Rahul Jandial, MD, PhD, is a dual-trained brain surgeon and neuroscientist at City of Hope in Los Angeles, California. Before finding his calling in the operating room, Dr. Jandial was a college dropout and worked as a security guard. As a surgeon, he now provides complex surgical treatment to patients with cancer. As a scientist, his laboratory investigates the biology of the human brain. Throughout his career, he has authored 10 books and over 100 academic articles.
His latest book, Life on a Knife’s Edge: A Brain Surgeon’s Reflections on Life, Loss and Survival, is a beautifully written account of the resilience, courage and belief he has witnessed in his patients, and the lessons about human nature he has learned from them.Ripped straight from his own personal experiences, Dr. Jandial pulls back the curtain to reveal the depth of a surgeon’s psyche that is continuously pushed to its limits.

I had a massive stroke in 2016 at the age of 46! Paralyzed on my left side of my body and a slew of cognitive issues and my number one advice is stay positive!!!!!!!!!!! That is sooooooo important! I don’t care how you do it? But friggen make it happen because your whole being will respond and follow suit! I went plant based after about 6 months and all the so-called experts thought I was nuts but I started healing and everyone was amazed at the progress I was making! Everyone else seemed stuck but I felt great considering how bad off I was , everyone is different and every stroke is different but I was starting to heal and make huge gains! Believe in yourself and stay positive! Only you know you better than everyone one else! Peace people!

Hi Dan, I hope that you go from strength to strength.

[@andreavanda5402]

I saw an interview number of years ago where a brain surgeon said that some brain injuries, in certain areas of the brain, interestingly, will cause a person to become very positive. This is directly related to the injury and nothing to do with any effort to think positively. I'm not saying that's what you had, but it could be. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to stay positive after such a devastating event. In any case, I'm glad you were able to stay in a good space and heal.

[@danthemansmith6095]

@@andreavanda5402 I wish! I was fortunate and was introduced to a beautiful soul of a therapist who would not take no for an answer and got me to start practicing meditation/mindfulness. I intially thought it was useless because I am old school mentality and fought it. I eventually gave in and I can literally say it turned everything around! It saved my sanity! I started doing 5 minutes a day with nothing but frustration! Then after about a month or so? I started to change? I don't know how or why but the whole process became something that I have a hard time explaining but it somehow transformed my point of view and I was changing into a new energy sort of speak. I now have to set a timer because I can literally spend hours connected to higher self or higher consciousness. Every session is like a new experience with results that I still have to be amazed by, it's a game changer for sure! I now go in my backyard barefoot and elevate my sense of being and am eternally grateful for everything! You name it! I now tell people thank goodness for that stroke because it made me the being that I always was meant to be! Peace out people!

[@andreavanda5402]

@@danthemansmith6095 Interestingly, i'm a therapist and I've been trying to meditate for many years (without success) because I've heard from people like yourself that has made such a difference in their lives.

[@danthemansmith6095]

@@andreavanda5402 Do your research and figure out how to incorporate it in to your life! Find a way to get to know your higher self or consciousness. Do a style based of off your own personal self. Do research and get tips/tricks from other people but always do what works for you! Do not try to mimic someone else because the universe made everyone unique in their own way. So don't feel pressure to emulate some other style! Your connection to the source of all things is within YOU or your own consciousness. Learn you and life will fall into place like a dance. I changed my inner song from chaotic heavy metal to a beautiful harmonic waltz with nature if that makes sense to you hopefully? You have to put the work in, nobody can do it but you! What you give to the universe will come back to you! You get what you give! Peace to you Andrea! but only you can manifest true peace from within YOU!

Love this. I had a severe traumatic brain injury in the 80s, when I was a child. Doctors didn't understand neuroplasticity, but I had a kind of instinctive awareness of it, so I didn't listen when they said I wouldn't recover. My IQ had dropped 7 years. Couldn't read, speak, or write. I worked on it all myself, as I was given no speech therapy. Now have an English Degree, am a bestselling author, and was a magazine columnist for 6 years. IQ is now top 2%.

[@RebeccaBardess]

@@HansenFTI mentioned my IQ in two contexts: that it had dropped by 7 years compared with my peers, and that my work had brought it up to the top 2%. So, in this case, what 'they' would say is that this person is providing measurable evidence of improvement in brain function, following a severe TBI that was deemed unresolvable, and that this may encourage others not to give up. To you and to those people who liked your comment, I hope your days improve and that you overcome whatever sense of inadequacy led you to attack a coma survivor for working her ass off for years to recover. If someone's IQ improving triggers you so much that you'd attack a brain damaged person for it, maybe identify where you'd like to work on your own brain. Would you like to develop a new skill? Do it. Would you like to develop more empathy? You probably should. 😉 Or, you can be a troll and cancel people whose progress threatens your ego. It'll get you attention. Long term, there are better options. Maybe find somewhere online where you can lift someone up in a comment today. Balance it out. Like karmic algebra or something. I believe in you. 🙂❤

The way when he described how emotion can take over separate from thinking as a person gets older if they never learned emotional regulation, really makes the whole Karen phenomenon a LOT clearer. The reason people get such a kick out of watching Karen freakouts is because it's like the mismatch between the person's age, usually an adult or middle aged person, and they are acting like a young teenager or even a young angry kid, who never learned how to cope / lost ability to cope when they don't get their way. Most of us on even our worst day, won't react like the Karens in those videos, or if we did, maybe it would be at less intensity. I think this is why privilege and entitlement mentality can be so dangerous because it's almost like a crutch that prevents certain segments of society from maturing and when they explode on others it's kinda frightening.

So, I started to exercise and eat healthy as a 2022 new year's resolution, also started therapy and cleared my mental health problems that I have had for over 10 years which was caused by a series of traumatic experiences as a child. Now I feel I'm constantly on 'Zen mood' with so much focus, energy and creative thought, but never fully understood why I'm happy now, so this forced me to do a ton of research into exercise and nutrition and it was very easy to follow through and learn the impact of food and exercise on mental health and overall wellness. But understanding mental health is extremely complex and I took me a while to really try to understand what mental health really is.

Filling your body with bad food and your mind and ears with negative, evil, perverse bad things and doing these things will cause all kinds of emotional, spiritual and physical damage/ trauma.

[@k8eekatt]

@@mayaozen487 my aunt was a popular, compassionate, ground breaking doctor. She traveled as the ship's doctor on cruises for vacations. She loved collecting cultural artifacts from the countries she visited and had many interesting friends. Less than a year after retiring at the age of 72, she had a stroke while traveling. She went to rehab and began to regain walking and speech but when she returned home, her sisters treated her as an invalid. You could pronounce that as in-valid. The depression took over and her recoverey sank like a soufflé . By the time she moved into nursing care, there was almost no sign of her former personality left. My siblings and I would visit with my mother, take her for drives, but I do not recall having conversations with her by that time. She passed away seven years later choking on food in the presence of an inattentive aid. I have learned depression can be a side effect of brain damage. I also know a man who had a stress related stroke in his fifties. He is very fit and while half his body was affected, he did not loose speech. He had a loving supportive wife and a helpful son. Traditional Korean acupuncture 3x a week restored all but a slight impairment of his right hand. Everyone is different and being able to help yourself makes a difference but I would never "blame" someone who had a stroke for not recovering. Sometimes you can't make it back to be the same person.

I didn't have any impact inside the car from my accident, rather a jolt from a rear hit, but I started to have brainfog the first 24 hours - also some heaviness/dizziness at the top of my head and some trouble with specific word recall. I'm better after some rest but still confused about any testing, scans etc... I should do. Have you found certain tests/scans helpful/informative? I sympathize with your experiences.

[@TheRelger]

The first was cycling down a steep hill and my brake handle came loose and fell into the spokes. Did a face plant and was briefly koed. I was 13. Second was a car accident. I was catching a ride and sitting in the back of a half ton truck. The driver ran a light at a major intersection and we got T boned. My arm was almost ripped off and hanging behind my back. I had gone though the truck canopy and bounced off another vehicle and did another face plant on the asphalt. 3 cars were totalled and another banged up. The third one was in a snow storm. I was driving a toolcat in deep snow plowing using a bucket instead of the usual blade. Doing maybe 25 Kms/hr and got off track and hit a stump. Instant stop- face plant on the windshield. Had a big hematoma across my forehead and seriously injured my neck. Even with a seatbelt on I hit that windshield hard and it didn’t crack! There’s been a lot of injuries, sports, cycling wipeouts, other car accidents etc but those three had immediate and noticeable effect on my concentration and memory.

[@TheRelger]

@@Violets14, I’ve never done any tests or scans and never had a doctor recommend any. What helps me most is eating healthy, getting regular sleep and taking supplements, especially lots of B vitamins. I used to work nights for many years in winter and didn’t realize how hard that is on me. It would take months to recover in summer. Now I stick to day shifts and very regular hours. Routine helps a lot. Also fasting seems to clear my mind. I do intermittent fasting, eight hours to eat in, sixteen fasting. Also the odd day where I’ll fast 24 hours. Weekly fasting for a day or two helps the most but I haven’t been doing that lately. Hope you find something that works for you.

[@michaelwilde545]

Very cool - great info. My experience with brain plasticity: I have optic nerve damage from intracranial hypertension (high pressure in the skull) and so my vision was affected so that everything was distorted in a way that straight things would look rounded. I had a very hard time reading because the letters were so distorted. I couldn't tell if something was really round or really straight, like not being able to tell a full moon from a 3/4 moon. A very straight line looked like it curved or had a round lump on it. After about 6 months I could read again and the curvy vision was beginning to be less and less. After a few years I could tell when the moon was full. The optic nerve damage is still there but my brain learned to correct for it. Now 20 years later I am back to carpentry and just being able to "eye ball" things and have them fairly straight. I have larger than normal blind spots, but I rarely ever notice them. I can see and function normally even with optic nerve damage.

A new term for that is "dry fasting", because you dont only fast from food but also from water or any liquids. It is extremely beneficial, as during the process new healthy cells are built up in the body. Btw in Ramadan, muslims not only abstain from food and drink but also from sexual relations (during day), and from swearing or saying/doing anything bad of course, as well as from smoking etc. ...

I wouldn't call it positive thinking I will call it higher thinking because if you think negative because of what's in your environment or are you having an emotional thought because of having a response to a bad environment and I'm learning this when you're fearful when you're angry when you feel negative emotions and thoughts usually come with those is your body telling you something is wrong it's kind of like not taking medicine when your body is doing symptoms of being sick and tell yourself to feel good path to higher income while preparing myself for a warehouse to get the income to do the higher learning cuz I'm tired of being poor.

As a cancer survivor I needed to hear Dr J say he was honored to treat people at their most valiant. It was emotionally healing. I wish I could thank him.

I'd like to add to my comment below. In April 2019, age 63, I got a TBI at work. Within 5 days I lost my ability to talk normal - a severe studder - nor to think normal - my thinking and dreaming was in studder mode and I couldn't remember words, names, what I was doing or going to do, etc - I lost my ability to walk normal - I would list side to side and I had to consciously make sure to pick up my feet so I wouldn't trip, and I got multi-tonal (5 of them) screaming sounds 24/7 of tinnitus, so sleeping for more than a few minutes was rare and I couldn't get into a REM state ever. Now, April 2022, I still have the tinnitus but it's only 2 sounds now and manageable, with intensive therapies of learning how to walk, talk, and reduce my anxiety to relax and focus from a hyperactive brain that seemingly wouldn't turn off, I am almost ready to go back to work. One more surgery to go on the shoulder (from the fall). I thought my career as a flight attendant was over (and I was too active living life to retire so my motivation and will were strong). I had no friends and family near me so I was on my own. I think the WILL to succeed, or have a REASON to keep going is important (That's my opinion anyway) because there were many times I could've given up but I thought "who would take care of my rescue cats?" They were my reason and they were my anchor. I know about neuroplasticity from when I was a mental health therapist and hypnotherapist. I studied it when it became more understood in the mental health community. That was another reason why I had hope of recovery. I didn't know if it would be a full recovery but I knew I had a chance at it and I had to try. If you know someone who has a health issue, help them find a reason to try to get better. Sometimes people poo poo encouragement and see it as pity. Help them by getting them to decide on their own the 'what and why' they would want to get better. I wish the best for us all in these crazy times.

I have had a lot of trauma regarding medically issues and mental issues and ended up dissociating, so I don’t have many memories only bits of it. I still believe the memories stay in the cells and can resurface and cause a flood of emotions where it is hard to attach where the feelings are coming from. When you learn not to not remember trauma, you definitely cope very well. I would agree more memory increases more of a traumatic response.

this dr is so awesome. he becomes so much better with each interview. really interesting how meditation/Hinduism/yoga sutras have the answer to all our misery and illness. drs and therapists resort to this ancient knowledge. never heard of a monk or a yogi getting cancer or being depressed. thanks for the interview!

You're welcome🧡

It's my experience that many monks n mediators still develop and cross over due to cancer and a myriad of all sorts of dis eases but die consciously in Grace ...we be complex organisms, this stuff is fascinating indeed Namaste 🙏

When I was just a girl I asked my father what is the mind.. what’s the difference between the brain and this thing… The mind could be there to create memories… The mind is ethereal. Think of it like taking snapshots every millisecond “mind” perceives and preserves and feels in real time seems to knows how to organize and save. The brain is tangible. You can watch as it goes about doing its tasks seamlessly… My father said it was beautiful.🧠

Dr. Rahul Jandial was a great guest. I truly appreciate you bringing him on and his message is very understandable. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. Thank you! My takeaway -- I am 69 years old woman who has lots of life left to live and I want to live well.
