00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:17.600
and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening

4
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:25.519
to boost your brain power. This
month is Brain Injury Awareness Month. There

5
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:31.359
are all different types of brain injuries. The most common we hear about is

6
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:39.000
a mild traumatic brain injury or a
concussion. That's when you hit your head,

7
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:47.399
you'll get certain symptoms like headaches,
dizziness, light sensitivity, all right.

8
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:55.079
If it's lasting, sometimes it'll lead
to brain fog, anxiety, troubles

9
00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:02.359
with memory and focus, sleeping difficulties, heart palpitation. So it could lead

10
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:08.280
to a lot of problems if it
isn't rectified. The old way of thinking

11
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:17.480
with a concussion is just to rest, but all the neuroscience has actually shown

12
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:25.040
that rest makes your brain worse.
If your brain is injured, we need

13
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:30.480
to strengthen it. If you rest
it, then it gets worse and worse

14
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.239
and worse. Just like if you
would rest a muscle, the muscle would

15
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:42.840
become weaker. If you rest your
brain, your brain becomes weaker. However,

16
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.840
if you overwork your muscle, you
could strain it, and if you

17
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:52.439
overwork your brain, you could strain
your brain. So it's an art.

18
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:59.000
You gotta find that happy medium where
you rehab the brain and strengthen those weak

19
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:05.680
areas at the same time not overdoing
it to create additional symptoms. And that's

20
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.919
hard to find, but that is
the solution. So when you have a

21
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:14.919
traumatic brain injury, it's not that
you want to rest, it's that you

22
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.560
got to heal the damaged areas.
There could be all different areas that are

23
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:27.879
damaged. Right, the worse it
is, the harder it is to fix.

24
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.400
So how do we know if it's
bad. If you've lost consciousness,

25
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.520
that's really bad, So we don't
want, you know, to lose consciousness.

26
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:45.479
That makes the brain a lot worse. If you've had multiple hits to

27
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.560
the head, that makes it worse. Also, especially if you haven't healed

28
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.879
the original head injury, so you
have to heal the original injury. But

29
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.599
if you don't heal it and then
you get hit again, even at a

30
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:05.759
lighter hit, it could actually be
a lot worse. So if you really

31
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:12.719
want to rewire your brain and rehabit, it's not rest. That you need.

32
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.159
But you need to figure out which
areas of the brain are damaged and

33
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:23.000
what's the appropriate exercise or therapy you
need to do to stimulate that weak area.

34
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:29.800
That's why it's all about function.
Now. Don't come to me if

35
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:34.879
you want a doctor to prescribe drugs. Don't come to me if you just

36
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:40.080
want medicine to hide the symptoms.
My patients see me because they want to

37
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.159
get to the root cause of the
problem. If you get to the root

38
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:51.879
cause of the problem and treat that
area, then you can have a better

39
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:59.039
future. You don't have to keep
going to doctors doing all these evaluations,

40
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:06.080
all these treemans, all these exams, all these referrals, all this radiation

41
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:15.000
and contrast fluid and sitting in these
small tubes and getting poked and prodded with

42
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:21.519
very few answers. I get the
frustration. It is a sad state of

43
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:30.040
affairs. This modern medical model isn't
appropriate. It's not healthcare. This is

44
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.079
sick care. We have to change
our minds. We need a paradigm shift,

45
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:41.959
and we got to stop treating symptoms, stop waiting till bad things happens,

46
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.199
and then try and cover up the
bad. The key is to heal

47
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:51.920
from within. The power that made
the body heals the body. But we

48
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:58.160
have to unleash its potential. You
have to give it the proper fuel.

49
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:04.439
Give your car the wrong fuel,
it's gonna get run down pretty quickly.

50
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:11.000
If you give your body bad fuel, it's gonna get run down quickly.

51
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:16.160
Now what's fuel that a human body
needs. It needs oxygen, you know,

52
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:21.439
get some plants. Get some spider
plants, alo vera, money plants,

53
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:26.839
snake plants. Those will purify your
air. Those will give you lots

54
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:32.480
of oxygen. Work on your posture. Everyone with their iPads and computers and

55
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:39.959
their cell phones. Everyone's slouched down
with their shoulders. Roll in, start

56
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:45.279
looking up and rolling your shoulders back. Do it right now, get up,

57
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:50.759
look up and roll those shoulders back. Do it for thirty seconds.

58
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:57.040
It might be hard in the beginning
because you're not used to it. But

59
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.879
just like we said, the brain, you use it, you lose it.

60
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.240
The muscles, you use it or
you lose it. Your posture,

61
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.560
you use it or you lose it. So if you don't combat your poor

62
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.160
posture, you're just gonna hunch forward
and you're gonna get worse and worse and

63
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:16.920
worse, and you're gonna look a
lot older than you actually are. Let's

64
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:24.439
start feeling younger. Let's reverse the
aging process. But it starts with good

65
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:30.399
fuel delivery oxygen. So we have
to breathe properly. Should start doing breathing

66
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.399
exercises where you inhale for four seconds, hold it for seven seconds, and

67
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:40.800
exhale for eight seconds. When you
inhale, focus on your diaphram going down

68
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:46.959
and out. That will increase the
capacity of your lungs, maximizing your oxygen

69
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:53.959
intake. Then as you exhale,
your belly will come in and it'll push

70
00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:00.360
your diaphragm up into the lungs and
squeeze that carbon dioxide out. Imagine,

71
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.079
when you exhale, you're giving that
carbon dioxide to your plants, your snake

72
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:09.040
plants, and your spider plants,
and your alovera plants and your money plant,

73
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.000
or if you do it outside,
you're giving it to the trees and

74
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:17.000
the bushes and the grass and the
shrubs and the fruits and the veggies.

75
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:25.560
So it's a symbiotic relationship. The
plants benefit from our breath and we benefit

76
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:30.399
from their oxygen. So don't even
you know, think it's selfish by taking

77
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:35.079
their oxygen because you're giving them carbon
dioxide. So you owe it to the

78
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:41.439
world, to the earth to go
outside, take in some oxygen and breed

79
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.519
out that carbon dioxide. Notice I
have you exhaling twice as long as you

80
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:51.360
inhal because you want to get rid
of the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide

81
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:59.120
creates an acidic environment, and all
disease loves acidic environment. I'm talking about

82
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:05.319
heart disease, cancer, diabetes,
Alzheimer's disease, COVID nineteen, the flu

83
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:15.079
They all love acidic environments. So
get rid of your carbon dioxide. Breathe

84
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.560
out. Everyone's focusing on these big
inhales, start focusing on your exhales.

85
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.800
You can take a straw and blow
bubbles in the water, or you take

86
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.240
a straw and blow a pinwheel and
see how long you can make it spin

87
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.399
over and over and over again.
Do exhalation exercises. When you inhale,

88
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:39.240
that's going to increase your heart rate. When you exhale, that's going to

89
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.919
calm down your heart. That's going
to get you in a more relaxed state

90
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:52.440
is the exhale. So the best
breathing exercise is to inhale for four seconds,

91
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.559
hold it for seven seconds, and
exhale for eight seconds. And as

92
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.399
you get better and better, make
that last longer and longer. So instead

93
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:09.039
of counting like one, two three
four for your inhale, you'll count a

94
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:18.399
lot slower one two three four,
and then you hold it for seven seconds

95
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:24.080
and you exhale for eight The slower
you count at the same time keeping the

96
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.279
same ratio, the more oxygen you
get and the more carbon dioxide you get

97
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.879
rid of. If you get rid
of carbon dioxide, then you have more

98
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:39.159
room for oxygen. Right, So
start getting some good plants, start going

99
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:45.080
outside in the forests and the trees. Start focusing on your diaphragm when you're

100
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:46.919
breathing. You don't want to breathe
front, your neck, and your shoulders.

101
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.159
Those are using accessory muscles of respiration. That is not good for your

102
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.960
oxygen intake. If you breathe from
your diaphragm and keep your shoulders nice,

103
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:05.799
relax, that's a bigger benefit to
your brain and your body. So that's

104
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:11.440
fuel delivery, getting the oxygen,
also getting the water. We have to

105
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.279
drink half your body weight in ounces
of water every day. If you weigh

106
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:22.320
one hundred and fifty pounds, you
have to drink seventy five ounces of water

107
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.639
every single day, all right.
So if you weigh two hundred pounds,

108
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.200
you have to drink one hundred ounces. If you're one hundred pounds, you

109
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.440
only have to drink fifty ounces.
So it's not drink eight glasses water day,

110
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:41.200
it's drink half your bodyweight in ounces. The best time to drink the

111
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:46.200
water is on an empty stomach.
Don't drink while eating, right, You

112
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.360
gotta drink an empty stomach. That
way it gets absorbed. Best get a

113
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:56.039
filter for your sink rather than buying
plastic water bottles, which are very bad

114
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.399
for the environment, plus is bad
for your health because all those plastic leach

115
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:07.000
into your water. So stop drinking
plastic water bottles and start drinking out of

116
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:13.399
glass containers or stainless steel that will
not leach any chemicals into the water.

117
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:20.279
You can get a reverse osmosis filter. You know, there's lots of ways

118
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.919
that you can get a filter set
up, but the best is to do

119
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.000
it, you know, when they
come under your sink, and you can

120
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.080
do it on your shower heads as
well, and you're you know, if

121
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.960
you do it inside it's much better
to filter out everything, you know,

122
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.720
especially because after the pipes, who
knows what's going to get in your tap

123
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:48.720
water there all right, So fuel
delivery is oxygen water and food. Food's

124
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:54.679
pretty easy. The key is to
not eat all the stuff in the boxes

125
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.679
and the cans and the bags.
Is eat everything fresh with no preservatives,

126
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.279
no food dies, no artificial sweeteners
and artificial flavors. Eat real food from

127
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.840
the earth. Just imagine your hunter
gatherer like they did for thousands of years

128
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:13.519
before the agricultural revolution that killed all
our food, especially in America, with

129
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.759
the genetic modified seeds and all the
chemicals they spray, the petticides, the

130
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:26.759
herbicides, all the animals that they
killed just to farm these big lands without

131
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.559
the animals eating. You know,
it's really bad for the environment. All

132
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:37.720
those chemicals they spray got even into
the organic farms. America has the worst

133
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.039
food in the world. It's better
to eat food from a third world country

134
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.200
where they just literally pick it out
in the backyard, raise their own little

135
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.679
chickens. That's what we should be
doing. But when you go to a

136
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:54.519
shopright, and you go to these
places that are mass produced, it's poor

137
00:12:54.639 --> 00:13:01.840
quality stuff. Right, So start
getting green thumb, you know, start

138
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.360
learning how to garden or make your
own fruits and veggies, and you can

139
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:11.039
do stuff inside easily too, you
know. Start start being self sufficient but

140
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.399
not relying on the supermarket for your
food. Or go to some you know,

141
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.440
local farmers market and get to know
the farmer and you know, yeah,

142
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.440
they're gonna use some chemicals, but
it's not gonna be as bad as

143
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.720
they use in the grocery store,
all right. So eat all the colors

144
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.840
of the rainbow, and stay away
from all the white foods. You know,

145
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.519
the sugar, the dairy, all
the the breads and the noodles and

146
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:39.879
all those sturty all the crackers and
the cereals, and the and the muffins

147
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:45.360
and croissants and bagels and toasts and
all those cakes and cookies, all those

148
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.799
white foods, all the white flours. Stay away from the white and get

149
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:54.519
all the colors. Get all your
water, get all your oxygen. That's

150
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.559
all your fuel delivery, so you
can function better, feel better, and

151
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:05.559
lit a better life. Don't miss

Function better, feel better, and
live a better life. This month is

163
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:11.519
Brain Injury Awareness Month. We see
loge of patients with brain injuries in our

164
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.559
offices in New York City and in
New Jersey as well as we see a

165
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:22.200
lot of people virtually from around the
world with a lot of concussions. Traumatic

166
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:28.639
brain injuries could be strokes, could
be chemical exposure, mold exposure, line

167
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:39.559
disease COVID nineteen long haulers. These
injure the brains right. Autoimmune disease injures

168
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:45.720
the brain and attacks your brain.
That's what MS is. Multiple sclerosis is

169
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:54.159
an autoimmune disease where the body is
attacking the brain. Autoimmune disease is all

170
00:15:54.200 --> 00:16:03.120
over the map, and each specialty
just tells you what their autoimmune disease is.

171
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:11.360
And what I mean by that is
there's not a big difference with MS,

172
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:18.919
which is an auto immune disease of
the brain, and then comparing it

173
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:30.399
to siliac which is autoimmune of the
stomach, or hashimotos which is autoimmune of

174
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:37.720
the thyroid. So we see a
lot of overlap of symptoms between all these

175
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:42.960
autoimmune diseases. And the reason is
they're not separate. They're all the same

176
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:52.200
thing, which is the overactive nervous
system creating an overactive immune system which is

177
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:59.240
going haywire and starts attacking their own
body. So if everything's overactive, the

178
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:04.319
solution is to calm it down.
A lot of doctors for autoimmune disease are

179
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:11.279
gonna give immunosuppressants to calm everything down. However, that's not getting to the

180
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:17.440
root cause of the problem, which
can be certain foods that you eat.

181
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:23.839
I would say the six worst foods
you can eat for autoimmune disease and I'll

182
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:33.400
give you a short list right now, ms rheumatoid arthritis, chogrins, psoriasis,

183
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:45.519
hashimotos graves, IBS, fibromyalgia,
siliac disease. These are all autoimmune

184
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:51.319
diseases, the bodies attacking itself.
Okay, well, the most important things

185
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:57.160
are to avoid these top six autoimmune
foods. Number one is gluten, Number

186
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:06.480
two is dairy, Number three is
corn, number four is soy, number

187
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:12.480
five is coffee, and number six
is alcohol. Those are the top six

188
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:22.400
auto immune foods that I would avoid. If you want to reverse autoimmune disease

189
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.559
and bring those antibodies down, you
could do a little science experiment. Don't

190
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.720
trust me, you know, don't
believe me what I'm saying. Do it

191
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:36.200
yourself and you see the results.
You know. I'm just here to kind

192
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:40.039
of open up your mind and let
you know there are other options out there

193
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:45.039
besides just taking all these medicines and
doing all these surgeries. You can heal

194
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.759
your body, but you got to
figure out what works best for you.

195
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.079
Just don't believe everything I say.
I don't believe you know what other people

196
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.400
say. I kind of read a
lot and do a lot of research and

197
00:18:55.440 --> 00:19:00.000
read the journals and then I'm luckily
I have you know, so many patients

198
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.319
I've seen. I've seen over one
hundred thousand patients. You know. I've

199
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:11.039
been doing this since two thousand,
twenty four years and celebrating my nineteenth anniversary

200
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:17.839
in New York City next week.
Nineteen years in New York City. Imagine

201
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:22.799
how many patients I see it all
shapes and sizes and colors and ages,

202
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.680
seeing it all all different diseases.
And I've learned a lot, and I'm

203
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:33.119
sharing this knowledge with you. But
take what I'm teaching you go out try

204
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.200
it yourself, but do some scientific
measurement, right so you know, there's

205
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:42.880
lots of ways to measure. If
you want to do your memory, you

206
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:48.759
could do a Mocha test Moca just
google it. It's free. You can

207
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.200
download the mocha and you need a
partner just to help you take it.

208
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:56.720
And there's different versions. You could
do version one and they do version two,

209
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:02.200
so the person giving the test doesn't
know the answers already. And it's

210
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:04.319
a quick test, just takes a
few minutes, and you want to get

211
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.599
at least a twenty six out of
thirty. That is one of the best

212
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.279
tests. You could do right now
on your own, just to see how

213
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:18.240
your brain's functioning. It's a Mocha
test, Moca. It's completely free,

214
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.400
no charge, all right. And
what's all neurologists do in the whole country.

215
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:27.160
Everybody does the Mocha test. If
you guys, remember President Trump did

216
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.079
the Mocha test and he was bragging
that he, you know, passed,

217
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:34.400
he got above a twenty six.
I don't think President Biden's done it yet.

218
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:38.839
You know, it'd be interesting to
see what his score is. But

219
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:42.119
do your score right, and you
see what your score, what your score

220
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.759
is, and then really go for
it and say, hey, I'm going

221
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.680
to improve my brain function and then
redo the next version, and you can

222
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:53.039
see your score go from maybe a
twenty six to a twenty seven, twenty

223
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.599
seven to twenty eight, or if
you're really bad and you're at twenty or

224
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.039
fifteen or ten, you could see
that jump up a lot. And we

225
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.799
see patients who are literally can't get
any score. They get a zero,

226
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:10.839
one, two, three, you
know, and some of the tests are

227
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:14.480
like, you know, what is
today's date is? Just if you get

228
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:17.119
that right, you get a bunch
of points there, all right, So

229
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.799
download the Mocha test to measure for
your memory. It's a very good test

230
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:23.079
just to kind of give you an
idea of where you are right now,

231
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:27.680
all right, And the idea is
never let that number get worse, you

232
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:32.680
know, make sure that you keep
your brain stronger and stronger. It is

233
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:37.400
not normal for your memory to get
worse as you get older. But when

234
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.960
people have these traumatic brain injuries,
they see their memory getting worse. More

235
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:48.559
brain fog let's focus not as good
motivation and organization and planning. That doesn't

236
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:53.200
have to be the case if you've
had a traumatic brain injury, even a

237
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:57.200
mild traumatic brain injury. If you
had a concussion when you were a little

238
00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.160
kid and wasn't even a concussion,
but you know, because they didn't even

239
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.839
diagnose it back then. But you
know, you say, hey, you

240
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.720
know what I did, get hit
in the head a couple of times growing

241
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:10.440
up. You know it could still
affect you to this day. Maybe it

242
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:15.200
is, you know, something that's
affecting you right now that you could change.

243
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:19.400
You could rewire your brain. It's
called neuroplasticity, and you could do

244
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:26.759
brain exercises to stimulate those weak areas
of the brain to create more connections,

245
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:32.680
more mitochondria, more ATP production,
you know, activating those stem cells.

246
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:36.480
It can happen, but you have
to work for it. Again. I'm

247
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:38.920
not the doctor that's just going to
give you some magic pill. There is

248
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:44.319
no magic pill. Right. If
there was a concussion pill, all these

249
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:47.680
football players would just take it and
they'd be fine. But they showed the

250
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:52.839
research shows that ninety nine percent of
all these football players have severe brain damage.

251
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.720
We have to, you know,
fix their brains now so it doesn't

252
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:02.039
lead to Alzheimer's and dementia down the
road. An ounce of prevention is worth

253
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:07.440
a pound of cure. You get
to strengthen your brain now before it becomes

254
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.559
a major issue. And if you're
already having issues, better start working at

255
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.079
it now because the longer you wait, the harder it is to reverse.

256
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.880
But the good news is you can
reverse it, so it's not normal for

257
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:23.920
your memory to get worse. My
name is doctor Eric Kaplan, and I

258
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:30.240
am a brain expert, and I
could teach you ways to improve your memory

259
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:37.359
and your focus so that you function
better, feel better, and live a

260
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:44.319
better life. All you have to
do is put in the work. With

261
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.680
anything in life, if you put
in the work, you could get the

262
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:52.359
results, and the work can be
a lot of different things. It's not

263
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:57.359
just the fuel delivery and breathing right
and drinking the water and getting the nutrition.

264
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:06.519
It could be dealing with your emotional
stress. It could be dealing with

265
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:14.440
some environmental stresses, some electromagnetic frequency
issues, some molding your house. You

266
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:18.079
could have an old tick bite where
the lime disease has been lying dormant.

267
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.240
You could have been exposed to COVID
nineteen and you still haven't killed off those

268
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:27.039
last few stragglers and still affecting your
brain to this day. You could have

269
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:32.319
had a traumatic berth where the cord
was wrapped around your neck. You could

270
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:37.519
have had a concussion playing sports growing
up, or a car accident. There

271
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:42.720
are so many different things that can
affect your brain today. But the key

272
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:48.480
is to get to the root cause
of the problem and figure out where the

273
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.640
damage is so then you could take
action and do something about it. This

274
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:57.920
is doctor Eric Kaplan. You're listening
to boost your brain power more when we

275
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.519
come back from break. If you
want to improve your brain function, help

276
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.079
with memory, focus, sleep,
digestion, energy, depression, anxiety,

277
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.000
dizziness, balance, vision, headaches, brain fog, weight loss, or

278
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:17.160
simply want to maximize your human potential
and prevent future diseases that this is the

279
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:22.240
show for you. Don't misboost your
brain power with doctor Eric Kaplan and you

280
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.079
will learn natural, integrative, and
holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such

281
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:33.359
as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism, add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia,

282
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:37.279
fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four
posture pain, TBI, skin and

283
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.759
digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan is most
famous for getting to the root cause of

284
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:47.359
a wide variety of brain and health
conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional

285
00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:51.720
medicines and risky surgeries. To contact
doctor Caplin, you can call his team

286
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:55.759
at two oh one two six one
two one five zero or visit his website

287
00:25:55.839 --> 00:26:04.319
at kaplindc dot Comunction better, feel
better and live a better life. You

288
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:11.680
can have a traumatic brain injury and
completely recover back to normal, and you

289
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.839
might not have any traumatic brain injury, and your memory could get worse and

290
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.480
worse as you get older. If
you're just a person that does the same

291
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:23.440
thing every week, over and over
and over again, your brain's gonna get

292
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:27.200
worse. It's just like a muscle, you use it or you lose it.

293
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:32.640
Start using it. And I'm not
talking about just doing the crossword puzzle

294
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:37.000
every day or doing some game on
your cell phone. You have to use

295
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:42.240
it in different ways every single day. The brain loves novelty. Novelty is

296
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:47.839
new things. You have to do, new things that you've never done before.

297
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:52.480
You've got to travel to new places, you have to meet new people.

298
00:26:53.799 --> 00:27:02.960
It is very important that you do
something new every single day. Now

299
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.680
when I say something new, is
it learning a new language? Yeah,

300
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:17.200
that would be great. Is it
learning a new musical instrument? Amazing?

301
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:22.960
That would be fantastic. But it
could be just, you know, learning

302
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.359
how to garden, like we were
talking about before, Learning how to put

303
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:36.000
up a shelf. Learn how to
clean water, to filter out bad stuff

304
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:42.319
out of water, maybe fluoride or
something like that. Learn how to build

305
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:48.680
something that you've never built before,
you know, a desk or some piece

306
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.279
of furniture. Learn how to build
a fire, learn how to change a

307
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:59.279
flat tire. The more you learn, the better your brain functions. So

308
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:06.839
when people go to retirement and they
start challenging their brains and they just sit

309
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:12.400
on the couch and do watch TV
all day, Netflix or go on YouTube.

310
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:17.720
It's not good. So retirement's one
of the worst things for the brain.

311
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:21.640
My wife always says, oh,
what are you going to retire?

312
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:26.720
I said, I'm never going to
retire. I never want to retire because

313
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.480
then that's when my brain is going
downhill. And I'm always doing new things,

314
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:34.359
whether it's writing a new book.
You know. I have two books

315
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:40.160
out right now, I'm writing a
third. One of my books is called

316
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:47.480
Boost your Brain Power, a Guide
to improving your memory and focus. The

317
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:53.680
second book is called Concussion Discussions,
and that you could get by calling my

318
00:28:53.799 --> 00:29:03.119
office at six four six two two
one six seven. And I also have

319
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:11.240
two radio shows. I write for
the two different newspapers. One is called

320
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:18.720
the Pascach Press, the other is
called the Northern Valley Press. I'm a

321
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:29.559
teacher neurology professor. I taught at
tri State College, Manhattan. I taught

322
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:40.480
neurology, pathology, anatomy, physiology. I do keynote, speaking at lots

323
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:51.839
of different events and seminars. I
have my own seminar series that's actually starting

324
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:57.599
this month. It's all different seminars. They're live, they're over zoom,

325
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:07.680
they're in person. The next seminar
is about depression and anxiety and natural ways

326
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:12.839
on how to boost your brain power
so you're out of stress mode. You

327
00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:22.079
increase your brain's function if you could
focus better and motivate and organize and not

328
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:27.039
be so worried and overthinking everything and
the mind going a million miles per hour.

329
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:33.319
It's a problem here, especially in
this Tri state area. There are

330
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:38.480
lots of people with anxiety and depression
and we need to help those people.

331
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:45.839
So sign up for the seminar series
if you're interested in that. The seminar

332
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:52.799
series is once a month, so
it will be the last Tuesday of every

333
00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:59.079
month, and there's one in March, April, May, June, and

334
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:04.960
July. So there's five seminars of
the seminar series and they each cover different

335
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:14.279
topics. The first one that's coming
up is anxiety and depression, but that

336
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:22.440
the next one in April is going
to be about sleep and energy, and

337
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:30.640
then the next one is going to
be about brain nutrition. What can you

338
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:36.119
eat to improve your brain function and
what you don't need to avoid that's causing

339
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:42.359
all this inflammation, a lot of
brain inflammation we see. Then we're actually

340
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:49.960
gonna go over exercises, brain exercises
to improve your memory, and eye exercises

341
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:59.119
to improve your vision, and physical
therapy exercises to improve your posture, and

342
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:05.880
different aerobic and anaerobic exercises to build
muscle and get your bone strong and good

343
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:15.720
for your heart, stomach exercises and
diaphragm exercises and kidney exercises. You're not

344
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:20.920
gonna want to miss it. That's
a great module. And then there's gonna

345
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:27.160
be the Boost your Brain Power boot
Camp. That's how it ends in July,

346
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:32.960
the last Tuesday of July, where
we go over everything that all together.

347
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:37.039
We put it all together so even
if you kind of miss one,

348
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:42.119
you could get it all. And
here's the deal. They're normally two hundred

349
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:47.880
dollars each, but all you have
to do is pay ninety seven dollars for

350
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:55.920
the first one and you're gonna get
the next four completely free at no extra

351
00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:02.599
charge. So it's less than twenty
dollars a module, so it's pretty good

352
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:10.000
deal. It's alive every last Tuesday
of the month, six thirty pm to

353
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:16.200
eight pm. It's in person in
River Edge, New Jersey. If you

354
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:19.720
can't come there, you could do
it over zoom. We have a lot

355
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.480
of people that are from all over
the world and all over the country that

356
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:25.799
are going to be a joining us
on zoom. And if you can't make

357
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:30.240
it live at that time Eastern Standard
time six thirty, you could get a

358
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:35.240
recording, all right. You can
get a recording, so there's no pressure

359
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:37.200
for you to be there, and
you could keep that for life, and

360
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:42.880
you could you know, share it
with your friends and family, so there's

361
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.720
no excuse you can come live.
If you do come live, there'll be

362
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:52.440
lots of giveaways, and there will
also be some food and some you know,

363
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.920
different therapies, and there'll be lots
of lots of healthy people too,

364
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:01.039
so it'll be fun. So I
would definitely recommend it. That is the

365
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:06.480
Boost your Brain Power Seminar Series.
All you have to be is one of

366
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:10.159
the first seven people to call,
text or email. You could get all

367
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:17.280
five seminars for only ninety seven dollars, all right, so that's less than

368
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:23.719
twenty dollars a seminar. Just caller
text six four six two two one six

369
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:31.360
seven three eight, or you could
email info at Kaplinbrainebody dot com. Just

370
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:36.440
say you want to be one of
the first seven people to get all five

371
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:44.639
seminars for only ninety seven dollars.
Now, the Seminar Series is great for

372
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:49.360
people who want to, you know, dig deep and do a lot on

373
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:53.880
their own and learn a lot of
stuff to help themselves and prevent future problems.

374
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:58.800
And ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure if you stay for

375
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:00.599
the end of the show. We're
also going to give away a lot of

376
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:06.760
gifts as far as brain evaluations too, so make sure you stick around for

377
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:10.039
the end. We're gonna give away
some good stuff as well on the show.

378
00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:15.760
So the Seminar Series is gonna be
once a month for the next five

379
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:23.599
months. It's the last Tuesday of
every month. It's going to be a

380
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:30.159
lot this month on anxiety and depression, right, and we have a lot

381
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:35.079
of patients that have anxiety, and
a lot of them have had traumatic brain

382
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:37.400
injury. So that's one of the
most common things we see after traumatic brain

383
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:44.360
injury is the anxiety goes up and
people start getting heart palpitations and they get

384
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:47.000
very nervous, and their mind's always
racing and they can't think as good and

385
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:52.039
focus is good, and it even
interrupts their sleeve and they get dizzyness and

386
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:59.119
headaches and light sensitivity. So we
see it all the time where this anxiety

387
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:04.639
and from an overactive brain. It's
like a post traumatic stress. So when

388
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:09.159
you hit your head, your head's
in stress mode, right, So now

389
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:12.280
it's on call, and say,
hey, I don't want to hit my

390
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.199
head again. So it's always look, it's always on call. We call

391
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:22.280
that the fighter flight mode. So
if you really want to heal your traumatic

392
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:28.440
brain injury and reduce the anxiety,
you know, definitely come to the seminar.

393
00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:31.639
But you got to learn specific ways
for your brain to get you out

394
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:37.679
of that fighter flight mode, all
right. So sometimes it's working on what's

395
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:42.719
called your vegas nerve. The vegas
nerve puts you in this fighter flight mode.

396
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:45.760
Sometimes you have to work on what's
called your cerebellum. So these people

397
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:52.079
will have balance problems, difficulty with
speech. It's almost like the part of

398
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:55.639
the brain that makes you feel drunk, you know, so I want loopy

399
00:36:55.840 --> 00:37:01.719
and you can't think and over emotion
and feel like you're hungover. You got

400
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:07.400
a headache, and you can't walk
straight and you're slurring your words. So

401
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:09.679
that's a different part of the brain
that's a cerebellum. Then we have some

402
00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:15.320
people with their executive functions that's more
than frontal core tex. So every traumatic

403
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:19.760
brain injury is different. So if
you stick around to the end of the

404
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:24.480
show, we're gonna tell you how
you could figure out your brain and which

405
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:30.519
areas are functioning well, which areas
are not functioning well. This is doctor

419
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:47.119
I am a brain expert, and
I'm going to teach you a natural,

420
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:52.880
holistic ways how to improve your memory
and focus and at the same time

421
00:38:53.599 --> 00:39:05.559
reducing anxiety and depression. Now,
just like you can exercise your biceps by

422
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:12.719
doing curls and your biceps will grow, you could do brain exercises and make

423
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:19.679
your brain strengthen. Now with the
traumatic brain injury, you got to figure

424
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:23.679
out which areas of the brain aren't
working. Sometimes we have to do eye

425
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:32.239
exercises. Sometimes we have to do
balance exercises. Sometimes we have to do

426
00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:40.280
breathing exercises. Sometimes we need cold
laser. Sometimes we need neuro feedback.

427
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:49.719
Sometimes we need hyperb oxygen therapy.
Sometimes we need a peripheral nerve stimulator.

428
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:54.119
Sometimes we need to work on their
posture, their alignment. Sometimes we got

429
00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:58.800
to work on their diet, their
nutrition. We got to reduce inflammation.

430
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:04.000
Sometimes got to work on their sleep, work on their hormones, their cortisol.

431
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:12.159
So every patient is different, and
the key is to figure out what

432
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:19.760
you specifically need, all right,
So the way to do that is through

433
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:25.800
neurologic testing. One of the best
tests you could do is called a q

434
00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:37.039
EEG brain mapping. A qEEG brain
mapping will actually check all the different waves

435
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:45.639
of your brain. There's alpha brain
waves, there's beta brain waves, there's

436
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:55.920
beta, there's delta that each have
a different purpose. Alpha is how you

437
00:40:57.039 --> 00:41:00.599
normally are on day to day.
Most of the day, your brain will

438
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:07.119
be in that alpha brain wave.
When you really need to think or focus,

439
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:13.719
that's going to be the beta brain
waves. You know, let's say

440
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:22.400
you're giving a presentation at work,
or you're taking a test, or you're

441
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:25.760
you know, in school, and
you gotta take a bunch of notes and

442
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:31.920
you got to really pay attention to
what the professor is saying, or you're

443
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:38.800
learning something, you're reading a book, or you're playing a game of chess

444
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:45.159
and you really got to focus and
think three moves ahead. That's the beta

445
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:54.159
brain waves. The theta that's when
you're just daydreaming, looking outside it's a

446
00:41:54.280 --> 00:42:01.599
rainy day, or you know,
the birds are chirping in the more you're

447
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:12.360
in La la land kind of daydreaming, that's the theta brain waves. When

448
00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:20.079
you're sleeping, that's the delta.
So the brain is always functioning in different

449
00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:22.920
ways throughout the day. You know
you're gonna get a little bit of each

450
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:30.920
of those throughout the day. Right
now, those aren't as important as the

451
00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:37.440
location of these abnormal brain waves.
So what you could do, it's called

452
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:45.599
a qEEG brain mapping. You wear
a cap and it's got electrodes attached to

453
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:51.360
all the different areas of your brain, and it's going to measure all these

454
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:59.639
different brain waves. And based on
the location of where we find the abnormal

455
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:07.320
brain waves, that's going to tell
us which areas of the brain aren't functioning

456
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:15.119
well and which areas of the brain
are functioning well. So they can tell

457
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:19.760
us do you have anxiety? Do
you have depression? Do you have working

458
00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:27.599
memory deficit? Do you have short
term memory problems, immediate memory problems,

459
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:36.840
long term memory problems. Do you
have excessive emotionality? Do you have trouble

460
00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:47.440
with your executive functions, motivation,
organization, planning, social behavior, anxiety

461
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:58.599
depression? Do you lose things easily? Do you have insomnia or sleep deprivation?

462
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:07.599
Do you have a thyroid problem?
Do you have uh intestinal inflammation?

463
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:16.000
Right the q EEG brain mapping can
literally pick all of that up. Have

464
00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:25.159
you had a concussion, have you
had a pathology heavy metal poisoning? Do

465
00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:31.400
you have a traumatic brain injury?
I love this q EEG brain mapping,

466
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:37.159
And the gift is that we're going
to give to the first seven listeners to

467
00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:45.559
call text or email. You could
get the q EEG brain mapping, which

468
00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:52.239
is normally five hundred dollars for only
twenty one dollars. All you gotta do

469
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:59.840
is call text or email six four
six two two one six seven three eight.

470
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:04.480
If you've had a traumatic brain injury, you have to do this.

471
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:07.639
This is the most important test and
can tell us which areas of the brain

472
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:12.480
are functioning well and which are not. And even if you haven't had a

473
00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:15.360
traumatic brain injury, you've had you
have a brain. So you want to

474
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:21.960
figure out before it becomes problematic what
is going on. If you want to

475
00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:28.159
email us, you can email info
at kaplinbrainbody dot com. The next good

476
00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:32.679
test that we're gonna give a gift
for is a VNG video and listography.

477
00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:39.440
This test is great. You wear
these goggles and you watch this red light

478
00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:45.280
and it's got an infrared camera that
measures your eye movements, and the eyes

479
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:50.159
go left and right and up and
down and they go fast and so and

480
00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:52.760
you don't know where they are,
and there's repeated patterns, and there's different

481
00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:58.199
lights and no lights, and so
we all do all these little brain tests

482
00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:04.960
and we could see is one area
over and there's one area underactive. You

483
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:09.360
know a lot of times we'll see
that. I was just on the Joe

484
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:16.400
Piscopal Show on Friday and he was
asking me about bipolar disorder, and I

485
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:21.920
said, yes, the the VNG
test will pick this up because it tells

486
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:29.400
us which areas are overactive that's the
mania, and which areas are underactive,

487
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:35.719
right, And I said, that's
more the kind of down depressive one.

488
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:40.960
Right. So when people have severe
depression, it's underactive. When they have

489
00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:47.960
mania or anxiety, it's overactive.
Right. So the VNG is great at

490
00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:53.280
picking out which areas are overactive because
for those areas we got to calm it

491
00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:59.960
down, and then which areas are
underactive. For those we have to stimulate.

492
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:06.360
So, for example, one exercise
that's going to be more relaxing for

493
00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:12.960
the nervous system is the breathing exercise
we were talking about in hal for four,

494
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:19.519
hold for seven, olt for eight, or gargling. You can gargle

495
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:25.519
really intensely. And if you goggle
really intensely, that will help stimulate what's

496
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:30.400
called your vagus nerve, which is
part of your parasympathetic nervous system. Wh's

497
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:35.440
going to help get you add that
fight or flight mode into a more relaxed,

498
00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:40.880
rest and digest state. Now,
let's say you want to strengthen your

499
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:47.519
brain and we're working on that cerebellum. So what you could do is you

500
00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:52.440
want to strengthen the cerebellum, do
a complicated movement, so you do clockwise

501
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:57.519
circles with your left leg. So
you keep your left leg straight and draw

502
00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:00.639
clockwise circles. And then with your
left hand, keep your arm straight and

503
00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:05.760
draw big number six in the air, starting from the top. So you

504
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:08.199
get into a groove with the leg. You're doing clockwise circles over and over

505
00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:13.119
without stopping. And then as you
do that, you're gonna try, one

506
00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:17.360
at a time draw big number six
with your left lefe that's more stimulating,

507
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:22.440
that's more challenging, right and I
might do it on the left side for

508
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:27.639
some patients and on the right side
for other And that might help with bipolar,

509
00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:30.639
that might help with anxiety, it
might help with depression. It might

510
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:37.079
help with low motivation, low focus
for organization, might help with over active

511
00:48:37.159 --> 00:48:42.800
ADHD. The brain's firing a million
miles per hour, so many distractions,

512
00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:46.960
so it all depends. Everybody's brain's
different. So sometimes we got to relax

513
00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:51.960
it, sometimes we got to stimulate
it. That's why the VNG is the

514
00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:55.000
best test for that. That test
is normally five hundred dollars, but for

515
00:48:55.039 --> 00:49:00.039
the first seven people to call text
or email, you could get the VNG

516
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:05.400
for only twenty one dollars. All
you have to do is call text or

517
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:10.679
email six four six two two one
six seven three eight, or you can

518
00:49:10.719 --> 00:49:17.760
email info at Kaplinbrain Andbody dot com. Now, the last test we're going

519
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:22.599
to talk about is a one on
one with me, yours truly, doctor

520
00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:27.440
Eric APPLM. And during this test, you know, bring in the Mocha

521
00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:30.599
test if you've done it, bring
in any blood work if you've done it.

522
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:34.519
If you do the qEEG brain mapping, we'll go over that. If

523
00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:38.159
you did the VNG, we'll go
over that. Then we'll also check your

524
00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:43.440
memory, your lungs, your heart, your gut, your reflexes, your

525
00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:51.320
posture, your respiration to complete physical
neurologic evaluation takes about forty five minutes to

526
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:55.480
do everything. It's normally five hundred
dollars, but for the first seven people

527
00:49:55.519 --> 00:50:00.400
to call, text or email,
you can get that for only to one

528
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:04.559
one dollars as well, and if
you want, you could do all three.

529
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:09.880
You could do this VNG, the
q EEG brain mapping, and the

530
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:14.079
one on one with me. You
do all three in the same day if

531
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:16.360
you have the time, and you
only have to pay twenty one dollars each.

532
00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:20.639
But it's only for the first seven
people. So you got a call

533
00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:25.239
six four six two two one six
seven three eight, or you can email
