Hello, and welcome 3 00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:15.759 to boost your brain power. I am your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. 4 00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:23.920 It is my birthday today. I turned forty six years old, and this 5 00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:30.160 is the healthiest I've ever felt in my life. My brain is the best 6 00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:34.280 it's ever been. My memory is the best it's ever been. I'm more 7 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:39.920 in shape than I've ever been. My muscles are strongest, my vision is 8 00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.119 best. I keep on improving my vision every year my life. This is 9 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.640 the best my eyes have been. This is the best my memory has been. 10 00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:55.719 This is the best my brain, body, my heart, my gut. 11 00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.320 I'm at the top of my game at forty six, and when I'm 12 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:03.320 fifty, I'm gonna be even healthier. And what I'm gonna do for you 13 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:08.439 guys today is share what I do on a perfect day to boost my brain 14 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:14.560 power, improve my mood, keep my energy high, and get great sleep. 15 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.239 If you follow my suggestions, you can be the healthiest you've ever been 16 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.480 this year. But you gotta work for it, so your health isn't given 17 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:29.879 to you by a doctor or there's not some magic pill that you can take 18 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.519 to improve the function of your brain and your body. You don't need perfect 19 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:41.040 genes, I mean like a mother and father that are healthy. But what 20 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:47.560 you do need is to alter your environment to make the cells that you do 21 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:55.120 have function at the highest level possible, and make sure you detox, eliminate 22 00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.799 and get rid of all the bad cells in your body that you don't need. 23 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.479 And it all starts with your morning routine. Now what I do is 24 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:14.879 wake up every morning at four twenty. Now when I wake up at four 25 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:22.479 twenty, initially I used to have my alarm clock right next to my bed, 26 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.960 but that's bad because then you could just press the snooze alarm. We 27 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.599 don't like snooze. Snooze is the worst thing you could do. That starts 28 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.520 your day off with a failurere If you want to be in a bad mood, 29 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.759 you press the snooze. If you want to be in a good mood, 30 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:45.479 you get up. You get up quickly. I like mel Robbins who 31 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:51.039 does the five second rule, So she imagines herself like a rocket ship and 32 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:57.879 once that alarm goes off, you go five four, three two one, 33 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.039 and you jump out of bed and you blast off. Now. I spoke 34 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.840 to a lady who works to Nasau the other day and she says, actually, 35 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.919 rocket chips are very slow, but that's not the point. So even 36 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.360 though they're slow, you get the ideas like jump out of bed, do 37 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:21.960 a countdown for the rocket launch five four, three two one, jump out 38 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:27.520 of bed right now. The way I got around this is I put my 39 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:32.240 alarm clock on the other side of the room. So therefore I got to 40 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:37.439 jump up right away because I don't want to wake up my wife, So 41 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.080 I got to make sure I get up turn off that alarm super quick. 42 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:46.000 Now that I'm up, it's easy. It's staying in bed and being able 43 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.680 to turn off the alarm that makes it difficult, right, because believe me, 44 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.479 it's hard to get up at four twenty. It's not easy. I 45 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.840 would love to just stay in bed, but then I'm not putting in the 46 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:06.759 work. I ever ever woke up early and gone to the gym or worked 47 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:12.000 out and been disappointed, said, you know what, I should have slept 48 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.199 in and not gone to the gym. Never said that, not once in 49 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:20.040 my life, but thousands of times I've said, oh, I wish I'd 50 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:25.000 impress that snooze, and I wish I did get up, and I wish 51 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:30.480 I did go to the gym. There's always regret with the snooze. There's 52 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.399 never a regret when you go work out. In the beginning, it's hard, 53 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:39.720 but at the end of you're glad you did it. So what I 54 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.680 do every morning I wake up at four twenty. The first thing I do 55 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:53.560 before I even talk or swallow is called oil pulling. And what oil pulling 56 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.279 is where you take a bunch of coconut oil, and I like to put 57 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.680 a drop of teach oil in there as well, So you get a bunch 58 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:06.600 of coconut oil and then you swish it around your mouth, all around your 59 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:12.439 gums and your teeth and your mouth and your tongue. And what that's going 60 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.199 to do is gonna kill off the bad bacteria. So the tea tree oil 61 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:24.160 and the coconut oil are natural antibiotics. They're gonna kill off all the bad 62 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:30.879 bacteria in your mouth. Do not do mouth wash our mouth rins because that's 63 00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:35.519 full of alcohol, and the alcohol is not only going to kill the bad 64 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:42.759 bacteria, but it's also going to kill the good bacteria. And we don't 65 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.160 want to sacrifice our good bacteria just to get rid of the bad bacteria. 66 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:53.759 That's why mouthwash is no good. That's why purel is no good. You're 67 00:05:53.879 --> 00:06:01.399 killing off all the good bacteria. That's why anti bacterial lotion and soaps are 68 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:09.000 no good. They kill off all the good bacteria. That's why antibiotics are 69 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:15.360 no good. They kill off all the good bacteria, and they ruin your 70 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:21.759 gut microbiome, which is the good bacteria in your stomach and intestines that helps 71 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:27.879 to absorb your food as well as keep your immune system and check by defeating 72 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:33.199 bad viruses, bacteria, mold, and yeast. Your best defense against bad 73 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:39.959 bacteria is good bacteria. So if you're using the perel, the antibacterial spread, 74 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.560 the antibacterial lotion, the anti bacterial soap, you take an antibiotics, 75 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.439 you're killing off good bacteria. Now, what you want to do is just 76 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:55.079 wash your hands with soap and water, and you could use a good olive 77 00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:00.519 oil base, but all you have to do is wash your hands with soap 78 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.439 and water like they've always done before COVID nineteen came around, and now everyone's 79 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:13.319 obsessed with all these antibacterial stuff that can cause more problems than the benefit it 80 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:18.480 provides, all right. So the best way to do it and keep your 81 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:26.240 good bacteria in your mouth every morning is to do coconut oil pulling. You 82 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.040 just swish the coconut oil in your mouth for about thirty seconds up to two 83 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.959 minutes, you can do it. Don't spit it out in the sink because 84 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.879 that'll ruin your pipes, but spit it out into garbage, you know. 85 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.839 Don't swallow it either, because that's going to bring more bacteria into your gut. 86 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:46.839 All right. So what we want to do first thing in the morning, 87 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:54.360 before you talk or swallow, is oil pulling for a minimum of thirty 88 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.639 seconds and then spit everything out. Then I'll brush my teeth and I'll add 89 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:05.199 some baking soda as well. Just the mouth holds a lot of bacteria, 90 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.639 so we want to really make sure we take care of our dental health first 91 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.040 thing in the morning. Now we're gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna 92 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.879 go pee, I'm gonna go poop. You always want to poop first thing 93 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.879 in the morning. It's not good to poop after every meal. That's not 94 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:24.399 healthy. You only need to poop once a day. Every morning, right 95 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.439 when you wake up. Because what you're gonna do is the ideal time is 96 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.720 to eat during the daylight hours, which is ten am to six pm. 97 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.519 Now, if you stop eating after six pm, now you have all that 98 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:45.159 time to digest your food, to break it down, to absorb the nutrients, 99 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.399 to get rid of the bad stuff. All right, So you should 100 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.000 eat during the day, and that's when we get our energy. Now at 101 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.440 nighttime, we want to stop eating so we could digest. Then we go 102 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.480 to sleep and activate our vagus nerve, which we call the rest and digest. 103 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.600 Then we're gonna wake up in the morning and eliminate all the stuff that 104 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.879 we did not digest or is not important. So we get rid of our 105 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:18.120 toxins through our urine and through our bowel movements first thing in the morning, 106 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.919 only after the oil pulling, right, So you get the oil pulling, 107 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:28.159 then you got your urination, you got your bow movements. Your bowel movements 108 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.840 should be S shaped, that's a normal bowel movement. You don't want to 109 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:39.320 pile, you don't want to log. You don't want thin strands. You 110 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:46.919 want a nice thick log that's S shaped. Nice color, not black or 111 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.919 green. Nice and brown, and we also want it to be partial sinking 112 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.080 and partial floating. So next time you have a bowel movement, take a 113 00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:01.200 look at it and see, hey, is it shaped, is it solid? 114 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.120 What's the color? Is it sinking? Is it floating? Is it 115 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:11.679 doing a little bit of both? That is ideal s shaped, brown, 116 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:18.879 partial sink, partial float. All put together, that's a nice bowel movement. 117 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:24.080 Okay, Now after I have my bowel movement, now I'm gonna do 118 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:31.279 a little bit of reading. I make sure I read a minimum of one 119 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.120 page a day, and hopefully it's two, three, four, five, 120 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.840 ten page is a day, but minimum at least one page a day. 121 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.279 And I have books everywhere. There in the bathroom, so as i'm having 122 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:50.720 a bow I'm reading my one page. They're in my bedroom, They're in 123 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:56.120 my office, they're in my car. I have books everywhere. They're in 124 00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:01.440 the couch, they're in the living room, they're in the kitchen. So 125 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.039 if I have a few minutes, I can get a couple of pages in 126 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.879 there. And I want books all around so my kids see the books, 127 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.600 my wife see the books. I want them to know that's very important to 128 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:18.440 read. People have very low attention span these days, and they stop reading 129 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.519 because everything is so quick and their little videos and all the informations on TikTok, 130 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:28.000 and we have to start reading again. You gotta unplug and not on 131 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.039 the kindle. Read a real book. Read my book. You can get 132 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.519 my book on Amazon.

Welcome back to boost your brain power. I'm your 158 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.240 host, Doctor Eric Kaplan. It is my birthday today. We are doing 159 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:58.039 the birthday show and what I'm doing is going over my daily routine that has 160 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.200 made me so healthy. When I was younger, I was not healthy. 161 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:09.840 I was eating Burger King, pizza, ice cream, Entamin's cookies, chocolate 162 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:15.440 cake, Doritos, frosted flakes, cocoa pops. I was a typical American. 163 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.600 But the other thing that made me a typical American is I was obese. 164 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:26.919 I was fat. I had bed acne, low energy, poor mood, 165 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:35.159 brain fog. I had chronic bronchitis. I was always sick. My 166 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:43.399 immune system was horrible. My whole first thirteen years of life was really bad. 167 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.799 I was throwing up all the time. It's always nauseous. I had 168 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:56.639 to take this horrible medicine, these steroids, and these antibiotics from my chronic 169 00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:03.039 bronchitis, which made me more sick than the actual condition. I was miserable. 170 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.200 It was not fun. And luckily my dad saved my life and he 171 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:20.000 took me to a seminar called natural hygiene. He saw how miserable I was, 172 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.080 and he decided to take action and say, I don't want my son 173 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:33.360 to suffer anymore. I don't care that this pediatrician is pumping up with medication. 174 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.679 I know that he can heal himself. He had that confidence in me, 175 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.759 so he brought me along. I was thirteen years old, and one 176 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.559 of the first things I learned at that seminar was that dairy causes long congestion 177 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:54.080 and what did I have chronic bronchitis? And yes, I was in the 178 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.919 house with a smoker, so I had secondhand smoke. I grew up every 179 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:08.600 morning spinning out blem always shortness of breath. But after that seminar that my 180 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:15.720 dad took me to, I quit dairy products and within one month I cured 181 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:26.120 my chronic bronchitis that I had for years. I cured myself, and you 182 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:37.879 can cure yourself. You do not need pills, surgeries, injections. All 183 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:45.879 your healing power is from within. But you have to unleash your body's potential. 184 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:51.399 You have to take care of your brain and your body. You only 185 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:55.480 get one brain and one body in your life, so you have to cherish 186 00:16:55.519 --> 00:17:00.879 it. Don't feed it crap. Don't do what I did and eat fast 187 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:06.759 food, burger king, pizza, ice cream, fried chicken, cookies, 188 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:11.799 and cake. Don't make the same mistakes I did. I had so many 189 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:18.319 years of suffering, but now I'm the healthiest I've ever been in my life, 190 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:23.720 and I would all to my father taking me to that seminar Unnatural hygiene, 191 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:30.519 where I learned to stop eating dairy products. No yogurt, no butter, 192 00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:37.680 no cream, cheese, no sour cream, no cheese, no milk. 193 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.839 I don't care if it's lactaid, I don't care if it's one percent, 194 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:47.599 if it's whole, if it's organic, you are not a baby. 195 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:55.079 Milk is for babies, and you are not a cow. Dairy products are 196 00:17:55.200 --> 00:18:00.799 for cows. Sheep milk is for sheep, cow's milk is for cows, 197 00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:10.079 goat milk is for goats, and human milk is for babies. Only. 198 00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:15.960 Babies drink milk because they can't eat whole foods. Yet that's the way the 199 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:22.799 planet is designed. Before the baby can't eat foods, they're supposed to get 200 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.000 milk from the mother's breast. But we're not supposed to get milk from another 201 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.680 animal. There's no other species on a planet that would ever even think about 202 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:36.960 doing that. Now, there's plenty of animals that eat other animals. We 203 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.519 see that, and when people are on a carnivore diet, I'll help them. 204 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:47.519 There are animals that eat vegetables and fruits. That happens. If there 205 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.160 are patients that want to be a vegetarian, I'll help them be the best 206 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.880 vegetarian. I don't care what you do. You want to eat meat, 207 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:56.920 eat meat, but I'm gonna tell you to eat the healthy meat. You 208 00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.400 want to be vegetarian, be vegetarian, but I'm gonna eat you how to 209 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:04.839 be a healthy vegetarian. You want to be a ketogenetic diet beyond the keto, 210 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:08.640 but I'm going to teach you how to do a healthy ketogenny or a 211 00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:17.160 healthy paleo diet, or a healthy Atkins or There's all these diets and books 212 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:22.039 and videos on ways to improve your health. They're all selling a product. 213 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:30.319 Don't complicate your health. Keep it simple. Eat food. That's my plan. 214 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:36.599 Eat food. Eat food from the earth. Anything that comes from the 215 00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:41.680 earth, whether it's a tree or a bush, the ocean, the land. 216 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:47.400 If it comes from the earth, I like it. If it comes 217 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:52.400 from the factory, I don't like it. If it's in a box or 218 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.079 a can or a bag. We want to stay away from those foods. 219 00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:03.480 If it's organic and fresh and there's no steroids and antibiotics, and it's wild 220 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:08.920 and it's grass fed, and there's no herbicides or pesticides or glyphyside or round 221 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.680 up, and there's no GMO, and there's no cross breeding of the seeds 222 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.400 and there's no cross contamination, and we like it, think like they did 223 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.599 a thousand years ago. You're gonna be that hunter gatherer if you can hunt 224 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:27.279 it good, if you can gather it good. But there's no such thing 225 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:37.039 as a cereal tree. There's no such thing as a bread bush. Bread 226 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:42.599 is in a bag. Cereal is in a box. Don't eat stuff in 227 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:51.160 box's in bags and cans. Eat it directly from the earth and buy organic 228 00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:53.480 so you don't have all the chemicals. Right, So if you want to 229 00:20:53.480 --> 00:21:02.400 be healthy, you have to eat real food, real food from the earth. 230 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:06.359 So when you know people ask me for my birthday, you know what 231 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:07.759 do I want? Do I want a birthday cake? No? I don't 232 00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:14.400 want a birthday cake. Give me something real, Give me a fruit platter. 233 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.880 I would rather enjoy that. And put a candle in a mango and 234 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.480 I'll blow out the candle. I don't care that it's my birthday. I'm 235 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:27.119 not gonna have a piece of chocolate cake on my birthday, because then I 236 00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:33.559 might get congested, because dairy products congest my lungs, as does gluten. 237 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:38.720 Gluten is found in wheat, rye, and barley. If I want to 238 00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:44.519 keep my lungs and not be congested, I have to make sure I'm not 239 00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:52.119 eating dairy products or gluten products that will cause bloating, that will cause brain 240 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.319 fog, that will cause acne, that will cause obesity. So once I 241 00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:03.319 quit sugar and dairy, and I also quit food dyes and artificial flavors, 242 00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:08.880 all this candy and junk food and fast food, I quit it all. 243 00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:17.400 My acne went away, I grew a foot in a summer. My brain 244 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:22.640 fog went away. My energy improved, My grades got better, my sports 245 00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:30.240 performance improved. Girls started talking to me, the boys, they would make 246 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.559 fun of me. You know, imagine you're thirteen years old and you come 247 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:41.279 to school with carrots and walnuts and blueberries while they were all eating sandwiches and 248 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.240 TwixT bars and soda. They used to call me. They would make fun 249 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:48.720 of me. They would call me nuts and berries, Hey, nuts and 250 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.240 berries. I didn't care, though, because I was performing better in sports, 251 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.920 I got better grades. I was getting more girls than ever. I 252 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.759 was feeling more energetic, I was looking batter, I was happier. My 253 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:06.039 mood was good. So you can't call me nuts and berries as much as 254 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:11.119 you want. I am performing at my highest level. And I started getting 255 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.039 into honors classes. And then I got into a top ten college, and 256 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.000 you know, I lost all this weight and I started making, you know, 257 00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.799 varsity sports team. I became first singles in tennis and made the state 258 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:30.119 finals. And now I'm forty six years old and I'm playing basketball three times 259 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.119 a week. I played tennis once a week. I play soccer once a 260 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:36.000 week. I go to Orange Theory twice a week. I go to the 261 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.079 gym three times a week. I go hiking, I go running, I 262 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:44.319 go biking. I love my life. It's the healthiest I've ever been. 263 00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:49.359 But it all started from when I was thirteen years old and I decided to 264 00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:53.599 take control of my health. And once I cured my own bronchitis, I 265 00:23:53.640 --> 00:24:00.160 got off the medicine and I didn't need those steroids and antibiotics anymore. And 266 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:06.640 I thought, at thirteen years old that I have this special secret that nobody 267 00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:11.160 knows about. But I thought, should I share it? You know, 268 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:17.480 is it worth being made fun of putting myself out there doing things differently? 269 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.559 So I thought about it, but then I said no, God gave me 270 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:29.039 this health, and now I owe it to God, to universe, to 271 00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:34.480 my friends, to my family, to humanity, to teach people how to 272 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:41.720 improve their brain and their body without drugs or medicine, so they can function 273 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:48.799 better, feel better, and live a better life more when we come back 274 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:53.079 from the break.

I am 288 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:04.839 forty six years old, and this is the healthiest I've been. And I'm 289 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:11.079 giving away my secrets to getting healthier and healthier as you get older and older. 290 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:17.079 So we started off by getting up early. Do not press the snooze 291 00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:22.559 alarm. You get up early, and you do coconut oil pulling. Then 292 00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.319 you have your urination and your bowel movement. Then you're gonna read a little 293 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.359 bit. Now. The next thing I do in the morning to get my 294 00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:37.519 day going is my gratitude journal. And I'll either write it or just put 295 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.200 it on my phone, and I say simple things. I'm grateful, I 296 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.240 can see, I'm grateful, I just woke up. I'm grateful, I 297 00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:49.480 can hear. I'm grateful I can eat, I could poop, i can 298 00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:55.599 pee. I'm grateful my heart works. I'm grateful I have a wife and 299 00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:57.839 two kids. I'm grateful I have a house to live in, and I 300 00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:03.279 have a car to drive. I'm grateful I can get food whenever I'm hungry. 301 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:07.559 I'm grateful I have clothes on my back and a roof up over my 302 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.319 head, and I can lock my door at night. And I'm grateful I'm 303 00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:15.720 in America, protected by the Atlantic Ocean the Pacific Ocean, with two kind 304 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:22.920 neighbors of Mexico and Canada. I have to thank and be grateful every day. 305 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.359 I thank the Lord. I live in the suburbs of New York City, 306 00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:33.759 and I have access to all this culture and shows and great restaurants and 307 00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:41.079 museums and all these amazing people. And every block in New York has a 308 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:44.640 new thing that you could do, and there's always new activities, and there's 309 00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:49.160 always great entertainment and so much culture. It's the melting pot of the world. 310 00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:53.720 And I'm just I live just twenty minutes outside of New York City, 311 00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:00.200 in a nice house with a white picket fence and a beautiful family, with 312 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.759 a great dog, with the grass and the trees and the creek in the 313 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.039 backyard. I'm thankful for that. And the more I'm thankful for that, 314 00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:12.400 the more good things that come to me, the more success that comes to 315 00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:15.480 me. Who do you think is God's gonna take care of the people that 316 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:22.039 complain are the people that are grateful. The people that are grateful end up 317 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:29.839 becoming more successful, happier. And you gotta be grateful no matter what it 318 00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:34.039 is. If you woke up, you have to be grateful. How many 319 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:40.920 people wake up and say I'm grateful to be alive very rare. Most people 320 00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:44.240 wake up and say, ah, I gotta go to this job. I 321 00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:48.880 don't want to go to I gotta wake up early and get my day going. 322 00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:53.880 I could just want to stay here in bed. Most people aren't grateful 323 00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:59.440 to get up early in the morning. You gotta change that. You gotta 324 00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:04.119 be grateful because all those people that have died, I guarantee their family members 325 00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:11.279 wish that they could just wake up one more time. So every day that 326 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:18.480 you wake up is gold. You know, if I gave you ten million 327 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:23.279 dollars right now, that would make you pretty happy. But if I gave 328 00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:29.279 you ten million dollars and said I'll give you this money, but you will 329 00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:37.599 not wake up tomorrow morning, nobody would take that money. Because life waking 330 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:47.440 up every morning is more valuable than ten million dollars. Think about that. 331 00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:51.759 If I said I'm going to pay you ten million dollars today, but you 332 00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:56.640 cannot wake up tomorrow morning, you would not take it. And if you 333 00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:02.680 wouldn't take it, that means you're setting saying that your life is more valuable 334 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:08.119 than ten million dollars. Waking up is more valuable than ten million dollars. 335 00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:15.200 So every morning you should wake up feeling like you just got ten million dollars. 336 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.960 You just won the lottery, just by opening up your right eye and 337 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:26.279 your left eye. Be grateful. The reason I am in such a good 338 00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.839 mood and have such energy is because every morning I write what I'm grateful for. 339 00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:37.279 Every morning I exercise. So I wake up at four twenty so I 340 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:44.960 can go to my gym by five o'clock and I will exercise from five to 341 00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:52.599 six. So on my day at six am, I've already done oil pulling, 342 00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:59.279 I've already had a good bowe movement and detox. I've already read in 343 00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:10.119 my book. I've already done so many healthy things written my gratitude journal. 344 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:15.079 And this is all before five and then before six. Now I just did 345 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:22.799 an hour workout. Now we're gonna have some water, so lay water. 346 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:27.000 So I just worked out, sweat a lot, got to drink a lot 347 00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:33.519 of water, two full glasses of solay water, which is filtered water with 348 00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:37.720 pink Kimelayan salt, and then I'll give it some flavor. I might squeeze 349 00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:42.680 some lemon in there, squeeze some lime, might put some orange sliced oranges 350 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:47.240 in there, or some pineapple in there. Give it some flavor. But 351 00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:52.880 the main ingredients is the filtered water and the pink Kimelay salt, which gives 352 00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.680 us about eighty six minerals. Now, if you just drink your bottled water 353 00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:00.680 a lot of time, you're not absorbing that water, peing it out. 354 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:04.599 I can't tell you how many patients I see that are dehydrated that drink bottled 355 00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:10.079 water. So if you drink bottled water many times it doesn't get absorbed because 356 00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:16.559 the environment is more acidic. You need alkaline water and not the quote unquote 357 00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:23.240 alkaline water that's the label, but mineralized water with pinkamelean salt, because that's 358 00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:28.000 got eighty six minerals. Don't buy the you know, smart water, the 359 00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:34.200 alkaline water, the aquafina or the disani or the poland springs or you know 360 00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:39.039 those are not healthy waters. Plus you're getting all the plastics that leach into 361 00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:45.559 the water bottle. So the average American eats about a credit card size worth 362 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:51.640 a plastic every day every year. So make sure we stop using these plastic 363 00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:57.559 water bottles, start getting a water filter, start using Solai water because we 364 00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:00.319 really you know, need to hydrate, you need to drink on an empty 365 00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:06.400 stomach. So what you want to do is drink on an empty stomach first 366 00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:08.319 thing in the morning, two big glasses. Then you're gonna drink a half 367 00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:14.039 hour before each meal. So the best way to get water absorbed is on 368 00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:19.440 the empty stomach. So in my morning, after I work out, I'm 369 00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:23.039 having two big glasses of solat water. Then we're gonna do a little meal 370 00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:29.000 prep. I'm not gonna eat breakfast till ten right, so we have only 371 00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:32.880 eating from ten am to six pm. That's called intermittent fasting. You want 372 00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:37.680 to function best, feel best, you want to do intermittent fasting where you 373 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:43.400 eat from ten to six ten am to six pm during the daylight hours. 374 00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:47.599 We eat for energy, so you want to eat when you're doing your work, 375 00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:52.039 which is during the daylight yes, if you work the midnight shift, 376 00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:55.400 it's a little bit different, but that's not healthy for you, so you 377 00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:58.799 might have to switch jobs. You know, some people, we got to 378 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:02.359 get them to switch jobs. The midnight shift is not healthy. You know, 379 00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:05.599 somebody's got to do it. But it doesn't have to be you. 380 00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:13.360 With your health, that's when you put yourself first, with your health, 381 00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:16.840 because if you're not healthy, you're no good to anybody else. You can't 382 00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:21.400 work if you're not healthy. You can't be a good wife or husband, 383 00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:24.000 or brother or a sister, or a friend or family member, or employee 384 00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:31.519 or boss. You cannot be helpful if you're not healthy. That's why on 385 00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:36.760 the airplane they always tell you to put your mask on first. You gotta 386 00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:40.679 take care of your health first. And nobody cares about your health more than 387 00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:45.159 you, so you might have to be aggressive. You know, if you 388 00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:47.480 need a test done and you call the doctor and they're not calling you back, 389 00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:52.639 you call back every day, Hey doc, I can be to call 390 00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:58.559 me back. I need to set up disappointment. Don't sit around waiting for 391 00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:05.360 your health to come to you. You don't wait till oh my birthday's over. 392 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:07.480 Now I'm gonna get healthy. Oh, let me wait till Valentine so 393 00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:12.679 I could eat some chocolate. Or let me wait till Saint Patty's Day so 394 00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:16.239 I could drink some beer. Or let me wait till what's in April at 395 00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:22.400 Easter so I can eat the chocolate bunny, Or let me wait till Memorial 396 00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:27.400 Day so I can have that barbecue. And you know, it's like there's 397 00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:31.360 always gonna be something, whether it's Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, your anniversary, 398 00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:37.400 it's your birthday. Every month there's something, so you cannot wait for 399 00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:42.960 everything to be perfect. To start being healthy, you have to start immediately. 400 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:46.559 You got to start today. And maybe that could be my birthday present. 401 00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:50.920 So you know, to my listeners, my loyal listeners, I hear 402 00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:53.719 such great things.

Just finish the gym. 406 00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:15.639 Now I'm gonna go drive home and I'm gonna listen to a healthy podcast. 407 00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:21.000 It might be about the brain, or it might be about nutrition or 408 00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:27.960 it might be about mood stabilization or meditation or mindfulness or physical exercise, or 409 00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:30.119 it might be on how to get good vitamin D. Or it might be 410 00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:35.960 how to be a good boss or how to be a good husband, or 411 00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:39.599 something that's gonna be helpful in my life. So on the way home, 412 00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:47.000 I'm gonna listen to something useful. I'm not gonna listen to sports radio or 413 00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:52.880 some morning talk show, you know, I'm gonna listen to something that's going 414 00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:58.119 to add value to my life.

Welcome back to boost your 432 00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:40.320 brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about my 433 00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:46.039 birthday show today. So I'm going over my routine that makes me the healthiest 434 00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:51.719 I've ever been in my life. So what we've covered so far is the 435 00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.159 morning routine that's the most important. So in the morning, we're gonna do 436 00:38:54.199 --> 00:39:02.000 oil pulling, gonna have the gratitude journal, gonna read the book, gonna 437 00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:08.280 go exercise. I'm gonna drink the pink kimelay and salt in the water, 438 00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:15.159 the solay water on an empty stomach. Now I'm gonna have to food prep 439 00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:21.519 so I don't start eating breakfast till ten am. So I gotta prepare my 440 00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:25.639 food lots of colors. Want to make sure each meal has covered each color 441 00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:30.480 of the rainbow, so I get all my nutrients that gives me my energy. 442 00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:35.480 I need. Make sure I don't overeat, make sure my brain gets 443 00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:39.480 the vitamins and minerals that it needs to function at the highest level. So 444 00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:43.719 we want to eat each color of the rainbow. We're gonna store it in 445 00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.199 glass containers. I'm not gonna put my food in plastic. We don't want 446 00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:52.079 that plastic leaching. So when we store our foods, we're gonna put it 447 00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:57.239 in glass or stainless steel. That's how I stay super healthy. Very little 448 00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:01.519 plastic, very little aluminum. We can't avoid at all. So you gotta 449 00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:07.519 do whatever you can. And it's easy to buy a glass water bottle. 450 00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:14.960 It's easy to buy glass storage containers. It's easy to buy stainless steel cookware 451 00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:22.760 or stainless steel water bottle or stainless steel food container that doesn't leach into the 452 00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:29.480 food. So I meal prep when I come home. After I drink my 453 00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:34.920 water, I'm not eating because it's still you know, around six fifteen six 454 00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:40.239 point thirty. Okay, now I'm meal prep. I already drank my water. 455 00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:46.400 Now I'm gonna go shower, like to put on some music and sing. 456 00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:52.360 That's very good for the brain. It releases and doorphins and serotonin and 457 00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:59.360 dopamine and oxytocin. So that's when I'm having fun. I spend a lot 458 00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:01.760 of time in the show. I might spend twenty thirty minutes in the shower, 459 00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:07.079 and I'm doing brain exercises in the shower. I'm doing gargling, I'm 460 00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:14.360 doing eye exercises, I'm singing. I'm having fun. You know. The 461 00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:19.239 shower is a great time. And then to boost my brain power and improve 462 00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:28.400 my circulation, I end the shower cold, and that is invigorating. You 463 00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:31.719 will not need a cup of coffee if you end your shower cold. And 464 00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:36.239 I do it for thirty seconds and I scream. When you scream, it's 465 00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:39.079 not as bad. And I've been doing this for years and it's still torture. 466 00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:44.719 My wife saw him this morning and she's just laughing at me. Pouring 467 00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:46.119 that cold water makes Why do you want to suffer? I said, that's 468 00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:50.440 not it feels great. You need to suffer it. Makes your brain stronger. 469 00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:58.360 So do that cold water every morning. Now it's six thirty six forty 470 00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:01.000 five. All right, Now my family's getting up, my wife's up, 471 00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:05.280 my kids are up. Now it's time to be the dad, be the 472 00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:09.039 husband, take the dog out for a walk, sit down with the kids 473 00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:15.880 as they eat breakfast, Talk about my wife, make her laugh a little 474 00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:21.599 bit, Help the kids if they need any last minute homework or studying for 475 00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:24.599 their test. And I walk them to the bus stop with the dog. 476 00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:29.159 Then me and the dog. After we drop off the kids, we run 477 00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:32.840 home, get the dog, exercise, get myself a little more exercise, 478 00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:40.599 and now say goodbye to my wife. Ready for work, and then I 479 00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:46.199 treat my patience, usually from like nine to five. I love working. 480 00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:52.400 If you love work, you never work a day in your life, right, 481 00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:57.519 So you gotta love what you do, and you're never working. And 482 00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:02.239 I have the best job in the world. To me with Parkinson's and I 483 00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:09.679 improve their balance and their tremors. People come to me with autism and I 484 00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:16.159 get their kids having eye contact and speaking to their parents for the first time. 485 00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:25.159 I get people with multiple sclerosis getting them to exercise again. I have 486 00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:30.519 people with stroke that I get out of wheelchairs. I have people with severe 487 00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:35.800 vertigo that we fix and migraine headaches where they have to call out of work 488 00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:38.960 and they have to stay in some dark room, and I'm able to give 489 00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:44.320 these people their quality of life. It's the best job in the world. 490 00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:51.719 I literally just get people healthier in natural and holistic ways without any drugs or 491 00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:57.280 surgery, without any risk or side effects. And they're so grateful because we 492 00:43:57.360 --> 00:44:00.679 just get people better and better and better, and they do do it on 493 00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:05.679 their own, so they feel good about themselves. So it's not me just 494 00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:08.000 writing a prescription to give them a pill. That's not what I do. 495 00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:14.079 If you want a doctor who writes prescriptions for pills to cover up symptoms and 496 00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:15.960 not get to the root cause of the problem, I am not the doctor 497 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:21.559 for you. Do not call Caplin Brain and Body. But if you want 498 00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:24.960 to learn how to improve your health, how to get your body to heal 499 00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:29.880 on its own, how to get to the root cause of your health condition, 500 00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:36.880 how to heal yourself, then you call capl and Brain and Body, 501 00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:39.480 and we do lots of tests to figure that out. The best test is 502 00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:45.000 called a qEEG brain mapping. Now this test takes about twenty to thirty minutes. 503 00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:49.840 You wear a cap that has electrodes attached to it, and it measures 504 00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:52.960 all your brain waves and it tells you do you have short term memory, 505 00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:58.639 long term memory, immediate memory, sequential memory problems? Do you have depression, 506 00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:02.159 anxiety? You have a thyroid issue, intestinal inflammation? Do you have 507 00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:06.960 concussion? You have heavy metal poisoning? Do you have lack of motivation? 508 00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:12.239 Do you have problems with sleep? Do you have insomnia? Do you have 509 00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:15.519 difficulty shifting tasks? Do you have problems with executive functions? Do you get 510 00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:19.840 headaches, ringing in the ears, floaters in the eyes, you have balance 511 00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:27.400 problems? Do you have troubles with organization, planning, coordination? This brain 512 00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:32.480 map picks up everything. It's non evasive, there's no radiation, you don't 513 00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:37.079 have to sit in some small tube and it tells us all this valuable information. 514 00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:42.480 And then I could tell you where your weaknesses are and natural holistic ways 515 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:47.000 on how to improve them. This test is normally five hundred dollars, but 516 00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:52.480 for my birthday, we're gonna give a gift to the first seven people that 517 00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:57.519 call, text or email. You can get the entire test for only twenty 518 00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:05.519 one dollars. Also gonna do a v G test, which is where you 519 00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:10.320 wear goggles and measures different eye movements to tell you is your brain overactive, 520 00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:15.800 is it underactive? Which areas are overactive, which areas are underactive. You 521 00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:20.960 know, the areas that are overactive cause the ADHD and the mind racing and 522 00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:25.280 the anxiety, and then maybe those are underactive areas that cause low motivation, 523 00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:32.239 depression, fatigue, low energy. So the VNG test is great for that. 524 00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:37.559 That test is also five hundred dollars, but for my birthday, for 525 00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:40.039 the first seven people to call, text or email, they could get the 526 00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:46.039 VNG also for only twenty one dollars. Third is a one on one with 527 00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:51.519 me where we can go over your blood work, all your brain tests, 528 00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:54.239 your VNG, your qEEG, go over your heart, your lungs, your 529 00:46:54.280 --> 00:46:59.880 gut, your memory, your balance, your posture, your coordination. Takes 530 00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:02.760 forty five minutes, so that one's a little bit longer, but it's the 531 00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:07.079 most important one, and we're gonna give that as a gift to you for 532 00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:10.480 my birthday. Instead of paying five hundred dollars, you only have to pay 533 00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:15.239 twenty one dollars and you can do all three tests and just pay twenty one 534 00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:19.320 dollars each. You just got to be one of the first seven people to 535 00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:22.360 call, text or email.

And if you can't do it live over zoom, you could 547 00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:40.559 get the recording, so you don't have to be available every Tuesday.
