Dr. Lee Warren on Self-Brain Surgery: Renewing the Mind with Faith and Neuroscience

Описание: Can You Really Change Your Brain by Changing Your Thoughts?

Neurosurgeon, Iraq War vet, and author Dr. Lee Warren shows Curtis Chang how to perform “self brain surgery”—no scalpel, just the brutal truth: your automatic thoughts are rewiring your brain every day, and a lot of them are lying to you. Curtis and Lee dig into neuroplasticity, why you keep looping the same stress scripts, how gratitude can hijack anxiety, and they connect the dots between brain science and faith as represented in Philippians 4 and Romans 12. If you’re stuck in anxiety, trauma, or toxic patterns, this episode could be a wake-up call—and a way forward.
