BrainTap exercise and Diet benefits

BrainTap Wellness Newsletter: “Rewiring the Brain for Wellness”

By Patrick K. Porter, Ph.D.

Obesity and the Brain: A Growing Crisis

I’ve seen firsthand how challenging it can be to break free from the cycle of unhealthy eating habits, stress, and mental fatigue. What many don’t realize is that obesity isn’t just a physical issue—it’s a neurological one. Jennifer Sweenie’s recent article puts it plainly: “Foods high in sugar, fat, and salt trigger a strong release of dopamine in the brain… effectively hijacking our natural satiety signals.” These foods manipulate your reward system, making it increasingly difficult to make conscious, healthy choices.

Our brains were designed for survival, wired to crave calorie-dense foods during times of scarcity. However, today, those ancient instincts clash with a modern environment flooded with hyper-processed foods. As Sweenie highlights, this triggers a cycle of cravings, emotional eating, and impaired decision-making—all while inflammation and hormonal resistance wreak havoc on the brain.

Over time, this neurological loop not only impacts your waistline; it also reshapes how you think and feel. The prefrontal cortex, the region responsible for self-control, executive function, and memory, becomes compromised. That’s why so many people know what they “should” do but still struggle to follow through. It’s not about willpower—it’s about brain function.

A Blueprint for Change

That’s why I wrote The Brain Fitness Blueprint, which will be released by Hay House in October 2025. This isn’t just another wellness book—it’s a guide to help you reclaim your cognitive clarity and emotional stability. Brain fitness involves more than mental puzzles or diet plans; it’s about recalibrating your entire nervous system. It’s about training the brain, not just the body.

At the core of this book is my “Circle of Vitality”—a model that emphasizes eight interconnected dimensions: physical, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental, occupational, financial, and spiritual. When your brain is balanced, these areas thrive. When it’s not, they deteriorate.

The truth is, your brain is the command center of your life. If we start there—by calming the nervous system, aligning our brainwave activity, and reducing stress—we unlock the potential to thrive in every other area.

Why BrainTap Works

This is precisely why I created the BrainTap headset. It’s not merely a piece of tech—it’s a transformative tool. Utilizing Audio-Visual Brain Entrainment (AVBE), BrainTap synchronizes your brainwaves through meticulously crafted light pulses and sound frequencies. With regular use, it aids in training your brain to transition from stress and chaos into a calm, focused, and creative state.

Consider it a gym for your brain; instead of lifting weights, you’re enhancing your mood, mental clarity, and resilience.

Clinical research supports this. A review of over 56 published studies indicates that BrainTap helps reduce anxiety, improve attention, enhance cognition, and promote healthy sleep cycles. All of these outcomes are directly linked to better brain function and, consequently, improved weight management and lifestyle choices.

And it’s safe. With over 40,000 daily users and a decade in the market, BrainTap has established itself as a trusted wellness technology. It meets FDA guidelines as a low-risk General Wellness device. No pills, no invasive treatments—just science-backed neurotechnology that empowers you to feel better and think more clearly.

From Crisis to Capability

You don’t need to be stuck in a cycle of cravings, exhaustion, and regret. You can reset your brain. The key is consistency and intention. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, enhance mental focus, or reduce anxiety, the first step is recognizing that your brain holds the map—and the tools for navigating it are already available.

With The Brain Fitness Blueprint, you’ll learn how to unlock those tools. With BrainTap, you’ll practice them daily. It’s a one-two punch that helps you turn insight into transformation.

"There is something between us." and howner?

Today's had me thinking a lot of thoughts. (Psst. Go give braintapes really good Season 3 meta a read!!!)

“There is something between us,” the Owner says.

The Hotel turns her starry gaze on him. “You’re just now figuring this out?”

The Owner turns, slowly, and studies the room. It’s not the office he’s used to—cluttered with desks full of reports filed and yet-to-be filed. But it’s not the void where he dictates everything to her.

“How many times have we done this?” he asks her.

The Hotel sighs and when she speaks, the amusement is gone, “An uncountable number. You come to the revelation, you get mad and throw your little tantrums. And then you leave. You clam up on me.”

The Owner swallows. Then this isn’t the first time he’s said what he knows he’s going to say. It won’t be the last. He’ll forget. He’ll do this again.

So he goes against what feels right to ask, “Why?”

“Why?” The Hotel hums. “Oh. Why make you at all?”

“Why make me? Why give me this title and let me do a job that means nothing to you?”

The Hotel sighs and she lowers herself down to his level. She steps out of the void dressed in human skin. Judy Blashy’s skin. Without the head wound.

“Why?” the Owner asks. “Do I mean nothing to you? Let me serve you, and—”

“Pet, when I said you hadn’t displeased me, I meant it.” She smiles at him. “You’re doing just what I want you to. Where I need you to.”

“What do I do?”

“You exist,” she tells him. “That’s all.”

And the Owner does not understand.

moooooooom @gristlegrinder is trying to get me to explain the edgy battle idol boy microgenre to unsuspecting innocent people againnnnn

Anyway. Ask meme time! I always feel bad tagging people in these because I can never tell if someone finds it annoying or if someone would do them but doesn't get tagged most of the time and therefore feels left out, so if you're reading this consider it an invitation to participate. That is an @ everyone I guess. All that said, I'm going to pick randomly from both old friends (@braintapes @elderdragonapologist @darkprincecait) and some people who I see interacting with my posts a lot but who I've never really held conversations with (@brieflyinfatuated @parasitic--saint @6-piece-chicken-mcnobody) just to kick things off. Again, if I didn't tag you but this looks like fun, you can do it! But I like giving people notifications and I also like multiples of three so that's why I only actively tagged six people by name.

I went way off the rails talking about stuff so I made it harder than it should be to find the categories. For the record the categories we are talking about are: Last Song Listened To, Currently Watching, Currently Reading, and Current Obsessions should you decide to do this meme. Without further ado....

Last Song Listened To: If we're talking "listened to because I was actively seeking out music," it was apparently No Matter What by The Cat's Whiskers according to Spotify. If we're talking incidental background music, it's whatever that one BGM is in the Grammaphone Cafe in Cassette Beasts.

Currently Watching: Kingohger. Kind of. I'm way behind at the moment, I am really sorry, Cait. If drama tracks/radioplays count I've been picking through Magatsunote and just wrapped up the first season. It's slow going because I have to translate it from Japanese which I absolutely do not speak fluently, I'm trying to finish it before Executioner starts putting out theirs in earnest. I am probably not going to make it in time.

Currently Reading: I finished An Unauthorised Fan Treatise in like. A single sitting which is rare for me, my attention span and memory retention has shrunken to nothing over the past few weeks for various reasons. A mystery novella was apparently just what the doctor ordered. What I'm actively reading now is The Backwater Sermons by Jay Hulme since poems are so much easier for me to get through when I'm having those kinds of moments.

Currently Obssessed With:

So. I'll start with the answer you're fishing for...

...but it's under a cut because I got very wordy given that I'm kind of intense about the things I like.

I don't know how to describe this other than the fact that hit music project Hypnosis Mic, in which the matriarchal government that takes over Japan after World War III legally mandates psychic damage-based bloodsports as a form of conflict resolution, absolutely printed money.

To the best of my reckoning the reason why is that a lot of the women (and a not insubstantial amount of transmascs from what I've observed, me included) who'd grown up on male idol projects like Uta no Prince-Sama and fluffy otomuke were older now and were no longer able to relate to lighthearted high school antics. But being stuck in a miserable adulthood with a world that feels like it's getting worse and worse around you and you have to struggle against the crushing pressure of a system you never asked to be born into, sometimes pitting you against people and things you love? That's relatable. Meanwhile, you still get the fun of identifying and fighting for a musical group? And there are anime boys who are in their mid-twenties to early thirties and are therefore age-appropriate for you to be thirsting after? And and the music is really good? Total goldmine.

And so a bunch of other corporations with an interest in the joseimuke market decided to make their own music projects that (mostly) take place in the dystopian near future and feature a lot of suffering and bloodshed and homoeroticism and some kind of plot they can shoehorn idol units into.

I have nicknamed this microgenre the Edgy Idol Boy Battle Anime and appointed myself the foremost expert on this esteemed field. @missmadril (...who I guess I have now tagged so she can do this tag game also now, have at it bestie) will probably back me up on having claim to it since I have no standards and will immediately watch/listen to anything that falls under that genre, also I have very little competition for that role because I'm pretty sure the EN-side fandom for Magatsunote and Executioner is literally just me.

I got onboard very early with Hypnosis Mic pre-first season and immediately knew the second that I saw Jakurai that he was going to rewrite my brain chemistry. He's a white haired (....well, grey, close enough) angel-themed character who has committed terrible crimes in the past and is wracked with guilt over it, doing everything he can to make up for his misdeeds to the point of needless self-sacrifice. What was I supposed to do, not fall madly in love with him? Now, I am still very occupied with hpmi but we're currently between plot arcs waiting for the third round of...whatever is going on after all those plot twists so in lieu of content I have been fixated on different franchises. More specifically, certain characters. I accidentally wrote essays about them. Sorry.

The shitty pictures are because, once again, the EN-side fanbase of these is me and me alone. As such there are like, zero resources out there including art assets. I tried very hard to make these screenshots of the official webpages. Please clap.

Momiji Beniyashiki

Remember how I knew sight unseen that Jakurai was going to rewrite my brain chemistry? If you forgot, just scroll up, it's like just two paragraphs above. Then you will remember.

Alright, well, here's the second character who's going to do that. Executioner only has its story/character teasers and a single out right now but so did hpmi when I first got into it and I could just instinctively feel it in my otomuke/joseimuke old guard bones. It feels like a bad arthritis day, for the record.

Now, those of you who have been in my presence for some time may be thinking "Hey, he's not Raz's type at all, since when have they been into pink haired alt fashion anime boys?" Well, you have judged me wrongly. I am somewhat less superficial than that. You see, it's all in the personality and backstory.

Momiji is an orphan who was adopted by a phantom thief who stole from the rich to give to the poor, and after finding out his dad's secret decided he was going to become a phantom thief too, owing to his own strong sense of justice. He's a pacifist with a reckless streak who sells his soul to a demon to save the world and that's why he's part of a demon-possessed visual-kei tokusatsu unit, and the other members are his adoptive brothers who are also phantom thieves. I would say this makes sense in context, but it doesn't.

I am entranced by his tboy swag and dedication to doing the right thing in defiance of conventional moral codes. For approximately one second in the latest single teaser (the full single is happening on Friday) (sorry in advance to anyone who talks to me on Friday), he was animated parkouring about the screen and I was so excited I began to vibrate quickly enough that I started clipping through the furniture like a character in a badly programmed video game. If the Asta drama track doesn't get dropped soon I will simply chew my own arm off from frustrated anticipation. I barely speak any Japanese and I've been trying to translate every single line of dialogue and lyrics he's had in my spare time just so I can keep thinking about him during this content gap. I've bookmarked a kanji dictionary because I'm functionally illiterate and I can get through maybe one sentence a day. Why must it not be Friday. I need it to be Friday.

At any rate, stan Asta because one of your alternatives is stanning for the unit that consists mostly of cops, and I think it is a moral good to join the war on crime on the side of the criminals. There's like, a bunch of medical professionals or whatever as the other alternative I guess. But come on. Heroic phantom thief siblings. There's a clear correct choice here.

Now that we have established the objectively best character in any of these edgy idol projects ever, let's move onto the next person who has infested my brain like a culture of cordyceps.

Masamune

"Oh, there's the white-haired anime boy!" you may be saying. To which I respond, "Shut up, a gentleman is allowed to indulge in certain vices."

Now, I know he did conduct a semi-judicial summary execution of a man who had resorted to crime in order to feed his family due in part to the inherently horrific socially stratified dystopia everyone lives in, and that was within the first five minutes of his appearance. So, not a great first impression. Like, the guy was threatening to shoot a hostage, but it was kind of overkill to take his head off without a second of hesitation. At least his corpse got used for like, fertilizer or Soylent Green or something, it's not totally clear other than ominous implications as to what happens to dead people in this setting. Truly a win for all the utilitarians out there!

He has a sense of justice in the worst possible way where he's completely unforgiving, uncompromising, fanatically dedicated to the group that he thinks is helping save humanity, and is incapable of seeing nuance. However, when compared to all of the unrepentant war criminals and the habitual arson-murderer and the omnicidal cult leader and the guy heavily implied to be conducting immoral medical trials on his patients, he starts looking like the least bad option. He is in the unique position of being capable of feeling remorse and he was brainwashed (as in, the cyberpunk corporation running everything rewired his neurons and memories in addition to the mundane definition of the word) so that kind of accounts for some of the "being a terrible person" thing.

He, uh, gets better about the whole fanatical devotion issue? Character growth. Like I said, least awful person in Magatsunote is a low bar to clear but he did it. Good job buddy, I am feeling an emotion roughly adjacent to pride for you.

I very, very rarely get the "I want to treat this character as my personal chew toy" response that other people seem to have. Then l I started watching Magatsunote and suddenly my list of characters I would put into a blender if given half the chance has increased tenfold. You can set a clock by the fact that whenever you think someone is redeemable, they will immediately do something that lets you down a scene after at the latest, but they're at least doing it in an interesting way. I have the most affection for Masamune in the sense I would like to gently pick him up, pat him on the head, and then fling him off a cliff instead of immediately succumbing to my own homicidal impulses. I probably don't need to though because every single person in the series is trying to kill each other, up to and including inter-unit violence and backstabbing. Why get involved when other people are going to do my work for me?

Don't take this as a knock against the series, it has some of the best writing chops out of what's otherwise a guilty pleasure genre for me, but it is very hard to recommend to people due to the absolutely bizarre premise even by the microgenre's standards (I honestly don't know how to start explaining it) and all of the characters being kind of. Like that. You need a specific mindset, part of which is an extremely high tolerance for weird anime bullshit and thinking horrible people ruining each others' lives is good wholesome fun, to genuinely enjoy it.

Wait, I'm supposed to be trying to convince people to listen to music. Uh. Stan ARK Kansakyoku, the least of many evils. Also Libra is a good song so, you know, there's that. That's the best pitch I can give his unit.

On a more normal person note, I've been having a lot of fun with Octopath Traveler 2 and I refuse to say which character has been occupying most of my brainspace because some of you will never let me live it down even though I think it is very cruel of the writers to genetically engineer a man designed to appeal to me and me alone, specifically, and I have already said way too much about my taste in men within just this post alone. Don't worry, though! I'm bi! And my taste in women is even worse. It starts with Rodya from Limbus Company and then it's all downhill from there. Listen, she was at least a tiny bit justified in that murder, don't judge me.

Actually, now that I'm thinking on it, Temenos needs to grow his hair out a few inches longer to be truly perfect for my awful tastes. So maybe this isn't a conspiracy against me. Nevertheless, further research into this concerning trend of white-haired anime boys seemingly tailored to my very specific desires is needed.

The last real obsession I have as of late is monster collecting games. I've mostly been doing a SwSh speedrun (to get Rapid Strikes Urshifu, Regileki and Spectrier) (yes, this is for competitive reasons) (at literally every turn where I had a choice I made the wrong meta one my first go around) and playing through Cassette Beasts as a more casual option. Cassette Beasts is super fun! I think it's really more of a Persona-alike than a monster catching game despite how it's been advertised but it 100% nails the late eighties/early nineties nostalgia in the best possible way. I'm so happy I got it on sale but TBH I'd say it would have still been worth it at full price with the amount of fun I've had playing it. It's also really well-designed from a mechanical standpoint IMO and I like its unique take on how type matchups should work, the fact that it uses status effects instead of just a damage multiplier gives so much more tactical weight to combat.

#thank you for the ask!#ask game

La Diablerie Coterie Director’s Commentary

The people on Tumblr have spoken and want to see the notes I have on all our favorite fanged beasts. So here they are below the cut because I have been thriving in this AU for a while.

The Lobby Boy: Easiest to pick a clan for. Nosferatu just suits him, don’t you think? I also lifted some pages from Braintapes regarding Marfan syndrome Lobby Boy and used it for his backstory as well as exaggerating it the way most Nosferatu traits are. Love him so much. He's also the Manager's juicebox.

The Manager: She was really hard to pick a clan for but once I did some digging on Clan Giovanni I was like “That’s her, minus the necromancy.” So I had picked out the family of Dunsirn. Scottish cannibals, y'know? Because Clan Giovanni have that painful bite, it made it pretty easy to turn the Lobby Boy into her juicebox, furthering the canon compliant codependence. And since, in canon, she’s been flirted with and lets her eyes glaze over I let that be part of the reason she up and killed her Sire and joined up with Madam Hotel.

The Owner: OBVIOUSLY I had to go with Clan Gangrel. Did you know there’s bird Gangrel out there? There’s even ocean ones. He grows feathers (which he plucks when Madam's around). Also the idea of him being an ex-WW1 conscript turned because he was killed in trench warfare was too rich an idea not to use. Maybe we’ll get more of his whole thing with Madam Hotel later?

The Bellhop: Pretty much as soon as I picked Clan Nosferatu for Lobby Boy I knew I would have to make the Bellhop Clan Toreador for the drama. She’s my specialest and most beloved character in this AU. She’s fun. Her thing with the Concierge (at least when it was just the two of them) was doing those tattoos from a pre-designed list and anyone marked with white ink would become the Concierge's next meal. It's repayment for him taking her under his wing when she was new.

The Concierge: I know I said “Clan Ventrue is so boring” but I like to think the Concierge is my exception. Since Ventrue come with a feeding quirk I decided he can only eat people with tattoos done within a year and, since the Bellhop comes from the clan of artists, they have a nice codependent thing going. He took Hop in when her Sire abandoned her and made sure Hop had a proper introduction to the rules of the Masquerade including vouching for her as a surrogate-Sire.

The Auditor: If the Bellhop and Concierge have a weird codependent thing, the Auditor makes them both worse. But, consequently, both of them make the Auditor better. I made her clan Gionvanni also for Drama reasons but made her from the Milliners who’re the new kids on the block. Since the Clan Giovanni are not the best, Aud's had it rough and clings to any scrap of affection she gets, especially from Hop and Cierge. Back when the New Crew were hiding out from the Auditor's family, she (attempted) to fulfill her promise to Hop that she would hunt down and kill Hop's Sire for leaving her. She didn't quite get the guy but she did get Madam Hotel's attention.

Madam Hotel and Judy Blashy: CLAN MALKAVIAN REPRESENT! I really enjoyed the dynamics of the Voerman sisters and it shows with these two. Madam Hotel as the cruel, cunning creature that keeps her territory free from meddling Camarilla and Sabbat alike. Judy Blashy as the softer side that makes the Staff stick around, even if it's just out of pity. It’s all very good. As for who’s the Human and who’s the Beast, even I’m not 100% certain.
