The following is a paid podcast. iHeartRadio's hosting of this podcast constitutes neither an

boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. Lately,
I've been seeing a lot of patients with tenitis or ringing in the ears.
So with ringing in the ears, it's usually caused by an overactive nervous system,
so the brain is overfiring. So the main purpose of therapy is to
calm down the brain so the brain's not overactive. So we see a lot
of people with tenitis or tendis that have anxiety. They might also have difficulty
sleeping. They might have some pain or headaches or dizziness. We're going to
go over all that stuff today. So one of the big causes of tenitis
is listening to loud music, loud sounds. People who go to concerts,
they damage their hair cells. People who you know, are working the subway
all the screeching, or they work with jackhammers, or you know something where
there's a lot of loud noises, You're going to damage your hair cells and
cause tonitis. And that is very difficult to reverse, so you have to
do your best not to listen to too loud of sounds. So right now
people everyone's listening to headphones and they're blasting their music and it's too much.
And you go at home and you get surround sound, and you go to
movie theaters and it's so loud, and you go to concerts and you know,
all these loud sounds are literally damaging your hair cells. So keep it
as low as possible, don't keep raising up the volume, keep it low
and try and make your ears work harder, sort of like exercising your ears
to listen to the lowest possible music and still be able to hear it,
and then you increase you're hearing abilities there in addition to reducing chances of tonitis.
So with the headphones also, you know it's you've got to stay away
from those AirPods, the ones that are bluetooth. Then there's no wire connected,
so those probably have a little bit more radiation and that's right next to
your brain. So I personally want to decrease the amount of radiation my brain
is getting. So even if they tell you it's safe, you know you
want to decrease any radiation If possible, so you're only allowed a certain amount
your entire life, so use it when you really need it. So if
it's not necessary, don't radiate your brain. Start to use wire headphones,
you speaker phone. Don't hold your phone next to your ear. You know,
if you're at home, your Wifi's on and you're holding your phone next
to your ear with the five G signal, you're literally microwaving your brain.
You got to be careful, you know, would you put your brain in
a microwave? You know, I hope not. You know, I don't
even want to stay close to microwave, so I always tell people if they're
using a microwave, stay away from it too. You don't want to put
your head right next to microwave for three minutes and then open up the door.
It's like, stay far away. That's radiation, right, and it's
best not to use a microwave at all. It alters the food and water,
so you're not getting the same nutritional value, so try and stay away
from the microwave. You can get really fast heat with a small toaster of
and that you just put on baker broil. It works very quick, you
know, maybe it's five minutes instead of three minutes. So store all your
food and glass as opposed to plastic. Then you can stick to glass container
or the even the stainless steel straight is straight into the little toaster oven and
heat up food that way if you want to do an alternative to microwave.
All right, So with tonitis, there's also a neurological condition called Minyear's disease,
So sometimes people do have toenitis with min Year's disease. It's a neurological
disorder. It's not very common and in my opinion, it's overdiagnosed, but
it does exist. In addition to tenitis, you're going to have dizziness or
vertigo. In addition to the tonitis and vertigo, with Minyear's disease, you're
also o to have hearing loss, and the hearing loss is in a low
tone. Okay, so not every tonitis is many years, but if you
have tonitis, if you have vertigo, if you have low tone hearing loss,
then it's definitely possible. One of the things to do is to decrease
salt intake. So a lot of foods are overloaded with salt. Even bread
has tons of salt. Catch up tons of salt all these dressings, tons
of salt, soy sauces and kariaki sauces and barbecue sauces and honey mustard sauces
and all these sauces and things that people use for the food, and you
get at the restaurant loaded with salt. So if you have man years disease,
you definitely want to bring down that salt. It'll make a big difference.
Increase your water intake, right, and then calm down the overactive nervous
system. That is the most important thing is to calm down the overactive nervous
system, all right, Now, what else can cause tonitis? Sometimes it's
a lot of earwax. You got to be careful using those Q tips.
You know, the human body is perfectly designed, so there's really nothing supposed
to go in your ear that is smaller than your pinky of your hand,
and Q tips are much smaller than the pinky of your hand. And if
you put the Q tips in your ear, you could actually push wax in
and cause your own problems. So if you've probably compacted too much wax in
your ear, you could go to a doctor. They have these little little
instruments like these little metal hooks they just pull out the wax. You can
do it at home with ear candling. You could get that at a local
pharmacy where you take your own wax out. You can dissolve it with certain
fluids. So you know, you can find stuff at the store to help
with your own wax. But don't use the Q tip and think you're going
to be able to pull out all this extra wax there. So the extra
wax can definitely cause tenitis, so you gotta be aware of that as well.
All right, So what do we do to help the overactive nervous system?
So the overactive nervous system usually comes from your sympathetic nervous system. The
sympathetic nervous system increases stress, cortisol, your heartbeat increases, your blood pressure
increases. It might cause difficulty with sleep or digestion. That's an increase in
your sympathetic nerves a system we call that the fight, flight or freeze.
So if you're in the fight or flight mode, then your brain is going
to be overactive. Blood pressure is going to increase, heart rates going to
increase, respirations gonna increase, You're going to overactivate your muscles, get more
tightness, more pain, not enough oxygen into the brain, the brain's gonna
start getting overfired, inflamed, and tonitis can result. So we have to
calm down the brain. You can calm down the brain by stimulating your vegas
nerve. There's a few ways to increase stimulation to the vegas nerve. One
is gargling, and you could gargle really intensely, really loud, for thirty
seconds, three times a day. You can also do the gag reflex.
All doctors learn in school when we're going through these cranial nerves that the gag
reflex activates cranial nerves nine and ten. Cranial nine is called the glosso pharyngeal,
and cranial ten it's called the vegas nerve. So everybody's taught that in
school that the gag reflex stimulates these nerves that are linked to the parasympathetic nervous
system. However, very few doctors are using it as therapy. What I
do as a functional neurologist is figure out the areas that are not working properly
and come up with proven ways through neuroscience that we know activate those weak areas.
So it's not rocket science. Just like you could go to a physical
therapist to strengthen a weak muscle. You can also go to a functional neurologish
to strengthen a weak area of your brain. There's not a lot of functional
neurologists in the world, but there are everywhere you know, in every state,
in not every single country, but pretty much close to at least every
country, So there are all over the world. So if you have friends
or family that are looking for a functional neurologist, let me know. I
can hook you up with somebody you know in a different area or a different
country. But a functional neurologist is going to figure out where the weak areas
of the brain and do neurologic exercises to strengthen those areas. Might be an
eye exercise, it might be a smell or a sound, or it might
be a light, or it might be a movement, or it might be
a memory exercise or a balance exercise, or a breathing exercise, or a
posture exercise or coordination exercise or working on reaction time, or you know,
doing things only on one side and spinning in a chair and using cold laser
therapy and doing proful nerves stimulators and doing neurosensory integrators and interactive metronomes. There's
a wide variety of therapies that can be done to stimulate those weak areas,
but the key is to figure out where those weak areas are. The best
test to figure out where the weakest areas are in the brain, it's called
a q EG brain mapping. A qEEG brain mapping. All you have to
do is where a cap, and the cap has different electrodes attached to it
that are going to find the location of the areas of the brain that are
not functioning at optimal levels. And after it finds the areas of the brain
that are not functioning at optimal levels, then we could locate the weak areas
and teach you how to stimulate those weak areas in a natural way, without
any drugs, without any surgery, integrating the whole brain and body in a
holistic way. This q EG brain mapping is normally five hundred dollars, but
we're going to do a special For the first seven people that call, text
or email, you could get the entire five hundred dollars QEG brain mapping for
only twenty one dollars. All you have to do is call or text six

just leave a message that you want to be one of the first seven
people to take advantage of the q EEG brain mapping, which is normally five
hundred dollars, but you want to get it for only twenty one dollars.

welcome back to boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan.
We were just talking about tonitis ringing in the ears. You get it
from the year's disease. You're gonna get it from listening to loud music,
loud sounds in your headphones, if your workspace has really loud sounds, get
it from impacted earwax. Be careful with the Q tips, and you get
it from the overactive nervous system stress mode increased cord assault, which is the
stress homemone overactive sympathetic nervous system. We talked about stimulating your vagus nerve through
guard going really intensely for thirty seconds, three times a day, and the
gag reflex. Only have to do that once. It's very powerful. Do
not do the gag reflex if you do have a history of bolimia or anorex
here or eating disorder, eating disorders, So we don't want to trigger any
bad processes or thoughts by doing some of these brain exercises. So other than
that, though, go for it. Don't go too far back where you
cause a vomit, but just go far enough back to elicit a reflex where
you just get a little like a gag. All right, that's very good
for the vegas nerve. Making loud, deep noises with the back of your
throat, anything with the back of your throat's gonna be good. It's going
to help the vaguest nerve. Why people do that, Like meditation noises,
those really help to calm the nervous system. Now, now, another thing
that we do in the all for tenitis, it's called surround inhibition. Surround
inhibition is when we work together to figure out the exact sound of the tenitis
that you hear, because it might be allowed high tone, it might be
a low tone, a hissing sound, it might be different types of noises.
So we figure out what the noise is that you hear because it's an
overactive nervous system, and then we get that noise and I put it next
to your ear at the same time doing neurologic exercises that I've discovered through either
the QEG brain mapping or my neurologic evaluation, which are appropriate for you to
do because it's going to activate your brain in a certain area that's going to
turn off the tenitis. So you do the exact sound of the teninitis and
we do a brain exercise at the same time. It's called surround inhibition,
turning off that sound that one little town so you don't hear that tone anymore,
and then you don't suffer from the tonitus that we have to do over
and over and over again. Sometimes all patients do four treatments in a day
where they do one treatment and then rest a little bit, then they do
another treatment, then they rest a little bit, another treatment. It's a
brain boot camp, but it works very well. They're called intensive therapies and
do very well with tonitis because that's something you have to be pretty aggressive with
doing these neurologic exercises to turn off these bad sounds. And the best way
to figure out where it's coming from is that qEEG brain mapping that I was
talking about before the first break. So hopefully you've called emails signed up to
be one of those first seven people for the q EG brain mapping. All
right. So another thing that we talked about, especially with manyears disease is
dizziness. So times you can get ringing in the ears and dizziness. Also
sometimes you can just get ringing in the ears and sometimes you could just get
dizziness. With Manyear's disease, we said, you're gonna get the ringing in
the ears, the tonitis, you're gonna get the dizziness, and you're gonna
get the low tone hearing loss. All right. Now, sometimes you might
only have dizziness. There's all different types of dizziness. You could get dizziness
from what's called POTS, POTS positional or the static tachycardia syndrome. We see
a lot of patients with that in the office. It comes from your autonomic
nervous system disautonomia. So when we have patients with disautonomia, they might suffer
from POTS as well. These are the patients that when they get up quickly,
get very light headed and might get dizzy and have some balance problems.
So you go usually from a lying position to a standing or a seated position
to a standing If you go too quickly, then you get all lightheaded,
if you get thrown off. That comes from pots. What's supposed to happen
is that when you go from the lying position to the standing position, your
blood pressure is supposed to increase. If the blood pressure does not increase to
squeeze that blood and oxygen into the brain to give you that odd energy that
you need, then the heart says, oh, the blood pressure didn't increase,
I a better increase my pulse, my heart rate. It's called tach
acardia increase heart rate, and that's going to happen when you go from a
lying to standing. If you have pots, your heart rate is going to
increase, usually over twenty beats per minute. That's to be diagnosed with pots.
If you do have pots, then you have an issue in your autonomic
nervous system. So just like you can exercise muscles, you can exercise your
autonomic nervous system. But we have to figure out is that the cause of
your dizziness. If that's the cause, then the treatment is pretty cool.
One of the treatments we do is where I have this table that is flat
down and then I press this hydraulic button and it lifts you up a little
bit. And then I do a little brain exercise and I put your pulse
socks on, so I'm measuring your heart rate the whole time, making sure
it doesn't go up twenty beats per minute. And I do this at different
levels, and it might take six, seven, eight different levels, because
I might have to do it really slow to make sure that heart rate doesn't
increase. But as I get the brain better through or plasticity, which is
rewiring the brain and helping with the autonomic nervous system, we can actually speed
up the table so we can go faster, and then the POTS symptoms decrease
where you don't get dizzy when you get up from lying down. We might
have to do these therapies over and over and over again for tempt to work.
They're usually not just going to work in one therapy sashion, but if
we do it over and over again, we're going to create change very quickly.
That's for dizziness that can come from POTS, which is an autonomic nervous
system dysfunction. Another CAUD cause of dizziness is called BPPV benign paroximal position overtigo,
so What this is is where you have crystals in the ear b PPV
crystals in the inner ear. These crystals are in canals that they shouldn't be
and it makes you feel like you're moving when you're not. That's called vertigo,
where you feel like you're spinning. With BPPV, you're going to get
the spinning sensation when you're in bed, lying down, or turning over,
moving your head in different positions. The most common is turning over in bed.
So if you are on one side and you turn over quick to the
other side and all of a sudden you get vertigo where the whole room is
spinning, then you most likely have BPPV. That's about twenty five percent of
my vertigo patients that I see. It's a big portion of them. And
the good news is it's the easiest one to fix. You could fix it
in just a few minutes by doing this Epply's repositioning maneuver and you just come
into the office and I tilt your head in these certain angles to pour the
crystals out of the area whether they're not going to cause disruption anymore. So
that's moving the crystals. It's very easy to fix if done properly this maneuver,
and it's literally only one visit. That one is the easiest one to
fix. It only takes one visit and it only takes a few minutes.
But it's really intense when it happens. So if you ever have that,
or know anyone who has that, just tell them to call my office and
we could definitely fix that really quickly. There's six different canals. We just
got to figure out which canal the crystals are in and then pour it out
of the canal. That's all pretty simple, BPPV. That's another cause of
dis Okay, another cause of dizziness comes from an area of your brain called
your cerebellum. Your cerebellum has more neurons in it than the whole brain put
together. It means little brain. It kind of sits in the back of
your head there. It's a tiny little pocket, but it's really complicated.
And that's the area the brain that gets affected when you drink alcohol. So
right, so, people when they drink alcohol, they get dizzy, get
the spins, they can't walk, they slur their speech. So if your
cerebellum is not working properly, that can cause dizziness as well, and there's
ways to exercise the cerebellum. So I might even spend people in a rotational
chair that I have to stimulate the cerebellum. Or do these infinity symbols in
the air on one side, or I might have them. One could try
this at home. Take your left leg, draw clockwise circles, and then
at the same time, with your left hand draw the number six, so
it's clockwise circles with your left leg in the air, and then draw the
number six in the air with your left hand. Make sure you don't reverse
it. So that's going to help an exercise to stimulate that cerebellum on the
left side. It's right on the right side. If one side is a
lot harder than you do extra reps on that weaker side. All right,
that's for the cerebellum, and that helps with certain types of dizzy days.
We're going to continue this conversation when we come back from the break. Don't

power. I am your host, Doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about the
different types of dizziness. You could get it from me years syndrome. You
could get it from BPPV crystals in the inner ear. You could get it
from the cerebellum. So that's people who you know. We said before the
break, we're talking about how alcohol affects that area, the cerebellum. So
when the police do those tests to check your sobriety, that's checking your cerebellum.
And we do that in the office. Actually, so oh look over
here, follow my finger, and I'm looking for anastagmus if you're having a
stagmus that might be the cause of your dizziness, might be influenced by your
cerebellum or we have you close your eyes and touch your finger to your nose,
so you could try that at home. Close your eyes slowly, you
touch your finger to your nose. If you miss your nose, you might
have a problem in your cerebellum. Or balancing on one leg. You can't
stand on one leg, you might have a problem in your cerebellum. If
you can't balance on your right leg, you probably have a problem with your
rights the cerebellum. And if you can't balance on your left leg, you
probably have a problem with your left cerebellum. If you can't touch your right
hand to your nose properly and you can't stand on your right leg, that
increases your chances of a cerebellar problem. And then if you have the stagmust
also that also increases. So you kind of got to do a full neurological
evaluation. We can't base it on one test, but we do these tests
in the office, these full neurological evaluation to come to the root cause of
the tonitis or the dizziness. Or headaches or whatever it is. We're gonna
go over headaches as well, but we want to do a complete neurologic evaluation.
We want to you know, check your blood pressure and check your oxygen
levels and your balance, and your coordination and your hearing, and you know
your sensitivities to lights and sounds and movements. So I'm going to do a
full neurological evaluation. I have two offices. One office is in New York
City in the West Village, Office six, Avenuum Bleaker. And then I
have office in Emerson, New Jersey. That's in Bergen County, northern part
of New Jersey. We do these full neurological valuations. We also check for
your memory, make sure you don't have any chances of dementia or Alzheimer's.
We also check out to make sure your balance is good, that you're not
gonna have any falls. We want to prevent that. Even check out your
posture, your alignment, listen to your lungs and your heart and your gutse
about forty five minutes. It's normally five hundred dollars, but we're gonna do
a special today. If you want a complete neurological evaluation where I'd also do
a physical and also even review blood work if you've had that done recently.
It's normally five hundred dollars to spend about forty five minutes in my office doing
all these tests, but we're gonna do a special for the first seven people
that call. You can get the complete neurological valuation and one on one console
with me to tell me about your three and any health concerns that you have,
so we could come up with a natural, holistic and integrative way without
any drugs or surgery to get you to heal quickest, function best, feel
best and live a better quality of life forty five minutes. Normally five hundred
dollars, but for the first seven people you can get it for only twenty
one dollars. All you have to do is call or text six four six
two to one six seven three eight, or you can email info at Kaplan
Brain embody dot com. That's to get a one on one evaluation at one
of my offices, or if you're really far, you could do it over
zoom as well, and that works out very well. Our patients can do
it from their homes and the convenience out of lunch break or something like that.
So you could do my New York office, my New Jersey office,
or even over zoom. All you have to do is be one of first
seven people to call or text or email and you could get the entire five
hundred dollars neurological evaluation for only twenty one dollars. The phone number again is
six four six two two one six seven three eight. You can call or
text that number if you want to do email you email info at Kaplan,
brain, embody dot com. If you want to sign up for both,
you could do that. You could do the twenty one dollar QEG brain mapping
and the twenty one dollar one on one neurological evaluation with me at one of
my offices for only twenty one dollars. And that's the way we could figure
out where's the tonight is coming from, where is the dizziness coming from,
where's the headaches coming from? So with dizziness, you know there's lots of
different causes, so we really have to do a thorough evaluation to figure out
where that coming from. Sometimes it is a autonomic dysfunction, with autoimmune dysfunction
meaning because the brain's overactive, so is the immune system, and you can
even have viruses and bacteria that start to leave the gut area because of all
the inflammation and exit into the bloodstream. And if there's too much inflammation in
the brain, you can also get a leaky brain and these viruses and bacteria
can start to attack your brain. That can cause dizziness. Really bad case
scenario is also a tumor. There's something called an acoustic neuroma for that.
We need imaging to see if we have that, but that can cause dizziness.
You know, stress people in stress mode can cause dizziness. A big
one that we see, especially after concussions head injuries are the eyes where the
eyes are messed up, maybe like one eyes a little bit higher than the
other, or the eyes don't converge properly, they don't come in together,
or they don't diverge properly, or one pupil size is bigger than the other,
or they don't follow or track a moving object properly, or they have
difficulty reading, or they can't move their eyes fast, or they can't their
head and eyes don't move together. So when they're in a car or something,
or on a boat or that's called Maldday debarkment syndrome. So that's another
cause of dizziness. It's called seasickness where you know the environments moving, but
then the eyes and the head can compensate properly the Malday debarkment syndrome. So
we have to do a lot of eye exercises for these people. So concussion
people, yes, they need a lot of eye exercises, but they need
to do the appropriate eye exercises. So the best test for that is called
a V So if you've ever had a concussion and I don't care even the
concussion was twenty years ago, that could affect your dizziness today, that could
affect your headaches today, that can affect your tonight is today. I'm a
co author on a book. It's called Concussion Discussions. You can get it
on Concussion discussions dot com. But I talk about all the research is showing
that you can hit your head and have symptoms years later. It doesn't always
have to be right away, but a lot of patients we see have concussion
traumatic brain injury and they have dizziness, and we have to do these eye
exercises. There's lots of eye exercise, there's pursuits and cause and optokinetics and
vestibular ocular exercises. So there's all these exercises convergence, brock strings, divergence
that we could do to strengthen the weak eye muscles. Just like you have
muscles, you know, like your biceps and your triceps in your arms,
your eyes have muscles. Each eye has six different eye muscles, and with
concussion and dizziness and headaches, a lot of times one of these eye muscles
is weak. So what we have to do are certain eye exercises, but
very carefully because if you overdo the eye exercise, it could make you worse,
so we have to be very careful. But we could do eye exercises
to strengthen these eye muscles, to get them balanced from left and right,
to reduce symptoms of concussion traumatic brain injury and get rid of headaches and dizziness
and these balanced problems and tonitis and these weird feelings there. Right, But
we have to figure out what's wrong with the eyes. So the best test
for that is called a v and video and astography, and we do all
these different eye tests and see how you spond to light and head movements and
fast eye movements and slow eye movements and movements left and movements right, and
movements up and movements down, and so we do all these different eye movements
to evaluate the different muscles and the different areas of the brain. That test
is also normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people that sign
up for that, you could get that as well for only twenty one dollars.
So you could do the VNGIE test for twenty one dollars. You could
do the one on one neurologic evaluation for twenty one dollars, and you could
do the q EG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. Or you could
just pick and choose one or the other and just kind of see, you
know one if one of them is more specific to what you have going on,
we could do that as well. But if you want to do all
three, all you got to be is one of the first seven people.
So I'll give you the number again six four six two two one six seven
three eight. You can call or text or email info at Kaplan brain embody
dot com. That's going to help with the dizziness. So we got to
figure out where that's coming from. Sometimes you have multiple sclerosis. That eye
tests will tell us about what's called internuclear ophthalma pollagia. That's when one eye
will go one direction and then the other eye gets stuck. All right,
So that's a really good test for that. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease.
That's where the body's attacking the brain. But that can cause headaches,
tonitis, dizziness. Different autoimmune diseases include hashimotos which is the thyroid ciliac which
is in the gut. Psoriasis can affect the hair or the skin. Rheumatoid
arthritis can affect the joints, show brains, can be dry eyes, dry
mouth, dry skin. So there's all different types lupus, you get this
butterfly rash on your face, all different types of autoimmune disease, fibromyality jack
causes a lot of pain. But with the autoimmune disease, cure is the
diet and the biggest foods to avoid from autimmune disease are dairy, gluten,
corn, soy, coffee. Those are the big autoimmune foods to avoid if
you have any of those conditions. More when we come back from the break,
if you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus,
sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance,
vision, headaches, brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize
your human potential and prevent future diseases that this is the show for you.

doctor Eric Kaplan. We were just talking about dizziness and how to get
to the root cause of the dizziness. Once you get to the root cause,
you could figure out what to do. You know, it's the crystals
we just do that repositioning maneuver. If it's the autonomic and the pots,
we do that thing with a table where we go from lying and slowly raise
it doing brain exercises. If it's the eyes, we might have to do
some eye exercises. If it's the wax, we might have to take out
the wax. If it's blood flow, we might have to increase blood flow.
It's autoimmune disease, we might have to change your diet. But we
have to do the test to figure out where the dizziness is coming from.
Same thing with headaches. There's all different types of headaches. You can have
a sinus headache. There's four sinus points. You got. Right above your
eyebrows are two points, and then right below your eyes to the side of
your nose are another two points. So if you have sinus issues, we
might have to do like a little massage. We might have to do some
drainage. We might have to do some homeopathic remedies. For allergies, we
might have to do a Nettie pot. We got to figure out the best
way to figure how to reduce these sinus build ups. Okay, but it's
usually pretty easy to do in a natural way, you might have a tension
headache. At tension headache is usually a band around your head. That's gonna
be when you're in stress mode. That's gonna be you know what we were
talking about with the cortisol, the sympathetic nervous system, the increase in blood
pressure. You're always worried and stressed and anxious, so that we have to
calm down the nervous system by doing functional neurologic exercises through a process called neuroplasticity
and rewire your brain to get you out of stress mode. That is for
tension headaches. Then you can have stress headaches that's going to be more in
the back where you're gonna pull, Like the muscles are really tight, so
because you're all stressed out, your shoulders are tie. You carry all this
tension pulls on the back of your head and oxyput in skull and creating that
stress headache there as well. Then you have cluster headaches. Cluster headaches where
it's like every single day for days and weeks and over, this scruciating headache.
That's for people who you know, partake in a lot of these bad
things like smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol and so many prescription medications and drugs and
all this abuse. They're gonna get cluster headaches, so that you got to
change your bad habits. You might have to you know, quit smoking or
quit alcohol, or quit drugs or cut down on some of your prescriptions.
He's get these cluster headaches. Those are really bad. Your body's just saying,
I gotta get rid of all these toxins are overloading me. You've got
to stop, but you're not giving me any time to detox and get rid
of this bad stuff. Those are the cluster headaches, so's you got to
do that at home. Those are tough, but they're really painful. So
sometimes if you go through those cluster headaches, that motivates you to get on
track there. Then you get a migraine headaches. Migrain headaches are that sharp
pain behind the back of your eye. Those are really intense. You become
light sensitive, you become noise sensitive. If you want to just go in
a dark room and you know, go into the covers and not do anything
and not speak to anybody and take away all stimulation, you might get nauseous,
you might vomit, even if it's really intense. That's a migraine usually
on one side of the head, usually will only curve for a day,
twenty four hours or something like that. Those are really intention You might get
an aura like some sort of light flashing before or some sort of stimulation or
visual stuff thing that's letting you know up this migraine's about to come. For
that, we have this really cool technique, insulfation technique where I blow air
into the ear. This thing's amazing. People come in ten out of ten
headache, light sensitivity, nausea, they need sunglasses, ear plugs, they're
throwing up in the bathroom. And we do this technique where we blow this
little air into the side of the migraine headache, and within a minute it
gets rid of a migraine on the spot. Now it has to be during
a migraine. It's not a preventative measure. A preventative measure. We got
to do a lot of things. But if you have a migraine on the
spot, you just call one of my offices. You just come right in.
Literally takes a minute. We get rid of migraine on the spot,
so you don't have to suffer for twenty four hours in a dark room not
being able to do anything throwing up nauseous, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity.
Those can ruin your life. People gotta call out work and they can't do
anything. So you know, light, we just took to where of those
on the spot, and you might have to suffer getting to the office,
but it's worth it because then you have the rest of your day degree.
Right, So those are migraine headaches. So for those, we got to
get to the root cause. We usually have to do a lot of things
to get to the root cause. Might have to increase water intake, improve
nutrition, or to stress, get better physical exercise. Look at your blood
work. See if you're anemic. You know, we gotta do a whole
protocol. Look at the thyroid. You know, we gotta for the migraines.
We usually got to do a whole overall of your whole health. But
it all can be done. So that's why these evaluations are so important to
get to the root cause of the problems rather than just treating with botox.
And you know, well these harmful medications that you know cost stuff you don't
even realize internally, So you know, don't come to me if you just
want the prescription for the headache medication or the tonighties or the dizziness medication.
I am not the doctor that writes prescription medication. I am a functional neurologist,
very different than a medical neurologist. So I'm not going to do drugs.
I'm not going to do surgeries. But I'm going to come up with
natural, holistic, and integrative ways to come up with your problems and the
best solutions, all right. So it's not about just diagnosing where the problems
are coming from with all the tests, but the most important thing is coming
up with the solutions. So the test just tell us what's wrong, but
the best part is the solutions, and they're usually pretty easy and simple and
stuff that you could do at home. But you just got to be committed
to working on yourself. You know, the human body is amazing at healing
on its own, but you just have to put in the work and effort.
So nobody's going to do it for you. So you might have to
change some bad habits, and you know, you might have to do some
hard work to get results. But if you really want to fix all these
issues, use you have to put in the work, all right, And
it's better to prevent big problems. So sometimes when you get symptoms like Toniti's
or headaches or dizziness, it's the brain telling you, hey, we got
to fix these health problems. So if you're ready to take control of your
health, you want to sign up for the qEEG brain mapping that's going to
tell us, hey, do you have anxiety? Do you have sleeping problems?
Do you have memory problems? You have white matter inflammation in the brain.
Do you have intestinal inflammation? Do you have a thyroid problem. Do
you have a problem with your neurotransmitters dopamine, acetocline nor upper nephrin. Do
you have troubles with focus? Do you have troubles with attention? Do you
have troubles shifting tasks? Do you have confusion? Do you have brain fund
do you have sleep deprivation? Do you have insomn do you have depression?
Anxiety? It literally tells us all these things. That test is normally five
hundred dollars, but if you sign up one of the first time people,
you can get it for twenty one dollars. Then you should also sign up
for the one on one neurologic evaluation with me, we're gonna check your blood
pressure, your pulse, Listen to your heart, your gut, your lungs.
I'm gonna check out your balance, your eyes, your ears, your
reflexes, your posture, your alignment, your memory. That's forty five minutes
doing all these different tests. That's also normally five hundred dollars, but if
you're one of those first seven people, you could get that test as well
for only twenty one dollars. The third test is the QE, sorry is
the VNG. That's the eye test. So this is really good people with
imbalances of the left and the right brain because it'll tell us as one side
working more than the other. So people with you know, bipolarmatic to press
and when there's these obviously sometimes up and sometimes low. The VNG is the
best test for that. If you've had a traumatic brain injury, concussion,
any eye problems, any of the stuff we told Boke about today, the
v is the best test. That's the eye test. That's also normally five
hundred dollars, but if you're one of the first seven people, you could
get that for only twenty one dollars as well. You can sign up for
all three. The other thing we're doing is a seminar series. We have
different seminar series coming up. There's four different ones. The next one is
on April twenty six, that's on the natural Ways to reduce inflammation. The
one in May, the last week in May thirty first, it's always the
last week, the last Wednesday of each week. So the one in May
is going to be on mastering nutrition. All the healthy foods that you need
to eat, all the bad foods you need to avoid, what to look
out for, how to read the labels properly, you know what type of
diet and one to eat and how to eat, and how to combine different
foods, and one to drink water and reference to eat. So there's a
lot of different nutritional components. That's the one in May. In June it's
gonna be memory brain exercises. You're gonna learn neurologic exercises that you could do
to boost your brain power and improve memory, focus for add adhd, OCD,
dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, all these brain exercises to make your
brain stronger and prevent future problems. And the one in July is a boost
your Brain Power boot camp where we're gonna go everything depression and anxiety. We're
gonna go over memory and focus, we're gonna go over energy and sleep and
oxygen. And we're gonna recover everything with the nutrition and the inflammation and all
the brain exercise. So it's gonna get all all in one, all right.
Each seminar is one hundred dollars. It's really good. You have food
there, we have drinks, we have massages, all included in the price,
so it's not just for the seminar, but you get free massage,
