0:00.0	It turns out our brains have never been designed to stay stuck and boss us around.
0:04.6	Our brains are designed to help us heal.
0:13.6	Welcome back.
0:14.7	Today I'm talking with Dr. Lee Warren, a neurosurgeon, and an author who's about to change how you think about your own mind.
0:21.4	If you've ever felt stuck in a thought pattern you couldn't break or wondered why you just
0:25.9	can't seem to get over something or question whether you really have the power to change your
0:30.5	life, this conversation is going to give you answers backed by both brain science and faith.
0:36.7	Those are my favorite things put together. I love this
0:39.5	conversation. We're diving into the neuroscience behind why your thoughts literally reshape your brain,
0:45.9	how high-performing women can break free from limiting patterns, what God designed your brain to
0:51.4	actually do, and yes, we're talking about social media, short form content,
0:56.4	and what it is doing to your brain without you even realizing it. Dr. Warren is going to show us
1:01.9	that we're not victims of our thoughts. We're not stuck in the brain we have, and we have far more

1:30.8	and what does that story reveal for the rest of us? Yeah, thanks, Sally. That's a great story.
1:35.6	And please call me Lee. We first names here today. Now, so the story is Leonid Rogazov was a Soviet general
1:42.4	surgeon who in 1961 was deployed to Antarctica as part of the 13th Soviet exploration of Antarctica.
1:50.1	And they were basically sent out to the middle of nowhere, the South Pole, and then the ship that brought them there leaves for the winter and the ocean freezes over.
1:59.1	And the 13 of them are going to be there until the spring when everything thaws out. There's no possibility of getting any help or getting back home that they're going to be there just the 13 of them. And he was the only doctor on the crew. And shortly after he got there, he started feeling sick himself. And he quickly realized he was running a fever, it was having abdominal pain, it had to be appendicitis.
