The Tenpenny Files – Chronic stress quietly reshapes the brain, altering sleep, focus, and resilience without obvious warning. As digital saturation and emotional strain become routine, recovery fades and fatigue deepens. Dr. Patrick Porter explores measurable states of neurological restoration and explains how awareness and training can rebuild clarity, endurance, and long-term cognitive performance...
Episode Summary In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Patrick Porter, a psychologist, neuroscientist, and pioneer in brain fitness technology, to explore how we can train the brain to perform better, heal faster, and handle stress more effectively. Patrick shared his personal journey — from being labeled a poor learner to earning two PhDs — and how that experience led him to invent portable brain-enhancement technology that's now helping people around the world. We talked about how pain, stress, sleep, and productivity are deeply connected to brain function, and why most people underestimate what their brain is capable of. From chronic pain recovery and opioid reduction to peak performance in tech workers, this conversation dives into the science — and the practical habits — behind unlocking your brain's full potential.

What if the missing piece in your menopause journey isn't hormones, but your nervous system? I'm Dr. Betty Murray, and in this episode, I sit down with Dr. Patrick Porter, founder and inventor of of BrainTap technology, a revolutionary light, sound, and vibration system that uses brain wave entrainment to flip the switch on sympathetic syndrome (chronic fight-or-flight), restore sleep, build stress resilience, and rewire neural pathways in just 20-30 minutes a day. Dr. Porter has been pioneering neuroplasticity technology since 1986, starting with the first personal light and sound machine for pain clinics. You'll Discover: ● Why our ancient brains weren't designed for modern life ● Why modern brains operate on only one gear (stress, frustration, anxiety) when we need multiple gears like a car, and how BrainTap uses light (810-850 nanometer), sound (beat frequencies), and vibration to regulate five primary brain wave networks (alpha, beta, theta, delta, gamma) like switching Wi-Fi networks ● The four T's destroying biological systems: Thoughts, Traumas, Toxins, and Technology (the new fourth T) ● How brain voltage drops from 18.1 volts at birth to 10.1 volts by age 16-17, creating resistance where life becomes an energy equation that starts in brain, moves down spine, out to limbs ● Why neural pruning accelerates in menopause due to estrogen loss affecting mitochondria and the cannabinoid system. ● Why affirmations fail: brain doesn't respond to false statements of fact ● Why drinking coffee first thing in morning is worst thing for biological system} ● The three critical BrainTap times: morning, afternoon, sleep preparation This episode is for women struggling with sleep, chronic stress, brain fog, or feeling stuck in fight-or-flight mode despite doing "all the right things" with diet and hormones. If you want to understand how 20-30 minutes a day of brain wave entrainment can rewire neural pathways and restore nervous system balance, this conversation will change how you think about healing.

Rewiring the Brain for Thyroid Recovery with Dr. Patrick Porter What if you could train your brain to help your thyroid recover? In this episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage sits down with Dr. Patrick Porter, creator of BrainTap®, to explore how brainwave training, stress regulation, and nervous-system balance can unlock your body's natural healing potential. In this conversation: How chronic stress keeps the brain stuck in "danger mode" and blocks thyroid recovery Why the amygdala, HPA axis, and thyroid are part of one continuous feedback loop The role of neuroplasticity and brainwave entrainment in calming the body's stress response Practical tools to shift from survival to safety mode—naturally How BrainTap supports sleep, energy, focus, and overall metabolic balance
This episode is brought to you by Fatty15, WHOOP and Timeline. Dr. Patrick Porter, PhD joins us today to break down what brain fitness really means and why modern life is overwhelming a biological system that was never designed for today's pace. Dr. Porter explains how brain energy, neuroplasticity, breathwork, mitochondria, sleep architecture, stress physiology, light exposure, and daily rituals all influence our ability to think clearly, recover deeply, and perform at a high level. We explore the science behind neurogenesis, the glymphatic system, alpha and delta brainwave states, the impact of sugar and artificial sweeteners on cognitive decline, how breathing and light frequencies regulate the nervous system, and why most people are unknowingly compromising their sleep, metabolism, and cognitive output. Packed with actionable tools—from box breathing and SMR training to healthier morning routines, supplements, and digital hygiene—this episode is a masterclass on how to build a sharper brain and age better.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in chronic stress, this conversation is a MUST listen. Dr. Porter breaks down complex brain science into simple, actionable steps that anyone can use—starting today. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Your Brain Is More Powerful Than You Realize How every cell in your body is constantly "listening" to your environment—thoughts, foods, people, light, sound, and stress—and mirroring it back through your biology. Why your DNA is continually updating based on how you perceive life: as a threat or as a challenge. 2. Why Stress Isn't Just a "Mindset" Problem The link between chronic stress and disrupted neurotransmitters, sleep cycles, gut health, and blood sugar. Why Dr. Porter says we don't have a mental health crisis—we have a physiological crisis. 3. Brainwaves 101: Understanding Your Inner Operating System Dr. Porter breaks down: Beta – reactionary, can be tied to fear, frustration, anxiety. Alpha – daydreaming, creativity, presence, flow. Theta – deep relaxation, super-learning, memory integration. Delta – deep sleep and brain detox. Gamma – the "bass drum" that helps keep the whole brain orchestra in sync. You'll hear how modern life pushes many people out of balance—and what that looks like in everyday symptoms (brain fog, burnout, poor focus, anxiety). 4. The Science Behind BrainTap® You'll learn how BrainTap uses light, sound, and vibration to: Support brainwave balance Increase ATP (cellular energy) Improve sleep architecture and deep delta sleep Regulate the nervous system Support gut-brain communication and overall resilience Dr. Porter also dives into: Red light therapy and mitochondrial energy Circadian rhythms and why timing of sleep matters Why a 2 PM "reboot" can increase productivity by 26% 5. A Daily BrainCare Routine You Can Start Now Dr. Porter outlines a simple structure you can plug into your day: Morning: a short "digital coffee" BrainTap session to energize the brain without relying on caffeine. Midday (around 2 PM): a 20-minute reboot session to reset your nervous system and restore focus. Evening: a session that guides your brain into delta for deeper, more restorative sleep. Plus, a simple 4–8 breathing practice before bed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system.
