Hello, and welcome to 3 00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:16.199 boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. Lately, 4 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:22.359 I've been seeing a lot of patients with tenitis or ringing in the ears. 5 00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:29.960 So with ringing in the ears, it's usually caused by an overactive nervous system, 6 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:37.399 so the brain is overfiring. So the main purpose of therapy is to 7 00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:42.640 calm down the brain so the brain's not overactive. So we see a lot 8 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:49.359 of people with tenitis or tendis that have anxiety. They might also have difficulty 9 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.840 sleeping. They might have some pain or headaches or dizziness. We're going to 10 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:59.520 go over all that stuff today. So one of the big causes of tenitis 11 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:06.560 is listening to loud music, loud sounds. People who go to concerts, 12 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:11.480 they damage their hair cells. People who you know, are working the subway 13 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.640 all the screeching, or they work with jackhammers, or you know something where 14 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.200 there's a lot of loud noises, You're going to damage your hair cells and 15 00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:26.680 cause tonitis. And that is very difficult to reverse, so you have to 16 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:32.719 do your best not to listen to too loud of sounds. So right now 17 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:38.239 people everyone's listening to headphones and they're blasting their music and it's too much. 18 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.319 And you go at home and you get surround sound, and you go to 19 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:46.319 movie theaters and it's so loud, and you go to concerts and you know, 20 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.959 all these loud sounds are literally damaging your hair cells. So keep it 21 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.599 as low as possible, don't keep raising up the volume, keep it low 22 00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:01.280 and try and make your ears work harder, sort of like exercising your ears 23 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.439 to listen to the lowest possible music and still be able to hear it, 24 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:15.520 and then you increase you're hearing abilities there in addition to reducing chances of tonitis. 25 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.919 So with the headphones also, you know it's you've got to stay away 26 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:29.159 from those AirPods, the ones that are bluetooth. Then there's no wire connected, 27 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.800 so those probably have a little bit more radiation and that's right next to 28 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:40.240 your brain. So I personally want to decrease the amount of radiation my brain 29 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:45.560 is getting. So even if they tell you it's safe, you know you 30 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:51.240 want to decrease any radiation If possible, so you're only allowed a certain amount 31 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.400 your entire life, so use it when you really need it. So if 32 00:02:54.439 --> 00:03:00.840 it's not necessary, don't radiate your brain. Start to use wire headphones, 33 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.400 you speaker phone. Don't hold your phone next to your ear. You know, 34 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.639 if you're at home, your Wifi's on and you're holding your phone next 35 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:15.479 to your ear with the five G signal, you're literally microwaving your brain. 36 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.719 You got to be careful, you know, would you put your brain in 37 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.080 a microwave? You know, I hope not. You know, I don't 38 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.400 even want to stay close to microwave, so I always tell people if they're 39 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:30.120 using a microwave, stay away from it too. You don't want to put 40 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.039 your head right next to microwave for three minutes and then open up the door. 41 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:39.000 It's like, stay far away. That's radiation, right, and it's 42 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:45.319 best not to use a microwave at all. It alters the food and water, 43 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.159 so you're not getting the same nutritional value, so try and stay away 44 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:55.919 from the microwave. You can get really fast heat with a small toaster of 45 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.159 and that you just put on baker broil. It works very quick, you 46 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:05.400 know, maybe it's five minutes instead of three minutes. So store all your 47 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.159 food and glass as opposed to plastic. Then you can stick to glass container 48 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:17.040 or the even the stainless steel straight is straight into the little toaster oven and 49 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:24.680 heat up food that way if you want to do an alternative to microwave. 50 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.800 All right, So with tonitis, there's also a neurological condition called Minyear's disease, 51 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:38.160 So sometimes people do have toenitis with min Year's disease. It's a neurological 52 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:44.360 disorder. It's not very common and in my opinion, it's overdiagnosed, but 53 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:51.879 it does exist. In addition to tenitis, you're going to have dizziness or 54 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:59.439 vertigo. In addition to the tonitis and vertigo, with Minyear's disease, you're 55 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:04.959 also o to have hearing loss, and the hearing loss is in a low 56 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:11.800 tone. Okay, so not every tonitis is many years, but if you 57 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:16.319 have tonitis, if you have vertigo, if you have low tone hearing loss, 58 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:23.839 then it's definitely possible. One of the things to do is to decrease 59 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:30.120 salt intake. So a lot of foods are overloaded with salt. Even bread 60 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:35.199 has tons of salt. Catch up tons of salt all these dressings, tons 61 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:42.920 of salt, soy sauces and kariaki sauces and barbecue sauces and honey mustard sauces 62 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.959 and all these sauces and things that people use for the food, and you 63 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:54.439 get at the restaurant loaded with salt. So if you have man years disease, 64 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.959 you definitely want to bring down that salt. It'll make a big difference. 65 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:02.560 Increase your water intake, right, and then calm down the overactive nervous 66 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:10.519 system. That is the most important thing is to calm down the overactive nervous 67 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:15.360 system, all right, Now, what else can cause tonitis? Sometimes it's 68 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.519 a lot of earwax. You got to be careful using those Q tips. 69 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:26.639 You know, the human body is perfectly designed, so there's really nothing supposed 70 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:31.040 to go in your ear that is smaller than your pinky of your hand, 71 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:36.000 and Q tips are much smaller than the pinky of your hand. And if 72 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:40.639 you put the Q tips in your ear, you could actually push wax in 73 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.560 and cause your own problems. So if you've probably compacted too much wax in 74 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:49.959 your ear, you could go to a doctor. They have these little little 75 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:56.399 instruments like these little metal hooks they just pull out the wax. You can 76 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.079 do it at home with ear candling. You could get that at a local 77 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:06.759 pharmacy where you take your own wax out. You can dissolve it with certain 78 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:12.680 fluids. So you know, you can find stuff at the store to help 79 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.800 with your own wax. But don't use the Q tip and think you're going 80 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:20.600 to be able to pull out all this extra wax there. So the extra 81 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:27.959 wax can definitely cause tenitis, so you gotta be aware of that as well. 82 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.839 All right, So what do we do to help the overactive nervous system? 83 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:41.319 So the overactive nervous system usually comes from your sympathetic nervous system. The 84 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:49.480 sympathetic nervous system increases stress, cortisol, your heartbeat increases, your blood pressure 85 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:58.399 increases. It might cause difficulty with sleep or digestion. That's an increase in 86 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:05.240 your sympathetic nerves a system we call that the fight, flight or freeze. 87 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.120 So if you're in the fight or flight mode, then your brain is going 88 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.639 to be overactive. Blood pressure is going to increase, heart rates going to 89 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:22.160 increase, respirations gonna increase, You're going to overactivate your muscles, get more 90 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.920 tightness, more pain, not enough oxygen into the brain, the brain's gonna 91 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:33.039 start getting overfired, inflamed, and tonitis can result. So we have to 92 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:39.799 calm down the brain. You can calm down the brain by stimulating your vegas 93 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:46.559 nerve. There's a few ways to increase stimulation to the vegas nerve. One 94 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:54.879 is gargling, and you could gargle really intensely, really loud, for thirty 95 00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:00.279 seconds, three times a day. You can also do the gag reflex. 96 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:07.159 All doctors learn in school when we're going through these cranial nerves that the gag 97 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:15.879 reflex activates cranial nerves nine and ten. Cranial nine is called the glosso pharyngeal, 98 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.759 and cranial ten it's called the vegas nerve. So everybody's taught that in 99 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:30.720 school that the gag reflex stimulates these nerves that are linked to the parasympathetic nervous 100 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:37.279 system. However, very few doctors are using it as therapy. What I 101 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:45.519 do as a functional neurologist is figure out the areas that are not working properly 102 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:52.919 and come up with proven ways through neuroscience that we know activate those weak areas. 103 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.399 So it's not rocket science. Just like you could go to a physical 104 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:05.320 therapist to strengthen a weak muscle. You can also go to a functional neurologish 105 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:11.519 to strengthen a weak area of your brain. There's not a lot of functional 106 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:18.120 neurologists in the world, but there are everywhere you know, in every state, 107 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.440 in not every single country, but pretty much close to at least every 108 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.159 country, So there are all over the world. So if you have friends 109 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.080 or family that are looking for a functional neurologist, let me know. I 110 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:35.360 can hook you up with somebody you know in a different area or a different 111 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.440 country. But a functional neurologist is going to figure out where the weak areas 112 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:46.120 of the brain and do neurologic exercises to strengthen those areas. Might be an 113 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.200 eye exercise, it might be a smell or a sound, or it might 114 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.080 be a light, or it might be a movement, or it might be 115 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.080 a memory exercise or a balance exercise, or a breathing exercise, or a 116 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:03.120 posture exercise or coordination exercise or working on reaction time, or you know, 117 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:09.440 doing things only on one side and spinning in a chair and using cold laser 118 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:16.320 therapy and doing proful nerves stimulators and doing neurosensory integrators and interactive metronomes. There's 119 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:22.919 a wide variety of therapies that can be done to stimulate those weak areas, 120 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:28.240 but the key is to figure out where those weak areas are. The best 121 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.759 test to figure out where the weakest areas are in the brain, it's called 122 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:39.879 a q EG brain mapping. A qEEG brain mapping. All you have to 123 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.600 do is where a cap, and the cap has different electrodes attached to it 124 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.600 that are going to find the location of the areas of the brain that are 125 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:54.120 not functioning at optimal levels. And after it finds the areas of the brain 126 00:11:54.200 --> 00:12:00.399 that are not functioning at optimal levels, then we could locate the weak areas 127 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:05.120 and teach you how to stimulate those weak areas in a natural way, without 128 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:11.240 any drugs, without any surgery, integrating the whole brain and body in a 129 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:18.320 holistic way. This q EG brain mapping is normally five hundred dollars, but 130 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.039 we're going to do a special For the first seven people that call, text 131 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:28.799 or email, you could get the entire five hundred dollars QEG brain mapping for 132 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:35.080 only twenty one dollars.

Hello and 153 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.720 welcome back to boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. 154 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:24.279 We were just talking about tonitis ringing in the ears. You get it 155 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:30.240 from the year's disease. You're gonna get it from listening to loud music, 156 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:37.720 loud sounds in your headphones, if your workspace has really loud sounds, get 157 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:43.720 it from impacted earwax. Be careful with the Q tips, and you get 158 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:50.000 it from the overactive nervous system stress mode increased cord assault, which is the 159 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:58.360 stress homemone overactive sympathetic nervous system. We talked about stimulating your vagus nerve through 160 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.639 guard going really intensely for thirty seconds, three times a day, and the 161 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:09.399 gag reflex. Only have to do that once. It's very powerful. Do 162 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.559 not do the gag reflex if you do have a history of bolimia or anorex 163 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.559 here or eating disorder, eating disorders, So we don't want to trigger any 164 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.320 bad processes or thoughts by doing some of these brain exercises. So other than 165 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.440 that, though, go for it. Don't go too far back where you 166 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.320 cause a vomit, but just go far enough back to elicit a reflex where 167 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.399 you just get a little like a gag. All right, that's very good 168 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:46.120 for the vegas nerve. Making loud, deep noises with the back of your 169 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.320 throat, anything with the back of your throat's gonna be good. It's going 170 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:54.720 to help the vaguest nerve. Why people do that, Like meditation noises, 171 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.120 those really help to calm the nervous system. Now, now, another thing 172 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:04.240 that we do in the all for tenitis, it's called surround inhibition. Surround 173 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:11.320 inhibition is when we work together to figure out the exact sound of the tenitis 174 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.240 that you hear, because it might be allowed high tone, it might be 175 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.879 a low tone, a hissing sound, it might be different types of noises. 176 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.720 So we figure out what the noise is that you hear because it's an 177 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:29.519 overactive nervous system, and then we get that noise and I put it next 178 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:34.440 to your ear at the same time doing neurologic exercises that I've discovered through either 179 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:41.879 the QEG brain mapping or my neurologic evaluation, which are appropriate for you to 180 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:47.000 do because it's going to activate your brain in a certain area that's going to 181 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:52.240 turn off the tenitis. So you do the exact sound of the teninitis and 182 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.320 we do a brain exercise at the same time. It's called surround inhibition, 183 00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:02.799 turning off that sound that one little town so you don't hear that tone anymore, 184 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.279 and then you don't suffer from the tonitus that we have to do over 185 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.640 and over and over again. Sometimes all patients do four treatments in a day 186 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.200 where they do one treatment and then rest a little bit, then they do 187 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.400 another treatment, then they rest a little bit, another treatment. It's a 188 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.920 brain boot camp, but it works very well. They're called intensive therapies and 189 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:27.400 do very well with tonitis because that's something you have to be pretty aggressive with 190 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:36.319 doing these neurologic exercises to turn off these bad sounds. And the best way 191 00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:41.119 to figure out where it's coming from is that qEEG brain mapping that I was 192 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.079 talking about before the first break. So hopefully you've called emails signed up to 193 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:52.920 be one of those first seven people for the q EG brain mapping. All 194 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.880 right. So another thing that we talked about, especially with manyears disease is 195 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:03.559 dizziness. So times you can get ringing in the ears and dizziness. Also 196 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.400 sometimes you can just get ringing in the ears and sometimes you could just get 197 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:12.119 dizziness. With Manyear's disease, we said, you're gonna get the ringing in 198 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:15.720 the ears, the tonitis, you're gonna get the dizziness, and you're gonna 199 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:21.759 get the low tone hearing loss. All right. Now, sometimes you might 200 00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:26.319 only have dizziness. There's all different types of dizziness. You could get dizziness 201 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:34.160 from what's called POTS, POTS positional or the static tachycardia syndrome. We see 202 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:40.640 a lot of patients with that in the office. It comes from your autonomic 203 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:47.279 nervous system disautonomia. So when we have patients with disautonomia, they might suffer 204 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:52.960 from POTS as well. These are the patients that when they get up quickly, 205 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:57.160 get very light headed and might get dizzy and have some balance problems. 206 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.720 So you go usually from a lying position to a standing or a seated position 207 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:08.000 to a standing If you go too quickly, then you get all lightheaded, 208 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:14.759 if you get thrown off. That comes from pots. What's supposed to happen 209 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.759 is that when you go from the lying position to the standing position, your 210 00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:27.000 blood pressure is supposed to increase. If the blood pressure does not increase to 211 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:33.160 squeeze that blood and oxygen into the brain to give you that odd energy that 212 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.440 you need, then the heart says, oh, the blood pressure didn't increase, 213 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:42.839 I a better increase my pulse, my heart rate. It's called tach 214 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:51.319 acardia increase heart rate, and that's going to happen when you go from a 215 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:56.359 lying to standing. If you have pots, your heart rate is going to 216 00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:02.880 increase, usually over twenty beats per minute. That's to be diagnosed with pots. 217 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.640 If you do have pots, then you have an issue in your autonomic 218 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:12.599 nervous system. So just like you can exercise muscles, you can exercise your 219 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:18.480 autonomic nervous system. But we have to figure out is that the cause of 220 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:25.319 your dizziness. If that's the cause, then the treatment is pretty cool. 221 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:30.720 One of the treatments we do is where I have this table that is flat 222 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:36.440 down and then I press this hydraulic button and it lifts you up a little 223 00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.480 bit. And then I do a little brain exercise and I put your pulse 224 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:44.200 socks on, so I'm measuring your heart rate the whole time, making sure 225 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.680 it doesn't go up twenty beats per minute. And I do this at different 226 00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:52.839 levels, and it might take six, seven, eight different levels, because 227 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.400 I might have to do it really slow to make sure that heart rate doesn't 228 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.400 increase. But as I get the brain better through or plasticity, which is 229 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:07.759 rewiring the brain and helping with the autonomic nervous system, we can actually speed 230 00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:15.200 up the table so we can go faster, and then the POTS symptoms decrease 231 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.720 where you don't get dizzy when you get up from lying down. We might 232 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:23.160 have to do these therapies over and over and over again for tempt to work. 233 00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:29.079 They're usually not just going to work in one therapy sashion, but if 234 00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.680 we do it over and over again, we're going to create change very quickly. 235 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:38.400 That's for dizziness that can come from POTS, which is an autonomic nervous 236 00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:51.799 system dysfunction. Another CAUD cause of dizziness is called BPPV benign paroximal position overtigo, 237 00:21:52.559 --> 00:22:00.079 so What this is is where you have crystals in the ear b PPV 238 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:10.039 crystals in the inner ear. These crystals are in canals that they shouldn't be 239 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:15.880 and it makes you feel like you're moving when you're not. That's called vertigo, 240 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:22.359 where you feel like you're spinning. With BPPV, you're going to get 241 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:29.880 the spinning sensation when you're in bed, lying down, or turning over, 242 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.960 moving your head in different positions. The most common is turning over in bed. 243 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:38.079 So if you are on one side and you turn over quick to the 244 00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:41.160 other side and all of a sudden you get vertigo where the whole room is 245 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:48.599 spinning, then you most likely have BPPV. That's about twenty five percent of 246 00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:52.480 my vertigo patients that I see. It's a big portion of them. And 247 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:57.880 the good news is it's the easiest one to fix. You could fix it 248 00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:07.319 in just a few minutes by doing this Epply's repositioning maneuver and you just come 249 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:11.799 into the office and I tilt your head in these certain angles to pour the 250 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:18.960 crystals out of the area whether they're not going to cause disruption anymore. So 251 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:25.400 that's moving the crystals. It's very easy to fix if done properly this maneuver, 252 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:30.119 and it's literally only one visit. That one is the easiest one to 253 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.839 fix. It only takes one visit and it only takes a few minutes. 254 00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:38.960 But it's really intense when it happens. So if you ever have that, 255 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:44.519 or know anyone who has that, just tell them to call my office and 256 00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:49.359 we could definitely fix that really quickly. There's six different canals. We just 257 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:53.279 got to figure out which canal the crystals are in and then pour it out 258 00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:59.559 of the canal. That's all pretty simple, BPPV. That's another cause of 259 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:08.519 dis Okay, another cause of dizziness comes from an area of your brain called 260 00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:15.279 your cerebellum. Your cerebellum has more neurons in it than the whole brain put 261 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.880 together. It means little brain. It kind of sits in the back of 262 00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.920 your head there. It's a tiny little pocket, but it's really complicated. 263 00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:26.839 And that's the area the brain that gets affected when you drink alcohol. So 264 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.519 right, so, people when they drink alcohol, they get dizzy, get 265 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:36.200 the spins, they can't walk, they slur their speech. So if your 266 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:44.160 cerebellum is not working properly, that can cause dizziness as well, and there's 267 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:49.400 ways to exercise the cerebellum. So I might even spend people in a rotational 268 00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:55.960 chair that I have to stimulate the cerebellum. Or do these infinity symbols in 269 00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.519 the air on one side, or I might have them. One could try 270 00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:06.519 this at home. Take your left leg, draw clockwise circles, and then 271 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:11.680 at the same time, with your left hand draw the number six, so 272 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.400 it's clockwise circles with your left leg in the air, and then draw the 273 00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.319 number six in the air with your left hand. Make sure you don't reverse 274 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:23.519 it. So that's going to help an exercise to stimulate that cerebellum on the 275 00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:26.960 left side. It's right on the right side. If one side is a 276 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:32.279 lot harder than you do extra reps on that weaker side. All right, 277 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:37.079 that's for the cerebellum, and that helps with certain types of dizzy days. 278 00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:42.680 We're going to continue this conversation when we come back from the break.

Welcome back to boost your brain 290 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:45.079 power. I am your host, Doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about the 291 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:52.759 different types of dizziness. You could get it from me years syndrome. You 292 00:26:52.799 --> 00:27:00.960 could get it from BPPV crystals in the inner ear. You could get it 293 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:07.640 from the cerebellum. So that's people who you know. We said before the 294 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.200 break, we're talking about how alcohol affects that area, the cerebellum. So 295 00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:18.759 when the police do those tests to check your sobriety, that's checking your cerebellum. 296 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:22.160 And we do that in the office. Actually, so oh look over 297 00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:25.680 here, follow my finger, and I'm looking for anastagmus if you're having a 298 00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.799 stagmus that might be the cause of your dizziness, might be influenced by your 299 00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:33.480 cerebellum or we have you close your eyes and touch your finger to your nose, 300 00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.440 so you could try that at home. Close your eyes slowly, you 301 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:40.480 touch your finger to your nose. If you miss your nose, you might 302 00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:45.759 have a problem in your cerebellum. Or balancing on one leg. You can't 303 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.000 stand on one leg, you might have a problem in your cerebellum. If 304 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.160 you can't balance on your right leg, you probably have a problem with your 305 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.160 rights the cerebellum. And if you can't balance on your left leg, you 306 00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:03.839 probably have a problem with your left cerebellum. If you can't touch your right 307 00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.880 hand to your nose properly and you can't stand on your right leg, that 308 00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:11.480 increases your chances of a cerebellar problem. And then if you have the stagmust 309 00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:15.720 also that also increases. So you kind of got to do a full neurological 310 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.880 evaluation. We can't base it on one test, but we do these tests 311 00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:25.400 in the office, these full neurological evaluation to come to the root cause of 312 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:30.319 the tonitis or the dizziness. Or headaches or whatever it is. We're gonna 313 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:34.759 go over headaches as well, but we want to do a complete neurologic evaluation. 314 00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:38.680 We want to you know, check your blood pressure and check your oxygen 315 00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:45.039 levels and your balance, and your coordination and your hearing, and you know 316 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:49.559 your sensitivities to lights and sounds and movements. So I'm going to do a 317 00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:55.599 full neurological evaluation. I have two offices. One office is in New York 318 00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:59.759 City in the West Village, Office six, Avenuum Bleaker. And then I 319 00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:03.640 have office in Emerson, New Jersey. That's in Bergen County, northern part 320 00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:10.440 of New Jersey. We do these full neurological valuations. We also check for 321 00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:15.039 your memory, make sure you don't have any chances of dementia or Alzheimer's. 322 00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:19.039 We also check out to make sure your balance is good, that you're not 323 00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:22.200 gonna have any falls. We want to prevent that. Even check out your 324 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.640 posture, your alignment, listen to your lungs and your heart and your gutse 325 00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.920 about forty five minutes. It's normally five hundred dollars, but we're gonna do 326 00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:37.400 a special today. If you want a complete neurological evaluation where I'd also do 327 00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:41.640 a physical and also even review blood work if you've had that done recently. 328 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:47.880 It's normally five hundred dollars to spend about forty five minutes in my office doing 329 00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:52.519 all these tests, but we're gonna do a special for the first seven people 330 00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:57.519 that call. You can get the complete neurological valuation and one on one console 331 00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:00.759 with me to tell me about your three and any health concerns that you have, 332 00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:06.400 so we could come up with a natural, holistic and integrative way without 333 00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:11.279 any drugs or surgery to get you to heal quickest, function best, feel 334 00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:17.400 best and live a better quality of life forty five minutes.

Our patients can do 341 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.519 it from their homes and the convenience out of lunch break or something like that. 342 00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:52.880 So you could do my New York office, my New Jersey office, 343 00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:57.279 or even over zoom. All you have to do is be one of first 344 00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:02.559 seven people to call or text or email and you could get the entire five 345 00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:07.240 hundred dollars neurological evaluation for only twenty one dollars. The phone number again is 346 00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:12.480 six four six two two one six seven three eight. You can call or 347 00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:18.400 text that number if you want to do email you email info at Kaplan, 348 00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.680 brain, embody dot com. If you want to sign up for both, 349 00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:26.880 you could do that. You could do the twenty one dollar QEG brain mapping 350 00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:36.680 and the twenty one dollar one on one neurological evaluation with me at one of 351 00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:41.640 my offices for only twenty one dollars. And that's the way we could figure 352 00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.440 out where's the tonight is coming from, where is the dizziness coming from, 353 00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:52.599 where's the headaches coming from? So with dizziness, you know there's lots of 354 00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:57.759 different causes, so we really have to do a thorough evaluation to figure out 355 00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:08.000 where that coming from. Sometimes it is a autonomic dysfunction, with autoimmune dysfunction 356 00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:15.559 meaning because the brain's overactive, so is the immune system, and you can 357 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:22.680 even have viruses and bacteria that start to leave the gut area because of all 358 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:30.279 the inflammation and exit into the bloodstream. And if there's too much inflammation in 359 00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:34.599 the brain, you can also get a leaky brain and these viruses and bacteria 360 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:39.480 can start to attack your brain. That can cause dizziness. Really bad case 361 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:45.119 scenario is also a tumor. There's something called an acoustic neuroma for that. 362 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:49.480 We need imaging to see if we have that, but that can cause dizziness. 363 00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:58.160 You know, stress people in stress mode can cause dizziness. A big 364 00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:05.400 one that we see, especially after concussions head injuries are the eyes where the 365 00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:07.920 eyes are messed up, maybe like one eyes a little bit higher than the 366 00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:12.240 other, or the eyes don't converge properly, they don't come in together, 367 00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:16.000 or they don't diverge properly, or one pupil size is bigger than the other, 368 00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:22.839 or they don't follow or track a moving object properly, or they have 369 00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:28.440 difficulty reading, or they can't move their eyes fast, or they can't their 370 00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:31.720 head and eyes don't move together. So when they're in a car or something, 371 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:37.079 or on a boat or that's called Maldday debarkment syndrome. So that's another 372 00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:45.440 cause of dizziness. It's called seasickness where you know the environments moving, but 373 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:50.960 then the eyes and the head can compensate properly the Malday debarkment syndrome. So 374 00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:54.400 we have to do a lot of eye exercises for these people. So concussion 375 00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:58.559 people, yes, they need a lot of eye exercises, but they need 376 00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:05.119 to do the appropriate eye exercises. So the best test for that is called 377 00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:08.760 a V So if you've ever had a concussion and I don't care even the 378 00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:14.440 concussion was twenty years ago, that could affect your dizziness today, that could 379 00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.800 affect your headaches today, that can affect your tonight is today. I'm a 380 00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:22.719 co author on a book. It's called Concussion Discussions. You can get it 381 00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:27.840 on Concussion discussions dot com. But I talk about all the research is showing 382 00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.639 that you can hit your head and have symptoms years later. It doesn't always 383 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:36.039 have to be right away, but a lot of patients we see have concussion 384 00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:42.360 traumatic brain injury and they have dizziness, and we have to do these eye 385 00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:49.639 exercises. There's lots of eye exercise, there's pursuits and cause and optokinetics and 386 00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:57.119 vestibular ocular exercises. So there's all these exercises convergence, brock strings, divergence 387 00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:02.360 that we could do to strengthen the weak eye muscles. Just like you have 388 00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:07.320 muscles, you know, like your biceps and your triceps in your arms, 389 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:12.440 your eyes have muscles. Each eye has six different eye muscles, and with 390 00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:16.440 concussion and dizziness and headaches, a lot of times one of these eye muscles 391 00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:22.320 is weak. So what we have to do are certain eye exercises, but 392 00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.559 very carefully because if you overdo the eye exercise, it could make you worse, 393 00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:30.360 so we have to be very careful. But we could do eye exercises 394 00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:37.559 to strengthen these eye muscles, to get them balanced from left and right, 395 00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:43.360 to reduce symptoms of concussion traumatic brain injury and get rid of headaches and dizziness 396 00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:47.760 and these balanced problems and tonitis and these weird feelings there. Right, But 397 00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:52.119 we have to figure out what's wrong with the eyes. So the best test 398 00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:57.760 for that is called a v and video and astography, and we do all 399 00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:01.639 these different eye tests and see how you spond to light and head movements and 400 00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:06.719 fast eye movements and slow eye movements and movements left and movements right, and 401 00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:09.599 movements up and movements down, and so we do all these different eye movements 402 00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:14.639 to evaluate the different muscles and the different areas of the brain. That test 403 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:17.440 is also normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people that sign 404 00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:22.280 up for that, you could get that as well for only twenty one dollars. 405 00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:25.920 So you could do the VNGIE test for twenty one dollars. You could 406 00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:30.519 do the one on one neurologic evaluation for twenty one dollars, and you could 407 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:36.320 do the q EG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. Or you could 408 00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:38.880 just pick and choose one or the other and just kind of see, you 409 00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:43.960 know one if one of them is more specific to what you have going on, 410 00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:45.360 we could do that as well. But if you want to do all 411 00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:47.679 three, all you got to be is one of the first seven people. 412 00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:52.880 So I'll give you the number again six four six two two one six seven 413 00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:58.840 three eight. You can call or text or email info at Kaplan brain embody 414 00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:02.320 dot com. That's going to help with the dizziness. So we got to 415 00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:08.679 figure out where that's coming from. Sometimes you have multiple sclerosis. That eye 416 00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:15.760 tests will tell us about what's called internuclear ophthalma pollagia. That's when one eye 417 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:19.480 will go one direction and then the other eye gets stuck. All right, 418 00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:24.440 So that's a really good test for that. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease. 419 00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:29.280 That's where the body's attacking the brain. But that can cause headaches, 420 00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:36.840 tonitis, dizziness. Different autoimmune diseases include hashimotos which is the thyroid ciliac which 421 00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:43.039 is in the gut. Psoriasis can affect the hair or the skin. Rheumatoid 422 00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:46.639 arthritis can affect the joints, show brains, can be dry eyes, dry 423 00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:52.679 mouth, dry skin. So there's all different types lupus, you get this 424 00:37:52.840 --> 00:38:00.280 butterfly rash on your face, all different types of autoimmune disease, fibromyality jack 425 00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:07.079 causes a lot of pain. But with the autoimmune disease, cure is the 426 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:12.239 diet and the biggest foods to avoid from autimmune disease are dairy, gluten, 427 00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:24.639 corn, soy, coffee. Those are the big autoimmune foods to avoid if 428 00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:30.000 you have any of those conditions. More when we come back from the break, 429 00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:35.320 if you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, 430 00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:39.000 sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, 431 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:44.159 vision, headaches, brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize 432 00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:47.719 your human potential and prevent future diseases that this is the show for you. 433 00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.840 Don't miss Boost your brain power with doctor Eric Kaplan and you will learn natural, 434 00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:58.599 integrative, and holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, 435 00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:05.159 Parkinson's stroke, autism, add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, 436 00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:09.280 vertigo, migraines, for posture pain, TBI, skin and digestive problems. 437 00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:14.400 Doctor Kaplan is most famous for getting to the root cause of a wide variety 438 00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:19.159 of brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky 439 00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:22.840 surgeries.

Welcome back to boost your brain power. I'm your host, 442 00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:39.920 doctor Eric Kaplan. We were just talking about dizziness and how to get 443 00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:44.719 to the root cause of the dizziness. Once you get to the root cause, 444 00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:47.280 you could figure out what to do. You know, it's the crystals 445 00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:52.559 we just do that repositioning maneuver. If it's the autonomic and the pots, 446 00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:58.039 we do that thing with a table where we go from lying and slowly raise 447 00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:02.599 it doing brain exercises. If it's the eyes, we might have to do 448 00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:07.960 some eye exercises. If it's the wax, we might have to take out 449 00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:13.360 the wax. If it's blood flow, we might have to increase blood flow. 450 00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:20.320 It's autoimmune disease, we might have to change your diet. But we 451 00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:22.840 have to do the test to figure out where the dizziness is coming from. 452 00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:30.039 Same thing with headaches. There's all different types of headaches. You can have 453 00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:35.840 a sinus headache. There's four sinus points. You got. Right above your 454 00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:39.840 eyebrows are two points, and then right below your eyes to the side of 455 00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:45.960 your nose are another two points. So if you have sinus issues, we 456 00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:49.239 might have to do like a little massage. We might have to do some 457 00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:55.679 drainage. We might have to do some homeopathic remedies. For allergies, we 458 00:40:55.840 --> 00:41:00.599 might have to do a Nettie pot. We got to figure out the best 459 00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:06.840 way to figure how to reduce these sinus build ups. Okay, but it's 460 00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:09.960 usually pretty easy to do in a natural way, you might have a tension 461 00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:15.280 headache. At tension headache is usually a band around your head. That's gonna 462 00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:19.679 be when you're in stress mode. That's gonna be you know what we were 463 00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:23.400 talking about with the cortisol, the sympathetic nervous system, the increase in blood 464 00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:28.960 pressure. You're always worried and stressed and anxious, so that we have to 465 00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:36.760 calm down the nervous system by doing functional neurologic exercises through a process called neuroplasticity 466 00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:42.000 and rewire your brain to get you out of stress mode. That is for 467 00:41:42.280 --> 00:41:46.719 tension headaches. Then you can have stress headaches that's going to be more in 468 00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:52.440 the back where you're gonna pull, Like the muscles are really tight, so 469 00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:58.400 because you're all stressed out, your shoulders are tie. You carry all this 470 00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:05.559 tension pulls on the back of your head and oxyput in skull and creating that 471 00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:14.119 stress headache there as well. Then you have cluster headaches. Cluster headaches where 472 00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:21.800 it's like every single day for days and weeks and over, this scruciating headache. 473 00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.039 That's for people who you know, partake in a lot of these bad 474 00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:32.920 things like smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol and so many prescription medications and drugs and 475 00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:37.800 all this abuse. They're gonna get cluster headaches, so that you got to 476 00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:40.519 change your bad habits. You might have to you know, quit smoking or 477 00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:45.480 quit alcohol, or quit drugs or cut down on some of your prescriptions. 478 00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:51.000 He's get these cluster headaches. Those are really bad. Your body's just saying, 479 00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:53.360 I gotta get rid of all these toxins are overloading me. You've got 480 00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:58.280 to stop, but you're not giving me any time to detox and get rid 481 00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:00.920 of this bad stuff. Those are the cluster headaches, so's you got to 482 00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:05.239 do that at home. Those are tough, but they're really painful. So 483 00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:07.039 sometimes if you go through those cluster headaches, that motivates you to get on 484 00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:14.199 track there. Then you get a migraine headaches. Migrain headaches are that sharp 485 00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:21.039 pain behind the back of your eye. Those are really intense. You become 486 00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:25.159 light sensitive, you become noise sensitive. If you want to just go in 487 00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:30.280 a dark room and you know, go into the covers and not do anything 488 00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:35.199 and not speak to anybody and take away all stimulation, you might get nauseous, 489 00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:38.920 you might vomit, even if it's really intense. That's a migraine usually 490 00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:43.400 on one side of the head, usually will only curve for a day, 491 00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:49.000 twenty four hours or something like that. Those are really intention You might get 492 00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:54.760 an aura like some sort of light flashing before or some sort of stimulation or 493 00:43:54.920 --> 00:44:00.920 visual stuff thing that's letting you know up this migraine's about to come. For 494 00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:07.559 that, we have this really cool technique, insulfation technique where I blow air 495 00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:12.320 into the ear. This thing's amazing. People come in ten out of ten 496 00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:16.400 headache, light sensitivity, nausea, they need sunglasses, ear plugs, they're 497 00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:20.400 throwing up in the bathroom. And we do this technique where we blow this 498 00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:25.519 little air into the side of the migraine headache, and within a minute it 499 00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:30.119 gets rid of a migraine on the spot. Now it has to be during 500 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:34.719 a migraine. It's not a preventative measure. A preventative measure. We got 501 00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:37.599 to do a lot of things. But if you have a migraine on the 502 00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:39.159 spot, you just call one of my offices. You just come right in. 503 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:43.559 Literally takes a minute. We get rid of migraine on the spot, 504 00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:46.679 so you don't have to suffer for twenty four hours in a dark room not 505 00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:52.480 being able to do anything throwing up nauseous, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity. 506 00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:57.280 Those can ruin your life. People gotta call out work and they can't do 507 00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:00.599 anything. So you know, light, we just took to where of those 508 00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:04.199 on the spot, and you might have to suffer getting to the office, 509 00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:07.119 but it's worth it because then you have the rest of your day degree. 510 00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:12.119 Right, So those are migraine headaches. So for those, we got to 511 00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:14.840 get to the root cause. We usually have to do a lot of things 512 00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:17.920 to get to the root cause. Might have to increase water intake, improve 513 00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:23.159 nutrition, or to stress, get better physical exercise. Look at your blood 514 00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:27.239 work. See if you're anemic. You know, we gotta do a whole 515 00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:30.039 protocol. Look at the thyroid. You know, we gotta for the migraines. 516 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:34.760 We usually got to do a whole overall of your whole health. But 517 00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:38.440 it all can be done. So that's why these evaluations are so important to 518 00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:44.280 get to the root cause of the problems rather than just treating with botox. 519 00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:49.719 And you know, well these harmful medications that you know cost stuff you don't 520 00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:53.039 even realize internally, So you know, don't come to me if you just 521 00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:59.840 want the prescription for the headache medication or the tonighties or the dizziness medication. 522 00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:05.480 I am not the doctor that writes prescription medication. I am a functional neurologist, 523 00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:08.400 very different than a medical neurologist. So I'm not going to do drugs. 524 00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:10.880 I'm not going to do surgeries. But I'm going to come up with 525 00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:16.800 natural, holistic, and integrative ways to come up with your problems and the 526 00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:22.280 best solutions, all right. So it's not about just diagnosing where the problems 527 00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:24.559 are coming from with all the tests, but the most important thing is coming 528 00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:29.880 up with the solutions. So the test just tell us what's wrong, but 529 00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:34.480 the best part is the solutions, and they're usually pretty easy and simple and 530 00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:37.480 stuff that you could do at home. But you just got to be committed 531 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:42.920 to working on yourself. You know, the human body is amazing at healing 532 00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:45.679 on its own, but you just have to put in the work and effort. 533 00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:49.440 So nobody's going to do it for you. So you might have to 534 00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:53.119 change some bad habits, and you know, you might have to do some 535 00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:59.559 hard work to get results. But if you really want to fix all these 536 00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:04.639 issues, use you have to put in the work, all right, And 537 00:47:04.840 --> 00:47:08.079 it's better to prevent big problems. So sometimes when you get symptoms like Toniti's 538 00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:14.039 or headaches or dizziness, it's the brain telling you, hey, we got 539 00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:16.920 to fix these health problems. So if you're ready to take control of your 540 00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:22.599 health, you want to sign up for the qEEG brain mapping that's going to 541 00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:24.800 tell us, hey, do you have anxiety? Do you have sleeping problems? 542 00:47:25.079 --> 00:47:30.119 Do you have memory problems? You have white matter inflammation in the brain. 543 00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:34.800 Do you have intestinal inflammation? Do you have a thyroid problem. Do 544 00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:42.079 you have a problem with your neurotransmitters dopamine, acetocline nor upper nephrin. Do 545 00:47:42.199 --> 00:47:45.639 you have troubles with focus? Do you have troubles with attention? Do you 546 00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:49.880 have troubles shifting tasks? Do you have confusion? Do you have brain fund 547 00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:53.119 do you have sleep deprivation? Do you have insomn do you have depression? 548 00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:58.440 Anxiety? It literally tells us all these things. That test is normally five 549 00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:00.840 hundred dollars, but if you sign up one of the first time people, 550 00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:05.239 you can get it for twenty one dollars. Then you should also sign up 551 00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:08.360 for the one on one neurologic evaluation with me, we're gonna check your blood 552 00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:12.639 pressure, your pulse, Listen to your heart, your gut, your lungs. 553 00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:15.000 I'm gonna check out your balance, your eyes, your ears, your 554 00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:21.480 reflexes, your posture, your alignment, your memory. That's forty five minutes 555 00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:24.320 doing all these different tests. That's also normally five hundred dollars, but if 556 00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:29.239 you're one of those first seven people, you could get that test as well 557 00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:34.360 for only twenty one dollars. The third test is the QE, sorry is 558 00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:37.920 the VNG. That's the eye test. So this is really good people with 559 00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:42.400 imbalances of the left and the right brain because it'll tell us as one side 560 00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:46.199 working more than the other. So people with you know, bipolarmatic to press 561 00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:52.039 and when there's these obviously sometimes up and sometimes low. The VNG is the 562 00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:55.440 best test for that. If you've had a traumatic brain injury, concussion, 563 00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:00.159 any eye problems, any of the stuff we told Boke about today, the 564 00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:05.480 v is the best test. That's the eye test. That's also normally five 565 00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:07.800 hundred dollars, but if you're one of the first seven people, you could 566 00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:12.760 get that for only twenty one dollars as well. You can sign up for 567 00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:17.039 all three. The other thing we're doing is a seminar series. We have 568 00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:22.559 different seminar series coming up. There's four different ones. The next one is 569 00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:29.840 on April twenty six, that's on the natural Ways to reduce inflammation. The 570 00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:32.599 one in May, the last week in May thirty first, it's always the 571 00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:37.480 last week, the last Wednesday of each week. So the one in May 572 00:49:38.159 --> 00:49:45.039 is going to be on mastering nutrition. All the healthy foods that you need 573 00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:50.320 to eat, all the bad foods you need to avoid, what to look 574 00:49:50.360 --> 00:49:53.039 out for, how to read the labels properly, you know what type of 575 00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:57.880 diet and one to eat and how to eat, and how to combine different 576 00:49:58.039 --> 00:50:00.719 foods, and one to drink water and reference to eat. So there's a 577 00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:06.559 lot of different nutritional components. That's the one in May. In June it's 578 00:50:06.599 --> 00:50:10.239 gonna be memory brain exercises.

And we're gonna recover everything with the nutrition and the inflammation and all 585 00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:51.239 the brain exercise. So it's gonna get all all in one, all right. 586 00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:55.840 Each seminar is one hundred dollars. It's really good. You have food 587 00:50:55.960 --> 00:51:02.360 there, we have drinks, we have massages, all included in the price, 588 00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:06.239 so it's not just for the seminar, but you get free massage, 589 00:51:06.239 --> 00:51:09.320 you're gonna get free cold laser therapy, free food, free drinks, free 590 00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:14.599 snacks, free giveaways, free books, you know, all these different stuff. 591 00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:16.920 It's all for one hundred dollars each.
