You Start Today With Dr. Lee Warren | Weekly Prescriptions To Become Healthier, Feel Better, And Be Happier.

Are you tired of being so tired? Wondering why you keep trying to feel better but wind up feeling the same, or worse? Why the things you’re doing, the things the world says will help, don’t actually help? This episode looks at our recurring problem of treating big wounds with bandaids. We also talk about my #6 book I read in 2022, Eugene Peterson’s Run With the Horses. Scriptures: So, Jeremiah, if you’re worn out in this footrace with men,    what makes you think you can race against horses? Jeremiah 12:5, The Message If you falter in a time of trouble,    how small is your strength! Proverbs 24:10, NIV They offer superficial treatments    for my people’s mortal wound.They give assurances of peace    when there is no peace.

In this episode of Frontal Lobe Friday, I pivot from our customary format, aiming to present key ideas in a way that allows for contemplation on the go. I emphasize the significance of precision in language and thought, sharing a personal anecdote from the operating room that illustrates the difference between visualizing and merely seeing. This distinction is crucial for broadening our perception beyond a limited understanding. I connect these concepts with spiritual insights, highlighting how deep contemplation can enhance our mental health and well-being. To foster this transformative mindset, I introduce a practical tool: one question to guide our awareness in daily life. For the first time, we're splitting an episode into "thinking" and "doing" parts. This is the cognitive portion. For the deep dive, operating part, go to our YouTube channel!

Change how you read the Bible- and find more power, hope, and help than ever before. This episode will equip you to see how God’s words operate on multiple levels: poetic, practical, spiritual, neurological, and physical. When God says something, it's always true, all the way down. I had this epiphany while performing high-stakes surgery, and it has dramatically changed my level of hope and confidence. So come with me to the operating room, and see it for yourself through the lens of a neurosurgeon who uses scripture to steady myself in delicate brain surgery. We explore the idea that the Bible is layered like anatomy and functions like an MRI that reveals identity and purpose, connecting concepts like neuroplasticity to Romans 12:2 and gratitude to 1 Thessalonians 5:18. We walk through “consider the lilies” (Matthew 6:28–30) as metaphor, awe practice, and stress regulation, including effects on the default mode network, cortisol, inflammation, vagal tone, and decision-making. We also learn a prac

In this episode, I share my personal journey of grappling with grief and seeking redemption after the loss of my son, Mitch, over a decade ago. His memory not only brings sorrow but motivates me to transform that pain into purpose. Grieving is a shared human experience that connects us all, turning our tears into nourishment for growth and healing. We discuss biblical truths and explore the neuroscience of grief, emphasizing that our emotional struggles can lead to resilience and foster connections with others. By embracing vulnerability and sharing our stories, we cultivate empathy and create a healing community. Join me on this journey of confronting grief to ultimately cultivate joy and purpose in our lives.

In this episode, we explore the deeper narratives that influence our behaviors and choices, emphasizing that true transformation begins within our identities. We discuss the disconnect between intentions and actions and the importance of addressing underlying stories. We go into the neuroscience of thought processes and the concept of self-brain surgery to reshape our thinking. Key themes include the belief in our capacity for change and practical applications to disrupt negative cycles using affirmations.
