🎙️ In this groundbreaking and science-backed episode, we sit down with Dr. Patrick Porter—creator of BrainTap and pioneer in light, sound, and neuroplasticity—for a deep dive into how technology can rewire the mind for resilience, focus, and peak performance.
From his early breakthroughs in guided visualization to developing a device now used by millions worldwide, Dr. Porter reveals how brainwave training transforms sleep, stress, and cognitive health. He unpacks the clinical research showing how brain voltage impacts dementia and Alzheimer’s, explains the role of epigenetics in rewiring our biology, and shares why most professionals unknowingly run their lives on mental “default mode.” Together we explore the science of energy, the nervous system, and how creative neuroscience is helping leaders, athletes, and everyday people unlock their full potential.
Whether he’s breaking down how light therapy increases ATP production, exposing the brain’s dependence on training and practice, or showing why positivity and gratitude literally change genetic expression, Dr. Porter reminds us that your brain is not fixed—it’s adaptive, trainable, and capable of extraordinary transformation.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
