What if three tiny resets could transform your day?

Neuroscientist and BrainTap founder Dr. Patrick Porter joins Marc to demystify brainwaves (alpha/theta), reveal why most adults are missing true recovery, and share simple, science-backed protocols to sleep deeper, focus better, and bounce back faster. From box breathing to hydration with minerals to timing your coffee, Dr. Porter shows how micro-habits compound into macro clarity.
