The following is a paid podcast. I Heart Radio's hosting of this podcast constitutes

welcome to boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan.
We always want to come up with ways to improve your nervous system, where
we're not covering up symptoms with a band aid, We're not using too much
medication, we're not doing too many surgeries, not taking too many vitamins and
supplements. And you don't want to take all these things. Oh, I
gotta take this pill to sleep, and this bill to reduce my anxiety,
and this pill to help with my digestion and for my pain. And you
know, we don't want to keep treating symptom after symptom after symptom. It's
always best to get to the root cause of the problem. It's always best
to prevent. Now, most people don't come to me before problems start.
They usually come to me after problems start. And that's just the way it
is. That's the way we've kind of been brought up, is to not
do anything until there's a problem. But we need to change that paradigm.
We need to think in a different way. You only get one body for
your life, so take care of it. It's not that you only get
one life, it's that you only get one body, because if you take
care of that body, that will make your life enjoyable. The most important
thing in life is your health. Without your health, nothing else matters.
And you ask anyone, anyone who people who have the most money, the
most success, the most fame means nothing if you're not healthy. They would
trade all of that in a minute for their health. And you got to
take care of your health first because if you're not healthy, you're not good
to your kids, you're not good for your parents, you're not good for
your community and your friends and your family. Just like they teach you on
the airplane, put your mask on first, then you can help others.
So you've got to prioritize your own health. Always put your health first,
and then you'll be able to take care of others. And that's why we're
here on this earth, is to take care of other people. But if
you're not healthy, you can't take care of other people. And your health
is a full time job from the second you wake up to sleeping that night.
It all has to be healthy. You don't want to start the first
thing in the morning with a failure. And what's the failure the snooze alarm.
That's a failure because you put a goal. You said, I'm gonna
get up at this time, and you press snooze. Get up early,
exercise, read, take your gratitude journal, meditate, listen to some music,
meal prep, spend some time with your family. Get up early,
and you can accomplish before nine o'clock what most people will do in a whole
day. The early bird catches the worm. You want to wake up early,
and you want to go to bed early. A realistic time to go
to bed early and wake up early is ten to six ten pm. You
get two two hours before midnight. That gets your brain functioning at the highest
level. The hours before midnight are the most important. And then you want
to get up early. You want to see the sunrise. When you see
that sunrise, it gets your brain ready. Let me stimulate cortisol, testosterone,
let me boost my energy. You don't need a cup of coffee in
the morning to get you going. You need to exercise, you need to
drink water, You need to see the sun come up. You need to
meditate, do your gratitude journal. That will give you all the power in
the world, all the energy you need, it's all in you. You
don't need energy from coffee, you don't need energy from a B twelve supplement.
You don't need energy from caffeine. You don't need stimulants. Most people's
brains are overactive. You got to calm down. You don't need more stimulants,
and you're gonna drain yourself. It's called adrenal fatigue. People get very
tired, roggy in the morning, crash in the afternoon. That's adrenal fatigue.
Your body is an overdrive for so long you've you'ved up all the gas
in the tank. There's no more energy. Adrenal fatigue. So we got
to relax the nervous system. So it's very important to go to bed early
and to wake up early. And a way to accomplish going to bed early
is consistency. You want to fall asleep the same time every single night,
ten o'clock, ten o'clock, ten o'clock, ten o'clock, and you do
it for twenty one straight days. Then your brain gets in this circadian rhythm
and it's ready. It's ready to go to sleep. You get these sleep
cycles maybe ninety minutes to two hours. If you can get four sleep cycles
every night, that's going to boost your energy. It's gonna boost your brain
power. It's gonna boost your immune system. It's gonna boost your digestive system.
It's gonna boost your cardiovascular system. It's gonna make your skin look good,
it's gonna keep your mood improvements. It's a no brainer, but you've
got to be consistent. It's not ten o'clock one night, ten fifteen the
next night, ten, twenty, ten, h five, nine fifty,
ten, thirty. No, it's gonna be ten ten, ten, ten,
ten ten, every single day for twenty one straight days. Could change
your life. One habit can change your life and sleep. It's one of
the most most important factors to improve your health, your wellbeing, and prevent
future disease or dysfunction. So use the sun to help you sleep. When
you wake up, see the sunrise, when you come home, see the
sun set. Go outside and watch the sun set. That will start to
release melatonin. You don't want to artificially take melatonin to help you sleep.
That's not natural. Use the sun. Get your own brain to reduce the
cortisol at night and to increase the melatonin at night. They're inversely proportional.
So you want cortisol high in the morning watching the sunrise, and then you
want cortisol low in the evening watching the sun set. You want melatonin low
in the morning. That's when we want to exercise, get everything accomplished,
take care of the big tasks of our day. And then we want melotonin
high at night when we need to relax and sleep and get in that RM,
get those delta brain waves going. We've got to get that deep sleep.
That's when you regenerate, rejuvenate, reoxygenate. That's when you take care
of all the crap and you get rid of it and you wake up and
you should have a nice bowel movement in the morning, urinate, you get
rid of all the toxins that your body broke down that evening before. The
human body is amazing, but we don't let it work how it's supposed to,
so we really have to go by the laws of nature, by the
laws of the sun. We also want to follow, you know, the
laws of nature with the light, so meaning if you're inside because the sun
setting, you have to do your own sunset inside. And what I mean
by that they start to dim the lights. The later it gets. Turn
off the electronics. Turn off the TV, the computer, the iPad,
the cell phone, the video games. You have to turn them off because
these smart devices trick the brain into thinking there's more light, and if there's
more light, it's going to stimulate cortisol. We want less lights, so
you got to turn off the screens. You gotta turn off your lights or
dim the lights really low. Use it just a desk lamp, something very
light. Then the brain starts to relax. If it's ten o'clock at night,
the lights are on, the TV's on, cell phones on, the
computers on, the video games are on, then the brain is overstimulated.
And even if you're sleeping at night, it brain is not relaxed. You
might be physically in bed sleeping, but your mind might be going you might
have you know, these intense streams, and you know it might be overstimulated
while you're sleeping. You know, sleeping is the time where you should be
relaxed, and what you're doing in those couple of hours before bedtime are most
vital. Don't watch on TV. Some you know zombie apocalypse right before bed,
Vampires killing each other, you know, Murder Mysteries, SVU, Special
to the Unit, and you know all these intense shows the news. You
know, that's even worse than the fake shows. You know, that's all
fear, all negative energy. That's not what you want to watch right before
bed. You want to read a healthy book. You want to write in
your journal. You want to do a little drawing, Listen to some classical
music. Listen to a funny podcast, something lighthearted, something relaxing. Take
the dog out for a walk, you know, have a conversation with your
family at home. Take up some hobby like crochet or ditting, or sewing,
or art or tapestry or something something without electronics, without light, maybe
something social. Get a dance lesson, take a music lesson, some sort
of class, an electronic class, something maybe where you get out of the
house, see some people. All right, you gotta start thinking like that.
If you do what everyone else does, which is work, eat,
watch TV, sleep, work, eat, watch TV, sleep, you're
gonna end up like everyone else, which is heart disease, cancer, obesity,
diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer's, lung disease, liver disease, kidney disease,
anxiety, depression. If you want to do what everyone else does,
you're gonna end up like everyone else. If you want to be that one
percent, that healthy one percent, you gotta make life changes and you got
to start working. This is boost your brain Power. I'm your host,
Doctor Eric Kaplan. We will continue this conversation when we return from the break.

your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about being that one percent,
and I don't care what the category is. If it's your health, you
gotta put in that extra effort. If it's sports, you gotta put in
that extra effort. If it's business, you gotta put in that extra effort.
If it's spirituality, you gotta put in that extra effort. If it's
charity, you gotta put in that extra effort. Whatever you want to accomplish
in life, if you want to be at that top one percent, you
got to think outside the box. You've got to do things that other people
aren't doing. Now, the stuff that I teach you isn't that complicated.
It's not rocket science and saying hey, let's eat pretty healthy. Let's eat
all the colors of the rainbow every single day. That's how you get your
nutrients. You don't need multivitamins, nobody's deficient in all those vitamins. Get
your nutrients from the earth. God gave us this amazing earth, all these
nice fruits and vegetables and oh my god, the fantastic scenery and all the
animals, and you know, we really need to take care of the earth.
People say, oh, we got to save the world. You don't
have to save the world. The earth will be here long after human beings.
What we need to do is save humanity, because if we destroy the
earth, the earth will destroy us. Okay, the Earth is more powerful
than all the human beings put together. Nothing can compete against the Earth.
So what we have to do is take care of the Earth. We have
to take care of the earth by having clean water. Right we're polluting the
water and the world has to work together. Right now, Japan is putting
their nuclear waste in the Pacific Ocean. You know, they've been doing this
for a long time, from that nuclear power pan instruction. What was it
ten twelve years ago in Japan. Yeah, they still haven't figured out what
to do, so they're just dumping all the nuclear waste in the Pacific Ocean.
And that's where all the fish you are eating, that's where all the
food you are eating comes from. So where all the products you're coming from,
it's all from the Pacific Japan, China. You're Alaskan salmon, right,
and it's like, Oh, I'm so healthy I eat Alaskan salmon.
Well, guess what that Alaskan salmon is radiated from Japan dumping nuclear waste in
the Pacific Ocean, which is close to Alaska. So stay away from the
Pacific Ocean. If you're gonna eat fish, you're gonna eat wildfish, not
farm raised fish. Wild fish. Get it from the Atlantic Ocean. Get
it from Norwegian fish, get from Icelandic fish, Mediterranean fish. That stuff's
healthier. Stay away from the Pacific, but most of the stuff is coming
there an So start understanding where you're getting your food from. It's not just
what you're eating, it's where that food is coming from. It's also how
you're eating. We don't touch food anymore. We gotta start touching our food
like they've always done. You know in India, that's an iravadic medicine.
You want to touch your food. Don't use a fork and a spoon,
don't use chopped sticks, don't cut with a knife. You have your hands,
you have your teeth. Start using your own body as utensils. The
digestive process starts when you touch food. So if you have a fork and
you're not touching the food, you're missing out an important part of an adjustive
process. You know, when you eat an apple, you're holding the apple.
But how come if you eat fish, or chicken or eggs, you
don't use your hands. Start using your hands for all food. Don't cut
it up with a fork and knife, cut it up with your mouth.
Eat put use your hands. Take a whole piece of chicken, bite the
chicken and chew it thirty times. That's how you should eat chicken with your
hand and not cut up using your mouth, using your teeth. But you
have to chew a lot. Chewing is a big part of the digestive process.
You want to chew it so much that you barely have to swallow.
It's just falling down. Start being mindful when you eat. Feel that chicken.
Chew the chicken, smell it, use all your senses, look at
it. But chew, chew, chew, chew, chew. That'll prevent
you from overeating as well. Most people overeat. You get If you chew
for a really long time, that'll prevent you from overeating. If you drink
water a half hour before each meal, that will prevent you from overeating.
If you think about your level of fullness because you're being mindful while you're eating,
that will prevent yourself from overeating. You know, after you've had a
few bites, you think to yourself, am I hungry right now? Not
a my full Not do I feel this fullness in my stomach? Because you
never want to feel fullness in your stomach. That's not healthy. You shouldn't
feel full and you shouldn't feel hungry. That's the key to not feel full
but not feel hungry. So use your mind, say do I feel hungry?
You know, if you're not feeling hungry, then you have to stop
eating and maybe two hours later you might be hungry again. Do I feel
hungry? Then you can finish the meal. So it might be spread out.
Everybody's different, but you got to use that communication. Do I feel
hungry? If you feel full, that's not good. If you're starving,
that's not good either. And the best time to eat is during the daylight
hours. That's the way the world works, that's the way the sun works,
that's the way God intended it. You eat during the daylight and you
rest during the nighttime. That's the type of species we are. That's so
our brains developed, don't fight nature, right, So the best time to
eat is during daylight hours ten to six Okay, that's the strongest daylight hours.
So you want to sleep from ten pm to six am, and you
want to eat from six am. I'm sorry, you want to eat from
ten am to six pm. So that means you have four hours from your
last six pm to bedtime ten pm. And then you also have four hours
from when you wake up at six am to your first meal at ten am,
and don't have coffee in between. That you don't need coffee. You
wake up at six you could drink your solea water that is water with pinkamalayan
salt. Squeeze some lemon in there. If your electrolytes, then you can
exercise. That's what you need to exercise is salt water, just a pinch.
You don't need a lot. You don't want it to taste of salt,
but you need your electrolytes. So I literally just take my warm glass
of lemon water every morning, take a pinch of pinkamlayan salt, and I
have two of those glasses and I do my morning power hour, go exercise,
read a few pages my book, write my goals down, put into
my gratitude journal, do my thirty second meditation. I do a thirty second
meditation every morning. It's powerful, thirty seconds. It's all you gotta do.
Actually, it's called the Relax technique. And I just sit down and
I say relax in my head, over and over. Relax. And I
start at the top of my head and I relax all the muscles at the
top of my head. Then I relax. Then I go to the forehead,
relax my temples, and I go to the jaw. Relax the jaw,
relax the mouth, Relax the neck, relax the shoulders. I'm just
saying in my head, relax, relax, relax, and visually relaxing all
the muscles all the way from the top of my head, all the way
down to my hips, my knees, my ankles, my feet, my
toes, all the way down. I just do thirty relaxes, thirty different
parts as I go down. And if there's a day it's the weekend,
we have a lot of extra time. I'll do it for two minutes,
five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes, so depending on how much extra
time I have. But no matter what, not negotiable is thirty seconds every
single morning you relax. Meditation technique get you going for whatever you gotta do.
I like to do it a transition, a transition from my home life
to work, from my work life to home, or from my work to
gym, or from home to gym, or whatever it is, from work
to basketball. So I do this little meditation gets my brain going. Your
brain is like a muscle. You'll use it or you'll lose it. So
do that every morning in your power hour. If you start off your morning
with all doing those things exercise, meal, prep, meditation, solea water,
you do the gratitude journal, you do all your goals. You spend
some time in nature, see the sunrise. If you do all that in
the more, and you can do that all within an hour, you will
function better, feel better, live a better quality of life. And that's
the key. This is boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor

I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. So we're talking about how to improve
your brain function. So brain function can improve, just like your muscles can
improve. So people understand going to the gym, people understand exercising, going
for walks and runs. And you know, people are always taught that exercise
is important their whole lives. You're also taught, hey, you gotta take
care of your teeth. You gotta brush your teeth and floss every day,
every morning, every evening. We're taught that our whole lives. Take care
of your teeth, take care of your muscles. But who's telling you take
care of your brain. We don't hear that too much. We hear it
kind of in school growing up. You know, hey, go to school,
you got to get your education right. So that's very common to hear.
But education is very different than exercising your brain. Exercising your brain is
a little bit more involved because education is just a subject, math, reading,
science, whatever the subject is, right, that's just one little aspect
of life. There is millions of things that you have to learn, millions,
and in school, what you might get twelve total subjects. And I'm
not saying school is not important, but it's just the very tip of the
iceberg. I'm actually more interested in the extracurricular activities. How about playing some
sports, about taking some music lessons, learning an instrument, how about learning
some skills carpentry, construction, gardening, cooking, sewing. We have to
always be learning. Learn about finances, learn about spirituality. It's not just
the basics. Learning how to be kind to others, learning how to communicate,
learning how to be a good leader, learning how to use your morals
correctly. Life is an endless learning process. If you want your brain to
function at highest level, you must learn new things every day. The neuroscience
is proving that. So you have to exercise your brain and you have to
learn new things every day, things that you've never learned before. I don't
care what it is, but you've got to challenge your brain. You use
it or you lose it, just like a muscle. I know you can
exercise every day, but you've got to do brain exercise every day. And
it's not just doing a crossword causal. That's just one little subject out of
the millions we have to know. So you do crossword puzzle one day,
you do Sudoku the next day, then you do word jumble, then you
do Amaze, then you do chess, then you do scrabble, then you
do checkers, then you do connect four, then you do Uno, then
you do Texas hold them, then you do wordle It's endless. You have
to keep doing new activities that make you think, that challenge your brain,
that might incorporate strategy learning, hopefully something that's social. Don't do scrabble online.
Call your friend and say, hey, come over this Sunday. Let's
do scrabble in person. We'll have lunch, play some scrabble. Be social.
You want to see people's smiles. Again. If you're not social,
your brain will die off. Being social is part of brain rehab. So
not only do you want to do new things, but you want to meet
new people. You want to explore new areas. You want to do new
activities outside of your house with other people. You have to get out of
the house. You want to recipe for depression and anxiety is staying in your
house every single day? Do you work and then you eat, and then
you watch TV and then you go home. Being on social media inside your
house is not being social. Making comments, chatting, texting, dm I
aming is not social. It has to be in person. Just like you
know, a brain cell that's alone will die off. It needs connections,
it needs synapses. People need connections or else they die off. Plants need
connections or they die off. If you have plants in your house, put
them together. Plants are social too. You don't want to have one plant
in one corner, another plant in another corner, and then another plant in
a different room. So if all these plants spread out but they're all alone,
that's sad. They don't like that. They need to be social.
The worst punishment to mankind is solitary confinement. People in jail would rather sleep
next to murderers and rapists rather than be alone in some block and solitary confinement,
you will literally go crazy. So start being social. The worst thing
during the whole COVID pandemic was that we couldn't be social. When they say
social distancing, they literally said you can't stand within six feet of people.
That was ridiculous. They isolated us stay at home. They wanted to hide
from the virus. Well, what we should have done is protected the people
that were most vulnerable. That's the way it's always been done. You don't
cause all these neurologic problems by making people isolated and causing more depression, more
anxiety, more brain disorders, more alcohol abuse, more drug drug abuse,
more fetanol depths. That was created by all these mandates. Even with the
masks, you couldn't see people's facial expressions. It makes people look all the
same. That is very bad for the brain. We're all different, we're
all unique, we're all amazing in our own individuals way, and we need
socialization. We need to be within six feet. We cannot be isolated in
quarantine. We can't cover our faces. We need to be out in the
open and we need to be exposed. You need to go outside. You
need to roll up your sleeves, expose your skin, expose your face,
take off your hat, take off your glasses. Stop hiding. You will
never get the sunlight if you're hidden. And the sunlight, which gives you
vitamin D the best harmone on this planet. Because I say, we'll fix
your thyroid, it'll fix your immune system, it'll fix your brain, it'll
fix your digestion, it'll fix your sleep, it'll fix your mood. It's
nothing more important than vitamin D. And we get it from the sun.
So what we need to do is not be afraid of the sun. You
know, if you have a history of skin cancer, that is different.
But other than that, do not be afraid of the sun. Remember we
said go outside during sunrise so you can get cortisol going. You could boost
your energy, get your brain power going. You want to go outside during
sunset, increase your melatonin, get that good deep sleep, re energize,
reoxygenate, digest all your food, wake up feeling good and healthy. But
then you also need the sun during the middle of the day, lunchtime sometime
between twelve and two where the sun strong is, where it's on top,
and you gotta roll up those sleeves, roll up your pant legs, take
off your glasses. Get skin exposed. That's your eye exposed to that sunlight.
Just for twenty minutes minimum, every day, twenty minutes go outside,
get some sunlight. If you're out there all day, if you're in the
Caribbean or Mexico or Africa or India or somewhere like along the equator and you
have very fair skin, yes you can protect yourself. But the problem is
most of those suntan lotions and sprays are toxic chemicals. They're probably the most
toxic chemicals you can put on your body. So the healthiest thing that's going
to protect you the most is called zinc oxide, and that's all you would
use. That's the only ingredient you want to use. Or if you don't
need that much protection but you want a little you could literally use coconut oil
that's got about a five SPF, So coconut oil can actually protect you from
the sun as well. Right, But for the most time, you don't
want to put anything you don't want protection from the sun. You know,
some people think that they want you to block the sun. So, you
know, some of these scientists and researchers and government officials and think that they
should do this thing called geoengineering where they block the sun by putting chemicals in
the air and the ideas to prevent global warming. However, I don't want
them to block the sun. I want that sun and let alone. They're
putting all these chemicals in the air that's going to go into the water,
in our lungs, in our food, you know, So we don't want
all these toxic chemicals in the air. Plus we don't want to block the
sunlight to begin with, Okay, So we definitely want to get a lot
of sunlight. Get your vitamin D. That is one of the best ways
to prevent depression, help with thyroid hormonal issues, help with your brain,
prevent Alzheimer's, dementia. The list goes on and on with vitamin D.
But you got to take a look at your blood work and see what your
levels are. Most doctors think it's okay if it's between twenty and thirty.
You know, I like it to be forty fifty, sixty, seventy,
So you know, I personally supplement when vitamin D. So it all depends
on what your levels are. And sometimes if you can't get you know,
down in Florida and live in California, you might have to supplement a little
bit, all right, But you gotta get a good quality vitamin D that
is in fat, that has k as e as A, has other things
like calcium and magazium phosphorus to help with absorption. So the vitamin d's that
you will buy aren't healthy. They have impurities, contaminants, they have billers,
they don't get absorbed properly, they're not formulated properly. Even if these
well recognized companies, a lot of them actually do not know how to do
the proper vitamin D supplementation. So if you want a good one, you
can just give me an email info at Kaplin Brain and Body and I'll lead
you to the right direction there. This is boost your brain power. I'm

Doctor Eric Kaplan. So we're talking about vitamin D getting the proper amount
of sunlight getting exposed. So we need a lot of vitamindeeds. The most
common nutritional deficiency I ever see a lot of people take calcium supplements. Those
are very dangerous. You know, most people don't need that. I don't
care if you have osteoporosis if you're senior citizen. If your doctor tells you
to take calcium, it's good for your bones and all that stuff. You
only got to take calcium if you have a big deficiency, so you gotta
look at your blood work. If you're not have a deficiency, then your
body might have excess calcium, and then it's got a deposit. It might
deposited in the breast and lead to breast cancer, and the arteries lead to
heart attacks and strokes, or your bones lead to arthritis and pain. It's
like, don't cause your own problems. You want to be a minimalist,
don't take all these supplements people take to you know, Oh it's natural,
so it's okay. So they take, you know, twenty different supplements.
Got to be careful. So most of the nutrients you're going to get is
from the Sun's from the food. It's from the water, the salt,
the minerals. You're not gonna need to take a lot of medicines and supplements
if you're doing everything right. So live off the earth, live natural as
possible, live holistic, and living on a bunch of vitamins is not natural
and holistic, all right, Living without vitamins and supplements. That is holistic,
not using all that stuff. That means you're doing it the real way
from the earth. But how do you know if you have deficiencies, You
gotta do blood work. How do you know if you have a brain problem,
You gotta do a brain test. The best brain test is called a
q EG brain mapping. A q EG brain mapping measures all your different brain
waves alpha brain waves, beta, theta, delta, an alpha brain wave.
It's just how you kind of normally are pretty much throughout the day.
Beta is when you really got to focus. You really gotta think. You're
reading, you're taking a test, you're at a lecture, you've got to
really think. Theta is more like when you're daydreaming, you're just kind of
looking out the window, listening to the birds, chair kind of in lala
land. And then deltas when you're sleeping, you're out. Your brain should
be relaxed, calm state like that. So there's all there's four different brain
waves, and you want to measure the different brain waves through this q EG
brain mapping and based on the location of where the abnormal brain waves are,
that will tell us how your brain is functioning. It will literally tell us.
Do you have depression? Do you have anxiety? Do you have troubles
with focus? Do you have short term memory problems, long term sequential memory
problems. Do you have troubles with neurotransmissers such as acetocholine or dopamine. Do
you have a thyroid problem. Do you have an intestinal inflammation problem? Do
you have difficulty shifting tasks? Do you have insomnia? Do you have sleep
deprivation? Do you have confusion? Do you get anger? Do you have
aggression? Do you get too much worry? Do you have too much corusol?
Do you have too much stress? This all comes up in this brain
mapping, And the best part is there's no radiation. It's not like a
pet scan or a cat scan or an X ray we have all this radiation.
It's not like these MRIs where you've got to get these contrasts fluids and
sit in these small tubes. You literally just sit in a chair and you
wear a cap that looks like a swimmer's cap and it measures all the different
brain well, it's not invasive, there's no risk, and it literally maps
out your whole brain and tells you which areas are functioning very well and are
not functioning well. Okay, So it's one of the best tests you can
do. And then after we figure out which areas are functioning well in which
areas are not functioning well, we could come up with solutions natural, holistic
and integrative solutions without drugs or medications or supplements or injections or herbs or surgeries
or any zapping or anything like that. We could come up with natural ways
to strengthen your weak areas of brain. Just like you have a physical therapist
can give you exercises to strengthen a torn muscle or heal a sprain or a
strain or something like that. As a functional neurologists, after we do this
q EG brain mapping, we could come up with therapeutic exercises that could strengthen
those weak areas of your brain. It might be some eye exercise or a
different joint movement, or a different light or a sound or balance, or
a memory exercise or a breathing exercise, or could be a lot of different
brain exercises. But we have to do the mapping first to figure out which
areas are weak, because you're only a stronger as your weakest link. So
the q EG brain mapping is the best test for that. That is normally
five hundred dollars, but if you're one of the first seven people that call,
text or email, you could get the q EEG brain mapping for only
twenty one dollars. All you have to do is call or text six four
six two two one six seven three eight, or you can email info at

over. It's called a v A VNG is where where these infrared goggles.
You follow this red light and it goes up and down and left and right
and fast and slow and different angles, and we always met are the different
lobes of the brain using this v technology, no radiation, noninvasive, super
easy. It only takes about twenty minutes to do. But what it does
it tells us the difference between the left side and the right side. Says,
okay, which side's underactive, which side's overactive, which lobe of the
brain is in So the qEEG brain mapping is great for the location, but
the BN is great because it tells us the imbalance is from left to right
the disconnect. So sometimes the left and right brain are disconnected. People might
have some dizziness, headaches, balance problems. They might have some bipolar,
some anxiety, some depression. They might have some schizophrenia, they might have
some tick disorders. So when things are disconnected, you know, their clumsiness,
they bump into things, they get lost easily, they confuse their lefts
and rights. You know, there's a lot of different things that can happen.
So the v AND is the best test to see if there's any disconnection
between the left and the right brain. Test will tell us if it's underactive,
it's overactive, so I might have to do certain things on one side
of the body to calm it down, and then other things on the other
side of the body to stimulate it. That's why the v AND test is
best for that. That test is normally five hundred dollars, but for the
first seven people that call, text or email you can get that test for
only twenty one dollars as well. The number to call or text is six
four six two two one, six seven three eight, or you can email
info at Kaplan, brain embody dot com. Now there's more. The next
recommended neurologic evaluation is a one on one with me, and a one on
one with me is where we go over your history. We go over your
blood work, your deficiencies, your supplementation, your medications. We go over
your test results, your QEG, your v you know, we look at
your heart, your oxygen levels, your balance, your reflexes, your posture,
your alignment, your balance, your memory. We can do a whole
evaluation, a whole console takes about forty five minutes to go through everything,
go over your health goals, and then we come up with your solutions that
are going to be natural and holistic. That one on one with me is
also normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people that call email
text can also get that for twenty one dollars, And if you want,
you could sign up for all three. So you could sign up for all
three and only pay sixty three dollars twenty one dollars for each valuation. Just
say you want to be one of the first seven people to do the VNG,
the q EG, and the one on one with me, Doctor Kaplan.
