We're going to talk about how to boost your 5 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.760 brain power, how to boost your immune system. You know, right now 6 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.120 a lot of people are getting sick. So don't wait till you get sick. 7 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:34.520 Prevent it. Don't eat all these sugar and stay out late, drinking 8 00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:40.560 alcohol, going all these holiday parties, forgetting about the gym, forgetting to 9 00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.119 hydrate and eat healthy and just say okay, I'll start in the knew year. 10 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:49.399 No, that is not what you want to do. You want to 11 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:54.960 end the year strong, all right. You want to end the year on 12 00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:00.200 a good note, not with a loss, not with worse health. Well, 13 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.959 not getting sick. Right, you got to prevent sickness. How do 14 00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:08.760 you prevent sickness? Well, Number one is going to bed earlier in the 15 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.879 winter. You should sleep in extra hours. So if you sleep seven hours 16 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:19.439 in the summer, it's best to sleep eight hours in the winter. So 17 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.920 let's say if you're During the summer, you sleep from ten to five to 18 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.680 get your seven hours. During the winter, you could sleep from ten to 19 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:34.560 six so you get an extra hour. Or if you sleep from eleven to 20 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:41.079 six in the summer, sleep from ten to six in the winter an hour 21 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:47.000 earlier. You want to sleep according to the sunlight, so as goes down 22 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.680 early, you should go to bed early. When the sun goes down. 23 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:56.599 Start to dim the lights in your house or apartment. When the sun goes 24 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:02.959 down, Turn off your cell phone, turn off your turn off the iPad, 25 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:10.199 turn off the electronics. You have to unplug. If you want to 26 00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:15.520 be healthy, you got to turn off the electronics, especially at night. 27 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:23.479 So you should use electronics when the sun is out in the morning. As 28 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.319 the sun rises, your cortisol levels are going to be high, your testosterone 29 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.479 levels are going to be high. That's the time to do computer work is 30 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:36.120 in the morning. That's the time to check your emails, to do your 31 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:42.240 text messaging, to write your reports, to do your zoom meetings. Is 32 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.800 in the morning. When testosterone and cortisol are high, when the sun is 33 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:53.520 rising. That's the healthiest way to do it. You don't want all this 34 00:02:53.800 --> 00:03:00.680 light at night that increases cortisol, which is the stress hormone. You do 35 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.039 not want cortisol high at night. You want it high in the morning. 36 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.479 That's when you get stuff done. That's when you got to work right. 37 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:14.560 So as the sun goes down, start to dim the lights, use the 38 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:19.199 desk lamp, turn off the TV, turn off the computer, turn off 39 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:25.879 your cell phone, turn off the iPad, unplug. So you want to 40 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:31.240 go to bed early, and a way to go to bed early is to 41 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:38.599 stop all electronics and light at night. Another way to bring down cortisol is 42 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:45.639 night is to make sure you don't eat late. If you have four hours 43 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.439 before bedtime, that's plenty of time to digest your food. Meaning you want 44 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:57.039 to be done with your last meal at six pm so that you're ready for 45 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.360 bed at ten pm. At that point, all your food will be fully 46 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:08.719 digested. Now you can lie down without any consequence. If you have food 47 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:13.719 in your belly and you gonna lie down, that's gonna make sleeping more difficult. 48 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.079 It's gonna make you get up to pee at night. It's gonna lead 49 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.839 to acid reflux. It's gonna make you grogging the morning. Low energy, 50 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:29.519 pooral bowel movements, don't eat at night. It's one of the worst habits 51 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.519 you can get into. And if you're eating at night while sitting on the 52 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:39.519 couch with all the lights on, you're watching the news, computers on, 53 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.319 your brain is gonna be in stress mode and you're not gonna get effish and 54 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.560 sleep. You're not gonna get energy. Then your immune system is gonna be 55 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:55.720 weak. It's a vicious cycle that's gonna be hard to break. So start 56 00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:01.399 creating these good habits. Stop eating at night, and stop watching TV or 57 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:06.759 a computer or cell phone at night. That is a recipe for disaster. 58 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.639 If you want to be sick, you want to get heart disease, cancer, 59 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.879 Alzheimer's, obesity, then what you do is you sit all day at 60 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:23.439 work, You come home, sit at the dinner table, eat a big 61 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:29.439 meal, and then go sit on the couch and watch the news. That 62 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:35.839 is a recipe for disaster. Right, you want to be sick, that's 63 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:42.040 how you're going to be sick. You want to be healthy, stop eating 64 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:47.360 past six, Go for a walk outside after dinner so your brain can see 65 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.519 the sun's going down, the moon's coming out, the sky's getting darker. 66 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:58.319 Then when you come home, you dim the lights unplug everything. If you 67 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.920 want, listen to some music, listen to a podcast, listen to an 68 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:13.240 audible book, read a book, read a magazine, read some journals, 69 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:21.720 read some local newspaper, but don't read the national newspaper. Don't read the 70 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:28.680 New York Times and the USA Today and the Post. It's all going to 71 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.519 be stuff that gets you stressed out. That's why you don't want to watch 72 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:36.000 the news. It's always going to be stuff that puts you in stress mode. 73 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.199 And when you're in stress mode, your immune system becomes weak. So 74 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:45.879 if you're at night and you're reading about murders and racism and fires and wars 75 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:54.879 and corruption and racism and sexism and inflation and natural disasters and how the world's 76 00:06:54.920 --> 00:07:00.439 gonna fall apart, and the crime and murders and stabbings and rapes, oh 77 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.000 my god, we don't want to read about all this crime and all these 78 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:09.120 sad stories. That's what the newspaper is full of. They're not feel good 79 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:15.120 stories. There's stories that get you either angry or sad, or intense or 80 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.519 worked up, or they worry you or they stress you out. That's why 81 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:26.560 I like to read the local newspaper. I write for the Pascak Press where 82 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.600 I live. It's the local newspaper, and that's fun stories. Oh, 83 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.759 this is what the downtown look like one hundred years ago. And the local 84 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:40.839 high school team just won the big basketball game, and the senior citizens are 85 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:46.720 taking a nice trip to Atlantic City, and the you know local store is 86 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:53.000 opening up, and there's a ribbon cutting ceremony, and this author is going 87 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:58.120 to be reading their book at the library. And Santa's coming on the fire 88 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.839 engine to all the towns. And that's the stuff I like to read. 89 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.639 Fun stuff, happy stuff, stuff about the boy Scouts and the sports teams, 90 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.800 and the charity events and the you know local events where you can get 91 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.759 together and celebrate and all these awards. And that's the type of stuff I 92 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.879 want to hear about, not all the standings and the murders and the deaths 93 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.800 and the destructions and the wars that will stress you out. Turn up the 94 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:33.480 news, don't read the newspaper. Turn off social media. Social media is 95 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.879 crazy. They should call it anti social media. People are just fighting, 96 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:46.159 and people are getting jealous of how good other people's lives are. And you 97 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.799 know, yeah, it's kind of cool to keep in touch with some of 98 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.039 your old friends and stuff. But if you don't know how to use it 99 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.679 responsibly, it's going to cause more stress. It's going to create more fighting, 100 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:03.519 more tension, more cortisol. We don't like that, all right, 101 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:09.480 So you gotta unplug, and you gotta unplug in your bedroom. Don't sleep 102 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.399 near anything that's plugged in your an outlet, even if it's on the other 103 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.840 side of the wall. Try not to live near, you know, electricity 104 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:24.240 towers and five G towers. Stay away, turn off Wi Fi, turn 105 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:33.120 off five G. Put your phones on airplane mode, don't carry it on 106 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:39.480 your person. You gotta reduce electronic exposure, you know, and like you're 107 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:45.639 only a lot a certain amount of radiation in your life, and radiation kills 108 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.519 even if you If I'm at the dentist, a lot of times, I'll 109 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.759 say no, I'll wait for next time to do my X rays. Or 110 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.559 if I'm at the airport, you know, I'll take the pat down instead 111 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.759 of the machine. You know. I try and reduce my flying as much 112 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.639 as possible. It's a lot of radiation. I turn off my phone anytime 113 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.399 I'm carrying it. I put on airplane mode. I don't sleep near my 114 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.679 phone. I keep it away from me. You want to keep it at 115 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.480 least six feet away from you. It's good for your alarm clock too, 116 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.840 So if your cell phone is your alarm clock, you put it on airplane 117 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.600 mode so there's no radiation. You keep it six feet away from you. 118 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:22.480 Don't have a plugged in near you, so that when the alarm goes off 119 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.240 in the morning for you to exercise, you have to get out of bed, 120 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.799 and you can't just you know, go to your nightstand and tap stews. 121 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.679 It forces you to get out. Don't have a TV in your room, 122 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.960 don't have Wi Fi in your room. Turn off all the electronics. 123 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:46.279 It's too much stimulation, too much radiation. Right, You don't have to 124 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.840 take all these mammograms every year that they're always telling you. You know, 125 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.480 they're trying to change the standard way because they're realizing with these mammograms it's very 126 00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.600 hard to save people's lives because either of the people who do it, you 127 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.879 know, once a year, if there's a cancer, it grows so quick 128 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.080 that you know once a year didn't pick it up, or if it's so 129 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.919 slow that once a year doesn't matter anyway, because it's so slow, they 130 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.399 don't even pick it up also, so dode mammegrants really save lives, It's 131 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:22.519 debatable. You know, there's another test called thermography without the radiation, that 132 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.440 could tell you if there's some issues in your breast. But the best test 133 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.960 is palpati palpit your breast every day in the shower and you'll feel if there's 134 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.320 you know, new lumps or new growths. No one will know better than 135 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.679 you. All right, men, you could feel your testicles every morning, 136 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.960 see if there's any growth there. You could be your own health advocate. 137 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.879 Don't expect doctors to save your lives. You got to save your own lives 138 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.679 by prevention. That's what I'm teaching you. Guys. What to do is 139 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:56.320 prevent sickness. Don't wait till you get sick. That's why it's important to 140 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.360 go to bed early. That's why it's important to stay away from radiation. 141 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.639 Right. You want to boost your brain power, you want to boost your 142 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:11.679 immune system. You want to prevent heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes, 143 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:18.440 Alzheimer's. We have to reduce stress levels. Stress is the silent killer. 144 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.919 We're going to discuss this when we come back. This is doctor Eric 145 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.200 Kaplan.

To contact the doctor 156 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.399 Kaplan, you can call his team at two O one two six one two 157 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:26.960 one five zero or visit his website at kaplindc dot com. If you want 158 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:35.480 to stay healthy, you have to avoid all this radiation. It's everywhere now. 159 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.519 If you go into a Starbucks, it's like taking an X ray. 160 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.960 You're walking in the city, you're basically getting microwaved. With all the antennas, 161 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.360 all the radiation, all the five G all the cell phone towers, 162 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:54.240 all the antennas, the all these satellites, there's a lot of radiation. 163 00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:00.360 Everyone's on Wi Fi, there's millions of people. It's, oh, well, 164 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.799 you can't see it, so you don't know you're getting it. You 165 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:05.960 know, a lot of times, if you see air pollution, you can 166 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.360 see, you know, the dust in the air. But when it's radiation, 167 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:15.799 you can't see it. You cannot know how much radiation you're getting. 168 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.679 And believe me, if you're in the city, it's a lot. When 169 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.480 you go to the suburbs, it's less. When you go to the country 170 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.559 it's even less. So the closer you are to the city, the more 171 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.120 radiation you're gonna get. So it's even more important for you to turn off 172 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.399 your cell phone, put it on airplane mode, turn off the Wi Fi 173 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:45.440 at night, reduce electricity exposure. Work with your laptop on your lap right. 174 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.879 Don't use those bluetoothed headphones. Don't talk on the phone holding it next 175 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:58.799 to your ear. Use wire headphones, not wireless headphones, wire headphones, 176 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:03.600 and take your device and keep it at least six inches from you, preferably 177 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.000 six feet from you. If you don't have a wire headphone, you put 178 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.799 it on speaker phone. But do not hold your phone next to your head. 179 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:18.679 We do not want to cause brain tumors or brain cancer. Keep those 180 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.279 phones away from you. Don't hold it in your bra right next to your 181 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.639 heart and your lungs. Don't put it in your back pocket right next to 182 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.919 your prostate. Don't put it in your front pocket next to your ovaries and 183 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:35.919 your testicles. If you have to carry it on yourself, put it on 184 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.919 airplane mode. You have to reduce your radiation. This is serious stuff. 185 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.240 There's not getting less radiation, it's getting more and more and more radiation. 186 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:48.919 So we have to reduce it. Okay, Now what else do we have 187 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:54.840 to avoid to keep our nervous systems strong and healthy. Is environmental stresses. 188 00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:03.080 There's chemicals everywhere. There's chemicals in your containers and the plastic containers. You 189 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:07.159 get your BPA and it don't if it's BPA free, there's probably some other 190 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.639 chemical that the replace it. So don't store anything in plastic. When you 191 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:17.320 come back from the grocery store or the supermarket, wash it so you get 192 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.639 all your chemicals off. What you do is you put all your fruit and 193 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.919 veggies, put them in a nice big bowl, fill it up with water, 194 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:26.200 put all the fruit and veggies in there, and put baking soda in 195 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:32.360 there. Leave it for at least an hour. Then you rinse everything out, 196 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:36.399 wash it off, and you get rid of all the chemicals. Easy 197 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.480 solution. Then you store it in glass containers. So now you're getting rid 198 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.559 of pesticides and herbicides that are all on the fruit and the veggies. Now 199 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.600 to get rid of plastics, you're gonna stort in glass. It will last 200 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:53.639 longer too, it'll taste better, and you're saving the environment. I'm using 201 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:59.960 all these plastics, so you're saving your health, you're saving the environment, 202 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:06.079 saving money. Start using glass containers or stainless steel. You know, I 203 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:10.400 take my lunch every day. It's either in a stainless steel lunch container or 204 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:14.200 a glass container, and I just heat it up in my little toaster oven 205 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:19.279 at my office, and I don't it tiks about whatever. It takes five 206 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:23.880 minutes, almost the same as a microwave, But a microwave destroys the food. 207 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:29.720 It loses all the nutritional value. Microwave even destroys water. If you 208 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:34.519 microwave water and you water plants with that, those plants will die. If 209 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:40.480 you boil water and then water your plants with that, your plants will thrive 210 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:47.799 and they'll live. Microwaves destroy the nutritional value, and don't stand next to 211 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:53.039 them, especially when you're cooking microwave. Even if it's unplugged, there's still 212 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:59.119 radiation there. I don't know. I think it's one of the worst inventions 213 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:03.119 that people love. There is the microwave oven. There's no need for it. 214 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.039 You can literally heat stuff up in a nice toaster oven. You just 215 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:08.519 put it on bake, put it on warm, put it on broil, 216 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:15.599 toast it, whatever it is. You could heat it up in a toaster 217 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:22.640 oven, which is smaller than a microwave, and it doesn't kill all the 218 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:27.279 nutrients in the food. There is no need for a microwave. You do 219 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:32.720 not need to use a microwave anymore. We have to go back to the 220 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:37.319 old waves where everything was fresh. You need to eat all your food's fresh. 221 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:42.279 That's why I like the Amish country. Everything's fresh. There's no such 222 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:48.839 thing as you know they're leftovers. It's fresh that day. They pick it 223 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:55.160 off that morning out of the farm. Everything's fresh, there's no preservatives, 224 00:18:55.319 --> 00:19:00.359 there's no chemicals, there's no food dies. You know, if you put 225 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:10.000 rice in the refrigerator the next day, it'll be full of mold, mold 226 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:15.039 that you can't see, which is even worse. If you get yeast infections, 227 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:21.640 if you get fungus on your nails, you have brain inflammation. A 228 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:26.039 lot of it is from mold that you eat. Everyone's looking for mold in 229 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.839 their house. Guess what you're more likely to get it from the food you 230 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:36.839 eat. Peanuts, they have a lot of mold. Rice a lot of 231 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:45.039 mold. When you cut fruit or food like onions or something, and then 232 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:52.519 you can put it in the refrigerator, not good. You're going to attract 233 00:19:52.839 --> 00:20:00.640 bad stuff. So you don't want to have all these cut up foods. 234 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.839 You want to use everything that day. Try and when you cut it up, 235 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:14.720 eat everything. Okay, don't store this food in your refrigerator too long. 236 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:18.799 It's not good and you can get mold in the house. If you 237 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:23.400 have water leaks. Someone like, yeah, you probably have mold. But 238 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.839 if your systems are working, then they're gonna get rid of the mold. 239 00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:33.079 That's the key. You have all these systems. You have your stomach and 240 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:38.559 intestines to poop out the bad stuff. You know. So let's say if 241 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:45.559 you have this leftover rice and you eat in this, you know indivisible mold 242 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:53.319 that you can't see, your gut should release the stomach acid that'll kill it, 243 00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:56.519 and these bacteria that'll kill it, and then it, you know, 244 00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.200 sends it through your intestines, breaks it down so you can poop it out 245 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:07.480 out of your colon. So even if you are eating mold, if you 246 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:12.519 have good systems with no inflammation, that mold is contained and eliminated properly through 247 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:22.519 your bowel movements or through your lungs and you cough it out or your boogers, 248 00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:29.920 you sneeze it out, or through your urine you pee it out, 249 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:37.279 or through your menstruation you bleed it out, or through your eczema, acne 250 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:44.599 or hives. You get it out through your skin, or through your armpits 251 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:51.559 where you sweat it out, or through your earwax where you get it rid 252 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.839 of it that way, out of your ears or your tears, where you 253 00:21:55.839 --> 00:22:03.680 get rid of it through your eyes. We have all these ways to detoxify, 254 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:11.119 whether you're exposed to mold or heavy metals. We're always exposed to heavy 255 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.960 metals, whether it's the lead in the old paint or in the water, 256 00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.599 or you got the fluoride at the dentist or the toothpaste or in the water, 257 00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:32.480 or you got mercury in your fillings or in the fish, or you 258 00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:37.319 got arsenic and the brown rice in the apple juice. So we have these 259 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:44.319 chemicals, we have these heavy metals, Aluminum, aluminiums in the air, 260 00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:48.160 aluminiums in medicine. You got aluminum foil, aluminum cans, aluminum pans. 261 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:55.559 So just like we want you to get stainless steel container, we also want 262 00:22:55.559 --> 00:23:02.759 you to get stainless steel cookware or stainless steel water bottle. The only two 263 00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:06.559 water bottle should be glass water bottle or stainless steel water bottle. You have 264 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:11.920 to reduce all your chemicals because if your systems aren't working properly, you're not 265 00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.200 gonna get rid of it. Now with your mercury and your teeth, you're 266 00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.640 only gonna get rid of those fillings if there's a leakage. You don't want 267 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:22.319 to open up the Pandora's box and say, oh, I got these old 268 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:25.359 mercury fillings. I don't want them get into my bloodstream. Let me take 269 00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:30.480 them out because if they're well contained, then you might cause your own leak. 270 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:34.240 Sometimes that's what happens with a biopsy. So a lot of people see, 271 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.720 oh, I have the cyst where there's tumor, let me do a 272 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:42.720 biopsy. And during the biopsy, the doctor ends up popping the cyst, 273 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:48.519 and now if it is cancer, it's spread everywhere. So you got to 274 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:55.720 be careful with biopsies because sometimes the biopsy can pop the tumor and can be 275 00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.119 causing the tumor to spread. And now instead of being stage one one cancer, 276 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:08.000 you're at stage three cancer because the doctor popped the tumor and now with 277 00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:14.160 the biopsy, everything's spread everywhere. So when you're doing a medical procedure, 278 00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:18.359 you always measure the risk versus the reward. So is it worth the risk 279 00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:22.359 to get that reward? So you ask yourself when you're taking a medicine, 280 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.880 is the risk versus the reward? When you're doing a surgery, what's the 281 00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.519 risk versus the reward? When you're doing any type of treatment, what's the 282 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.839 risk versus the reward? At Caplin Brain and body we pride ourselves in doing 283 00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:41.799 therapies that are very low risk and very high reward.

Welcome back to boost your brain power. I'm your 296 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:52.799 host, doctor Eric Kaplan, talking about how to reduce chemicals. So when 297 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:56.440 you're cooking, you want to cook with stainless steel. When you're storing, 298 00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:03.839 you want to store in glass continent or stainless steel containers. When you're drinking 299 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.720 water, you want to drink out of a glass water bottle or a stainless 300 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:12.839 steel water bottle. Keep it simple. We're talking about glass or stainless steel. 301 00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:19.039 Those are the two safest storage for food, safest way to cook, 302 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:26.119 safest way to drink water. Stop buying those plastic water bottles. Those are 303 00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:32.319 not good. They're not quality water, usually acidic water instead of alkaline water. 304 00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.799 Plus, you're gonna get all the chemicals the plastics that are gonna leak 305 00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:41.279 into the water, and definitely don't use it more than once you know those 306 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.880 plastics. You know, the average American eats about a credit card size worth 307 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:51.079 of plastic a year. We want to reduce all the plastics. So if 308 00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:56.160 you follow my instructions about storing and drinking water, then you're gonna reduce your 309 00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:02.440 plastic intake. Good for the environment, saves you, save your health. 310 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:07.680 It's a good combination. We like that, all right, So where else 311 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:14.519 can we get some of these chemicals. It's in our cleaning stuff, all 312 00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:22.880 the bleaches, all the laundry detergents, the dishwashing detergent, the dryer sheets, 313 00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:33.079 the fabric softener, all the perfumes and the fabrize and the glade plugins, 314 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:37.440 and all those toxic smells, all the perfumes, and the hair dyes 315 00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:42.599 and the nail polish and the makeups, all these sun tan low shs, 316 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:52.480 and all these moisturizers and soaps and shampoos and conditioners. They're everywhere. Almost 317 00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:57.480 all these products that we buy are toxic. That's why you should never even 318 00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:03.519 go into CBS. You're not gonna get anything healthy there. There's nothing safe 319 00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:10.000 in the CBS or the Duyne read or the right aid. Stay out of 320 00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:14.880 those places. Most of your cleaning stuff can be found in natural products such 321 00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:21.720 as vinegar, you know, hydrogen peroxide, lemon, tea tree oil. 322 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:27.319 You know, there's so many good natural products, baking soda, you know 323 00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:32.279 that can help you clean your body. You know, baking soda could be 324 00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:37.559 deodorant and help you clean your teeth. You know, it's like there are 325 00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.920 so many tea tree oil is a good natural antibiotic. You don't need to 326 00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:48.039 use all these chemicals. You can use coconut oil as instead of mouthwash. 327 00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:52.440 You know, when you get toothpaste, get the fluoride free toothpaste. You 328 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.400 know, fluoride is one of the worst neurotoxins, and they're putting in their 329 00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.160 toothpaste, they're putting in the water. Gotta be careful. Get a water 330 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.039 filter that filters out the fluoride. So the best thing to do is get 331 00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:08.319 a high duty water filter, and then you could add electrolytes. You can 332 00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:14.079 add with pink Kumelion salt or celtic salt has a lot of minerals in it. 333 00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:17.079 So if you get distilled water that's got nothing in it, that's okay, 334 00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:18.960 but then you got to add the salt to get the minerals. If 335 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.880 you don't have the salt, distilled water is more acidic. You want to 336 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:29.279 drink alkaline water well, so those plastic water bottles are alkaline or sorry, 337 00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:33.200 or acidic. We want to create alkaline water, so that's why you get 338 00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.960 maybe reverse osmosis, add some electrolytes, get the distilled the electrolytes. Get 339 00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:42.279 a high duty water filter that attaches under the sink for your shower head too. 340 00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:45.440 You know, we want to reduce those chemicals, especially if you have 341 00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:48.279 an old house, old pipes, you know, there's gonna be a lot 342 00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.759 of chemicals in there, so you know, if you're even if you're drinking 343 00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:56.160 clean water, what about your shower and what about when you're brushing your teeth 344 00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.440 and you know all that other stuff that you're exposed. You're washing your hands, 345 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.319 you're washing your face at the sink. So you really want to get 346 00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:08.400 a good high duty water filter and to make sure that you're not causing any 347 00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:17.359 more disruption and inflammation that we need. Nowhere else can you get inflammation from 348 00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:22.279 just a poor diet. Dairy products very bad? You know. I had 349 00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:26.279 a patient today ask me about, you know, how come milk is so 350 00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:33.000 bad? You know. He was reading an article that that pasteurized in milk 351 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:41.200 is all processed and it's better to eat whole you know, organic raw milk, 352 00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:47.519 And I said, yes, that could be true, but it's not 353 00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:51.680 meant to have milk at all, So you're choosing the lesser of two evils. 354 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:53.119 He said, what do you mean? Well, I said, first 355 00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:57.400 of all, milk is for babies. Are you a baby? He's like 356 00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:03.759 no, right, So milk is biologically made for babies. Babies cannot eat 357 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:10.119 whole foods. Their digestive system isn't ready for that yet. That's why mothers 358 00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:15.799 produce milk so they can get all their nutrients because the mother eats the fruits 359 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.599 and the veggies and breaks down all those nutrients. Now it's going to be 360 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:23.000 in the mother's milk, so that when the baby drinks the mother's milk, 361 00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:29.920 now she's getting or he's getting all the nutrients that they need. Milk is 362 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.599 for babies. Milk is not for adults, so there's no reason for adults 363 00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:41.440 to be drinking milk. Number two, cow's milk is made for baby calves. 364 00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:48.000 Human milk is made for baby humans. Sheep milk is made for baby 365 00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:52.960 sheep, and goats milk is made for baby goats. Human stomachs are very 366 00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:57.799 different than cow's stomach. We have different types of chambers, different enzymes, 367 00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:02.480 different bacteria, we have different processes, different amounts of acid and bio, 368 00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:09.599 different parastosis contractions, different valves. It's not the same gut, so we 369 00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:15.000 cannot expect a human gut to break down cow's milk because it is very different. 370 00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:19.480 The cow's milk is made for the baby cows. So number one, 371 00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:23.039 adults shouldn't be drinking milk to begin with, and number two, humans shouldn't 372 00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:29.599 be drinking another species milk. We have different stomachs and cannot digest milk. 373 00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:35.119 There's been no research that shows that milk keeps your bone strong, prevents osteoporosis 374 00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:39.319 or osteopenia. That doesn't happen, doesn't exist. Now, there's lots of 375 00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:45.519 research that shows milk causes inflammation, congestion. It's even been linked to Parkinson's 376 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:52.559 disease autoimmune disease. So milk has a lot of research showing how bad it 377 00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:58.799 is and very little research showing any benefit. All right, there's just a 378 00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:02.400 big marketing gimmick. They hire these celebrities with their milk mustaches and getting the 379 00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:07.079 schools, getting in the marketing and all the commercials and in the TV shows 380 00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:12.359 to show, hey, milk does a body good. It's a marketing scam. 381 00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:15.279 It's just the dairy industry trying to make a buck off of you. 382 00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:20.799 But don't give them your money. The only thing to drink is water. 383 00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:27.240 You want to eat food and drink water. Keep your health simple. Do 384 00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:32.680 it like they did for the thousands of years before modern times, where you 385 00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:37.039 would be a hunter gatherer. Pick your fruit, pick your veggies, catch 386 00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:42.359 your meat, catch your eggs, grab your eggs, catch your fish, 387 00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:49.599 whatever it is. But there is no bread tree. There is no you 388 00:33:49.640 --> 00:34:02.519 know milk bush. Right, there is no you know tree. There's no 389 00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:09.079 such thing like anything in a box or in a bag or in a can, 390 00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:15.960 anything processed, anything with preservatives. It's toxic. We gotta stay away 391 00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:22.039 from it. If you can't pick it directly from the earth, stay away 392 00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:30.000 from it. Nothing in boxes, bags, hands, nothing stored, nothing 393 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.760 you could keep in your closet for ten months. Those are not the foods 394 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:42.000 that are healthy. Those are inflammatory. Dairy products are inflammatory. Bread products 395 00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:50.519 are inflammatory. Sugar is inflammatory. Sugar replacements are inflammatory. Corn American corn 396 00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:59.119 American soy, they're inflammatory. Alcohol. Stop drinking so much. You don't 397 00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:06.400 need all that alcohol. Okay. I know so many people that just drink 398 00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:08.239 every single night, and they say, oh, I just have a glass 399 00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:13.039 of wine every night. Oh I just have a couple of beers after dinner. 400 00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:19.920 Don't get in those habits. It's like Pavlov's dog. Every night you 401 00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:23.679 have that glass of wine. The brain doesn't like that. So start breaking 402 00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:29.000 those habits. Show yourself, Hey, you know what, I don't have 403 00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:35.559 to drink every night. I don't need that dessert every night. The reason 404 00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:40.360 your body crave it is because you've been doing it for so long. So 405 00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:46.320 start creating new habits, good healthy habits. It's the perfect time to do 406 00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:51.000 it. Is a new year, you know. Fine, if you're at 407 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:54.039 a wedding, you're at a party. Fine, you have a couple of 408 00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:58.400 drinks, not a big deal. I want you to enjoy your life. 409 00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:05.239 But I don't want you at home every night drinking with dinner. That does 410 00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:09.559 not make sense. Okay, do not do anything every day, especially alcohol, 411 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:16.000 especially coffee, especially sugar. But even the healthy foods. I don't 412 00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:21.480 want you eating chicken and broccoli every day. That's not good either. I 413 00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.480 don't want you having kale every day. That's not good. I don't want 414 00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:29.880 you having eggs every day. It's not good. So not only is it 415 00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:31.280 not good to have the bad stuff every day, it's not good to have 416 00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:37.480 the good stuff every day. Right. Variety is the key, having all 417 00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:43.760 the different colors of the rainbow. Eat different foods. Maybe chicken on Monday, 418 00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:51.199 eggs on Tuesday, fish on Wednesday, turkey on Thursday, burger on 419 00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:55.880 Friday. So you don't have to have meat with every meal. And if 420 00:36:55.920 --> 00:37:00.559 you're a vegetarian that's great, that too. Just make sure you eat each 421 00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:05.519 color of the rainbow to get all your nutrients. If you're a vegetarian, 422 00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:08.320 you don't need to say, oh, I gotta take iron pills and be 423 00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:13.159 twelve pills. Now you gotta look at your blood work, see what you're 424 00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:15.599 deficient. If you eat all the colors of the raining and you're good absorption, 425 00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.000 you're not gonna be deficient in anything. So you could be a vegetarian 426 00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:23.440 that's healthy. You could be a meat eater that's healthy. But just stop 427 00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:29.280 eating the processed food that is gonna make you unhealthy. Stay away from the 428 00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:35.679 boxes, the cans, the bags, Stay away from the preservatives, the 429 00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:42.320 sweeteners, the artificial sweeteners. Live as close to Earth as possible. That 430 00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:47.280 will reduce your inflammation. Then you'll function better, feel better, and live 431 00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:52.280 a better life.

Start waking up early in the morning, 448 00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:21.599 exercising, food prepping, do some oil pulling. Take some coconut oil, 449 00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:24.079 swish it around in your mouth for thirty seconds first thing in the morning. 450 00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:31.480 Drink water on an empty stomach. Add some pinkamele in salt or some Celtic 451 00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:37.639 salt for the minerals. Getting that good morning routine. Every morning you wake 452 00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:45.360 up, you do the oil pulling, you exercise, do a little meditation, 453 00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:50.960 write a couple things in your gratitude journal. Call that that power hour. 454 00:39:52.760 --> 00:40:00.000 Get your body going. And then after you exercise, take a shot 455 00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:06.159 and with cold. Good for your circulation, good for your nervous system. 456 00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:08.599 And your shower and cold for thirty seconds. Just let's splash on your face. 457 00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:14.599 It's not enjoyable, but it's very healthy. It's good for your skin, 458 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:19.039 it's good for your heart, for your circulation, for your brain, 459 00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:23.639 good for your energy, for your focus. A lot of people say, 460 00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:28.239 hey, how can improve my memory? My focus? The three most important 461 00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:31.800 things to improve memory and focus novelty. So you got to do new things. 462 00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:36.360 Learn a new instrument and learn a new language, go to new places, 463 00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:42.400 meet new people, take a new route to work. Just do something 464 00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:45.039 new. I don't care if it's just switching your hand when you eat, 465 00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:52.480 but you got to do new things every day. Do something new. Novelty 466 00:40:52.559 --> 00:41:00.280 is key. Then activation. You need to challenge your brain. You know 467 00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:06.639 you try and memorize people's phone numbers or memorize your grocery list. Try and 468 00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:10.800 you know, don't use Google and YouTube so much. The technology makes our 469 00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:15.559 brains worse. Don't rely on the technology. Use your brain. You use 470 00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:19.239 it or you lose it. And then you need fuel delivery, the proper 471 00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:22.119 nutrition, which is all the colors in the rainbow, propper water, half 472 00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:27.760 your body weight announces, and the proper oxygen. You need more oxygen, 473 00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:32.840 so you gotta oxygen. You want to inhale for four seconds, hold it 474 00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:37.360 for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds. So the key to getting 475 00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:42.400 more oxygen is to have double the exhale versus the inhale. That way you 476 00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:46.480 get rid of the carbon dioxide which creates an acidic environment, plus you increase 477 00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:52.119 space for more oxygen in your lungs. So those are the three most important 478 00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:59.280 things for brain functioners. Novelty, activation and fuel delivery. Those are the 479 00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:04.280 big three to improve your memory and focus. Right, I have a book 480 00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:07.920 you could call my office and get it or you could get it on Amazon 481 00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:13.920 called Boost your Brain Power, a Guide to Improving your Memory and Focus. 482 00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:21.280 It's the seventeen most important strategies to implement immediately to improve your brain and that 483 00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:25.880 will get your memory better, your focus better, and in turn prevent dementia, 484 00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:34.000 Alzheimer's, and many other neurologic and physical conditions as well. So that 485 00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:37.119 you know, there's lots of ways to improve your memory. As far as 486 00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:42.199 your immune system, you know, we said you gotta go to bed early. 487 00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:45.920 You got to reduce your stress levels. You gotta make sure you drink 488 00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:52.000 your water, no holiday partying. Got to get your vitamin D. You 489 00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:58.400 know, most people doctors want your vitamin D levels above twenty or around thirty. 490 00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:00.320 I like it more than that. I like it fifty sixty seventy. 491 00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:06.039 And to get there, I got to personally take ten thousand IU because I'm 492 00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:09.719 inside all day. I'm in a northern latitude. Now, the vitamin D 493 00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:13.599 is very important. A lot of people take vitamin D and doesn't get absorbed 494 00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:16.679 because it's not in fat, doesn't have vitamin K two, it doesn't got 495 00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:23.719 the A and the E and the biotin and the phosphorus and the magnesium and 496 00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:29.920 the biotin and all this other stuff to help with the absorption. So most 497 00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:34.360 of those ds that you'll get, ninety nine percent of the vitamin d's aren't 498 00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:37.199 formulating properly and don't get absorbed properly. So don't waste your time and money. 499 00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:40.960 You know, you can contact us and we'll get your good quality vitamin 500 00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:45.119 D as well. That's gonna boost your mood, it's gonna boost your immune 501 00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:49.079 system, your brain function, help prevent Alzheimer's, help prevent you getting from 502 00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:52.960 COVID, help you keep your thyroid healthy. I mean, vitamin D is 503 00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:59.840 a hormone. It's the most important, you know, nutritional supplement you can 504 00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:02.840 take and should take because almost everyone in New York and New Jersey era is 505 00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:07.760 deficient in vitamin D. Because even if you are going outside a lot right 506 00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:12.079 now, you're gonna be covered up in your coat and your pants and you're 507 00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:15.679 not gonna get a lot of exposure to the sun. So most people do 508 00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:21.280 need to supplement, especially if you're coming down south. Let's say, if 509 00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:28.480 you're Dominican or Puerto Rican or Mexican, you're Indian or African or someplace close 510 00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:30.960 to the equator, and then you move to New York or New Jersey, 511 00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:38.679 your genes require more vitamin D because you have certain things in your skin melanin 512 00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:44.119 that are gonna reflect the vitamin D it's not gonna absorb it properly, so 513 00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:47.719 you need more of vitamin D. And it's been even linked to people who 514 00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:53.519 move from these southern latitudes move up to these northern latitudes get neurological disorders, 515 00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:59.639 especially MS. Multiple sclerosis, that's a big one. It's an autoimmune disease, 516 00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:05.719 big time causes vitamin D deficient. But also with autoimmune disease, you 517 00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:09.519 have to avoid if you do have MS or any autoimmune disease such as hashimotos 518 00:45:09.599 --> 00:45:20.719 or siliac or schograins or rheumatoid authritis or fibromaya alga or Graves disease, hashimotos 519 00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:29.679 or psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritiss lupus. These are all autoimmune disease. There's six 520 00:45:29.719 --> 00:45:35.360 foods that you've got to avoid for autoimmune disease dairy, gluten, corn, 521 00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:40.360 soy, coffee, and alcohol. Those are the big six for autoimmune disease 522 00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:45.559 that you would have to avoid to function better, feel better, and live 523 00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:50.880 a better life. But all autoimmune disease is reversible if you do all the 524 00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:54.280 right things, but you need to be supervised by a doctor to make sure 525 00:45:54.320 --> 00:46:00.880 you do it appropriately. But most doctors you know they're gonna prescribe medicine for 526 00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:04.760 these autoimmune diseases. They might, you know, give you thyroid medication if 527 00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:08.719 you have hashimotos, or they might give you immunosuppressants, or you know, 528 00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:13.280 steroids or antibiotics or a lot of you know, they just kind of throw 529 00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:15.880 the pharmacy at you. But you know, my approach is very different. 530 00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:20.119 So I'm not the doctor that writes the prescription. If you want prescription pills, 531 00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:23.519 don't come to me. You want a quick fix surgery, don't come 532 00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:29.119 to me. I am more of a holistic, natural, integrated doctor that's 533 00:46:29.159 --> 00:46:32.719 going to get to the root cause of your health issues rather than just try 534 00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:37.519 and hide symptoms. Okay, now that's important. So if you're looking for 535 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:40.679 a permanent fix, and you're willing to put in the work and change maybe 536 00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:45.280 some bad habits and create new good habits and take responsibility for your health, 537 00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:49.719 I'm the doctor for you. If you want the doctor to just fix you 538 00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:53.119 and give you some pill or some mandator take out some organ, that's not 539 00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:57.800 me. But if you want a permanent solution by getting to the root cause, 540 00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:00.360 come to me. And how do we get through the aus? The 541 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:04.760 first step is to do a proper evaluation. One of the best tests is 542 00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:09.400 called a q EEG brain mapping. A q E brain mapping is a very 543 00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:14.039 easy test. There's no radiation, there's no risk because remember we always measure 544 00:47:14.039 --> 00:47:16.519 the risk versus the reward. There's gonna be high reward, low risk, 545 00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:22.840 no radiation, no claustrophobia. You just gotta wear a cap. It's got 546 00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:25.800 electrodes attached to it and it measures all your brain waves. These brain waves, 547 00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:29.920 the alpha, the beta, the theta, the delta, they're gonna 548 00:47:29.920 --> 00:47:32.000 tell us. Do you have troubles with memory? Long term memory, working 549 00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:37.000 memory, sequential memory, short term memory? Do you have troubles with focus, 550 00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:42.199 motivation, organization, planning, executive functions. Do you have troubles with 551 00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.440 language? Do you stuttered? Can't you think of the right words? Do 552 00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:50.840 you forget names and places? Do you have sensory issues tonights? Do you 553 00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:54.639 have floaters in the eyes? Light sensitivity? Did you lose your smell or 554 00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:59.880 taste? Do you have burning mouth syndrome? Do you have issues with heavy 555 00:47:59.880 --> 00:48:04.599 metal poisoning concussion? Do you have a thyroid problem in testinal inflammation? Do 556 00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:07.519 you have anger aggression? Do you have difficulties, shifting tests. Do you 557 00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:12.480 have balance problems, do you have headaches or dizzyness? Do you have any 558 00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:17.760 sleeping difficulties, insomnia, sleep deprivation, do you have low dopamine or acetylcholine? 559 00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:22.119 You know, it literally breaks down everything for you. It's an amazing 560 00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:24.920 test, highly valuable, and it gets to the root cause of where the 561 00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:30.320 problems are coming from. That test is normally five hundred dollars, but our 562 00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:35.320 gift to you for the first seven people that call, text or email, 563 00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:38.960 you could get the qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. All you 564 00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:44.119 have to do is call or text six four six two two one six seven 565 00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:49.480 three eight, or you can email info at kaplanbraininbody dot com. Now we're 566 00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:55.599 gonna give another gift, which is called a BNG or a VOG video oculography. 567 00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:00.920 This is a test where you wear these infrao AT goggles and it measures 568 00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:05.599 your different eye movements, how your eyes go up and down and left and 569 00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:07.639 right, when they go fast and slow, when they go in the light 570 00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:10.400 and the dark, when they go with the head turn and up and down, 571 00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:15.519 eyes open, eyes closed, So it tells us all these different areas 572 00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:17.880 of your brain, the different lobes and tells us the difference between the right 573 00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:22.760 side and the left side. Any balances from left to right, tells us 574 00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:25.320 which sides are overactive, which sides are underactive. Because then it's an art 575 00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:30.079 So we don't just want to take some supplement to boost your brain, but 576 00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:32.360 we want to say, okay, which areas are overactive. For those areas, 577 00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:36.920 we got to calm them down. Which areas are underactive? For those 578 00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:40.639 areas we gotta stimulate, we gotta strengthen. The VNG test is the best 579 00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:45.039 brain test for that. It tells us a lot of valuable information and will 580 00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:50.880 teach us how to fix your weak areas in a natural, holistic way without 581 00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:54.719 any drugs or surgery or any lobotomies or any electrical shock therapy. We do 582 00:49:54.719 --> 00:50:00.599 it in a completely holistic and natural way. That's called a VOG. It's 583 00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:04.360 normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people to call, text 584 00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:07.719 or email you could get the VOG also for only twenty one dollars. Just 585 00:50:07.800 --> 00:50:13.400 call a text six four six two two one sixty seven three eight or email 586 00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:17.639 info at kaplanbrainobody dot com.
