Hi I'm Tana
Tana Amen, BSN, RN is a fierce and compassionate health warrior whose life’s work is rooted in healing—of the body, brain, and soul. As a New York Times bestselling author, neurosurgical ICU nurse, and creator of multiple transformational nutrition and wellness programs, Tana brings a rare blend of grit, grace, and scientific savvy to everything she touches.
Her powerful memoir, The Relentless Courage of a Scared Child, reveals the raw truth of her early trauma, survival, and spiritual grit, and how those experiences became the foundation for her unwavering mission to help others reclaim their lives. That same courage pulses through her wellness philosophy—one that’s deeply personal, research-backed, and spiritually informed.
Through books like The Omni Diet, The Brain Warrior’s Way, and a series of beloved cookbooks, Tana redefines what it means to eat for vitality. She champions a 70% plant-based, high-protein nutritional approach designed to fight inflammation, enhance brain function, and promote longevity. Her recipes and detox plans are more than healthy—they’re empowering, accessible, and laced with purpose.
Whether she’s guiding someone through a 10-day brain detox or helping a parent navigate ADHD-friendly meals, Tana meets people where they are—with both precision and heart. Her work is a lifeline for those struggling with chronic illness, mental health issues, or simply feeling stuck in bodies and lives they don’t recognize.
Above all, Tana is a teacher of radical ownership and resilience. She embodies what it means to turn pain into purpose, and has become a voice of truth, transformation, and unapologetic hope.
