
• Su***de in young people has increased 746% since 2000.

But this crisis is also our greatest opportunity. If we shift the conversation—not from “mental illness,” but to brain health—we can transform how we care for ourselves, our families, and our communities.

1 in 2 Americans will face a mental health challenge in their lifetime. If it’s not you, it will be someone you love. Brain health does not discriminate. It affects every race, every religion, every political party. This is not a partisan issue. This is a human issue. A sacred issue. And it’s time to unite behind a bold vision: a future where brain health is the foundation of a healthier, stronger, more purposeful nation.

The revolution has already begun. Join us in making brain health America’s top priority—because when we get our brains right, everything else will follow. More to come. 🇺🇸

Pharmaceutical drugs aren't nutrients. The one are supposed to provide help in critical moments. The other replenish and sustain the body every day. Know what to rely on for long-term wellbeing.

It is nonsense
says reason
It is what it is
says love

It is calamity
says calculation
It is nothing but pain
says fear
It is hopeless
says insight
It is what it is
says love

It is ludicrous
says pride
It is foolish
says caution
It is impossible
says experience
It is what it is
says love
