Rise Up For You · 2026-02-26 · 20 min
In this episode of the Rise Up For You Podcast, CEO Nada Lena Nasserdeen sits down with Dr. Patrick Porter, neuroscientist, performance expert, and founder of BrainTap. Dr. Porter shares his story of growing up in a challenging environment and how early experiences with meditation, brain training, and neuroscience set him on a path to transform his life and help others optimize human performance. Nada and Dr. Porter dive into the brain science behind behavior, clarity, and cognitive performance. They explore how diet, movement, sleep, stress, technology, and thought patterns shape our brain function and explain why most people operate in a “fuzzy” state instead of peak performance. You will hear practical strategies for rebooting your brain each day, improving deep sleep, and balancing your nervous system for better decision making, focus, and resilience. Dr. Porter also breaks down how light, sound, and vibration can entrain brain frequencies to reduce stress, enhance recovery, and elevate performance. He shares simple tools that leaders and high performers can implement immediately to think clearer, feel sharper, and perform at a higher level in work and life.
