The Trauma You Inherited Isn't Yours — But You Can Break It | Mark Wolynn
What if some of the anxiety, fear, relationship patterns, or emotional pain you struggle with didn't begin with you? In this powerful conversation, Mark Wolynn, author of It Didn't Start With You, joins Dr. Daniel Amen & Tana to explore one of the most important questions in mental health: How much of what we carry was inherited from the generations before us? They unpack the hidden patterns that can travel through families — from unresolved grief and fear to attachment wounds, chronic stress, and behaviors we repeat without understanding why. Mark Wolynn shares how identifying the stories and emotional patterns passed down through our family can become a doorway to healing. Dr. Daniel Amen brings a brain-health perspective to the conversation, exploring how our experiences can shape the brain and influence the way we think, feel, and behave. This isn't about blaming your parents. It's about understanding yourself. Because when you recognize where a pattern came from, you may finally have the power to stop repeating it. You didn't choose everything you inherited. But you can choose what happens next.

Your Brain's Silent War: Dr. David Perlmutter on the Immune Cells That Make or Break Your Mind
For decades, medicine has treated memory loss, brain fog, and neurodegenerative disease as inevitable — but what if the real battle is happening at the cellular level, inside your brain's own immune system? In this episode, six-time New York Times bestselling author and neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter joins Dr. Amen & Tana to unpack the findings from his groundbreaking new book, Brain Defenders. We explore microglia — the brain's immune cells that can act as either warriors of protection or agents of destruction, depending on how we live. Dr. Perlmutter breaks down the overlooked role of inflammation in conditions ranging from dementia to long COVID and lays out practical, evidence-based strategies to counter threats such as poor diet, environmental toxins, and lack of restorative sleep. If you've ever wondered whether cognitive decline is truly inevitable — or whether you have more control over your brain's future than you think — this conversation will change how you think about aging, disease, and prevention.
