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