Recently I’ve been reading a book that is part brain research and completely fun. As part of my work as a marriage and family junkie, I often study the differences between men’s and women’s brains and this book is an interesting addition to that study.
Dr. Earl Henslin has taken the dull and clinical and made it really fun and informative. Dr. Henslin has studied brain chemistry for some time, and along with his friend and mentor Dr. Daniel G. Amen, they have taken a sometimes perplexing and sad subject and made it into one that offers hope and joy for those who read this work and take its suggestions and regimens to heart.
Dr. Henslin first shows the SPECT (single photon emission computerized tomography) scans of a number of types of disorders and imbalances. They graphically illustrate that these disorders are plainly present in people and he shares the symptoms that commonly accompany each major category of imbalance.
The best part of this book is that Dr. Henslin offers some real and tangible hope for those people that have these disorders. Those that demonstrate the accompanying behaviors can now receive some real and productive change and relief and hope for the future.
Dr. Henslin examines the 5 mood centers of the brain in this work and for each disorder that is presented, he offers suggestions for supplements and medications, mood balancing foods, music and cinematherapy suggestions, exercise programs, scriptures, prayers and much more.
Dr. Henslin also offers a Brain System Checklist that can help identify the disorders that people might be suffering from. You might need to have a full SPECT scan to confirm some of the underlying disorders that cause the behaviors that plague you, but this checklist is a handy screening tool.
This is a fun and hopeful book and I highly recommend it for your reading and research.
