Off devices early, Every DNA strand has a burst of light. You're like on, off, on, off. Your body's broadcasting this light frequency. Most people don't realize that our biological system is tied to the sun. They call it the circadian rhythm. Every day at 2:00 in the afternoon, your temperature drops 2 degrees. That's why coffee is so popular in tea and sugar around 2 o'clock. And when you think about jet lag, it's really light lag. Everything about you biologically is being tuned to the sun.
Podcast Host
All right, guys. Patrick Porter from Brain Tap. Been excited for this one for a while. We booked this almost a year ago, so thanks for coming on, man. You're not in Vegas often.
Patrick Porter
Nope. No. Yes, it's good. It's good to be here though.
Podcast Host
Absolutely. And everyone, like I said, speaks highly of it. 120, 000 users.
Patrick Porter
Yeah.
Podcast Host
That's impressive. Is that monthly users we have, we.
Patrick Porter
Have 40, 000 on our subscription, but then we have a freemium model.
Podcast Host
Nice.
Patrick Porter
People will come and go, you know.
Podcast Host
Yeah, they need to do super cool. Could you explain what Brain Tap is for people that don't know about?
Patrick Porter
Yeah, Brain Tap is a brain fitness company. We light sound and vibration. So I've been doing this since the. Since 1986. You know, back before it was popular. I didn't know I was biohacking, which what they call now, but what we were doing, we were trying to figure out a way to get people out of pain.
Podcast Host
Right.
Patrick Porter
And with biofeedback, there was no neurofeedback. Some people ask me, did you go to school for neurophysiology or something? There was nothing like that when I went to school. But what we did was we were looking at hand temperature, respiration rate, heart rate. And what we notice is when you start calming down and you engage the alpha brain wave, then your body creates its own natural analgesia. So you don't have, you don't need as much anesthesia when you're having surgery. You can have less pain. But then we found out all these other things it does. So it expands. So light uses, we can get more into it later, but light, light actually will stimulate mitochondrial health, build up the energy in the brain, and then once the energy is there, in fact, it, it's been shown in science that it spins up the ATP production up to 32 times more than you would normally.
Podcast Host
Dang.
Patrick Porter
So if you imagine, if you have a. You want to heal your brain, you want to bring ATP to the equation because that's the currency that heals the body.
Podcast Host
So with red light, specifically, because that's the most popular one, I'd say, does that have any healing abilities for the brain?
Patrick Porter
Oh, yeah. I mean, what, what it is, we actually tune our light too. It's not just 650 nanometer light or a 10 nanometer light. It's actually has a SOFI GEO frequency, it has a noe frequency, and it also has a rye frequency to it. So we use all those three frequencies because then we can target different regions of the brain. Even though we hear, you know, we think we hear, you know, when you think about surround sound, our brain literally makes that stuff up. Right. So it's, it's placing it spatially based on cues from our environment.
Podcast Host
Right.
Patrick Porter
So what we're doing is we're using those same cues, but instead of like showing you a picture of an elephant, for instance, we're going to send you the vibration or frequency of that. But we use like water, for instance. If, if you and I were sitting by the ocean and we're relaxing, we might start to drift off into a little daydream. That's because the ocean actually evokes a 10 Hz potential, which is alpha. So you just naturally start to create acetylcholine, you start to feel good, you start to fall in love. When people say, hey, I love the ocean, they're really saying, hey, I'm chemically bonded to the ocean. Because all brain waves also trigger neurotransmitters.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
And so most people don't. The reason we have a mental health disorder is not because people are crazy. It's because we don't have enough movement. Our brain is, is when we sit, unfortunately, we're sitting, doing this, this interview. But when you, when you sit for 20 minutes, it's equivalent to smoking a cigarette.
Podcast Host
Damn.
Patrick Porter
So our body is designed to move and breathe. And so like when we go to the mountains, for instance, we're walking along the mountains. You people will say, hey, I had a mountaintop experience. You know, they had this great experience. Well, the reality is that what they had was they had a GABA release. GABA is a precursor to dmt.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
So for those people that have done any psychedelics, you know, our, our cells all have DMT in them. So these are naturally occurring phenomena in our body. But most people wait till it happens to them. What I tell people is let's make it happen through you, not to you. So you can, you can become your own kind of generator of these frequencies. And for the last 40 years or so, I've been training people how to change their brain waves.
Podcast Host
Yeah, things like that. How long does that take if you're in a low vibrational state to change your brain waves?
Patrick Porter
Oh, anybody will change in seven minutes.
Podcast Host
That's it.
Patrick Porter
Yeah, there's a, there's a really great product we, it's called the Friends Band that we're partnering with to measure brainwave activity. It's, it's a less than $1,000, but it will do EEG, like clinical level. And when we first met, that was funny. Kimmy, who runs their operation, says you can't move gamma because we did it. We did an experiment with a psilocybin in Dallas. Yeah, ptsd. And some of the vets didn't want to take a psilocybin because they didn't know what would happen. So I said, well, let's, let's map the brains, the people on psilocybin. And we did. What we found was there was a region of the brain that was really highly active in gamma listeners.

Patrick Porter
About Gamma Gamma is also produces gaba which is a precursor to dmt. So when these Buddhist adepts and everybody's meditating, they're in this high state of Gamma, they're actually generating a field of energy because they also show that the the cells, the output of the cell cellular energy increases like I said 32 times. So when you think about your field, your energy field which the NIH actually in 1994 said we have an energy field. All illness starts in the field, not in the body. In it's right in our, it's right in the text. But of course medical doctors don't look at that but it's in there. So when you think about the energy field. So the mind, our, our mind if you will, is the electrical activity that interfaces with our Brain. And when they, when you have that coherence, what happens is it starts to resonate. So it takes about seven minutes to do that. Your listeners can go online to YouTube and, and put in synchronizing metronomes. And they have one that's really cool. It's 300 metronomes. The guy sets them up, starts them all at different times. Within three minutes, those metronomes are all synchronized.
Podcast Host
Whoa.
Patrick Porter
They can do the same things with grandfather clocks. You know when, when they're swinging back. Well, every one of our cells is vibrating and teaming with energy. And it's, it's, it's observing our environment, saying, hey, is this a safe place for me? Is this okay for me? What's going on? Well, our cells are either in protection mode, which means they're closed down and they're, they're in contraction, or they're in expansion mode. Growth, health and healing. That's parasympathetic system. So in the brainwave of beta, which most people operate in, they're shutting down their nervous system. They're shutting down the cellular function. So it's like putting leaves over a fire. The fire's still burning, but you don't get any of the heat and warmth. So we want to bring that to the equation. So a lot of people can't move their brain waves because they don't have the energy.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
So when somebody says when, when Kimmy said, and we did a thing with her where I said, I'll do a 10 minute session with you because we have morning sessions that are 10 minutes to wake up the brain, to get the dopamine, cortisol and neoprenephrine going. So it's, we call it digital coffee. You don't need coffee. Once you do it, the brain gets activated and she goes, I don't know, should you put the band on? We had it on a big screen television in at seven minutes, boom. Her gamma spiked and it kept going. And she said, what happened? I said, well, when it, when it harmonizes, when the brain harmonizes, the two hemispheres start communicating, then it creates this field. And the more energy you have in the field, it just keeps building this field. And of course, there are people that talk about it more from a metaphysical standpoint of what's going on there. But the, we know in, in science that we can actually measure it. Every person emanates a 10 nanometer light. You, you, you. Right now we're, we're sitting here communicating on a conscious level, but on a light level, we're Actually sharing biophotic exchange. We're, we're exchanging information based on light transmissions from every cell.
Podcast Host
Yeah. Because certain people, after you talk to them, you kind of feel their energy, right?
Patrick Porter
Yeah, I mean, when we're younger, we, we notice it more like we walk in on our parents fighting. We feel the vibe, right? Goes, oh man, it's, there's tension in the air. Well, our body is really a sensitive machine that is always. Machine might be a poor word, but it's, it's basically a super sophisticated machine. Every cell is in, in this environment. I guess I need to put in perspective for the listeners in 2001 when they said, hey, they met the human genome. Yeah, I heard about that. Well, they didn't, right? They only mapped 1%. Could you imagine going to college and you doing your, your finals and you only answer one out of every one, one out of 100 questions and you think, hey, I graduated. No, what they found out in 2018 was that those 99% that they, they were calling junk DNA, your body, literally every DNA pair changes every 40 seconds.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
But it's based on something called biophotic exchange. So every DNA strand has a burst of light. You, you're, you're like on, off, on, off. Your, your body's broadcasting this light frequency. Now in that light frequency is information. So think of the mitochondria of your cells like our sun's, our solar system. Right. Most people don't realize that our, we're, our biological system is tied to the sun. They call it the circadian rhythm. Every day at 2:00 in the afternoon, your temperature drops 2 degrees, everybody. That's why coffee is so popular. And in tea and in sugar, around 2:00. Well, what, what's really telling our body to do is to take a break. These bodies were all designed in the Serengeti. I don't care where you live today. They're, they're all designed to live. So if you think about, they were designed to be in that light zone. And when you think about jet lag, it's really light lag because that light is telling you. So if you don't get to bed, and I'm only going to do a few. But everything about you biologically is being tuned to the sun. And when you're out of sync with it, like if you eat poor foods, you're around emf, you're all these things, they interrupt the flow of that information. But if you're, let's say we have great flow. If you get in bed by 10 o'clock, you're going to make more melatonin between 10 and 11 than you will the rest of the night. If you're not in bed by 11 o'clock, you're not going to clean your liver as well, because the liver cleans best between 11 and 12. 2:00 in the evening, at night, this will be the last one. Then we can go on the 11. At 2 o'clock at night, you get an uptick of 2 degrees in your biological system, which is burning out toxins. Now, if you, your body is dysregulated, you might go 3 or 4 degrees. Now you'll start sweating, you'll have night sweats.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
And it's not menopause or perimenopause, it's neurological because people haven't. We hold on to stress, think of every cell as a piezo energy generator. So which means we collect energy. You've probably been at a party in your listeners. Probably been at a party and you didn't want to go there, but somebody told you to go Y. But you get there and they're playing all your favorite songs. You're going, oh, yeah, you're tapping your toes, you're bobbing your head, you're having a great time. And they go, hey, I didn't think you wanted to be here. You go, well, they're playing all my songs. Well, that's because that music carries a frequency and a vibration. And our cells have something on them called a chroma form. It's a little battery. And what it does, it absorbs energy. So you probably heard the expression energy vampires. Yeah, yeah. So there are people that are transmitters. They walk in the room, it gets a little brighter. Everybody gets energized. They go, hey, that person has charisma. And then there's other person walks in, the room gets a little darker. You know, you don't want to be that person because they, they actually are at a frequency where they're drawing energy from people. And it's not like a vampire or whatever. They don't even know they're doing it.
Podcast Host
Right.
Patrick Porter
One of the neatest experiments I've ever seen was during COVID when they took people that they said, hey, do you look at covet as a threat or do you look at as a challenge? You know, like when you look at your life, do you look at as a threat or do you look as a challenge? And what they found was they can now measure light radiation from the body. Right. So the people that looked at life As a threat were producing 200 times less light than the people looked at as a challenge.
Podcast Host
Dang.
Patrick Porter
And that meant they were down regulating their genetics. So when somebody says we have epigenetics so we can, we can look at it as a challenge, our genetics go tick up and we become the best self. Or we go, oh, we down regulate.
Podcast Host
Right.
Patrick Porter
And we prove it. Right. So you know when Henry Ford said, if you think you can or you think you can, you're right.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
And our genetics play that out because the body keeps score. Everything you say to yourself, everything you're around. Basically, there was a guy named Charlie's tremendous Jones, used to be a public speaker, used to say you're the sum total of the five people you hang around with most the last five books you read. That's because those people are inner, are interacting with you. Now in science, we now know through epigenetics that seven generations of our family is influencing us right now. This is in science. This is in the Hopi. Indians said the same thing, but they didn't have the science. How did they know? So it's like all this ancient wisdom that we have is now being translated into modern science because we now have a way to measure it. The universe is really a math problem.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
And as soon as we figure that out, you know, like whatever we're doing, the body has to mathematically, if you will, through frequency response, keep us healthy, keep us in a state of homeostasis.
Podcast Host
Do you think everything can be explained with mathematics at some point?
Patrick Porter
I don't know. I don't have that. I don't have that math. I don't have that math equation. But you know, they, they've actually went back in time to see how the universe was even born because of math, really. Because everything is progressing at a certain rate. You know, we're expanding in the universe and they know that. So if it's expanding at a certain rate, they can. If as long as you have two vectors in space and time, you can, you could get the third, which means it's, it's origination point.
Podcast Host
That'd be cool if they found that, because right now it's the Big bang theory. But who knows if that was accurate.
Patrick Porter
Yeah, well, of course the Brahmin in the Vedas say that, you know, God breathes and we're in one of his exhales right now. But the, the reality is that we, right now we're, we're interfacing here. And it seems like when people think of synchronicity and all that there's actually in India. It's fascinating because I go over there all the time. We're just getting ready to open up India actually with Brain Tap and who are partners over there. And they what we learned about in the Vedas, we're just rediscovering everything they knew. They even knew Kronos therapy.
Podcast Host
Whoa.
Patrick Porter
Everything that we think about in epigenetics and all these things, they have it all in their books.
Podcast Host
So how would they know that back then? That's fascinating, right?
Patrick Porter
Yeah. It's like we lost some kind of knowledge between whatever. We think this is the first time. But the reality is now we're saying maybe this is like the second or third time that.
Podcast Host
Right.
Patrick Porter
We've been through this and we've destroyed ourselves and then we come back and we do it, do it again. So hopefully we get it right this time.
Podcast Host
Hopefully.
Patrick Porter
Yeah.
Podcast Host
We think we're the most advanced humans of all time right now. But there's a chance we're not.
Patrick Porter
Oh no. I, I, I think there's a guy on the Discovery Channel, Graham Hancock. Yeah, I like, I love him too. It's somebody else though. But he's talking about how if a, if a, let's say there's an extraterrestrial civilization out there that's more advanced than us, which would be crazy not to think that way. There's billions of stars and to think that in an outback the Milky Way galaxy were the only place it has biological life or whatever. They could be other life forms too. But when they would come here, they'd say you don't even use 1% of the, the energy from the sun that hits the planet. We're not even, we're, we're primitive. You know, I love the Star Trek where going to cut into the brain. He goes, how barbaric. Because, because the reality is that we can with frequency now. I think what we're going to see in the future is that people will go in, they'll have a, they'll take a scan of you. This is your healthy you, you get unhealthy. They just, they just overlay the, the healthy one over you. They get those frequencies. They get the cells all resonating and vibrating. Whatever's not like that. It's harmonics. Like when somebody sings, they break a glass. That harmonics would shatter anything that's not real for you.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
And so you'd be back to normal because you're just a projection. You're not real. You're, you're light Sound and vibration. There's 99.99999. Whatever. To the infinite number space in you. There's more space inside of you than there is solidness. But it just appears solid. This table appears solid.
Podcast Host
So we're just light?
Patrick Porter
Yes, everything is light.
Podcast Host
Wow. But we have that, you know, we can touch our bodies. So people think we're just physical, but we're not.
Patrick Porter
Right. And they've, they've shown this to the lab too. When they put things out of phase, they can pass through each other.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
So there could be other, you know, it's kind of getting beyond where that's.
Podcast Host
Like some fourth fifth dimensional stuff, I'd imagine.
Patrick Porter
Well, now in science they say they're up to 11 dimensions now. There's infinite numbers. So I mean, I don't think there. If there's one other one, there's an infinite number. So I mean, when you think about. That's why I always say there's only an infinite number of possibilities from any one moment in time. When somebody has an addiction, they take, they, they basically collapse the waveform and they say there's only one solution to an infinite number of problems. So you have an infinite number of problems. You have a cocaine addiction. That's your, that's your solution for everything. But the, the person that is adaptive says no. There's an infinite number of solutions to an infinite number of problems and the variables are all different. But I'm going to go with the flow, right? I'm gonna, I'm gonna be more like a California surfer than a, you know, a Harvard engineer or something.
Podcast Host
Yeah, you can't get too logical, right. You gotta embrace the spiritual side.
Patrick Porter
Right.
Podcast Host
Sometimes.
Patrick Porter
Well, what we saw, if we saw anything over covet, was that the smarter people got, the dumber they became. You know, so, you know, it's like, are you kidding me? There's no science here. Yeah, you know, we, we have a psycho immunology. Our, our immune system is a thinking immune system. So if you want to down regulate it, just put fear in their hearts, stop their oxygen levels, let them outside and get sunlight. Everything they did destroyed our immune system.
Podcast Host
Everything. Even the oxygen things. They were ventilators. They were putting people on. Made it worse.
Patrick Porter
Yeah. And I mean, it's like I, I don't want to say it, but it's almost like they wanted to kill us or something. You know, it's crazy. I mean, why would you do any of that stuff? And why would you give the. They're saying, oh, if you're older you should have this vaccine. And. And we didn't do it because our cats, we had. During a. During one of our hurricanes, we went down to Alabama, where my daughter lives, and we were flying back, and our cat wouldn't. Wasn't allowed on the airplane unless was vaccinated.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
Well, it was nine years old. That cat didn't make it. It died.
Podcast Host
What?
Patrick Porter
Yeah. Dogs and cats die all the time from vaccines.
Podcast Host
Holy crap.
Patrick Porter
And I said, why did they go, oh, we would never. Our. Our vet back here in Newber, North Carolina, where I live, said, would have never given that cat a vaccine. It's too old. But why are they giving our old elderly people vaccines right now? And they're not proven to do anything.
Podcast Host
Yep. And now there's 78. You got to get.
Patrick Porter
I know.
Podcast Host
When you're a kid, it's crazy to me.
Patrick Porter
We have. We have such a powerful immune system. Look at Wim Hof. I always tell people, just go, look up Wim Hof on YouTube. They inject poison into his system. He breathes it out.
Podcast Host
Yep. Documented, too.
Patrick Porter
Yes. In the labs are like, what's going on here? He's not Superman. And he teaches other people to do it. So it's. I always love it when somebody does something and they teach other people to do it. So it's not like he's someone special. He just has a special knowledge. Right. Once he has that special knowledge, he can package it and teach it to other people. So the Wim Hof method will. If you're really scared, you should be learning to breathe. Most people don't know how to breathe. Would be. Sit like this. We're sitting here. We're actually compressing our lungs. We're not getting as much there. There's actually a science out there that shows how you grow lungs.
Podcast Host
You could grow along.
Patrick Porter
Oh, yeah. You grow your lungs, they become bigger. Because what happens is they atrophy. Because we're sitting so much, we're crunched up. And also stress does that.
Podcast Host
Right. That's interesting. So what are some methods to help with the lung stuff?
Patrick Porter
Well, the biggest thing is to start practicing deep breathing. You know, there's. There's three breaths that I always teach everyone that unless they're into biohacking, there's a lot of others. You know, on the Brain Tap app, we actually have breath. Breath work on there. But in the. When you. In the morning, you should wake up and do something that's going to stimulate the hippocampus and the frontal lobe, and that's. There's something called the breath of fire, which is you just kind of hold your gut in, like you're holding your breath. Then you breathe through your nose as fast and rapidly as you can. Now you're going to get a little dizzy, and as soon as you're dizzy, you just take a few deep breaths and then you go back at it again. You do three reps of that. What'll happen is you'll trigger that dopamine, cortisol, norepinephrine, like you had a cup of coffee.
Podcast Host
Interesting.
Patrick Porter
Or you can do what's called a psychological breathe. A psychological breath, which is you breathe in. You know, you've probably been around people and they're really stressed out and they.
Podcast Host
Go, yeah, deep breath.
Patrick Porter
Yeah, it's something we naturally do. But why do. Why do we have to wait to. It happens to us. Let's make it happen through us. So we control it and our breath does it. And when people are fearful of speaking, it's all about their breath. In the middle of the afternoon, we should do a box breath. And the reason I do that is there's. I do a lot of work with Special Forces, and we help them with integrating back into life after all their PTSD and everything they're going through. And they really need to organize their memories because when you have all these things coming at them. So. But let's imagine you're part of Navy Seal Team 6 or whatever, and you're going to go, I guess go after a building, and there's hundreds of people there, and there's only six of you. Well, on the way there, I don't know about you, but I'd be thinking a lot of bad stuff, you know, what's gonna happen to me. But what they're trained to do is do this box breath and you breathe out. You breathe into the kind of four is probably the best way to breathe into the kind of four. You hold that for the count of four, you breathe out to the count of four, you hold it out to the count of four and you keep that box going. And if you can do three to four minutes, you will find that your brain will become clear. You, you'll trigger what we call alpha, alpha and theta brainwave activity that's going to. That's going to increase your GABA and your neuropernephrine. You're going to actually start to feel good. You're going to get it. As Wim Hof says, you're gon high on your own supply.
Podcast Host
Hello.
Patrick Porter
You know, and then for the Listeners just, you understand, the greatest pharmacy on earth is not Walgreens, it's not Walmart, it's in between your ears. Your brain can dispense 30,000 different neurochemicals with a simple thought. The problem is nobody told you the thoughts to think because we, most people are reactionary. So that takes us to the last breath. So the listeners have the three that I always recommend. The three. The last one at night is probably the most important because if you're not sleeping through the night, you're not cleaning your brain. And this is something that blows people's minds because in 2015 in American scientific, they came out with a report said, hey, we have a glial lymphatic system, which means we have a lymph system in the brain. Now if you took physiology, anyone out there listening, you knew that anywhere there's a blood vessel, there's a lymph vessel. But if you go back before 2015, there is no lymph vessels in the brain. All the maps of the lymph system stop at the neck because they didn't know, they never measured it, they never discovered it because they didn't know that it only opens up during level four sleep. Now what's going on today? Two thirds of the world isn't sleeping. So that means their body is, their, their brain is toxic. They're not able to think. And there's only three reasons you have brain problems, thoughts, traumas or toxins. So you could have bad thinking. You could have a trauma, maybe a head injury, sports related or just falling down something and then. But the toxins are the biggest killer right now. And our foods are bad, you know, the environment's bad. The, so we've got to do everything we can to get our cleaning system. Now how that works so everyone knows it's not like you go, if you have an aura ring or a whoop or something like that, you can measure it. We don't like those because they're, they're just making stuff up. They're not emf, not real science. Yeah, but the, the reality is that if you can get an hour of deep sleep, but it's going to happen in burst, they call it, they call them delta burst. So when you're, when you're in deep delta, your, your body goes and you go into a state of paralysis. So if you ever woke up in the middle of the night and you couldn't move, Sleep paralysis, sleep paralysis, you actually woke up in the middle of a cleaning cycle. So imagine you're at Henry Ford's assembly plant. They're building the Model Ts and they need to clean the line. They can't keep building cars. They got to stop the line, right? The same thing's truth. Your brain. So they. The brain, literally, you get locked out of your body because you're not your body, you know, you're, you're. You're not local, right? So, so, but when you animate your body, you know, when, when you die. They did a. They did studies where they showed the Average person loses 3/4 of an ounce when they die.
Podcast Host
Huh.
Patrick Porter
Well, what's that? Nobody's talking about that. I mean, what's the 3/4 of an ounce? Why did we lose 3/4 of an ounce when we die? It's the energy that animates us. That's the real us. We don't look like this, right? We're energy, you know, and we're intelligence, and, and, you know, and we're not going to die. Energy doesn't die. So in the, in the process of all this, these cells and what we're doing, the brain, because we're interfacing with the physical body. So I'd like to tell people, think of your physical body like a spacesuit. You were born, you're given a spacesuit. And this is an advanced spacesuit. I mean, this thing can replicate itself. It does it at 50 million cells per second. It can, it can evaluate the environment, make all the adjustments it needs so that it continues to modify and adapt. And it's good for about 27 years. It's a pretty good spacesuit. But after 27 years, it starts breaking down. You got to do something, you know, and the biggest thing that most people don't do is sleep, because during sleep, what happens is the spinal fluid. When you. If you're breathing good and you're doing the deep breathing, your spinal fluid washes over. They called the glial. Lymphatic. Lymphatic system because glial cells are those. They're like networkers, you know, the, the people, you know, that are like the salespeople that are always going around talking to people, you know, and so they're, they're putting all the neurons together. And what happens is during the night, if those are cleaned off. Now the. Now the hippocampus has a chance to say, here's everything that happened to you today. This is important. We're going to remember it. This is not important. We're not going to remember it because we don't remember everything. But chemically Though we're encoded to remember everything. In fact, even while we're sitting in here, out there in the, in the other room, we're hearing that we're just filtering it out because the brain is a great filter.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
And so some people filter things out so bad that they have poor hearing or like we both wear glasses, you know, these are all things that. These aren't real. But we've. Something's happened within our psychology that changed the way that our brain interfaces. So when we sleep at night, when we clean up the glial lymphatic system, it's cleaning off the neurons. Those neurons actually are intelligent. They, they go seek out answers. And when somebody says, what. What's happening with dementia? Well, it happens because of plaquing. So, you know, like this semaglutide that's so big right now, it's terrible.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
I have no idea what's going to happen, but it's going to be bad because your brain is almost all fat. And semaglutide doesn't care where the fat's at. It's going to get rid of it. We're going to see an onslaught of dementia and Alzheimer's.
Podcast Host
Are you talking about the ozempic stuff?
Patrick Porter
Yes.
Podcast Host
Okay.
Patrick Porter
It's terrible. I mean, and it doesn't discern it. It even breaks down muscle.
Podcast Host
Damn.
Patrick Porter
So. But people will do anything to take a pill and get their solution to lose weight. Yeah, yeah. So the, the reality is that we, we can do that ourselves, you know, but what they're doing is how a drug works is they put it in the system and it get a reaction if the action, if the reaction's what we want. Great. That's also true with psychedelics, by the way, because when in that study I was talking about with the people in Dallas, when we map the brains, the people that didn't want to do a psilocybin, we created brain tap sessions. They were having a psilocybin trips with no psilocybin. They said, how are you doing that? I said, it's not the psilocybin that's doing it, it's the brain's reaction to the psilocybin.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
If we can create the reaction, the brain will create the sensation. It will create the, the dmt.
Podcast Host
Holy crap. You're able to mimic a mushroom experience?
Patrick Porter
Oh, yeah. I mean, people, we get reports on that all the time. We have, we have over 100 sessions that do gamma programming.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
Now, gamma is important not just for psychedelics, for those listening, it's it's important think of gamma as the bass drum for the brain. If you're a marching band, you need that bass drum to keep everybody in rhythm. If as we age, unfortunately, that, that, that gamma rhythm gets dysregulated.
Podcast Host
That's why you lose energy as you get older.
Patrick Porter
Yes.
Podcast Host
Interesting.
Patrick Porter
Yeah. In the energy in the brain is a good point. When we're born, usually our brains are about 18 volts. So think of every cell is. Like I said, it's pzo energy. It's giving off energy. So we can measure that through eeg. That's what. When you put the skull caps on. So if, let's say your right hemisphere now as we age about 30, everybody's usually around 10.1. That's fine, we can operate. But once it gets below that, we start seeing cognitive, cognitive decline. So we need to bring energy. That's where the light therapy comes in.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
And also nutrition, because you need to, you cannot think a bad diet. And I know you, you know the code girls and you know they use frequency medicine. It's nothing in there. What it is, it's telling the cells it's vibrating at the same frequency as the substance they're trying to do. And the cells respond as if it's got the substance.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
Because it's our body that's responding to it. We have this ingenious, like again, this spacesuit, it's adaptive. It's, it's all thinking. It's thinking all the time. We don't think about it. We don't think about the 50 million cells we're going to rebuild. We don't think about our liver cleaning. And, and that's a, another thing for the listeners when the ozempic. The real problem is stress. We have something called the liver. Right. So the liver also controls brain function. But the, the liver holds 25 grams of sugar, equivalent to 25 grams of sugar. It's not really sugar, but it's, it's a form of sugar. And it's there because we make our own sugar. 100 years ago, the average American ate less than five pounds of sugar a year. Today they're eating over 100. And it's probably the worst thing we can do to our system because we don't need sugar. We don't even need carbohydrates. We make our own. But so let's say we have a stressful event. Somebody cuts us off in traffic. Instantly our liver shoots that sugar into the system. We can only have one tablespoon of circulating sugar in the system. What happens then is the body goes, whoa, what's all the sugar? We're just driving our car because they're not communicating. It doesn't know the environment. It thinks there's a tiger chasing us. And so the, then it says, okay, turn on, turn on the fat storage hormones that we have, you know, and so when, when it starts doing that, then it starts putting on the adipose tissue. It says, hey, we can use that energy later. We don't need it right now. The problem is we don't. We. When we were developing, it hasn't been that long that we were starving. You know, most of the world was starving. So we used to go through periods of famine which are like fasting, like intermittent fasting. That's why it's so big right now. In why the. Our body's used to that we're not used to having, being able to eat. Like when they say six meals a day, that's probably the worst thing we can do for ourselves. If you, if you use HRV or heart rate variability, every time you eat.
Podcast Host
Check your hrv, it goes up.
Patrick Porter
Yeah. You stress out your body when you, when you eat. Now you can offset that by going for a walk or something afterwards or doing something. But if you just eat and sit, you just. Basically it's like throwing a, a brick into the machine, slowing it down, which.
Podcast Host
Is what most people do.
Patrick Porter
Right.
Podcast Host
They don't go for walks after they eat.
Patrick Porter
Right.
Podcast Host
Damn. Yeah. So you're just damaging your body if you're eating all day.
Patrick Porter
Yeah, some people just constantly eat. And, and what I mean by that is that they're drinking like sodas.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
Anything that has complex carbohydrates, the body is going to keep you. We can either digest. The way the digestive system works just for the listeners. You need four hours to digest your meal before you eat anything else. If you don't, the body never gets into fat burning, so you never tap into the fat stores. So it says, okay, well in, in. It's kind of like the lazy, the lazy person building the fire. They're going to just get kindling wood. So they just keep throwing kindling wood on there. So that means you got to have more potato chips, more, more cupcakes, more. Whatever it is. But if you eat the good foods, the healthy foods, like the essential fats, like there was a study just put out that showed just by increasing your. Like a. Olive oil.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
A half a tablespoon of olive oil, you can offset your chances of dementia almost 90%.
Podcast Host
Damn. From Olive oil?
Patrick Porter
Yeah. Just from. They just put on their salads or, or just even drink it. And because we're not getting the right fats, we're eating. Seed oils are really bad right now. I mean, I'm. This is a nutrition course, but the brain, the brain gets the first cut of all nutrition. So if you're a junk food eater, you're feeding your brain a bunch of junk. And if, if you had a Lamborghini, you wouldn't put the cheapest gas in it. You probably put the best gas in it. You know that we have Lamborghinis, you know, we should be putting the best stuff into our bodies.
Podcast Host
Have you seen the recent autopsies of the brains and the microplastics? Oh, 0.5% of the brain now and only rising. Yeah, that's concerning, right, Yes. I wonder if there's any ways to get rid of plastics in the body yet.
Patrick Porter
Well, they, they show if you get your mitochondria, what I tell people is once you get your mitochondria, it will burn it up.
Podcast Host
Oh, really?
Patrick Porter
It will push it out.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
You know, so the. Right now, unfortunately, what happened with this, all these viruses running around, is they attack the mitochondria and that's our communication system. So it's. Its whole job is to absorb light energy and transmit light energy. It's. It's kind of the intermediate. You've probably heard the expression, the Internet's down, right? Somebody says, yeah, the Internet's down. The Internet's never down. Your connection to it is the same is true with ourselves. Our perfect blueprint is always available, but our connection to it isn't. Because if we have interference from foods, thoughts, you know, damage because of accidents or something like that, we don't get the right signal.
Podcast Host
That's why grounding and sunlight are so important, Right, Exactly.
Patrick Porter
Through the big ones.
Podcast Host
Yeah. You said you've been going to India a lot.
Patrick Porter
Yeah, yeah, we go to. We go to India. We're actually going there in February to open up India. We've been doing a lot of research with Ames Bal and actually we're blessed to be research of the year in India because of a device I created called the Neuro Check. We can put it on you in five minutes. I can tell you nine different parameters of the nervous system.
Podcast Host
Whoa.
Patrick Porter
It's measuring actually energy in the system. And we have other devices that do this as well. Because I think frequency and energy medicine is where the future is.
Podcast Host
I think so too. I hope to gravitate more towards that than Pills.
Patrick Porter
In Western, most pills, they're actually more. More of. That pill is an inert. Just filler that's damaging to the body. And they put crazy in there that's damaging. You know, like, you know, it's aluminum.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
Stuff like that. Because they want to get a reaction in the body and that reaction helps their medicine work better. But that, the reaction. That's why when you watch a commercial on TV, the, the 30 second commercial or the minute commercial is 10 minutes of the real commercial. 50 seconds of telling you how bad it's going to be.
Podcast Host
Right.
Patrick Porter
If you take this drug. But people still take it because they're. There's. They just want to take a drug. They just want to take a pill.
Podcast Host
It's easy. Yeah. Sedentary lifestyle is pretty bad these days. I think the average American walks 4,000 steps.
Patrick Porter
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Podcast Host
That's.
Patrick Porter
Yeah. The amish. What about 20,000 or.
Podcast Host
Yeah. And they're one of the healthiest groups of people. Right. The Amish people, especially mentally. I, I heard like, some stuff about how none of them have autism.
Patrick Porter
Right. Well, when I was growing up in the 70s, when I graduated from high school, my family was Iowa farmers. I didn't know anyone that had dementia.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
Nobody. It was very rare that you would see it. So it's a lifestyle problem. You know, when you think about what they're doing when, when they went to the fat phobic phase, you know, where they're telling people not to eat fat. Our brain needs fat. I mean, we should be. Every day you should look at your plate and say, what am I feeding my brain? Because that's what you're feeding. The rest of this whole thing is just to keep your brain to walk around so you can see it, hear it, experience it, and. And record it. You know, that's a very base level.
Podcast Host
That's interesting. Yeah. I remember being a kid avoiding the fat on steak because of that programming.
Patrick Porter
Well, that might be good too, though. I mean, I don't know about fat on steak, but the. There are good fats, obviously. You know, there's a lot of. Actually, the algae is probably the best way to get your fats. Most people don't know that. Really? Yeah. How do fish get it? Fish get it from algae.
Podcast Host
Ah.
Patrick Porter
So you're. When you get it from. It's kind of like when somebody says they get their protein from the cow. Well, the cow got it from the grass. I mean, I'm not. I'm not a strict vegetarian. I believe you should eat. We're basically Designed to eat anything. Right. We're omnivores. It's a great spacesuit, right?
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
So we, we can eat, we can, it can get by and eating almost anything and surviving. But if we want to optimize it, we want to have an adequate fat, fiber and protein. Everything else is just meaningless, just joyful.
Podcast Host
Okay, I need to look into algae then. I had this girl, what was her name? Energy bits.
Patrick Porter
Oh yes. I, I travel with them.
Podcast Host
Yeah, she's like 7 years old, but she looks like she's 40.
Patrick Porter
Yeah, yeah.
Podcast Host
And she eats algae every day.
Patrick Porter
Yeah, I use them every day. And our team does when we're at events. Yeah, we're, we're good friends.
Podcast Host
I'll start eating those then.
Patrick Porter
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Damn.
Patrick Porter
Yeah, they have ones that are good for the daytime to build your energy and there's ones for the night because the summer build best for cleaning system. And the nice thing about algae is it's light activated. So just like methylene blue, you can put that in your system and you shine red light on it or infrared light. It actually gives it more energy. LG does the same thing.
Podcast Host
That's cool. What other supplements you're taking?
Patrick Porter
Well, I think every person I know should be taking A vitamin B, B3. Most people don't know this, but when the big book was written for aa, he didn't go to meetings, he didn't stand up and say he was an alcoholic. That's a, that's B.S. that's terrible. The. Nobody is an alcoholic. Nobody can drink alcohol. I mean, you can drink it, but everybody's going to be affected is what I'm saying. There's nobody's immune to it. Some people have an allergic reaction to it. Their white microcells go out of control.
Podcast Host
I have that. I get red. I'm allergic to alcohol.
Patrick Porter
Yeah. So they, in the, in the process of it, what, what he did, Bill, in the Big Book, they don't tell the story because it's too simple. Niacin is the one supplement everybody should be taking for mental health. The end. You should get a nice and flush because it's going to help the capillary stay clear, really. You know, and when the capillaries stay clear, you get more energy and more sensation, more. You know, a lot of people are like the, the, the sounds on the Internet where they like, they feel these different sounds and people listen to them. That's because we're so disconnected from all those sounds. But when you start opening up the capillaries, you start hearing all these nuances. And sounds. The world becomes a richer place, but we're so clogged up. And niacin's a good thing, but don't. If you do niacin, start slow because you might get a flush. You know, it'll flex through your system. I remember in, in high school when I used to take it for running. I was a track guy, and my coach told me never to take it out because I was, I was undefeated. My senior year, I was, I was really good.
Podcast Host
Oh, you. What was your event?
Patrick Porter
I was a quarter miler.
Podcast Host
Okay. 400.
Patrick Porter
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Was your time.
Patrick Porter
And my best time was a 50.3.
Podcast Host
Nice.
Patrick Porter
That was back in the day. Now there's people that do it a lot better.
Podcast Host
Doing 40s.
Patrick Porter
Yes. Yeah, I know. Yeah. The. But it, in the, in that time, this was in high school, so in the, in the process of doing it, he goes, they're going to think you're doing drugs. But I, I, what I was doing was using nutrition. I was using brewer yeast and niacin to deliver B vitamins to my cells to give me energy.
Podcast Host
Smart. And it's all natural, so it's not even like an illegal thing. Wow, that's. That's really cool. Are you microdosing these days?
Patrick Porter
Oh, yes. Yeah.
Podcast Host
Mushrooms.
Patrick Porter
I usually do five out of seven days. I'll do some, some microdosing.
Podcast Host
I've noticed I'm way more productive when I do it. It's not even close.
Patrick Porter
I mean, when we measure it on our, with our equipment, the brain, the, the hippocampus and the frontal lobe just get lit up.
Podcast Host
Yeah. Why do you think it's so effective?
Patrick Porter
I, I think because it, it activates those regions of the brain, know, the mycelium network and all that. I think, I think it's training us.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
You know, we think it's nothing, but it's. It's kind of like that. That movie with the, the avatars. Right. Where the, the Earth has an intelligence, you know, it has a design, and we didn't create it, you know, and we're part of it. We're not. We're in it. We're in the soup. You know, a lot of people think we're separate from it. There's no separation in the reality that is. I mean, there's no separation between me and the mic. In quantum physics, we would say there's no separation here. We're. They're. They're all one. We, we, in our construct, in our mind, we create the mic. But the reality is it's just bundle of energy.
Podcast Host
Yeah, yeah. Quantum physics. Physics is next level stuff. That's where I think you'd lose a lot of people. You know what I mean? It's too hard to explain that stuff. People can't comprehend it.
Patrick Porter
Right. Well, they think, they think at this big level, at the Mac, the macro level here that we're at. It's the micro level that's really influencing it.
Podcast Host
Simulation theory, right? Yeah. I remember growing up, I was like, no, we're not in a video game. There's no way. But as I get older, I feel.
Patrick Porter
Like, well, how many listeners out there? You think about a person, they text you or they call you. We're quantum entangled. If you, if you spent time with somebody, even if it was on a television, there's an entanglement because your brain goes, hey, our mirror neurons are always looking at the environment going, wow, am I going to need this information later? If you're meaningful and useful, your brain's going to mark that out and say, hey, I need to remember that person.
Podcast Host
Yeah, that happens almost every day to me where I'll think of someone, they'll either text or call me that day and it'll be someone I haven't talked to in a while sometimes too.
Patrick Porter
Right. We know, we now know in science that your thoughts are non local. When you have a thought, it actually leaves your brain, goes somewhere. Really? Yeah, you're actually. It's magnetic energy. So you know when somebody says, what do you mean? I go, have you ever used a damn radio? What do you think makes that happen? There's a crystal that oscillates and when, when the frequency matches that crystal's frequency, it vibrates and makes a sound. And they figured out how to make that sound. Make music or voices or whatever. That happens every time. It's happening to every cell. You're, you have extracellular matrix in you right now. It's your water system. It's a crystal. You are broadcasting and receiving information based on that matrix. Now if you put a bunch of soda pop in it and sugar, then you've messed up that crystal.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
And then you go, damn, I can't believe I'm not healthy. Well, you're building your suit as you go. You know, it's like we're putting out the fires while we're living in the house.
Podcast Host
Right.
Patrick Porter
You know, and if you don't, that's why you have to take some time to really clean house.
Podcast Host
Yeah. Get everything going, cleanse up for sure. Do you think the soul exists outside the body? Then that Being said, I think the.
Patrick Porter
Soul exists in an infinite field. I mean, we have access to it, but it's. This is. It's kind of hard to explain that if you think of sacred geometry and how everything works in folds and in and out of each other. It's here, but it's not here. It's. I like what Osho said. I spent some time at his ashram. He doesn't call it ashram because of meditation retreat. But when he died, on his tombstone it said the date he was born that he died. But underneath it says, I was never born and I never died. I wasn't here. I wasn't here because the, the reality is that we're just here like a blink.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
In the cosmic scope of things, right? And so we, we show up in this form. But what I was saying was we turn off and on. We're not here all the time anyway. In fact, even in psychology, they say turn 25% of the time you go unconscious.
Podcast Host
Whoa.
Patrick Porter
And Bruce Lipton, who's a good friend of mine and we, he teaches at quantum university Where I'm the dean of brain based medicine. And he talks about 95% of what controls what you are and what you do today is controlled by your subconscious, not your conscious mind. What blows my mind is everybody's trying to change their conscious mind. Your conscious mind is nothing. It's like telling the front desk administrator what to do. You got to get back into the boss. And that's why when we get to these altered states, these alpha and theta say, and why people do even any psychedelics or these mushrooms, because you're turning on these different brainwave frequencies, there's five primary brainwave frequencies. And think of them like wi fi networks, right? If you're at somebody's house and you go, hey, I want to get on the Internet, what's your wi fi network? Well, if they don't tell you the network code, you don't get in. We have our own network code, right? But if we don't turn on the network, and I'll give you an example, when we work with people who have autism, yeah. They don't have alpha. Alpha is really important for communication because imagine you have to say something. To say something, you have to use both hemispheres of your brain and you have to be relaxed. The more stressed you are, you, blood flow, circulation stops, you can't think, you can't communicate. So what we did with the kids is we showed them. Within six weeks, we increased their alpha activity up to over 20% that now 100 of your brainwave activity. If we can get Alpha up to 20 to 25%, you'll be sailing like nobody's business. Your beta should be about 45%. Your. Your theta should be anywhere around 10 to 20%. You know, and then you might have some gamma there, but it. When you're thinking about it, it's a. It's an orchestra, brain waves. All these fields are happening at the same time. If. If one of them are down and when I do a reading with somebody, they think I'm a psychic. I'm just looking at their brainwaves. Yeah, this is the way you're. They go. How do you know that I go. Because you're accessing the field. The field is telling you what to think. You're not having your own. You're not having a thought. You're receiving a thought. You're not generating the thought. Who's generating the thought?
Podcast Host
Your subconscious.
Patrick Porter
Right, Right. It's. It's whoever your super self or whatever you want to call that.
Podcast Host
That's trippy to think about. So us talking right now is not us talking, it's someone else?
Patrick Porter
Well, like the Sufis, they say the seer is never the scene. So if you can identify it, it's not the per. Thing because we're the observer. You know, every. Even every aging culture knew this. You know, it's like we have this part of our brain, the amygdala, that takes over emotionally. We do crazy things because it's. It's kind of like an autopilot.
Podcast Host
Yeah, because we.
Patrick Porter
It wasn't too long ago we had to worry about even surviving past 27, 30 years old. I mean, I'd be a super old man back, you know, in the 1800s.
Podcast Host
Right.
Patrick Porter
You know, but today I'm like, yeah, you're not very old at all. Because we. We don't die like we used to, you know, but that's still in our. In our DNA.
Podcast Host
Yeah, because you said seven generations, Right?
Patrick Porter
So all their fears, all their anxieties, all their. And all their hopes, all their dreams, all their goals, that's all encoded into us.
Podcast Host
So it's important to address those.
Patrick Porter
Yeah, well, there's a lot of people doing what they call shadow work now, which is basically working on these parts of ourselves they did in Indian cultures for years. And so what we're saying is, you know, you don't have to agree with mom and dad, but if you don't know that you're being controlled by that. You know, like somebody said, my dad was an alcoholic. He was very good at it. I'm not an alcoholic because I don't drink alcohol. That's one way to solve it. You know, you don't have to be an alcoholic. Just don't drink alcohol. Alcohol is not needed to live on this earth. Smoking isn't needed on this earth. Almost every problem we have is man made.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
You know, somebody says, oh, I can't do it because I smoke. Well, stop smoking. Oh, I can't do that. Well, it's because You've trained this 100 billion neural bed processor called the human brain to predictively tell you when to smoke. You know, a smoker.
Podcast Host
Yeah, my dad used to smoke a lot.
Patrick Porter
They'll get a pack of cigarettes, they'll smoke 20 cigarettes a day.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
I always ask them when I used to have smoking clinics, I go, how do you know to smoke 20 cigarettes a day? I'm too busy, I'd forget. Oh no, a smoker will smoke that pack of cigarettes every day.
Podcast Host
They'll find time.
Patrick Porter
Yeah. Their brain will prompt them. Oh, I'm done with the project. I didn't have a cigarette. I just eat a meal. I need to have a cigarette. I just had sex. I need to have a cigarette. Whatever it is, they, they, they've keyed those in their triggers. Just like when you look at commercials. They use these kind of triggers in commercials. Like the old roll commercials. How do you spell relief? Oh, rlids. Right. And they actually did a survey in New York with seventh graders back when the commercial was running and 93% of them spelled relief, R, O, L, AIDS.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
And some of them actually went up to their teacher and said, hey, I spelled it right. What are you, what are you doing?
Podcast Host
Crazy.
Patrick Porter
Because they, it was ingrained in their head because their brain, they, they thought, oh, that's how you spell relief. So everything's, all of our thoughts are beads on a string. So we don't like where the strings pulling. We can go in and change that.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
You know, if you don't change it, it's not your parents fault. You know, a lot of people, the old psychology, my background psychology, obviously my degrees in psychology. But the, the reality is that our psychology system is broken. Why would somebody goes, I've been going to a therapist for 20 years. I said, when did you figure out it didn't work? You know, 20 years.
Podcast Host
They want you as long as possible as a therapist.
Patrick Porter
Right.
Podcast Host
When you should be in and out. It shouldn't be a 20 year process to fix trauma.
Patrick Porter
Should have a Specific problem, like what they would do in the. If you were a shaman in a tribe, you have a problem. Okay, we're going to take you on this journey. Blow it out, get back to work. You know, you didn't get to keep going to the therapist. I'm not. If somebody has clinical problems that, I'm sorry for you, but the reality is that it's a physiological problem.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
Our nervous system controls our thinking more than our brain controls it. This brain up here doesn't do all the thinking. Our gut brain does more thinking than the brain. Between our ears, there's three brains. There's the brain in our head, which most people think that's the only brain. And then we have our gut brain, which has born around connections. That's why we have emotions and feelings. But our heart brain is one controls the whole show. We have 40,000 neutrino cells. This brain in our heart actually thinks, has emotion, has memory. That's why when they do heart transplants, a lot of times the transplant e will start to have the same addictions that the one before it had it.
Podcast Host
Wow, I didn't know that.
Patrick Porter
Yeah. There's a great story that they talk about a guy who loved Kentucky Fried Chicken. And this guy was a. He got into being healthy to try to save his heart. So he had all these healthy routines, and as soon as he had his heart transplant, he started craving Kentucky Fried Chicken. He couldn't help it.
Podcast Host
Damn.
Patrick Porter
And they said. And then they found out that the guy that he got the heart from love Kentucky Fried Chicken. We just eat it all the time.
Podcast Host
Crazy. A lot of organs store memories, right?
Patrick Porter
Yes. Well, there's, there's a saying the issues are in the tissues. Right. But in. When I, I talked earlier about the NIH having the, the biosphere, they actually did an experiment with mice and they ran mice through a maze. And then they systematically took the brain of the mice out. And as they systematically took the brain out, they were trying to figure out where did they store the memory of that maze.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
Patrick Porter
I don't know if you know this, but if one mice runs the maze correctly, they have to change the maze everywhere in the world. What every other mice knows how to run. Yeah. So they know that these mice, they're all receiving the same information. So what they found out was they took the whole brains out of all these mice. They were just had brain stems and they're still running the maze.
Podcast Host
What.
Patrick Porter
So what they figured out was the information is not stored in the tissue, it's broadcast through the tissue. But it's actually stored in the field.
Podcast Host
Whoa. Subconsciously.
Patrick Porter
Yeah. So you're scoring the energy around you, you're carrying it with you.
Podcast Host
Yeah, because a lot of animals have survival instincts, right? Like looking over their shoulder, whatever. So that's just subconscious.
Patrick Porter
Right.
Podcast Host
Dang, that's fascinating.
Patrick Porter
Well, we're programmed in like when, when somebody thinks, how did I learn all this language so quickly and do all these things? Well, we had all those memories. We just have to activate them. Yeah, we have, we have, we have the memories of every generation back to the very beginning of time inside you right now. And, and the Hopi's also believe. Now, our science doesn't say this, but the Hopies believed seven generations ahead of time. That's spooky.
Podcast Host
That is so you.
Patrick Porter
You're seven generations from you. Or doesn't even have to be your kids, kids. It could be your, your sister's kids kids or your brother's kids kids, because they're also quantum entangled.
Podcast Host
Well, look at all the movies that were talking about AI like 50 years ago. Yeah, 25 years ago.
Patrick Porter
Right.
Podcast Host
So I could see that for sure. When you see these viral videos of these lie detector tests where like some guys hooked up to the machine or do you think those are accurate?
Patrick Porter
Well, they're accurate in. Unless the person knows how to manipulate them.
Podcast Host
Oh, so you can manipulate.
Patrick Porter
Oh, yeah, I've done that all the time. I mean, we, we've actually helped people who maybe they smoked a little marijuana when they were younger and they were going to be a fireman or a policeman and they're going to be asked, have you ever done marijuana? And now I don't think it's the biggest stigma, but it was at one time. Yeah, it was. And it's also, it's just what they call a galvanic response. We're looking at the stress response. So most people cannot not have a stress response when they're lying. So that's what they're picking up on. So it's true in the fact that you're getting a response. It's not true that they're lying, it's just a. True that they're uncomfortable and they're doing.
Podcast Host
They're just measuring their response. But what if you get nervous when you're telling the truth too?
Patrick Porter
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's why they're, that's why sometimes they're not admissible in court because they're not accurate. I, I trained the Nate, I trained the Texas Rangers how to do HYPNOSIS during interrogation.
Podcast Host
Hypnosis, yes.
Patrick Porter
So they. They videotape it. It's different. So they're the only law enforcement agency that uses hypnosis. And what we. Because in hypnosis, you have something called hypernisia super memory. So you're in this alpha theta state, so you remember more. And so I remember one. One time we were doing a film with a guy, an interview, and he couldn't remember what happened at the accident. He saw somebody get killed.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Patrick Porter
But it was such a horrendous thing. He blacked it all out. But under hypnosis, he remembered the whole thing. And he was, like, blown away that he remembered it. He even remembered the license plate number on the truck.
Podcast Host
Holy crap.
Patrick Porter
They went and found the guy. So, I mean, they're. Our brain knows a lot more than we think it does. You know, you've probably had this happen to you or you know somebody that does you. You're looking for the salt shaker or the ketchup in the kitchen and you're not finding it. And somebody's in the dining room saying, it's right there on the counter, is right there. And then finally they come out and they go, hey, it's right here. And you go, well, it wasn't there a minute ago. That's because in neuroscience, we know you. You render 90% of your reality, 5% on each side is all you. And you write it in, you're building it. Now, the better, the more energy, the more vitality you have. You know Danica Patrick? Yeah. Race car driver. I got a chance to measure her brain. One of the most powerful brains I've ever measured. Most people are around less than 5,000 in this scale that we have. She was at 32, 000.
Podcast Host
Holy crap.
Patrick Porter
Now, what she does in every race car driver does this. But this was the first one I ever got to measure. They're predicting the future faster than we can perceive it because our brain is only able to process 180 miles an hour. He's driving 220 miles an hour. How is she doing that? She's doing it because her brain is predicting the future fast. And they taught this to all of our astronauts because if our astronauts think in time, they're dead. They have to think ahead of time. They call it precognitive thinking. They teach every astronaut this because you got to think what's going to happen in chess, players do this all the time. You know, people who are long view thinkers do it all the time. Most people are just reactionary.
Podcast Host
I Definitely want to measure mine. I'm a chess player. I'm top 1% in chess.
Patrick Porter
Yeah. So actually I have with me if you.
Podcast Host
Oh, let's do it after. How long does it take?
Patrick Porter
About five minutes.
Podcast Host
Oh, let's do it. Hell yeah. Well, Patrick, it's been fun, man. Where can people find Brain Tap and learn more about you?

Digital Social Hour: Unlock Your Brain's Full Potential with Biohacking Tools | Patrick Porter DSH #1151
Release Date: January 30, 2025
Introduction
In this enlightening episode of Digital Social Hour, host Sean Kelly engages in a deep and unfiltered conversation with Patrick Porter, the visionary behind Brain Tap, a pioneering brain fitness company. Patrick delves into the intricacies of biohacking, exploring how light, sound, and vibration can optimize brain function and overall well-being. Drawing from decades of experience and cutting-edge research, Patrick offers listeners valuable insights into unlocking the brain's full potential.
Understanding Brain Tap and Biohacking
Sean Kelly welcomes Patrick Porter, highlighting the impressive user base of Brain Tap—40,000 subscribers and 120,000 monthly users. Patrick introduces Brain Tap as a company focused on brain fitness through the use of light, sound, and vibration technologies, a concept he has been developing since 1986.
Patrick Porter [01:26]: "Brain Tap is a brain fitness company. We use light, sound, and vibration to enhance brain function."
Patrick explains that early biohacking efforts were aimed at pain relief using biofeedback methods, tracking metrics like hand temperature, respiration rate, and heart rate. These methods revealed that calming the mind and engaging alpha brain waves naturally reduced pain, eliminating the need for excessive anesthesia during surgeries.
The Power of Light Therapy
A significant portion of the discussion centers around the role of light in brain health. Patrick emphasizes that light therapy doesn't just involve standard wavelengths like 650 nanometers but incorporates multiple frequencies to target different brain regions effectively.
Patrick Porter [02:44]: "Light actually stimulates mitochondrial health, boosting ATP production up to 32 times more than normal."
He elaborates on how light frequencies can influence mitochondrial function, enhancing energy production in the brain. This boost in ATP is crucial as ATP serves as the currency that heals the body.
Brainwave Frequencies and Mental Health
Patrick delves into the concept of brainwave frequencies, explaining how different states like alpha and gamma waves affect our mental state and health.
Patrick Porter [03:50]: "Most people don't realize our biological system is tied to the sun. Everything biologically is being tuned to the sun."
He discusses how inducing specific brainwave states can release neurotransmitters like GABA, a precursor to DMT, naturally enhancing well-being. For instance, practices that increase gamma wave activity can lead to improved cellular energy and mental clarity.
Stress, Movement, and Cognitive Function
Highlighting the detrimental effects of a sedentary lifestyle, Patrick draws parallels between prolonged sitting and smoking cigarettes, emphasizing that our bodies are designed for movement and deep breathing.
Patrick Porter [04:05]: "When you sit for 20 minutes, it's equivalent to smoking a cigarette. Our body is designed to move and breathe."
He underscores that lack of movement and excessive sitting disrupts the natural flow of brain function, leading to mental health disorders not because people are "crazy" but due to physiological imbalances.
The Role of Nutrition and Supplements
Nutrition plays a pivotal role in brain health. Patrick advises incorporating healthy fats, such as those from algae, to support brain function and mitochondrial health.
Patrick Porter [35:25]: "A half a tablespoon of olive oil can offset your chances of dementia by almost 90%."
He warns against excessive sugar and seed oils, linking them to obesity and cognitive decline. Patrick also recommends supplements like Vitamin B3 (Niacin) for mental health, highlighting its benefits in maintaining capillary health and enhancing energy levels.
Enhancing Sleep for Brain Detoxification
Sleep is critical for brain health, particularly for the glial lymphatic system responsible for cleaning toxins from the brain.
Patrick Porter [05:00]: "If you can get an hour of deep sleep, but it's in bursts called delta bursts, your spinal fluid washes over, cleaning the neurons."
Patrick emphasizes that modern lifestyles, which often disrupt natural sleep patterns, lead to toxin buildup in the brain, contributing to neurological disorders. He advocates for practices that promote deep, uninterrupted sleep to ensure effective brain detoxification.
Advanced Biohacking Techniques
Patrick introduces advanced biohacking tools like the Friends Band, an EEG device that measures brainwave activity at a clinical level, enabling users to monitor and enhance their brain health actively.
Patrick Porter [04:55]: "Anybody can change their brainwave state in seven minutes using our tools."
He shares anecdotes about experiments where brain tap sessions induced gamma wave spikes without the use of psychedelics, demonstrating the profound impact of controlled light and sound frequencies on brain activity.
Connection Between Mind and Body
The conversation explores the intricate relationship between the mind and body, highlighting how thoughts and emotions influence physical health through bioenergetic exchanges.
Patrick Porter [10:43]: "Every person emanates a 10 nanometer light, broadcasting and receiving information through light transmissions from every cell."
Patrick discusses concepts like biophotic exchange and quantum entanglement, suggesting that our thoughts and interactions resonate beyond conscious perception, affecting both personal and collective well-being.
Overcoming Psychological Barriers
Patrick addresses the psychological barriers that prevent individuals from harnessing their full brain potential, such as entrenched habits and subconscious programming.
Patrick Porter [49:40]: "Our psychology system is broken. Most people are reactionary, not proactive in changing their subconscious triggers."
He advocates for shadow work and conscious efforts to reprogram subconscious responses, enabling individuals to break free from negative patterns and enhance their mental resilience.
Final Insights and Future Directions
As the conversation wraps up, Patrick emphasizes the importance of integrating physical movement, proper nutrition, deep sleep, and advanced biohacking tools to achieve optimal brain health.
Patrick Porter [58:23]: "You are far more intelligent than you think. You just need to activate those regions."
He shares his vision for the future of frequency and energy medicine, highlighting ongoing research and the expansion of Brain Tap into new markets like India.
