I Heart Radio's hosting of this podcast constitutes 2 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:09.679 neither an endorsement of the products offered or the ideas expressed. Hello, and 3 00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:15.119 welcome to boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. 4 00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:20.879 We always want to come up with ways to improve your nervous system, where 5 00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:26.039 we're not covering up symptoms with a band aid, We're not using too much 6 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:31.160 medication, we're not doing too many surgeries, not taking too many vitamins and 7 00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.479 supplements. And you don't want to take all these things. Oh, I 8 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:38.719 gotta take this pill to sleep, and this bill to reduce my anxiety, 9 00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:43.439 and this pill to help with my digestion and for my pain. And you 10 00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:47.960 know, we don't want to keep treating symptom after symptom after symptom. It's 11 00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:52.079 always best to get to the root cause of the problem. It's always best 12 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:58.159 to prevent. Now, most people don't come to me before problems start. 13 00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:03.600 They usually come to me after problems start. And that's just the way it 14 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.319 is. That's the way we've kind of been brought up, is to not 15 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.760 do anything until there's a problem. But we need to change that paradigm. 16 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:19.000 We need to think in a different way. You only get one body for 17 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.200 your life, so take care of it. It's not that you only get 18 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:29.200 one life, it's that you only get one body, because if you take 19 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:34.879 care of that body, that will make your life enjoyable. The most important 20 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:40.920 thing in life is your health. Without your health, nothing else matters. 21 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:46.439 And you ask anyone, anyone who people who have the most money, the 22 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:52.200 most success, the most fame means nothing if you're not healthy. They would 23 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:57.719 trade all of that in a minute for their health. And you got to 24 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:02.400 take care of your health first because if you're not healthy, you're not good 25 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.039 to your kids, you're not good for your parents, you're not good for 26 00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:13.960 your community and your friends and your family. Just like they teach you on 27 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:20.120 the airplane, put your mask on first, then you can help others. 28 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:27.240 So you've got to prioritize your own health. Always put your health first, 29 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.800 and then you'll be able to take care of others. And that's why we're 30 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.680 here on this earth, is to take care of other people. But if 31 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.680 you're not healthy, you can't take care of other people. And your health 32 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:47.919 is a full time job from the second you wake up to sleeping that night. 33 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:55.520 It all has to be healthy. You don't want to start the first 34 00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:02.840 thing in the morning with a failure. And what's the failure the snooze alarm. 35 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.199 That's a failure because you put a goal. You said, I'm gonna 36 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:12.280 get up at this time, and you press snooze. Get up early, 37 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:23.560 exercise, read, take your gratitude journal, meditate, listen to some music, 38 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:34.159 meal prep, spend some time with your family. Get up early, 39 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.639 and you can accomplish before nine o'clock what most people will do in a whole 40 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:46.120 day. The early bird catches the worm. You want to wake up early, 41 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:53.639 and you want to go to bed early. A realistic time to go 42 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:59.560 to bed early and wake up early is ten to six ten pm. You 43 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:04.360 get two two hours before midnight. That gets your brain functioning at the highest 44 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:10.960 level. The hours before midnight are the most important. And then you want 45 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:15.240 to get up early. You want to see the sunrise. When you see 46 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:21.360 that sunrise, it gets your brain ready. Let me stimulate cortisol, testosterone, 47 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:27.800 let me boost my energy. You don't need a cup of coffee in 48 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.519 the morning to get you going. You need to exercise, you need to 49 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:38.399 drink water, You need to see the sun come up. You need to 50 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:45.759 meditate, do your gratitude journal. That will give you all the power in 51 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.160 the world, all the energy you need, it's all in you. You 52 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:56.240 don't need energy from coffee, you don't need energy from a B twelve supplement. 53 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:05.959 You don't need energy from caffeine. You don't need stimulants. Most people's 54 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:10.399 brains are overactive. You got to calm down. You don't need more stimulants, 55 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:16.720 and you're gonna drain yourself. It's called adrenal fatigue. People get very 56 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:24.680 tired, roggy in the morning, crash in the afternoon. That's adrenal fatigue. 57 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.240 Your body is an overdrive for so long you've you'ved up all the gas 58 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:38.439 in the tank. There's no more energy. Adrenal fatigue. So we got 59 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:46.800 to relax the nervous system. So it's very important to go to bed early 60 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:53.480 and to wake up early. And a way to accomplish going to bed early 61 00:05:53.639 --> 00:06:00.360 is consistency. You want to fall asleep the same time every single night, 62 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.199 ten o'clock, ten o'clock, ten o'clock, ten o'clock, and you do 63 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:09.560 it for twenty one straight days. Then your brain gets in this circadian rhythm 64 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.720 and it's ready. It's ready to go to sleep. You get these sleep 65 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.600 cycles maybe ninety minutes to two hours. If you can get four sleep cycles 66 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.920 every night, that's going to boost your energy. It's gonna boost your brain 67 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.519 power. It's gonna boost your immune system. It's gonna boost your digestive system. 68 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:31.680 It's gonna boost your cardiovascular system. It's gonna make your skin look good, 69 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:40.120 it's gonna keep your mood improvements. It's a no brainer, but you've 70 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:45.279 got to be consistent. It's not ten o'clock one night, ten fifteen the 71 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.920 next night, ten, twenty, ten, h five, nine fifty, 72 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:55.160 ten, thirty. No, it's gonna be ten ten, ten, ten, 73 00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:00.560 ten ten, every single day for twenty one straight days. Could change 74 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.240 your life. One habit can change your life and sleep. It's one of 75 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:09.920 the most most important factors to improve your health, your wellbeing, and prevent 76 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:17.199 future disease or dysfunction. So use the sun to help you sleep. When 77 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:21.360 you wake up, see the sunrise, when you come home, see the 78 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:29.079 sun set. Go outside and watch the sun set. That will start to 79 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:33.199 release melatonin. You don't want to artificially take melatonin to help you sleep. 80 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:41.680 That's not natural. Use the sun. Get your own brain to reduce the 81 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.439 cortisol at night and to increase the melatonin at night. They're inversely proportional. 82 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.839 So you want cortisol high in the morning watching the sunrise, and then you 83 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:59.360 want cortisol low in the evening watching the sun set. You want melatonin low 84 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.720 in the morning. That's when we want to exercise, get everything accomplished, 85 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:09.120 take care of the big tasks of our day. And then we want melotonin 86 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.800 high at night when we need to relax and sleep and get in that RM, 87 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:20.920 get those delta brain waves going. We've got to get that deep sleep. 88 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:30.040 That's when you regenerate, rejuvenate, reoxygenate. That's when you take care 89 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.879 of all the crap and you get rid of it and you wake up and 90 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.360 you should have a nice bowel movement in the morning, urinate, you get 91 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:45.320 rid of all the toxins that your body broke down that evening before. The 92 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.960 human body is amazing, but we don't let it work how it's supposed to, 93 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.240 so we really have to go by the laws of nature, by the 94 00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:01.679 laws of the sun. We also want to follow, you know, the 95 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:07.799 laws of nature with the light, so meaning if you're inside because the sun 96 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:13.159 setting, you have to do your own sunset inside. And what I mean 97 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.440 by that they start to dim the lights. The later it gets. Turn 98 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:24.840 off the electronics. Turn off the TV, the computer, the iPad, 99 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:33.200 the cell phone, the video games. You have to turn them off because 100 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:41.600 these smart devices trick the brain into thinking there's more light, and if there's 101 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.759 more light, it's going to stimulate cortisol. We want less lights, so 102 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.000 you got to turn off the screens. You gotta turn off your lights or 103 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.679 dim the lights really low. Use it just a desk lamp, something very 104 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:05.879 light. Then the brain starts to relax. If it's ten o'clock at night, 105 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.840 the lights are on, the TV's on, cell phones on, the 106 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:18.120 computers on, the video games are on, then the brain is overstimulated. 107 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:24.879 And even if you're sleeping at night, it brain is not relaxed. You 108 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.679 might be physically in bed sleeping, but your mind might be going you might 109 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.080 have you know, these intense streams, and you know it might be overstimulated 110 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.360 while you're sleeping. You know, sleeping is the time where you should be 111 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:43.879 relaxed, and what you're doing in those couple of hours before bedtime are most 112 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:52.399 vital. Don't watch on TV. Some you know zombie apocalypse right before bed, 113 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:58.639 Vampires killing each other, you know, Murder Mysteries, SVU, Special 114 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:05.840 to the Unit, and you know all these intense shows the news. You 115 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.799 know, that's even worse than the fake shows. You know, that's all 116 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:15.320 fear, all negative energy. That's not what you want to watch right before 117 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:20.720 bed. You want to read a healthy book. You want to write in 118 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:26.759 your journal. You want to do a little drawing, Listen to some classical 119 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:39.320 music. Listen to a funny podcast, something lighthearted, something relaxing. Take 120 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:45.200 the dog out for a walk, you know, have a conversation with your 121 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:52.480 family at home. Take up some hobby like crochet or ditting, or sewing, 122 00:11:52.639 --> 00:12:01.200 or art or tapestry or something something without electronics, without light, maybe 123 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:07.039 something social. Get a dance lesson, take a music lesson, some sort 124 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:15.600 of class, an electronic class, something maybe where you get out of the 125 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:20.639 house, see some people. All right, you gotta start thinking like that. 126 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.000 If you do what everyone else does, which is work, eat, 127 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.159 watch TV, sleep, work, eat, watch TV, sleep, you're 128 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.519 gonna end up like everyone else, which is heart disease, cancer, obesity, 129 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.360 diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer's, lung disease, liver disease, kidney disease, 130 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.360 anxiety, depression. If you want to do what everyone else does, 131 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.240 you're gonna end up like everyone else. If you want to be that one 132 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:50.440 percent, that healthy one percent, you gotta make life changes and you got 133 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.840 to start working.

Welcome back to boost your brain power. I'm 148 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:07.240 your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about being that one percent, 149 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.919 and I don't care what the category is. If it's your health, you 150 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.559 gotta put in that extra effort. If it's sports, you gotta put in 151 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:22.559 that extra effort. If it's business, you gotta put in that extra effort. 152 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.399 If it's spirituality, you gotta put in that extra effort. If it's 153 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.480 charity, you gotta put in that extra effort. Whatever you want to accomplish 154 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.960 in life, if you want to be at that top one percent, you 155 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.039 got to think outside the box. You've got to do things that other people 156 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:45.679 aren't doing. Now, the stuff that I teach you isn't that complicated. 157 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:50.519 It's not rocket science and saying hey, let's eat pretty healthy. Let's eat 158 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.240 all the colors of the rainbow every single day. That's how you get your 159 00:14:54.279 --> 00:15:01.879 nutrients. You don't need multivitamins, nobody's deficient in all those vitamins. Get 160 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:07.679 your nutrients from the earth. God gave us this amazing earth, all these 161 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:13.360 nice fruits and vegetables and oh my god, the fantastic scenery and all the 162 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.000 animals, and you know, we really need to take care of the earth. 163 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.360 People say, oh, we got to save the world. You don't 164 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:28.360 have to save the world. The earth will be here long after human beings. 165 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.519 What we need to do is save humanity, because if we destroy the 166 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:39.679 earth, the earth will destroy us. Okay, the Earth is more powerful 167 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.399 than all the human beings put together. Nothing can compete against the Earth. 168 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.120 So what we have to do is take care of the Earth. We have 169 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:56.000 to take care of the earth by having clean water. Right we're polluting the 170 00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:03.039 water and the world has to work together. Right now, Japan is putting 171 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.919 their nuclear waste in the Pacific Ocean. You know, they've been doing this 172 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:12.360 for a long time, from that nuclear power pan instruction. What was it 173 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:18.080 ten twelve years ago in Japan. Yeah, they still haven't figured out what 174 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.360 to do, so they're just dumping all the nuclear waste in the Pacific Ocean. 175 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:23.879 And that's where all the fish you are eating, that's where all the 176 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:29.039 food you are eating comes from. So where all the products you're coming from, 177 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:37.600 it's all from the Pacific Japan, China. You're Alaskan salmon, right, 178 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.480 and it's like, Oh, I'm so healthy I eat Alaskan salmon. 179 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:47.559 Well, guess what that Alaskan salmon is radiated from Japan dumping nuclear waste in 180 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:52.799 the Pacific Ocean, which is close to Alaska. So stay away from the 181 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.600 Pacific Ocean. If you're gonna eat fish, you're gonna eat wildfish, not 182 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:03.039 farm raised fish. Wild fish. Get it from the Atlantic Ocean. Get 183 00:17:03.079 --> 00:17:11.599 it from Norwegian fish, get from Icelandic fish, Mediterranean fish. That stuff's 184 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.480 healthier. Stay away from the Pacific, but most of the stuff is coming 185 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:22.039 there an So start understanding where you're getting your food from. It's not just 186 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:27.480 what you're eating, it's where that food is coming from. It's also how 187 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:32.880 you're eating. We don't touch food anymore. We gotta start touching our food 188 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.400 like they've always done. You know in India, that's an iravadic medicine. 189 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.039 You want to touch your food. Don't use a fork and a spoon, 190 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:53.440 don't use chopped sticks, don't cut with a knife. You have your hands, 191 00:17:55.119 --> 00:18:03.160 you have your teeth. Start using your own body as utensils. The 192 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:10.160 digestive process starts when you touch food. So if you have a fork and 193 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.759 you're not touching the food, you're missing out an important part of an adjustive 194 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:19.400 process. You know, when you eat an apple, you're holding the apple. 195 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:30.119 But how come if you eat fish, or chicken or eggs, you 196 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:37.720 don't use your hands. Start using your hands for all food. Don't cut 197 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.519 it up with a fork and knife, cut it up with your mouth. 198 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.240 Eat put use your hands. Take a whole piece of chicken, bite the 199 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:56.039 chicken and chew it thirty times. That's how you should eat chicken with your 200 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:03.240 hand and not cut up using your mouth, using your teeth. But you 201 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:08.279 have to chew a lot. Chewing is a big part of the digestive process. 202 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.920 You want to chew it so much that you barely have to swallow. 203 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:19.920 It's just falling down. Start being mindful when you eat. Feel that chicken. 204 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:30.559 Chew the chicken, smell it, use all your senses, look at 205 00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:36.839 it. But chew, chew, chew, chew, chew. That'll prevent 206 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:42.680 you from overeating as well. Most people overeat. You get If you chew 207 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:48.640 for a really long time, that'll prevent you from overeating. If you drink 208 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:53.599 water a half hour before each meal, that will prevent you from overeating. 209 00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:03.720 If you think about your level of fullness because you're being mindful while you're eating, 210 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:10.799 that will prevent yourself from overeating. You know, after you've had a 211 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:18.640 few bites, you think to yourself, am I hungry right now? Not 212 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:21.839 a my full Not do I feel this fullness in my stomach? Because you 213 00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:25.799 never want to feel fullness in your stomach. That's not healthy. You shouldn't 214 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:34.960 feel full and you shouldn't feel hungry. That's the key to not feel full 215 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.519 but not feel hungry. So use your mind, say do I feel hungry? 216 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.880 You know, if you're not feeling hungry, then you have to stop 217 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:51.839 eating and maybe two hours later you might be hungry again. Do I feel 218 00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:56.680 hungry? Then you can finish the meal. So it might be spread out. 219 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:03.759 Everybody's different, but you got to use that communication. Do I feel 220 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:10.839 hungry? If you feel full, that's not good. If you're starving, 221 00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:15.519 that's not good either. And the best time to eat is during the daylight 222 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.720 hours. That's the way the world works, that's the way the sun works, 223 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:25.240 that's the way God intended it. You eat during the daylight and you 224 00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:30.440 rest during the nighttime. That's the type of species we are. That's so 225 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:37.240 our brains developed, don't fight nature, right, So the best time to 226 00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:42.759 eat is during daylight hours ten to six Okay, that's the strongest daylight hours. 227 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:48.240 So you want to sleep from ten pm to six am, and you 228 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:51.880 want to eat from six am. I'm sorry, you want to eat from 229 00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:59.480 ten am to six pm. So that means you have four hours from your 230 00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:06.400 last six pm to bedtime ten pm. And then you also have four hours 231 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:12.759 from when you wake up at six am to your first meal at ten am, 232 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:17.000 and don't have coffee in between. That you don't need coffee. You 233 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:22.359 wake up at six you could drink your solea water that is water with pinkamalayan 234 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:27.119 salt. Squeeze some lemon in there. If your electrolytes, then you can 235 00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:34.880 exercise. That's what you need to exercise is salt water, just a pinch. 236 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.440 You don't need a lot. You don't want it to taste of salt, 237 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:42.240 but you need your electrolytes. So I literally just take my warm glass 238 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:47.599 of lemon water every morning, take a pinch of pinkamlayan salt, and I 239 00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:53.960 have two of those glasses and I do my morning power hour, go exercise, 240 00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:03.480 read a few pages my book, write my goals down, put into 241 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:11.519 my gratitude journal, do my thirty second meditation. I do a thirty second 242 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.160 meditation every morning. It's powerful, thirty seconds. It's all you gotta do. 243 00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:22.680 Actually, it's called the Relax technique. And I just sit down and 244 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.720 I say relax in my head, over and over. Relax. And I 245 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.319 start at the top of my head and I relax all the muscles at the 246 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:33.480 top of my head. Then I relax. Then I go to the forehead, 247 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.279 relax my temples, and I go to the jaw. Relax the jaw, 248 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:42.160 relax the mouth, Relax the neck, relax the shoulders. I'm just 249 00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:48.119 saying in my head, relax, relax, relax, and visually relaxing all 250 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.279 the muscles all the way from the top of my head, all the way 251 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:55.640 down to my hips, my knees, my ankles, my feet, my 252 00:23:55.720 --> 00:24:00.960 toes, all the way down. I just do thirty relaxes, thirty different 253 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.440 parts as I go down. And if there's a day it's the weekend, 254 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.519 we have a lot of extra time. I'll do it for two minutes, 255 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:10.759 five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes, so depending on how much extra 256 00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:14.960 time I have. But no matter what, not negotiable is thirty seconds every 257 00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:19.799 single morning you relax. Meditation technique get you going for whatever you gotta do. 258 00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:23.480 I like to do it a transition, a transition from my home life 259 00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:27.720 to work, from my work life to home, or from my work to 260 00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:32.839 gym, or from home to gym, or whatever it is, from work 261 00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:37.720 to basketball. So I do this little meditation gets my brain going. Your 262 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.640 brain is like a muscle. You'll use it or you'll lose it. So 263 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.000 do that every morning in your power hour. If you start off your morning 264 00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:52.079 with all doing those things exercise, meal, prep, meditation, solea water, 265 00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.039 you do the gratitude journal, you do all your goals. You spend 266 00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.640 some time in nature, see the sunrise. If you do all that in 267 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.039 the more, and you can do that all within an hour, you will 268 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.359 function better, feel better, live a better quality of life. And that's 269 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.039 the key. This is boost your brain power.

Welcome back to boost your brain power. 282 00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:18.319 I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. So we're talking about how to improve 283 00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:26.319 your brain function. So brain function can improve, just like your muscles can 284 00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:33.839 improve. So people understand going to the gym, people understand exercising, going 285 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.680 for walks and runs. And you know, people are always taught that exercise 286 00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:44.720 is important their whole lives. You're also taught, hey, you gotta take 287 00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:48.079 care of your teeth. You gotta brush your teeth and floss every day, 288 00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.319 every morning, every evening. We're taught that our whole lives. Take care 289 00:26:52.319 --> 00:27:03.039 of your teeth, take care of your muscles. But who's telling you take 290 00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:08.319 care of your brain. We don't hear that too much. We hear it 291 00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:12.839 kind of in school growing up. You know, hey, go to school, 292 00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:18.559 you got to get your education right. So that's very common to hear. 293 00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:30.160 But education is very different than exercising your brain. Exercising your brain is 294 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:37.119 a little bit more involved because education is just a subject, math, reading, 295 00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:45.359 science, whatever the subject is, right, that's just one little aspect 296 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:53.039 of life. There is millions of things that you have to learn, millions, 297 00:27:55.079 --> 00:28:02.440 and in school, what you might get twelve total subjects. And I'm 298 00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:07.319 not saying school is not important, but it's just the very tip of the 299 00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:17.200 iceberg. I'm actually more interested in the extracurricular activities. How about playing some 300 00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:26.839 sports, about taking some music lessons, learning an instrument, how about learning 301 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:42.119 some skills carpentry, construction, gardening, cooking, sewing. We have to 302 00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:53.839 always be learning. Learn about finances, learn about spirituality. It's not just 303 00:28:53.920 --> 00:29:00.720 the basics. Learning how to be kind to others, learning how to communicate, 304 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:11.599 learning how to be a good leader, learning how to use your morals 305 00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:21.759 correctly. Life is an endless learning process. If you want your brain to 306 00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:27.240 function at highest level, you must learn new things every day. The neuroscience 307 00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:33.839 is proving that. So you have to exercise your brain and you have to 308 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:41.640 learn new things every day, things that you've never learned before. I don't 309 00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:47.119 care what it is, but you've got to challenge your brain. You use 310 00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:52.079 it or you lose it, just like a muscle. I know you can 311 00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:56.000 exercise every day, but you've got to do brain exercise every day. And 312 00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:06.400 it's not just doing a crossword causal. That's just one little subject out of 313 00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:12.160 the millions we have to know. So you do crossword puzzle one day, 314 00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:22.640 you do Sudoku the next day, then you do word jumble, then you 315 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:29.279 do Amaze, then you do chess, then you do scrabble, then you 316 00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:32.720 do checkers, then you do connect four, then you do Uno, then 317 00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:42.880 you do Texas hold them, then you do wordle It's endless. You have 318 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:49.519 to keep doing new activities that make you think, that challenge your brain, 319 00:30:51.039 --> 00:31:03.039 that might incorporate strategy learning, hopefully something that's social. Don't do scrabble online. 320 00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.759 Call your friend and say, hey, come over this Sunday. Let's 321 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:17.279 do scrabble in person. We'll have lunch, play some scrabble. Be social. 322 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:26.480 You want to see people's smiles. Again. If you're not social, 323 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:36.960 your brain will die off. Being social is part of brain rehab. So 324 00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:40.839 not only do you want to do new things, but you want to meet 325 00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.680 new people. You want to explore new areas. You want to do new 326 00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:56.279 activities outside of your house with other people. You have to get out of 327 00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:04.119 the house. You want to recipe for depression and anxiety is staying in your 328 00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:09.720 house every single day? Do you work and then you eat, and then 329 00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:15.960 you watch TV and then you go home. Being on social media inside your 330 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:28.000 house is not being social. Making comments, chatting, texting, dm I 331 00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:38.240 aming is not social. It has to be in person. Just like you 332 00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:45.799 know, a brain cell that's alone will die off. It needs connections, 333 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:53.759 it needs synapses. People need connections or else they die off. Plants need 334 00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:58.240 connections or they die off. If you have plants in your house, put 335 00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:00.559 them together. Plants are social too. You don't want to have one plant 336 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:05.240 in one corner, another plant in another corner, and then another plant in 337 00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:07.680 a different room. So if all these plants spread out but they're all alone, 338 00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:13.799 that's sad. They don't like that. They need to be social. 339 00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:24.920 The worst punishment to mankind is solitary confinement. People in jail would rather sleep 340 00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:35.279 next to murderers and rapists rather than be alone in some block and solitary confinement, 341 00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:44.880 you will literally go crazy. So start being social. The worst thing 342 00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:52.440 during the whole COVID pandemic was that we couldn't be social. When they say 343 00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:57.599 social distancing, they literally said you can't stand within six feet of people. 344 00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:06.160 That was ridiculous. They isolated us stay at home. They wanted to hide 345 00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:12.239 from the virus. Well, what we should have done is protected the people 346 00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:17.760 that were most vulnerable. That's the way it's always been done. You don't 347 00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:25.119 cause all these neurologic problems by making people isolated and causing more depression, more 348 00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:34.119 anxiety, more brain disorders, more alcohol abuse, more drug drug abuse, 349 00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:43.800 more fetanol depths. That was created by all these mandates. Even with the 350 00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:50.719 masks, you couldn't see people's facial expressions. It makes people look all the 351 00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:55.400 same. That is very bad for the brain. We're all different, we're 352 00:34:55.400 --> 00:35:02.519 all unique, we're all amazing in our own individuals way, and we need 353 00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:09.079 socialization. We need to be within six feet. We cannot be isolated in 354 00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:15.960 quarantine. We can't cover our faces. We need to be out in the 355 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:20.119 open and we need to be exposed. You need to go outside. You 356 00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:24.119 need to roll up your sleeves, expose your skin, expose your face, 357 00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:30.400 take off your hat, take off your glasses. Stop hiding. You will 358 00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:37.920 never get the sunlight if you're hidden. And the sunlight, which gives you 359 00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:44.079 vitamin D the best harmone on this planet. Because I say, we'll fix 360 00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.719 your thyroid, it'll fix your immune system, it'll fix your brain, it'll 361 00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:52.159 fix your digestion, it'll fix your sleep, it'll fix your mood. It's 362 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:55.280 nothing more important than vitamin D. And we get it from the sun. 363 00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:04.039 So what we need to do is not be afraid of the sun. You 364 00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:06.559 know, if you have a history of skin cancer, that is different. 365 00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:12.840 But other than that, do not be afraid of the sun. Remember we 366 00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:16.400 said go outside during sunrise so you can get cortisol going. You could boost 367 00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:21.360 your energy, get your brain power going. You want to go outside during 368 00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:29.199 sunset, increase your melatonin, get that good deep sleep, re energize, 369 00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:37.159 reoxygenate, digest all your food, wake up feeling good and healthy. But 370 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:39.719 then you also need the sun during the middle of the day, lunchtime sometime 371 00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:43.400 between twelve and two where the sun strong is, where it's on top, 372 00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:46.679 and you gotta roll up those sleeves, roll up your pant legs, take 373 00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:52.559 off your glasses. Get skin exposed. That's your eye exposed to that sunlight. 374 00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:55.920 Just for twenty minutes minimum, every day, twenty minutes go outside, 375 00:36:55.960 --> 00:37:01.280 get some sunlight. If you're out there all day, if you're in the 376 00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:07.079 Caribbean or Mexico or Africa or India or somewhere like along the equator and you 377 00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:13.519 have very fair skin, yes you can protect yourself. But the problem is 378 00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:17.119 most of those suntan lotions and sprays are toxic chemicals. They're probably the most 379 00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:22.679 toxic chemicals you can put on your body. So the healthiest thing that's going 380 00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:25.280 to protect you the most is called zinc oxide, and that's all you would 381 00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:28.480 use. That's the only ingredient you want to use. Or if you don't 382 00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:31.079 need that much protection but you want a little you could literally use coconut oil 383 00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:37.880 that's got about a five SPF, So coconut oil can actually protect you from 384 00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:39.800 the sun as well. Right, But for the most time, you don't 385 00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:44.000 want to put anything you don't want protection from the sun. You know, 386 00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:49.039 some people think that they want you to block the sun. So, you 387 00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:54.039 know, some of these scientists and researchers and government officials and think that they 388 00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:59.880 should do this thing called geoengineering where they block the sun by putting chemicals in 389 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:05.599 the air and the ideas to prevent global warming. However, I don't want 390 00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:07.840 them to block the sun. I want that sun and let alone. They're 391 00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:10.559 putting all these chemicals in the air that's going to go into the water, 392 00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:15.519 in our lungs, in our food, you know, So we don't want 393 00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:17.760 all these toxic chemicals in the air. Plus we don't want to block the 394 00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:23.639 sunlight to begin with, Okay, So we definitely want to get a lot 395 00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:27.960 of sunlight. Get your vitamin D. That is one of the best ways 396 00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:32.599 to prevent depression, help with thyroid hormonal issues, help with your brain, 397 00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:37.360 prevent Alzheimer's, dementia. The list goes on and on with vitamin D. 398 00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:39.679 But you got to take a look at your blood work and see what your 399 00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:44.800 levels are. Most doctors think it's okay if it's between twenty and thirty. 400 00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:47.280 You know, I like it to be forty fifty, sixty, seventy, 401 00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:54.199 So you know, I personally supplement when vitamin D. So it all depends 402 00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:59.880 on what your levels are. And sometimes if you can't get you know, 403 00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:02.960 down in Florida and live in California, you might have to supplement a little 404 00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:07.880 bit, all right, But you gotta get a good quality vitamin D that 405 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:13.280 is in fat, that has k as e as A, has other things 406 00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:17.960 like calcium and magazium phosphorus to help with absorption. So the vitamin d's that 407 00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:24.119 you will buy aren't healthy. They have impurities, contaminants, they have billers, 408 00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:29.719 they don't get absorbed properly, they're not formulated properly. Even if these 409 00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:32.079 well recognized companies, a lot of them actually do not know how to do 410 00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:37.000 the proper vitamin D supplementation. So if you want a good one, you 411 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.280 can just give me an email info at Kaplin Brain and Body and I'll lead 412 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:44.880 you to the right direction there.

Welcome back to boost your brain power. I'm your host, 427 00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:57.119 Doctor Eric Kaplan. So we're talking about vitamin D getting the proper amount 428 00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:01.480 of sunlight getting exposed. So we need a lot of vitamindeeds. The most 429 00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:07.880 common nutritional deficiency I ever see a lot of people take calcium supplements. Those 430 00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:12.000 are very dangerous. You know, most people don't need that. I don't 431 00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:16.400 care if you have osteoporosis if you're senior citizen. If your doctor tells you 432 00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:21.480 to take calcium, it's good for your bones and all that stuff. You 433 00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:23.639 only got to take calcium if you have a big deficiency, so you gotta 434 00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:27.760 look at your blood work. If you're not have a deficiency, then your 435 00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:30.880 body might have excess calcium, and then it's got a deposit. It might 436 00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:35.840 deposited in the breast and lead to breast cancer, and the arteries lead to 437 00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:39.400 heart attacks and strokes, or your bones lead to arthritis and pain. It's 438 00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:44.320 like, don't cause your own problems. You want to be a minimalist, 439 00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:49.599 don't take all these supplements people take to you know, Oh it's natural, 440 00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:52.599 so it's okay. So they take, you know, twenty different supplements. 441 00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:57.599 Got to be careful. So most of the nutrients you're going to get is 442 00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:01.159 from the Sun's from the food. It's from the water, the salt, 443 00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:07.360 the minerals. You're not gonna need to take a lot of medicines and supplements 444 00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:10.599 if you're doing everything right. So live off the earth, live natural as 445 00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:15.639 possible, live holistic, and living on a bunch of vitamins is not natural 446 00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:22.239 and holistic, all right, Living without vitamins and supplements. That is holistic, 447 00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.119 not using all that stuff. That means you're doing it the real way 448 00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:29.920 from the earth. But how do you know if you have deficiencies, You 449 00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:32.800 gotta do blood work. How do you know if you have a brain problem, 450 00:42:32.960 --> 00:42:37.400 You gotta do a brain test. The best brain test is called a 451 00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:45.320 q EG brain mapping. A q EG brain mapping measures all your different brain 452 00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:52.199 waves alpha brain waves, beta, theta, delta, an alpha brain wave. 453 00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:54.960 It's just how you kind of normally are pretty much throughout the day. 454 00:42:57.239 --> 00:43:00.119 Beta is when you really got to focus. You really gotta think. You're 455 00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:05.239 reading, you're taking a test, you're at a lecture, you've got to 456 00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:10.159 really think. Theta is more like when you're daydreaming, you're just kind of 457 00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:15.000 looking out the window, listening to the birds, chair kind of in lala 458 00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:21.280 land. And then deltas when you're sleeping, you're out. Your brain should 459 00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:24.760 be relaxed, calm state like that. So there's all there's four different brain 460 00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:29.519 waves, and you want to measure the different brain waves through this q EG 461 00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:36.559 brain mapping and based on the location of where the abnormal brain waves are, 462 00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:42.199 that will tell us how your brain is functioning. It will literally tell us. 463 00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:45.960 Do you have depression? Do you have anxiety? Do you have troubles 464 00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:51.480 with focus? Do you have short term memory problems, long term sequential memory 465 00:43:51.559 --> 00:43:59.000 problems. Do you have troubles with neurotransmissers such as acetocholine or dopamine. Do 466 00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:05.119 you have a thyroid problem. Do you have an intestinal inflammation problem? Do 467 00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:09.079 you have difficulty shifting tasks? Do you have insomnia? Do you have sleep 468 00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:15.239 deprivation? Do you have confusion? Do you get anger? Do you have 469 00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:21.360 aggression? Do you get too much worry? Do you have too much corusol? 470 00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:24.800 Do you have too much stress? This all comes up in this brain 471 00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:29.280 mapping, And the best part is there's no radiation. It's not like a 472 00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:32.800 pet scan or a cat scan or an X ray we have all this radiation. 473 00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:37.840 It's not like these MRIs where you've got to get these contrasts fluids and 474 00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:40.920 sit in these small tubes. You literally just sit in a chair and you 475 00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:45.039 wear a cap that looks like a swimmer's cap and it measures all the different 476 00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:49.599 brain well, it's not invasive, there's no risk, and it literally maps 477 00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:54.519 out your whole brain and tells you which areas are functioning very well and are 478 00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:58.480 not functioning well. Okay, So it's one of the best tests you can 479 00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:01.800 do. And then after we figure out which areas are functioning well in which 480 00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:07.559 areas are not functioning well, we could come up with solutions natural, holistic 481 00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:15.920 and integrative solutions without drugs or medications or supplements or injections or herbs or surgeries 482 00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:22.800 or any zapping or anything like that. We could come up with natural ways 483 00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:28.920 to strengthen your weak areas of brain. Just like you have a physical therapist 484 00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:37.599 can give you exercises to strengthen a torn muscle or heal a sprain or a 485 00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:44.119 strain or something like that. As a functional neurologists, after we do this 486 00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:50.920 q EG brain mapping, we could come up with therapeutic exercises that could strengthen 487 00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:54.880 those weak areas of your brain. It might be some eye exercise or a 488 00:45:54.920 --> 00:46:00.679 different joint movement, or a different light or a sound or balance, or 489 00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:05.079 a memory exercise or a breathing exercise, or could be a lot of different 490 00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:09.440 brain exercises. But we have to do the mapping first to figure out which 491 00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:15.239 areas are weak, because you're only a stronger as your weakest link. So 492 00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:20.800 the q EG brain mapping is the best test for that. That is normally 493 00:46:21.239 --> 00:46:24.920 five hundred dollars, but if you're one of the first seven people that call, 494 00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:30.519 text or email, you could get the q EEG brain mapping for only 495 00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:36.679 twenty one dollars. All you have to do is call or text six four 496 00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:42.920 six two two one six seven three eight, or you can email info at 497 00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:47.559 kaplan brain embody dot com. Now there's another special We're gonna I'm gonna go 498 00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:52.320 over. It's called a v A VNG is where where these infrared goggles. 499 00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:55.440 You follow this red light and it goes up and down and left and right 500 00:46:55.519 --> 00:47:00.719 and fast and slow and different angles, and we always met are the different 501 00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:06.880 lobes of the brain using this v technology, no radiation, noninvasive, super 502 00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:09.400 easy. It only takes about twenty minutes to do. But what it does 503 00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:14.480 it tells us the difference between the left side and the right side. Says, 504 00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:17.239 okay, which side's underactive, which side's overactive, which lobe of the 505 00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:22.599 brain is in So the qEEG brain mapping is great for the location, but 506 00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:28.400 the BN is great because it tells us the imbalance is from left to right 507 00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:32.639 the disconnect. So sometimes the left and right brain are disconnected. People might 508 00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:37.760 have some dizziness, headaches, balance problems. They might have some bipolar, 509 00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:40.960 some anxiety, some depression. They might have some schizophrenia, they might have 510 00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:45.639 some tick disorders. So when things are disconnected, you know, their clumsiness, 511 00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:50.559 they bump into things, they get lost easily, they confuse their lefts 512 00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:52.400 and rights. You know, there's a lot of different things that can happen. 513 00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:57.199 So the v AND is the best test to see if there's any disconnection 514 00:47:57.639 --> 00:48:01.239 between the left and the right brain. Test will tell us if it's underactive, 515 00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:05.039 it's overactive, so I might have to do certain things on one side 516 00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:07.000 of the body to calm it down, and then other things on the other 517 00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:12.840 side of the body to stimulate it. That's why the v AND test is 518 00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:16.679 best for that. That test is normally five hundred dollars, but for the 519 00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:22.119 first seven people that call, text or email you can get that test for 520 00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:28.840 only twenty one dollars as well.
