Brain Inflammation: Why Your Gut May Be Causing Brain Fog with Martha Carlin

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 20:45:32 +0000

Brain inflammation doesn’t always start in the brain.

Today, I sit down with microbiome researcher Martha Carlin to explore how the gut may be driving inflammation, brain fog, and long-term neurological stress.

Martha Carlin is a microbiome researcher and entrepreneur whose work was inspired by her husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2002. After teaching herself the science behind gut health, she founded The BioCollective and BiotiQuest to advance research on the gut–brain connection and chronic disease. A recipient of a $1.2 million NIH grant and named a Colorado Titan 100 CEO, Martha is a respected voice in microbiome science and advocates for a systems-based approach to health.

In this episode we discuss:

How gut bacteria influence dopamine, serotonin, and mood
What endotoxin (LPS) is and why it fuels systemic inflammation
Why antibiotics and environmental exposures can weaken microbiome resilience
The connection between chronic constipation and neurological health
How gut imbalance may contribute to brain fog and reduced cognitive performance

If you’re focused on optimizing brain performance, improving mental clarity, or protecting long-term neurological health, understanding the gut–brain connection is essential.

Replace Coffee Breaks With Brain Breaks: Here's Why | Workplace Wellness with Reverend Jodi Suson

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 13:00:16 +0000

Ever feel like your workplace is draining your focus, mood, and energy?

Dr. Patrick Porter sits down with Reverend Jodi to explore a practical, education-first approach to workplace wellness: starting with brain breaks, healthier environments, and simple daily resets that support performance and resilience.

Rev. Jodi Suson is an ordained minister and brain health–focused wellness educator who transitioned from a 35-year career in marketing and finance into holistic health after years of misdiagnosis and disability led her to study how food, water, and environment affect brain and emotional wellbeing. She is the author of Emotional Healing, Toxic Free Living, and now teaches mindset and lifestyle-based approaches to support brain, emotional, spiritual, and physical balance, drawing on her training in NLP, nutrition, essential oils, and frequency-based modalities.

In this show, Dr. Porter and Rev. Suson discuss how “brain breaks” can replace the mid-afternoon coffee run, why workplace culture and environment matter (air, water, stress patterns), and how wellness rooms can encourage employees to take 20 minutes to decompress and recharge, without making medical promises.

Question for you: If your workplace had a wellness room, would you use it? Drop a comment with what you’d want included.

The Missing Step in Concussion Recovery: Nervous System Testing with Dr. Ted Arkfeld

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 13:00:55 +0000

What if “feeling fine” isn’t the same as being truly ready to return to sport, or even school, after a concussion?

I sit down with Dr. Ted Arkfeld to discuss how objective nervous system measurements may add clarity to performance, recovery, and readiness.

Ted A. Arkfeld, DC, MS, is a chiropractor, clinical researcher, and educator focused on the role of the nervous system in human performance, injury risk, and recovery. He is the developer of the Neuro Sport Performance Evaluation (NSPE), a model that integrates objective neurological metrics—including BrainTap’s NeuralChek—with functional movement and sensorimotor assessment. With over 35 years of clinical experience, Dr. Arkfeld collaborates with technology partners and clinicians to advance evidence-informed approaches to sports performance, concussion management, and neurological rehabilitation, while educating doctors of chiropractic on translating neuroscience into practical, measurable outcomes.

In this episode, we explore how tools like NeuralChek, which Dr. Arkfeld actively uses as part of his evaluation protocol, can support a more complete view of movement, balance, and autonomic regulation, especially when athletes (or patients) may underreport symptoms.

The conversation also touches on how BrainTap is incorporated as part of his recovery approach, supporting relaxation, sleep, and nervous system regulation alongside active care.

Please, comment and share your thoughts: Should baseline nervous system screening be a standard part of sports, recovery, and aging well?

Gut-Brain Connection: Fermented Foods + Cellular Energy with Jim Ladwig

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 19:36:35 +0000

What if the “energy problem” isn’t willpower—but cellular?

In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I sit down with Jim Ladwig, the man behind Haelan 951, a nitrogen-fermented soybean product used by wellness clinics and individuals to support gut health, brain function, and overall energy.

During his own battle with cancer, Jim was introduced to Haelan 951. After experiencing powerful results, he developed a passion for natural, body-supportive approaches to healing. He is now a certified health coach and a driving force behind Haelan’s mission to help individuals and families reclaim their health.

You can’t think your way out of a gut problem. The gut plays a key role in neurotransmitter balance, inflammation signaling, and how the brain processes information. When digestion is off, mood, sleep, and mental clarity often follow.

In this episode, we explore nitrogen-fermented soy (Haelan 951), fermentation and bioavailability, the gut-brain connection, microbiome support, and wellness strategies for supporting cellular energy and inflammation balance.

Trauma, Rituals & Resilience: Body-Based Tools with Alisa Gracheva

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 16:45:22 +0000

Ever feel like you’re moving from one “fire” to the next?

Today, I’m joined by trauma specialist Alisa Gracheva.

Alisa strongly believes in integrating spirituality with mental health to help individuals experience deeper fulfillment and inner peace. She has extensive experience working with people in crisis, those facing a wide range of mental health challenges, and individuals navigating substance use.

Her background includes years of work with integrative and alternative healing modalities such as sacred plant medicine and integration, sound healing, light therapy, energy work, and spiritual guidance. Her areas of specialization include general mental health, trauma, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, grief and loss, life transitions, personal growth, existential crisis, and spiritual guidance.

In this episode, we explore trauma, chronic stress, and what truly helps when the nervous system is stuck in survival mode. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is how practical Alisa’s approach is. She explains that in moments of crisis, the mind isn’t searching for philosophy—it’s searching for safety. That’s why we start with the body.

We discuss somatic grounding, where stress commonly shows up (hello, neck and shoulders), and simple reset tools you can try immediately—even if you only have five minutes. We also cover nervous system regulation, breathwork, daily rituals, gratitude, sound healing, music and brainwave audio, light-based tools, and how neuroplasticity supports real, lasting change over time.

So let me ask you this: when you feel overwhelmed, what helps bring you back—breath, movement, nature, music, prayer?

Drop us a comment. You might help someone else more than you realize.

Healing Chronic Illness Through Lifestyle Medicine - Dr. Patrick Porter & Dr. Mamta Bhatt

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 21:32:19 +0000

When the body begins to break down, the spirit often whispers for change.

In today's episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, Dr. Patrick Porter sits down with Dr. Mamta Bhatt — Harvard-trained scientist, bestselling author, and holistic wellness expert — for a conversation that reshapes the way we think about healing.

Dr. Mamta Bhatt is a former Fortune 50 executive and scientist whose life was transformed by a two-decade struggle with chronic fatigue and hormonal imbalance. After traditional medicine offered no lasting relief, she turned to an integrative path — blending lifestyle medicine, functional nutrition, mindfulness and deep spiritual practice. Her healing sparked a new purpose: helping others reverse chronic conditions by aligning body, mind, and spirit. With a PhD in Macromolecular Science, executive training from Wharton and Harvard Medical School, and a lived experience that bridges the scientific and the sacred, Dr. Bhatt guides people toward sustainable, joyful, radiant health.

Dr. Bhatt shares her remarkable journey from high achievement and burnout to a sunrise awakening that transformed her health from the inside out. Together, they explore how food, brain chemistry, and the mind-body connection create a “second chance” at vitality, and why healing chronic illness often begins long before symptoms show up on a lab report.

This episode bridges neuroscience, lifestyle medicine, and ancient spiritual wisdom — revealing how small daily shifts in nourishment, movement, and mindset can unlock profound energy, emotional balance, and long-term health.

If healthy, joyful living feels out of reach, this conversation shows what’s possible when science and spirituality finally meet.

Concussion Recovery for Student Athletes: BrainTap, SMR Training with Francisco Cidral, ND, PhD

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 19:19:44 +0000

If a student athlete has lingering symptoms after a concussion—brain fog, light/noise sensitivity, balance issues, trouble focusing—there are non-invasive ways to support recovery.

Today's guest, Dr. Francisco Cidral, is an entrepreneur, professor, and researcher. He holds an ND, a master’s and PhD in Neuroscience, and a post-doctorate in Health Sciences. He specializes in integrative therapies and the neurobiology of pain and inflammation. Dr. Cidral currently serves as Science Officer at BrainTap and as CEO of the Integrative Health School in Orlando, Florida.

In this episode, Dr. Patrick Porter and Dr. Cidral walk through a real-world high school program where BrainTap brainwave entrainment (SMR morning sessions, midday stress relief, and deep-sleep delta sessions) was combined with compression boots and chiropractic care.

What stood out: at one-year follow-up, the group that used BrainTap + compression showed meaningful reductions in post-concussion symptoms vs. chiropractic care alone—e.g., fewer headaches, less neck pain, reduced anxiety, better balance, and less brain fog.

We also cover why SMR matters for cognition, how light and sound help entrain brain states, and the role of auricular vagus stimulation in downshifting stress. For athletic programs, clinics, and trainers, the protocol is easy to implement (in-office or at-home with the BrainTap system) and designed to complement—not replace—your current care plan.

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:58:59 +0000

Peak performance at work isn’t just hustle: it’s brain fitness.

Today I’m joined by Ruchika Sikri—former Head of Well-Being Learning at Google, to unpack how companies (and individuals) can build sustainable focus, emotional resilience, and creativity.

Ruchika Sikri is the Co-author of The Brain Fitness Blueprint, General Partner at Wisdom Ventures Fund, and Co-founder & CEO of Ready Platform. With over 25 years of leadership experience at Google, Microsoft, and Cisco—including eight years leading Google’s global Well-Being and Mindfulness Learning Programs—she has helped over 120,000 employees cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and sustainable high performance. Today, she focuses on advancing tech-enabled well-being and compassionate innovation to create a more mindful, connected world.

In this episode, we cover Google’s internal well-being programs (Search Inside Yourself), what happened when we introduced brain breaks and BrainTap at Google, and how our Circle of Vitality framework (sleep, nutrition, movement, emotional & mental health, relationships, environment, purpose, and work) keeps your “performance wheel” from going flat. We also talk about AI’s impact on human work, why segmenting beats multitasking, and how to implement a 30-day plan for better brain health.

How Early Cancer Detection Reduces Anxiety and Brings Peace of Mind - Sumit Rai

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 18:13:55 +0000

In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I sit down with Sumit Rai, CEO of Cancer Check Labs, to discuss how early cancer detection is reshaping the emotional experience of health.

Mr. Rai is the founder and CEO of Cancer Check Labs, where his innovative approach to circulating tumor cell (CTC) capture is transforming cancer technology. Driven by the loss of his younger sister to cancer, Mr. Rai is dedicated to the fight against the disease.

Since 2012, he has served as President of Cure Sonia, which funds cancer research at top centers like Stanford, USC, and MD Anderson, and provides financial assistance to families in need. He also recently launched Save A Firefighter, offering early cancer detection for firefighters who face triple the cancer risk due to their occupation. In 2022, Mr. Rai was nominated for the National Board of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Before his work in cancer research, Mr. Rai spent 20 years in venture capital, private equity, and hedge funds, as well as founding a mobile ad exchange with a notable exit.

Even the healthiest people feel fear when they hear the word cancer. But what if awareness and early testing could change that? Sumit shares how new advances in early cancer screening technology are giving people the gift of clarity, helping replace fear with confidence and peace of mind.

We explore why cancer-related anxiety is real, how early cancer detection empowers informed decision-making, and the emotional shift from reactive care to proactive prevention. This conversation blends science and compassion to remind us that knowledge isn’t just power: it’s freedom from fear.

How to Calm a Stressed Nervous System with Brain Fitness - Allie Chandler

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 17:35:27 +0000

“When your nervous system is stuck in overdrive, even walking to the mailbox can feel impossible.”

Today I sit down with Allie Chandler to talk about how she rebuilt her routine after years of neurological and fatigue symptoms—and why a simple, repeatable brain fitness practice became her turning point.

Allie is a marketing strategist specializing in functional medicine practices. With over a decade of experience and a Master’s degree in Writing from California College of the Arts, she’s led marketing and branding initiatives for companies such as Microbe Formulas, CellCore Biosciences, and Microbiome Labs. After overcoming chronic Lyme disease and other health challenges, Allie founded Upsell Health, where she helps functional medicine practitioners grow their practices through authentic, strategy-driven marketing.

In this episode, we discuss calming the nervous system, supporting theta brainwave states, and creating morning/evening rhythms that make high performance sustainable (not exhausting).

What you’ll learn:

-Why downshifting the fight-or-flight response is step one for clarity and focus

-How light + sound brainwave sessions fit into a daily routine (morning & night)

-The difference between “forcing” neurofeedback vs. gently guiding your brain state

-Practical ways to protect your energy at work and wind down before bed

Who this helps: high performers, caregivers, and anyone feeling wired-and-tired who wants practical steps to regain focus, emotional regulation, and productivity.

If it resonates, share it with someone who needs a calmer start and a better night routine. What’s one small change you can make to your morning or evening routine this week?

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 12:00:48 +0000

Can your everyday cooking oils actually harm your brain?

Most oils on the supermarket shelf are damaged by processing, light, heat, and even plastic packaging.

Udo Erasmus, the pioneer of brain-healthy oils, explains why omega-3s are essential for focus, memory, and emotional balance, and how eating the right oils can reverse deficiencies and protect your brain.

Udo Erasmus's pioneering work in health and wellness started over 40 years ago. As a prominent voice of the Healthy Fats/Oils movement, Udo raised manufacturing standards of food oils, including flax oil. In 1994, he co-founded the Udo's Choice supplement brand, a global leader in cutting-edge health products specializing in healthy oils, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and greens.

Featured in over 100 publications, he is dedicated to breaking the stigma of addiction and helping people access the support they need.

MJ has created an incredible community centered on sobriety and healing. Together, we explored how strengthening brain health plays a vital role in sustaining recovery. Key takeaways:

True recovery thrives on connection. Building authentic relationships can make all the difference.
The brain’s ability to change and adapt, or neuroplasticity, is key to rewiring for lasting sobriety and emotional strength.
Progress happens “one day at a time,” focusing on small, consistent habits that build over time.
Tools like BrainTap offer powerful support for mental wellness, helping enhance brain function and support recovery.

How BrainTap Supported My Brain Health After TBI - Rory Ross' Story

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 10:00:02 +0000

Six years ago, Rory Ross fell 30 feet and was given a grim prognosis—89% chance of dying, 7% chance of being a vegetable, and 4% chance of somewhat living.

Refusing to accept this, Rory tapped into the power of his subconscious mind, believing that his brain injury was a reorganization of his brain cells to make him stronger. With determination, he returned to the gym, explored ice plunges, and saunas, and eventually discovered BrainTap, which helped him unlock his mind's potential. Today, Rory is passionate about helping others heal their bodies through the power of their minds.

In this episode, Rory Ross shares how BrainTap supported his recovery from traumatic brain injury (TBI) by boosting neuroplasticity and supporting brain healing. I truly believe the power of belief is central to recovery. Our thoughts shape our reality, and our minds can either help us heal or hold us back. As Rory discovered, shifting your mindset is key to recovery.

Learn how positive thoughts, brainwave entrainment, and BrainTap can transform your brain fitness and recovery journey.

Breathe Better, Burn More Fat - The PNOĒ and BrainTap Connection!

Thu, 10 Oct 2024 12:00:00 +0000

Can our brains help us burn more fat?

In this episode, I’m joined by Apostolos Atsalakis, co-founder of PNOĒ to explore how breath analysis can provide deeper insights into our body’s metabolic processes.

Apostolos was born and raised in Greece. From an early age, he was intrigued by how technology could improve lives. With a natural inclination toward subjects like math and physics, he pursued his passion by studying Nanotechnology at the University of Cambridge, eager to explore the technical applications of his academic knowledge. The idea for PNOĒ emerged during a conference he attended called “The Next Big Thing,” where someone mentioned the field of breath analysis. Instantly captivated by the potential of this field, he began conducting deep research. Today, PNOĒ has grown into a global company and leader in breath analysis, yet he believes they are only at the beginning, with much more to learn and achieve.

Today we discuss the results of our recent study combining BrainTap with PNOĒ’s technology, which showed a fascinating shift in fuel utilization—helping the body burn more fat after a BrainTap session.

Sunlighten Saunas & The Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy with Kendra Gensemer

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 01:30:00 +0000

I believe everyone needs to be in a sauna! Let me tell you why…

In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, we have a special guest joining us, Kendra Gensemer with Sunlighten Saunas, @SunlightenSaunas. Sunlighten is renowned as one of the best infrared sauna companies, with a focus on providing exceptional health benefits through their patented SoloCarbon® infrared saunas. This is a company with a passion for research and they share it with their community.

Sunlighten's story began when Connie and Aaron Zack witnessed the transformation of her brother's life through the use of infrared light therapy. After suffering from debilitating illnesses, such as chronic fatigue, mercury poisoning, and spinal injury, he found relief through infrared light therapy recommended by a dentist. This therapy not only improved his health but also allowed him to pursue his passions once again. Inspired by this experience, he founded Sunlighten Saunas to share the healing power of infrared light with others.

Kavita Desai, Pharm. D. is an accomplished pharmacist and the founder of the women’s health company, Revivele, which is dedicated to educating women about disease prevention and cognitive health as well as providing tangible solutions and resources. She is also the author of the new book, Lady Parts: Putting Women's Health Back Into Women's Hands.

Originally from Ontario, Canada, Dr. Desai earned her Doctorate in Pharmacy from Ohio Northern University in 2001, after which she went on to pursue a career spanning hospital and community-based pharmacy settings — ultimately launching her private integrated clinical pharmacy and medical center in 2006 with a focus on preventative medicine. After 13 years in practice, she was faced with the unimaginable when her mother was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

After witnessing the decline of her mother’s health, Dr. Desai redirected her clinical skills to focus more specifically on brain health, menopause, disease prevention and how chronic illnesses affect women specifically and was disturbed by the lack of expertise or understanding in the medical community when it comes to women’s long-term health. She created Revivele to fill that void with compassionate, factual information to help women improve their overall health outcomes and better advocate for their needs. Women face challenges that men don’t – which is why Revivele provides female-led, research-focused health information to help women live their best, healthiest lives in the present and future.
