We want kids to know that they can change their brains, and they can do it in a way that's fun and engaging. That's really the message we want to get out there. - Colonel Jill Chambers
Ever thought about how important brain health is for kids? In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, country music star Michael Peterson and his wife, retired army colonel Jill Chambers, share their passion for teaching kids about brain health. They sit down with Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen to discuss their unique programs designed to educate schoolchildren on the importance of taking care of their brains and bodies.
Michael and Jill's mission stems from their own transformative journeys toward better brain health, which they now aim to pass on to the younger generation. Their efforts began in the mid-2000s with a grant to deliver brain health programs in high schools in Huntsville, Alabama, and have since expanded to schools across the country. Through engaging content and relatable stories, they help students understand how their choices impact their brain health.
The episode dives into Michael and Jill's personal experiences with adversity and how sports played a crucial role in building their self-esteem. Jill opens up about her struggles with dyslexia and the strategies she developed to overcome it, while Michael shares his journey of coping with traumatic childhood events. They emphasize the significance of understanding childhood experiences and their effects on brain health, encouraging listeners to explore resources from Amen Clinics and BrainMD for better brain well-being.
Jill sums it up perfectly: 'We want kids to know that they can change their brains, and they can do it in a way that's fun and engaging'. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the importance of brain health education and the positive impact it can have on our future generations.
