Brain Health Blueprint

Hey, everybody. You are gonna find this next guest as absolutely fascinating as I did. I I'm sure of it.

Doctor Patrick k Porter is a pioneer of brainwave entertainment and creator of BrainTap, a platform used by over a 120,000 users and 3,000 plus clinics worldwide. He's backed by 30 plus clinical studies. His work shows how we can train the brain like a muscle without pills and without guesswork.

His upcoming book, Brain Fitness Blueprint, reveals how visualization and neuroplasticity unlock peak performance for emotional resilience. He's been featured in huge places like The Wall Street Journal, CNN, The Joe Rogan Experience. Doctor Porter is leading a global movement to help people reclaim their mental clarity, balance, and potential, one brain at a time.

Help me in welcoming doctor Porter. Hello, and welcome to the Power Up Your Life podcast powered by GoBun and Swimmin'. I'm Mandy McAllister.

And I'm Kelly Resendez.

And today, I could not be more excited for the learning that we're gonna have with doctor Porter. Doctor Porter, thank you so much for joining us today. Well, thanks for having me, Mandy and Kelly. It's great to be here. It's gonna be awesome. So before we dig into all of the questions I have on neuroplasticity, can you just give us a little bit on your background?

Yeah. I was I was part of a team that actually created the very first portable light and sound machine. So if you can imagine this whole field of biohacking, we didn't know we were biohacking. We were trying to maximize brain function and help people out of pain. And what we found was by using brainwave and treatment, this was back in the eighties. So I'm now on my sixteenth different device. It's called BrainTap, and so we're revolutionizing it in the world.

But, my real background started when I was 12 years old. My dad was a Silva instructor, the Silva method. So we learned to use something called the Silva sound and use our mind as youngsters, and I went from being a held back kid in second grade to being an honor roll student and three sport captain. It was all because my brain my dad taught me how to use my brain and and how to use my mind and to visualize and realize that I can have whatever I want as long as I can see it in my mind. I can feel it in my heart and live it in my life.

I love it. I I I feel like the the whole world of brain science and biohacking and Joe Dispenza and all of the all of the stuff that has kinda entered the zeitgeist lately, like, there there are misconceptions

and things that aren't understood. You know, tell me what are the most common misconceptions around neuroplasticity that really limit people's ability

to change their brains? Well, there's really three things you need to think about. When you were born, you were the smartest person you're ever gonna be. Your brain was 100 per 100 neural process was totally wired, And as we age, it actually neuro prunes, which means once you think you know something, you you actually eliminate all other possibilities. So that's why it takes as you as you know more, actually, the stupider you become.

You need to become more creative and spontaneous, and that's called neurogenesis. So we can't take back or we can't give back the brain cells you lost in college because you were doing certain things. But what we do know is that in the right environments, we can bring in new neurons. So imagine the neurons of today are different than the neurons you were born with.

So when you think about neuroplasticity, this is the brain's capacity to change, and it changes on those two factors. It either is pruning, and I'll give you one example so everybody understands. If you speak more than one language, you have a circuit in your brain that stays active your whole life, meaning that you can learn other languages quicker. You ever notice somebody that learns one language? Sometimes they learn two, they learn three, they learn six. And, like, my science officer, we were in India. Three weeks into it, he starts speaking Hindi. And I said, Francisco, when did you learn to speak Hindi? He said, we've been here for three weeks.

Because that's how powerful our brain is, but that circuit, if you only learn one language, like I did English, that circuit goes down because the brain uses 20% of the energy resources of the body are going to the brain, but only weighs two pounds, two to three pounds. So when we think about neuroplasticity, the biggest misconception is that everything helps the brain evolve, but a lot of things help the brain de evolve. Because as we age, we unplug and we unplug until that last neuron unplugs. So we need to keep doing new and different things, creative things that allow our brain to be challenged.

And and by the way, stress is what we need. It's not what we're gonna avoid. We wanna build capacity in our brain to handle and manage stress, and that's what we exemplify with what we do is you need to don't avoid stress because stress will chase you like a like a bad like a bad habit. You need to lean into the stress, get your brain to build the neural networks necessary to handle and manage that situation, and then you have a superpower.

And we get those superpowers, by the way. You get more neuroplasticity while you sleep than when you're awake. This is something that most people don't understand. You do more neurological activity while you're in bed, and that's why it's so and we could talk a little bit more about why sleep's so important to incubate your superpowers, but you set that up in a way that your brain can do that. If you go to sleep in the wrong way, you're actually setting yourself for neural pruning because you're building more anxiety, more fear, more frustration into your life.

Wow. That is holy moly. Now I'm like, I understand why I don't know how to speak multiple languages and, wish that I could.

So a lot of our listeners are entrepreneurs, and they're used to being in a state of overwhelm. That's the one thing that, you know, especially with GoBondance Women, we wanna help women get better clarity and skills and resiliency.

Like, how do you really teach somebody, or how does your product support somebody that's just in that constant fight or flight, like, just overwhelmed state?

Sure. And remember, confusion is the quickest way to enlightenment. So you if you're a little confused, a little stressed out, the the thing is you need to give a pathway to your end result.

And there's three times the day when we tell people you need brain fitness. In the morning, you need brain fitness where we there's a brain wave called SMR, sensory motor rhythm. This actually triggers norepinephrine cortisol, norepinephrine. These are things your brain needs to actually give you that creative spark and that what you need in the morning to get busy and get doing things.

You can be a little anxious when you're doing that. You can also do that with breath work. You can do, like, psychological breathing in the morning. You breathe in. I tell people don't do that in front of the family. Do that in your bedroom before you come out. But what will happen is that resets your your sympathetic and and parasympathetic system. You also have something called the neurohormonal system. These three need to be working together. So think of it when they all three come together, you have balance and harmony. In the morning, you wanna have that high focus.

Now what happens because of something called the circadian rhythm, and that's really getting light codes from our sun, which we don't have time to get into, but we are actually beaming codes into our body to tell our body what to do. At 02:00, everyone listening to this podcast, your temperature drops two degrees. If you're if you're dysregulated, if your nervous system is dysregulated, if it drops more than that, you start thinking you have blood sugar problems. It's a neurological problem. Your your body needs a reset. These bodies were designed for the Serengeti. They haven't changed in two hundred thousand years. So what happens in the Serengeti? Everything's taken a nap. There's no lions chasing zebras. There's no miss so what we what we proved at Google and Microsoft, we did a study.

We did a twenty minute reboot. They came to me and they said, how can we remove burnout at Google and Microsoft programmers? And I said, do a brain test session at 02:00 in the afternoon. Every one of the programmers said, there's no way we can do that. We'll lose too much time. I said give me two weeks, and I'll prove to you you will never stop doing it. So we did it for two weeks. We showed them that the days they did brain tap, they got 26% more work done. So take a twenty minute break, get 26% more work.

Because in the in the afternoon, you think you're doing something, but because most people at 02:00 have more coffee, tea, and chocolate, which is a biological solution to electronic problem, our body is electric. So we need to get our brain electrified, and we do that through breath work, relaxation, and then visualization. So we actually have it on our app. It's called the peak performance program because we did it with Julien. We proved that out at Google and Microsoft. But you could listen to any of our any of our 3,000 sessions in the afternoon. It's gonna up regulate. You're gonna, once again, have that cortisol, norepinephrine, that dopamine. That's what's gonna get you acting and thinking. You can read faster. You can think better. You can perform better.

And then the third thing that our device does these are three times and it's not about meditation. It's about brain fitness. It's about moving your brain. And what we've shown is if you use this our technology, that we can up regulate your nervous system in one session by 27%. And if you do it three times a week for for for a month, if you do it more than that, it'll be even faster. That becomes your baseline. So we actually train the brain to work at a higher level, and sleep is so important.

So right before sleep, we need to down regulate that nervous system because you don't need that norepinephrine, cortisol, and dopamine anymore. And so besides the fact, I always tell people at biohacking conventions, especially Dave Asprey's from the stage, I usually say, I will bet anyone out there that I can beat your sleep score. You do every one of your sleep pro protocols. I'm gonna do brain tap before sleep. Like, my wife, when she shows she usually sends me her her scores. It's 95 to 97 every night.

So the reason is be brain tap will down regulate the nervous system, and there's a superpower that happens during sleep. It's the only time your brain detoxes. So if you don't reach level four sleep, imagine this girls, if you were a night in 2014 and you were looking at a physiology book, the lymph system, which is the garbage man of the system, every book stops it at the neck. But then during a sleep study in 2015, a doctor realizes there's a whole new system of the body in the brain called the glial lymphatic system that only operates and activates during level four sleep. This is why people have toxic brain when they wake up in the morning. They have foggy brain. They're not able to get started. If we can get the brain to have one hour of deep sleep, two hours of REM sleep, if you're measuring with, like, an Oura ring or an Apple Watch or something like that, you'll see that that's what we maximize with brain tap. And even in our our peak performance study, we didn't have them do the sleep program, but they had a 47% improvement in their sleep scores.

So Oh, wow. We we have to we have to regulate when you're under stress, an entrepreneur, you signed up to be an entrepreneur. You know? So you signed up to be the garbage man, the bookkeeper, the, you know, the you you do it all. And so what you have to take a break. But I mean by break not just a break having a cup of coffee. We are when now when we go to corporations, we say, let's set up rooms to have brain breaks. And when you're not Twitter, you can set the time. So if you came to my office, besides our all of our research lab stuff, but in my office, I have my own chair, my own machine because every day around 02:00, I'm doing a session because I know the benefits of it. In the morning, I get up and I do my session in the morning. I don't always do it in the evening, but when I'm traveling, I do because I sleep really well.

But if if you need to, you really if you can regulate the nervous system about at least every seventy two hours because it's resetting all the time. That's why there's nothing permanent about the body. And I I like to tell people, you're not the same person that started this this podcast.

Just to give you an idea, when I said light from the light from the sun, they now know science has proven that we are encoded with information from the universe, which means our DNA if I could take, Mandy and Kelly, your DNA staple it to the floor, it would stretch to Pluto. Its full job is to absorb and transmit light codes that tell our body what to do. Now if you're stressed out, we don't get the right information. So that's why down regulating the nervous system so we can get that clear communication. Our body knows what to do. And this body you're in right now, it's no more than seven years old.

But you'll take your memories, your concepts. I call them dragons of the past. These are the things that you did bad in the past. Now imagine whatever it is you're dragging on with you, all your limited beliefs, and it was it was kryptonite, and you were Superman. And you were every time you met somebody, you said, look. This is kryptonite. It disempowers me. It makes me less than I am. You know, Superman wouldn't do that. He'd put it in a lead box and put it in his backyard. So stop your dragons. Stop dragging them on and on and on, and start telling people what what fires you up, what makes you feel energized.

Because when you do that, you start to get the hair in your hands, lights up, your hair goes on fire. Mine's so bad it went through the top of my head. But, you know, there all all the you gotta be in the energy flow, and that means that you don't have to tell everybody about your limited life. That was your past self. You're you've died a thousand times since then because these cells are different. Every day, you're changing at a rate of 50,000,000 cells per second. You are a different person. You're around different people. You're sharing information. So what we like to tell people is you have to change your brain. We were not born with the brain for this life lifestyle we're living. We have to change our lifestyle to fit so our brain works in this environment.

Yeah. I love that concept of entrepreneurs. Like, we signed up to solve problems. We signed up to manage many different levels of anxiety

at all all the time. So, you know, tell me, just what does a session look like? What should a brain break look like for someone? Well, you you you're in a you can be laying down or sitting in a chair. You know, it's one that you can really relax. And you if you have our headset, then you put the headset on. The headset has lights in the ears and the eyes because they're tuned. We have special cells. Every cell has something called a chromophore. This little battery that absorbs light, sound, and vibration. When that cell is filled with energy, it passes it on. It's called photobiomodulation. We do this every day when we get out in the sun. But the problem is that we don't get out in nature enough. We don't get out in the sun. So with the headset, we can mimic that. We can mimic those sunrises and sunsets.

And that so while you're listening, that light is flickering at a certain very specific frequency. We're gonna start at beta. Beta is your reactionary mind, so we have to pace the person. Now that reactionary mind takes a lot of energy. It's the only brainwave state that robs you of energy. So the more you're in that beta state, the less energy you have. So when we drop down into alpha, which is our creative state, you know, where we're problem solving and now by the way, these brainwaves are all happening at the same time. It's just, are they in balance? And what I mean balance is when we're awake, we should have about 45% beta, 30% alpha. That way we can react to our environment, but we have intuitive knowledge.

Because we know we know literally everything, but we don't have access to everything until we need it. So for instance, you might not remember you might not know everything about Arnold Schwarzenegger, but now that I've mentioned Arnold Schwarzenegger, anything you know about Arnold Schwarzenegger comes into your mind. Right? So we're triggered. So think of this world like a g GUI screen, you know, graphic user interface, and it's triggering things, and it comes to our senses.

So while you're relaxing, we're gonna be stimulating those senses with with specific sounds, specific light, and specific vibration. We use and what happens is the brain then matches it Because in users, I always tell people when I'm on podcast, go to the Internet, go to YouTube, and put in synchronizing metronomes. And this guy starts 200 metronomes all at different times, and then they synchronize. Well, that's what our brain does to recruit brainwave activity. It's almost like the cicadas in the summer. You know, when you hear the one cicadas start, then the other cicadas start, then you got this so that's what's happening in the brain.

So we're recruiting brainwave activity. When we do that, we now know that it's instructing your gut to produce neurotransmitters. Your neurotransmitters are not made in your brain. They're made in your gut. So as you go through these different brainwaves, we actually in science know that you're making acetylcholine, you're making GABA. Now when you think about problem solving, when you have that eureka moment, that's a neuroplastic experience. You actually had that, oh, your brain just lit up. Because when you have one new thought enter into your brain, your whole brain has to rewire around that new thought. So imagine that, and you need energy to do that.

So what happens? Why do we use light with brain tap? When your cells when your hemoglobin are absorbing light, which they do naturally, it's not your body does that. It circulates through the body and it finds the cells that are dying. So we put it in through the eyes and the ears because your eyes are your brain, so we're putting light right into the brain, into the frontal cortex, which you need to think. We're putting it into the ears because all the blood in your body passes through yours every three to five minutes. So now the that light energy is going right into the brain. When it finds a cell that is dying, it that cell will absorb that light energy and start something called the Krebs cycle, which is your body's ability to produce ATP.

So think of ATP the same way you would think of gasoline in your automobile. It's what fuels everything. So imagine that imagine I'm in the middle of that eight that cell, and I just received that light energy. Before that light energy came in, I was producing one ATP molecule. But after I received that proton of energy, I'm now spitting out 32 ATP molecules.

And to give everybody an idea, when we do our brain studies like we did one on dementia down in Florida called the saving your brain study, We reversed dementia in six weeks, one hundred percent of the people in this study. And it's it's now at over eighty people, and they've reversed dementia in less than six weeks because we raised the voltage of the body. So this energy raises your voltage. When you were born, remember I said you were the smartest person at that point? You also were running at 18.1 volts. Most of us are running about 10.1 volts. And if the hemispheres aren't balanced, we had start having dementia. If one runs faster or slower than the other.

So that's why it's important to do different activities and be out there. You know? One of the main things you can do is have a community to speak with, communicate with, talk with, you know, get out, walk, do do different things. These are all really good things, but with the reason that brainwave and training is so important is these are very specific targeted trainings to increase your brain's activity. And then when you return back to your life, your brain has learned a skill how to modulate and create energy, and that's really what it's all about. The more energy you have at the end of the day to spend with your family, your friends, that's what's most important.

You know, your your job could be important, but it shouldn't be your life. You know, you wanna have inner you don't wanna be the person in other words, if somebody has the the typical brainwave that we scan is over 70 delta when they're awake. That means that they have stressed themselves out. They have a lot of inflammation. Their body's not regulating. And at the end of the night, if you're one of those people that you get home, maybe you eat dinner, maybe you don't, you you throw off the parachute because it's like you're pulling a parachute all day. You're pushing it. That's because you're in delta. It's hard because your body's saying go to sleep. It can heal itself during sleep, but it can't heal itself. You don't you don't rejuvenate and heal while you're awake. That's why I said there's more neurological activity when you're sleeping than when you're awake.

Wow. Holy moly. Mind blowing. I might have to listen to this about 10 more times for sure.

And, you know, one of the things that you've really made clear is that we need to be intentional about how we treat our brain. And most people you know, my mind was blown in my awakening in 2004 when I realized that I wasn't my thoughts and I wasn't my brain. And so the intentionality with this is so important.

You've talked about the benefit of stress, but I think can you go a little deeper on the difference between good stress and bad stress? Because I think I think for those of us listening, there there are two types. Right? Yeah. There's eustress, they call it, which is good stress, like you're getting married, or you're it's a birthday, or, you know, you're meeting with friends.

There's stress in those and the difference is that what your brain chemically makes, you know, when you're when you have when you have when you're in that good stress, you're most people don't get tired of doing something good. You know, they they have energy, they keep going. But when you have that bad stress, some point or another, your body's gonna give out because there's no there's no satisfaction in it.

You know? Like, dopamine, for instance, in in bad stress, there's no payoff with dopamine. That's why when you know somebody has an addiction, you go, why are you doing this? Well, they're trying they're chasing that that feeling, but it it never satisfies. It only agitates. So we need more GABA. That GABA is a it slows down those things and and also acetylcholine, which is basically or oxytocin when you're around somebody and you're meeting them. All these neurotransmitters, there are 54 of them. We're not gonna go over all of them here. But when you think about them, those are connecting your brain and making these neural networks.

And when we have good stress, of course, we'd like to have more and more good stress. But the reality is even good stress in ex too much of it is too much because everything is cyclic in our universe. So even those metronomes I was talking about, when you watch it, after three minutes, they start to dysregulate. So don't be surprised if you have a high time and a low time. But don't be don't fall don't fall in love with either. Don't don't say, oh, it's always bad or it's always good.

We we always say at night, one of the ways we use Brain Fitness is at night when you're going to sleep, we recommend doing the four eight breath. It's a very simple breath. You breathe into the count of four. You breathe out to the count of eight. This is gonna exercise your sympathetic and parasympathetic system. When you're breathing in, you think about your day. And if you had good things happen to you, you're gonna color coordinate them. You're gonna make them colorful, bright, as if a Hollywood producer's put together and put them part of your success reel so you remember them. Anything that happened to you bad, you make them black and white. You reframe them. What can you learn from them? Because if we can learn from those negative experiences, they become valuable. If we don't learn from them, our brain actually sets up new meetings to have more of those negative experiences because we haven't learned from them.

And it the possibilities are endless out here. You know, there's we we say from any one moment in time, there's only an infinite number of possibilities to succeed or fail based on two things. The biggest thing you could do for your brain, do you look at life as a challenge or do you look at it as a threat? These are the two biggest things for brain, and what what we know they do is they actually shut off your gene expression. So imagine when you're thinking something's a threat, your body actually down regulates. It seems counterintuitive. But when you look at it as a challenge, your DNA actually upregulates. This is what happens every forty seconds. So every DNA pair under stress or under pleasure is rebreting. You are a different person.

You show up. That's why the ancients say you can't step into the same river twice. So I live at a river here in Neuse River. I look out at that river. It looks the same, but it's not. It's new water. It's new fish. The sediment has changed. Our bodies have changed. So we need to step in with new eyes, with new ears, with new experiences saying, hey. Today is new and different. And then whether we have that good stress or that bad stress, we stay focused on our experiences because it's the experiences that make us learn, grow, and evolve.

When you think about an entrepreneur, who's the highest paid entrepreneurs? Like you said, they're the ones that solve problems. And the nice thing about our reality that we live in today is all problems have solutions, and all solutions have problems. So you have to look at what's the best solution that has the minimum amount of problems. You're never gonna find the perfect solution. There's always gonna be problems with it. So you have to say, okay. I'm okay with those problems if I get this solution. And then you move forward with that, and you take action. And then those dendrite connections and all those neuron connections, they're all then they close in on that and say, let's create it. Let's make it happen.

But as long as you have a a sense of impossibility or it's not possible, your brain will keep looking for a solution. Even though the solution could be right in front of you, You might have the best solution. So it's important that we do this is why imagining and future pacing, doing these things are so important, especially for a business owner.

Yeah. I'm hearing a bunch of really actionable stuff here. So I need to do this four eight breathing right before bed. Yeah. I I need to do that deep breathing before I leave my bedroom as not to scare the children. I need to dream in the future. What what are maybe a couple more actionable things that an entrepreneur should be doing?

During the day, I always tell people practice the box breathing.

This is something they teach the Navy SEALs. So imagine you're one of five guys you're gonna go take on a battleship. You're gonna I don't care what training you have. You're gonna be nervous. So what they taught him was you breathe into the count of four, you hold that to the count of four, you breathe out to the count of four, you hold out to the count of four. Make kind of visualize a box. If you can do that during stoplights, during while you're sitting in doctor's offices, when you have idle times, start training your brain that there is no idle times. Those are times given to you to express and then impress people around you because you have to first impress it upon your own subconscious.

So while you're doing that box breathing, you're actually resetting your nervous system. When you show up somewhere, we've all walked in on our parents when they they're fighting. Right? We go we feel that energy. Well, that's you too. We have a field of energy. They they now know. If you go to the NIH website and type in biosphere, in 1994, they said that we all have a sphere of energy around us, and that's where all illness starts. But that's what you're feeling when you meet somebody and say, I got a good vibe with that person. Alright. I like that person. You're feeling their energy. Now that energy is actually transacting information.

So when before we go into a meeting, we wanna calm our energy. We wanna be the person. We don't wanna come even if we had the worst phone call in our life, we can reset our brain function. The other there's a couple things you can do dietarily that will help your brain that I wanna teach the people. They're very simple. Number one is ditch the salad dressing, get rid of it, and replace it with olive oil. One teaspoon of olive oil a day can reduce dementia risk by forty percent. Our brain needs essential oils, and it's the cheapest way you can get essential oils. Get get a good brand of this get a good brand, make sure that it's it's not full of seed oils and things like that. But then put Italian seasoning and salt and pepper on your salads.

Now when you're eating your salads and now if you don't eat a salad that day, then I recommend doing something with there's a product I use called Energy Bits. Look it up. You can take these pills, and it's like taking it's like eating five salads. You know? So but we need these greens because greens are photo by photobitex, which means when they enter the body, they actually help your energy systems. And we are you know, they call it the the, electron transport chain. That's what we're talking about when we eat food. So we are electrical beams or light beams, so we need to feed our body that way.

The other is is when you wake up in the morning, instead of going straight for the coffee, which I know it's hard to do for some people, The moment you do that, you actually crush the cortisol curve. You wanna drink your coffee two hours before when you wake up. So you wake up what you wanna do in the morning first thing is drink a big glass of water or two and put Celtic salt in it. It's very inexpensive. You can get it at the store. You put that salt in your water, and you should be putting salt in every glass of water because the one thing most people are short of is minerals. And if we don't have minerals in our body, we our brain can't function better.

So this but if you do that and then you exercise, and the days you exercise, do it first thing in the morning. Ten minutes of exercise in the morning is, like, thirty minutes at night. So if you can do those things and what it does is when you exercise, before you do your meditation in the morning, you're going to stimulate something called BDNF, brain derived neurotrophic factors. Think of it as miracle growth for the brain. So you exercise. How how many people have have done yoga, do Tai Chi? Those those sciences were all designed to energize the brain for meditation. That's why at the end of yoga, you do yoga nidra. That's the most important one. When I go to India, I said, what is the most important yoga pose? And they say the depth pose. That's where you just start with the corpse pose, where you're just laying there. That's when your brain gets all the neuroplastic change.

So in the morning, big couple big glass of water, exercise to to to exertion. You can do that as little as ten minutes. If you have a mini tramp, if you're an entrepreneur, just go get a mini tramp up, jump on it. Ten minutes is worth thirty minutes. You're there's a lot of different ways you can hack that system. And then do your do your meditation. And in the morning, if you're not doing brain tap, then you're gonna do that psychological breathing and just then just set set with it. Once you're done doing that, just set with it. Let any thought come into your mind. Don't discern upon the thoughts. Your brain knows exactly what to do with them, and your subconscious will organize it so you're you have a great day.

That is absolutely incredible. This has been the most, like, just action oriented packed session that we've had, and, I definitely know that you have shared the most words that I'm gonna need to go Google or chat GPT afterwards as well.

And I and I'm somebody that's obsessed with neuroscience and reducing dementia risks as well. So this has been absolutely incredible, and I would just say, like, my biggest takeaways are really that, you know, the power of breath and some of these simple things that we can do are are gonna make just a lasting impact in our life and that we really want to use our brain rather than our brain just doing what it's always done, which is not getting people where they wanna go.

What about you, Mandy?

I, the couple of things I wrote down that I loved the most, there was so much in here, doctor Porter. Thank you. But building capacity in my brain to handle stress. You know, like, that that is the goal. And stop stopping my dragons. You know, that that idea of I've been dragging it along and I I'm I'm not that anymore.

You know, one thing that really matters to us, Doctor. Porter, at GoBund and Swimmin', is that we serve back the people who served us. So we we wanna know, Kelly and I and all of our listeners, you know, what is an introduction or a resource or or anything that would help you take what you're doing to the next level?

Well, I think just like this, I'm on a mission to better billion brains. So the more people who can hear about this, the more we improve those brains, the most you know, MIT says, they just had a study four weeks ago. Our brain waves go 10,000 miles away from us. They go into a field of and MIT proved this. So Wow. If we can get them thinking positive thoughts, get rid of the fear based of thoughts, You know?

So any introduction to a podcast, a speaking engagement, you know, anytime that I can get in front of people and tell them the story and motivate them because like like me, I was that troubled kid. If my dad didn't get help, I wouldn't be on this podcast right now. So start young. Start teaching your kids, you know, because they're gonna be the future. And if you can work in the family, you know, it's gonna change the vibration. The frequency of that family is gonna become a learning environment instead of always shaming and blaming each other. You know? And then that'll help the community. So that's that's my goal.

You know? The more I can help people out there, you know, to be on or or some place I might be able to speak, then reach out to me. But the biggest thing is is download our app. You know? Download the BrainTap app. Start using it for free for fourteen days. If you don't like it, just cancel it.

We have we have 50% of the people that try that app buy it. So you it could be, you know, without trying it, of course, you don't know. And then we we only have 4% of the people that ever use our app ever stop. So they use it 27 times a week. I mean, 27 times a month. So if it works for you, it's gonna keep working for you, and we're gonna help you.

And there's and neuroplasticity only happens when you have novel and and, you know, novel change. So every session is different, so we can help you with your brain function. You know? So I love it. For yourself the first thing, and then get other people.
