How can we begin to untangle the thoughts and emotions that are keeping us stuck or pushing us toward unhealthy forms of coping? What does it look like to embrace the God-given agency we have over our minds?Dr. Lee Warren is a practicing neurosurgeon who has experienced the depths of grief and loss after losing his son, Mitch, years ago.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Eddie Chang, MD, a neurosurgeon and Chair of the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). We discuss the neural circuits underlying speech and language, including how the brain controls the larynx, vocal folds and articulators to shape breath into words. We also explore his pioneering work on speech neural prosthetics — brain-machine interfaces that allow paralyzed patients to communicate by decoding neural activity into speech and avatar-driven facial expressions. Additionally, we examine the neurobiology of stuttering, the role of auditory feedback in fluent speech, and the broader ethical questions surrounding brain augmentation technologies.

May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month, which the National Brain Tumor Society calls “a time dedicated to supporting, empowering, and amplifying the voice of the brain tumor community.” The NBTS estimates that more than 1.3 million Americans are living with a brain tumor and, while 73 percent of these are benign, an estimate 18,350 Americans will die of a brain tumor this year. In this Spotlight Replay, we revisit a conversation with Dr. Chester Griffiths, one of the founders of Pacific Neuroscience Institute and a pioneer in the minimally invasive brain surgery that has become one of PNI's hallmarks. Dr. Griffiths tells how he helps find the path through the brain to the tumor, helps the neurosurgeon remove the disease, and then leads their tiny instruments out again. Let's listen in!

In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Robert Spetzler, M.D., a world-renown neurosurgeon specializing in cerebrovascular disease and skull base tumors. He served as the J.N. Harber Chairman Emeritus of Neurological Surgery, and Director Emeritus, as well as President and CEO Emeritus, of the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. Under Dr. Spetzler's leadership, the Institute grew from a regional center to a global destination for the treatment, education, and research of neurological conditions. He is also emeritus chair of neurosurgery at the Phoenix campus of the University of Arizona College of Medicine. Dr. Spetzler was involved in pioneering the technique of hypothermia and cardiac arrest (‘cardiac standstill’) for the treatment of difficult brain lesions, which, as he explains, “has allowed us to treat patients who otherwise had absolutely no other option.” He performed more than 6,000 aneurysm surgeries during his career, treating some of the most complex cases in the world. Just over 100 of those patients underwent cardiac standstill. Dr. Spetzler’s desire to pursue a medical career, and to treat all—especially patients—with dignity, took root when he was age 5, when he had contracted tetanus from a rusty nail. Tetanus at the time was usually fatal. In the middle of the night his parents rushed him to the hospital, doing what they could to make sure he stayed awake on the way (to avoid falling into a tetany attack). At the hospital, he became one of the first people to receive a new drug, penicillin, which saved his life. Later, during a medical teaching presentation of his case, with the young Spetzler included in the presentation, the doctor failed to treat his young patient with even the slightest degree of dignity. Dr. Spetzler never forgot what that felt like and treating others, especially his patients, with dignity remained first and foremost the rest of his life, including in his practice and in his leadership. Honored many times by professional societies, including the American College of Surgeons and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, in 1994, Dr. Spetzler was chosen to be the Honored Guest of Congress of Neurological Surgeons. At age 49, he was the youngest recipient of this prestigious honor. Five years later, he received the Herbert Olivcrona Award (the “Nobel Prize of Neurosurgery”), among many other awards listed in his biography. Born in Stierhoefstetten, Germany, Dr. Spetzler moved with his family to the United States at the age of 11. He received his B.S. from Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, and his doctorate of medicine from Northwestern Medical School in Chicago. His postgraduate training was completed at Wesley Memorial Hospital, Northwestern in Chicago. He completed a residency in neurosurgery at the University of California, San Francisco. He received board certification in September 1979 from the American Board of Neurological Surgery. In 1983 Dr. Spetzler left his position as associate professor of neurosurgery at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland to assume a position as chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at Barrow Neurological Institute at Dignity Health St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix. He served as president and CEO of Barrow from 1986 to 2017. Also a prolific writer, Dr. Spetzler has published more than 300 articles and 180 book chapters and has co-edited multiple neurosurgical textbooks, including The Color Atlas of Microneurosurgery (2000).   LISTEN TO the radio broadcast live on iHeart Radio, or to “THE MENTORS RADIO” podcast any time, anywhere, on any podcast platform – subscribe here and don't miss an episode!

What does real leadership look like when everything falls apart? In this powerful episode of The ToosDay Crüe, hosts Jake Holland and Stephen LaMonica sit down with Omar Ritter, a West Point graduate, Bronze Star recipient, and former corporate executive who has led both soldiers in combat and billion-dollar operations in the financial world. From the battlefields of Iraq to boardrooms at major institutions, Omar's journey is one of resilience, transformation, and truth. But behind the success lies a story few talk about—surviving an 18-hour brain surgery, battling PTSD, and choosing to confront the realities of mental health head-on. Today, Omar is on a mission to redefine leadership—showing that strength is not about silence, but about authenticity, courage, and connection.

Seizures caused by epilepsy can have a dramatic impact on one's quality of life. For Nolan, his seizures cost him everyday independence, including the ability to drive. When he decided to have surgery, he chose awake brain surgery led by Dr. Edward Chang, a neurosurgeon at UCSF. During surgery, Nolan speaks and responds as the medical team carefully maps the language regions of his brain — guiding their treatment of him while protecting his ability to communicate. The result opens a path back toward the freedoms Nolan has been missing. [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 41414]

In this moving episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast with host Ginny Yurich, Dr. Lee Warren shares what a lifetime in neurosurgery, war, devastating loss, and deep faith has taught him about pain, hope, grief, resilience, and the real power of the mind to change the brain. This conversation goes far beyond medicine into the places a scalpel cannot reach like automatic thoughts, unanswered prayers, the fear that follows heartbreak, and the daily choice to love tomorrow more than we hate how we feel today. It is wise, tender, and unexpectedly practical, especially for parents trying to raise strong kids in an anxious world, and it will leave listeners with something we all need more of right now: a steadier way to face what hurts and keep living with courage.

What is it like to be a brain surgeon? How much of our personality is determined by brain structure? Do we truly have free will or is it an illusion created by neural processes? Will there ever be a cure for dementia? And could artificial intelligence replace neurosurgeons? In this episode of Good Is In The Details, hosts Gwendolyn Dolske, Ph.D., and Rudy Salo sit down with renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Theodore Schwartz, author of Gray Matters: A Biography of Brain Surgery, to explore the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy, medical ethics, and culture. Dr. Schwartz offers a rare, inside look at what it means to operate on the human brain: the organ that houses memory, identity, personality, and consciousness itself. From the evolution of brain surgery to cutting-edge research, he explains how the brain functions, how structure shapes behavior, and why understanding neuroplasticity is essential to both medicine and human development. The conversation moves into the philosophical debate of free will vs. determinism. If our thoughts, impulses, and decisions arise from neural circuitry, do we truly choose — or are we the product of biology? Is the "mind" something distinct from the brain, or is it an emergent property of physical processes? Drawing on pop culture references like Star Trek, Memento, and Gattaca, this episode connects neuroscience with questions long explored in philosophy and science fiction. The discussion also addresses: How brain injuries alter personality The future of dementia research The promise and limits of neuroplasticity Why AI is unlikely to replace human neurosurgeons What makes brain surgery uniquely human Dr. Schwartz explains why, despite advances in artificial intelligence, neurosurgery requires intuition, judgment, and embodied skill that cannot be automated. This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in: medical ethics neuroscience and consciousness the philosophy of mind free will and determinism dementia and brain health AI in medicine how identity is shaped by the brain The brain is the seat of personality, memory, and moral agency. Understanding how it functions challenges our assumptions about responsibility, autonomy, and what it means to be human. Through thoughtful dialogue, Good Is In The Details bridges philosophy and real-world expertise, offering listeners tools to think more deeply about science, ethics, and the nature of consciousness.

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.   Enter to win: Dr. Lee Warren Book Give Away Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter Register for the Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference   02:38 - How Do Thoughts Reshape the Brain? 07:39 - Personal Story: Grieving and Neuroplasticity 11:08 - Philippians 4 and Neuroscience 18:01 - Gratitude as a Brain Switch 21:51 - Neuroscience vs. Classic Therapy 31:03 - Building New Habits and Synaptic Pruning 32:28 - The "Self" in Self Brain Surgery and the Holy Spirit 44:07) - Wisdom to Know What Can and Cannot Change 52:34 - Epigenetics and Generational Influence 56:49 - Final Word: Hope and Agency   Mentioned In This Episode: Dr. Lee Warren's The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery Philippians 4:6–8 (ESV) Romans 12:1–2 (ESV) 2 Corinthians 10:5 (ESV) Romans 5:3–5 (ESV) Deuteronomy 5:9-10 (ESV) Summary: Study finds epigenetic changes in children of Holocaust survivors Chris Voss's Never Split the Difference The Original Serenity Prayer   More From Dr. Lee Warren: Listen: The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast Dr. Warren's website Dr. Warren's  No Place to Hide Dr. Warren's  Hope Is the First Dose Dr. Warren's  I've Seen the End of You   Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

We live in a moment where difficulty is quickly labeled as damage and discomfort is often treated as pathology. While trauma is real and serious, not every hard moment is trauma—and confusing the two can quietly undermine resilience, clarity, and growth. When every struggle is interpreted as injury, we lose the ability to endure, discern, and respond wisely. This week on Win Today, Dr. Lee Warren returns to continue our Self-Brain Surgery conversation. We talk about what it actually means to take a thought captive, why anxiety spirals feel uncontrollable even when they're not, and how automatic thinking patterns quietly shape the brain. Dr. Warren also challenges common scientific blind spots that ignore meaning, responsibility, and agency in the healing process. This episode helps you separate pain from pathology, suffering from trauma, and awareness from action—so you can move from mental reactivity to intentional renewal. Guest Bio Dr. W. Lee Warren is a practicing neurosurgeon, author, and speaker known for integrating neuroscience, faith, and personal experience to help people heal from trauma and transform their lives. A survivor of profound personal loss, he has spent decades studying how thoughts shape the brain and how intentional mental practices can lead to lasting emotional and spiritual renewal. He is the author of multiple books, including The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery.

What if most of your automatic thoughts aren't true—and your body pays the price when you believe them? We sit down with Dr. Lee Warren, W. Lee Warren, MD, is a neurosurgeon, an award-winning author, an Iraq War veteran, and the host of The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast. He teaches the art of connecting neuroscience, faith, and daily practices for leading a healthier, better, and happier life. www.DrLeeWarren.com The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery - https://www.netgalley.com/widget/897209/redeem/8bef54f4147ff6d63f2dfe6b94784e67155f495b79ab8b6190a88f48c82ddb68SELF-BRAIN SURGERY MIGHT JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE - https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5bd26c48b2cf79b5897a6c45/t/68b701504975283eb3c60afb/1756823889694/Press+Kit+-+The+Life+Changing+Art+of+Self-Brain+Surgery.pdfThrough a vivid fMRI moment and hard-won personal story, he shows how a single choice of thought can alter brain activity, shift physiology, and open a path out of anxiety, grief, and chronic stress.We unpack the difference between emotions and feelings, and why your heart racing can signal fear or excitement depending on the story you attach to it. Dr. Warren explains neuroplasticity in plain language—neurons that fire together wire together—and how rumination keeps cortisol high, sleep poor, and pain persistent. You'll learn his “thought biopsy” method to test whether a thought is true before letting it run your day, plus how to move decisions from the amygdala's fight-or-flight to the frontal lobes where wisdom lives. We also dig into patterns behind migraines and avoidance loops, and how reframing, gratitude, and scripture-backed replacements can transform relationships—starting with a powerful marriage turnaround story.If you've felt stuck, spiritually numb, or trapped by old patterns, this conversation offers a practical, hopeful plan: notice, pause, and rewire with truth. Dr. Warren shares three steps you can start today to separate mind from brain, reclaim agency, and build healthier defaults that feel like peace. His new book, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery, lands on February 3 with tools, stories, and science to help you renew your mind and restore your life.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a quick review so more people can find these tools.

We are more self-aware than ever, and yet many people feel more stuck, anxious, and exhausted than before. Therapy culture has helped us name pain, but it often leaves us circling it. Insight increases, language expands, but healing stalls. What if the very frameworks meant to help us are quietly blocking our ability to change? This week on Win Today, Dr. Lee Warren joins me for a conversation that bridges neuroscience, faith, and lived experience. As a practicing neurosurgeon and trauma survivor, Dr. Warren explains why the brain resists healing, how survival mode hijacks our thinking, and why compulsive rumination feels productive while actually reinforcing pain. We explore the science behind neuroplasticity and the spiritual responsibility we carry to participate in our own renewal. This episode doesn't dismiss therapy, but it challenges passivity. Healing requires more than awareness. It requires agency, discipline, and the courage to rewire patterns that no longer serve life. Guest Bio Dr. W.

Awake brain surgery sounds impossible—until you hear about musicians who play instruments while surgeons operate on their exposed brains. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro explore the true medical phenomenon of awake craniotomy, including the astonishing case of a professional violinist who played during brain tumor removal to protect the neural pathways that control her music. Then, things take a historical turn as we dive into the bizarre wellness craze known as the Grape Cure, once promoted as a treatment for cancer, tuberculosis, and nearly everything else—despite zero scientific evidence. From neuroscience and identity to medical quackery and human absurdity, this episode asks: How do you protect the part of yourself that makes you who you are? Learn more about your ad choices.
