71. Change Your Thoughts to Change Your Life with Neurosurgeon, Veteran and Author Dr. Lee Warren
Dr. Lee Warren is a neurosurgeon, Iraq War Veteran, and author. In 2013, his son Mitch died. In this episode, Dr. Warren discusses his experiences with grief, faith, and the interplay between science and spirituality. He shares his journey of healing from PTSD and the importance of facing and unpacking emotional baggage.
Dr. Warren emphasizes the need to find purpose in our pain and not let it define us. He also explores the difference between our brains and minds, challenging the idea that we are limited by our genetics or brain chemistry. Instead, he encourages listeners to embrace the power of neuroplasticity and the ability to change our thoughts and beliefs. Dr. Lee Warren shares his concept of “self-brain surgery,” which gives us the power to change our thoughts and shares the impact the thoughts we think have on our brain and body. He explains the difference between our mind and brain and says that when we think differently, our brain changes how it acts. He also discusses the science of epigenetics, which shows that we control how our genes are switched on and off. By changing our thinking, we can switch certain genes on and off, leading to better responses to stress and trauma. Dr. Warren intersperses the conversation with his own journey of faith and healing.
