Joel Salatin is the most famous farmer in the world and today he’s on the Made To Thrive Show! It was an honor. This is an episode for anyone who is thinking about taking true accountability for their nutrition and knowing that the food they eat and feed their family comes from a place without toxic chemicals and gruesome animal treatment. If there is genuinely someone I’ve had on the show who is bringing true hope to and changing the world, it’s Joel.

Wow! This episode is truly mind-blowing. Dr Porter’s genius and knowledge about the brain and brain health is unparalleled. Patrick K. Porter, PhD is the creator of BrainTap®, a global leading company in brain fitness. Prior to founding BrainTap, Patrick dedicated his life to studying neuropsychology, and eventually arrived to the conclusion that once established “facts” like there is a set number of brain cells, that intelligence quotient is fixed and that our brains do not change are in fact not true. Patrick’s clinical experience and research rather revealed that the human brain is, in fact, plastic, making it capable of change, improvement, and expansion. He and BrainTap has since worked with heads of state to athletic superstars, educators, executives, founders, and everyday people wanting to be at their best.Join us as we explore:Stories of BrainTap success from stopping babies crying, to MMA fighters envisioning success and Olympic athletes reaching new heights.

How one night of good, high quality deep sleep is worth 30,000 dollars of serotonin.The fact that the brain is so powerful Dr Porter trained himself to turn off pain and do surgery without anesthetics!
