Qigong for beginners doesn’t have to be complicated. In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I talk with Terry J. Hodgkinson, a meditation and mindful movement educator, martial artist, and creator of the Seven Harmonies Qigong System, about seven simple Qigong movements designed to reconnect the mind, body, breath, and nervous system. If you spend most of your day sitting, looking at screens, feeling stressed, or simply disconnected from your body, this conversation is worth watching. Terry explains why Qigong is often described as a moving meditation, why you don’t have to be athletic or flexible to get started, and how simple movement, breathwork, and awareness can become part of a daily mindfulness practice. Terry brings more than four decades of experience in meditation, martial arts, Qigong, hypnosis, and the study of human awareness and behavior. He is also a hypnotherapist and founder of the Chung Fu Martial Arts System. His work is centered around a simple question: How can mindfulness become something we actually live rather than something we practice for only a few minutes each day? That philosophy led to Mindfulness for Life, his structured 21-Day Experience combining guided meditation, practical mindfulness teachings, personal reflection, and mindful movement. Through his Seven Harmonies Qigong System, Terry explores the relationship between movement, breath, awareness, and internal practice. His central philosophy is simple: awareness comes before meaningful change.

Do you ever make one mistake during a game and feel like it affects everything that comes after? In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I talk with Dr. Tom Lankering, a brain-based, bio-energetic chiropractor and expert in brain-body performance, about how athletes can use breathing, visualization, mental rehearsal, and flow-state training to reset faster, stay focused, and stop carrying the last mistake into the next play. We explore the mental side of athletic performance and how these techniques can apply to pickleball, skiing, and other sports. We also discuss BrainTap Sports and Pickleball Flow Mastery, which use guided visualization, relaxation, and mental rehearsal to help athletes develop greater focus, confidence, and flow. Dr. Tom Lankering has practiced chiropractic care in Aspen, Colorado, since 1984. He is the founder of Lankering Chiropractic and Future of Your Health, home of the Regain Your Zest for Life program, and co-author of Wake Up the Happy Brain with Dr. Bruce Lipton and Dr. Joe Dispenza.

Tired but still can’t sleep? In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I talk with sleep specialist Dr. Shane Creado about why feeling exhausted doesn’t always mean your brain is actually ready for sleep—and what to do when you feel wired, tired, and unable to shut down at night. If you wake up tired, rely on caffeine to get through the day, struggle to quiet your mind at night, or feel like you’re sleeping without actually recovering, this conversation will help you better understand what may be happening and how sleep impacts your brain, recovery, and performance. Shane Creado, MD, is a double board-certified Sleep Medicine physician and Sports Psychiatrist specializing in sleep, performance, recovery, and brain health. He is the founder of Spyndl Sleep, author of the Amazon #1 bestseller Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes, and has worked with organizations including the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee, NBA Players Association, PGA Tour Europe, and the Australian Football League. He also serves as a sleep consultant for Dr. Daniel Amen at Amen Clinics. Sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s one of the most productive things you can do for your brain, your recovery, and your performance.

Stress isn't what's killing us—it’s the lack of recovery. In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I sit down with Paul Edge, a pioneer in frequency-based music, eco-psychology, and subconscious transformation, to explore Solfeggio frequencies, HRV, nervous system regulation, and the story behind his Sophia Frequencies—the music behind some of the most compelling recovery data we've seen, including a reported 39–60% reduction in stress measured before and after listening with HRV. If your mind won't quiet down, sleep doesn't come easy, or your nervous system feels stuck in "on" mode, this conversation is for you. Paul explains why he believes the Sophia Frequencies work differently from typical relaxation music and how sound, vibration, and unconscious patterns may influence recovery and well-being. Since 2003, Paul has studied the connection between sound, vibration, psychology, and human potential. A devoted student of Milton Erickson, he has spent more than 20,000 hours studying Ericksonian hypnosis and advanced therapeutic techniques. His work includes a proprietary psychological evaluation system and the Sophia Frequencies, a frequency-based music experience now available through BrainTap. Paul also shares the news BrainTap listeners have been waiting for: the high-resolution version of the Sophia Frequencies is now available directly in the BrainTap app. Try the BrainTap Sophia Frequencies with a 14-day free trial: https://braintap.com/ Connect with Dr. Patrick Porter: https://drpatrickporter.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drpatrickporter/ https://www.facebook.com/DrPatrickPorter/ https://www.youtube.com/c/drpatrickporter Other helpful links & information: http://www.braintap.pro/ *Our content is for informational purposes only and should not be treated as medical or health advice.

Could the oils in your kitchen be affecting your brain and overall health? Seed oils are found in restaurant foods, packaged snacks, salad dressings, sauces, and many products marketed as “healthy.” In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I sit down with Cherie Calbom, MS, known worldwide as “The Juice Lady,” to explore seed oils, inflammation, brain health, healthy fats, smoke points, and what oils you may want to use instead. Cherie explains why the oils you cook with matter, how to identify hidden seed oils when shopping or eating out, and why healthy fats are an important part of the conversation around cognitive health, healthy aging, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and long-term brain health. Cherie Calbom, M.S., is a trailblazer in whole-food nutrition and the juicing revolution. With a master’s degree in nutrition, she has authored 36 books that have collectively sold more than 3.5 million copies. Her global bestseller, Juicing for Life, has helped more than 2 million readers pursue better health through nutrition. Her latest book, The Truth About Seed Oils, examines the controversy surrounding seed oils and makes the case for returning to traditional sources of dietary fat. From serving as George Foreman’s nutritionist to advising the Royal Family of the UAE, Cherie’s influence spans continents and cultures. She has been featured on Fox News, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, CBN, TBN, and It’s Supernatural, inspiring millions with her message that health is a lifestyle.

Multitasking and brain overload can affect more than focus—they may show up as brain fog, dizziness, eye strain, posture changes, fatigue, and dysautonomia-like symptoms. In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tommy Pang to explore why seemingly disconnected symptoms may actually be signs that your brain is running too many programs at once. Dr. Pang is a double board-certified functional neurology practitioner (DACNB, FACFN) based in Hong Kong and the founder of Brain Fog Mastery Lab, where he helps adults uncover the underlying causes of brain fog, poor focus, balance issues, and other unexplained symptoms often dismissed as stress or normal aging. Through a functional neurology lens, Dr. Pang explains what your posture may reveal about your nervous system, how brain overload can contribute to cognitive and physical symptoms, and why understanding how the brain processes information may change the way we approach brain fog, dizziness, and fatigue. As Project Director for a nonprofit organization working with children experiencing brain developmental delays, Dr. Pang also sees the other end of the spectrum: brains that are still developing alongside adult brains experiencing decline. This dual perspective shapes his belief that brain health exists on a continuum—and that understanding how the brain develops is just as important as understanding how to protect it later in life. Today, Dr. Pang shares his message with a community of more than 880,000 followers across social media, helping people become proactive about their brain health before small problems become bigger ones. Coming soon: Dr. Pang is preparing the Brain Fog Mastery Lab community.

Are personality tests really accurate—or do they miss what stress reveals about you? In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I sit down with Mike Duffy, founder of VennX, to explore personality assessments, stress patterns, HRV, AI, emotional behavior, and the future of self-awareness. Mike explains why traditional personality tests may only provide a snapshot of who we are, while real human behavior can change over time—especially under stress, in relationships, on teams, and when making important decisions. Mike Duffy is the founder of VennX, the human waveform company. A former Army paratrooper and Signal Corps officer, three-time chief of staff, and pharmaceutical data executive, Mike spent his career building high-performance systems before applying that same lens to human transformation. Drawing from his own recovery and 10-year transformation journey, Mike created VennX to explore how psychological shifts connect with physiological outcomes over time. VennX calls this Psychosomatic Intelligence—using real human data to better understand the relationship between insight, action, HRV, emotional resolution, and lasting behavior change. Mike also serves as CLO of GoBundance and is bringing VennX’s waveform technology to entrepreneurs, high performers, and clinical partners like BrainTap. Curious what your patterns may reveal?

What is EMF pollution, and how do dirty electricity, Wi-Fi exposure, and electromagnetic noise affect the spaces where we live and work? In this episode, I sit down with Joaquin Machado to talk about EMF exposure: something most people never stop to think about. Joaquín Machado is an EMR researcher, inventor, and CTO and co-founder of NOXTAK, with over 20 years dedicated to understanding how artificial electromagnetic fields affect biological systems and what can be done to restore coherence. He holds 14 international patents in nanotechnology and materials science and is the creator of SPIRO® Technology a unique nanomagnetic filtering approach that doesn't block electromagnetic fields but reorganizes their spin polarization at the quantum level, allowing devices to function normally while reducing the biological impact of artificial EMFs. Joaquin shares what first put this on his radar, and I get into what we found when we tested it inside our own lab at BrainTap (let's just say it was a wake-up call). We dig into dirty electricity, Wi-Fi, and all the invisible noise running through the spaces we spend our days in.
