Hello, and welcome to 3 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:17.359 boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. I hope 4 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:23.359 everyone is enjoying your day so far. We are going to talk about digestion 5 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:30.440 today. How to improve your gastro intestinal system. A lot of people have 6 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:37.679 digestive problems. That might have constipation, diarrhea, You might have pain, 7 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:47.560 nausea, bloating, acid reflux GIRD. A lot of people are diagnosed with 8 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:55.039 acid reflux or GIRD. The problem is after they are diagnosed with acid reflux 9 00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:04.359 or GURD, doctors usually prescribe and acids. And and acids decrease the amount 10 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:11.040 of stomach acid in your GI tract. Now, if you have less stomach 11 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:18.519 acid, it's going to be tougher for you to break down food and your 12 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.719 digestive system will not work as well. So people who have gourd or acid 13 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:32.719 reflux and are prescribed and acid usually will have a difficulty in the future. 14 00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:38.040 It could be immune system problems, it could be digestive problems, it could 15 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:45.000 be absorption problems. So a lot of people are prescribed in acids or even 16 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.040 take over the counter stuff rolla aids, toms, stuff like that. But 17 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:57.239 that decreases your stomach acid. And when your stomach acid is decreased, then 18 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.280 you might not absorb your nutrient. You might not have get enough iron, 19 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:06.319 you might not get enough B twelve or folate, and it might be diagnosed 20 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:13.400 with anemia. But instead of taking an iron pill or a B twelve supplement, 21 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:19.840 it might be more appropriate to get to the underlying root cause of the 22 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:27.000 problem and increase your stomach acid. If you increase your stomach acid, then 23 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:32.919 you're more likely to absorb nutrients. If you increase your stomach acid, you're 24 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:42.439 also more likely to defeat the bacteria, viruses, yeast, fungus, mold, 25 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:49.199 parasites, worms, that you're exposed to. The stomach acid, this 26 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:57.520 hydrochloric acid is your immune system defense because as you imbibe or take in some 27 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.879 of these bacteria or viruses, this i'm like acid should be able to kill 28 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:07.120 it right away. However, if you're taking ant acids, now the bacteria 29 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:14.400 can thrive, now, the viruses can survive, the parasites can infect You're 30 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:20.159 more likely to get allergies and autoimmune disease. We want to make sure you 31 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:27.080 don't get yeast infections because what happens is the stomach acid kills off all the 32 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:35.560 bad stuff. So ant acids can actually make you worse. So I typically 33 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:42.840 suggest increasing your stomach acid. Maybe you need to actually supplement with hydrochloric acid, 34 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:49.280 because if you take supplements such as iron pills or B twelve or folate, 35 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.759 if you don't have enough stomach acid, you don't absorb the nutrients, 36 00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:00.520 so you're wasting your time and money. Me you're wasting your time and money 37 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.879 purchasing these vitamins because you don't absorb them and you might pee them out. 38 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:11.360 If you notice your p is a weird color after you take supplements, you're 39 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:16.959 probably not absorbing them properly. There's probably a bunch of impurities in those pills, 40 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:26.000 or contaminants or fillers, even food dye preservatives can all be found in 41 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:34.120 these supplements. So what we want to do is avoid making sure we don't 42 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:42.639 have to take ant acids that ruins your immune system as well as your absorption. 43 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.079 Now, if you do supplement with an ascids, it's got to be 44 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:51.600 appropriate. I mean with hydrochloric acid. It has to be appropriate. So 45 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:58.680 if you supplement with hydrochloric acid, it must also have bio in it. 46 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:05.399 The bio is the way the body neutralizes the acid so it doesn't burn your 47 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:11.720 intestinal lining. That's basically like an ulcer, you know, the acids eating 48 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:18.319 the intestinal lining. The bio takes away some of that acid so it neutralize 49 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:24.759 it so it doesn't have a big effect. Enzymes are also important, so 50 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:30.439 I like apex Energetics because they have hydrochloric acid that has the bio that has 51 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.439 the enzymes in it as well. That will boost your immune system and boost 52 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:41.959 your absorption. Okay, that is if you take and acids, So you 53 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.920 might have to replenish so you can start to absorb your nutrients so you're not 54 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:51.639 deficient. And the only way to know if you're deficient and a nutrient is 55 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:58.160 to take bloodwork. Right, So you're not going to take B twelve because 56 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.759 you're vegetarian, and you're not going to take iron because you don't eat meat, 57 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:09.279 or you're not gonna take B twelve for energy or whatever it is. 58 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:18.319 You're not going to take um, you know fully, because you don't think 59 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:27.079 you're absorbing your bees properly, or you're not gonna take um calcium because your 60 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:32.600 bones are brittle, or you have osteope porosis, or you know, you'd 61 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:43.399 only take pills or supplements or vitamins if you're actually deficient and it's necessary. 62 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.519 If you're vitamin D deficient, okay, then we might want to supplement with 63 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:54.680 vitamin DATE. However, if you take a dexter scan and you have osteoporosis, 64 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:59.199 that doesn't mean start taking calcium. That's what most doctors are going to 65 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.399 tell you. However, you got to look at your calcium levels. So 66 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:08.560 if you have osteoporosis but your calcium levels are on the higher end, if 67 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:14.199 you supplement, that could cause more problems. Calcium supplements are very dangerous. 68 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:19.639 You have two high calcium confect your para thyroid. If you have two hy 69 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:25.879 calcium, it can deposit in breast tissue lead to breast cancer. If you 70 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.199 have too much calcium, it could even depositing arteries like you more likely to 71 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:35.240 have heart attack or stroke. Can affect your thyroid, your hormones, your 72 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:43.160 immune system. Calcium is one of the most dangerous supplements that we take and 73 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.879 don't take it because you're old. Don't take it because you have osteoporosis, 74 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:54.120 don't take it because your doctor told you too. You take it only if 75 00:07:54.160 --> 00:08:01.199 you have an actual deficiency in calcium got it. Never take a supplement unless 76 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:07.519 you're deficient, and you have to check that through blood work. Most people 77 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.399 take too many supplements. They think, oh, it's a vitamin, it's 78 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:18.079 natural, what's the harm. That's completely incorrect. Just like medicine or drugs 79 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:28.639 can harm your brain or your body, vitamins and supplements can also affect your 80 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.279 brain and your body. So the key is to do a thorough blood work 81 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:41.000 to see if you have any deficiencies. Right, So, besides not having 82 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:46.480 enough stomach acid, which will affect your gut, your absorption and is a 83 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:56.559 major cause of most nutritional deficiencies, we also want to address bacteria in your 84 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:05.399 gut. It's called your gut microbiome. Now, the bacteria are billions and 85 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:11.480 trillions of different bacteria in your body. In fact, you have more bacteria 86 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:22.320 than cells. Your body is basically a walking bacteria. Now, what do 87 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.120 people do when you get an infection? You go to the doctor and they 88 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:35.960 prescribe antibiotics. Antibiotics are going to kill the bacteria. Now, the intention 89 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:43.159 is to kill the bad bacteria. However, it is very possible that you 90 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:50.600 might be killing good bacteria, and the good bacteria help with your immune system. 91 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:58.919 The good bacteria help with your absorption. So if you've ever taken antibia 92 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:13.440 botics, you have to prioritize taking probiotics. Probiotics are more important because they 93 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.039 are your best defense against the bad bacteria. So if you have an infection, 94 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:28.799 think probiotics. That's going to kill off the bad bacteria. Probiotics help 95 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:35.480 with digestion, Probiotics help with your immune system. Probiotics help with inflammation. 96 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:43.759 Probiotics help with your cells development. And the key with probiotics is to change 97 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:50.000 probiotics every two months because, like I said, there's all different strains and 98 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.120 different types of bacteria. You don't always want to take the same bacteria. 99 00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.480 It is good to make sure you switch it up every two months you get 100 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.559 a different type of bacteria because each bacteria has different types of jobs that they 101 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.799 need to do. So we're going to make sure we have a wide variety 102 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.600 to function best, field best and live a better wife. This way, 103 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:24.960 you have good gut microbiome. So the two most important things for healthy gut 104 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:33.080 function are hydrochloric acid and good bacteria. The worst things for your gut are 105 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:41.240 inflammatory foods. Dairy products are very inflammatory, Gluten is very inflammatory. Corn, 106 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:50.200 soy, coffee, alcohol, sugar are highly inflammatory foods for the gut, 107 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.200 and they create a leaky gut. And if you have a leaky gut, 108 00:11:54.320 --> 00:12:00.399 then viruses and bacteria and parasites and worms can exit out your digestive track, 109 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:05.519 enter into the bloodstream and start attacking your own body, including your brain, 110 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:13.200 your lungs, your heart, your skin, your kidneys, your liver. 111 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.080 So we got to do our best to make sure that the inflammation is 112 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:24.360 down so that your gut, your acid, and your bacteria kill off all 113 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:31.919 the bad stuff. More about proper digestion when we come back from the break. 114 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.000 If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, 115 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:41.200 sleep, digestion, energy depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, 116 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.039 headaches, brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your 117 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.519 human potential and prevent future diseases, that this is the show for you. 118 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.519 Don't miss boost your brain power with doctor Eric Kaplan and you will learn natural, 119 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.320 integrative, and holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, 120 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:05.840 parkinson stroke, autism, add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, 121 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.960 vertigo, migraines, for posture pain, TBI, skin and digestive problems. 122 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.039 Doctor Kaplan is most famous for getting to the root cause of a wide variety 123 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.879 of brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky 124 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.720 surgeries.

Hello, and welcome back to boost your brain power. 127 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:41.120 I am your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about digestion, absorbtionation, 128 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:48.679 your immune system. So these days, many many people are complaining of 129 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:58.039 digestive problems. You have ulcerative colitis, you've got Chrone's disease, got IBS 130 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:05.360 it will a bow syndrome, you got siliac disease, you got acid reflux, 131 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:16.200 you got CEBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, you got gastritis. So there 132 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:26.120 are lots of different gut problems, but they're all related to inflammation, and 133 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:35.320 they're all related to dysfunction of the gastro intestinal track. The gastro intestinal track 134 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:46.120 gets its innervation from a nerve called your vegas nerve. The vagus nerve is 135 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:54.080 responsible for rest and digest so all those digestive problems that occur might be an 136 00:14:54.120 --> 00:15:01.440 issue in the vegas nerve. If you have trouble sleep, being and digestive 137 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:07.960 problems, it's very likely that you have an issue in your vagus nerve or 138 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:16.080 what's called your autonomic nervous system. There's a condition called disautonomia. We treat 139 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:22.600 a lot of patients with this autonomia because they have this problem with your vagus 140 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:30.399 nerve. If your vagus nerve isn't working properly, you might have digestive problems 141 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:35.399 and sleeping problems. However, it's not limited to that. You might have 142 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.960 high blood pressure. A lot of people suffer from high blood pressure as a 143 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:48.000 result of their autonomic nervous system not working properly. There might be an issue 144 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:56.879 in your pancreas. Diabetes comes from an issue in this vagus nerve. I'm 145 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:06.519 working with a pharmaceutical company from Japan who believes they discovered the cure for diabetes, 146 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:15.080 which is this vagel nerve stimulator. So people with diabetes usually have an 147 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.519 issue in their vegas nerve. So as the vegas nerve starts to function better, 148 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:26.679 the pancreas starts to function better, then there's less chance of diabetes. 149 00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:37.679 However, this Japanese pharmaceutical company, they're not really aware of how to test 150 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:42.399 for the vegas nerve. They just know they have this vagus nerve stimulator that's 151 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:49.120 reversing diabetes. And I'm consulting with them to teach them what to check for 152 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:55.679 their pre check there before the therapy and then their post check after the therapy, 153 00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:00.759 so they can actually analyze the vagus nerve to see if the vegas nerved 154 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:06.960 improved in function. And if the vegas new improved in function and the diabetes 155 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.319 went down, then we know that their stimulator is actually directly working on the 156 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:18.720 vegas nerve. But to make a long story short, the bottom line is 157 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.079 that by working on your vegas nerve, you can actually bring down diabetes numbers. 158 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.559 There's two diabetes numbers to look in the blood work. You got your 159 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:33.640 fast and glucose that should be under one hundred idealistically somewhere in the range between 160 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.680 eighty five and ninety five, and the other test is called hemoglobin A ONEC 161 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:44.519 and that should be lower than a five point seven percent. Anything above five 162 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:51.200 point seven is pre diabetic and anything above six is probably close to diabetes already. 163 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:56.000 So those are two tests that will tell us if we are diabetic, 164 00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:02.839 and if you're diabetic, that makes you more own to dementia and Alzheimer's. 165 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:08.240 In fact, they might even change the name of Alzheimer's disease to diabetes type 166 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:14.519 three because it's the combination of diabetes type one, which is autoimmune disease, 167 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.759 as well as diabetes type two, which is sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, 168 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:26.680 and lots of carbs, sugar, poor nutrition, highly inflammatory foods. 169 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:30.119 So if you want to prevent to mention Alzheimer's, you got to make sure 170 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:37.119 your diabetes numbers are in order, and we could check that through the blood 171 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.039 work. The blood work is so valuable. It's noninvasive, right, there's 172 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:47.000 no radiation. You don't have to slide down in some small tube like the 173 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:52.920 MRI tells us a lot of great stuff how the liver's functioning. Your livers 174 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:59.240 basically your detoxing organ, and you have a called your ast and your alt. 175 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.720 If those numbers are above twenty six. I'm worried about the liver. 176 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.000 You know, do you have inflammation hepatitis? Do you have batty liver? 177 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:14.079 Got liver disease. So there's lots of liver problems, most commonly caused by 178 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:21.200 alcohol abuse, drug abuse. You're putting a lot of toxic substances in your 179 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.880 body. Then your liver is going to be damaged. Then your digestion is 180 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:30.480 going to be affected. They buio all that stuff, so your liver can 181 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:37.119 handle a lot, but we don't want to overload it or also gets inflamed, 182 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:41.599 all right, So the liver can also be affected by the vegas nerve. 183 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.640 So if your vegas nerve isn't working and you have some of these toxic 184 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.960 stuff like alcohol or drugs, you're more likely to get your liver effective. 185 00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:56.319 So the vegas nerve can cause high blood pressure, liver problems, diabetes, 186 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:03.680 digestive problems. It can affect your lungs. You might have copd or asthma, 187 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:15.000 or bronchitis, pneumonia, respiratory infections. That's what COVID nineteen is. 188 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:22.920 I personally had bronchitis growing up. I used to wake up every morning lots 189 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:30.640 of phlagm always coughing. I had to be put on steroids and antibiotics by 190 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:34.720 my pediatrician when I was eleven years old. Twelve years old, I had 191 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:38.799 to take these horrible medicine which made me nauseous, made me sick. I 192 00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:45.640 used to throw up ten times a day from my bronchitis medication. So I 193 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:52.240 was miserable. I was low energy, brain fog, fatigue, and most 194 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.039 of the problem was not from my bronchitis. It was from the bronchitis medication. 195 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:02.759 So I said to myself, I cannot just keep treating my condition with 196 00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:10.079 medication. There must be another solution out there. Luckily, at the time 197 00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:15.480 I was looking for a solution, my father was going on a health kick, 198 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.400 and he said to me, Hey, why don't you come to one 199 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:21.160 of these seminars with me. You might learn a few things that can help 200 00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:25.000 you. And I was desperate. Even though it was the weekend and I'm 201 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.799 like, I don't want to go to more school. What I did do 202 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.480 was make sure that I would learn something valuable that can help my health, 203 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.839 because you know what, I was miserable. I was desperate, so I 204 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:42.799 was ready to learn on the weekend so I went to the seminar, and 205 00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:49.039 at the seminar, one of the first things I learned was that dairy products 206 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:59.119 are a big congestion of the lungs. So immediately I quit dairy and within 207 00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:06.319 one month my bronchitis was gone. I was cured. I did not need 208 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:11.119 to antibiotics anymore. I did not need the steroids anymore. No more nauge 209 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.960 and no more throwing up. The side effects of the medicine would end simply 210 00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:22.799 because I quit all dairy products. No more yogurt, no more cream cheese, 211 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.640 no more butter, no more milk, no more ice cream, no 212 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:32.920 more pizza, no more macaroni and cheese, no more creamy sauces, no 213 00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:40.200 more cheese. It was all gone. Because it cured my bronchitis. Then 214 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:48.400 I was able to get off the medicine. I felt better and I functioned 215 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:53.960 better just by quitting dairy products. That's the worst thing for the lungs. 216 00:22:55.880 --> 00:23:02.400 So if you have bronchitis, you have COPD, you have asthma, you 217 00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:07.160 have to get rid of dairy immediately. That's one of the quickest easy ways 218 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:14.359 to improve your lung function. You also might have to address the vegas nerve. 219 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.880 Remember we said the vegas nerve helps with your lungs, helps with your 220 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.759 heart, helps with your liver, your gut. So what you have to 221 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:27.880 do is vegas nerve exercises. One vegas nerve exercise is to gargle. Goggle 222 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:33.960 really intensely. The louder the gargle, the more activation of the vegas nerve, 223 00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:37.200 the gag reflex. As long as you don't have a history of bolimium, 224 00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:45.240 the gag reflex will also stimulate the vegas nerve. Simply doing a big 225 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:51.799 swallow or making humming noises or making noises with your tongue, anything in the 226 00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:56.240 mouth, throat, neck area, any type of stimulation is going to activate 227 00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:00.200 that vegas nerve. So those are a few things that you can do at 228 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.359 home. Each exercise you should do for about thirty seconds, and you want 229 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:08.160 to repeat it three times a day. That's to activate your vagus nerve, 230 00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:12.200 to get you out of the stress node that fight or flight more into a 231 00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:18.160 relaxed rest and digest state. That will improve your stomach acid, improve your 232 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:25.359 bacteria. That will improve what's called your peristalsis contractions. To reduce any gut 233 00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:30.720 problems that we spoke about earlier in the shell. We want to get rid 234 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:40.720 of leaky gut, cebo siliac disease, ulcerative colitis, chrone's disease. We 235 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:48.799 can do all that by changing our diet, improving our nutrition, reducing inflammation, 236 00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:55.799 improving your vagus nerve function. That will improve your digestion, making sure 237 00:24:55.799 --> 00:25:00.160 you have good stomach acid and good bacteria. So we want to get out 238 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:06.359 of that fight or flight more into a relaxed rest and digest state to function 239 00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:12.279 best, feel best, and live a better life.

I'm your host, 252 00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:25.119 doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about your digestion, gut health, inflammation nutrition. 253 00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:30.440 There's a lot of good things you can do to improve digestion in addition 254 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:38.559 to eating healthy, reducing your inflammation, taking care of your autonomic nervous system, 255 00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:42.960 and also one of the best things to do is water intake. One 256 00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:48.519 of the best things for digestion is water, but not water while you eat. 257 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.359 It's water before you eat. You always want to drink water on an 258 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:59.559 empty stomach. That kind of lubricase the intestinal tracks, makes the food go 259 00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:04.640 down an easier, gets the blood flowing, oxygen going hydrate your system, 260 00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:11.440 and gives you better feedback to your brain so you don't overeat. Many people 261 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.319 overeat because they eat too quickly, but one of the best ways to prevent 262 00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:22.400 overeating is to drink water a half hour before your meals. Always drink water 263 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:27.039 in an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Nice warm lemon water with 264 00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:33.160 a pinch of pink Himalayan salt than a half hour before each meal and then 265 00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.559 also before bed as well, so you don't get dehydrated all night. Helps 266 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.480 with the digestion. Then when you wake up in the morning, you should 267 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:45.839 have a good bowel movement. All right, So water super important. You're 268 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:52.200 supposed to drink half your body weight in ounces of water every day. So 269 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.440 if you weigh one hundred and fifty pounds, you should drink seventy five ounces 270 00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.160 of water every day. I like to squeeze some lemon in there, a 271 00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.880 pinch of pink and me laying salt to get some minerals. So you don't 272 00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:10.799 want to have acidic water, You want more alkaline water. Very very important. 273 00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:15.039 Half hour before each meal, half your body weight and ounces. This 274 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:21.400 helps with digestion. It also helps with brain function. Think of your brain 275 00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:26.920 like a grape. If it gets dehydrated, it shrivels up to a raisin. 276 00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:30.640 We do not want your brain to shrivel up like a raisin. Or 277 00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:36.920 think about your skin. If your skin's dehydrated, you're gonna wrinkle up. 278 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.279 So you're gonna make sure you get the proper amount of water, not only 279 00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:45.119 for your brain to function and to get better digestion, but for aesthetics for 280 00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:51.000 your skin to look pretty good too. Also, if you ever are giving 281 00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:56.440 blood or you're doing a blood test, drink tons of water that morning. 282 00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.880 That makes the blood come out a lot easier, makes it flow. If 283 00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:04.839 you have your period, you got to add more water. If you are 284 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:10.240 working out, you got to add more water. If you drink coffee, 285 00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:15.599 coffee is a diuretic that dehydrates you, you're going to need more water. 286 00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:25.039 If you drink alcohol that also dehydrates you, you're gonna need more water. 287 00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:30.440 If you have a lot of salt in your diet, that also will dehydrate 288 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:37.079 you. If you have your radiator heat on and you have this dry heat, 289 00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:41.200 that is going to dehydrate you. So there are lots of things that 290 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.319 you're doing on a daily basis that could dehydrate you. But the good news 291 00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:51.559 is the solutions pretty easy. Start drinking more water, just make sure you 292 00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:53.519 do it on an empty stomach, and you don't have to do it right 293 00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.039 away. So let's say if you're trying to work up to one hundred and 294 00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:00.319 seventy ounces and you're only drinking twenty ounces the day you know, this week 295 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.839 you go up to thirty ounces, and then the following week you go up 296 00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:07.039 to forty and then fifty, and then you know, it might take a 297 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:12.079 couple of months or so, but eventually you get up to that and don't 298 00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:18.079 worry about peeing more because when you drink more water, yes, in the 299 00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:21.359 beginning, you're going to pee more and you're going to get rid of the 300 00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:26.759 toxins. That's the key. When you have good urination, good digestion, 301 00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:33.640 then you're going to detox properly, and water is one of the best ways 302 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:41.359 to improve your urination and improve your digestion. So half your body weight in 303 00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:51.000 ounces that is going to help with digestion as well as prevent overeating. Another 304 00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:57.200 way to prevent overeating is the food scale. So on the food scale, 305 00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:03.759 ten out of ten means if you eat another bite, you're gonna throw up 306 00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:10.440 or you're gonna explode. There's literally not even another way to have one more 307 00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:12.519 bite. That's a ten out of ten. That's as full as you can 308 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:17.640 get. Some people say that's like Thanksgiving, where you just over eat so 309 00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:19.720 much you can't fit another thing in your belly. That's a ten out of 310 00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:26.480 ten. A one out of ten is where you have to eat something right 311 00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:30.480 away or you're basically you're gonna starve to death. So one is you're starving, 312 00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:36.960 and ten is your belly is gonna explode. It so full, the 313 00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:44.519 ideal number to be at is five. So if you're five, that means 314 00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:52.200 you're not hungry and you're not full, you're just perfectly satisfied. So the 315 00:31:52.359 --> 00:32:00.960 best time to stop eating is out of five. If you wait till you're 316 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:07.200 full to stop eating, you've already eaten too much. So you don't want 317 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:14.160 to wait until you're full. You want to stop eating when you're no longer 318 00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:21.000 hungry. That's a big difference. So what you have to do is chew 319 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:23.920 your food a lot. I mean, I'm talking about over thirty chews. 320 00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:30.559 So you chew your food as much as possible. That slows the process down 321 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:35.960 so your gut can relate to your brain to let you know your full. 322 00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:43.039 So you chew your food a lot. Okay, then you swallow. Now 323 00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:49.359 after about let's say ten minutes, you know, maybe half your plate is 324 00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:54.599 gone. Then you think to yourself, do the scale am I attend where 325 00:32:54.640 --> 00:33:00.920 I'm so stuffed I can't eat another bite? Am my own one where I'm 326 00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:04.279 starving to death. If I don't eat something right now, I'm gonna die 327 00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:10.079 or pass out. Or am I a five where you know what, I'm 328 00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:17.440 actually not hungry anymore. Not only am I not hungry, I'm not stuffed. 329 00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.079 That's the key. That's the five that's perfect. So if you're a 330 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:27.440 six, that means you overate a little bit and you'll feel it a little 331 00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:32.079 bit in your stomach. If you're a four, that means you ate something, 332 00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:35.720 but you know what, you still have a little bit more hungry, 333 00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:38.839 so maybe you should eat a little bit more. The best time to eat, 334 00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:43.960 you know, it's probably like a two, three, or four. 335 00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.400 You don't want to wait till you're a one then you'll overeat, or even 336 00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:51.799 a two you might overeat. But if you wait till you're a three or 337 00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:54.279 four and then you just eat a little bit and get up to that five, 338 00:33:55.160 --> 00:34:00.960 then you're perfectly satisfied. So that is a scale. I learned that 339 00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:07.160 from my father and his health program that he did, and it works very 340 00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:12.480 well, so I like to incorporate that with my patients as well. His 341 00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:17.320 program is called Choose your Body, and you want to really think about how 342 00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:22.239 you feel while you're eating, and once you're completely satisfied, you got to 343 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:28.519 stop eating. Don't wait till you're fall wait till you're not hungry anymore. 344 00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:34.760 That's a good way to prevent over eating, all right. Now. Another 345 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:42.039 important part of digestion is to give your gut a break. If you want 346 00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:45.079 to digest your food, you need to relax so you're not constantly eating. 347 00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:50.079 But if you know, you wake up six seven in the morning, you 348 00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:52.519 start eating right away, and then you eat all the way until you know 349 00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:58.000 nine ten o'clock at night, you're still snacking. The body hasn't had time 350 00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:05.280 to digest. So idealistically, you want to eat for eight hours and you 351 00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:10.320 want to fast for sixteen hours. That's called intermittent fasting. The best way 352 00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:15.280 to do that is to eat during the daylight hours, which are ten am 353 00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:21.159 to six pm. Ten am to six pm is when we want to eat. 354 00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:29.239 We want to sleep from ten pm to six am. So if you 355 00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:34.280 kind of do the math there, you're gonna have four hours between your last 356 00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:37.760 meal and bedtime. So you're done by six pm and you go to bed 357 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:43.119 at ten, so that means there's four hours from the last food you eat 358 00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:45.480 till bedtime. Then when you wake up. Let's say you wake up at 359 00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:49.440 six am, you're gonna wait till ten am to eat, So then there's 360 00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:53.079 a four hour break when you wake up in the morning. So the last 361 00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:57.800 four hours of the night you're not eating, and you're gonna sleep for eight 362 00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:00.880 hours and you're gonna wake up and will not eat for at least four hours 363 00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:07.239 in the morning. That way, you're fasting for sixteen hours straight and you're 364 00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:15.760 only eat during those eight hours. And it's also best to eat like a 365 00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:21.559 king for breakfast, a prince for lunch, and a pauper for dinner. 366 00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:24.840 What that means is, you know you're breakfast and launch are you're really big 367 00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:29.360 meals, and your dinner it's going to be a small meal. Because the 368 00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:34.920 reason we eat is for energy, So there's no reason to have a lot 369 00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:38.039 of food at night when we're trying to sleep. So if you eat food 370 00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:45.199 at night that's going to interrupt your deep sleep, then you're not gonna have 371 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:51.000 enough energy. You're not going to kind of get be relaxed. You're more 372 00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:55.480 likely to get stressed or anxious. Brain five troubles with memory, So a 373 00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:59.800 lot of people with these brain issues, it's because they're not getting enough sleep. 374 00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:04.960 Sleep is key, and the way to get sleep is intermittent fasting. 375 00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:09.440 Another good clue to get good sleep is to use your circadian rhythms by walking 376 00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:15.159 outside during sunrise and sunset. So if the brain sees the sun go down, 377 00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:17.639 Okay, now I know it's time to relax and go to bed. 378 00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:21.760 And then when the sun comes up, okay, it's time to give me 379 00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:23.320 energy. I gotta work, I gotta do my stuff, I gotta think, 380 00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:28.079 I gotta go to school. So what we want to do is use 381 00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:32.199 the sunlight to teach our brain when it's appropriate to be up and when it's 382 00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:37.800 appropriate to be relaxed. However, if it is ten o'clock at night, 383 00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:42.639 you're eating popcorn, you're watching the news, all the lights are on, 384 00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:45.519 you're scrolling through your cell phone, you're going on, the computers on, 385 00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:51.079 the TV's on, the iPads on, the lights are on. The brain's 386 00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:53.639 like, hey must be daytime. All these lights are on. I'm eating. 387 00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:57.679 I'm going to increase my energy, so I'm not going to get that 388 00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.760 deep sleep, all right, So we do not want that. So not 389 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:04.960 only do not want to eat at night, you want to turn off the 390 00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:09.000 electronics. You want to unplug the blue light stimulates cortisol, which is the 391 00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:15.159 stress hormone, which not only interrupts your sleep, but also deposits of belly 392 00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:19.760 fat as well. So we want to decrease cortosol at night by not having 393 00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:25.920 food and decreasing light exposure more when we come back from the break. If 394 00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:30.559 you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, 395 00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:35.760 digestion, energy depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches, 396 00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:38.960 brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your human potential 397 00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:44.519 and prevent future diseases, that this is the show for you.

Doctor Kaplan 402 00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.519 is most famous for getting to the root cause of a wide variety of brain 403 00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:14.480 and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. 404 00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:16.920 To contact to doctor Kaplin. You can call his team at two O one 405 00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:22.800 two six one two one five zero or visit his website at kaplan dc dot 406 00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:29.119 com. Welcome back to boost your brain power. I am your host, 407 00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:35.719 doctor Eric Kaplan. Okay, we're talking about digestion. We're talking about ways 408 00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:42.119 to improve your gut function. That is super important. You are what you 409 00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:47.320 eat. If you eat a cow or a pig that is anxious, then 410 00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:52.679 you're more likely to become anxious. If you eat a fish or a chicken 411 00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:57.800 that's depressed because they get put in some cage and they're separated from their family 412 00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:02.639 and they're fed upoort diet and raised under harsh conditions, then you will get 413 00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:07.199 depressed. You are what you eat, So it's not only what you eat, 414 00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:13.840 but how the animals is doing when it is killed, If it is 415 00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:20.960 full of steroids, antibiotics, if it's fed genetically modified corn, if it's 416 00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:28.159 taken away from its family, if it's cage in some small compartment where it 417 00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:31.480 can't move or exercise, if it doesn't get sunlight or drink healthy water. 418 00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:37.079 You know, all this stuff is going to affect how your brain and body 419 00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:43.760 function. So it's not only you know what you eat, but how is 420 00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:49.719 that food being raised? Right, you can eat lots of fruits and vegetables, 421 00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:58.599 but if they're sprayed with all these chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, gliphosate 422 00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:05.519 round up, they're injected with food dyes to make them look colorful. They'd 423 00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:12.840 use genetically modified seeds so they look brighter and they grow bigger and their resistance 424 00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:21.239 to bugs. Our bodies don't recognize that. So it's not just what you're 425 00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:25.239 eating, but where is that food coming from a lot of people ask me 426 00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:30.079 about CBD oil and they say, hey, is that healthy for your brain? 427 00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:34.159 When I say, hey, it's from a plant, But what about 428 00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:37.599 that plant? Are they spraying it with a bunch of chemicals or herbicides or 429 00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:43.880 pesticides and stuff like that. If they're spraying it with all this crap, 430 00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:51.239 if they're using genetically modified seeds, right, they're using all these preservatives so 431 00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:57.239 it doesn't go bad. They're adding these contaminants and fillers and impurities, then 432 00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:00.760 it might not be that healthy, you know. But if it's organic and 433 00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:05.039 it's grown well and all, you know, it's fed the proper food and 434 00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:07.679 the sunlight and the water and all that stuff. And raising a good environment. 435 00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:15.199 Yeah, then it might be okay, But what's your source? Right, 436 00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:19.760 So you want to buy organic foods. You know, if you look 437 00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:23.000 at the labels of your fruits and vegetables, there's a number on it, 438 00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:28.559 usually a four or five digit number. If it begins with nine, then 439 00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:34.880 it's organic. If it begins with four, then it's conventional. If it 440 00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:39.960 begins with eight, then it's genetically modified. So you gotta look at the 441 00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:45.400 tag and that will tell you is it organic, is it conventional, is 442 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:52.519 it genetically modified. It's gonna look at your labels. Got to read the 443 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:57.880 food. You gotta see what's putting in your body. Right, So even 444 00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:05.079 supplements too. We said supplements can be dangerous. Only use what's necessary. 445 00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:08.840 But a lot of supplements got contaminants and fillers and impurities that could cause more 446 00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:17.119 inflammation. Right. So to get proper gut function, we have to eat 447 00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:23.079 the right foods. We have to sleep, We got to get in that 448 00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:29.480 rest and digest mode. We got to get the proper hydrochloric acid. We 449 00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:35.000 got to have good gut microbiome. We have to reverse the leaky gut. 450 00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:39.519 So there's lots of stuff that needs to be done, but we can figure 451 00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:44.800 out what needs to be done by doing proper evaluations. One of the best 452 00:43:44.880 --> 00:43:47.360 evaluation you could do to figure out what's going on here, it's called a 453 00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:52.960 q EG brain mapping. That will literally tell us, hey, do you 454 00:43:52.039 --> 00:44:00.840 have intestinal inflammation? Do you have troubles in your brain? Do you have 455 00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:08.280 insomnia or sleep deprivation. It will tell us do you have problems with your 456 00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:16.920 cortisol levels? This all comes out in the qEEG brain mapping. It even 457 00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:21.360 picks up, hey, where you have heavy metal poisoning or did you get 458 00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:27.039 a concussion? Do you have low mitochondrial function, Do you have low ACEEO 459 00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:31.039 coline? Do you have anxiety depression, memory problems, troubles with focus, 460 00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:38.079 trouble with hormones, trouble with shifting tasks, motivation, brain fog. This 461 00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:44.400 all comes up in the q EEG brain mapping. There's no radiation, you 462 00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:50.079 don't have to go into some small MRI little tube there, there's no risk. 463 00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:52.599 All you do is wear a cap that kind of looks like a swimmer's 464 00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:57.280 cap and there's electrodes that are attached to it. You just close your eyes 465 00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:00.119 for a few minutes and it literally measures all your brain waves. It measures 466 00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:05.320 your alpha wave, your beta, your theta, you're delta, all the 467 00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:09.239 different brain waves, and it locates where the problems are in your brain. 468 00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:14.360 Once we find the location of where the problems are, and then we can 469 00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:19.440 come up with a solution. Now, my solutions are not surgeries, they're 470 00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:23.159 not drugs, they're not medications, they're not ivs, they're not injections, 471 00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:31.280 they're non invasive. They're completely holistic, completely natural, integrative. We pride 472 00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:37.440 ourselves and getting to the root cause of your health problem, not by treating 473 00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:44.400 symptoms. The q EG brain mapping helps us to get to the root cause 474 00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:49.760 of any brain or body issue that might be affecting you, even if there's 475 00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:53.599 a thyroid issue that's going to come up in this brain mapping. The brain 476 00:45:53.719 --> 00:46:00.239 mapping is normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people that all 477 00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:05.199 six four six two two one six seven three eight, you can get the 478 00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:12.000 entire five hundred dollars qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. That's for 479 00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:17.920 the first seven people that call or text six four six two two one six 480 00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:24.440 seven three eight, or you can email info at Kaplan Brain Embody dot com. 481 00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:31.400 That's for the q EG brain mapping. Another good test is called the 482 00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:38.000 v video nostography. This again has no radiation. It's a non invasive test. 483 00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:45.000 You wear these infrared goggles that measures different eye movements and measures the different 484 00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:47.559 areas of your brain. You can tell us their problem with your right brain 485 00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:52.559 and your left brain. Is this part overactive affecting your sleep, is this 486 00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:57.280 part underactive, affecting your memory and digestion. Is that the right side is 487 00:46:57.320 --> 00:47:00.800 that the left side is at the frontal of the cerebella on the brain stem. 488 00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:07.360 So it breaks everything down and tells us which areas are firing too much 489 00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:12.000 and which areas are underactive. Then we can balance out the brain and come 490 00:47:12.079 --> 00:47:19.119 up with an appropriate therapy. This v test is normally five hundred dollars, 491 00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:23.400 but for the first seven people that call they can get this test as well 492 00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:29.920 for only twenty one dollars.
