Your voice isn’t just “something you have”. It can be a powerful daily practice for self-expression, focus, and feeling more aligned.

In this Brain Fitness Podcast episode, Marni Pogachefsky (Marni Mae) shares the concept of soul songs and how music, frequency, and simple humming can help you reconnect with your message and purpose, without needing to be a performer.

Marni Mae is a transformational artist and sound practitioner, and the founder of Soul Songs. Formerly a business consultant working with Google and Fortune 500 companies, her path shifted after formative experiences that led her to focus on sound, voice, and frequency-based practices. She creates personalized and group sonic experiences designed to help people reconnect with their authentic voice and sense of purpose, and works with creatives, leaders, and change-makers through courses, performances, and guided audio experiences.

In this conversation, you’ll hear practical ways to explore your own sound, recognize when you feel “out of tune,” and use music intentionally as a mirror for your life and relationships.

What if mental fitness starts with how the brain is fueled?

In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, Dr. Patrick Porter sits down with psychiatrist Dr. Matthew Bernstein to explore the emerging science of brain metabolism, ketogenic nutrition, and mental performance.

Dr. Matthew Bernstein, MD is a board-certified psychiatrist and CEO of Accord Mental Health. He completed his undergraduate studies at Columbia University, earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and completed his psychiatric residency at Massachusetts General Hospital / McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate.

Dr. Bernstein is known for integrating metabolic health, nutrition, and brain energy science into psychiatric care, with a clinical focus on mitochondrial function and metabolism in mental health. He continues to practice full-time and leads an immersive residential program centered on lifestyle-based mental health support.

In this conversation, Drs. Porter and Bernstein examine how ketones function as an alternative fuel source for the brain—and why optimizing metabolic health may be essential for achieving cognitive clarity and emotional resilience.

So many people are struggling with stress, poor sleep, chronic fatigue, and nervous system overload, and most don’t realize what’s driving it.

In this episode, I sit down with Alyssa Blue, FDNP, from My Align Mat to talk about the nervous system, posture, sleep, and the simple habits that support a calmer brain and body. We also explore how posture, breath, and grounding can shift physiology more than most people realize.

Alyssa is a former aerospace engineer turned Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner with a passion for human performance and nervous system health. After years of chronic pain and gut issues, she shifted from engineering rockets to understanding the body, using deep investigative work and bio-individual healing. She is also the co-creator of ALIGN, the first Schumann-resonance-tuned PEMF mat designed to support at-home healing and balance.

If you’ve been feeling wired but tired, overwhelmed, or unable to fully relax, this episode will give you a clearer path and a starting point.
