Can past trauma shape our brain health without us even knowing?

In this Brain Fitness podcast episode, I sit down with Dr. John King and his wife, Mel, as they share their journey through complex post-traumatic stress and healing with BrainTap.

Dr. John A. King, author, poet, and survivor of sexual abuse and trafficking, has spent years as a speaker, activist, and corporate coach. In 2008, he uncovered memories of long-buried trauma, driving him to relearn the leadership principles he'd taught others. His journey is highlighted in the documentary Stopping Traffic and his book, #dealwithit: Living Well with PTSD. A powerful advocate, John draws on his experience to inspire those recovering from trauma and PTSD. When not speaking or writing, he enjoys classic cars, books, and road trips with his wife and dog.

Today, we explore how trauma hides within, silently impacting our lives—and the tools that can help rewire the mind for resilience and recovery. Join us to uncover how breathing and brain fitness can empower your journey to mental well-being.

Can our brains help us burn more fat?

In this episode, I’m joined by Apostolos Atsalakis, co-founder of PNOĒ to explore how breath analysis can provide deeper insights into our body’s metabolic processes.

Apostolos was born and raised in Greece. From an early age, he was intrigued by how technology could improve lives. With a natural inclination toward subjects like math and physics, he pursued his passion by studying Nanotechnology at the University of Cambridge, eager to explore the technical applications of his academic knowledge. The idea for PNOĒ emerged during a conference he attended called “The Next Big Thing,” where someone mentioned the field of breath analysis. Instantly captivated by the potential of this field, he began conducting deep research. Today, PNOĒ has grown into a global company and leader in breath analysis, yet he believes they are only at the beginning, with much more to learn and achieve.

Today we discuss the results of our recent study combining BrainTap with PNOĒ’s technology, which showed a fascinating shift in fuel utilization—helping the body burn more fat after a BrainTap session.
