Brainwaves, Mental Health and Stress

Introduction to Dr. Porter and Brain Health 0:00

Welcome back everyone. So we're talking to Doctor Porter today. Really excited because as we've been sort of out there in the world going to different conferences and events, we always see this fine gentleman surrounded by a crowd of people trying to pick his brain and figure out how they can fix their own. You know, because he's done some brilliant work. I had the pleasure of sort of, you know, to going the side and chatting with you for a minute and learning a lot. So, first of all, welcome. Thank you for being here.

It's great to be here. Thanks for having me. And it's really cool what you've done. We're going to dive into some of that work to figure out how everyone's brain actually works. And then we're going to talk about some of the solutions you build. But what you're doing is truly phenomenal. We're going to get into that as well. But maybe we'll start there in terms of how you think about the brain. And, you know, the current state, like what's going on today. Why is everybody having so many problems?

Well, you can think of the brain kind of as a metaphor. It's like the the master control center of of an airport. You know, it controls the planes coming in and out. It controls every activity of the body. And there's actually three brains I want to make sure everyone understands. There's the brain between our ears, which most people give a lot of credence to. And of course, we use that as the the logo. But kind of think of that brain almost like a transmitter and receiver of information. It's it's basically almost like a Google tablet.

It doesn't really hold the knowledge. Your gut, which is super important, is also a gut brain. That's why when somebody gets a, in an accident and severs their spine, they can still digest food. They can still they just can't walk. They can't get the information from the brain in their head, down to their down to the rest of their body. But that brain actually has more neuron connections in the gut than the one between our ears, but the one that controls the whole show. And that's what's causing most of the problems today, is our heart.

We have 40,000 neutrino cells. These are brain cells in our heart that tell our. It basically communicates with the rest of the body twice as much as the body. Talks the heart. So, you know, when you think about people under stress, primarily that stress causes massive cascade of different activities in the body, and it all starts with the heart. And there's actually statistics, even before the last two years that we've all been through, that there's more heart attacks on Monday morning than any other day of the week.

How the Brain, Gut, and Heart Work Together 2:23

And that's because the heart controls this show. So think in terms of the stress that we're under. Just think of this for a moment. Your brain shrinks three quarters of an inch every night when you sleep, but we can hydrate it. It comes back to life and, you know, feed it essential fats. And it's working. But a year of prolonged stress will damage the brain in such a way that it will actually atrophy three quarters of an inch. So we have to do something to keep our brain functioning at peak performance or stress, which now everybody seems to think is normal, right?

This isn't a normal, you know, we can't even turn on the television, the radio, even check the internet without somebody telling us what stressful things going on from wars all over the world to, what's going on with our health and try to make decisions for us. So the brain's really, you know, they say a confused mind doesn't make a decision. So a lot of people are just sitting there stressing out in their own juices, and that's probably the worst thing that could happen to them right now. Yeah, there's this hyper constant delivery of stressful load no matter where you go.

And it just the way content is delivered. There's the micro like it's been refined for us, but it's all headlines. It's all like wow factor and sizzle which really messes with your head. And you know, there's something that you I've heard you say, which is, unlike what other people say, it's not about eliminating stress, it's about managing it. In fact, you all you often say you can't eliminate it. So what do people do there? Right. The key thing is that just like all the people out there optimizing their health with other supplements or activities, there's a combination of those.

It's going to be very powerful for the brain. In order to really manage the stress, there's three waves to this wellness solution. Number one is you. You can't think of bad diets. You've got to be eating healthy foods, taking your supplements, taking care of your body. Number two, you've got to get up and move and breathe. You know. And that's one of the things great with the DNA company. You can tell them what might be the best way to move and breathe, what foods are going to be good for them because those are those are unknown stressors.

They might think they're doing all the right things, right? Right. But they're not. And then number three is we need some form of brain fitness. And that's where brain tap comes in where we we talk about light sound, vibration and just tuning up the brain. You know, think of it as the, the CPU of the body. And if it's not running at the right clock speed, then the rest of the system, it's like having too many windows open. That's what the stress is like when you have to reboot your computer because you ran out of memory, you know?

But with us we have infinite space, so it just keeps the load, keeps getting stronger and stronger. So we have to have a way to naturally disassociate from that stress. And there's a lot of ways you can also you can do it through breathwork. If you want this breathwork you can do there's yoga, there's chi, there's dance. You can eat healthy foods, but you still have to take some time to disassociate, unplug from what's going on in the world around you and plug into the world that's happening within you.

How are you interact with the information you have available to you, and are you a stressor? You know, some people actually don't get out of bed. Do they have adequate stress? You know, they're there and they wake up. They're feeling good. But then they they amplify the days experienced by catastrophizing what might happen during the day. So and that happens the night before when we go to sleep. And also our morning routine. So we can talk a little bit about those two things if you feel appropriate.

Sure. So something you said really resonated because me recently. I mean, you know this well, we're in a growth phase of our business and we're really trying to get out there and help people. And so I got to this point where it was it was a complete overwhelm, right? There were several hundred, sometimes 4 or 500 emails a day, phone calls, text that's before I got to my work, right? The projects and things I actually had to work on legal, accounting, etc. thinking about funding and how to grow the company.

And I found that just intuitively, I had to tell people to stop contacting me, right? I had to tell people like, unless you actually need me, please, the internal team at least. Right. So so you talk about brain fitness and literally there's think about the way you train your muscles or you're burning fat. We don't think about the brain that way. Firstly, this phenomenon of these windows doing is there a measure or is there a known load that's appropriate for us, and how do we know when we got there?

And then how does this help that. Right. Well, you could look at we have a device called the neuro check where we can actually check the body. We're working to get that integrated with the oring. The bio strap, the Apple Watch. But for now, you can for those out there that have these smart devices, you can look at your hrb that the heart rate variability is really a sign of not immediate pending doom, but it tells you you're on the roadmap to doom, or you're on the road back to health and vitality, because you can look at that score on any device.

They're all different. And I can tell you right now, the aura ring gives you a better sleep score, but it gives you a harder HIV score where the bias trap gives you a nice HIV score. But it gives you a very tough sleep score. So they all have different algorithms where they figure this out.

Managing Stress Through Lifestyle and Brain Fitness 7:27

And what I found in our sleep studies, which is one of the main factors for health, of course, sleep is very important and I use my iPad at home. I mean, sleep protocols are so important, but the key is to really mitigate when you know you're under stress, when you know you feel stressed. And this usually happens to everybody comes to a stress point because the body, the biological system of our body reboots every day. About 2:00. Wherever you're at in the world, this is a biological trait that we all have.

That's why we have tea time. If you're in London or you in American Canada, we go get coffee. You know, maybe you get a chocolate. These are biological ways to boost our energy. When we really want to do electrical ways, we are electrical beings or beings of light. Really, they they have something called bio fatigue exchange at the cellular level. So the sun is actually playing with our cellular system. That's what happens for jet lag. You know, when you fly across time zones, like if you fly flew from Calgary to Phoenix, people don't have jetlag.

They go, oh, I don't have jetlag. Let's because you didn't change light zones. It really has nothing to do with flying in the airplane as much as flying across time zones, which are really light zones, because as we turn around the sun, for instance, we don't produce enough melatonin if we don't get to sleep between 10 and 2 at night and every hour we go to sleep before 12. Actually, can they say is about two hours after 12 as far as resetting our biological rhythms. So I know a lot of people like to stay up late, you know, get up early.

But if you do that, they say the best way to do that is like go to sleep at, let's say, 9 or 10:00 and get up at 3 or 4:00, because our body, the way it tunes into the sun, this is the way the ancient of, you know, when we look at ancient teachings, like in India or over in the East, they will get up very early to the sunrise and there's a reason for that. Our body wants that sunrise and sunset energy. There are actually some religions that actually form their whole practice around this, and it really has to do with how our biological system works.

Of course, we're tuning in. If you're in a spiritual setting, you're also tuning in to that. But the physiological effect they found out that actually can reset your gut biome. So there's there's this magical thing happening in the world, but most people are so stressed out they don't see it. It's kind of like, you know, that that example on YouTube, where they have them playing basketball and a gorilla walks through the scene and nobody sees it. You know, there's there's all these solutions out there, but most people have these blind spots because they're so focused on the stress.

And sometimes it's just so easy to walk outside barefoot during sunrises and sunset. And that can be a big shift for somebody who's highly stressed, because we're grounding that energy into the Earth, we're taking the time to settle back in. Those are key things for brain health and somewhere to even pause and just think about walking through the grass in their very bare feet, even just that brings levels down. And it's really cool what you said about sort of ancient wisdom and culture where, yeah, there's religions like, you know, in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, where there's fixed prayer schedules that start just before sunrise, get up, pray, meditate, set your brain for the day, then let yourself expose yourself to the vitamin D and everything you need for the sun and get going. Right?

So, we don't follow the practices, but so, you know, since you've been talking about sleep, I know I've heard you say before that sleep is not what we think. There's there's a there's a greater truth that we need to understand. So what is that? Right. The greater truth is not time as much as states of sleep. So if you if anybody out there that has the bio strap or the oring or any of these devices Apple Watch, you'll notice when you get an hour of deep sleep and two hours of REM sleep, you usually crush your score because those are the two factors in.

The main reason for that is REM sleep. And some people will consider deep sleep. REM sleep. It depends on what you're looking at, but they are very two very different things. Think of REM as the time in which we're dreaming. And the reason that's important is our body is more in a state of heightened state of gamma and maybe a lot of theta activity, because we're producing a lot of Gaba, which is a precursor to DMT. That's why we dream. And DMT is found in every cell of our body. So it's not just something we like off the back of frogs is people are so fond of of doing today, you know.

But the, the other is that that deep sleep is the real key because they now know that we have the glial lymphoma system, which is basically the lymph system of the brain. And for anyone out there that was in, exercise physiology before 2015, our physiology books, actually the the lymphatic system stopped right about here because they didn't know that this other system only activates during level four sleep. That's the deep delta sleep that we talk about at Brain Tap. If we can get somebody into deep Delta sleep, even if they get four hours sleep.

And this is where the science of sleep within the military came from. In the military, during battle times situations, they say to those kids, you know, and that's why they can do it. They're kids, you know, they're 19 to 25 years old. They can actually get by with four hours sleep and be very efficient. But as we get better looking and more intelligent with age, we can't do that anymore, right? Most people will need between 6 and 7 hours of sleep as a minimum. Most people perform better at eight, you know, eight hours sleep well.

And, you know, you had you've said other things. It's interesting that I've heard some of your talks, you know, when watching your trade shows. And there's a lot of things you say that are sort of innovative thinking

Sleep, Circadian Rhythms, and Recovery 13:01

that it's from your research, what you learn from, you know, kind of watching and learning that you're now teaching and you're talking about this terminology that we don't hear of cycle immunology, which is your thoughts affecting your immune system, you know, so where does that linkage how does that work? Right. Well, we have a thinking nervous system. And that nervous system controls the immune function. So what happens is we know the more optimistic a person is, the more their their immune system is functioning for you instead of against you.

So if you think of your life as a series of challenges, instead of a series of threats, you're going to have better immune function. So when you're doing your DNA testing, if you have somebody who has basically thinks of threats now, this is natural for us. And what most people don't understand is think about it. Anybody listening to this podcast, you made it from the dawn of history to this moment in time. Your DNA, your your makeup. What what made you who you are? You were there at the beginning of history.

You made it through everything from everything up to all through history to this moment in time. So obviously you've got some magic in your cells. You know those magic. That magic is working for you. Now we because let's say these bodies really have not evolved over the last 200,000 years. You know, they're basically the same body. They don't know what happened when we got that gene change or whatever. There's a lot of speculation. I mean, you can watch Ancient Aliens and find out, you know, whatever.

You know, we don't know what happened because there's no there's no evolution from apes to us. You know, it's like that didn't happen, but whatever happened, whatever the quantum leap, was that it? It kind of made that quantum leap and stop. We're still the same. But what changed on us is everything that's going around. And when they did, the DNA testing back in 2003, which I thought was very exciting, they only mapped 1%. I know it's better now because we have epigenetic testing and all that, but they also know that those genes are changing every 40s based on bio for take exchange.

And so what happens is our environment, every cell of our body has something called a cell danger response. So just like our brain does, every cell is a thinking brain. But it's just 75 trillion of them or more in our body. So if it's hit with, let's say, radiation from, whether it's you're flying in an airplane or standing next to a 5G tower, it's basically the frequency. It's going up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up. It's hitting against that cell wall. And that cell wall is trying to figure out what's going on.

Now it we're used to up to about 1940s. Basically we had earth energy. We our bodies knew how to respond to that, you know and we're we they were mostly between .05 and 100. These are the frequencies that our Earth naturally generates in our brain responds to and every cell responds to. But when we start getting up to 50 million pulses per second, like what happens with 5G, or you're flying through the atmosphere and you're getting the radiation, all that's coming in as a frequency, everything is teeming with energy in life, so our body has to continue to adapt, and it's the adaptation.

So they know that psychologically, if you think I love flying, it's fun. It's great. We can land on the other end of that flight and we have energy, vitality and everything because our cells were prepared for that. But if we go, oh, I dread flying, it's terrible. I mean, I've seen people actually flew there. They walked on to the plane at one destination. They had to bring a wheelchair in to get them out because the stress they were wringing wet, they couldn't handle it. You know, they felt like every time the the plane bounced, they felt like, you know, the bottom was going to fall out.

And so that leads to a poor immune function, you know, that's why just because you might like going on a roller coaster doesn't mean your friend's going to like it. Right. And and so it's and we all know this too. If you're in love, if you're with somebody you really love or you're doing something with a team and you really love doing it, you're on a mission. You don't get sick. But when you start getting, you know, when when things aren't going right, you know, maybe something you're not in the flow.

That's when you're more susceptible because that immune function goes down based on your psychology. A lot of times our even our psychology is affected by our physiology. You know, there are a number of people that might have, mental disorders, let's say, but then they start exercising, and physiologically, they get more muscle. They, they're doing something active. They're, they're more their, their self-esteem goes up the self-confidence. And pretty soon they become positive people. And, you know, I've met friends like that before.

They were kind of negative. And then they started working on themselves, eating healthy. And their psychology changed. So I always tell people, you can't just do one or the other. It's a really good if you work on your psychology as well as your physiology and vice versa. Yeah. And that's where you see you see it like you look at a person from far away and you kind of understand their state just from visually scanning them. Right. You can kind of understand their financial state, their health state, their mental state because of even just the gate of their walk.

It communicates a lot, you know. And so this is the work you've been doing where all of that frequency interruption. So there's this belief that I have this, I have anxiety, I am stressed out. I have depression versus you are designed, like you said, there's a 200,000 year old genetic beings to be doing something, but we're doing something very different. The reality has shifted so far and so this mental health wave that we see, there's many reasons, but one of the big ones is we're walking around in an environment we're not we weren't designed for.

Psychoneuroimmunology and the Mind-Body Connection 18:38

And this is where your solution is so beautiful, because you're not saying, here's the pill or here's that's resolve your symptoms, but you're truly getting to one of several root causes, a highly impactful one where light, energy, vibration. You're in the wrong place at the wrong time based on what you're designed for. So some people hear those things light, energy, vibration and they don't think them a think of them as clinical issues, right? They think of, you know, somebody passed away a car accident or whatever trauma.

That's mental health. Can we dive a little deeper into vibration? I know you you spoke of you know, a reality, but how does that take us from clinical labels to you now have a solution that works strictly on vibration and light, right. Well, I really believe we're in an energy crisis within the human being, not just out in the world. You know, where they're raising our gas prices, you know? Yes. We live in an energy economy. So if we can create therapy like anything we do, whether it's a pill or a potion or whatever it is, or therapy, and if it provides us energy, our body can heal itself.

So when we die, it's really mitochondrial death. The cells aren't able to regenerate. They're not able to fire up the the energy. So what we're doing is we we collect energy. To give you an example, our ears hear 25,000 pieces of information every second. Now we don't hear everything or we don't retain all that information. But if you and I were at dinner up, up in Canada, they're having a nice meal in somebody three tables over said, you know, I just did some DNA testing. You wouldn't hear any other part of that conversation, but you would hear DNA testing.

Right? Because your brain has what's called a reticular activating system. This is good. And this is bad because what it does, it's always looking out into its environment saying, is this safe? Am I okay? Can I express myself? And the more we shut down the more we are in protective mode. Just like you know, when you ball up into a fetal position if when you were a kid maybe crying, that's because that's a, that's an example of what happens with the cell under the cell danger response. That can happen physiologically or psychologically.

So what's happening now? Now we now we pulse it with healing light energy and sound energy and frequencies that we know like so video frequencies or energy frequencies. These are frequencies that we now know through science. If your body is exposed to them just by frequency alone, the cells which is your subconscious. When when Bruce Lipton said 95% of our bodies controlled by our subconscious. And really it's the program at the cellular level that's running the show, not the program at the psychological level.

Right. So a lot of people try to change their physiology by changing their psychology. And you can only go so far. But we have to be in environments, you know, like if, in Chinese medicine, they actually call it feng shui, the energy of placement. Because, you know, when you walk into a confusing room and papers everywhere, they used to say that was the sign of a intelligent mind. They now know. No, that's a sign of somebody who's got a distress in their brain. So you want things neat and orderly, because that's the way our brain likes things.

It likes patterns, it likes things like this. So what's happening is the light comes in our body absorbs light. The most under prescribed nutrient on Earth today is light. That's why red light therapies become so popular. We have a, John light. He's the one who, back in the 70s and 80s, kind of engineered this whole light therapy business. And I have one that I look at. It's right here in the morning, but I'm reading because I always read for about, at least, 45 minutes to an hour every morning something.

And I have my light there. That's a full spectrum light. So it's just like being out at sunrise. But I can because we have technology now. We can fake our system because our cells don't know. We're not sitting out in the sun. It just gets exposed to this light in what red light therapy does. The reason it works so well a few different reasons. The body actually, because it wants that light, it creates something called basal dilation, blood flow circulation, nitric oxide release. And every time it does that that capillaries building it builds the lymphatic vessels.

So we're taking care of two things getting nutrients to the cells. And we're taking toxins out of the cells. Once we do that we have a healthy cell. If we don't do that then the toxins will smother that cell. So what frequency and light does main thing that it does, it's going to detox the body. Once we detox the body and get the right nutrients in our innate intelligence knows what to do. We don't, you know, we have to feed it, right? Unless you're an alchemist that can turn candy bars into, you know, bulletproof, protein.

You know, you have to you have to. The more you help your body, in other words, with these healthy solutions, the better you are in. Our body is designed to think about it when if you were a caveman still as a caveman, we would be. We would get up with the light of the sun because he wants to lay in the cave all day. Right? So we're going to get up. We're going to run around, maybe we're going to have 3 or 4 stressors during the day. You know, maybe we might run across Frosted Critter or whatever.

Maybe by the end of the day we haven't found anything to to eat. So now we have that stress, but nothing like today. When you wake up and turn on your phone, the average person looks at their phone 300 times. That's a frequency response and we know that's a dopamine hit. The dopamine is an exciter to the brain, which means it's going to stress out the brain. It's designed to motivate you to do something, but you're just sitting there. You know what I mean? So your body's being told it thinks there's a threat, but it's just an email or text from somebody saying, hey, I got a guest in the front lobby you need to talk with or whatever, you know, so you're you don't know what it is, but the body responds as if a saber toothed tiger just snuck up behind you, you know, and that's happening all day long to us differently.

So what we do is we can create an environment we call it like a cocoon experience. Because once you're once you fill the senses of light, sound and vibration, every cell of your body has a receptor for vibration. Every cell in in the cell there's something called a chroma form. That chroma form is a battery and it's absorbing energy from light, sound and vibration. This is part of our physiology.

Light, Vibration, and Cellular Energy 24:58

I think that we're just on the foreground of how lasers, even though lasers are very popular. But I think that light, sound and vibration is in infancy because eventually we will not be giving medicine because the most powerful pharmacy is not Walgreens down the road, the most powerful pharmacies between our ears. That's what our brain is designed to do, to instruct the rest of the body, which the gut makes most of those. So if we don't have good gut health, we can't make the neurotransmitters, we can't make what our body needs to be healthy and vibrant.

So it's a it's basically three fold. We got to live the life of purpose and promise and looking forward to it. We have to think, move and breathe better and we have to provide ourselves with nutrition. Yeah. So I think, we're going to touch a little later on what you've built because I know people maybe are thinking right now, how do I do this? Like how do I this sounds like lifestyle stuff. It sounds like what you can do walk out in the sun. But people need to know that. I mean, you have over 3000 clinics and we're not talking about theoretical or like, hopefully we'll get there one day.

There's 3000 plus clinics today using your technology to heal people daily. And we're going to get into that. Before that, I just wanted to ask you, just because based on what you just said, I've heard you say something before about, you know, people being in one of two states, the surviving state or a thriving state. And what you just said sounds like it's not a prescription, like, this is not who you are, but you can shift gears and move to the other. Is that true? Right. So there's there's actually three different nervous system states and we need them all.

So we need the survivor state because what if we are in trouble. We need to be able to stop digesting our food. You know, maybe make our hands a little clammy so we can grip if we're climbing up a tree or whatever we need to do, run as fast, we can pump out all the blood to our muscles out of our digestive system. So that's why you could be taking the world's greatest supplements. But if you're not ever relaxed, that's why prayer is so important. Or at least just calming yourself and saying, I'm about to put food into my body.

If you don't say a prayer, then at least calm yourself. Do some breathing exercises because your digestive system is so. It's thinking all the time. So we have this. That's the survivor brain. We could also call that the sympathetic system, right? Most people have sympathetic escape, which means they they've gone into sympathetic experiences. So often they're locked out of their parasympathetic. That's the survival brain. So when you think about the I mean, I'm sorry, the thriving brain, when you think about the thriving brain, that's when you're doing something you love, when you're relaxed, when you're around people that you care about, when you're doing some fun thing, your body just in time.

You can tell the difference. Because when you're in the survivor brain, time seems to run backwards. When you're in the thriving brain, time runs too fast. You know? That's why Jim Croce said, you know, when you find the things you love to do, there's never enough time. You know, the reality is that time kind of spend suspended. Now, in between those two, we have an emergency generating system. We call it the neuro hormonal system. This is why so many people have burned out, adrenals burned out.

They burn out their gallbladder. They burn out their kidneys. Because if you don't put the right electrical information into the body, it's like putting too much electricity through a light bulb. So if we're we need a good balance of that. That's why exercise is so valuable. You know, do something. You really have to stress the body. That's why lifting weights is better than just doing aerobics exercise. But if you can't do anything, just walk. Our bodies are designed to walk more. That's why the, you know, the 10,000 steps on the smart devices.

But if you were a if you were an Amish person, the average Amish walks 20,000 steps, right? So they're going to be healthier. So all of this is regulated by activity. Usually. So let's jump into the work you're doing now because I think people are probably like itching now. Like what is it? How do I do this? Right. So I tried it. I was at an event, we were actually across the hallway from you, at an event in Austin a few weeks ago, and it was my first go at it. I've been hearing from other people on our team how makes them feel.

And like you said, there's these sort of more long haul, like, let's detox you therapeutic, purposes. But there's also like, hey, I just want to sleep better tonight, right? It's kind of like a benefit. So what does brained up to? How does it work? Because it's thinking so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to use five different I'm going to talk from a very high level. There's five different technologies in the headset. You can use it without the headset. So I'll go through the headset first. Then I'll tell you what.

You can do it with just the app. So we have an app, we have a headset. And think of it like going to the gym. But you can take that gym home with you. Everything you need is there. You just put it on each session. We have 1800 sessions, has a different neural encoding, which means the brain will follow this algorithm in different ways. And that's very important for something called neuroplasticity. When we did our dementia study and we had the women who were taken off dimension six weeks, we had 49% more neuroplasticity at the end of six weeks.

So that means more energy in the brain to make decisions. That's because every session they did was different. Never listening to the same session twice within a four week period. Right? That way. It's kind of like I call it tai chi for the mind. We're not going to force it, but it's going to move energy with energy. So we're going to use lights through the eyes and ears. So let me explain that because some people go, why do you have lights in the eyes? Well your eyes are closed. So does it really matter what color it is?

So with with your eyes closed though, that light fatigue exchange is going to create energy that the eyes are going to absorb. Your eyes are 30% of your hearing. And if you don't believe me, just go to go to an event where they're lecturing and close your eyes. Right? You will notice that unless you're totally auditory, you will not hear it. We actually showed in the lab with a live reading of QED that once you do that, regions of the brain will shut down. So we want to keep those rods and cones going.

So you're even though the eyelids are closed, you're, you have a nerve. Cranial nerve too, that's going to respond to that flashing. That flashing actually synchronizes the brain. The brain will follow. The science is called frequency following response. So each eye is actually getting a different stimulus because the right eye controls the left brain and the left eye controls the right brain. Now we're going to put light into the ears when people look at that. And we chose specifically, 560 nanometer light in for 70 nanometer light because these are the same frequencies that our body craves at sunrise and sunset.

So we're going to trick the body into believing. Every time you do a brain tap session, you actually are exposing your body to a sunrise and a sunset. We're also going to, on top of that, take you through the seven energy frequencies, but not with sound. We're going to actually do it through light frequency because your body will interpret it. Even though you're not counting how many times it flashes up to a thousand times per second, your brain is because it's it's actually doing a lot more than we think.

And also that energy through something called photo bio modulation through the eyes, it's being absorbed into the brain, through the ears, it's going through the meridians of the body.

Brain Tap Technology and How It Works 32:28

It's actually opening up the meridians or energy lines to the body. And that that in fact will give energy to the brain through some photo by a modulation works in this way through the ears. All the blood in the body goes through the ears, and it goes through the rest of the body every 45 seconds, but it slows down through the ears. You can take up to five minutes, depending upon your cartilage, and load in the ears. So that means while it's there, we can bombard it with voltaic energy. The hemoglobin then absorbs that light, circulates through the body, and then it finds the cell that's about to die.

But they call it pop ptosis. And and if they if the light can get there, the energy, the energy can get there before the cell dies. That cell will actually come back to life. And in the meantime, because it's light energy, it's building more delivery systems, it's building more trash systems, which means it's building capillaries and it's building lymphatic vessels all around the brain. Because as we get older again, that's when our brain starts to atrophy and it's atrophying because of we could be amyloid plaque.

It could be just stress could be inflammation. So we want to bring that down. So the light is very important here. Now if you don't have the headset you're going to get these other benefits because the headset does it celebrate the results. But what we found was like in our sleep study with, in Australia, instead of that have instead of them improving their sleep by 70% in three weeks, it took those just using the app six weeks to do the same thing. So you can do it without the headset. So with sound is really important.

Now you're not going to get the same brain activity, but you can get the same results over time. You're again, your brain is listening to these sounds. We've embedded AI, Socratic tones, binaural beats, and now musical frequencies as well as music frequency. You like music? That's specifically designed to balance the hemisphere to the brain. The science is called the Mozart effect, because what they showed was when you can balance the hemispheres of the brain without teaching you one new thing, you're smarter because the brain is in symmetry.

If the brain is out of symmetry, you're add ADHD dimension soon Alzheimer's. So that's what the brain that's what brain taps doing. It's working to synchronize those. Now once we set the environment through light and sound and frequency, now we can deliver words and and music in the background. The reason for words. And a lot of people I don't want to listen to words. Well, think of your computer. If you never updated your operating system and you're still using those floppy disks to put up your computer, you know, with five, you know, everybody wants to upgrade the computer system to a better and faster system.

We now know that words change up to 2300 gene expressions, which means if you want to upgrade your biological system, you got to talk to yourself better. The average person speaks to themselves over 60,000 words per day and 80% of them are negative. Right? So so we need to upgrade that thinking. And that's what the that's the last part of it. Now it's not just one thing because the science behind that is also it's outlined in my book called Discover the Language of the mind. Because how we talk to the mind is different than how you and I are talking right now.

The the mind works in pictures and images. Not so much words. You know the old expression A picture is worth a thousand words. So we need to get you thinking in pictures about your future. Re associating your past, we're going to be doing some, we're going to actually teach them how to train their brain to think, which is something that most people have lost contact with. A lot of people are being told what to think, but they're not being trained how to think. I want to teach people how to think about their life in different ways, so that they don't get in distress.

I mean, number one is take responsibility for the stress you have, because I might feel stress about one thing, but you you don't feel it, let's say accounting, because maybe that's like a strong suit of yours where I hire accountants. You know, I like to see the numbers when they work out, but I don't like to do the numbers, you understand? So everybody has a dip, and I like to do art. Like, I like to do creative things. And you meet somebody else to go. I can't do that. So we all have our strong suits.

But how we really improve is taking those things that we're not good at. And making them just a little bit better. And we have these big gains in our life. And that's really one of the features of Brain Tap. That's really cool. It's kind of like you know we all wish we could plug ourselves into the metric machine and upgrade our software. So you're saying there's a there's a way to do that, but it's not in the way that we think that I've uploaded a new skill. It's more like a biological skill where my brain is now more valuable.

I can do things I couldn't do before. And you're making up for gaps and holes that lead to problems. So with all this being said, I've tried it. I felt it. I know some people in our team use it, religiously. Can you just to paint a picture for us, tell us about, you know, one of your patients or case studies and the journey they went through and what the outcome was for them? Well, I'll talk about one that we use quite often now because he's a he's a, middleweight fighter. And he's, he was on ESPN and first he was on Joe Rogan talking about how he started to use Brain tap because in boxing, you know, that's why people that can slow down in the arena perform better than people that see it really fast.

And, so he started to use brain tap just to relax and recover because a boxer obviously going to get in had a lot. So we need something that's neuroprotective or something that's constantly healing the nervous system, being that the brain is 70% of the nervous system. So what he did was he after his fight on ESPN, they asked him, man, you knocked him out for 47 seconds. How did you do it? He said, well, I was in my room. I was in the the locker room before the fight. I had my brain tap on and I was listening to the step in the spotlight of my life, and I visualized myself knocking him out at 47 seconds.

Oh, wow. What happened? So I can't guarantee that for anyone else. But that's a pretty powerful thing I remember working with. I used to work with, suicidal teens and pregnant teens, and I still remember the mothers that would come in and say, why are my why is my daughter telling jokes between contractions? And I said, well, because pain is optional in this world. If you want to have pain, you can experience it. That's a state of high beta. But if you we were teaching the kids to have stress free and almost pain free deliveries because pain is optional in this reality.

So yeah, one of my favorite, one of my favorite stories was with a veteran. That and there's all sorts of stories from sports to I mean, I could I could go on and on. We could spend days talking about it. But this was a veteran that came in, and every time he went up to this third, second floor of a building, his legs would hurt like crazy. They would just drop. But the problem was he had no legs. His legs were blown off in the in a war, I think it was the Vietnam War. And so when he came into the clinic, we were we call this phantom pain.

But that's because pain isn't resident in the in the body. It's resonant in the brain, not in the body at all. The body is basically a signaling system that tells the brain there's something wrong. This person had a psychosomatic experi perience the physical experience that was tied to us. He was in a helicopter. He was about 20ft up and he jumped out. He was a paratrooper. He jumped out when he landed on the ground. He landed on a landmine, blew off his legs. So he didn't remember any of that. On a conscious level, you know, he knew he was on the chopper.

He knew he jumped out. But that's where his memory stopped. But his subconscious remembered at that height he was jumping out of the helicopter. He said that even in an elevator, if he tries to go fast, it will just hurt. You know, he'll feel that pain again. So we had to disassociate with that pain once we did that and got his brain to unlock that memory. So it wasn't tied up in in his conscious thought process, he could then go up and down stairs, I mean, with his wheelchair, you know, with the, in an elevator without it hurting again because his the brain doesn't know time and space.

It only knows experiences. So that's why some people will revert back to childhood, or

Case Studies and Real-World Results 40:48

especially when you get angry. A lot of people revert back to childlike behaviors because that's it's kind of primitive at that point. You know, we have this primitive brain, the, medulla, this part of the brain that basically gets hijacked under negative emotional states. And with brain temple we want to do is calm us down. When we were featured in people magazine in 2006, it was because of weight loss. They asked us to submit somebody who had lost half their rating, kept it off for more than than five years.

We submitted over 100. We could have submitted a thousand. And they picked, Rob Powell, who was in the in there. And he's still a friend of mine on Facebook and on LinkedIn. He's still thin. That was over 16 years ago because he changed his mindset. Weight isn't always what you eat. It's what's eating you, you know? So if you change. But if you change both, if you start eating healthy and then thinking healthy, you'll find magic happens at the cellular level because those genetic cells that respond.

And so you can show up as your best self will show up with you instead of against you. There's so many things you just said in there that were so profound, you know, and, the thought of your body being a signaling system to the brain, meaning that's where the exposure happens. But the experience is lives in the brain. Without that, there's nothing to feel right. So powerful. It is just something that somebody can do at home. Or do they need to find one of these 3000 clinics? How does it all work?

Right. Well, four years ago we started selling this to not just through the clinics. We started selling it to people because you don't have to have a license to operate the brain tap. Although if you do have a clinic, we do have CPT codes. And and you can do that and you can get reimbursement for it. But the reality is that anybody and I think everybody, every home should have a brain tap. Whether you're in school and you want to improve your learning ability. In my book Awaken the Genius, I talk about how anybody's brain can be woke up to think better, you know, sleep better and perform better.

And then you might somebody might want to play golf or another sport, soccer or whatever it is. Hockey we have. We have sports series, but we also have stress reduction series. So it's something the whole family can do. We you don't have to have a problem either. You know, most of our professional athletes that use it, we're doing neuroprotective care. Most of the people that have it out there are doing it every day because they think in terms of, your brain kind of like you think of brushing your teeth if you want to keep your teeth brushing every day, twice a day, you know, is better.

Same is true with brain tap. We need to keep our brain flossed, you know, keep the stuff, the negative stuff out. Because if not, it's kind of like that negative stuff. We'll we'll just build up and cause us to, become less than our true selves. You know, when we're when we feel beaming and full of energy and light and by the way, they've actually proven that somebody who is relaxed and calm and confident actually broadcast more light. One of the things I didn't share was most people in America, no time Brady, he played for the, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but most of his life in New England, our science officer made his clothing.

It's called Tb12 in that clothing, actually a ceramics in it, that our body's light reflects back to us and heals us. Every person on Earth broadcast between 800 and 60 nanometer light out into their environment. This is healing light. So they they now can measure that fatigue exchange, especially through the heart that somebody who's in peace, love, gratitude, harmony has 200 times more light being projected out into the world than those people in fear, anxiety and frustration and anger. So just to preserve ourselves, you know, you know, to be in those altered states of peace and harmony will make our body perform better.

By this, I mean this. Everything you said for the past hour just brings us back to this thought of, you know, fitness of the brain and how do we focus on this or think the belief doesn't even exist? First of all, and most of our realities that it's even a need. But you can see the one last thing I want to ask you, you talked about, you know, unlocking some of these potential meaning you talked about a child and giving them skills. What's the actual mechanism? There they go. What's actually happening when you do that?

Well, our body doesn't know the difference between real or imagined. If I asked everybody listening to if I was to cut up a lemon of nice, juicy lemon and there's the spray of the lemon came up, we might even smell the limit. But if I gave everybody a quarter lemon, that's this. Listen to this podcast. Never put it up there. Let's invite down in the spray. The lemon would hit the back of the throat. And, you know, you might even be like me and start to salivate because the subconscious doesn't know the difference in the subconscious is your body.

It doesn't know the difference between real or imagined. So a real threat or imagined threat, the body responds, is same. The same is true with health and healing. So when we start to rehearse, one of my favorite sayings with my clients over the years was you get what you rehearse in life, not what you intend, because we all know the road, the road to hell is paved with great intentions. Just people. But if we, if we rehearse them, you know, and that's part of the memory system too. Once we rehearse when we might need that information, how we might need that information, when it might be valuable to recall that information.

Our connection to that information is richer, so we won't forget it, you know? So there's just there's so much that we kind of take for granted. But now that we're living longer and we have a potential to live it longer in a healthy body, there's no reason today, knowing what we know about genetics, that we can't eat, think and perform at our highest levels up to the day we decide to leave, you know, there's there's no reason for that. We just need to know the information. And that's where, you know, DNA comes in.

It's telling us we might be doing something we think is healthy, but it's not. You know, that's the key here. This is this is amazing. Honestly, the conversation we got, obviously I wish we weren't kept on time. We go for another two hours, I'm sure. Thank you for coming today and sharing your knowledge. Completely different perspective on how the brain works and what we need to be doing and just the cognition or even the, you know, the reality of brain fitness and it being a thing in your life, that's not even something we consider.

But thank you again for joining me. This was awesome. All right. Well, thanks for having me. And I'm I'm glad that, you know, I really do support the DNA company because you're finding things that people wouldn't even think of in helping them to get into their health. So we're here to support you as well. The perfect place to end. We got to stick the plug in there somewhere. Okay. Thanks, doctor. Porter. All right, all right. Thank you.
