Switching Things Up (S12E54)

In this episode of the Self Brain Surgery Podcast, Dr. Lee Warren discusses the power of metacognition and how rewiring your brain starts with thinking about rewiring your brain. He introduces the 'patchbay' concept to illustrate how you can direct your thoughts to make structural changes in your brain.

The episode delves into the scientific basis of neuroplasticity and how microtubules in the brain respond to our thoughts and intentions. Dr. Warren emphasizes the importance of examining our thoughts ('thought biopsy') to replace negative and untrue thinking with positive and constructive thoughts.

He discusses the significance of the ten commandments of self-brain surgery for healthy neural changes and offers practical advice for achieving personal growth and overcoming mental barriers.
