In summary, Gooby, a former neurosurgeon with 20 years of training and experience, left his career due to dissatisfaction and ethical concerns about the effectiveness of his work.
He discovered that lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and stress management were more crucial for patients' recovery than surgeries, which often did not address underlying issues.
Gooby struggled with the realization that the medical system was not set up to promote true healing, which led to ethical conflicts and a sense of being stuck in a job he no longer believed in.
With his wife's support, he decided to quit his job, despite having no clear plan for the future, to avoid continuing a life that was making him unhappy.
He started a YouTube channel to document his hikes and time spent with his dog, finding solace in nature and aiming to cherish the moments with his pet while exploring new possibilities for his life.

Hello! My name is Brady Swanson. You performed two spine surgeries on me nearly 10 years ago. I think I was one of your first patients! At the time I was living in so much pain, and I was young when you did the surgery on me. 20! Your kind words, and attentive nature always made me feel comfortable with going forward with the procedures. It was tough to make the call to get the surgeries, but I trusted you. You always showed me kindness and were there with me. I have gone on to recover from the surgeries, and the spine injury and have lived a very active and fulfilling live. Now 30, I've cycled across America, Taught Skiing in California, and New Zealand. I've become a schoolteacher, and have lived a very active life. Thank you for the kindness you showed me 10 years ago. Your videos have been so wonderful, and your voice sounded so familiar. I'm so happy for you. Always,
-Brady Swanson

I wish my hospital have lunch program to help with cholesterol, blood sugar, low salt—a culinary therapy. I wish my hospital allows me to use the equipment at the Physical Therapy center, issues with my joints, tendons, bones whatsoever can be successfully addressed. Medical centers would go bankrupted if my wishes came true. Yet in the Scandinavian countries Doctors do prescribe Spa and Resort stay to help a patient heals.
So I have been taking my health in my own hands—eat normally with many colored food that fit a dessert plate. I do hot yoga, pilate, sauna. I sleep until I wake up. I travel twice a year. I spend time with my sister and brothers regularly. I go out and enjoy lunch with my friends.
Thankfully, I still don’t have any chronic health issue. I only email my Doctor for annual blood works.
When I get to my 80th birthday, just a few more years, I will live in a place where there is no 911. Voilà! My way of escaping the tubes and knives in the hospital as well as their food😊

I left a career in project management and engineering from Tesla at 36 years old. I was burnt out from working 12 hrs days, 6 days per week. I had symptoms of chest pain, chronic indigestion, chronic back pain, poor sleep habits, depression...The list goes on. When I left that job I moved in with parents, I started eating healthy again. I started working out consistently. I started getting 6 hours of sleep, then 7, then 8. I started working on things that I enjoyed. It look me 12 months to heal, but thanks to my amazing parents, I am back on my feet and ready to be a productive member of society. This gentleman speaks is the truth. The power to heal is within yourself. In my case, I couldn't have done it without my parents love and encouragement. Thank you Mom and Dad, I have beyond lucky to have you in my life.

I watched your last video three times! I am a retired doctor, so I understand everything you say very well, and I very much agree with everything you say, and I also very much agree with your decision! What I want to tell you is to trust your own intuition, be brave enough to do what you want to do, and don’t be saddened by the influence of others! Live happily in the present, that is the most important thing! My son is a dentist. After working for three years, he quit his job as a dentist to do what he wanted to do. Originally, he thought I would be angry with him, but I told him that I was very happy that he could be brave. Go after what he wants to do! I support him very much and tell him that if he has financial difficulties, he should tell me at any time. I will always support him. As long as he is happy, I will be happy! After watching your video, I feel like you are my son. If you are sad, so am I! My child, you have to believe in yourself and follow your heart, not to mention you have a wife who supports you and loves you so much! And your dog needs your company too, doesn’t it? I bless you! God will bless you too! Because you are a good person and a good doctor!❤

Retired Psychiatrist here: From doctor to doctor, I empathized with you 100%. We would love to remove all suffering from our patients. Yes, sometimes, or mostly...we find ourselves in tough spots. In my case, Psychiatry has become Neuropharmacology, that´s it, plain and simple. It has become a multi billionaire industry of anti-depressants, anxiolytics and anti-psychotics, that disable the human brain (e.g. Ritalin). Fancy surgical techniques are peddled everywhere as panaceas, while many patients get worse. Big Pharma companies with cut-throat CEOs, do not care, but only about profit and revenues. Yes, medical schools, medical textbooks, medical research, etc. are being manipulated.
Thus, after 43 years of medical practice, I have become a holistic medicine believer.
Enjoy life dear doctor! You are very young and you have a good ethical personality.
Blessings! 🙂

I never (I mean, NEVER) comment on YouTube videos. I feel compelled to comment.
I am a visual artist. I'm 55 years old. A single mom.
It would seem on the surface that we're worlds apart. But, nope. I've been going through something similar...AS AN ARTIST!
I no longer believe in my work.
I've gained 50lbs.
I used to not sleep well.
My 3 children are ages 20, 25, 30.
I did raise my kids with giving my time as a priority and I have them time camping, hiking, exploring the outdoors. They all still embrace the outdoors and travel, which I feel is important.
My 30yo just moved (10 days ago) to finish her last year of her phd (clinicals).
I have a Civil Engineer son who also hikes the world. He's currently in Greece for 10 days with friends.
My 20yo is a college athlete majoring in Physics Engineering, has an internship and on a "great" trajectory. (He's also recording music and believes he'll be the next best rapper).
So, as a MOM, I wonder/hope they will travel well through life.
Yet, my daughter has been married and divorced. (I believe she's in a better personal place now).
My youngest is questioning his commitment to playing volleyball in college.
Also....NOBODY UNDERSTANDS why I have seemingly given up on my ART. How do I explain to them that I believe humans are meant to know they can problem-solve and , for me, art is problem-solving.
Yet, no longer feel driven to convince people of this.
All I want to do is be in the world experiencing things and offering my thoughts based on experience to others.
I don't really have the support you talk about, though. So I want to add to your data how important this connections are for good health amd happiness.
Thank you for simply speaking your mind.

I think Goobie's story powerfully reflects how futile the pursuit of pedigree and status really is. We often are quick to judge someone for their occupation and base their worth on material successes even though, on an individual level, all of that ceases to matter when it comes at the expense of our peace/wellbeing. Aren't we all just on a giant floating rock, living life day by day? Who cares what one does to be content as long as they aren't inflicting harm? None of us asked to be born, and literally, no one will take their degrees, fancy titles or luxury toys with them when the inevitable day comes, so why not just try to have a good time while we're here. We keep clinging to these labels (student, doctor, executive, etc) that we box ourselves into and then suffer needlessly when the labels are no longer organically adopted but externally prescribed. The extent to which Goobie's message has resonated with the world proves that collectively, we are moving towards being labelless and identifying ourselves with just being/existence in its most authentic form. This is not a crisis/nihilism but profoundly liberating -- there is no real cost to being true to yourself, but you pay the price every day when living in denial.

Because of this video, I took my sister to the beach and happened to meet an old gym buddy. He is competitive, so we raced about 4 or 5 times, and we tied each race, then went swimming and got a lot of sun.
I came home with my sister and ate green beans, peppers, chicken and a little of a potato and greek yogurt. None of this would have happened if you didn't encourage me to go outside and sweat and be happy. Today, I had the time of my life, for the first time in about a year, while sitting in my room for my remote job.
Sir, thank you. You made me feel better, and I'm grateful.

I was an operating room nurse and I've seen how miserable some of the doctors were. I tried so hard to help my patients with limited success. I continued to study every day to improve my practice. I advocated for my patients as best I could. I worked in a place where poor and over weight patients were looked down upon. After 8 years, I had a breakdown and slipped into psychosis, I now work as an ihss provider, but I've gained so much more perspective. Eat a healthy diet, please exercise, walk, meditate, listen to music, paint, write poetry, sleep well.

This is wonderful, calming, relaxing, and beautiful.
I lost my husband to cancer just before he was ready to retire, I was totally devastated. Devastated. That’s been six years ago. At first. I didn’t know what I was going to do because I was so lost. Not lost from God, but lost from my partner being absent .
Today I’m in a better place because I’m debt-free, I can do whatever I want when I want, I’m now retired and I enjoy my dogs and life. I’ll sit out on my back deck and I’ll watch the birds in the feeder and the birds taking a bath in the birdbath. I’ll listen to all the birds. I will play this type of music right here and to bring even more wonderful birds and just sit in my swing chair and enjoy it. I’m getting ready to travel.
While our two children were growing up, we enjoyed waverunners and times at the beach and the lake boat RV traveling all over our state and all over other states camping every weekend. Plus my husband and my son are musicians and my husband would coach basketball in football baseball as my kids played sports. Always on the go always something to do something to see. Can’t sit still. My husband did this all while he suffered severe outdoor allergies! Because he was determined to have good memories with his wife and children, so we all worked together and made like good.
Now I have no debt and I’m have no payments other than utilities and food and vehicle insurance and homeowners insurance which all come out of my Social Security and pension. And I’m ready to go and we were all going to do when my husband retired and that is travel and so I’m doing that in his memory also. I do have an adult son that’s here with me. He’s not married and has no children. But he’s an outstanding musician and it’s time for us to go and do what we were all going to do and we can all do now because my husband passed away from cancer, but we’re still gonna go out for the dream and enjoy life just as he would want us to😌
I play these types of videos that play nonstop for like eight hours. There’s some that I play to bring more birds into my backyard when I’m home in summer just for enjoyment that play in the background while I’m reading a book.
I’ve changed a lot of my diet to plant base, but I do still have chicken and some beef at least once a week. I’m also on a protein powder and a plant-based, because I tested low for protein and that prompted me to change my diet. When I’m out traveling, I bike ride I walk and get plenty of exercise. When I am home, I have been an elliptical machine that I use.
I also have pug dogs. Beautiful pug dogs😊
🙏❤️ thank you for these wonderful videos they bring happiness, comfort, and peace to my life😊
If you ever get a chance to visit the state of Michigan, visit the upper peninsula, lake superior! It’s very beautiful there. There’s many beautiful agates in Petoskey stones to be found on the beach line. I will add that the best time to go that far up in Michigan near the border of Canada is The middle of July to the middle of August. It’s the warmest time of the year during this time period.
To listen and see the beautiful bonbon Falls and all the different waterfalls that are throughout the upper peninsula and the wildlife is just amazing. It is so peaceful. It’s just like in this video in someways.😊

My daughter, who is 28 yo, had a very serious back issue last year. She was depressed and, while dancing to try to get better, she dislocated something. She suffered a lot, went to several doctors, was in bed rest for almost three months. Meanwhile, she got more and more depressed, ate a lot of junk food full of sugar and salt and, in general, she thought this would never heal. Then, she got approved for the university and course of her dreams. Almost immediately, she got better. And then she wanted to lose weight to meet her new colleagues. So she began to eat much better than before. Her comute to the campus required a lot of walking too, something she wasn't used to. And six months after that, no back issue whatsoever.

I've been watching your series from South Korea. I was terribly ill from stress (almost dying) but no medication worked. Luckily, numbers from the medical check-up showed no abnormalities. But I suffered enormously with no hope of improvement. Then I started my own ways of healing, with the firm belief of the incredible power of life energy within myself. Exercise, rest, regular healty diet, sound sleep, chi training, meditation, chilling with my lovely cat Eun-byul (meaning silver star), and (importantly) less work meaning less money 😅. I AM getting better. And on this journey, you are my buddy. Thanks. 💪💪

I'm only halfway through the video but I admire the way you think so much, and you're totally right.
Your relationship with God cannot be forced, fabricated, formulated, "say these words", give this much money etc. It's completely missing the point.
Jesus criticised religous people, again and again, who did this very same thing. People claiming to be wise, boasting about how they keep their traditions when in reality all of their "love" actually had selfish motives and was not real at all and you see this again and again in history. Not every "Christian" knows God.
Goobie, I want you to know something. God sees you more than you see yourself. He wants your honest, desperate heart. Theres no formula to it. Its so easy even for me as a christian to go to other people for what God is, rather than God himself. Man will always fall short. i hope this gave you a new prespective ❤. There are many testimonies of people who hated God because people represented Him so poorly, doing horrible things and not living it out, but then came to know God personally. Search up "Bryce Crawford" for example

The part where you discuss how the abusive family system manifests across society is so poignant and important. It reminds me of the concept, paraphrased from Hermetic texts: 'As above, so below.' As an adult survivor of Complex PTSD, it’s jarring to see how the abusive family system replicates itself in all areas of relational human systems.
You mention workplaces and the abusive family system is most evident here. Think of how the abused child who depends on their family for survival, is forced to endure in silence out of necessity-disembodied from the somatic cognitive dissonance of being told they are loved by their bullies. Society positions the family as a child's protector, yet it often becomes their first source of harm. In the workplace, a similar pattern unfolds: Employers claim to care about workers and value their contributions, yet many workers are exploited, underpaid, and subjected to bullying or mobbing for failing to conform. Like the abused child, workers feel trapped, compelled to stay for survival-gaslit and left feeling disembodied once again.
As you mention, this is evident in facets of life-religious institutions, schools, politics and even interpersonal relationships. In all this, there is a deeper societal reality: we are born into a world where we are expected to silence our authentic selves, dissociate from our humanity/nature/our animal friends, and pay to exist. If we truly want to heal the world, we must start by prioritizing the liberation and well-being of children. I often say, if one wants to understand society, one should look inward at one's family system—sk much is revealed there about how we relate to each other and power dynamics.

I had an awful morning. Had a car accident (my fault) but thankfully no one is hurt. the only thing that hurts, actually, is my wallet.I'm a young driver so insurance are going to eat me ALIVE. Then, on my way home, i remembered that i'm 26 yo and nowhere in life : still living with my parents, don't even have my own car, no degree (i'm in community college), no real job, and let's not talk about my love life. I feel hopeless. I don't want to die, but there are days i feel like giving up. I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with me. I need to be checked by a professional but fear prevents me from making an appointment. When i watch your videos, i feel like i can breathe a little bit. it helps, and you can't even imagine how much this means to me. So, i just wanted to say thank you. That's it.

Try to relax, try to give yourself some time to just be you. It's ok feeling the way you do. Feeling overwhelmed is something you have in common with millions of people for one reason or another. Your Higher Power, God, whomever you think of as God, has plans for you. He or She will help you find your way. But don't give up on yourself! Somewhere, at sometime, somebody's prayer will be answered by you. You have a purpose. You are Important. I admire you for working so hard to get to where you are! I gave up in college. Depression got the best of me. It was the way it was. But I kept plugging along and found a good job and worked my way through it. My Father's untimely death gave me impetus to keep going. He tried So Hard to live!!
Give yourself a break. You are human. Give yourself some love.
Give yourself some credit, what you have accomplished is quite grand!
And lastly, give yourself Life, everyday.
Eat well, go for walks, read good books. Feel the wing blow.
God Bless you Friend.

I don't know where I heard it ages ago, but there was a really wise buddhist saying that you can't fix life by doing something, but by stopping something. that is, on the ultimate level. you may start working out to improve your health, but ultimately, your health will fade like everything. and by stopping the struggle, again, ultimately, you will reach peace. meaning you won't necessarily go through an increase in health to reach that peace, but when putting the end of suffering above health, meaning being independent of one's physical condition, you will slowly realize that the way to get to such a transcendent peace is by not doing harmful things you currently engage with. I have arrived at the realization that this stopping harmful things coincidentally usually leads to an improved health. these harmful things don't only mean bad lifestyle, but above anything bad mental patterns, the root where every negative causal chain originates from. and just like a bad spine is the very end of that chain, the mental fabrications are the very start

Hello Dr. You are a gift to the world, and us. Thank you for sharing your truth. I was a laser surgery patient, x2, lumbar and cervical. I have had great results, and I know I’m lucky. But during the lumbar, which was so complex, with nucleus shattered, the physicians were casually talking about their personal lives, as if I wasn’t even there. I had to ask them to stop having a gossip fest, and to concentrate on me, their patient. They did and all was ok. The fact that they could talk about nonsense while I was on the table, awake, and scared, says everything about how they have had to desensitize themselves, in order to perform. The stress that you neurosurgeons experience, is unlike any other, so intense, my ability to walk was in their hands. I want to thank you with all my heart, for telling the truth about the state of American medical care. It’s a mysterious world to many, and all the more information we all have, the better. You are a special individual, and I so appreciate you, and your dog also.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
Matthew 7:21-23

Thanks for sharing. Your beautiful videos, personal story, and clincal insights about the true sources/threats to our health resonate deeply. I'm older physician who went through a similar "life crisis" mid-career when my heart was opened to a better understanding of illness and healing. The lessons are still unfolding. Seems to me there is a life-force that flows through us and the whole world, with beautiful and sensibly intelligent patterns that can be recognised, listened to, and followed. If we let them, our pains and natural pleasures are gifts to guide us toward health. While the capacity (authority, freedom) and responsibility for health and healing are within us, the pace of healing is slow and requires gradually ascending degrees of external challenge (eustress, play) along with rest-recovery. This only happens within our embodied context (our environment, here & now). All life is miraculous and sacred, and what is sacred is priceless (cannot be monetized without destroying it). With all the viral attention coming your way, good luck keeping your own bearings. Take it slow. Get enough sleep. Love what is. 🙂Doug

As a future medical student who has been worried with the state of modern medicine, this video may have changed the course of my life. Not in the way of how I view depression, which I lost my grandfather to at a young age, but in the way of the path with which I will take.
I come from a family with zero background in medicine. I was raised upper middle class, which I can’t even begin to think about how blessed it was for me. But I have zero knowledge on medicine. All the information I’ve gathered is from my peers and friends taking the same route as me, and wishy-washy doctors that give 2 sentence answers when I ask questions.
My faith in medicine has slowly devolved into something I never thought. I was beggining to lose hope. Not in my own life, but with what I dreamed of doing with it since I was 8.
You and your videos have shown me that the thing I want to prioritize and put the most effort into is overall health. I have little idea of what this even fully means. But I know, from your videos, I have the power to choose to do what I think is right. And that’s to help people as I see fit, not as insurance companies and pharmaceutical agencies do.
Doobie, the few impressions you have had on me have been monumental. Without you, I think it’s possible I may have made a the same mistake, and chose a field I “thought” I liked. Now, I will choose the one God put me on this earth to fulfill.
You’re where you’re supposed to be doobie, and I’m glad you’re beggining to realize that. Keep spreading your message❤️

Thank you again and again, for your generosity in sharing so much of yourself. I tend to think of surgeons as only experts in cutting into the human body toward connecting damaged parts to the ‘engine’ the cell making origin of the body. It’s like, for me, the maintenance of horse’s hooves, for instance. Horses in the wild, for the most part, don’t need human intervention as the natural environment and constant migration of the horse itself takes care of the constantly growing hooves and the wear in them by the filing of the ground surface.
Well, in my retirement, I have let my last horses stay barefoot on a forty acre pasture of sandy loam footing. Their hooves require very little maintenance with filing for balance and shape. Oh, there is a rare abscess that needs to be poulticed to drain more quickly, and that is about the only extra effort that is needed. It would be great if we could know more about how to restructure our daily routines to reduce physical pain after a lifetime of doing unhelpful things in our diet and lifestyle. I look forward to watching all of your videos. 🤩🥰 You are a ⭐️

Love from India, your journey's begun,
No more trading time for money, from nine to five you're done.
Now it's family, your dog by your side,
Travel to places where your heart can glide.
Mornings slow, with clouds in the sky,
No rushing to meetings, just watching time fly.
Enjoy the life you've always dreamed of,
Every single moment, with peace and love.
So here’s to freedom, to joy and light,
To days filled with laughter, and calm quiet nights.
From all of us here, with love from afar,
May your new adventure be as bright as a star.

No, it doesn't really matter. All religions are man-made. It is estimated that there are around 4000 religions in the world. J. Krishnamurti, the Indian sage and teacher, said that all religions are idiotic. I think that he was correct. The Dalai Lama said that "Kindness is my religion". I'll go with that. If there is a god looking down on all of this, he/she doesn't care which man-made religion a person embraces. How one treats other people - and I would add "other living things" to that - is all that matters.
I prefer the term "Divine Intelligence". Humans are Divine Intelligence" incarnate, with all of the power of Divine Intelligence", unrealized. Sages have been saying that for thousands of years and quantum physicists are proving. it. Forget the man-made religions, and "Know Thyself". If one wants to choose one of the world's religions and call himself one, then at least choose one that advocates for and practices reverence for life. Like the Jains, for example. A first rate commentary, Goobie and Goobie. Thank you.

Wow, again... thank you for sharing.
(Oh dear this is way too long but your comments, as always are so thought/experience provoking!)
Fellow P.K-er here but raised quite differently from you. I grew up being taught that our way, as Christians, of living and choices are a direct result of the inner working of the Holy Spirit. That, our beilief systems within all of life are guided by a faithful (hungering) desire for God.
SO much of what you mention does NOT seem to be about Christianity (following Jesus Christ), but about some of the various ways it has been used to follow the faith as well as manipulate people. Eg. the feeding of the hungry BUT only after they've paid with their time in attending a church service.. And, even bigger to me, the aspect of what you described is "the prosperity gospel" not just with tithing but claiming blessing and giving of your money- abundantly- SO THAT.... you'll basically, be paid back!!
I was taught that THAT is the antithesis actually, of what following Christ is about!
I actually, also went to seminary, and my "pastorate" and calling was in clinical chaplaincy.
It was "pastoring a church" to whomever came through the hospital doors, No matter belief, non belief, athiest, etc... etc... etc... Spiritual care was/is withheld from NO ONE. And as a professional chaplain, we do not seek conversion but to be present to those in need. I LOVE it! I get to meet with, walk alongside, advocate for, people from such a varied rainbow of faiths (or none) and life experiences (of the kind I never would have been priviledged to, if I'd been working in parish ministry!) Not a bad thing just better suited to my skills/gifts/calling. My 'job' was/is to base my 'ministry' and approach to them in a way that is
in keeping with their faith tradition or body of beliefs. I do not necessarily share the root of their beiief but as a CLINICAL model, my assessment of their needs, must be based upon THEM, their story, grounding, worldview. It's not about me except for my required clinical training to make such assessments. THAT is very differnet from the narrow and bounded path your experience taught you. AND it was to "patients, familes and staff" which often times included your (professional) kin! Especially in trauma centers.
So much of what you've shared here and in previously viewed posts, seems typical to growing up, observing and questioning; healthy and normal! The denomination in which I was raised and yet belong is PCUSA. Definitely not what you have known. Within our society and "Christianity" (especially in the current state of our country's political landscape) it seems that there is very little, to no emphasis, on following Jesus Christ but one of adopting a Law-bound OT approach to life, choices and leglistic rigidity=(SHAME based). And the 'shame' is projected! THAT has nothing to do with the Jesus Christ in the Bible, nothing!
When what truly feeds our souls/spirits is the freedom in Jesus Christ; following his commandments. (Looks very different from the religious right in this country and from my understanding of the love and freedom of Christ.)
I get that your church upbringing was not conducive to continuing along the same lines as your parents but did you ever look outside the church affiliation in which you were raised? IT was and IS not the only way to comprehend the simple yet huge and life challenging message of Jesus Christ. I do not intend to malign the church of your parents or of anyone else's faith in this, and yet... what you descibe is so completely foreign to MY understanding and experience of Life in Christ as is the political right's alignment with the religious right that I'm not sure we even worhip the same God. There are many in my 'camp' but we tend to not be quite so alienating and demanding of others. So too, the Biblical commandment to 'rule over the earth "AS STEWARDS"!! That means CARE, wisdom, humane treatment, guarding of earth's resources, STEWARDSHIP and not tyranical wastefulness and greed!
Too, too much done in the name of religion and specifically of Christianity is a horrific, shameful, despicable, violent, hate-filled racist SINFUL contortion of its true edicts, commandments and Truth. Although extremely difficult, I'd say, Blame the messanger not the message!
There is not one topic or arena on earth that is not vulnerable to evil being perpetuated upon it, infused within it and use of it,
for the selfish and greed-motivations of those who seek to build their power. To have done this in the name of any religion but specifically in the name of Christianity (given your experience ad focus in this), is a harm that cannot be healed this side of heaven... except by those individuals it has maimed, perhaps. What could I possibly do as a Christian to meke it better? To do as I've done, even in my puny way.
I would say it does matter, to your wellbeing and to God. Beyond that it is not anyone's business. Including mine, I have responded as (despite your scientific training and inquisitive and capable mind) you like so many of us, base our conclusive opinion/knowledge of a topic solely on our own experience of it, certainly noy a clinical or scientific approach. But it's is 'human' and natural that we'd allow the harm within the episode(s) of that sometimes be the conclusion or whole story.
If I'd had a terrible spinal surgery, would it make any/all spine surgeries BAD?
Just sayin'...
thank you again, so much, for sharing!

I really appreciate hearing your viewpoint on this, Goobie. I also like the refreshers you're giving us about how health insurance works and what happens when you need to utilize it.
Canada's universal healthcare can be wonderful in some situations, but it's terrible for people with chronic illness and pain from everything I've learned. In my case, I would still rather be in our system here in the US, as difficult as it is to deal with and believe me, I've spent many hours dealing with ins. co.s in exactly the way you described.
As far as the media story goes, I read that, "He was under investigation by the Justice Department for insider trading, monopolistic practices, and possible racketeering."
Immediately I'm suspicious about the narrative they're pushing as it sounds like it was a good time for him to disappear, so maybe all is not as it seems.

Dr. Goobie, I wanted to share this with you and to add to this video and discussion. I was involved in a neuroscience research in Japan, particularly looking into non-pharmacological treatment options for depression. We were studying the use of tVNS - transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation as an option for treating symptoms of major depression. I joined the group which was already working on the study, and the topic was already decided for us, we had to do the rest of the work. I found out that the tVNS device we had to use was FDA approved in the US, but not approved in Europe (or maybe it was approved for use in Germany at that time). It was not approved for clinical use in Japan. Unlike it's former version - the regular VNS - this one was not invasive, and was performed by stimulating tragus of the ear with electrical impulse, which presumably reduced some depressive symptoms, albeit for a short period of time. So it was an improvement, in some sense. But to me there were still a lot of questions. And I was also intrigued - why were we gently pressured to test particularly this device, because it was what our sensei (professor and the head of the private research center) wanted us to do. It was already decided. Apparently, it was because the research center received the grant money to test the device. It was implied that we have to find out and publish how it works. And publishing a paper in a medical journal very often means you have to prove something WORKS instead of finding that something DOESN'T (aka publication bias). I don't want this to sound like I am painting my sensei black with this, because in order for the private research center to exist and continue working, they HAVE to look for money, constantly. Which comes from writing grant applications. Those who are able to give you money for research (and that's A LOT of money) wouldn't want to risk loosing it on a research that will find nothing.... If you want your independent research center to exist, you have to solve this money problem, which often means there will be these conflicts of interests.
For instance, there were a researcher in that lab, who were studying the effects of warmth /warm temperature on human mood. With financial support of a local company that installs warm floors -_- to me this is a glaring conflict of interest which has to be stated and talked about, even if we do find that the warm floors make us feel better.
Some time later, after I left the research and Japan, I have learned that you can actually stimulate the vagus nerve without any side interventions - with humming (like monks do), with singing, or even with belly breathing. Felt all our work invalidated in one moment ^^' Was wondering - WHY are we trying to invent a new bicycle?? And whatever positive effect of the tVNS device showed to be very short lived, which means you have to be dependent on the device.. This is so unsustainable! I am not event talking about the antidepressants now...
I cancelled my MEXT scholarship and left the research without proceeding with PhD, because I felt like I am wasting my time there. Japan has a HUUUUUUUUUGE problem with mental health in their society. But to me it didn't feel like my work in the lab was contributing to the solution in any meaningful way. I bet many of Japanese would feel so much better if they just slept more, worked less and weren't so lonely. Their whole environment and system is amazingly inhumane, so it is no wonder to me now that people are getting sick. But that requires systemic changes. Very bold changes.
Thank you for having the courage to talk about these topics and issues in the medical field!
I want to add, that one week ago I was on a big cardiological conference (in my country) - all the doctors were talking ONLY about the drugs - new AKEI, Beta Blockers, Calcium channel blockers, Statins etc. Lifestyle changes were mentioned only briefly - in a single sentence... The conflict of interests were also not addressed or even mentioned, despite the conference was being sponsored by multiple big pharmacological companies....

As a practicing neurologist, I've worked closely with neurosurgeons and their patients very frequently. I've had my own anecdotes and observations as well. I frequently treat migraines in my patients and among the most efficacious things I've seen which as been backed by research has been good sleep, good diet (low salt, low fat and high protein), and good hydration. As a patient myself who suffers from migraines, these measures have immensely improved my migraines. Had it not been learning these during my training with headache specialists, I may have been on meds at this point. While there are some of my patients less fortunate as me to struggle despite these measures, I can strongly vouch that many lifestyle measures make a huge difference. And in the grand scheme of things, these measures are in essence just taking good care of your body. We ought to really give our body what it needs, right? Medications and surgery do work. They do help. But why wait to get to that point? Of course there are exceptions where health and lifestyle are not enough, but you can only make things better doing so. I strongly support this philosophy.

I'm one of those lucky viewers (and since then subscribers) who was recommended by the YT algorithm to watch (and did watch) all 48 minutes of the alone in the mountains video. As a former research assistant at Mayo Clinic and now assistant professor elsewhere, I resonated so much with that video. HYBH Episode 2 sparked the "Aha!" light-bulb moment for me. For context: I'm in my mid-30s and, probably like a handful of folks in my generation, have put on a few pounds since grad school and a more sedentary lifestyle. Family obligations, career aspirations, and life just "getting in the way" at times (but let's be real: mostly poor dietary choices due to a lack of discipline) have slowly but surely resulted in a slightly chubbier face and a bigger waist. The painful hypocrisy of telling my students they need to take care of themselves when I've been neglecting my own physical health for the past 4 years. I bought a scale for the first time in my life in July and have slowly been losing weight (down 11 lbs in 8 weeks with about 4-5 to go). I've been waking up with more energy, my lower back pain has disappeared, and eating veggies--by themselves--has become an aspect of my meals that I look forward to (broccoli tastes slightly sweet again, and I'm all for it). After HYBH Ep. 2, I realized that, without intentionally doing so, I've been consuming significantly less sodium since July, which has probably benefited the weight loss and overall good, healthy feeling I've regained.
Thank you for making a difference in this world. I love and appreciate your ability to communicate peer-reviewed medical study methodologies, findings, and concepts in an easier to understand way. Super happy to hear about the continuing med education courses for ya--looking forward to future episodes!
Side note: I kid you not, after watching HYBH Ep. 2 I spent 5 minutes in the grocery store comparing the nutrition labels of different granola brands, specifically to see how much sodium was in each serving. The variance of sodium per serving across brands was astounding, and not necessarily in a good way.

You are now becoming a True doctor! Welcome to The Electronic Social Transformation! 👏😀
As a global community, we are all experiencing a rapid massive change electronically. What once was the norm, shall fade away, just like how old school medicine became obsolete when the for-profit big-pharma corporate structure took over. Now, old school medicine(diet, nutrition, exercise, etc), from cultures around the world, that have been proven effective, are making a comeback, but on a detail-specific level through technology. We are realizing too that we're not cookie cutter cut-out human beings. We are all seperate entities that make up the whole human race! It's great to be alive in this day and age when information is so readily available! You're on the right track! What you know through neurosurgery is helping the community quite a bit, more than you'll ever know. We all appreciate what you are doing!
Thank you!🙏❤️

Hi Dr. Goobie, thanks for posting this. Not sure how this got into my feed, but I'm glad it did. I have a genetic kidney disorder whereby not enough phosphorus is absorbed and so my bones don't get enough of it. So I have osteomalacia and osteoperosis in my back. As someone who has been extremely active my whole life and still have a lot of life left (was diagnosed with this when I was 46 years of age so three years ago), this was a tough pill to swallow. However, as I had mostly been a runner, and swimmer I started to lift regularly to strengthen my bones. By definition, I have multiple vertebral fractures up and down my back. For me these aren't normal fractures but are loss of width due to bone loss. Even so, I'm still able to run distances, swim, and perform most lifts fine(exception is dead lifts which I stay away from). I can still run on consecutive days, but I stay away from it because my back does get sore from that. However, for the most part I can still do everything I need to do to stay active and healthy. I've never really eaten a high salt diet and have only dealt with a sort of median level of stress (I work a high-end customer service job at a bank). I receive treatment with biophospate drip once per year. I have also found my faith, Catholicism, and I feel this has also helped immensely. Regarding the structure of the medical system, I have sensed this ever since I began testing for what I was eventually diagnosed with. I do think the biophosphates have helped but, apart from that, I have no expectation in the future of depending on doctors or surgeons for my medical needs. I'm a huge believer in preventative medicine and in using physical activity as a means of stress testing and catching problems before they get too serious to treat. In fact, that's how I initially found about my kidney disorder: I suffered a sort of partial vertebral fracture (schmorl's node was forming) in my T11 while running on a treadmill.
I really want to echo what a couple of other posters have said. You have a lot of knowledge that could be useful and people need to know about. I'm certain there's a way for you to channel that into a role where you could really do a lot of good. Your MD status and experience make you extremeley credible. People will listen to you.

Cherish that beautiful dog you have. I lost my boy on June 27th at 10 years old. He was a boxer/rotty mix that meant the world to me. I’m 43 with a wife and young daughter. This dog was like another child to us. The end was extremely difficult. We don’t get to dictate the terms. I wanted a couple more years with him. He lost coordination of his hind legs after taking an osteoarthritis drug called Librela (relatively new to market). It appears it aggravated an underlying lumbo-sacral disc issue. Beyond that, he apparently had a mass on his spleen. We spent $25,000 in Vet costs and 42 days of home care/therapy before he stopped eating. We were able to restore some function to his legs so he was able to walk again, but in the end the splenic mass metastasized to other organs creating an un-fixable problem. Quality of life meant we had to euthanize. We used an at-home service. Most painful experience of my life. The Veterinary industry is absolutely abhorrent - we went to many! You spoke of the human medical industry a few weeks ago. It resonated. The Veterinary industry is many times worse. If your dog ages and has legitimate issues, you’re doomed. Most helpless I’ve ever felt. Lack of proactive testing, diagnostics, expertise, etc. Went for MRI after hind leg issue arose and he was returned to us with dew claws torn off and right front elbow torn up. That right front elbow would later get infected and was life threatening. It was a cruel, cruel end for a dog that was everything love should be. Changed my perspective on life quite a bit. The randomness of it all. The unfairness. Enjoy your time with Doobie, she looks like a wonderful dog. I don’t want to be a downer, just want to briefly share my experience and remind everyone to cherish their time with their pets.

Dear Doctor Goobie,
Thank you so much for your videos. You have a lot of depth and wisdom to share, and I love hearing your stories, and watching your beautiful nature documentaries. I learn so much, and you inspire me.
The topic of your video today touched on Doctor suicide, and this is a subject I have been curious about for some years. In my research I came across Doctor Pamela Wible, MD @PamelaWible from Oregon, who has written several books on the topic, and used to run a helpline especially for suicidal physicians. I happen to know she runs peer support groups for doctors, and helps doctors transition into more sustainable ways of living. I just thought you two might find a lot to talk about together, and maybe you could do an episode in conversation with her?! Maybe? Just an idea 💡 🙌
If not, I just hope you two can connect. If it feels right.
Carry on doing what you're doing. Much love and appreciation ❤

Hello from Australia! I've never been one to follow people or excitedly wait for new videos but here I am!
I'm wondering if you can talk about addictive eating (sugar/salt). Its the one thing in my life i feel like if i can overcome it, I can sort anything out. I am in my 30s and i have all the usual inflammatory responses: weight gain, hair loss, eczema, arthritis, chronic pain, asthma, hayfever, PCOS. It goes on forever. Doctors recommend pain killers and psychologists and thats where the help ends.
Your videos are truly inspiring change in me that I've known for a long time needs to happen. I just never knew where to start but your thoughtfulness and gentle approach has inspired me to be patient and kind to myself, to start slow and build on my knowledge efforts daily. Thank you for all you've done, I wish there was a way for you to know just how profoundly you've impacted so many people.

Dear Dr. Goobie, this is a profound and philosophical video. I learned today that i should see others and myself having equal SOULS. This includes the animals and environment. This somewhat reflects Buddhism. No one is perfect so we should not be too hard on others and ourselves. It is important to accept the fact. However, I din't think being angry is good. In Buddhism, to reduce suffering and to attain happiness, we need to reduce or eliminate three essential things: greed, anger, and hurting others. When one is angry, one can hurt self and others physically or verbally. I love what you said, there's no hierarchy in souls including parents and children, we and our pets, .... i feel guilty for having used authority sometimes as a parent but I need to let the past go. I learn new things everyday, focus on the present moment, enjoy life and be kind to others including animals and our only home Earth.

hi Goobie and everyone :) I like to exercise for the body and the mind at the same time. Yoga is movement meditation. By dropping my focus into the body during yoga, I feel almost "high" after yoga sometimes. The body is warm and loosened, I breathe deeper, I notice and appreciate nature more... the trees, the clouds, the sun, the rain, even the air and breath feels fresher. I feel grounded, connected and alive. It's like a baby, experiencing the world for the first time. I also walk mostly quietly and mindfully in the woods, even when I'm walking with someone - asmr irl. Yesterday on a trail, we stopped to watch and listen to the sound of a young squirrel eat its dinner. Sometimes, I walk in the hood around sunrise or at night when there are less people, less cars, and the world is less hurried. I hope you find moments of peace and joy today ✨❤peach

I am also a medical doctor, but one who never got to specialize, and watching all my batchmates who specialized, kept me wondering for decades now, how would I have been if I got the chance to be a specialist in a field I liked. I worked in the emergency rooms for a decade (11 years). After 11 years, I realized I have not seen and enjoyed the sunrise and sunsets all those years.
I still work in the health sector, but now in a less stressful position, and was enjoying life balance since 2011.
Yet through all these years, I was still floating with an unanswered question: What if I became the specialist I wanted to be?
Your testimonial made me realize I am like you, and no matter what specialty I end up in, I will sooner or later reach the saturation point you are in now. I will eventually have my epiphany.
Thanks for letting me let go of that life long question I wanted to answer still.
About life, in my younger years as a teenager, long before I started medical studies, I learned, that life has no meaning, you have to make one for yourself.

Hello! My name is Brady Swanson. You performed two spine surgeries on me nearly 10 years ago. I think I was one of your first patients! At the time I was living in so much pain, and I was young when you did the surgery on me. 20! Your kind words, and attentive nature always made me feel comfortable with going forward with the procedures. It was tough to make the call to get the surgeries, but I trusted you. You always showed me kindness and were there with me. I have gone on to recover from the surgeries, and the spine injury and have lived a very active and fulfilling live. Now 30, I've cycled across America, Taught Skiing in California, and New Zealand. I've become a schoolteacher, and have lived a very active life. Thank you for the kindness you showed me 10 years ago. Your videos have been so wonderful, and your voice sounded so familiar. I'm so happy for you. Always,

I've grown really tired of the "expectation hive". When I was a kid, I imagined I would have my life together by 25- married, with kids, some kind of career. Then I started getting older, and struggled making those things happen, to the point where I firmly believed I wouldn't make it past 25.
I'm 32 now, and still haven't met those accomplishments because... They were never my own goals. They were, for the most part, everyone else's. What society says we're supposed to do.
Anyhow I'm still here, and life has been better since I found out that this is my life and no one else's. Only I get to live it. It isn't an easy road, and the times I can have solitude are when I'm most at peace and not feeling like a disappointment in someone else's eyes. Sometimes I don't care what others think, but when I do, it really hurts.

I didn´t know how YouTube got me here but Man, you are a Master of the Storytelling, the format was SO GOOD, and your story was so amazing. Im not a doctor, even know something about medical stuff, btw, im trough a similar process like you, I quit my law/corporate job AFTER 9 years and know im just living, looking for the next "step", but im not sure about where and when it will comes.
Whatever, your video let me think a lot of things about my life. You're pure inspiration!

The 2nd commandment, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” struck me deeply during my stay with a host who practices feeding birds as part of her faith. Yesterday, she left food outside, and today I noticed it remained untouched. Curious, I asked her about it, and she explained how, in the past, she would regularly feed the wildlife. However, after neighbors complained and even threatened to call the police, she chose to adjust. Now, she feeds the birds less frequently, respecting their concerns while continuing to honor her spiritual practice. It made me think of Gandhi’s words, "Be the change you want to see in the world." True love for others begins with inner transformation, and by finding this balance, she embodies that change.
To Goobie and Doobie, continue doing what you're doing. I’ve been closely watching your journey, and there are many, like myself, who are filled with questions and doubts, often forced to live lives that feel untrue. We're all on a path of self-discovery, moving through different phases of life, exploring various cultures, and experiencing diverse religions. Please continue your journey, as we may live a part of ourselves through you. I hope our paths cross one day so we can share our stories.

I hope this dude survives. He seems to be a bit too philosophical. Being a deep thinker, about 15% of the time, in context with a full life, is fine. Artists, philosophers, writers and musicians lean into deep thoughts. However if those thoughts consume you, which clearly appears to be the case here, that usually does not end well. Soon, cogent thoughts turn into rambling gibberish and confusion. As of today, his videos are mostly interesting. He has some credibility as a former surgeon. Smart man. Perhaps he should write a book. These videos are also a little concerning at the same time.
Dealing with life is a bit like riding a bicycle. All the bad stuff is, and has always been here. It's like how, if you slow down, you will always find bad things on the side of the road (dead animals, life's garbage, bad smells, pot holes, dirt, etc.) If you are doing your thing in life ~85% of the time, you have momentum and can opine on such things, as you cruise by and keep going. In aviation they have an expression, altitude is life insurance. It is that buffer than can save your butt. For most of us, altitude and momentum exists when you are moving and making money. It's very good to have a social life, friends, and real connections- have some BALANCE. However, when you slow down too much, and all you do is walk in nature thinking about all the garbage on the side of the road, it does not usually end well. Many folks in the 60's were like this. Many turned to drugs to expand their consciousness as well. Addictions can really fast tracks ones demise.
No matter how philosophical and eloquent one may be, they are moving away from center. Center is what keeps you in sync with the world and with others. He may even be correct in his theories but he will find less and less connection with others- unless perhaps he finds another tribe of folks who share his various philosophies. He could start his own religion! He seems the type but I would not drink his cool-aide. Like I said, and I hope I am wrong, but I get a strange vibe.
I can imagine that at some point, his marriage will take a hit. She will put up with this for now, but eventually she will feel more and more disconnected from him- and also his paycheck. Not right away, but after hearing him theorize after say 2-3 years, it will get old if he is not moving forward. She will leave and find connection with someone who is more productive. Then he will make videos about abandonment. We have all seen this movie before. You want to be someone who is living life and not just talking about it.
Our realities are simply interpretations of our experience. His last professional experience has shaped his current view of reality and not in a great way. He was traumatized by the machine that is healthcare. He grew a conscious and left his master. A master that was not perfect, but paid him. Money is the needed lubricant every engine needs to run smoothly. Despite US healthcare being mostly a big old money grab, he probably did still do some good. He must have helped some patients so he can feel good about that.
I just hope he does not allow all his thoughts consume him. He could write a book, but best to get back to some type of productive work. In the meantime, join some social clubs and get more connected with other humans. Value your marriage and don't blow it. If he continues really deep down this rabbit hole, his wife will hop away eventually. He could even become a therapist. Many like him do- to figure out the meaning of life. Though I would probably leave his office even more confused! I get that being philosophical when you are a little down can feel like a much needed warm bath. Sometimes it is necessary for a short period of time. Enjoy it, but like the frog sitting in the slowly boiling pot of water, don't stay in there too long.
Good luck!

I couldn't watch this one because the topic is triggering to me. Christianity, in large part, has nothing to do with Jesus. He didn't come to start a religion. He came to say you are like me. Be like me. He was a great master who came to demonstrate the fullness of our Being, at one with all that is. Some of the most judgemental people I have ever encountered are Christians. And other religious people. I hope at the end of this you got to the Universal Christ Consciousness that we all are. Listen to Father Richard Rohr. I have had a crazy journey from Corporate America to a short stint in a homeless shelter. The people were told they were in this situation because they were not right with God. They offered shelter, but you had to be indoctrinated into their religion. You had no choice. So it was not true giving. There was an agenda. It was pretty disgusting. I was thrown out by four police officers for asking if this really what Jesus would do? I have since gone on to travel all over the world and am writing a book about my journey. I have gotten thown out of many places for asking, is this really what Jesus would do? The powers that be do not want to be questioned. There is so much that is not aligned in Christianity and the other religions I encountered. I have to say though that along the way I was guided by Spirit to places like monasteries and convents who do actually walk their talk. I stayed in many of these places for long stretches of time. The nuns and monks/brothers were so loving and giving. I did not resonate with what they believed, but it didn't matter. They lived by the rule, all who present themselves shall be treated as Christ. And they did. It didn't matter who you were, what you had, or what your spiritual beliefs were. You could feel their hearts were aligned with the truth that Jesus came to demonstrate. So, there are many well-meaning people who are Christians. It's more the institution of religion that is a massive problem. As I type this I am hearing that you are going in the direction I hope you are going. Thanks for being you.

Hahaha about your version of speaking in tongues: lalalalalalala lalalalalalalalalalala hahahahaha!!!!! That's cute!!!! I agree with you: it's a lot!!!!!!! It's pretty 'out there' to say the least!!!!!! I believe this practice in certain denominations is interesting, curious, and does point to perhaps connecting with something important, something deep, something genuine and authentic, but I'm not sure exactly what or how I can even explain my intuitive understanding of what this is all about, and I'm not sure that the way it's practiced in a kind of collective stupor/ hypnosis, is necessarily the way to go, but who knows? Some people might find this liberating, or getting them in touch with something deeper/ or deep within them? Some sense of abandon and free expression??? A sort of shaking out of their tongues and vocal chords?? Like the way you would shake out your body, just to loosen up tightness?
Not knowing anything about speaking in tongues, I would sometimes speak some gibberish to my dad, when I was a child and perfectly able to speak normally, and he would speak similar gibberish back to me, just for fun. I guess this was done in moments of peaceful and calm communion. I would now struggle to remember the kinds of sounds that we made. They were probably pretty Polish based bits and bobs as we spoke Polish at home, and with some German sounds mixed in, as we lived in Germany. I don't think we did it very often. Just very occasionally. However I do remember my mum saying to stop being so silly cause it freaked her out a bit. I suppose there is a natural fear of the unknown. She probably didn't even think consciously that we might be invoking some strange spirit, but for sure she didn't fancy us going on at length like this, which is perfectly understandable.

Goobie! I don't know if you're high on mushroom gummies in the video. Either way, you're very courageous to shared this video.
I don't know if you remember my previous comment on one of your previous videos about free will. I relate to pretty much everything you talk about, not just the philosophical and religious stuff. But regarding the philosophical and religious stuff, I'm 56 years old, and I've been thinking about God, meaning of life, etc. since I was 7 years old, and Christianity has been a huge factor. I thought I had turned over ever rock in my search for answers to this and that. And when I saw the title to this video, I kind of rolled my eyes. When I got knee deep into the video, I rolled my eyes again when you shared that you're a PK.
I'm so glad I watched this video to the end, because in all my time and effort over the last 50 years, I never realized your insight into Christianity: that it doesn't teach you to love yourself, that it just assumes you love yourself, naturally. For me, at best, this shows how arrogant and self-centered Christianity is, and further explains what I've always observed: that western religions tend to project outward, from themselves to other people (evangelism) and to the universe (God in heaven) rather than look inward into their souls, which can be even more expansive than the universe. At worst, more than arrogant and self-centered, Christianity is kind of narcissistic. Not only does it not teach you to love yourself, but it kind of says you can't, that only Jesus could love and save a sinner like you. It tries to drill into people that they're no good sinners and damned to hell if they don't accept Jesus as their lord and savior. I know less about Judaism and Islam, but am inclined to think they have similar ambitions, just with different means and methods.
Regarding "who is my neighbor", there's a belief in one of the eastern philosophies that would say a person sitting down to a steak and potatoes dinner after an honest day's work in Idaho who knows nothing about and has no interest in domestic or foreign political and economic matters is as guilty of the atrocities in the Israeli-Palestinian and Ukraine wars as the leaders and participants of those wars.

The Inversion of Life and the Rise of Anti-Life Forces: A Call to Reclaim the Sacred
Opening:
In a world increasingly dominated by disconnection, distortion, and decay, we find ourselves confronting an ancient duality—the inversion of live into evil. This symbolic reversal is more than just a linguistic curiosity; it is a profound reflection of the spiritual, moral, and existential crisis that has unfolded across human history. At its core, this inversion represents the battle between forces that affirm and nurture life, and those that oppose and destroy it.
Throughout history, civilizations have risen and fallen based on their ability to align with the principles of life, or succumb to forces of disintegration and collapse. Today, humanity stands at a critical juncture, facing the consequences of centuries of disconnection from nature, from one another, and from the sacred. The result is a world where the very essence of life—live—is being twisted into its opposite, evil, with potentially catastrophic consequences for both humanity and the planet.
This exploration of the inversion of live and evil serves as both a warning and a guidepost. It highlights the existential choice that faces us: to either continue down a path of disintegration, where greed, ignorance, and the desire for power sever the connections that sustain life, or to realign with the sacred, heal the fractures, and reclaim our role as stewards of life on Earth.
The inversion of live and evil presents a profound and symbolic reflection of the tension between life-affirming and life-destroying forces. This duality transcends mere wordplay, embodying a deeper truth about the choices we make—individually and collectively—and the existential consequences that follow. It reveals a metaphysical struggle at the heart of human existence: the battle between creation and destruction, connection and disconnection, growth and decay, harmony and chaos.
To live (live) is to align with the forces of vitality, nurturing, and interconnectedness. It means embracing the sacredness of life, affirming our inherent connection to nature, to others, and to the larger cosmos. Living involves fostering environments—both inner and outer—where life can flourish, creativity can flow, and meaning can be found. On the other hand, evil represents the forces that seek to undermine and invert life itself. It is more than just moral wrongness; it is the systemic destruction of life-affirming principles, a force that turns life against itself, distorting reality, severing connections, and leading to decay, suffering, and nihilism.
This inversion of live into evil reflects the pervasive crisis of modern civilization. As humanity has become increasingly disconnected from the natural world, from spiritual roots, and from one another, the forces of evil—those that negate life—have gained dominance. This is evident in the environmental degradation ravaging ecosystems, the rampant materialism that values consumption over connection, and the ideological polarization that fragments societies. In every instance, life’s vitality is inverted, replaced by systems and behaviors that feed on destruction rather than creation.
Historically, this inversion can be seen in key moments of societal collapse. The fall of the Roman Empire, for instance, marked the onset of the original Dark Ages, when knowledge, wisdom, and the sacred were displaced by ignorance, violence, and superstition. Similarly, the Enlightenment, while bringing advances in science and reason, also initiated a process of desacralization that severed humanity’s mystical connection with nature. The Industrial Revolution further deepened this disconnection, transforming the world into a machine where humans and the natural world were reduced to resources for exploitation. Each of these periods of disintegration was marked by a shift away from life-affirming principles, replaced by forces that opposed or distorted the sacred order.
Today, this inversion has reached its apex in the digital age. We live in a world where the boundaries between truth and falsehood, reality and illusion, have become fluid, creating a state of collective confusion. The rise of disinformation, social media echo chambers, and ideological warfare has led to a fragmentation of meaning itself. The shared reality that once provided coherence to human societies is now fractured, leaving individuals and communities adrift in a sea of competing narratives. This mirrors the historical collapse of centralized authority during the Dark Ages but is now global in scope, amplified by the speed and reach of modern technology.
The inversion of live and evil serves as a warning, highlighting the consequences of disconnection, greed, and ignorance. These forces are not merely passive; they actively oppose life, seeking to invert its sacred nature. Greed, in its essence, reflects an internal void—a hunger that cannot be satisfied because it seeks to fill a spiritual absence with material accumulation. The desire for power, similarly, arises from the need to impose control over a world that has lost its sacred order. And ignorance, perhaps the most insidious of all, represents the willful refusal to engage with reality, retreating into comforting illusions rather than confronting the truth.
This inversion manifests in various ways throughout modern life:
1. Inversion of Truth and Logic: We are witnessing a world where objective facts are distorted, and reason is replaced by subjective narratives. The claim that “2 + 2 = 5” symbolizes the manipulation of truth, where reality is bent to serve the interests of power. By undermining logic, this inversion disorients individuals, making them more susceptible to control and falsehood.
2. Inversion of Morality: The traditional ethical frameworks that once guided human behavior—principles like honesty, integrity, and compassion—have been turned upside down. Opportunism, deceit, and selfishness are valorized, and the distinction between right and wrong becomes blurred. This moral inversion feeds into systems of exploitation and greed that prioritize material gain over human and ecological well-being.
3. Inversion of Identity: The confusion surrounding identity—particularly gender and human roles—represents another aspect of this inversion. Rather than honoring the natural complementarity of masculine and feminine energies, we see a dissolution of boundaries that leaves individuals disconnected from their deeper selves and searching for meaning in artificial constructs.
4. Inversion of Good and Evil: Perhaps the most profound inversion is the elevation of destructive behavior as a form of strength. Cruelty, manipulation, and exploitation are often framed as necessary evils or virtues in a world where empathy and compassion are increasingly marginalized.
The thread that runs through all of these inversions is disconnection. At every level—personal, societal, ecological—the forces of evil seek to sever the connections that sustain life. Disconnected from nature, we exploit it; disconnected from others, we fall into tribalism and conflict; disconnected from our spiritual roots, we lose our sense of purpose and direction.
Yet, the inversion of live and evil also points to a path of redemption. If the forces of evil are those that sever, negate, and distort life, then the forces of live are those that heal, reconnect, and restore. To reverse this inversion, we must realign with life’s principles. This means restoring our connection to nature, reawakening to the sacred, and rebuilding communities grounded in mutual care and understanding. It means choosing creation over destruction, cooperation over competition, and meaning over materialism.
At the personal level, this involves a deep introspection—examining our own actions and choices to see where we may be contributing to the forces that oppose life. Are we nurturing life within ourselves and others, or are we allowing the forces of disconnection, greed, and ignorance to shape our behavior? This self-awareness is the first step in reclaiming life’s sacredness.
Collectively, reversing the inversion requires a radical shift in how we relate to the world. It calls for a re-sacralization of life, where we once again recognize the inherent value and interconnectedness of all beings. This involves not only protecting the environment but reimagining our economic, political, and social systems to prioritize the flourishing of life over short-term profit or power.
In conclusion, the inversion of live and evil is a metaphor for the existential crisis facing humanity. It reflects a profound choice between life-affirming principles and the forces that oppose life. By becoming aware of this inversion and consciously choosing to realign with life’s sacredness, we can begin to heal the wounds of disconnection and avert the collapse that looms on the horizon. This is the ultimate moral and spiritual challenge of our time: to choose life, in all its forms, and to resist the forces that seek to turn life against itself.

This is going to sound both cap and ironic, but today I almost lost my life while crossing a very narrow, dirt road high up in a mountain in Medellin, on a little town called Aldea. This road had a huge drop, like high enough to respawn me. According to a local, the road was better before, but due to a septic pipe that ran through it and faulted, it caused the ground alongside it to sink.
Foolish me, underestimated the difficulty of the terrain. During the last part of the hill I accelerated a bit much and was airborne for 2 seconds, my wife screamed and fell to her knees and told my daughter, “Daddy fell”. It was my decision. I chose to cross that road like you chose your specialty. The risk factor to a potentially tragic ending increased ever so slightly the more I let my ego take the wheel.
I remember looking back at my rearview mirror after negotiating the terrain unsuccessfully, despite my Army buddy being my ground guide, and I felt scared. But, It was a different fear though. My cousin lend us his car, I was thinking how do I tell him I am afraid to push forward. What will he think of me? How the heck will a tow truck get this nice car out of here? I should have listened to my wife when she said don’t cross it. If I reverse, there is a higher probability I’ll fall. I knew it was a little too late to change my mind. So I pushed forward.
I’m glad i got to watch your video but happier that you are now in a different theater of operation doing you. I have been a surg tech for many years, and I’ve met many a brilliant yet miserable health professional. One sad story I was told was about a young neurosurgeon in our hospital who suicided. It was hard for me to understand, until now, how someone so smart, who spent so many hours training, is able to pull the plug just like that?
Watching your video and from my own experience I can say with a high degree of confidence, that was his decision. Do I respect it? Perhaps. But, I respect yours more. Now that you are free from the arms of bureaucracy that is health care, perhaps you can rekindle your love for neuroscience. Stranger things have happened; like that one story about a foolish man who thought he could cross a very narrow road high up on a mountain. Or the one about a neurosurgeon who quit his job to start anew. 🦄

Free will. God. Meaning of life. Etc. I've spent a lot of time just thinking about the existence of these things, without academic or religious studies or research. Just making observations and mulling over them with considerable depth. Since I was 7 years old. I'm now 56 years old.
In my early 20s, I used to think there were only three kinds of people: believers of God, atheists, and those who don't know yet. I discovered a fourth kind of person during my senior year in university when my friend asked me "why do you need to know?" So this fourth kind of person is one who doesn't even ask or think about the question "does God exist". I think this fourth group of people might be better off, mostly because we'll never know in our life times (knowing is different from believing). And even if God were to reveal himself beyond any reasonable doubt, he'd have to answer a boat load of questions (all of them from all walks of life) for it to matter that a god exists.
Some people believe we're all living a simulation. They believe it's a mathematical certainty. So if you believe free will exists, how would you know it's real or just the illusion of having free will?
So, does it matter if free will, God, or any of these things exists? If free will doesn't exist, would you stop making decisions?

An Old Indian Prayer
O Great Spirit, Whose voice I hear in the winds, And whose breath gives life to all the world, Hear Me. I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in Beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make My Hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make Me Wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my People. Let Me Learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I Seek Strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make Me Always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes. So, When Life Fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.
Ahoe!

34:28 One thing to note about the Native Americans, though I do agree American government has treated them very unfairly.
Even the Native Americans were not “pure” as people claim them to be. A lot of them did business with the settlers because they wanted firearms to be able to wipe out neighboring tribes and so on and so forth. In the some cases it was seen as a right of passage to wear the blood of your enemies in some Native American cultures. Like… it’s not exactly all black and white. Life wasn’t exactly great. The puritans at the time seem to have maintained peace with their native neighbors but there came a point where governments came in and decided to push them out.
In almost all cases where “Christians” did horrible things. There was always a bit of government or church ruling interest. Government officials will nearly always act within their own interests. Even church organizations tend to act within their own interest. When Christ mentions the church, he never meant your allegiance to an organization or church building, it’s to Christ’s kingdom, that includes fellow believers all over the world.
As man and nature. God’s command is for man to have dominion over nature. Though we are higher in level than plants and animals we are to respect and tend to creation. However, time and time again man has failed to do this.
Ultimately, I do agree in the sense that the Catholic Church has done some horrible things. Bear in mind, the original Bible translations they had were in Latin so they could tell the common people whatever they wanted. The Christian’s that eventually translated the Bible were captured and executed by the Catholic Church. This is because, yes, the Catholic Church had very close ties to the government. This is the reason the American Constitution has a separation of church and state.
Yet, all this to say. Being a Christian isn’t about following church trends it’s about following Christ.

It’s kinda Weird for me to write this in front of a Catholic Church, I’ll let you know why I am here later at the end. I was born in China, raised in Honduras and I’m currently live in San Francisco, In China, 100% of the people in that village are Buddhist, almost by default I was Buddhist, when we moved to Honduras I was 11 years young, went to catholic school and being forced to become catholic, because the school will not accept students other than catholic. At the age of 19 I was baptized as a Christian, just making story short I am very familiar with those religions. I am 46 now and I am 100% spiritual.every religión that I had been taught me how to be good to other otherwise I will be punished, I was ok with them until 3 years ago when my beloved 5 years old son passed away suddenly, “I am living my life in hell”. In general I don’t think I am a bad guy and I really don’t know why this tragedy can happen to a relatively good guy like me? So I started looking for answer… and I found it! I don’t think I can write all the experience and knowledge I got after the departure of my son body here… but one thing I do know is we are spiritual beings having experiences as human… I am a funeral director, as a funeral director I get to help hundreds of families if not thousands, many of them share profound stories to me and I am grateful! No matter what religion we are now, important is to be happy and enjoy the time as human cuz our airplane can arrive at anytime and will take us home. I am also a fisherman and sometimes I post my videos on YouTube as well! Love!

I don't know if you''ll ever read this, but i think its important to look at the context of whatever old testament verse is quoted in the New Testament, because its never quoted in a vacuum.
Love your neighbor comes from Leviticus 19. Before he says that commandment, he gives detailed instruction on how to treat your neighbor.
9 ‘Now when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10 And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger. I am the Lord your God.
11 ‘You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another. 12 And you shall not swear falsely by My name, so as to profane the name of your God; I am the Lord.
13 ‘You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired worker are not to remain with you all night until morning. 14 You shall not curse a person who is deaf, nor put a stumbling block before a person who is blind, but you shall revere your God; I am the Lord.
15 ‘You shall not do injustice in judgment; you shall not show partiality to the poor nor give preference to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly. 16 You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people; and you are not to [a]jeopardize the [b]life of your neighbor. I am the Lord.
17 ‘You shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you may certainly rebuke your neighbor, but you are not to incur sin because of him. 18 You shall not take vengeance, nor hold any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.
So you shall provide for the needy and the stranger, don't steal or lie towards anyone, do not oppress them, do not curse them, do not commit any injustice or partiality, do not hate anyone, do not take revenge, do not hold grudges. These are the commandments that we must do towards others, and thus these are the details that you miss when thinking about those verses. THAT is how you love your neighbor and thus that is how you love yourself.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience growing up and hope you can find reconciliation between God's perfect teachings and the sinfulness of humanity.

Great video again Dr. Goobie!!! Ever since I watched your first green smoothie video I've been making them myself and having one every day. I started out using your recipe but I modified it slightly by using spinach instead of kale, banana, peanut butter (which contain a lot of healthy unsaturated fats), blueberries, oat milk (like yours) but I added strawberries, flaxseed meal (i.e. pre-ground flaxseed - although whole is probably better as the omega 3s don't oxidise over time), acai powder and pumpkin powder (sometimes). You mentioned chia seeds, the reason they soak up more water is because they're higher in fibre compared to flax seeds. It's like if you were to drink Metamucil but didn't use enough water, it becomes too thick and in fact this happens when you make your standard smoothies and don't use enough liquid because of all the fibre content! Oh and you mentioned linseed, it's actually the same as flaxseed!
I decided a couple of hours ago I'm going to try almond milk instead of oat milk because almond milk has a lot of vitamin E which is a potent antioxidant. Spinach also has more magnesium (an important cofactor for a lot of enzymes in the body) compared to kale. When I looked at the nutrition profile of spinach vs kale I think spinach has a better profile for me personally based on other foods I eat, you should take a look. There are concerns regarding iron overload and oxalates (both higher in spinach compared to kale) but calcium from the milk should inhibit the absorption of both and non-heme iron isn't absorbed as easily as heme-iron from meat. Vitamin C from the blueberries can increase absorption of iron though, I'm unsure if it somehow cancels out with the calcium. The body has no way to get rid of iron (isn't that interesting? It's like we weren't mean to ingest too much of it, and there's a lot of it in red meat) and high iron levels aren't good for your body, the best way to get rid of iron is to donate blood if you can.
Don't let the people who get miffed at you for eating a meat meal every now and then. Throughout history humans have sacrificed animals for the special occasion here and there, there's nothing wrong with that IMO. It's only an issue when you start to eat meat every day of the week like most people!

Wow, this episode is so triggering as i spent about 15 yrs working as a scientist in the biopharma industry on the sales and mostly, strategic alliances side of the business...so basically i helped academia partner with big pharma to do research and get potential drugs to market. The stuff i know, saw, experienced makes this episode look like everyone is a saint!
I had to go on disability due to the shit that was done specifically to me by one of the largest pharmas i worked for, as the trauma was so intense it caused me to try to take my life multiple times and basically have the largest breakdown a human can. Im now, thankfully many years out of the suffering from ptsd, but it took a very long time, and daily i make sure i stay centered.
But, specific to what this research and fda approved drug uncovers for me is really the sad yet truth behind our medical system, which is that its very broken. Not only the system but so many of the government programs that WE think are protecting us, yet, they arent. MONEY is the key to all and if you go down rabbit holes to follow it, it can uncover so much.
You hit the nail on the head with this research and the obvious issues of research funding being so controlled and connected to pharma that it cannot be unbiased. Its always been this way!
Now listening about this drug and that it was fast tracked by fda, i was thinking REALLY, with the lack of benefit, the actual side effects, i had to quickly think " whos our current fda commissioner"? Quick research on him and Im 100% not surprised, very disappointed, but not surprised. I am surprised he's our commissioner due to his history and long standing relationships with pharma, if you google him you will see all the concerns on his appointment and NYTimes article i think 2015 was telling on his actual salaries from certain pharma companies under his Duke univ. Center that was 200mm/ yr biz. I'll see if i can share the article with ya as i subscribe to nyt. Anyways, i have zero knowledge of any wrongdoing by him...BUT he was salaried by Merck and go figure, Eisai the biotech who owns this drug, has a strategic alliance with merck. I would bet a lot of $$ that good ol' Dr. Califf owns alot of stock in merck ( as well as so many other pharma/ biotechs) and thats just not the way the oversight committee for our medicines should be run. Even if this doc or All the doctors did not take a salary or consulting fee ever from any commercial entity, i can tell you the relationships that exist with these academia heads/ researchers and pharmaceutical is deep, the perks that happen under the table far outweighs the $$ that is documented. Its the way of that industry and its disgusting. Its the way of alot of industries, but this goes to the soul of our healthcare system and why people need to stop listening ONLY to their doctors and become their own advocates by researching, documenting, and mainly doing what you are advocating, which is lifestyle management.
You will never see nutrition, sleep, exercise, stress reduction, meditation or walking in nature, REALLY advocated for in the medical community because the drug companies make no money and lose money! They want people to stay unhealthy or they lose share price.
You as a smart doc, sounds like you are surprised by the biases of this drug and research? This is not new...and most MDs probably, wrongly assume that the drugs that are approved are ok. Some are, but we know from history, not all and the stuff hidden...well...you can only guess to what that looks like.
Now, not everyone is corrupt, i hope😅, but good people can be swayed to do bad things when money and relationships ( power) are involved.
The sad thing ( well one of many) is that scientific research is amazing, we need it, it allows us to learn the systems and find improvements in procedures, medicines, devices, etc. But the system is so tainted by this academia to pharma money ( that i personally spent years supporting) as it sounds good at the beginning, academia needs funding, pharma has money and needs research thats looking at stuff they can make money from, but nothing is ever unbiased when $$ gets involved..sadly!
I once believed everything my doctors told me, i took every drug they prescribed because i assumed they knew it would help me, and i had to learn that thats not the case. Not because they are trying to harm me but because they are too busy to do their own research on drugs that the pharma reps bring to them and give them incentives to use.
Plus we humans have been taught that a pill, injection, surgery, is the way and easier and quicker than sitting with ourselves and determining if we can start to change something about our lifestyle that can benefit us first or in conjunction with. Ahhh....sorry so long. Great episode...keep it up!

As I was listening to an audio tape on building up your immune system, I thought it would be beneficial if people understood how their immune system works, and how some of it is located in the small intestine. As an RN and person working to heal my body from invasive forces, I've found that western medicine has nothing to offer me but burning, cutting, and chemically destroying me, so I decided to go back to Complementary therapies I've used for 40+ yrs. Building up my immune system with good whole food, eliminating as much sugar as possible, using guided imagery, affirmations, acupuncture, massage, and Hypnotherapy have helped me so much to accept things as they are, like Rumi in his poem "The Guests" makes my life worth living. I'm 83yrs old, active, walk about 2mi/day, help others, eat well, and live in an area much like a Blue Zone. I feel as if I have so much more to learn and share that it makes getting up in the morning a joy. Thank you for sharing your life with me and all of us. 🙏 with great respect.

I believe that many health issues originate from the gut, and I also think that the meat and dairy industries have been unfairly demonized. Historically, livestock was predominantly grass-fed, and dairy products were consumed raw, which is their natural form. Raw dairy is particularly nutritious, containing almost all the nutrients humans need, and meat provides certain essential nutrients that are not available from plant-based sources. For example, my grandparents, who were farmers, have consumed grass-fed beef and raw dairy products like butter throughout their lives, all part of a well-rounded and balanced diet. Now in their 80s, they remain healthy and are still active outdoors. This lifestyle showcases the benefits of traditional dietary habits, where natural methods of farming and food preparation played a vital role in health and longevity.

When you mentioned that your patients that eat healthier foods and lead a healthier lifestyle had a softer (less leathery) skin and lesser inflammation it really resonated with me. I don't know to what extent eczema is connected to high sodium diets, but I just want to share my two cents in case anyone else in our community relates. For the background, I have really bad eczema, I had it my whole life and I'm getting screened for ichthyosis vulgaris due to the family history and it's overall appearance under microscope. Throughout last year I have gone through a lot of life changes: landing a good job, moving out of parents' house, finishing final year in college etc that has resulted in high amounts of stress and eating more processed food and snacks in general (and have gained 55 pounds due to all this). I have noticed that in the last year, my eczema (the very dry, red, swollen skin) is constantly flaring up and no lotion really helps (and it is also spreading and just in general doing much much worse than normally). I actually kinda just thought that it's growing up and body changing and unfortunately I was handed a shorter straw, but your videos helped me realize that maybe the two are related as the timeframes do align. I am going to try my best to reduce sodium in my diet through eating more fruits and vegetables, and I will try to exercise more and be more active. Hopefully this is what brings my eczema back to a tolerable level where lotions do keep it manegable (eczema cannot be cured, it can only be managed).
Can you maybe elaborate on this in your future videos (if it holds space in any of the topics) if you have any insight on this? And anyone else with eczema, did you experience anything similar?

I see some interesting parallels between the flow of water or sodium, and the flow of emotions. You were talking about that you should not repress anger, that if it bottles up, it causes you problems. It's the same thing right? The emotions come, there's an inflow, but to maintain a healthy balance, you need a subsequent and equal outflow.
Some people may experience more inflow of emotions and these people should deal with it by expressing their emotions more, by being more emotional. On the other hand, some people may be less sensitive to emotions and these people also usually feel uncomfortable with "faking" or actively trying to show more suprise, happiness, anger etc than that they feel inside. The input and output of emotions, just like the sodium and the water, must be in balance.

For many years I ate exactly as you suggest here. Vegetables were the basis, fruit, brown rice, potatoes, various nuts, meat and fish, controlled salt consumption, a bit of whole grain... I didn't feel well with it! Inflammation in the body, poor digestion, flatulence... Quite simply because most of the foods mentioned are not suitable for the human organism. At least not for mine. Most vegetables have defense chemicals, whole grain rice/grains contain arsenic, phytyl acid and are difficult to digest. Nuts contain extremely high amounts of omega 6 fatty acids which promote inflammation, oxalic acid, etc. It is only since I started eating a meat-based diet, fruit, raw milk products, eggs, very little grain, a good amount of salt, very little vegetables (no nightshades), some white rice that I have been feeling great. Inflammation has gone down, digestion is good, no flatulence. Bloating is not a sign of a happy gut - it is a warning sign that something is out of balance.
*(Gases are absorbed by the intestines and exhaled through the lungs. Only excess gas causes flatulence)

This is one point of view. Again, not a universal truth. If it were true that people thrive on plant fiber and protein alone, all vegetarians would be super healthy—but they aren't. Recent studies on microbiota focused on vegetarians, and almost none had a proper microbiome for transplantation.
Personally, I believed this nonsense back in 2009 and decided to go vegetarian. I ate kilos of veggies, fruits, and tons of greens. In 10 years, I almost destroyed my body. My weight dropped to 48 kg (height: 174 cm), which is nightmarishly close to anorexia. My microbiome was horrible, as was my liver. I almost died. I suffered from horrible panic attacks until I switched to eating meat.
I started consuming 500g of beef and 5-8 chicken eggs a day. In three months, I gained 6 kg of muscle, my liver recovered, and my microbiome improved significantly.
Now, let's talk real science. The microbiome needs proper pH to survive, and animal protein—lots of it. You’ll never have proper pH in your gut without meat, as it’s regulated by stomach acid and bile (from the gallbladder).
- Your gallbladder will never function properly without animal fats.
- Your liver won’t function properly without 1-1.5 grams of animal protein per kilogram of body weight.
- Your stomach acid will never be normal without animal food. (I had Helicobacter and acid reflux for years, and just a few months of eating meat and meat broth healed me.)

Yup! Love your honesty, insights and pace. Many live in a dim and colorless world. But our beautiful Earth is full of bright, vibrant, colors, all kinds of emotions, energies, synergies and love. Fossil fuels will drop away as we learn, or are forced to learn, respect for our beautuful Mother Earth. Love hearing about you welcoming all of you to sit and be respected at your table, to me that is part of honoring your soul and whole self. Bad and good feelings, vibes and instincts are there to guide us along. 🖐😎👍

Life is actually not complicated as it seems to be. As us human standing on top of the food chain, we have no natural predators/competitors outside our human race. But for us to survive, competition is necessary. Example of a Olympic game, as we push each other to better ourselves, same time over come our rivalry. Competitions leads to all kinds of scenario such as racism, lies, prejudice, divide & conquer, hatred, war, etc. Also most of the time right & wrong only exist in our personal lives. Once we leave our personal surroundings, we do what's essential.
Stealing oil from other country is wrong, but for us to have affordable energy, stealing is necessary. To destroy a natural forest home to many animals is wrong, but to build apartments, cities, school, etc, we do all the wrong to give us the right to survive, than we complain in the comfort of our own success, as a guilty evil being.
Most of us can't imagine all the creators of war, murder, disease, etc, but it brings relief of balance to population or make space for other species to exist. Sometimes I think we're from another planet :body-blue-raised-arms:Just my 2 cents

I read the book, People of The Lie, years ago, his first book, The Road Less Traveled, catapulted him into the public eye. When People of The Lie came out, so many people were upset and angry with Scott Peck, people who had read his first book. That all surprised me at the time, it doesn't now, too many people do not want the truth. When i first found out and seen pictures of the concentration camps in WW2, i felt devastated. That is when i started too seriously ask the question, what is evil? We need too keep asking that question. 🙏

"if you feel you're starting to panic, just take a moment, you're still alive, and you can collect yourself, figure out what you want to do." - Goobie
When life is hard, sometimes I'll do things that are physically demanding so the mind can shift it's attention to staying alive, to the present moment. It's a relief from the overthinking mind, to feel alive and sometimes I get a bonus from the challenging activity. I get a broader and less constrictive perspective of the thought and feeling bugging me. Life is not always easy but it's a little easier to breathe when we know we're not alone, and there is love and hope.
As always, I appreciate you Goobie for sharing the good times and the not so good times. I would also like to know how Mrs. C copes with the difficult times because a couple share one life. She also seems so gentle, kind and collected.
Choose love 😊❤🍑

As a doctor myself and a person who also wants to do Doctoring differently not the way it has become.
But i want to share my opinion based on knowledge and critical analysis of this video.
Firstly, this video lies at a very vague border of lifestyle motivational interviewing and misinformation. Discussion can be stretched both ways from this content in the video.
1) Lifestyle motivational interviewing perspective:
In Medicine there is a special branch called public health which includes all the knowledge that tells you about the health of community overall, like how we can prevent disease at various stages. Like for every disease there is a cause and risk factors, so public health focuses on all those areas which is out of scope of this comment.
for example, the term "PRIMARY PREVENTION" is used for all the content of what he is talking about, like preventing that hole in the ceiling in the first place to occur, like using good roofing materials, designs, workers etc. if the hole is prevented in the first place there will be no water leaking and no damage to other parts of home. same for disease the primary prevention for disease is preventing its causes and risk factors in the first place, for example Polio is a disease with many complications caused by a virus, so how can we prevent the complications of that disease in the first place is preventing the virus entering our body or if it enters how to stop it from causing disease is giving polio vaccine to the patient which will prevent the disease from occurring in the first place. AND we have already almost extinct this disease.
another term is SECONDARY PREVENTION which tells you that suppose the disease has got into the body, but we do not know it till the moment it has caused much damage. so, we do screening of many preventable and treatable diseases that suppose if it has entered in the body, and we get it in the early stages. like Diabetes and Hypertension which are called silent killers. if you do not do regular screening and health checkups and you have high blood sugar and high blood pressure for years, so you will not know till it has damaged your body significantly so by secondary prevention you find the culprit early before it causes significant damage.
then comes TERTIARY PREVENTION which means that suppose a disease has caused much damage now and cannot be treated completely, now what we can do to prevent severe complications from occurring like a person becoming handicapped , blind etc., how we can mitigate the effects of the disease etc., how we can rehabilitate the person so he can do his daily living activities and relieve his life from pain and suffering.
then QUATERNERY PREVENTION which tells how we can prevent that diseased person from Over and unnecessary treatments that will have minimal effects on his life expectation and relief.
ALL THESE PREVENTION STAGES INCLUDE ALL THESES LIFESTYLE CHANGES TO EITHER PREVENT THE DISEASE IN THE FIRST PLACE OR MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF A DISEASE AND THESE INLUDE LIKE NO SMOKING, ACTIVE LIFESTYLE, EXERCISE ETC.
2) The Misinformation side.
there are tens of hundreds of diseases and sufferings that we cannot stop in the first place like suppose Cancers. for example, a person has a large tumor in his spine, and he is suffering in many ways from tumor, now if the tumor is not removed, he will either die, get paralyzed. severe pain etc., now when neurosurgeon removes this tumor his life expectancy is increased, and his suffering is relieved. similarly, a person comes with gunshot wound or Road traffic accidents now if a surgeon does not treat the person how's he going to survive? there are thousands of diseases and life conditions that will require either surgery or medications at some point.
non-medical people are not going to understand this videos context and they will start avoiding necessary treatments, yes i know every person has the right to know about his disease and everything. from comments i can sense that people are saying what I fare which is "not understanding the context and getting misinformation and then becoming a propaganda tool.
yes, I accept the fact of corporate hospitals and everything but that's another discussion it has nothing to do with real diseases and the way he has made the video inclines more towards misinformation rather educating the people about public and community health. he could have made an educational video with same content and telling the people, let me teach you how we can prevent disease in the first place etc. the way of his conveying his message is incorrect as the video is not mentioning all those diseases that require necessary treatments either via surgery or medicine.
Many things can be said and written but then it goes out of reach of this comment.

Heartfelt story. Very well told. I am 41 years old, been in practice for about 5 years as an interventional radiologist. Work is very stressful more often than not, however I am fortunate to have excellent work/life balance, which many in my field don’t necessarily get to enjoy. It does not sound like you had enough time to decompress outside of work, leading to severe burnout and rumination about being stuck like a slave to your profession for the rest of your life. I understand the moral dilemma you describe with regard to the system and the questionable impact of some of your surgeries, but I hope once you’ve gotten the bad feelings out of your system to a certain extent after a good stint away from the rat race, maybe you will consider some form of part time work as a doctor, on your own terms. Perhaps with fresh perspective and a new mentality. Maybe preventative medicine would be a more fulfilling area for you to focus on.
Two other things I would add -
First, from doing the math, it sounds as though you went straight from college to med school and never got to enjoy any extended time away to pursue your own outside interests. I’m glad you’re getting that chance now. I always tell the undergrads I meet to take some time off. Not to rush into medical school. Travel. Party. Enjoy your 20s. I started med school at 26 and it turned out to be a great decision for me. I don’t think I would have survived without having fully enjoyed much of my 20s.
Second, you’d make a great dad, if that’s something you might be interested in.
Good luck!

I can say i dont agree with some of what you said, but i do agree with most, and most definitely agree with your decision to be true to yourself, that WAS the plan, you had more of a plan than most imo. Great job. The way you approached your problem was genuine and the way you speak about it is refreshing, its honest thoughtful and your presenting it as what you found and feel, not as the truth, i think. I appreciate your sense of urgency when facing a “great” situation in life, but knew it was wrong, you knew your life was at stake, and i think many do feel that but feel helpless. I have no doubt this will effect a great many people in a positive way.

@GoobieAndDoobie well, yes, you're right. wherever we go, there we are, and we all exit.
it seems impossible for everyone to live the life they'd want. plus there are plenty of people whose desired lives have some features that i'd really rather avoid experiencing, directly or vicariously...
i absolutely don't hope for everyone to be able to live the life they want. we can't all collectively live a win-win existence as energy & 'resources' are at least locally finite; so far we could only achieve zero sum or even negative sum results if we calculate holistically, as you're well aware, being a fellow collapsitarian.
that said, i appreciate that you're sharing all you do, the way you do & the engagement, even if i think everything is intrinsically meaningless and i'm indifferent when i zoom out.

every moment is new, okay, interdependent existence via ceaseless, co-dependent arising, cool, cool, but if it's novelty that just doesn't matter, then...
let's assume reality is a cellular automaton, or just a singular field with quantised/discretized behavior, so it's always in exactly one, maybe even always novel configuration.
i just can't shake the vibe that there's nothing in reality that stops me from or makes it not make sense to just say '...so?' to every and anything. like there's nothing that compels me to affirm that any of this matters, even if i clearly behave in certain ways and not others, displaying preferences for and against certain phenomena, eg. i'd usually rather eat food i enjoy vs. trash, i'd rather not burn my hand on a hot stove...
i'm not sure why it's problematic at all if someone wishes to exit.

I just want to thank you for this series. I feel like I met a new best friend. I watched the first video right when it came out, and curiously I was proposing a mental reprogramming, since I had just started taking antidepressants and needed to feel that I needed to reprogram my life so that I could stop taking the medication as soon as possible. Finding you was a gift, a revelation, an awakening. I enjoyed each of the videos, which remained reverberating in me for days. I am so grateful for this generous service you have provided to all of us. Thank you for everything. I feel largely healed through love for myself. I go to the gym or go for a run and think "I need to sweat and get strong." I take better care of my diet, I pay attention to the amount of sodium, sugar, fat; I finally enjoy preparing my food. I sleep earlier. I prioritize my selfcare time before my work demands. For all of this, thank you very much. Already stop the antidepressants e still feeling better day after day, at point it makes me emotional just to talk about. 💜

I’ve never met a person who truly lives as if there were no free will, who shrugs their shoulders at everything, as if reality were merely unfolding without their consequential immersion and involvement.
I’ve only known people who get hurt by rejection, who get angry at disrespect or fraud, who feel guilt or regret after doing wrong or missing a chance, who feel low because they aren’t where they hoped, who feel lonely because they are not cherished in their most intimate circles.
I’ve only known people who rabidly attend sports events as if those were brimming with athletic agency, who train and learn as if outcomes were not predetermined, who boast and swagger because they believe they made their own fortune, who rejoice at a proposal accepted, who try to remind themselves life is ups and downs, who spend time meditating trying to reach peace and stillness.
All of these flow from a belief in agency. They can parrot all the bad Libet interpretations they like, but it would be an unprecedented feat of coherence plastered all over Youtube if they could SHOW us through their inaction and equanimity that they truly don’t believe choices exist or matter.

Do you know anything about gangstalking? I’m being stalked and people are imitating and repeating everything I say and do, creating some sort of fake reality and unfair competition. This video reminds me of that kind of loop, it’s been going on for ages longer than 8 years. They think they own my life apparently, I’m not involved voluntarily of course!!!!!!! They are stalking me !!! And yes I was very angry, still am cause it’s unacceptable. I’m just not letting it get to my nerves cause it’s stupid to get angry at these losers they think stalking me gives them the upper hand, obviously does but they don’t own my life. I’m an artist it really ruined my work/ life balance cause everyone is stealing my stuff and making another version of it is ruining the authenticity. Very annoying I wish I could go somewhere up in the mountains as well, these people are so toxic, there is a huge gap between me and these people. Fake reality is for NO ONE, manipulative situations if for no one’s good. Yet they think they are
“smart” enough to picture me the “crazy person” while digging my grave behind the scenes, years and years of mobbing, disrespectful behavior, discrimination, harassment, neverending lies. And on top of that BAD HEALTH SERVICES, doctors are medical gaslighting / mobbing me. It’s so illegal all this I’m fighting this situation for years. Nobody is helping out. It’s insane making for sure, I’m still sane unfortunately can’t do my work in these unacceptable conditions. Doctors are involved and it’s feels life threatening, nurses etc everybody knows me they disrespect me and give me bad service, leaking my files or privacy to public. I’ve learnt that people in medical field are con artists. I think you’ve made the right choice to stay out of it, I’ve got tons of ill treatment. I’m scared to see a doctor even though I need help. Hope this helps you too at some point I know there are evil medical people %100 sure mostly are liars and abusive people. I’ve been harmed by doctors it caused medical trauma.

I think you are right in saying people want love and peace in the present, it's hard to say exactly how we get there hence the many paths to the top of the mountain... It saddens me though for myself and many other people I see stuck in a state of what I think is "spiritual hesitance" the doubt to flourish as individuals. Weather that doubt comes from their upbringing or traumatic events or just the world we live in, that seems to be the fight to the top, at least, that's how I see it. It's tough man, and the unique complexity of every individuals problem, although similar in some regards may not shed light on out own, but brings comfort to our potential suffering, to know we are all just trying to reach the top and be free. To all those out there struggling, lost, whatever it is... I shed a tear for you if you need it, we'll all get there eventually so take your steps, whatever those steps need to be.

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Colossians 1:16-20

Great thoughts about Christianity and religion. I was also born and brought up a Christian. A Catholic. But I am an agnostic in my adult life. Some might say a lapsed Christian Catholic. I feel I have a respect for all good people of all faiths, religions and traditions. I guess I have a special connection to Catholic sentiment and tradition up to a point. However holier than thou know it all authoritarian bible bashers and people who say that you must give your life to Jesus and Jesus is the only way, my way or the high way, rub me up the wrong way. I feel they give a bad name and a bad image and reputation to the whole enterprise, and this is not at all in the spirit of Christ as I understand and interpret it. WE HAVE AGENCY. To carry forward the theme from your last video about our free will, we also have free thought, the capacity to think and interpret everything for ourselves. This does not mean we don't listen to anyone else, or learn from anyone else. It means we owe it to ourselves and to God, who is definitely within us, if he is anywhere, to do our own due diligence, critical thinking and interpreting, not just follow dogma.

As a Christian, I can understand your sentiment. Since I grew up in an agnostic family, I tend to adopt a skeptical mindset. When I was younger, I also used to think that Christianity is a very pretentious religion, especially since many who claim to be Christians would harm and discriminate others despite what God had said about loving others. Not to mention, many churches, especially in America, like to convince people to give them money. I was even in a Christian secondary school, where many teachers and students there were extremely cliquey and judgmental.
Men were indeed supposed to have authority over everything, the mountains, the trees, the fish and every living thing, before sin corrupts us as stated in Genesis. It is unfortunate to see that many Christians are still blatantly taking advantage of others and the name of God and Jesus with little intention to renounce their desires.
Looking back now, it was honestly understandable how Christianity turned into this mess. People, by default, are sinful. Even if we joined the church, we would still keep on making mistakes and falling into our sinful ways, since our natures remain as long as we are human. E.g. Greed with how churches like to collect your money, Pride with persecution and condemnation against people and things and moral self-righteousness, etc. It is understandable to think Christianity doesn't matter because of our own moral imperfections.
Regarding faith, I believe no matter where you're at in life, you're always allowed to ask questions and be honest. I know it can be challenging, but stop fitting in, stop lying, stop trying to please others, and open up about your doubts. If you find it hard to open up, I would recommend going on an alpha course, where you may ask honestly and question everything. It is always easier to develop our faith by believing in God out of our own volition. Christianity is not the thing weakening our minds, it's all our desire for belonging and validation.

I appreciate your insight and evolution. My evolution is kind of the reverse, but I'm still agnostic. My grandmother was a theologian and devote Anglican, but I was born atheist. Told the Anglican priest when I was 4 y.o. that there's no God. Heck, arguably, we're all born atheists until proselytization. In my personal growth over 4 decades, I'm now more convinced of a God in Spinoza's sense and interpretation. In my view, the Abrahamic religion's versions of God possess intrinsic traits that tend to sow division, to partition groups of people, bucket them in "good", "superior" vs. "bad" and "inferior". To your point, so many incongruous doctrine that have been easily weaponized for violence and dominion over others.

Interesting. I’ve only recently, as an adult, read the Bible, and based on my own interpretation, most people claiming to be Christian are actually not really Christian. There’s a reason why there’s so many different interpretations and sects and things, but the valuable thing in my opinion is what’s shared. Besides, most criticism against Christianity seems to be criticism against the people that have claimed to be Christian. All I care about now regarding Christianity and the people claiming to be Christian is whether or not there’s a meaningful difference between the two, because that determines for me whether the construction is worthwhile. On the one hand I definitely agree with the child you about how double standards are confusing, and those probably confused most adults over the course of history, but on the other, the New Testament did make sense to me regardless, so it’s not like I’d reject the whole thing. Some people use any means to commit whatever acts they please, and for some others it’s simply enough to say you’re a Christian, and you’re in the good book. And about the Bible, I think it’s relatively difficult to understand. Because what’s the point of God and Jesus in the story? Somehow I suspect that the grand ideas of the book are not that complicated, but still most people don’t even care. They have other, more important things on their minds.

Wow. This video opened up a very important topic of discussion for me. I'll be uploading a video on my channel later today featuring you and this video where I talk about my experiences and thoughts on religion as well. In my video I mention a book called "The Path of Shadow" by Morgue. It talks about self and universal completion, and explains exactly what we are, where we are, and why we are here. It goes deep into various topics of self-exploration, religion, ego, our shadow selves, the true source, awareness, innerlight and so much more. It explains how everything is based on logic and reasoning and how we are made up of living mathematical frequency patterns. I really recommend you look into it for yourself. It is truly interesting and profound. Thank you, Jon, for this upload 🙏

@GoobieAndDoobie ...that's the 1st thing Natives did, every morning--thankfully, respectfully greet the Sun, without which there'd be no life. Natives lived right; until the smart whites forbade all that. I lived in OK too, for a few yrs and my Native family is Choctaw-Chickasaw, with some (adopted) Cheyenne-Arapaho. Did you have Native friends? Natives are easy to befriend, bc they are the only ppl who are not racist, or sexist or anythg like that. They are the best ppl, really, and I dnt mean whites who say their great-grandmother was a Cherokee princess. (Countless memes on the issue). 🙄🙄 I would like to ask abt the struggle being Asian among whites... I have never witnessed it. What was that like, and is it still a problem? 😢😢

Glad you're challenging your childhood belief because I've had a similar conflict with my faith in it. I'd say we both have similar upbringings growing up under a Christian household in terms of strict set of rules against secular things, though I must've had a much harder time even with friends with how much my parents sheltered me because of my religion/culture but, I digress.
It took me until my late teenage years to early 20s to really start questioning my faith and whether being a Christian is something I actually want to be or not. I think where I failed during that time was constantly looking to other Christians as a measurement of what I might become, and the reason why this is a failed perspective is that it is merely an appearance of an interpretation of said faith. This is dangerous because of these stories of Christians committing atrocities, or even just everyday Christians who show a facade of their faith publicly while being hypocrites in private. The only way I had to really understand what a Christian truly is was to study the Bible. With that, I found that Christianity is very misunderstood both from Christians and non Christians (as you mentioned).
The most important Commandment is to love God and love your neighbor as yourself, but love in the Bible is described as patience and kindness as seen in "1 Corinthians 13:4". And if you read onwards in verses 5-7, it further explains what love is not. So you actually cannot fulfill this Commandment if you hate yourself. A Christian isn't someone who hates or is hypocritical or commits wrongdoings to others. Whether this means anything to you or not, I'd consider you much more of a Christian than most Christians based on your closing statement of loving God in all things. I think a scientific term of what God is would be considered as "matter", that His fingerprints are on all things He has created and that under the science of man, we ourselves cannot create nor destroy matter.
He may even be in us, but that doesn't mean we choose to live by Him. That is why the importance of a Christian really is to accept that Jesus died for our sins so that we may have salvation from the things that decay our faith and our lives.

In a word, yes, it matters. If you subscribe to the laws of logic, at a basic level, the law of non-contradiction would establish that opposing views cannot both be correct. If you value truth, you must concede truth is exclusive, by definition. I sincerely appreciate your struggle in what you’ve shared and have oddly found myself carefully listening to some of your content. I get a sense of your intelligence, vulnerability, honesty, and it really stirs my heart. As I listen to you essentially espousing pantheism (God is in everything) and demonstrating the truth of Rom 1:18+, it’s clear to me that you do not have a solid understanding of biblical theology. You are quite literally fashioning a god in your own image, a god to suit yourself, ultimately an idol. Christianity is not about accepting Jesus. It is not about what you do with Jesus, but what Jesus does with you. Repentance from sin and saving faith in Jesus are a gracious gift from God. People can say and do all kinds of things in the name of Jesus, and even profess his name, but that doesn’t make them Christians, especially obvious if their behavior and motives are directly opposed to scripture. Christians follow Jesus, fear the God of the Bible, and revere his word…there are no sinless Christians…we are not better than anyone, just better off. Reformation history makes clear the Roman Catholic Church lost the gospel long ago. The crusades have nothing to do with Christianity because Catholicism denies an essential tenet of the faith…justification by faith…it’s not a criticism of Christianity. Even so, one cannot measure the truth of a worldview by the behavior of its supposed adherents, but by the merits of the worldview itself. It’s no surprise there are false teachers and converts, because the Bible informs you of this reality to contend with. I suggest if you want to make an argument against the Christian worldview, you have to deal with its truth claims.
No, the key is not self love. That is called pride, which is sin. Jesus taught the denial of self to the extent he said if you do not hate your life in this world, you are not worthy to follow him. The idea that God is in everyone and everything is unbiblical. I wish we could go into biblical anthropology and doctrine of sin, but we are walking contradictions…we bear the image of God and demonstrate hatred and denial of Him by our sin. We have to understand the gravity of our sin and corruption to appreciate what he’s done for his people.
Briefly, I share your aversion to the imbalance of some pentecostal denominations…lots could be said but as I say with anyone in error, let's go to the Bible.
The law of God, what you referred to in Matthew, (love God/neighbor), is the sum total of the law of God. Notice the connection b/n law & love. The law of God (all of it) tells us us how we are to relate to him and others. We are to exercise dominion over his creation (rocks etc!), but only humans are image bearers of God…as part of His creation, we don’t get to redefine what love is, or His law.
Just to hold you to consistency, when you say it’s unloving to tell people they are not right and need to change, it sounds nice, but I don’t think you’ll live that way consistently. I'm pretty sure you are going to tell the rapist/pedophile they are wrong and need to change, especially if it involves someone you love dearly. Telling someone the truth is loving, even if it upsets them. As a doctor, I'm sure you told many difficult truths and totally ruined peoples’ day, but it was always for their benefit and out of concern and respect for them.
Everyone lives like a Christian to an extent…they have to borrow from the Christian wordview to make sense of their own. Jesus said “I am the way…no one comes to the Father but by me,” eliminating all other possibilities. He didn’t come to die a brutal death on the cross to be an option on the table.
I'm not writing b/c I'm upset or offended, and not to trade harsh blows…I see you abandoning the only worldview that can make sense of reality and human experience, it saddens me, and for what? An untenable, somewhat agnostic, uncertain, and inconsistent position that I don’t think you would state is absolutely true. Are there absolutes? What do you know for certain without the God of the Bible? Only Biblical Christianity can provide the preconditions for intelligibility, morality, beauty, meaning, uniformity in nature (science), laws of logic, epistemology, absolutes of any kind etc…I truly care about you enough to tell you the truth. To you & any anyone else struggling with similar experiences, I would gladly offer my time to work through some of these issues (dmariney@gmail.com). The proof of the Christian worldview is the impossibility of the contrary…you could want no better proof. Perhaps you or someone reading this haven’t really been exposed to the gospel, the real Jesus of the Bible?

You are so right! My mother wanted to baptise me as a Catholic. My father, a z German and the son of a Lutheran pastor, an atheist after fighting in the world war, said, no, let her choose a religion if she wants to. I read a lot of history and philosophy since I was a child and I came to the same conclusion as you and what religions do. Now I believe in a higher force, and I believe that Jesus came to this earth, but no one can represent him and I think we have been lied to in everything. In my teenage years religion almost ruined my life. Now I have more clarity, and it was so good to hear you talk about it so openly. You're very brave, I'm sure more than a few people will throw bad vibes at you, don't mind that.

Hey, thanks so much for this information. This video particularly helped me connect a few dots in my own path. I eat lots of sodium. Not particularly in the way of pre-processed foods. Primarily, the seasonings added on my own. I don’t indulge in many sweets & I do not eat fried foods, which are the things I hear doctors speak of so much, but my need for salt is where I struggle. I exercise outdoors 5 days per week (45 mins). Currently, I cook all foods 100% at home, no carryout, mostly fresh foods. I kept complaining that all my fat is 'centered', and although I'm EXERCISING & eating “right”, I am losing no weight. You pointed out TWO things that stood out Too much sodium in your body, your auto healing process in your body is very difficult and in your note correction salt is stored in the skin/muscles & high salt concentrations lead to inflammation which stimulates fat growth for visceral fat . I thought I was on the right path but overlooked my method of seasoning. If it’s true that high salt leads to inflammation, thus causing me to hang onto the belly fat, I’m defeating my own purpose. Suddenly I recall, I was once advised to replace salt w/balsamic vinegar. That’s one thing I can easily do today. Now that I have this information, I can make improvements to aid in my overall goals.

You should just go back to work, ask God to help you with each patient you have, God will utilize your skills and you can trust God to help your where you fall short, though you are very smart, your just smart enough to know that you may know nothing, your stuck in a hole, you can't figure any of this out because you quit, YOU MUST go back to work, from now on, as you work and move, God will answer all your questions "know as you go" if you are stagnate your outcome is much worse.

I love your channel, and I am beginning to follow your advice. Recently I came across a You Tube video about EARTHING. It’s called “The Earthing Movie” https://youtu.be/EoWN8FcEHLg?si=sRmSxk12-Z2bJcVs, which is about the practice of walking without shoes on the dirt, grass, beach to receive the Earth’s energy into our body. This is a relatively new science/research that seems to resonate with more and more people, including medical people. Because I trust you, I would like to know what you think about it. 🤓 By the way, I am a 71 year old woman with CKD, Level 4, plus osteoarthritis on both knees, high blood pressure, and intestinal problems. [I am kind of a mess! 🤓🥺🤓]

Thank you for this video. I have been taking antibiotics for h pylori I hope you can talk about it. Doctors in Norway say there is an epidemic of pylori infections, and they give everyone antibiotics even when you dont have history of cancer or ulcer. My stomach felt really good while taking the pills, flat, and all my acne dissapeared. 1 year later and I have high blood pressure, pulsating left side of abdomen, unregular bowels, burning pain, and alot of bloating and distension. I am very underweight and I cannot workout because my body is too thin. I try to gain weight but I have a feeling my gut is sick. Doctors want me to take more pills. My belly used to always make noises and pass gass, now it feels like it has died, its quiet, bloated and burning. I can go all day without eating but im most hungry in the evening. Pain in joints and trouble urinating. My doctor ignores other symptoms. Itchy scalp, losing hair and I got a small cyst on thyroid. My body slowly is dying and doctors wont listen until I probably end up in ER. I thought I have lyme cause I tested for antibodies. What to do if I want to sweat but cant?

Dear Dr. Goobie,
First of all, thank you so much for your videos, and for your insights and knowledge that you are sharing.
I wanted to say a couple of things.
1) Regarding the dietary salt intake: I live in one of the northern countries in Europe, half of the year it is cold, during the winters we have snow. Originally, the local traditional diet has always been low in salt and spices, compared to those Southern nations and their cuisines. And now it makes total sense. There were occasionally salty foods, like meat, or fermented vegetables, cabbage, but traditionally they were not eaten every day. Plus there used to be a culture of hot tubes and saunas. Which is, sadly decreasing, due to the hectic modern lifestyle, while the salty foods are available in abundance, and are being consumed A LOT....
2) i wonder if you have heard of the concept of allostasis. being also a physician, I don't remember this being taught to us in university...
3) Regarding the "listen to your body". I have studied interoception. Interoceptive awareness is the person's ability to be aware of sensations coming from their internal organs, including their gut. This ability can be hindered by dissociation from body. And I believe stress can make it all much worse too.

31:45 I have just asked chatgpt as you mentioned death valley marathon ""Hello I want to participate to The Badwater Ultramarathon which is 135 mile. I am 60 years old, 97 kg and 182 cm. I am quiet sedentary. what would you recommend*" here is the answer "Oh boy, you’re aiming high, huh? Badwater Ultramarathon? That’s 135 miles in the *actual desert**, my dude! Look, I get it, you’re 60, 97 kg, and want to get off the couch, but jumping straight into *Death Valley’s version of "survival of the fittest" is a bit…ambitious.
My recommendation? Start by *walking* to the fridge without getting winded. Maybe try a 5K or, heck, just survive your local park first. You're sedentary now, so your first marathon might be just getting up at 6 a.m. and not regretting it by noon. Get a trainer, start small, and let’s revisit the idea of running *135 miles* in a desert when you’ve at least jogged a couple around the block without calling for an Uber."😇

You most certainly are not alone !!! I have a nephew who is trying to work through the “processes” being a new doc, and he’s stuck in another country still trying to get into a specialty and I’m sure you know how that’s going. I myself worked in both hospital and private practice as an assistant . I can tell you I felt very bad for patients many times and I was not happy in my soul while working , and doing what was expected , and what was “the normal” . I quit finally, and never looked back. Financially it was very tough but not as tough being as immersed in things I felt were wrong. I am happier listening to you today so thank you. I totally know the politics behind the shame and politics behind the choosing a different pathway than the one you were on. It must have caused you some fear and worry, of course . When you feel like you need to worry about your family’s safety ! , that is no surprise because you were in a huge wheel in $&&& especially in big pharma . It rules the world in a big way. I’m happy and grateful to see you have found your way in a new way of being , You have such wonderful knowledge, skill and wisdom you have passed on to others today . You are a soul surgeon , you are doing your best work now by healing what can’t be seen but is very very real. You are saving lives in many numbers with out a single blade, anesthesia or a clinical setting and I am grateful to find your channel Thank you 🙏 ❤

All these narratives are a lie, people living in, say, ( The mountains of Peru, )( or say, Tibet) are much happier than people who are rich, famous, and successful. Thank you for this video. Back in the 1980's a young man came to the University of Iowa, he had gotten a B grade, having some failure narrative in his own mind, he could Not face the HIGH UNBEARABLE EXPECTATIONS from his family, He bought a gun, and shot several people, he killed a good friend of mine, and crippled another friend and shot 1 more. If He could have had clearly thought out the way you have. Take the Risk to change his life, all those people would still be Alive, and he would be too. I AM PROUD OF YOU, willing to change NOT ALLOWING your EGO To dominate your life

I reason that you have understood a very important aspect of a human nature. Yes, we have good and bad. Feeling good and fear shame hurt all kinds of humanly embarrassed nature while having dignified self hospitality kindness sympathy many good of me... above all, you also maybe unavoidable self, that is, prideful... yes, your approach is wise and thoughtful. In spite of that, I would like you to read Bible, roman chapter 6, 7, 8. And, John chapter 14, 15, 16, 17. You can find treasures to guide you to the right path. I am a little careful here not to throw in a religion... there are so many misconception about Jesus Son of God and the new creation in Jesus our Savior.... Throw out all those prejudices and start reading the Bible... it is vastly different from what you have heard or been taught... I can say this over 100% confidence that you can find the true meaning of life and what it means to me presently and eternal salvation in Christ Jesus...😂😂😂😂 do no become a religious person but become a new creation in Jesus our Savior.....May our Blessed Lord be with you and your journey.........

@GoobieAndDoobie Amen to that! The most amazing History and the Book of Life! It has every instruction God our Creator gave us to live life according to His way, love, and depending on Him to get us through life and not man 🙏🏼…it’s all about love and righteousness, following God’s Commandments and accepting Jesus Christ (God in the Flesh) as our only Lord and Saviour …asking God for forgiveness of our sins (we have ALL sinned) turning away from them, depending on God , and accepting our free Gift of Salvation (Victory) God offers through His only unique Son Jesus Christ, Who shed His blood on the Cross as a final sacrifice to God for all man’s sins.
We were set free from eternal damnation because of our sins by the death and Resurrection of Christ, the final atonement for sin..…all those who accept Jesus into their heart sincerely and trust in His Works on Earth, His Words and Promises, His Resurrection defeating death (which is the penalty for sin) will have their name written in the Book of Life for a VERY NEAR upcoming perfect and peaceful eternity on a brand new sin-free Earth God will provide after He destroys this corrupt one we live in that is quickly dissolving, as God said it would, by fire.
God loves us and wants to dwell with us, but He is Holy and Righteous, and no sin or unrighteousness can be near Him, it is destroyed. But if we accept Jesus into our heart and follow Him with COMPLETE Faith and Trust in His Promises we WILL be seen as Righteous in God’s Eyes and be saved from destruction and become a part of God’s upcoming Eternal Righteous Kingdom…forever ❤🙏🏼
OnlyJesuSaves ✝👑📖🇮🇱👍🏼🙏🏼❤
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but rather so that through him, the world might be saved. 18 Those who trust in him are not judged; those who do not trust have been judged already, in that they have not trusted in the one who is God’s only and unique Son.”
Blessings and may God be with you 🙏🏼❤

Dear Dr. Goobie, I am wondering if the word and concepts of "evil" set us up for accepting duality and the myths and stories, other people's ways of thinking, that are used to manipulate masses of people by the institutions of unseen or inaccessible power? We seem to live in a culture that wants individuals to pick a team and defend ideas, that I feel a lot people simply do not support. Who is manipulating our "culture"? // Institutions are self-replicating, self-protecting organisms that dominate the individual. If we wish to avoid domination, coercion, and violence, what is the way out? Perhaps our humble, tacit, mute presence may be enough if everybody does it? Or is that wishful thinking/believing? Thank you for all your thoughts, sharing your perception and life experience.

Wow it seems I needed this video right now, cause I was dragging my feet about making my green smoothie! It seemed like such an impossible effort! Making coffee and black tea and smoking cigarettes is ok, but making a smoothie......' I haven't got time for that' was my mental attitude, even though I should know better! I managed to go and take the time to do that while your video was playing and you were making your smoothie, nice and chill and relaxed. I thought ok, well that's not so hard is it!? I used kale as well. 2 frozen bananas, and blueberries as well! Just a few frozen ones. Also 3 table spoons of brown linseeds which are very good for you and also help make a creamy consistency of the smoothie. I also put one table spoon or two of chia seeds, and also 3 dates, to make sure it's sweet enough with all the chiaseeds and linseeds and kale. Maybe the bananas would have been enough on their own to sweeten it. Anyway, my smoothie is maybe a tad too sweet, but I'm feeling better already! There's an amazing medical doctor, with an amazing personal story, on you tube who's basically become a nutritionist, who recommends having a whole vitamix stuffed to the brim with kale or spinage or both with only some fruits to sweeten it, every day. I can never remember her actual name but her you tube channel is Goodbye Lupus, cause that's what she suffered from for years and got rid of by changing her diet to a high raw cruciferous green veggie content. She used to just crunch on them all day long, but then she discovered the quicker and easier and less chewy route of delivery by sipping a smoothie transfusion.

@GoobieAndDoobie Really, why? What it was for me, I was watching Steven Greer's videos (I didn't read his book )and thinking about getting into it but it lost out to astral projection. For 3 months I worked diligently at the astral projection techniques and I think it happened. If it didn't happen, something happened. But whatever happened, it made me ask the question ,is this really a good idea for me? If it's based on frequency, I can be all love and light and laughin my a$$ for part of the day, but another part of the day, I'm cussing m*****f***ers out and there ain't even anyone there. 😆 I don't think my discernment is always great. I got some weird vibes. I think I just need to focus on my yoga, meditation, eating my vegetables, and cleaning my damn room. 😆 It's so interesting to me though. But I can get lost in the sauce easy.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? I never mentioned it to my sister until about a year ago, and I hadn’t given much thought to how strange it was. This has happened more than 10 times since we were kids. I’m 35, and my sister is 37. Sometimes, when we’re both at home, I’ll be thinking about something random, and for 5-10 seconds, a song lyric will pop into my head. Then, out of nowhere, my sister will recite the exact next lyric out loud from another room. Sometimes, I’ll be singing a song in my head while walking downstairs, and as my sister passes by, she’ll start singing the exact lyric I’m silently singing in my mind.

I went into my profession with clear intentions, making life better for everyone including me. However, life taught me valuable lessons, that is, people don’t care about you, good or bad, but themselves. Especially in America, there is no creeds to keep people, themselves, in check. They’re never taught of creeds.
That’s when I realized life is a two-way street, good for good, bad for bad. From that on I would never be surprised at people’s failures or miseries.
Then I feel better than ever. Never look back or re-evaluate my conscience over and over. That is, you’re a human living among humans, you’re not a saint to save people. Just live your life and be happy with what you value the best for yourself.

Hi, Dr. G: I am so deeply impressed with your "living journal" -- esp because I, too, walked away from my life and went out into the wilderness alone for about 7 years, where I was "born again". And yes, you guessed it, it was an outpouring of a lot of bad and sad stuff, but that soon relinquished to the inputting of things like self-forgiveness, grace, gratitude and self-love.
Of course I didn't leave neurosurgery (just entertainment law in the tv industry) -- but I never would have had the courage to take a camera with me, like you did. Kudos to you, Goobie (meaning a long, big hug)! Anyway, I want to go back to your original dream of enabling those without limbs to develop robotic replacements. I heard you say the current technology won't cross the brain/nerve barrier (or something like that) -- but there are other possibilities, like the vagus nerve system, or perhaps connecting through the "chi" energy in the solar plexus (which has been proven to connect to the quantum field). Maybe none of these will work, but something else certainly will once the science improves. Anyway, I'm way out of my depth to say all this, but I feel deeply convinced that your priceless training and experience is being held in trust as a re-engineered gift to humanity -- and although you've already done a lot, well, I just sense that you have a lot more to contribute -- when you're ready, Sir.

WOW! God is SO GREAT! I needed this story so much! I'm almost 60 and truly "awakening" in my life journey. Things that I thought were important when I was younger, I have realized "not so much " I live with a chronic illness/dis-ease. I finally just pulled the rug out from my specialist(s) and doctors. I weaned myself off of all the medications they had me on and it's been tough, but I am on a WELLNESS mission. God, love, service to others, self love, eating healthy, sleep, family, laughter, and exercise. We also took up camping to be closer to nature. ❤ I quit working full time doing something I just didn't enjoy and wasn't fulfilling in my life to work less , doing something I love. I have had to adjust my budget, but since I have taken out my medical visits and medications, I don't notice too much difference financially. I live in the country, have egg laying chickens, goats, and a nice big garden. We can, (and try to do) some homesteading. I'm sorry, I'm rambling. Bottom line, I'm more fulfilled, less stressed, and working to heal myself through living as natural as I can.
Big Pharma is destroying so much and people don't understand what's happening here.
If people were "well", our doctors wouldn't have a job. When we are healthy and well, we are no longer their "client." Doctors need patients. Period. #JustTakeThisPill #JustVisitThisSpecislist #DoYourResearch

The amount of comments!!! A sign of how receptive people are for such story and that they enjoy the pace it is beeing presented. - Really interesting coincidence, that I got your video suggested. I am 55 years, live in Germany, left global corporate environment with 50, chronic pain patient, then spent 3 years most of my time with forest walks & my white little Maltese dog (looking like Doobie😂) , then decided to become a dog trainer. 2 years of study & training programme and started my own dog training business this year.
Best life ever thanks to my new routine: sleep 8-9 hours, get up around 8am, when everyone is already at work, love it, walk with my dogs in the forest until 11, have every day healthy lunch at home & espresso with my wife, then start working in the afternoon with dog training in small exclusive groups of 3 or 5 teams. Outside most of afternoon & evenings, with dogs, owners, friendly and grateful people. - such a beautiful contrast to the aggressive, fast, global business world before, with constant sleep deficit, daily bad news, constant pressure, narcists and psychopaths. - Good decision dear Goobie ❤!

I totally understand where you're going with this. I am about to tell you my story and this might be what you need.....
I was a cripple for 14 years of my life since very little. I was in constant pain but lived with it into adulthood. I have accepted my fate that I would be like that for the rest of my life. When I was 26 years old, my mom called me and told me there was a master acupuncturist in Taipei (Taiwan, where she lived) that she thought would solve my problem. I had doubts, huge doubts that she might be right, but I ended up flying to Taipei just to see my parents if nothing more.
So my mom took me to this acupuncturist. He was over 70 years old. I told him how I had a severe accident as a kid and walked as a cripple. He took my pulse without even touching my wrist and just hover right above my wrist to get accurate measures. This measuring including heart rate, my lymph nodes, my nerve system (enticed with organ functions), and down to the blood flow. He knew I was hyperactive as a kid just by measuring that way. Then he took a look at my feet and said to me he was the right one to seek because he specialized in ONLY arms and legs. He started his apprenticeship at 16 and only specialized in arms and legs after over 50 years!
He then did his acupuncture on me and I saw him 3 more times after that day (I stayed in Taiwan for a little over a month just for that). He then told me if I had seen him before I reached 23, 24, he would have guaranteed full recovery but I came to him too late, passed the growth period I assumed, and he could only guarantee 70%.
After I came back to the States, I started to have more pain as my body started to adjust from the treatment, and it felt like growing pain. My stance was correcting itself for over 2 months. My crippled foot started to slowly turn back into the right position for those painful 2 months. I now can walk like a normal person, which I wouldn't even fathom that before. Although it was not completely like before when normal, and I still cannot walk for too long or else I will start to walk as a cripple again, but I'm very happy with this miracle. My posture is normal and I felt like a new man to this day.
Taiwan now has the #1 national healthcare in the world now, and so the young doctors don't need/want to study as detailed to cure most of the disease and such, as that's not practical to spend decades like this master. However, there might be documents and maybe older doctors that went through this and might be something for you to look into. My story was a scientific miracle for me and I wish I knew anything about medicine because I know the pain, the darkness for people with chronic pain as I was one of them. Hope this might be interesting to you but if not, I hope you get what you want in life and be happy. I only wrote this because I saw your whole video. Take care.

Gooby ,first of all , thank you for helpin me "out" , im still stocking in this mid-life crisis now but i dont feel stressful about "now" anymore , but to be honest , this was only viedeo over 10min which i was watched for many years , the first couple minites i felt so bad about who talking too slowly and without any conclusion or clear point , but i tried to watch it while i was taking shower, then i stopped and started to "hear" , then i realized maybe we over focus on if we could become " Elton Musk" or "Sam Altman" it is just an external form of sucess, and there're so many different way even you dont know what to do now and you looks like a loser , but you are the one who know you life/body is getting better and also your life is getting better in a different way , so , thank you , im not a native speaker of EN, but its my first to write someone such a loooooong comment , all the best ,you and i

As a patient it is a relief to hear a doctor say that it is mostly about the money and not about the patient, it is more about fixing a symptom than solving the underlying problem(s) of a patient. At 18 I started having chronic back pain, after going to many doctors I finally got to see a doctor I though would be able to help. The doctor, his assistants, me, and my mom were standing in front of a full skeletal x-ray of myself and the doctor was saying that he could see nothing in the x-ray that represent the problems that I was having. I looked at the x-ray a few moment and asked him what about the small curve in the lower back , that was near the location of my lower back pain, and also why is one hip appear to be higher than the other. His reply stuck with me to this day and changed the way I look at doctors forever, "No body is perfect."(referring to my slightly curved spine in the lower back and one hip being higher than the other.) It took a lot of restraint not to get physical with that doctor, being an angry teenager, but I did tell him what I thought of him.
Now, 29 years later I feel like I am reliving that period of time. After a car wreck I started having constant pressure in the back of my head that will turn into pain if I do to much activity, stress, or do not eat acetaminophen and muscle relaxer on a regular basis. I go to my PCP , he sends me to an Orthopedic Surgeon who after hearing my problems and pain schedules a MRI then goes over it the following appointment. He says he can see signs of DDD but not what I am describing for symptoms and pain. Note that the pain that I described to him was in the back of the head, near the C1 and C2, and he was looking at the C3 and below on the MRI. So, he sends me to a Neurologist that listened to my symptoms and pain location and without looking at my MRI she states that it sounds like Occipital neuralgia and then sends me to the pain clinic for procedures. The pain center doctor does various spinal injections, one that worked for two weeks but insurance did not pay for was called an Occipital Nerve Block. After two weeks he does various other injections that do not work, then he does a final procedure called an Radio Frequency Ablation which also did not work but made me no like the taste of mayonnaise anymore. So, after 4-6 months of being a test subject I decided to get a second opinion from another Neurologist.
The second neurologist gave me hope, she looked at my charts, started doing test with electrodes attached to my head, test on my arms and legs to see if I was getting correct circulation, then sent me to get a MRi with contrast because she thought that my problems may be from a pinched blood vessel instead of a pinched nerve. All the test she did came back negative for what she looking for and the MRI with contrast results were the same, I read them on a text link that the facility put on my charts. The second neurosurgeon had her staff contact me and leave a message that she would not be able to go over the results because of a situation and would read the results to me three months later.
So, I went back to the Orthopedic Surgeon to tell him all the procedures I have been through and nothing is working, he orders another MRI claiming since it has been a year since I have seen him there may have been some change. Two weeks later he goes over the results and it is the same as before, but I now have done a lot of home work. I taught myself how to read an x-ray and a little bit of MRI by comparing my scans with scans on the internet that claim to be of normal scans. I ask him what about the C1 and C2 vertebrae, my pain is near the C1 on the right side of my head. He , as before, said he did not see anything. So I asked , what if my C1 and/or C2 are out of alignment that can not be seen on the film? He said that if the C1 and/or C2 were out of alignment then there was nothing he could do. I have been through a loop for almost 1.5 years of pain and suffering, believing that one doctor would have the answer just to be sent to another. Now the orthopedic surgeon says he can not help me any further and has sent recommendations for me to see a Neurosurgeon that I will see in three weeks.
Anyway, enough about my problems.
Dr. Goobie you can help people fix problems by doing what you believe in. You can lead a horse to water but you can make them drink it, but you can at least show them the way and the rest is up to them. A Dietitian or a Nutritionist show people how to lead a better and healthier life. But, it seems like you are more into the tech aspect of medicine. One option is to find a subject you are interested in that could help people in the future, like phantom limb syndrome ..ect, and dive into it. You never know if you could be the determining factor in figuring out how to integrate robotic limbs with neuroscience on a constant basis.

Hi Jon,
I’ve been on the opposite end of the stick, and, well, I’ve come to this same conclusion myself from tireless years of trying to figure out what was wrong with me and always feeling like the medical world did everything wrong. Like your plaster wall analogy, I’ve always called it a band-aid fix, where instead of actually addressing the root cause of something, they would just provide some lotion or something else to immediately address the issue, with it persistently always coming back. I believe medicine needs to be more than just a 30-minute check-in/update with 2-month intervals in between, where you don’t even get to consult with the doctor because you feel pressure from time due to the many people before or after you, all equally grumpy-looking in the waiting room. I believe that medicine should follow the patients around and see what they are doing in their lives and make adjustments where it’s necessary. But until then, I think it will continue to just let people down. Having been sick now for 4 years, I will take your advice on things to do and hope for the best. I am exceptionally glad you shared this, even if the mosquitoes drove me crazy and made me so itchy. I believe that you must truly be in a state of zen if you weren’t madly swatting like I would have been if I were in your position. Thank you.

Another amazing talk from you Dr Goobie!!!!!
Why do they put doctors through such strenuous rigours? To make them obedient and more easily control them! Because the medical establishment industry is run by big (p)Harm-a psychopaths that actually enjoy torturing both their employees and their clients/ patients. Sorry to put this bluntly. It's not just for making the money! It's for the purpose of reducing the quality of everyone's life, and creating more illness/ sickness/ unwellness, than 'solving' or 'resolving' it, or 'improving' or 'curing' it, even though their claims are obviously to the contrary, in order to suck people in to the false premises and promises. It's a sleight of hand. I believe that correct diet and natural nutritional, and herbal supplementation and lifestyle improvements if applied would make an overwhelming amount of surgeries and pharmaceutical treatments totally redundant and undesirable to say the least, would make them extinct!!!!!! I guess there would still be a place for surgeries, but they would be vastly reduced.
Yes many people find themselves in positions in many other professions and walks of life where the work situation is pressurized and exploitative. It's quite systemic in our supposedly relatively 'free' western society. The real underbelly of it is a tragic reversal of this self-delusion. You are describing the tip of the iceberg, with great precision and awareness of the fact that it's a big iceberg and goes deep and broad and also affects so many other people in many walks of life and professions/ lines of work and even beyond work. As you say financial pressures for a start, even social pressures, even religious pressures. All of them can be so stifling and even totally life and joy extinguishing.
Your humanity, humility and compassion shine through, and I'm sorry you've found yourself in the position of being the burnt dead/ or barely living/ rabbit for 15+ years of your life, and so grateful that you've been able to realise this and to find your way out of this and have lived to tell the tale. That was a truly amazing dream that spirit gave you, and amazing that you were able to find this profound interpretation of the meaning of your dream, and take positive actions to get out of the hopeless trapped situation you were in, and that by having helped yourself are in a position where you can help others also. You are definitely helping a lot of people with your videos, and I hope you can continue with this process of finding a good balance between helping yourself and also others, and I hope you can avoid burn out from helping others too much while neglecting yourself in future, because compassionate people do have a tendency towards that kind of thing.
This Buddhist story about the rabbit's self-sacrifice/ burnt self-offering or what have you, is also a very interesting and helpful antidote to the general culture of expectation put on individuals to sacrifice their desires, and dreams, and even basic needs for the benefit of others, or even the greater good of the collective or some other supposedly beneficial future outcome, which so often can be misled, and literally deadly to the individual as your talk points to. This level of self-sacrifice should not be foisted on people by any culture. Alas it is. There are many unsung heroes and martyrs and fallen.

Goobie Hello! 🙂
I was wondering whole this time from your first upload , wondering to write back to you or just to watch and listen your vids. Was working as a dentist whole life , and ofc beeing in health proffesion on all that way of life that you were describing...
Looked like replica of my own life. The difference is that I got the damage.Now in age 65, my spine is just ruined , crushed, had already 15y ago 3 laminectomies , was very hard operation🦽 on thoracal spine(you know that stuff), and the rehab was done all by myself m my research , conclusions and the rehab plan and program after I became an avid cyclist🚲 even in competitive form of that, almost a real pro cyclist. 🚲y aho had a minor stroke on the surface of cerenellum, (ethiology unknown)
The reason I decided to write you back is this unbeliavable similarity of mine and your thoughts ohmygosh, it's like my thoughts are coming out of your mouth lol omg.. couldn't stand not to write you 🤣
So, in short, you are talking (in public too) , I wasn't !
(only my close friends know my personal struggle and fight to be alive and moving , crawling out of that dark tunel of senseless health work, hospitals and suffering )
I'm often naming you "my twin thinker" 😆
I just want to shake your hand strong and hug you, You did it! You nailed this ! Please be sure of that.
Brave enough to brake our mental chains (made from the society , health system , personal wekness...etc) and you are saying all this in a beautifull narrative form loud , enough loud to reach milions of ppl.
Enjoying this new day here, praising that I'm alive and thinking and answering to a guy like you are .
Sorry, coudn't stand anymore to be quiet, had to write this .
Long live and prosper!
(was that Mr. Spok??)🤣🤣🤣

Hi Goobie🙏,
I understand, you mentioned that you only take the gummies every once in awhile and you take them responsibly ❤. However, I want to share some caution, as we do not know the spiritual effects of these substances. Some substances can have negative impacts on the spiritual bodies.
I would like to suggest a possible alternative. Although my alternative is bias (my spiritual practice), it is just an example and each person can find their own inspiration for alternatives if they desire.
It was mentioned you took them to help you think about a video. #1 Chanting (repeating the name of God as per your religion of birth) and self spiritual healing remedies (removes negative vibrations we pick up daily), by doing these actions over time it can assist a person to an extent with more clarity of thought and more well-being due to the purifying effect of these actions.
Gummies help you see the world in a more positive way. #2 I journal things that happened throughout the day examples : anger, judgement, pride, etc. and I write a correction for these. When, I feel there is a trend or something I need to change. I do autosuggestions to assist my subconscious mind in overcoming what I need to change. ( I still have to do my chanting + self spiritual healing remedies daily because the positive energies generated from these aid the autosuggestion in impressing on the subconscious mind. Autosuggestions are not a stand alone method, its done with spiritual practice ). Overtime, it can assist a person in seeing the world in a more positive way.💮💮💮

Part from 3:00 to 4:00 kinda makes me think about the concept of Life Tasks from Adler's philosophy. I recommend it overall, just as a thought exercise. It talks a lot about properly seeing what is our task, our 'duties', and what is not really our thing to worry about. Lots of social things are not really in our reach to control, as in, you cannot really make someone like you. Not trying to be liked, but honestly to yourself trying the best you can is better approach.
As maybe another example of Adler's stuff is - accepting that sometimes, you're the one that always does the dishes. Building resentment and expectations based on that though, is bad, per se. Someone's way of showing appreciation can show in many other ways, and it doesn't have to be tit for tat.

Exactly, this reflection on free will and determinism can lead us to a "freedom" that is not based on absolute control over our decisions, but on a profound acceptance of our human experience. This "reflective freedom" approach allows us to observe our choices and their conditions without needing absolute intervention in them.
Some philosophers suggest that, although free will may be illusory in a physical sense, the illusion itself can be useful: it allows us to live with purpose, assume responsibility, and seek meaning. Even in a deterministic universe, acting "as if" we had free will can help build a more conscious and ethical existence, where we recognize and confront our limitations, but also explore how far we can expand them. In that sense, freedom can be found, paradoxically, in reflecting on our apparent lack of freedom.

Thank you very much! You are precisely where YOU are meant to be. I'm hearing change. For me it was baby steps. Doing one new thing each day (i.e. make the bed, clean up, take care of my walking path, expand my spiritual way of life). It was learning to look at things 180 degrees from my first impression of perception. Today when the loops start, i practice gratitude, i seek out those i can help; neighbors, co-workers, family, friends, and all those in between those points. If it remains i seek guidance ( spiritual, mentors, family, friends, co-workers). If it persists i have been taught to place these things down in print, in a format that i can look at it from an angle i or we may have missed. You're seeking a solution, you seem to not focus on the problem. Good for you.! Keep it simple. You are never alone, even when your by yourself. Enjoy the moments, be present for each precious one. The hours, days, months, years, decades will all take care of themselves. Or they won't and that's all above our paygrade.

Yes you put it well, one must face and remain with the fact of fear, not try to overcome it, rationalize it, operate on it, argue it away, these don't do anything but suppress fear until it pops up again. One must face the fact that whatever one is afraid of may or may not happen. Life is unstable and is always changing, so yes, you might lose your job, you might not succeed, you might lose your significant other, you might lose the house, you might lose your status, you might lose your business, these are forms of death, therefore death is a part of life and fear is the consequence of separating life and death, "the interval between the living and the dying is fear."
We want to hold onto everything without it ever coming to an end, in other words we separate death from living, and the consequences of that is fear. So one must see the danger of clinging, one must face the fact that death is part of life, not something far away and separate that happens at the end. It is when we postpone and avoid death that fear begins, but if there is life and death together in everyday living then there is no fear.

Genesis 1:27
"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."
Galatians 2:20
"I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
51:09 it was not Jesus who neglected to teach. Here are verses that supports the 'missing link'. We should love ourselves because Christ lives in us and because we are made in God's image. And if we love God, we love his reflection in us. Jesus teaches love. And the Bible makes it clear how we should live as Christians, but often, people/the church can alter or omit things that further their own selfishness. I would encourage you to read the Bible for the direct source of God's teachings rather than the interpretations of man.
Also, to answer your video title, it definitely matters!

He feels that the medical system is just treating symptoms superficially to make money rather than helping patients address the root causes of their issues related to lifestyle and habits. He sees this as a bad cycle. His moral standards are high, but to support his family, he has to do work he finds fundamentally meaningless day after day, which causes him great pain. Eventually, he resigned from his job. Now, he has no other plans and is just relaxing, spending time with his family and dog.
However, I think he is not contributing to society in his current state. Doctors cannot help patients make and follow good lifestyle choices; it is not their responsibility or duty. It seems like the job itself was too stressful for him to handle. Not everyone has the luxury to quit their job as he did.
After reading this, he doesn’t seem like an MIT-educated neurosurgeon. He says hospitals do surgeries just to make money and that hospitals can’t tell patients that a good diet, reducing stress, exercising more, and not smoking can alleviate their pain because they wouldn’t make money that way. Well, obviously, these are all things that the entire medical community promotes as a healthy lifestyle. When did they ever hide this from patients? The problem is that many people, for various reasons, can’t do these things, and then when they have pain, they still need surgery.
This person has simply been a goody-two-shoes for too long and has burned out. If he really wanted to retreat to the mountains, why put his prestigious school and doctor background in the video title? As for the notion that doctors don’t work for patients, there are actually many doctors who do charity work, like Doctors Without Borders. He could also open a charity clinic to see elderly patients for basic conditions, only accept cash, and just cover rent, utilities, and malpractice insurance. He could say whatever he wants to patients. At the very least, he could start a YouTube channel to educate people about neurosurgery. If he truly wanted to make a drastic change, there are so many things he could do for patients given his background. Instead, he chose to rant online.
