Ryan Londot of Aegis Performance Institute joins Kevin to break down neurofeedback, EEG brain training, neuroplasticity, sleep, concussion recovery, and peak performance.Ryan shares the personal health journey that led him into neurofeedback and explains how practitioners measure brain activity, identify patterns, and use real-time visual, auditory, and tactile feedback to train the brain.Kevin also shares his own experience after several months of neurofeedback, including major improvements he says he's noticed in sleep, calmness, word recall, and mental clarity.They get into SMR training, brain mapping, operant conditioning, post-concussion protocols, CTE and contact sports, the role of placebo, and why athletes, entrepreneurs, first responders, military personnel, and other high performers are looking for ways to gain an extra 1–3%.It's part neuroscience conversation, part Kevin turning himself into the experiment—and exactly the kind of rabbit hole Old Man Grappling Hour was built for.

Kevin Gallagher and Sonny Parlin are back together on Old Man Grappling Hour. Sonny is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, owner of Gracie Bradenton, longtime friend of Kevin's, and one of the original co-hosts of the podcast. This week, there isn't an interview or one big topic to dissect. Kevin and Sonny catch up on their personal lives, talk about what's happening in Jiu Jitsu and grappling, share perspectives from decades spent training and coaching, and inevitably wander into stories from their past. It's BJJ, coaching, life, old friends, good stories, and the kind of conversation that made Old Man Grappling Hour what it is. If you enjoy Jiu Jitsu podcasts that feel less like formal interviews and more like hanging out after training with a couple of experienced black belts, this one's for you.
