Dr. Lee Warren
What if the secret to healing, hope, and higher performance isn't only about understanding our trauma or coping with our diagnoses, but is also about retraining our brains? Neurosurgeon and award-winning author Dr. Lee Warren integrates neuroscience and faith to help you find the life you were designed to live. This is where you get the training, tactics, and truth you need to change your mind and your life, and it's called self-brain surgery.
