Eventually, he began to visualize his grades.  Where you feed energy will expand.  [09:00] How Going Out In Nature and Enjoying The Sun Will Benefit Your Health  Our brain loves patterns.  If you’re used to watching the news every night, the subconscious will incorporate it into your dreams.  Our body needs the earth. Dr. Porter recommends checking out Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!: https://www.amazon.com/Earthing-Most-Important-Health-Discovery/dp/1591202833/benazadi-20. All of our cells get power from the sun. There are more mitochondria in your eyes than in other places in the body.  Your body will interact with the garden, trees, grass, and the Earth.  Nature will work in making your brain well, not the news.  [21:30] Cortisol and Adrenaline Hijack the Brain; Plus, Stress Shrinks The Brain  We're either in our thriving brain, or we're in our surviving brain. There is no middle ground.  If you have a hard time with PTSD, you will be in survival mode all the time.  Our brains don’t know how to flip the switch. We need ways to recover; you can’t just keep going and going.  One stressful year shrinks the brain three-quarters of an inch.  Our subconscious controls 95% of our biology.  [29:10] About BrainTap: The Mobile App and Wearable Headset Build Your Brain Fitness  15 day free trial with BrainTap: https://braintap.com/15-day-gift/#a_aid=2204BEAZ&a;_bid=1e303721   With BrainTap, you start to turn on neurotransmitters' production, which happens in the gut.  During a BrainTap, you're bathing in this biological soup in the proper physiological state. Everything that happens to you happens through you.  Light brings energy to the brain.  Our ears take 25,000 pieces of information every second, and your eyes are actually 30% of your hearing.  The retinal flashing will keep your brain awake during BrainTap.  [35:35] To Build Neuroplasticity, You Need To Challenge The Brain  BrainTap will stress the brain, but it’s fun stress.  When listening to one voice, you can still listen to your internal dialogue. The brain only processes first attention. If your first attention is on your internal dialogue, it doesn’t matter what someone else says.  With BrainTap, there will be a voice in the right ear. Then, they do the same thing with the left ear. After three minutes, your brain will synchronize.  In order to build that neuroplasticity, you need to challenge the brain.  [41:30] How BrainTap Will Help You Overcome Psychological Fears   An allergy is a phobic response to the immune system. During fear, we are overproducing white marker cells. Psychological fear is creating physiological destruction to our bodies. Your psychology affects your immune system, and your biggest brain is in your gut.  BrainTap will get your gut, heart, and brain to communicate.  Overall, BrainTap will provide your mind and body with all the benefits of meditation without the disciplined effort. [47:35] Improving Your HRV and Getting Better Sleep With BrainTap  When you use BrainTap, you are going to see your HRV skyrocket.  If you're always in sympathetic drive, you will never have a good heart rate variability.  Getting good sleep is all about unwinding the sensory perception.  If you are struggling with sleep, getting more parasympathetic will be essential.  Two biohacks are free: sleeping and drinking good water.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Patrick Porter’s Website: https://drpatrickporter.com Follow Dr. Patrick Porter Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrPatrickPorter/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/PatrickPorter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drpatrickporter/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drpatrickporter Awaken the Genius: Mind Technology for the 21st Century: https://www.amazon.com/Awaken-Genius-Mind-Technology-Century/dp/0963761188/benazadi-20 Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!: https://www.amazon.com/Earthing-Most-Important-Health-Discovery/dp/1591202833/benazadi-20 15 day free trial with BrainTap: https://braintap.com/15-day-gift/#a_aid=2204BEAZ&a;_bid=1e303721 Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.
