All-In: Internal Structure

Good morning my friend. I hope you're doing well. I am so excited to be speaking with you today. It is, what day is it, 11th of August 2023. I'm Dr. Lee

Warren here on the Dr. Lee Warren podcast and we're coming in almost to the middle of all in August. Listen, I'm not sure exactly what happened but we

had almost a hundred people sign up for becoming subscribers to my Substack

newsletter, Self Brain Surgery with Dr. Lee Warren. Welcome aboard if this is

your first time here in the podcast.

Since my book came out three weeks ago, we've had several hundred, over 500 new

subscribers and lots of people are coming on board.

So if you're new around here, I want to give you just a quick little introduction to the podcast, just in case this is the first time you've ever heard

this.

I am a brain surgeon. I also write books and podcasts and do all kinds of things like that, but I'm a

surgeon, a neurosurgeon at my core.

And the thing that you have to know about that is that as a neurosurgeon I have the ability and the license the legal right,

To change your mind if you have something going on with your head if you've gotten a head injury or a brain tumor or something

Like that I'm to go in there. I'm allowed to go in there and change your mind

I can remove part of your brain if it's injured I can remove a blood clot or repair a skull fracture or doing do something to change the way your brain works

But here's the secret. Here's the thing that surgeons don't often talk about. I.

Can't make new brain cells for you, okay? If you've blown up some of your brain, if

you hit your head or had something happen to you or have an infection that

removes or destroys tissue, I can't make new brain cells for you. Your creator can

do that, but I can't do it. I can at best only try to improve the environment for

the brain cells that are already there to work a little more efficiently. At

At best, I can remove pressure, I can take the situation and try to make it a little

bit healthier, but I can't actually make your brain better.

I can de-stress it.

I can't make new brain cells for you. So here's the secret.

You are already better than I am at your own brain surgery.

That sounds funny to say, but it's true. We know from neuroscience, we know from the fact that you make new neurons every night.

We know, according to Hebb's laws, that neurons that fire together, wire together,

that when you change the things that you think about, you change the experiences,

the feelings, the thoughts and the behaviors that you have.

Those four things together can create new synaptic pathways in your brain.

And every day you have the ability, every second of your life, friend,

you have the ability to change how your brain works and improve the way it has been and,

Make things better and here's the secret and this is what all in August is all about,

Okay, the secret is that what got you here won't get you there,

If you are looking for some change in your life If you have gone through some massive things from trauma or tragedy or other big hard thing and you're having a hard time,

Finding your way back or even if you haven't found that had that massive thing happen to you yet.

Even if your life's been pretty okay, but you just feel stuck and you just can't

quite get there to where you feel like God's calling you or where you feel like

you're supposed to be. If you feel like you're supposed to be making progress

and you just can't do it and you're stuck in the same habits or the same,

things, the same thought loops, the same issues, the same relationships, and you

just can't break through, then I'm telling you, friend, the problem is that

what got you here won't get you there.

You can change your mind and that will help you change your life. And that is what we call self brain surgery.

So it sounds silly. It sounds like some motivational speaker thing, but it's not on the other hand as a scientist

I am also a man of faith and I believe that you were created.

Fearfully and wonderfully and that this incredible design of your mind and brain and how they interface with one another is the

communication center for how the Holy Spirit of the living God communicates

with you and if you're not a believer that might sound crazy but I would just

say hey trust me for a second and say this guy is 54 year old gray headed

blonde headed neurosurgeon left-handed kid from Broken Bow Oklahoma who grew up

to become a brain surgeon just give me the benefit of the doubt to tell you

this I'm not crazy okay I have seen and experienced things in medicine that,

can't be explained without divine intervention and you probably have too so don't write it off and say this is just motivational speaking or that it's

just optimism or any of those things there are some things that you can learn

if you can connect your neuroscience and your life and your thinking and your

faith all together, if you can smash them together, as Lisa's going to tell us in a

minute, then you can do something amazing. Because you've figured out that what got

you here won't get you there. And it's all in August, and we're gonna try to get

there this month. Because I'm always saying, look over my shoulder, my new book

is called Hope is the First Dose. And one of the definitions of somebody I read,

it said, hope is the belief that you can get there from here.

I'm just telling you friend. You've gotten to this place in your life wherever it is happy or sad.

Optimistic or pessimistic or faithless or faithful or hopeful or hopeless?

You've gotten here by a series of thoughts feelings experiences

Circumstances and interactions with other people and those things my friend will not get you to the next place,

There are some things that you have to change.

There are some things that you've got to make decisions about, there are some

internal structures that you've got to make changes to if you want to get there.

So All in August is about what do we do that took us from where we've gotten to

where we need to get to and how do we make that happen. And today we're going

to talk about for just a minute internal structure and how internal structures

are the secret to what we're really able to do with our lives. It turns out that

What your life is built on is where you can go from.

I had an interview yesterday on Fox News that I'm gonna tell you about in a minute,

and it got me thinking this morning about some things I've recently read

and some scripture that we need to talk about.

And we're gonna talk just for a minute about internal structure.

And I just don't want you to give up on yourself yet. If you're frustrated with how it has been going,

I want you to not give up on yourself.

There's a song we're gonna finish this episode with from a new band that Lisa found called The King Has Come,

The song is just called Yet, and it says, don't give up on me yet.

And I don't want you, friend, to give up on yourself. I want you to remember the secret

to self-brain surgery is this.

You can't change your life until you change your mind. And the good news is you can start today.

Hey, are you ready to change your life? If the answer is yes, there's only one rule.

You have to change your mind first.

And my friend, there's a place where the neuroscience of how your mind works, smashes together with faith,

and everything starts to make sense.

That place is called Self Brain Surgery. You can learn it and it will help you become healthier,

feel better, and be happier.

And the good news is you can start today.

Thanks, Lisa. Hey, so glad to have you listening today. I'm Dr. Lee Warren and I live in Nebraska

in the United States of America with my incredible wife, Lisa,

my father-in-law, Tata, and the super pups, Harvey and Louis.

I'm a neurosurgeon and an author, and I'm here to help you harness neuroscience,

the power of your brain, faith, the power of your spirit, and good old common sense

to help you lead a healthier, better, happier life.

Listen, friend, you can't change your life until you change your mind,

and I'm here to help you learn the art of self-brain surgery to get it done.

If you like the show, please subscribe so you never miss an episode,

and tell your friends about it.

If you tell two or three friends this podcast was helpful to you,

imagine how much good we can all do around the world together.

I'm Dr. Lee Warren, and I'm here to help you change your mind so you can change your life. Let's get after it.

Thanks, Lisa. Listen, friend, I'm just gonna spend a minute with you today.

Got something exciting to talk about and it's been bouncing around in my head.

Since I read this book called mind shift mind shift can you see that in the

camera mind shift by Erwin Raphael McManus is coming out in October he and I sat down day before yesterday I had a conversation and by the way we had an

amazing book signing yesterday at the gift box at Great Plains Health in North Platte thanks to Heidi and all the team that put that together and if you

You are one of the people that came out.

I had so many people come and tell me stories about loved ones that are battling cancer

or some bad diagnosis that they just got or some massive thing that they're going through.

And just know that we're praying for you. And if you're one of the new people around here, one of the new subscribers, the most

important resource I think that I can offer you, besides my new book, Hope is the First

Dose, is our prayer wall, wlemd.com slash prayer.

We've got this unbelievable community of people from all around the world who are sharing

their concerns and praying for each other.

And if you put a prayer request on there, you can do it anonymously or you can put

your name or you can even just put it privately where only me and Lisa and Tata

will see it. But if you put a prayer request out there, you're going to get an

email every time somebody prays for you.

So it's really encouraging if you're feeling alone, you're feeling stuck and you

don't know if anybody cares.

You put that prayer request out there and I guarantee you there's going to be people

from all over the world that you'll email you.

One little housekeeping note, when you get the email that says someone prayed for you.

You don't have to respond to that email.

It's an automated system-generated email that when somebody says that they prayed for your

prayer request, you'll get an email, but the email replies come back to us, and so we get,

Sometimes hundreds of them a day, people saying, thanks for praying. And that's amazing.

But I can't respond to each of those. You won't get a reply to your reply if you say, hey, thanks for praying for me

because it's a system generated thing.

So it's just a little bit of a housekeeping measure. I don't want you to be waiting for a response.

We generally try to respond to every email that we get from people in every comment that you leave.

It's getting a little bit harder as the volume of those has gotten higher.

But I just want you to know that we do try to respond. If you write to me at Lee at DrLeeWarren.com and you've got something on your mind, we

try to write back to every one of those people that write in.

We value that connection. This is a community.

Okay? It's not me just sitting here podcasting to you and writing books to you behind some wall

somewhere. We're connected to you, and we care about you, and we try to respond to all those emails.

But the system-generated replies to your prayers, I just can't respond to all of those, okay?

So just know that you're being prayed for and people love you.

OK, so thanks again to Heidi and the folks at the gift box. And we're praying for all of those folks

that shared with us yesterday and we're grateful that you came out.

The other thing is I had a conversation with Erwin McManus two days ago and I'm going to release that in October closer to his book launch because I want

to support this new book, Mind Shift, because it's so important.

But in the conversation, we talked about something that he calls internal structure.

He calls himself a mind architect.

He's a writer of books and a pastor and a speaker and all of that But he's also what he calls a mind architect and what he means by that is he helps people he consults and coaches people around

the world to change the internal structure of how they think.

Okay, and that's an important concept that I've been chewing on He tells a story in the first part of the book about a guy named Buster Douglas.

Buster Douglas if you're a boxing fan, I've never been a real boxing fan But when I was growing up, Mike Tyson was so famous because he just beat everybody.

Nobody could stay in the ring with Tyson. Some of his fights were seconds long.

He'd have a anticipated fight that was coming up for months, and he'd knock the

guy out in 12 seconds and it was over.

And all the people that bought pay-per-view for hundreds of dollars will be mad because they had these big parties and everything, and the

fight would be over in five seconds. And Tyson was just a monster in those days.

Buster Douglas, who was a nobody that nobody had ever heard of, came along and fought Tyson and knocked him out. The Buster Douglas went from being,

unknown basically to knocking out the greatest fighter in the history of boxing at the time and three heavyweight titles came his way. But here's what's

interesting about the Buster Douglas story.

The very first time that Buster Douglas defended his title, he fought a younger fighter named Evander Holyfield at the time and Buster Douglas got knocked out because he didn't train.

He was seen eating at McDonald's the day before the fight and McManus tells the whole story in here.

And I just want to make sure that I gave you the right info because I yeah, it was Evander Holyfield.

I was afraid for a second that I said the wrong fighter, but yeah,

So Evander Holyfield knocked him out And of course Evander Holyfield ended up beating Tyson later too and went on to become a champion himself,

but so Douglas was.

Basically became famous knocked out the champion did this thing one time?

He obviously trained and prepared to fight Tyson But then he lost his very first title defense and he went on to become obese

He's diabetic, nearly died from diabetic coma, weighed 400 pounds at one point in his life

and just disappeared, became irrelevant in the boxing world and never did anything of

great note again in his lifetime as a professional fighter, even though he had the greatest single

accomplishment of anybody up to that point.

So Erwin said a line that stuck with me. He was structured, Buster Douglas was structured for failure.

He wasn't structured for success. And that got me thinking about a scripture from Matthew 7.

Jesus told this story about building a house. Jesus said this, Matthew 7, 24 through 27.

You remember the little kid's song, the wise man built his house upon the rock.

Remember that? If you went to Sunday school when you were a little kid like I did, you know that song.

The wise man built his house upon the rock.

Remember? Jesus said it this way, everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them,

will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock and the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew

and beat on that house, but it did not fall,

because it had been founded on the rock.

And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man

who built his house on the sand and the rain fell and the floods came and the

winds blew and beat against that house.

You can hear the song and the house came tumbling down.

The winds blew and beat against that house and it fell and great was the fall of it.

That's what Jesus said. So think about Buster Douglas for a second, friend.

As everyone said, he was structured for failure. So you think about we talk a lot about goals.

We always talk about it at New Year's, New Year's resolutions and all that sort of thing.

And we talk about goals. And we have these New Year's plans for goals. But James Clear

in his newsletter, he writes a 321 newsletter that comes out every Thursday. Of course,

James Clear wrote that book, Atomic Habits. It's not a spiritual book, but it's a tremendous

perpetual bestseller because it's about habits and systems and how do we put our lives together,

how we structure ourselves for success, and a line that Clear talked about that he sent in his newsletter.

It's a great newsletter, by the way, 321 Thursday. Three ideas from him, two ideas from other writers, one question, and boom, that's it.

Quick newsletter.

I don't have the gift of writing like that. If you read my stuff, you're going to get a thousand words.

That's just how it is. It takes me a while to noodle out these ideas in my head.

But James Clear comes in hot with these ideas every week. And one of them last week stuck with me.

He said, goals will help you win once, but systems will help you win perpetually. Something like that.

I'm paraphrasing. Goals will help you win once, systems will help you win perpetually.

And that's exactly the point about Douglas here.

Buster Douglas had a goal of beating Mike Tyson, and he did it. He pulled it off.

But what happened next is what really tells the story, okay?

What happened next was what really tells the story. What happened next was he failed.

He didn't have a goal of becoming the greatest fighter that ever lived and staying there.

He had a goal of knocking out Mike Tyson, and he did it, and then he went back to McDonald's.

He started eating. He started stuffing his face and enjoying the fame and the money and not training and

getting out of shape and then his next fight he got beat and he disappeared.

Let me ask you a question, do you think, probably, some of us think...

If our circumstances were different we would be different Look in my eyes if you're watching the video,

You think that if your circumstances were different you would be different if he only had more money if he only got that promotion if he only,

Millions of people bought my book and I became a New York Times bestseller If only that happened then I would be happy,

Then I would finally be where I thought I was gonna be in my life,

If only she said yes, if only he didn't cheat if only the diagnosis hadn't been that if I can only get that promotion,

If and when I'm able to do this, then I'll be happy when I'm able to do that when she stops.

X Y & Z when my husband starts acting better when my husband finally gets off the couch and gets a job then I'll be happy Will you really?

The question isn't about if and then it's about your internal structure Because as Buster Douglas teaches us and as the man who built his house on the

sand teaches us, if you are not structured internally for success, you won't survive. You won't be happier. You won't be better. You'll just have more

money and more ability to make bad decisions. Okay? That's the sad truth, but

it is true. I'm reading this book. I actually just finished reading a book by

Bishop T.D. Jakes called Disruptive Thinking. This book's kind of messed my

brain up now it goes into some social stuff and not everybody will agree with

everything he says and all of that but the premise of the book is that if you

want to make real change not just in your own life but in society or in systems or a business or in your family or any of that you want to make real

change you've got to change the way you think which is lining up exactly with

what I'm talking about with cell brain surgery with what Erwin McManus is

talking about with mind shift and everybody's talking about cognitive neuroscience right now, but Jake's this book really is about if you want to

really change the world, you've got to be willing to disrupt systems that are in

place. And he's right. But one thing he talks about is this idea of leaping

over the fence. So he's got dogs like we do, and they have an electronic fence

like we do. And one of his dogs is real passive, like Louis, our dog. He's really.

Sick, by the way. Pray for Louis and Harvey if you're the kind of person that

prays about pets. But Louis and Harvey are sick. There's something going on with

them that can't figure it out anyway.

One of their dogs will basically accept the limitation of the electronic fence and just,

have their world defined by the smaller yard that's available to them from the electronic

fence. And one of their dogs wants to go outside the fence and has calculated that it's worth the

pain of getting shocked to run through the fence. They figured out, like Harvey, our other dog,

Harvey figured out a long time ago that if he really wants to go get that rabbit or chase that

coyote he'll run through that digital fence and it'll shock him and he'll

wince and welp but he'll keep running because he knows that system will stop

shocking him after a few seconds and he'll be free. He's done it a million times. We'll look on the map and he's broken through the digital fence. He's

out in the hayfield or out in the river somewhere and we got to go find him.

T.D. Jakes was just talking about the difference in these two dogs and one of

them accepts the limitation of the fence and one of them understands that it

might hurt to go through the fence, but there's a world of freedom out there and

other things that they can explore and it's worth it to them to accept the pain,

of breaking through that fence. I've seen the same behavior in Harvey and Lewis.

It turns out people will do the same thing. Some people are willing to jump

the fence, but the problem is what happens when you do jump the fence? What.

Happens when you finally get to that place that you've always thought you we're going to go to, you'll discover, yes, there are new opportunities out there.

Yes, you might have more money, more fame, more experience, more titles, more

degrees, more whatever you might you might actually, quote unquote, make it in this

new place. But guess what else you're going to find out there?

New threats, new problems, new storms, new people sniping at you because they want your new position.

Okay, if you find your way to this new place that you always thought was going to make you happy that you always dreamt of.

You're going to find that there's a whole new set of circumstances and challenges and issues and problems and all of that

but the one thing you also will find out is,

You're the same person you were before you jumped over that fence And if you don't have internal structures that are designed for success

you're gonna have a problem. If you didn't build your house on the rock.

You're gonna have a problem. Sometimes the fence comes to you, okay? Sometimes

you go through the massive thing. You get the phone call like we did almost 10

years ago and you find out your son died.

Or you find out your spouse has become unfaithful, you find out your business

went bankrupt and the market went south and you're not going to be able to retire

like you thought you were.

You got a diagnosis and your and your husband can't swallow or chew or can't

move their arm anymore. And you're going to have to take care of them instead of growing old with them.

Yeah, I'm talking to you. I've got a friend who's going through that right now.

What do you do then if your house is built, friend, on the sand of another person

being healthy, or on the sand of you having to get a promotion to be happier, on the sand

of your health holding up, on the sand of your finances holding up.

If your house is built, if your internal structure is built on circumstances that can be challenged

or changed when the storm comes, then you're in trouble.

I had an interview yesterday with Lauren Green, she's a long-time Fox News host and has a podcast with Fox.

Back in 2020, when we released my previous book, I've seen the interview, which you

should read, by the way, if you haven't, but I've seen the interview came out in

October and January of 2020, and we were in New York City, Lisa and I, for the launch,

and we were on Lauren Green's show at the Fox News headquarters.

It was a really cool experience for me and Lisa.

But Lauren and I yesterday talked on the phone, another interview for my new book, Hope is

the First Dose, and she asked me a question.

She told me a story of a friend of hers who had a major challenge and lost a child and just went crash.

Her house came tumbling down and she turned basically her faith off.

She decided that she couldn't believe in a God who would allow these things to happen in her life.

And friend, I'm saying that to you to say this, there's going to be some things that

come along and challenge you.

There's going to be some massive things that occur and you're going to struggle if your

house is built on the circumstances that you thought you knew.

If you had a set of beliefs and you thought that you had to have them to be happy, then

when you no longer have them, you won't be happy.

That's a shifting sand. Okay.

So I'm saying that all in the context of saying this, if you have an internal structure that's

It's designed to succeed regardless of what happens to you.

If you have a system instead of a goal, if you're Buster Douglas and you're training

to fight Mike Tyson and your goal is to beat him, then once that's over and you've finally

done that thing, you're not set up internally for continued and perpetual success, then

what happens next?

You've jumped the fence, you've gotten the title, you've gotten the fame and the money

and the fortune and all those things that come along with that.

What happens next will determine the rest of your life if you're happy or healthy or whole or not.

Let me ask you a question. Can you name the last five Heisman Trophy winners?

Can you name the last two Heisman Trophy winners? Can you name the last five or two or one?

Oscar winners for best picture or best actor or best actress or best sound design. Can you name the last?

Five presidents of France or Prime Ministers of Great Britain or presidents of the United States. You might not be able to

Most of us think that we're pretty up on our civics, but can you right now without looking it up?

Can you name the last five presidents of the United States? Can you name the last ten in order?

Why am I asking you that? These are people who have accomplished the number one top thing that they can accomplish.

Can you name the last five hundred meter gold medal Olympians for this gold medal for the hundred meter sprint? Can you name them?

You probably can't why because that kind of fame Doesn't register with the world for very long,

Okay, you think it's the number one accomplishment that you could have in your entire life

Whatever this thing is that you've set your heart on

That fence that you're gonna jump to get there to finally knock out Mike Tyson or whatever

You think that's the biggest thing that could ever happen to you and it probably will be it might be

But you still have a life beyond that event and nobody,

remembers that fight if you win.

But they remember if you're Tom Brady, they remember the seven Super Bowls.

OK, 100 years from now, people that follow football will remember that Tom Brady was

probably the greatest quarterback that ever lived. Why? Because he didn't just win one Super Bowl.

He kept winning. He structured his internal life to pursue the goal of being the best at that

position that ever lived and ever played. That didn't necessarily translate in being the best

person that ever lived, but in that genre, in that place, at that time, he was the best,

and he has been over the sustained course of many years.

Okay, but let me just tell you this. I don't know Tom Brady from Adam, but I do know this.

He's retired from football now.

So the real question of Tom Brady's life, the story that his life tells, and whether

he turns out to have had a fulfilling and good life or not, will be how he's built his

Internal structure to be a human being after he plays football because the guy's not very old

He just retired from the NFL. He's in his early 40s and Lord willing. He'll have another 40 or 50 years to live What happens next?

Will be based on his internal structure because he's phenomenally wealthy He won't lack for money unless he's a moron. He should never run out of money. So it won't be about money,

Will it be about relationships will be about family will be about faith,

What will it look like for him, and how is he structured internally to succeed or fail?

And that's the question for you.

What are your internal structures? And are you a wise person or a foolish person?

Because as I talked with about Lauren Graham, she asked me, how do you keep from losing

everything? How do you keep from being one of those crashers that you talk about in your book when something bad happens?

And the answer is, as Erwin McManus and I talked about.

It's about internal structure. I'm a really good brain surgeon, okay?

I can go in and I can remove your brain tumor and many times, most of the time,

I can do so with leaving you relatively neurologically okay.

But I can't make a new brain for you, and I can't make your brain perform better than it did before you had the brain tumor.

I can just remove the tumor and its influence and leave your brain to how it was, at best, right?

Even worse because sometimes surgery creates new issues for people Okay, but the bottom line is this friend look at my eyes my dad

I would always say look at my eyes look at my eyes when he wanted to make a point that he wanted me to remember

Really listen to you and here's the point if your internal structure.

Isn't right if it's not built on something solid if you haven't built your life on something

That can't be taken from you if it's not tied to circumstance if it's tied to circumstances

You can't be happy no matter what happens. You can't be healthy. No matter what happens. You can't be better

No matter what happens because you're still gonna be you once you jump that fence,

And I just want you to remember here in all in August as we wrap this up Don't give up on yourself because you're a work in progress and what got you here to this day,

Listening to this podcast asking yourself these questions. Am I structured for success or am I structured for failure?

And my structure to get better and my structure to have circumstances wipe me out because these massive things friend. They're coming,

Okay, they're coming and you've got to be ready for them. My my plea to you friend is this,

Build your life in such a way that when the massive thing happens you will have a treatment plan in place and you'll be ready to hold on to the things that you know to be true and,

And you won't fall into that pit of despair because you'll be able to move forward according to the treatment plan that you've prepared for yourself because you've learned how to be a good brain surgeon for yourself.

Okay, that's what I wanted to talk to you about today. There's so much more the Irwin McManus conversation has so much more depth and meat

To it and I can't wait to share it with you. I want you to read hope is the first dose if you haven't read it,

It's the treatment plan It's how you structure yourself internally to prepare for these successes and not let circumstances wipe you out when the massive things happen

Okay, that's what we're all about. We're gonna play this song yet from the king will come and it's just this idea

Don't give up on me yet. God. I'm trying here and he's not going to,

Lisa and I saw a post on Instagram the other day and this is something if you're struggling with a sense of guilt or shame over something you've done or you feel like God's gonna give

Up on you because you've been trying and trying and you just can't quite get it done

And how many times is he gonna forgive me?

Know this Jesus went to the cross Okay

and he stretched out his hands and let them beat him and mock him and put a crown of thorns on his head and drive nails

into his hands and feet and pierced his side and all the while while they were

doing that to him while you and I were doing that to him because he was there

because of our sin all the while what's the last thing he said father forgive

them they don't know what they're doing and if he didn't give up on you that day,

he's not gonna give up on you this day if he didn't give up on you when your
