Little one: Welcome to my Mommy’s podcast.

Hi there, and welcome to the Wellness Mama Podcast. I’m Katie from wellnessmama.com, and I’m again immediately with Dr. Patrick Porter to speak extra particularly about methods to assist the mind after TBIs and thrust back age-related cognitive decline of the mind. And Dr. Patrick Porter has been on this podcast earlier than, however he’s an award-winning creator and speaker particular to the usage of mind well being and what he calls technology-enhanced meditation. And he actually pioneered the usage of brainwave entrainment to enhance sleep, focus, readability, vitality, et cetera, and is admittedly on the forefront of this analysis. He has wide-ranging information on a variety of matters.

And on this specific episode, we go deep on what occurs to the mind when you might have a head damage, assist resolve that, what’s occurring within the mind once we see decline with age and ward that off. He additionally provides some very particular ideas that you are able to do at house on enhancing deep sleep, which is significant for the mind, enhancing your every day habits associated to your nervous system, and a lot extra. He has a lot information on this subject. It was actually enjoyable to get to go deep with him immediately. And he additionally makes a extremely compelling case for a way all of us have had some kind of head trauma, even when we haven’t had a identified TBI as a result of we fall so many instances once we’re little and studying stroll. And so how to ensure our brains keep in good well being as we become old and likewise use these methods with children to reinforce their studying and their sleep, which as a mother myself, these items undoubtedly assist the peace and calm of your entire family. So with none additional wait, let’s be part of Dr. Porter. Dr. Porter, welcome again. Thanks for being right here once more.

Dr. Porter: It’s nice to be right here. Thanks for having me.

Katie: Effectively, I’ll hyperlink to our first episode if folks haven’t heard it for context, we go deep on some mind science. And on this one, I needed to get much more nuanced and particular and discuss particular protocols and methods to assist with issues like TBIs and likewise with age-related cognitive decline. And I do know that you just’ve carried out a variety of work in each of these areas. Definitely, TBIs have gotten a variety of press time with the give attention to this within the NFL and soccer generally. However that is one thing that impacts not simply athletes, however folks in all walks of life. And I do know you might have developed some actually particular protocols which can be particularly useful with these. For some background context, are you able to clarify perhaps what’s occurring within the mind when somebody has both a mind damage or age-related cognitive decline? After which we’ll speak by a number of the protocols that assist.

Dr. Porter: Yeah. Effectively, what’s occurring from the attitude of mitochondrial well being is when you might have a blunt pressure trauma, which each particular person has on the market. I imply, earlier than you’re 5, six years outdated, you fall, you’ve fallen down two to 3 thousand instances, you realize, so that you’ve had some. Actually, some folks will say you’re you’re the results of how your mind reworked after your whole TBIs as a baby. You already know, you realize, I didn’t understand that until I had grandkids and, you realize, little Eli likes to run into tables and counter tops, you realize. And now he’s 11. So however he’s we predict he’s product of rubber, you realize, however the actuality is that his mind continues to be being affected.

So what occurs is when there’s trauma, then the blood goes to stream into that space. They name it a hematoma. Now, in the event you don’t get that to these toxins out of there, that blood, that dangerous blood, it simply sits there. So some folks, even 10 years later, have this large ball of blood that’s nonetheless there, and the mind will transform round it. So when you might have these like CTEs or these gentle, they name gentle, however they’re, you realize, they’re nonetheless fairly extreme, these little head accidents, they begin to add up till you get this large one. They name it TBI, you realize. After which, however what occurs is that if they’re not sleeping nicely, the one time the mind detoxes is throughout degree 4 sleep. So we have to do one thing to get into that degree 4 sleep. Actually, they name it the glial–lymphatic system within the mind. And earlier than 2016, they didn’t even know we had one. Actually, there’s not a physiology ebook printed on the planet that earlier than 2015 has a lymph system within the mind, which is type of unimaginable as a result of in the event you took physiology in faculty, they mentioned wherever there’s a blood vessel, there’s a lymph vessel. However for some motive, they mentioned we didn’t have it as a result of it solely activates throughout degree 4 sleep, which is that deep sleep that occurs while you’re non-responsive.

So mainly, consider it such as you’re turning down. Consider your mitochondria on a dimmer change. And while you get a TBI or any type of downside, it’s going to show that quantity down. It’s going to show the sunshine depth down. Our mitochondria is supposed to soak up mild and transmit mild. In order we age, what occurs is, sadly, when you have a variety of irritation. Now, once I was rising up again within the 70s, 60s and 70s, I by no means knew anyone that had age-related dementia. No one. No one in my household. My household had been Iowa farmers, and each considered one of them was 93. I bear in mind 97 years outdated. All of them had been enjoying playing cards. They had been all very cognitive. However our way of life, I believe, is what’s killing our brains as a result of we’re not getting outdoors. These had been farmers. They’d be outdoors within the daylight. More often than not, they’re doing train. They’re transferring their physique. They’re respiration. They’re doing all these items.

So I believe what’s occurring on the age-related mind is when now we have plaquing, and one of many worst issues any individual can do for his or her physique is take statins. And I’d get some flack about that, however statins are worst factor you could possibly put in your physique. Your mind is all fats. So while you strip out fat out of the bloodstream, the statins don’t care. They don’t go, oh, we’re not going to strip out the fats from the mind. They’re going to strip it out of all over the place. And I’ve met so many individuals which have had issues with neuropathy of their arms and ft, peripheral neuropathy. However that tells me that their mind can also be being compromised. And nearly 90% of the folks I see like that inform me they’re on statins. And I say, please get off them. You want, what they’re stripping out your physique wants. What it is advisable do is eliminate the fireplace. I inform folks, individuals are attempting to color their home whereas their home is on fireplace. Whilst you have all this irritation, you may’t simply take statins. And there’s a saying we love, it’s you may’t have the capsule with out the talent. So you may’t take this capsule and suppose it’s going to cease your irritation. All it does is cease your protecting mechanisms. You don’t have the signs. So you’re taking a blood take a look at and it says, oh, wow, your ranges are proper. Your lipids are proper. However the actuality is that it’s defending you. So do one thing in regards to the irritation.

And what I like to recommend folks do, simply so I don’t have an issue with out a resolution, is get actual vitamin C. Many of the vitamin C that’s available on the market will not be actual. It’s artificial. You’ve acquired to get actual vitamin C. And in the event you don’t know what that’s, go to Optimum Well being Techniques and put within the phrase BrainTap and also you get a deal there. However that’s the vitamin C that I exploit. It’s actual. The physique can metabolize, and I do three tablets within the morning and three at night time. And it takes care of the irritation as you age. It’s going to handle age-related irritation. You are able to do, now, Darin Olien, who’s the, he’s mainly the man that produced Zac Efron’s collection, All the way down to Earth with Zac Efron on Netflix. I take what he, he has one other concoction the place he has MSM on this specialised Vitamin C. And I’ve began taking that two months in the past and located, that’s very first thing within the morning. Now, some folks can’t deal with that as a result of it doesn’t style good. However I do a variety of issues that don’t style good as a result of I do know they’re good for me. You already know, however the, you realize, there you really want to make use of pure methods to do this.

One of many different methods to do it’s take actual tart cherry juice, combine it half and half with water. Drink that as your, as an alternative of getting sodas or beer or one thing like that. You already know, that’s going to additionally convey down your irritation. These are simply a few fast ideas as a result of that’s what’s occurring to the growing older mind. When your mind is on fireplace, when you have a 75-watt mild bulb, however you’re working 100 watts by it, you’re going to burn that out. So our mind, when you might have an excessive amount of irritation, the mind goes to really feel the brunt of that first. And so irritation is what’s inflicting the issues we’re seeing. Actually, they name Alzheimer’s now kind 3 diabetes. So while you consider irritation and also you consider stress problems, most individuals don’t understand this, however the largest motive that is occurring is stress. Our livers maintain 25 grams of sugar. And the job of the liver is to carry that sugar simply in case a saber-toothed tiger or and comes up behind you. So it may pump it within the bloodstream. Your muscle tissue now have the sugar they should run away from that hazard. However the issue is that now so many individuals are triggering this stress response from their telephones, from their tv, from their information, no matter it’s, that now now we have an insulin drip. Which implies that the techniques aren’t working the way in which their designed. We had been presupposed to have this stress response perhaps three to 5 instances every week. Most individuals have that within the morning. You already know, and so when you might have this insulin drip, what that quantities to is insulin is a fat-storage hormone. So particularly for the moms on the market, in the event you’re questioning, you realize, I don’t even eat sugar. I don’t know why I’m obese. It’s not what you’re consuming. It’s what’s consuming you. We have to management that liver as a result of that liver produces the sugar. That’s why we don’t really want sugar in our weight-reduction plan. Our physique produces all of the sugar we’d like from the meals we eat, whether or not or not it’s greens or fruit or some type of protein, you realize, the fiber that we’re getting out of the vegetables and fruit. Our physique’s designed to do this. However the issue is that while you eat out of a can, bottle or a wrapper and with substances we will’t learn, our physique doesn’t know what to do with that stuff. So it creates irritation.

So we’re creating irritation by meals we’re consuming. That’s dangerous for the mind. We’re creating irritation by not transferring. You already know, there’s a saying you’ve in all probability heard it that sitting is the brand new smoking, proper? Effectively, truly sitting is worse than smoking as a result of people who smoke now need to rise up, go outdoors, and smoke, proper? In order that they’re standing up, they’re strolling, not less than they’re transferring the place now they’re in. However in the event you’re sitting for greater than two hours, 10% of the oxygen in your mind is depleted. So when you concentrate on that, I imply, that’s nearly as dangerous as sporting a masks. So, I imply, you might have this horrible state of affairs occurring.

After which individuals are not doing something to enhance their mind operate. They’re not doing any mind health like BrainTap or meditation or yoga, tai chi, breath work. They’re not doing something. They’re simply mainly watching tv or letting life occur to them as an alternative of by them, which is an enormous distinction. So the factor about, in the event you’re on the market fearful about Alzheimer’s or dementia, then do one thing about it now. It’s essentially the most preventable illness on earth as a result of it wasn’t even round 20 years in the past. Twenty, 25 years in the past, it was a really uncommon one that would get these illnesses. However now it’s a way of life illness. When any individual tells me it’s a illness, it’s a hereditary. No, it’s mainly it’s a way of life illness as a result of we did a examine in down in Florida in Tampa space with Dr. Kelly Miller. He wrote a ebook referred to as Saving Your Mind. He has acquired a chapter in there about BrainTap as a result of we took each particular person off the dementia scale in six weeks.

So if you can begin early, it is advisable get vitality. Probably the most under-prescribed nutrient on earth, all people’s all the time on the lookout for that magical capsule. Probably the most under-prescribed nutrient on earth is mild. Our physique wants mild. Each cell wants mild. So in the event you’re not capable of get out, they usually say now we’re not even capable of get sufficient mild once we stroll outdoors due to what they’re doing to our environment. So now we have, you realize, all of the air pollution and all the pieces that’s in our environment. So when we have to subsidize, identical to we do with nutritional vitamins and minerals, we have to give ourselves mild. And that’s why retinal flashing, we use retinal flashing and we use the lights within the ears, which we will get into in somewhat bit, with BrainTap. We have to get vitality into the mind so the mind can do the work that it must do. If it’s slowed down with toxins, there’s a saying, your mind will not be functioning due to three causes. Ideas could possibly be your ideas, you realize, destructive thinkers or individuals who have a look at life as a collection of threats. Their mind will not be going to work in addition to any individual who appears at life as a collection of challenges.

There’s only a large examine, I’m truly writing an article about it on our weblog about optimism. I used to be advised my nickname, my moniker is Dr. Optimistic. In order that they mentioned, I’m too rattling optimistic on a regular basis. I mentioned, nicely, I’d fairly be optimistic and be disenchanted each on occasion than get up each day disenchanted. After which when happiness comes, I miss it. You already know, so many individuals are like that. So it’s both ideas, trauma, or toxins. So the one approach we’re going to eliminate the toxins is we’ve acquired to eat higher. We’ve acquired to maneuver. We’ve acquired to breathe. We’ve acquired to sleep. And we’ve acquired to do one thing to train that mind so we will get into that deep rhythm sleep that’s going to detox our mind.

And these are all issues that I really like when any individual says, no, it’s hereditary. No, it isn’t. If it was hereditary, it might have been round in 1900s and 1800s. It wasn’t. And other people go, nicely, individuals are dwelling longer now. Effectively, we’ve proven even folks over 100 years outdated can enhance their mind operate. So your mind by no means stops growing, studying, and therapeutic itself. Your mind is designed to heal identical to your physique is designed to heal, however you’ve acquired to provide it the suitable supplies.

Katie: Yeah, I believe that’s so key. I say on right here lots that on the finish of the day, we’re every our personal major healthcare supplier as a result of we’re accountable for the every day decisions that affect our our bodies and our brains and our well being. And I additionally suppose we’re, on the finish of the day, are our personal healers, and nobody can do this work apart from us. However I really like when there are instruments like this that assist that course of turn into way more environment friendly. And I really feel like each time you communicate, I take so many notes, however I really like that you just introduced up the liver side as a result of I do know we’re seeing actually an enormous statistical rise in issues like non-alcoholic fatty liver illness, which might even be in that class that didn’t exist just a few a long time in the past. And now we’re seeing it in youngsters. And so, to me, it is a fairly imminent downside and likewise one which’s inside our management to alter, which I believe now we have much more energy in that realm than we predict we do usually. And that these are some easy methods, perhaps not straightforward, however easy, that we will do that may actually begin shifting that.

I believe that the deep sleep part you talked about, I’m glad that data is lastly being understood that mind flushes throughout that deep sleep section of sleep, however it looks as if many individuals wrestle with entering into deep sleep or getting sufficient deep sleep. And I do know BrainTap may also help with that as nicely. I additionally know there’s a variety of science and analysis you guys have carried out on the particular results of the BrainTap on TBIs and on age-related decline as nicely. Are you able to clarify what the BrainTap is doing and what you’re seeing in these research?

Dr. Porter: The very first thing I’m going to speak about is the rationale that TBRx, which is Tom Brady’s whole physique program, was once referred to as TB12, his exercise program. He’s now our sport. He’s now our man that goes to the sports activities and teaches the athletes do. Peter Cummings, who’s their medical director, and Alex Guerrero, who’s the PT. What we did was we confirmed him a examine we did in Gaylord, Michigan. We had a chiropractor who’s the physician for the varsity. And for the 12 months, for, the examine that we printed was for the entire 12 months, we took any pupil on the college that had a concussion. All of them acquired care. All of them acquired medical care. So no person missed out as a result of that’s the issue with doing these sorts of research is you may’t have a placebo as a result of all people wants one thing. So what we did was we had, all people acquired medical care, like the usual medical care that we do, however 50% of them did BrainTap simply throughout that coaching session. In order that meant solely two to 3 instances every week throughout their restoration interval. On the finish of their restoration interval, one 12 months once they went again to play, whether or not or not it’s a cheerleader, a soccer participant, tennis participant, it didn’t matter, if that they had a concussion, they had been put into the protocol.

One 12 months later, Dr. Arkfeld went again and did neurological testing with them. The group that used BrainTap was 30 to 70% neurologically higher than the group that didn’t. In order that meant if we will get them utilizing their mind by mind health early, they get higher outcomes down the highway. And that is what was placing. And we’ve had those who had 10-year concussions or no matter.

And so we’re doing extra research proper now. We’ve an enormous examine occurring at Seminole State School for Alzheimer’s as a result of we needed to point out, now, Alzheimer’s is somewhat completely different than dementia as a result of consider it like, you realize, we have to, the earlier you may work on the mind, the higher, you realize? So in the event you’re sitting there proper now considering, gosh, I’m fearful that is going to occur to me, then begin doing one thing about it. Begin doing one thing optimistic about it. It’s not going to come back in a capsule. There’s no capsule that they’re going to create as a result of each capsule in some unspecified time in the future, the physique will reject it. That’s what occurred to opioids, proper? Individuals, once we beat out opioids in a examine in Brazil, they gave, all people began out with the identical quantity of opioids, however the group that used BrainTap didn’t want a rise in any opioids throughout their restoration, the place the group that didn’t constantly needed to have extra, extra, extra. And when it was time to discontinue the opioids, the group that used BrainTap may simply discontinue them. To allow them to use them the way in which they had been naturally prescribed.

The issue is that they’re straightforward to get on and arduous to get off as a result of the mind, the primary motive for that is the mind loves to dump its work. You already know, the mind is 25% of all of the vitality of the physique. So all the pieces, consider 25%, consider it like the federal government. You already know, it’s going to get 25% of all the pieces earlier than anyone else will get something. So all of the vitality of the physique, so it solely weighs 5 kilos, proper? But it surely will get 25% of all the pieces. So if it may cease utilizing the vitality of the physique after which switch that vitality to another a part of the physique, it’s gonna do this. In order that’s why I’m completely in opposition to espresso very first thing within the morning as a result of it trains the mind to dump its duty of making norepinephrine, dopamine, and cortisol to wake you up. After which the mind will get dysregulated proper from the start. That’s why now we have what we name digital espresso.

Within the morning, once we did these research, we skilled the mind to get up. It’s a brainwave referred to as SMR, sensory motor rhythm. That’s why when any individual has a concussion or dementia or Alzheimer’s, they get dizzy or they’ll’t stroll, they don’t have steadiness. And we additionally use a board, Dan Metcalfe, who’s any individual it’s best to in all probability interview as nicely. We use his board, it’s referred to as the 60 Up. For steadiness, it’s unimaginable. He’s getting folks out of wheelchairs. And we use that. We’ve applications with BrainTap so you may prepare your mind to prepare to do that train. And it’s very straightforward to make use of. However we have to get the physique transferring and respiration and considering and get that brainwave again going.

After which, in fact, we have to get them off of the sugars and the detrimental meals which can be inflicting their physique to downregulate. However throughout these research I’m speaking about, we didn’t management their meals in any respect. We all know we’d get higher outcomes. Now, in his ebook, the Saving Your Mind ebook, which is on the market on Amazon, you’ll learn he places in there the weight-reduction plan that he prescribes. He additionally has a bodily train routine. So once I’m speaking in regards to the outcomes we acquired with BrainTap, that was simply with BrainTap. Whenever you add in these different options, you may enhance the mind in lower than six weeks. We took, like I mentioned, each particular person in our examine, which is now in a much bigger examine at Seminole State School, we’re going to publish as soon as we get to 100 folks. However we’re getting the identical statistics, 39% extra neuroplasticity in six weeks. Meaning the mind’s capability to work went up 39% in six weeks. And that’s what’s occurring. It’s like as we age, sadly, the mitochondria, the vitality of the system dowregulates as a result of we’re not doing the suitable issues. Now, that’s not our pure and regular. That’s simply what’s occurring with our way of life. As a result of we’re designed to reside till we die. We’re not designed to slowly die after which give our cash to the hospital on the finish of loss of life. You already know, I might fairly, you realize, like they are saying within the rock and roll information, I’d fairly burn out than fade away. You already know, mainly individuals are fading away.

Katie: That’s such a great level. And to get on somewhat particular into the protocol aspect, I do know I believe there’s a BrainTap sitting behind you for anybody watching on video. What modalities is it utilizing and what’s the affect it’s having on the mind and the way a lot time does it soak up a given day to see these outcomes?

Dr. Porter: Effectively, we consider that two of the instances you wish to use the BrainTap, you don’t need to spend any further time. Simply set your alarm for 10 minutes earlier. As a result of in the event you set an alarm, too, I don’t suggest the blaring alarm. I like to recommend some piece of music that’s stunning that wakes you up and tells you immediately’s a ravishing day to perform one thing. Since you don’t wish to put your nervous system on purple alert.

However in the event you get up 10 minutes early, do considered one of our 10-minute SMR periods. That is digital espresso. It’s going to get up the mind. That is key for mind operate. The morning periods are in all probability an important. As a result of in the event you begin your time off proper, there’s a saying, win the morning, win the day. After which in the midst of the day, or in the event you can’t do this since you’re working, do it as quickly as you get house from work. Two o’clock within the afternoon, our temperature drops 2 levels. That is regular for everyone all over the world. That is when our physique resets. Now, at night time, it will increase temperature 2 levels at 2 o’clock. That’s why in the event you’re a kind of those who wakes up in the midst of the night time throwing off the covers since you’re sizzling, it’s as a result of your mind is dysregulated. We have to get that mind regulated. However within the afternoon, we have to reboot the mind as a result of we’re, our physique is designed to reside within the Serengeti, although in genetically, they’ll’t determine why these our bodies aren’t evolving as a result of they’re saying we evolve, however they’re nonetheless the identical our bodies that had been round 200,000 years in the past. They’re not, they’re no completely different. So we’re designed to take a nap in the midst of the day, however we don’t do this. We do, we go get espresso, tea, chocolate, no matter, maintain going. But when we will do a 20-minute session in the midst of the day and prepare our mind to get into theta.

Now, in the event you’re having dementia, then we suggest gamma through the center of the day. And now we have a complete collection referred to as Mind Health that now we have folks do. And it has to do with cognition and it has phrases in it. Now, phrases are vital as a result of phrases can change as much as 2,300 gene expressions. So we wish to upregulate your gene expression. Now, at night time, we’re going to have you ever take heed to the delta periods, which goes to place you into deep delta. It’s going to assist to detoxify that mind, particularly in the event you’ve been compromised through the day as a result of perhaps you’re doing issues and also you overdid it. Some folks, we are saying this with youngsters, however we don’t understand it’s true for adults, too. They go, they’re too drained to sleep. Most adults are too drained to sleep. So how we do that is by mild, flashing mild. Our eyes have essentially the most mitochondria per sq. centimeter than every other a part of the physique. Our eyes are actually designed, they usually know this now, that we transmit and we obtain mild by our eyes. You’ve in all probability had the expertise the place you’re sitting studying a ebook or watching TV, and also you felt like any individual’s watching you flip round and perhaps it was your husband or considered one of your youngsters taking a look at you. You had been feeling their phototactic alternate. As a result of each cell is broadcasting eight, 10 nanometer mild. And it’s, it’s not simply, I got here into folks began realizing once they mentioned shedding, however we all the time shed. Whenever you’re round any individual, you’re all the time transmitting and receiving their data within the type of vitality. That’s why now we have what we name vitality drainers and vitality gainers. You already know, there are folks that you just’re round that appear to drag your vitality down, and there are folks that appear to drag your vitality up. In fact, we wish to be round gainers, not drainers.

So additionally to get mild into the mind, which is phototactic vitality, what a mitochondria does within the cell, that is only a simplified model. So if now we have some scientists on the road, it’s not the complete model as a result of I’m not going to speak in regards to the Krebs cycle and all that. However what occurs is mild goes into the physique. It’s absorbed by the hemoglobin. So within the ears, all of the blood in your physique goes by your ears each 45 seconds. The remainder of your physique, it does it in 15 seconds. In order that’s how briskly blood pumps by your physique. However within the ears, it slows down sufficient that we will produce a light-weight impact. So we’re going to place blue and purple mild, and we’re going to additionally encode that mild with Nogier frequencies. Dr. Nogier, who was an iridologist, truly mentioned there’s seven frequencies of the physique. After they’re out of tune, the physique will get sick. So what we do is each two minutes, that modifications within the ear lights. So we’re bathing the physique with mild. It’s going by the meridians instantly into the mind first as a result of the ear blood truly heats and cools the mind. So if we wish to get mild into the mind, we do it by the eyes, by the ears.

Now the mind has vitality due to the mitochondria. Let’s say that the mitochondria is beginning to exit as a result of that cell is about to die referred to as apoptosis. The cell with the vitality goes to come back alongside. It’s going to be absorbed there. That cell goes to come back again to life as a result of the mitochondria goes to soak up that phototactic vitality. The Krebs cycle goes to begin up once more. Nitric oxide goes to be launched. Vasodilation, blood stream. Circulation. That is why it helps the mind operate. The extra blood stream and circulation, nitric oxide, it’s a naturally occurring phenomenon. Now you may take nitric oxide too to assist with mind operate, which I do. And Nathan Bryan, who’s a great buddy of mine, has a great product. However we do these items. However mild does it naturally.

And so once we’re doing this, what occurs is the mind begins to control. Now the mind has vitality to coach. Identical to going to the gymnasium, we’d like vitality to go to the gymnasium to construct muscle tissue. We want mild within the mind to coach the mind. That is referred to as brainwave entrainment. Now, we additionally then mirror the identical factor we’re doing with mild. These are earth frequencies. So in the event you and I had been in your spaceship and we’re flying towards earth and we had been to measure the earth’s frequencies, it might be between 0.5 and 100. So these are the frequencies of the earth. These are the frequencies our physique is used to experiencing. So we’re not doing something unnatural. We’re simply mainly, that’s why they name it hacking the mind or biohacking. We just like the time period well being optimization somewhat higher as a result of most individuals don’t just like the phrase hacking. However what we’re doing is we’re imitating nature. After which the physique will get into sync. When it’s in sync, it begins to launch its personal neurochemicals. You begin to get excessive by yourself provide. And while you’re in, every considered one of these brainwave states produces neurotransmitter exercise.

Now, neurotransmitters aren’t made within the mind. They’re instructed from the mind to the intestine. Now, there are three brains, simply so everybody is aware of. So while you’re engaged on dementia and Alzheimer’s and these type of issues, TBIs, it’s not a mind within the head factor. It’s a coronary heart mind. You’ve 40,000 neutrino cells. So we put mild pads on the guts. We’ve a light-weight pad we placed on the intestine. On the identical time, we’re doing BrainTap. So now we’re feeding the physique what it wants most, mild vitality, and the intestine is regulating. There’s extra neuron connections within the intestine than there are within the mind between our ears. So when you concentrate on, and that’s the place all of the neurotransmitters are made. Within the intestine.

So throughout TBI restoration, we suggest that they get off all sugars. They go extra towards a keto type of weight-reduction plan. I’m not saying go at it ceaselessly however go extra towards a keto weight-reduction plan. Possibly even do some intermittent fasting in the event you don’t have blood sugar issues as a result of that autophagy goes to assist to filter out the dangerous cells within the mind.
