3
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:17.440
boost your brain Power. I'm your
host, doctor Eric Kaplan. Hope everyone

4
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.399
having a great day so far,
looking forward to talking about how to boost

5
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:26.839
your brain power, how to improve
your memory and focus in natural and holistic

6
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:33.679
ways without any drugs or surgeries.
So, whenever deciding what type of therapy

7
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:38.039
you want to do, you always
measure the risk versus the reward. You

8
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:42.640
always want to choose things that are
very low risk and very high reward.

9
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:48.039
There's a variety of ways to do
that, but you always have to start

10
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:55.320
off conservatively. Most things can be
fixed just with diet and exercise. So

11
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.880
the easiest way to do it,
I just call it living off the earth,

12
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.359
you know, eating food from the
earth. If you can't get it

13
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:06.519
from a tree or a bush,
or the ground or the earth itself or

14
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.359
in the water, stay away from
it. Stay away from the boxes,

15
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.799
the cans, the bags. Right, you don't see a bread tree,

16
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:23.159
there's no bagel bush, there's no
cereal plant, you know, So stay

17
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.239
away from the boxes. The cans, the bags. We don't want all

18
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:34.680
this stuff with preservatives. We don't
want all the conventional food with all the

19
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:44.000
herbicides and pesticides. Work with your
local farmers, go to the farmer's market.

20
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.480
Don't always shop in the conventional big
places, you know, like Shopbrighting,

21
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:56.439
Wagmans and Kings and all the you
know, big places that you know

22
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.920
mass produce their food. You know, there's so many farmers markets. You

23
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.159
want to eat local, and even
though the farmers that are local they might

24
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:12.039
use some pesticides and herbicides, it's
not nearly as much as if we were

25
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:19.159
getting food from one of the conventional
stores here, right. And an exercise,

26
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.840
you gotta exercise. Everybody has this
sedentary lifestyle now, so you you

27
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.080
know, you sit at home eating
breakfast, and then you sit on the

28
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.919
commute, and then you sit at
work, and then you sit on your

29
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.120
ride home, and then you sit
at the dinner table, and then you

30
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:42.520
sit on the couch and watch TV. There's too much sitting, and you

31
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:46.039
sit at the movies, you sit
at the Broadway show, you sit at

32
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:53.800
the restaurant, you sit at the
bar. Are always sitting. Sitting is

33
00:02:53.840 --> 00:03:00.599
considered the new smoking, it's causing
heart disease, obesity, diabee. If

34
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:07.719
you want to die an unhealthy life, then you do a lot of sitting.

35
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:15.719
If you want to live a vibrant
life with energy and high quality and

36
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:20.280
good memory, and you got to
exercise every day. I don't care if

37
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:27.319
it's just a walk, but do
something every day. Exercise is the key

38
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.680
to improving your health. And I
don't care what your condition is. If

39
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:38.360
you have depression, exercise helps.
If you have anxiety, exercise helps.

40
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:46.439
If you have memory problems, exercise
helps. If you have diabetes, exercise

41
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.240
helps. If you have heart disease, Exercise helps. If you have obesity,

42
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:55.520
cancer, liver disease, lung disease. Exercise helps. You have headaches,

43
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:01.479
dizziness, exercise helps. Now there
are times, you know, especially

44
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:06.400
we see a lot of concussion patients
at my office, or lime disease,

45
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:15.439
or COVID nineteen long haulers, or
people who've reacted to the vaccines and the

46
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:20.160
shots, mold exposure, lime disease. We see a lot of these patients

47
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:26.000
and sometimes if they overdo the exercise, it can aggravate their symptoms. So

48
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:30.360
it's like an art. You don't
want to exercise too little. But yes,

49
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:35.720
it is true you can exercise too
much. So it's an art of

50
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:43.959
pushing your comfort levels where your heart
starts beating and you start sweating and you're

51
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.120
breathing heavily, and so you've got
to challenge yourself, but not at the

52
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.120
same time we're gonna get all headaches
and dizziness and pass out and stuff like

53
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:58.040
that. So with everything in life, you know it's in moderation, right,

54
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.600
And when you look at your blood
work, you know you can have

55
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:05.000
too little iron, or you can
have too much iron. You could have

56
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:12.439
too little calcium, you can have
too much calcium. So be careful with

57
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:17.040
these multivitamins because you can be causing
yourself to have too much of a vitamin

58
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:24.120
that you don't need that it can
become toxic. Calcium supplements are very dangerous.

59
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.480
You know, people take these calcium
supplements just because they've reached a certain

60
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:32.959
age, or because they have osteopenia, where because they have osteoporosis, or

61
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.759
because they know I hear all these
excuses, Oh, I don't drink milk

62
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:43.360
and I need to take calcium.
Drinking milk has nothing to do with your

63
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:54.000
calcium levels. There is no scientific
evidence that shows people who drink higher levels

64
00:05:54.040 --> 00:06:00.600
of milk have higher levels of calcium. That's not true. That's just the

65
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:06.199
dairy industry, with their marketing and
hiring celebrities with their milk mustache, is

66
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:12.319
to tell you it makes your bone
strong. It's not true. There's no

67
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:18.240
research that shows taking a lot of
dairy products, consuming a lot of milk,

68
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:29.639
dairy, cheese, yogurt contributes to
a prevention of osteoporosis or osteopenia.

69
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.839
In fact, it may be the
exact opposite. I've seen more evidence the

70
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:40.800
other way, and what I mean
by that that shows the people that drink

71
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:47.480
the most amount of milk, higher
dairy products actually have a higher incidence of

72
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:53.120
osteoporosis and osteopenia. That evidence I've
actually seen. So it might be the

73
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:58.120
opposite of what everybody tells us.
All right, So milk does not do

74
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:08.680
a body good. Now, remember
dairy is for cows, all right.

75
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:14.720
So there's a couple of things you
want to take into consideration. Number One,

76
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:20.040
the only type of person that should
be drinking milk is a baby.

77
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:27.680
Adults don't need milk. Once you
start eating whole foods, there's no need

78
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:33.319
for milk. Milk is biologically made
for babies, so once you're an adult,

79
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:43.199
you don't need milk. Number two, cow's milk is biologically made for

80
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:49.240
cows, baby cows. So the
truth is, if you're not a baby

81
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:55.639
cow, you should never have any
milk products. That's ice cream, that's

82
00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:01.439
cheese, that's sour cream, cream, cheese, butter, creamy sauces,

83
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:09.519
parmesan, any milk product, it's
not just drinking milk, grabbing milk and

84
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:16.839
cereal or milk in your coffee.
It's any dairy product, you're gonna create

85
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:22.199
a reaction that's typical. It's an
autoimmune reaction where the body starts attacking itself

86
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.439
because it says, hey, I'm
not a cow. So if I eat

87
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.079
this piece of cheese or have this
little yogurt in the morning, my brain's

88
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.759
gonna be like, wait, this
doesn't make any sense. My stomach can't

89
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.039
digest this. I don't have the
same stomach as a cow. I don't

90
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.759
know the same type of chambers.
I don't know the same type of enzymes.

91
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.080
I don't know the same type of
acid and bile. This is a

92
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.159
cow. I'm a human. So
what happens is it creates autoimmune disease and

93
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.320
the body starts attacking itself, and
it may lead to a thyroid problem.

94
00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:01.799
Hormonal problems may lead to MS,
brain problems, brain memory, focus problems

95
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:07.519
main lead to skin problems. Exema, psoriasis may lead to joint pain,

96
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:15.240
rheumatoid orthoritis, fibromyalgia. It might
lead to stomach pain, siliac disease,

97
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:20.759
iridal bow syndrome, also rate of
colitis. Oh my god, it may

98
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.200
lead to lung disease. That's what
it did for me. When I was

99
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.080
drinking a lot of milk and eating
a lot of cheese and pizza and ice

100
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:33.639
cream and yogurt and cream, cheese
on the bagels, and cheese on every

101
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:43.360
sandwich, I developed severe and chronic
bronchitis. It was so severe I had

102
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.279
to get put on medicine, and
the medicine made me sick. I was

103
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:54.440
put on steroids antibiotics, and that
medicine made me throw up and made me

104
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.559
nauseous and headache. Every morning.
I would throw up on the way to

105
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.720
school, every time I walked,
anytime I played a sport, anytime I

106
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:09.360
went up the steps, I would
throw up. It was a horrible way

107
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:16.679
to lift, and I thought this
medication cannot be my cure. So I

108
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:22.320
said, what can I do since
my pediatrician does not know how to fix

109
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:28.240
my chronic bronchitis, So I went
to a health seminar. Luckily, at

110
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.799
that moment, my dad was going
on a healthcare himself. He invited me

111
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.759
to the seminar. It was called
a natural hygiene seminar, and I learned

112
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.919
about dairy products and how they cause
a lot of congestion in the lungs.

113
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.360
So it's like a light bulb went
off. So I said, when I

114
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.919
get home, I'm not having any
more dairy products. No more cheese,

115
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.679
no more cream cheese, no more
pizza, no more ice cream. And

116
00:10:54.759 --> 00:11:01.519
I quit immediately, and within a
month I cured my own bronchitis, and

117
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:07.600
I did not need to take the
steroids and antibiotics anymore because they have a

118
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:16.559
lot of side effects. Those antibiotics
can ruin your gut microbiome, and that's

119
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:22.480
gonna make me more prone to infections
later in life. So if you take

120
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:28.399
antibiotics as a kid, that's going
to ruin your immune system because now it's

121
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.039
killed off all these good bacteria.
And these good bacteria are your best defense

122
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:39.080
against bad bacteria, Your best defense
against viruses and mold and yeast and worms

123
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:46.360
and parasites is good gut microbiome,
good healthy stomach acid. So if you've

124
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:52.399
ever taken antibiotics, if you've ever
taken Tom's rollites, any anti acids,

125
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:58.399
you've given your gut and your immune
system a disservice. Now doesn't mean you

126
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:03.120
can't reverse it and get it better. And the start, you should take

127
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:09.240
probiotics. I don't like antibiotics.
I like probiotics because we want bacteria.

128
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.960
Your body has more bacteria than cells. But the idea is to have good

129
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:26.879
bacteria, not bad bacteria. So
antibiotics unfortunately kill off the good bacteria.

130
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:33.000
Probiotics supplement you with good bacteria.
Right, So if you have to take

131
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:39.840
antibiotics for an emergency situation, take
probiotics in between. Right. So,

132
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.120
most people will take antibiotics eight in
the morning at eight at night. That

133
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.000
means you got to take probiotics at
two pm in the afternoon, right in

134
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.480
the middle. Then after you're done
of whatever it is, three day,

135
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.919
five day, seven day, now
we got to take a lot of probiotics

136
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.840
after. You gotta keep changing it
up because Each bacteria has a different task,

137
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:07.039
a different job, different way it's
gotta work. So every time you

138
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.279
want to take different probiotics, don't
keep taking the same probiotics month after month

139
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.279
after month after month. I personally
change my probiotics every two months because I

140
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.320
want different bacteria. They're gonna fight
different things, they're gonna absorb different things,

141
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:26.759
they're gonna help with different things.
All Right, the bacteria is healthy

142
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:33.080
for you as long as you have
more of the good bacteria and less of

143
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:41.919
the bad bacteria. Okay, So
we want to decrease the bad bacteria increase

144
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:48.240
the good bacteria. Your body is
pretty amazing at fighting off the bad stuff.

145
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:54.519
So you wanna have good cholesterol to
fight off the bad cholesterol. You

146
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.840
want to have good bacteria to fight
off the bad bacteria. You want to

147
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:05.000
have good cholesterol and fight off the
bad cholesterol. You want to have good

148
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.159
brain cells to fight off the bad
brain cells. So we have all these

149
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.720
good things that fight off the bad
things. But everyone's just worried about the

150
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.799
bad things. All right, But
the body is amazing at healing itself.

164
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:33.240
boost your brain power. I'm your
host, Doctor Eric Kaplan. We're just

165
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.320
talking about natural ways to improve your
brain function, and the worst thing is

166
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:43.559
sitting. So what you want to
do is the twenty rule. Every twenty

167
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:52.120
minutes, you get up for twenty
seconds, you walk twenty feet and you

168
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:56.279
can also look twenty feet away for
your eyes as well, So you always

169
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.720
want to do something every twenty minutes. I don't care if it's twenty jumping

170
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:06.000
jacks, if it's twenty push ups, twenty sit ups, twenty onees,

171
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:12.679
twenty squats, twenty shoulder rolls,
or just walk twenty feet and it only

172
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:18.399
takes twenty seconds. That's the twenty
rule. Twenty minutes. You get up

173
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.840
for twenty seconds, you move your
body, and you also look twenty feet

174
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:30.159
away. These screens are bad for
our eyes. We have three dimensional eyes,

175
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.080
so our eyes are not the side
of our head where we can only

176
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.799
use one eye at a time.
They're in the front, so we could

177
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:40.799
see three dimensions. We could see
depth perception. We could figure out how

178
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.480
far away something is. Helps us
to survive, To figure out, okay,

179
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.840
how far is that lion or tiger
away from me? Or how far

180
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.639
is that chicken away from me so
I can catch it. So that depth

181
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:56.440
perception is very important for humans.
But the more we use our cell phones,

182
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:03.000
our iPads, our computers, our
TVs, all these flat screens,

183
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:08.960
the video games, it ruins our
eyes, It ruins our vision. So

184
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:15.559
you want to do eye exercises you
know you can improve your vision. You

185
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.839
know, I'm forty five years old. I used to get worse and worse

186
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:23.720
vision every year of my life.
Ever since I've been in elementary school,

187
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:32.079
I've had glasses and what happens is
every year they would get worse because I

188
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:40.440
never challenged them until I was thirty
five years old, about nine ten years

189
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:48.559
ago, and the eye doctor told
me you're gonna need vision improvements so you

190
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:49.839
can read. I said, what
are you talking about. He's like,

191
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.359
yeah, you're gonna need bifocals.
I said, what are you talking about.

192
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.200
He's like, well, you're near
sighted, but after you get to

193
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:02.440
forty, you're near vision goes away. I said, how do you know

194
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.279
that he goes That just happens with
old age. And then that triggered me

195
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:11.559
because I hate when doctors say things
get worse as you get older. I

196
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.799
don't accept that because I know for
a fact that your memory can get better

197
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.319
as you get older. I know
for a fact you could have less joint

198
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:26.000
pain as you get older. I
know for a fact your balance can improve

199
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.680
as you get older. And I
know for a fact your vision can improve

200
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.839
as you get older. You just
got to put in the effort. The

201
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:38.799
easiest exercise to do. It's called
a brock string exercise. You can order

202
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:45.079
that on Amazon. But a brock
string exercise is this little exercise where you

203
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.400
look at these different colored beads.
You know, there's red and orange and

204
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.640
yellow and green and blue, and
you look at one bead and the idea

205
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:57.880
is to see one of the colored
beads and you'll see two strings going in

206
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:02.359
and two strings going out, and
then crossing at the color bead that you

207
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.079
look at, and then you look
to the next spead, which is a

208
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.400
little bit further, and you want
to see one of those, and you

209
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.319
want to see two strings going in
and two strings going out. And you

210
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.119
do this so on and so forth, starting from near and going too far.

211
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:19.880
If you do this every day and
you keep changing the distance, getting

212
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:26.400
closer, getting further, then you
can actually strengthen your eyes and improve your

213
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:32.599
vision. I used to wear glasses
one hundred percent of my waking hours.

214
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.440
Then after I started doing this,
I started wearing them ninety percent and my

215
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.960
vision improved. And then I went
back to the eye doctor. He said,

216
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.240
oh, your vision improved. I
said, that's right. I've been

217
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.599
doing eye exercises. He didn't believe
me, and he goes, oh,

218
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.480
that can happen. Then I went
back the next year and then it improved

219
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.160
again, and he still didn't believe
me. He says, Okay, I

220
00:19:55.200 --> 00:20:00.279
need a new eye doctor. But
he didn't care. My eye doctors don't

221
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:04.319
care. They don't want to know
how to improve your eyes. That's not

222
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:08.960
their job. Their job is to
figure out what glasses will you know fit

223
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:12.480
you perfectly so you can see the
best. That's their job. That's what

224
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:17.559
they're trained to do. They're not
trained in how to teach you how to

225
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:22.480
fix your eyes on your own right. So for that you got to go

226
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.680
to someone who's trained in that.
That's what I do. So there's lots

227
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:33.240
of different eye exercises. There's brock
string exercises, there's vestibular ocular reflex exercises,

228
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:41.240
there's optokinetic reflex exercises. There's times
zero times one times two viewing.

229
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:47.599
There's visual pursuits and visual scads and
kind of convergence and divergence. There's all

230
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:52.640
different eye exercises. But the key
is to figure out which eye exercises are

231
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:57.359
most weak on you. And once
we figure out your weakness then we could

232
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:03.400
focus on which exercises are going to
give you the best results. There's six

233
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.279
different eye muscles and they do different
things. Some go left, some go

234
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:11.359
right, some go up, some
go down. They move your eyes in

235
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:18.160
all different ways, and everybody has
different weaknesses, so we got to figure

236
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:23.640
out through a neurologic evaluation where your
weakness is. Now. Eyes problems can

237
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:30.279
also cause trouble with focus, difficulty
with reading, headaches, dizziness, memory

238
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:34.559
problems. Your eyes are a window
into your nervous system. You can even

239
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:40.279
look in the eyes and see if
there's heart disease or liver disease. You

240
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:41.720
look at your arteries. You can
look at the color, see if it's

241
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:47.680
yellow. You look how your eyes
respond to light, and see, hey,

242
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:49.160
are you in stress mode? You
in that fight or flight mode?

243
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:55.359
You could see you know how you
constrict and dilate, how your brain stem

244
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:59.880
is. Can analyze all the different
lobes of your brain. The eyes of

245
00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:03.240
the window into the brain. And
what I suggest, if you're interested,

246
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:10.720
is to do a full eye and
neurological valuation. It's on video nestography VNG,

247
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.359
or another word is VOG video oculography. That's another way of saying it.

248
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:19.559
This is one of the best tests. It's this eye test, and

249
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:22.839
it literally tells us if there's imbalances
of your left brain and your right brain.

250
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:29.000
It's gonna tell us this which areas
are overactive, which areas are underactive.

251
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.119
It's gonna tell us a is there
a reason that you have this depression

252
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.079
or anxiety, or insomnia, or
the balance problems or the headaches. So

253
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:42.200
it gets to the root cause of
your neurologic condition. It's not invasive,

254
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:48.119
there's no radiation, there's no risk, you don't have to sit in some

255
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.519
small tube. All you gotta do
is wear these goggles kind of look like

256
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:59.359
you know swimming goggles. You follow
these little red lights that go left and

257
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:02.720
right and up and down with a
head turn and in the light and in

258
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:07.480
the dark. And based on these
different eye movements, we'll be able to

259
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:14.920
analyze your brain and tell us which
areas are underactive and that can cause you

260
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:23.559
know, poor focus, depression,
low motivation for organization for social skills,

261
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:32.519
fatigue, malaise. That's underactive areas. But it also tell us if there's

262
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:38.640
overactive areas going to be more anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, impulse control,

263
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:48.039
anger, aggression, troubles with focus, easily distracted, can't handle big environments,

264
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:53.839
tonight's ringing in the ears, floaters
in the eyes, light sensitivity,

265
00:23:53.960 --> 00:24:00.000
hard to drive at night from the
reflection of the lights. Those are overact

266
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:04.200
active areas could even be digestive problems, you know, not having bowel movements

267
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:10.240
every day, or sleeping difficulties.
Insomnia are mind racing in the middle of

268
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:12.880
the night or getting up to pee
two or three times every night. It's

269
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:21.359
overactive, muscle tension, neck pain, back pain, muscle spasm, inflammation,

270
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:26.640
overactive. The VNG picks this all
up. It's normally five hundred dollars,

271
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:33.000
but for the first seven people to
call, text or email you could

272
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:37.359
get the VNG for only twenty one

290
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:08.119
dot com. Hello, and welcome
back to boost your brain power. I'm

291
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:15.079
your host, doctor Eric Kaplan.
So we're talking about how to improve your

292
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:21.000
brain function and improve your memory in
a natural and holistic way. Talked about

293
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:29.000
exercise, We talked about getting up
every twenty minutes. Now, a lot

294
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:34.480
of people don't know this, but
they're trying to change the name of Alzheimer's

295
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:42.880
disease to diabetes type three because it's
a combination of diabetes type one and diabetes

296
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:51.640
type two. Diabetes type one is
an autoimmune condition. That's when the body's

297
00:26:51.680 --> 00:27:00.559
attacking itself. We explain that dairy
products can aggravate autoimmune conditions. Uten can

298
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:08.039
aggravate autoimmune condition. Now, gluten
can be found everywhere and cereals and bread,

299
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:15.920
bagels, crackers. It's everywhere,
you know, all the candies,

300
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:22.440
the cakes, the pastries, the
croissants, the muffins, it's everywhere.

301
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:29.680
In the noodles and all the grains, all those processed foods, all the

302
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.319
snacks. It's full of gluten.
When you're out to a restaurant, they're

303
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:38.720
eating lots of gluten. You don't
even realize it. Now, this gluten

304
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:44.839
creates autoimmune condition. Now, just
because something's gluten free doesn't mean it's healthy.

305
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:47.680
Right, So you don't want to
eat gluten. But you don't want

306
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:51.680
to eat gluten free either, because
the gluten free foods are usually full of

307
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:53.519
some other crap to make it taste
good. Or you know, have a

308
00:27:53.519 --> 00:28:00.160
good texture or some glue to keep
it together. There's some artificial flavoring or

309
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.119
whatever it may be. So remember
what we said about before is to stay

310
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:06.960
away from the boxes, the cans
in the bags. So when you go

311
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.359
to the supermarket, you stay on
the outside. That's where everything's fresh,

312
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.359
the fresh fruits and vegetables, and
you got your fresh eggs and meats and

313
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:19.680
fishes. It's all on the outside. But we also said go to farmers

314
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:23.200
market, you know, meet your
local farmers so that you know how the

315
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:27.240
stuff's raised, where it's coming from. All right, So we want to

316
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:34.720
make sure that we eat very healthy
and avoid all autoimmune foods so we don't

317
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:42.039
get diabetes type one autoimmune disease.
So the big foods are dairy, gluten,

318
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:51.359
corn, soy, coffee, alcohol, Those are the big sex.

319
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.720
If you don't want autoimmune disease,
those are the six foods you got to

320
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:03.960
stay away from. I'll say it
again. Dairy, gluten, corn,

321
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:14.160
soy, coffee, and alcohol.
Those are the big six. Diabetes type

322
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:22.559
two that is more due to the
sedentary lifestyle and a lot of carbohydrates,

323
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.359
a lot of sugar, So you
want to stay away from lemonade, iced

324
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:33.599
tea juices. You want to stay
away from soda. You want to stay

325
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:41.160
away from all the rice and the
potatoes, all the white foods, the

326
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:48.000
flour, the bread, the sugar, all the carbi stuff, the starchy

327
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.960
stuff, oatmeal. That's not good. We're trying to get rid of diabetes

328
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:57.519
type two, and we say got
to exercise minimum twenty minutes a day,

329
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:03.039
and you to do the twenty rule. Get up every twenty minutes, move

330
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:08.400
your body for twenty seconds. Now, another important thing that helps with diabetes

331
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:14.240
is intermittent fasting. And that's where
you only eat eight hours and then you

332
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:22.359
sleep eight hours and you fast sixteen
hours. So the best way to do

333
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:27.039
it is eat from ten am to
six pm, and then you fast from

334
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:32.799
six pm to ten am. Then
you go to sleep from ten pm to

335
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:37.559
six am. That way, it's
set up perfectly. So you have four

336
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.240
hours after your last meal before bedtime. Four hours is plenty of time to

337
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:45.720
digest your food, break everything down, absorb the nutrients so that when you

338
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:51.319
lie down for bed there's nothing left
in there. You're not gonna get acid

339
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:56.480
reflux, gird. You're not gonna
have a lot of times where you're getting

340
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:59.480
up in the middle of the night
to pee. Most people have to pee

341
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:03.400
in the middle of night night it
is because you eat too late. It's

342
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:08.839
not necessarily because you drink water too
late, So eating at night will aggravate

343
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:17.319
it as well. All right,
other things that are important for diabetes type

344
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:23.640
two is to reduce stress. Stress
will make everything worse. If your vegus

345
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:30.240
nerve isn't working, that controls your
pancreas, and if your vegus nerve is

346
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:34.279
working, that controls your hormones and
your cortisol. So a lot of times

347
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:40.680
we have to relax your nervous system. One way to do it is through

348
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:48.960
gargling. Another way is through humming
or singing really loud, or just one

349
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:52.920
big swallow. Get a bunch of
saliva on your tongue and do a big

350
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:59.039
swallow. Helps with the vagus nerve. Those are just a couple of things

351
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.119
you can do at home to get
you out of that stress mode. The

352
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:09.200
more relaxed you are, the better
your brain functions. So you always want

353
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:14.319
to make sure that you do the
right things to relax your nervous system.

354
00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:20.000
A lot of people do meditation.
Meditation's great, however, you've got to

355
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.759
make sure that you can meditate.
So a lot of people say, hey,

356
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:27.039
I'm not going to even try to
meditate because I can never do it.

357
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:30.720
Well, what you got to do
is you got to start with just

358
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:37.119
a thirty second meditation. Everybody could
do a thirty second meditation. And when

359
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:43.720
I say a thirty secondmentation, I
call it the relax technique. And what

360
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:49.319
you do is just imagine you close
your eyes and just imagine all the muscles

361
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.960
melting down in your body, just
relaxing. And I start at the top

362
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.039
of my head and I say relax, and I relax those muscles, and

363
00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:00.200
then I go to my forehead,
relax, Relax those muscles. Then I

364
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:05.640
go to my temples, relax.
I'm saying this internally. It's my mantra.

365
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:09.720
I relax my eyes, relax my
cheeks, relax my nose, my

366
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:15.279
mouth, my chin, my neck. So I pick thirty spots and one

367
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:20.680
second each spot. It only takes
thirty seconds to do a meditation. And

368
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:22.000
then when you get good at that, it say okay, now I'm gonna

369
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:27.519
bump it up to forty five seconds. And when you get to get that,

370
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:31.920
you do it up to a minute. But everybody can do thirty seconds,

371
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:35.920
and then once you get good used
to that, then you can do

372
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:39.720
forty five and you just do it
gradually. So just make little micro increments,

373
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:45.480
little improvements, one percent every day. But everyone can meditate for thirty

374
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:52.119
seconds. Everyone can get off your
butt for thirty seconds. Everyone can run

375
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:55.440
down the block for thirty seconds every
day. You can do a lot of

376
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:59.599
things for thirty seconds. You can
read one page of your book for thirty

377
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:02.480
seconds. You could take thirty seconds
to write three things you're grateful for.

378
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:07.559
You could do thirty seconds to do
an eye exercise to stop looking at your

379
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:10.360
screen and look further away. You
could do thirty seconds of push ups,

380
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:15.840
thirty seconds of sit ups, thirty
seconds of squats. You could do a

381
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.519
lot in thirty second increments, all
right. So when people say, oh,

382
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:23.239
I don't have time to do that, you got thirty seconds. You

383
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:29.760
could do almost everything you want to. You just choose not to. You'd

384
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:34.360
rather spend three or four hours watching
the football playoffs. You got three or

385
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:37.760
four hours to do that. But
you don't have thirty seconds to run outside

386
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:40.519
the end of the block, all
right. You could do a thirty second

387
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:44.559
sprint and then you walk a little
bit, thirty second sprint, walk a

388
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:46.199
little bit, but I want you
to get your heart racing. I want

389
00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:52.119
you to start sweating. That's going
to prove your brain and bodies function.

390
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:55.519
You're gonna move your body. You
use it or you lose it. You

391
00:34:55.559 --> 00:35:00.000
want to prevent Alzheimer's, you want
to prevent dementia. Exercise every day.

392
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:07.119
Find something that you like to do, whether it's dancing, sport, tennis,

393
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:09.559
basketball, soccer. A lot of
people playing a pick a ball now,

394
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:15.480
play ping pong is really good.
People loving that. Do something that

395
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:22.400
just gets your butt off the chair. Take a dance class, even if

396
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:27.920
it's learning a musical instrument like play
the drums. That's physical and you're doing

397
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:31.719
something different and you're learning and you
got to coordinate. You're challenging your brain.

398
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.920
Right, So everyone understands going to
the gym, challenge your muscles,

399
00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:45.800
and people understand brushing your teeth,
and people understand, you know, making

400
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:51.760
sure that you get good sleep or
drinking water. But when I tell them,

401
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:54.679
you got to exercise your brain every
day. You gotta challenge your brain

402
00:35:54.760 --> 00:36:00.519
every day. You gotta learn new
things. Every day we're doing new thing

403
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:04.639
or meet a new person, or
go to a new place, or take

404
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:07.679
a new route to work, or
read a new book, or learn a

405
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:13.760
new language or a new musical instrument, or take up a new hobby or

406
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:17.599
learn a new dance move. I
gotta keep learning. You gotta be a

407
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:22.559
student for life. Your brain's like
a muscle. You use it or you

408
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:27.000
lose it. And we said they're
gonna call Alzheimer's. These diabetes type one

409
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:31.159
and diabetes type two. So if
you don't want diabetes type two, exercise

410
00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:37.039
is one of the best things you
can do. So we say away from

411
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:42.239
sugar and carbs and exercise. That's
your care for diabetes type two. It

412
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:46.719
could be totally reversed right now though
people are getting diabetes younger and younger and

413
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:50.559
younger. But we gotta look at
your blood work. Gotta look at your

414
00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:55.440
hemoglobin A and C and your fasting
glucose. You gotta monitor it. You

415
00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:59.599
know, when you look at blood
work, don't compare yourself to everybody else,

416
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:04.519
So you don't want to be normal. When I look at people's blood

417
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:07.320
work, I compare you to healthy
people. So you don't want to be

418
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:10.800
normal. You want to be healthy
because a normal person in America, has

419
00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:15.840
heart disease, has cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's. You do not want to

420
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:21.280
be normal. You do not want
to be the ninety nine percent. You

421
00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:23.679
have to be the one percent.
You got to do what nobody else is

422
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:29.239
doing, which is following these suggestions, drinking the right amount of water,

423
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:32.599
eating the colors of the rainbow,
doing your breathing exercise, working on your

424
00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:38.079
posture, getting off your butt every
twenty minutes, going out in the sun,

425
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:43.360
getting sunlight. If you do the
right things, you'll get the great

426
00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:46.719
results. So if you function better, you'll feel better and you'll live a

427
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:52.880
better life. More when we come

to boost your brain power. I'm your

439
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:55.960
host, doctor Eric Caplan. So
we're talking about how to improve your brain

440
00:38:57.039 --> 00:39:02.760
function, improve your memory, your
focus. It starts from diet and exercise.

441
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:07.920
Those are always the most important things, right, but we also said

442
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:12.400
you got to drink a right amount
of water. I have patients I know

443
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:16.960
when they come in dehydrated, their
memory doesn't work as well. You can

444
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:22.840
literally change your brain function on a
daily basis. And you want to drink

445
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:29.639
Solai water, which is a pinch
of pinkmelan salt. The salt helps to

446
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:34.760
take the water into the cells.
You don't want to just drink water and

447
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:39.280
then pee it out. And we're
finding more and more research about these plastic

448
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:45.480
water bottles. They're just leaching into
the water. People are drinking and eating

449
00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:51.039
so much plastic these days. So
please do yourself a favor and get yourself

450
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:55.280
a nice water filter. If you
need suggestions, just email me info at

451
00:39:55.320 --> 00:40:01.440
kaplinbrainbody dot com. You want to
get one that plug extent that attaches under

452
00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:06.719
the sink. You want to get
one that you know maybe attaches to the

453
00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:10.800
shower head. You don't want to
keep using these plastic water bottles, so

454
00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:16.360
the idea is to get a filter
and then fill up your glass water bottle

455
00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:21.840
or your stainless steel water bottle so
that you can drink out of glass or

456
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:27.639
stainless steel as opposed to drinking at
a plastic because you don't want to keep

457
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:32.360
eating all these plastics. They're hidly
inflammatory, they're carcinogenic, They're cause digestive

458
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:37.960
problems, skin problems, brain problems. We already exposed to so much plastic.

459
00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:45.000
And stop using plastic storage containers.
To store everything in glass containers or

460
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:50.880
stainless steel. So when you get
home from shopping, even if they give

461
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:53.199
it to you everything in a plastic
bag, I want you to take it

462
00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:57.679
out of the bag. To get
rid of a lot of the chemicals.

463
00:40:57.719 --> 00:41:00.800
You could put all your fruit in
bed in a nice big bowl, filling

464
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:06.960
up with water, take some baking
soda, let it soak for at least

465
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:10.360
an hour. The baking soda will
help take out all the bad chemicals.

466
00:41:10.719 --> 00:41:15.119
Then you're gonna flush, pour all
the water out after an hour, rinse

467
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:20.239
off all the fruits and veggies again. Store it in a glass container.

468
00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:23.280
It's gonna taste better, it's gonna
last longer, it's not gonna mold as

469
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:30.960
quickly. It's gonna look nicer.
So start storing everything in glass. Stop

470
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:39.760
using the plastic containers because those plastics
leach into the water and into the food.

471
00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:45.679
And definitely don't reuse water bottles then
they leaches. Is even more.

472
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:50.440
It's gonna be very careful with those
plastic containers. I mean, you know,

473
00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:52.920
you go to Europe and everybody uses
glass, and then all the places

474
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:57.639
reuse the glass, and yeah that's
the way to do it. And yes

475
00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:01.519
you risk glass breaking, but uh, that's not that big a deal.

476
00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:07.480
I'm gonna save the environment. You're
gonna save your pockets. That's gonna be

477
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:12.280
much cheaper in the end. Uh, you're gonna uh save your health because

478
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:17.320
you're not and buying any of those
plastics. So everybody wins. So the

479
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:23.280
environment wins, the money game is
better, the health game is better.

480
00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:30.920
Uh, everyone wins, all right, So start using glass instead of plastic.

481
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:36.480
And then if you have leftover food
that you're using stored in glass.

482
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:39.800
So then the next day, let's
say you bring it for lunch, you

483
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:45.280
just heat it up in a toaster
oven. Don't use the microwave oven.

484
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:52.119
The microwave dnatures everything. Uh.
It takes all the nutritional value out of

485
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:59.000
your food. It's also radiation.
It's dangerous. It even kills water.

486
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:01.159
Not just your food food, but
your water. You know, they did

487
00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:08.119
experiments with water. If you microwave
your water and then use that water to

488
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:13.000
water your plants, your plants will
die. If you boil water and then

489
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:16.400
use the boiled water to water your
plants, your plants will live. So

490
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:23.559
there's a big difference between boiling to
heat things up versus microwave to heat things.

491
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:28.440
Microwave will literally kill water, It
will kill your food. It will

492
00:43:28.519 --> 00:43:34.679
kill the nutrients in all the food
as well. All right, So stored

493
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:38.559
in a glass, heat it up
in a toaster oven takes only five minutes,

494
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:44.400
super quick. Try not to use
too much leftovers though. You know

495
00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:50.480
rice, If you put rice in
the refrigerator, it starts to mold after

496
00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:53.639
just twenty four hours, So stop
eating so many leftovers. Try and eat

497
00:43:53.679 --> 00:43:59.559
everything fresh as possible. If you
you know, cut a half an onion

498
00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:01.880
and keep it in the refrigerator,
that's gonna grow mold too. Or if

499
00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:07.599
you could open garlic, peel the
garlic, that's gonna grow mold also.

500
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:15.280
So try and use everything fresh that
day, and uh, use everything up.

501
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:21.639
Okay, try not to eat old
food too much. And I know

502
00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:24.719
being healthy is is not the easiest
thing in the world. There's a lot

503
00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:30.280
more convenience that just you know,
roll up to McDonald's or Taco Bell or

504
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:34.320
go in eat out food all the
time. And you know, I know

505
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:37.159
a lot of people are so I
don't have time to cook and prepare.

506
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:42.000
And so pick two days where you
really you know, meal prep, like

507
00:44:42.039 --> 00:44:44.960
I said, get your glass containers
and okay, okay, I'm gonna have

508
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.079
this fruit this day and this vegetable
that day. You're gonna have everything set

509
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:53.880
up and already you know, split
up for each day. So pick like

510
00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:58.280
a Sunday night and a Wednesday night, you know, just to meal prep

511
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:00.880
and get everything ready, and then
you might have to cook once in a

512
00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:05.079
while just to kind of eat fresh. But you should be able to do

513
00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:08.320
a lot of the prepping, just
using two days a week there and just

514
00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:12.800
have everything you know in good habits. You know, it's like when you

515
00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:15.079
wake up, your body knows.
Okay, I know every morning when I

516
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:17.880
wake up, I'm gonna do my
oil pulling. Oil pulling is one of

517
00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:22.519
the best ways to kill bacteria in
your mouth. So you get coconut oil

518
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:28.440
and I put a pinch of tea
tree oil and then I swish up all

519
00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:30.800
around my mouth, rub it if
I use my tongue if I need to,

520
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:37.320
rub it in the gums and get
in all the bacteria in the mouth.

521
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:39.559
And in the morning is when you
have the most bacteria to what we

522
00:45:39.639 --> 00:45:44.320
want to do is kill off all
that bacteria. So oil pulling you just

523
00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:46.119
do thirty seconds to two minutes every
morning, right when you get up,

524
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:51.239
before you eat, before you swallow, before you talk, and then you

525
00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:53.719
spit it out so it doesn't you
know, ruin your pipes or anything.

526
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:58.599
So that's called oil pulling. So
my brain's just used to it. Right

527
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:01.639
when I get up, I oil
pull well, then I have a bowel

528
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:06.639
movement. Then I read at least
one or two pages in my book.

529
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:12.519
Then I enter at least three or
four things in my gratitude journal. Then

530
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:15.760
I get ready for the day,
do my solat water with the lemon,

531
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:22.360
and then I go exercise. Then
I do my little meal prep for the

532
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:31.239
day, shower, do my brain
exercises, do my little sun salutations.

533
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:37.440
I get my intentions for the day. And this is all before my family

534
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:40.599
gets up. Now, once my
kid's wife gets up, now I'm ready

535
00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:45.760
to be dad mode. You know. Spend time with them at the breakfast

536
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:49.880
table and walk them to the bus
stop and you know, go over any

537
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:52.719
homework or any questions they had,
had a little fun, you know,

538
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:57.800
spend some quality time with my wife. Then I go to work, get

539
00:46:57.840 --> 00:47:01.840
everything done, so you know,
I'm getting stuff done before six o'clock.

540
00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:07.039
Most people aren't even up yet.
That's that power hour. Every morning.

541
00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:10.840
You want to start off your day
right in a good state, high energy,

542
00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:15.440
good focus, good brain function.
You got to create these good habits.

543
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:19.280
You gotta do it every morning,
just like you brush your teeth every

544
00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:22.320
morning. You got to do these
rect of these good habits. Right,

545
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:28.840
that's your power hour, so you're
ready to go. And then, you

546
00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:30.880
know, like I said, during
the day, just make sure you don't

547
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:35.400
do that sedentary lifestyle. That's the
worst thing for your brain is just sitting

548
00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:39.599
down all day, where our brains
are getting worse and worse. We're dying

549
00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:44.599
earlier and earlier every year. People
used to live longer and longer. In

550
00:47:44.639 --> 00:47:46.280
America, you know, the last
couple of years of the first time in

551
00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:52.679
the history of mankind where people are
actually dying earlier than ever before. In

552
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:55.800
America, we have the worst infant
mortality rate of all the developed countries.

553
00:47:55.840 --> 00:48:00.960
Our babies die on day one more
than any country. We also have the

554
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:07.679
most intervention with our babies, the
most c sections, the most induced labors,

555
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:14.679
the most hospitalizations. You know,
the country with the lowest infant mortality

556
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:20.000
rate is the Netherlands. And guess
what, the Netherlands is also the number

557
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:25.480
one country for home births. So
the country that has the most home births

558
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:32.000
has the least infant mortality rate,
and the country that has the most hospitalizations,

559
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:38.280
interventions, c sections, medical inductions, the United States. We have

560
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:44.920
one of the worst infant mortality rates. So doctors intervened too much. When

561
00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:49.440
I had my kids, we had
midwives because midwives are trained in natural births,

562
00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:55.519
you know, in obgyn they're trained
in surgeries. They're trained in doing

563
00:48:57.199 --> 00:49:02.159
c sections. I wanted my midwives
who are trained on doing the natural birth.

564
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:08.480
Now, how do you know if
you have a predisposition to Alzheimer's or

565
00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:12.920
demand? You got to do a
brain scan. It's called a q EG

566
00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:15.760
brain mapping, and that says,
Hey, do you have a short term

567
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:20.679
memory loss, long term memory,
working memory problems? Do you have troubles

568
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:25.199
with depression, anxiety, anger,
aggression, motivation, executive functions, difficulties,

569
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:30.280
shifting tasks? Do you have hormonal
problems, thyroid problems, intestinal inflammation.

570
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:35.599
This is all picked up by the
q EEG brain mapping. It tells

571
00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:38.360
us do you have heavy metal poison, concussion? Do you have some sort

572
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:44.639
of infection? Do you have neurotransmitter
or dopamine, neuro eperineperaine problem? You

573
00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:49.519
know, it tells us all these
problems, dizzyness, headaches, tonight is,

574
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:53.280
ringing in the ears, floaters in
the eyes, balance problems, walking

575
00:49:53.360 --> 00:50:00.199
problems, speech problems, all comes
from this q EEG brain mapping. It's

576
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:05.320
non invasive, there's no radiation.
It's normally five hundred dollars. But for

577
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:08.000
the first seven people to call her, text or email, they can get

578
00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:13.320
it for only twenty one dollars.
All you have to do is caller texts

579
00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:16.920
six four six two two one six
seven three eight, or you can email

580
00:50:17.039 --> 00:50:22.840
info at kaplinbraininbody dot com. Another
test that I highly recommend is a one

581
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:27.360
on one evaluation with me. Therefore, we'll go over your blood work and

582
00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:31.159
your brain tests that you have at
Maris cat scans. Well do you check

583
00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:35.719
your heart, your gut, your
lungs, your brain, your balance,

584
00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:39.440
your reflexes, your posture, your
alignment. It's about forty five minutes.

585
00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:43.920
It's a one on one with me. That's also normally five hundred dollars.

586
00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:46.559
But for the first seven people to
call, text or email you can get

587
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:52.320
that test for only twenty one dollars. Just call text or email six four

author about that. I write about how

600
00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:59.079
people who can hit their head and
get concussions can years later have memory problems,

601
00:51:59.119 --> 00:52:01.880
focused problem. So a lot of
people don't realize that years before when

602
00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:06.880
they hit their head that can affect
how their brain's functioning. Now, that's
