You may have seen Dr. Goobie’s amazing video. Almost 16 million people have watched it so far, and it’s been talked about by a variety of sources online for a lot of different reasons. His story affects us all, in more ways than you might think. It’s important that we all hear, at least once, what the neurosurgeon said.
For years, Dr. Goobie dedicated his life to the operating room. He had rigorous training at top institutions, neurosurgery residency, and performed mainly spinal surgeries for years. All this time, he believed he was fulfilling his mission to relieve suffering. But something wasn’t right. Despite mastering the latest surgical techniques and working with the best hospitals and colleagues, Dr. Goobie felt a deep dissatisfaction. He was helping some patients, but far too many weren’t truly healing.
This undeniable fact weighed on his conscience. For him, the breakdown and breakthrough came all at once when he realized that surgery wasn’t fixing the cause of his patients’ problems, he wasn’t making them healthy. He was, at best, only temporarily treating the symptoms. He knew there was a better way for them to achieve health, and it didn’t involve him stepping into the surgical theater. So, he quit.
Why Surgery Isn’t the Answer
Dr. Goobie likened his surgeries to fixing water damage inside a house while ignoring a leaky roof. He could remove a bulging disc, stabilize a joint, or implant electrodes to block pain signals while the lifestyle issues including poor diet, stress, and lack of movement remained unaddressed. If lifestyle wasn’t dealt with, over time his patients’ conditions would return, often leading to more surgeries and more suffering. If his patient’s lifestyle issues were addressed, most times they didn’t need him.
He couldn’t deny the pattern. Patients who made the necessary changes and healed without surgery had certain things in common. They:
- Ate a mostly plant-based, whole-food diet.
- Avoided excess salt, processed foods, and inflammatory foods.
- Exercised regularly by going outside and moving their bodies.
- Had strong social support systems—friends, family, and a community.
- Managed stress, meditated, or practiced mindfulness.
- Prioritized sleep, getting at least eight hours a night.
In short, they started living The 100 Year LifestyleⓇ. Meanwhile, those who continued suffering, even after surgery, lived the opposite lifestyle—poor diets, high stress, sedentary habits, and little social connection.
Realigning
This realization changed everything for Dr. Goobie. He saw firsthand that the body wants to heal itself. It has an Innate Intelligence designed to repair and regenerate, given the right conditions and support. What’s more, when the body heals itself, it heals it’s whole self. You might be focused on your bulging disk, but when you focus on creating health, other related or seemingly unrelated health concerns heal as well.
But Dr. Goobie was quick to realize that modern medicine isn’t structured to support this natural healing process. Instead, hospitals, physicians, and surgeons are built around treatments. They provide surgeries, pills, and procedures that generate revenue. None of this is designed to address the root cause of disease.
This isn’t news to The 100 Year LifestyleⓇ, our providers, and patients who are all about supporting the body’s Innate Intelligence. This is the same intelligence that not only created our amazing bodies, but allows wounds to heal, bones to mend, and cells to regenerate. In support of this intelligence, The 100 Year LifestyleⓇ is centered on prevention, longevity, and optimal health, rather than expecting sickness to be a part of life and living from health crisis to health crisis.
Ask the Doctor
Dr. Goobie’s experience confirms what The 100 Year LifestyleⓇ teaches, that true healing doesn’t come from a pill or a scalpel. True health and healing come from living a lifestyle that takes care of your body every single day.
The choice is clear. You can wait for disease and hope allopathic medicine will fix it, or you can take control of your health and live at 100% for 100 years.
Just ask the doctor. He spent 20 years at the top of the allopathic medical system before realizing the truth—your body is designed to heal.
If you want to help your body to heal, find a doctor you can trust. There’s a 100 Year LifestyleⓇ provider near you.
