In this episode, Dr. Patrick Porter, Ashok Gupta, and Jack Savage explore with Tara how brain retraining, better sleep, targeted tech like BrainTap, and gentler stimulants with ingredients such as L‑theanine and medicinal mushrooms can calm an overstimulated nervous system and improve focus.
Dr. Patrick K. Porter, PhD, is an award-winning author/speaker and the founder of BrainTap®, the leader in technology-enhanced meditation. Dr. Porter pioneered the use of brainwave entrainment to improve clarity, sleep & energy, and remains at the forefront of scientific research. He founded BrainTap with the goal of making this technology accessible to everyone. BrainTap offers over 1800 original audio sessions in 12 languages and serves a worldwide user base with its mobile app and headset.
Ashok Gupta is the mind behind The Gupta Program and a leading expert in the field of neuroimmune conditioned syndromes (NICS). Ashok is an internationally renowned Speaker, Filmmaker & Health Practitioner who has dedicated his life to supporting people through chronic illness, and achieving their potential.
As someone who's always had trouble focusing, Jack Savage was prescribed stimulants at the age of 5 until high blood pressure gave cause for serious concern. He quit cold turkey and started drinking lots of coffee. After 1-2 hours of ineffective energy, he'd crash or if he drank too much, he'd feel jittery and anxious. That's when he started researching biohacking, nutrition and functional mushrooms. Jack found that basically all mushrooms are magical, especially when combined with nootropics. This led him to the ingredients in Everyday Dose, which have allowed him to regain control of his life for the first time.
