🎙️ In this groundbreaking and science-backed episode, we sit down with Dr. Patrick Porter—creator of BrainTap and pioneer in light, sound, and neuroplasticity—for a deep dive into how technology can rewire the mind for resilience, focus, and peak performance.

From his early breakthroughs in guided visualization to developing a device now used by millions worldwide, Dr. Porter reveals how brainwave training transforms sleep, stress, and cognitive health. He unpacks the clinical research showing how brain voltage impacts dementia and Alzheimer’s, explains the role of epigenetics in rewiring our biology, and shares why most professionals unknowingly run their lives on mental “default mode.” Together we explore the science of energy, the nervous system, and how creative neuroscience is helping leaders, athletes, and everyday people unlock their full potential.

Whether he’s breaking down how light therapy increases ATP production, exposing the brain’s dependence on training and practice, or showing why positivity and gratitude literally change genetic expression, Dr. Porter reminds us that your brain is not fixed—it’s adaptive, trainable, and capable of extraordinary transformation.
