The following is a paid podcast. iHeartRadio's hosting of this podcast constitutes neither an
endorsement of the products offered or the ideas expressed. Hello, and welcome to
boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. Everyone is
always trying to look for that easy, quick fix. However, that doesn't
exist. There's no magic drug that you're going to take that's going to cure
your memory problems or your focus problems. Right, there was a pill that
people could take and they wouldn't get dementia or Alzheimer's. Everyone would just take
it and no one would have Alzheimer's. It just doesn't exist. Right,
There's a there's vitamins and supplements out there. One of the most popular ones
prevaging. All my patients are always asking me about that, Oh, should
I take that to improve my memory? Well, when you're taking pills to
improve your brain function, you have to figure out what areas are dysfunctional first,
So you might have to do some blood work. And if you do
blood work and you see that you have a lot of inflammation. Okay,
now it's time to take some natural anti inflammatories such as risveratrol or turmeric.
You know, mega threes, you know, rosemary something like that. Those
are natural anti inflammatories, all right, but we're gonna have to look at
the blood work first to see there's lots of markers such as homocysteen or CRP
or ESR that could indicate that there's a lot of inflammation in your body.
Now, if there's inflammation, okay, then maybe it's appropriate to take these
natural anti inflammatories. If you're vitamin D deficient, then it is normal to
take by supplementation. Everybody that I've tested in New Jersey, New York is
vitamin D deficient. Everybody, And I don't care. You know, if
you're outside a lot, it's still January and there's still cold in the air.
So when you go outside, you're wearing a coat, you're wearing pants,
everything's covered. There's not a lot of skin exposure. Plus, due
to the angle that the sun is hitting the earth, it's at its weakest
point right now, so you're getting the least amount of sun, you have
the most skin coverage, and you're gonna be outside the least because it's cold.
That is a recipe for vitamin D deficiency, and a lot of people
get what's called sad seasonal affect disorder where in the winter they get depressed.
That's because of vitamin D deficiency. So one of the best ways to get
out of a seasonal affect disorder depression is to take vitamin D and not just
some random vitamin D from CVS or Dwyane Reed or the Vitamin Shop or GNC
or Whole foods. Ninety nine percent of the vitamin d's out there are horrible.
They do not get absorbed. They don't have cofactors, they're not in
fat, they don't have the A and the E and the K and the
magnesium and the phosphorus to help with the absorption. People don't take it with
food, so it doesn't get absorbed right. So percent of the time people
are taking vitamin D, it's not really effective. In my opinion. It
should be done during the daytime when the light is out, so you get
your vitamin D from the sun. So take vitamin D when the sun is
out. Don't take it at nighttime when you should be getting ready for bed.
They get in the morning when the sun's coming up or in the afternoon
when the sun's strongest, and it has to be with food. And my
favorite vitamin D product is from apex Energetics, and don't get that online because
there's a lot of scammers out there who just use the label. So you
have to get it from a doctor that's associated with apex Energetics. And we
have these here at Kaplan Brain and Body. We have two offices, one
in Manhattan in the West Village and one in Bergen County, New Jersey.
So if you're interested in vitamin D supplementation, we also have a big discount
for all our radio callers for the month of January, So please give us
an email at info at Kaplanmrainobody dot com or you could call or text us
six four six two two one sixty seven three eight to take advantage of the
fifteen percent discount for Vitamin D supplementation for the month of January. That is
good for the first seven people that call, text or email. And this
is from apex Energetics. That's the best quality vitamin do you always want to
get from the quality companies for probiotics? I like Claire Laboratories. They're the
best. Now, a lot of people take probiotics over and over and over
all. I keep taking the same probiotics. That's not good. All the
bacteria have different tests, different jobs, different ways of fighting different you know,
some fight viruses, some fight bacteria, some fight some fight allergies,
some help with absorption, some help get rid of bed brain cells, heart
cells, skin cells. You know, you have all these bacteria that have
their individual tasks. You keep using the same bacteria over and over and over
again, then your brain says, I don't need to keep producing this,
and you're missing out on all the other strains. So it's not about how
many billions of bacteria you take, but it's about the different variety that you
take. So probiotics if you're supplementing with those because you've taken antibiotics in your
past, or you take a lot of antibacterial lotions and sprays and soaps and
all this antibacterial and bleaches and all these cleaning products. That actually makes your
bacteria worse because it's killing off all the good bacteria. Don't do mouthwash that
kills off all the good bacteria. The alcohol kills off all the bad stuff.
If you want to kill off only the bad bacteria but preserve the good
bacteria, what you do it's called oil pulling. So in the morning that's
when the bacteria are the worst. So in the morning, before you even
swallow, don't let it get into your before you even talk. You go
straight to the bathroom, get your coconut oil, put it in your mouth,
swish it all around your gums, your teeth, and then spit it
out. You have to do thirty seconds, and if you have time,
you can do up to two minutes, but minimum thirty seconds of oil pulling
with coconut oil every morning. Don't spit it into the sink because it can
mess up your pipes, but just spit it out in the garbage. Don't
swallow it either, because we don't want to swallow all the bacteria that you're
killing. And if you really want to go for it, not only do
you do the coconut oil pulling in the morning, but put just a drop
of tea tree oil, which is also a natural antibiotic. That's the best
way to start in the morning. Now with mouthwash that kills off all the
good bacteria. Do oil pulling coconut oil for thirty seconds every morning, and
if you want, ad a drop of tea tree oil to help fight those
bad bacteria and spit it out in the garbage. After you're done the first
thing in the morning before you do anything else. Then you could get into
your morning routine, whether it's you know, having your bowet movement and then
going exercising, meal, prepping for your day, writing in your gratitude journal.
There's so many good habits you want to get into the morning. You
have to drink water on an empty stomach, so you want to do that
first thing in the morning. The best time to drink water is on an
empty stomach. You don't want to drink water with your meal. You want
to drink it before your meal, a half hour before each meal, plus
right in the morning when you wake up, and in the evening on an
empty stomach. So a typical meal might take about three to four hours to
digest. So let's say if you are done with eating at six pm,
bedtimes at ten pm, so you could drink a big glass of water sometime
between nine and ten. And don't think that drinking water at night is going
to make you get up to p. It's actually more common to get up
to P if you eat late at nights. That's why you want four hours
from your last meal to bedtime. So idealistically, it's called intermittent fasting.
You want to eat from ten am to six pm, and you want to
sleep from six From ten pm to six am, that is the best way
to eat and sleep. That gets you in your circadian rhythms, that sleep
cycle. Another way to help that is to walk outside during sunrise and walk
outside during sunset. Therefore, the brain says, Okay, it's time to
chill, it's time to relax, it's time to calm down, all right.
So getting back to seasonal affect disorder, you're gonna get that in the
winter, especially right now, so you have to supplement with a vitamin D.
Now. Another on way to help a ceialent affect its order is exercise.
So a lot of people stop exercising the winter. You gotta exercise more
in the winter, all right, You gotta. You gotta really not leave
out on drinking the water, exercising, getting your vitamin D. Writing in
your gratitude journal, be thankful. There's so many things to be thankful in
your life right now. But everyone likes to complain. Oh, let me
complain about the Democrats or the Republicans, or let me complain about the inflation
or gas prices. Let me complain about the war in Israel or Ukraine.
Let me complain about the government, or the natural disasters, or the crime
in New York City, or the pollution or the you know, electrical cars
and the global warming and the five G and it's so easy to complain and
find out these bad things. But that's not healthy. You want to be
the person that brings joy to the room and say, oh, it's such
a great time to be alive. You know, there's it's not like you
know, one hundred years ago, where you know, there were the gangs
of New York running the streets, the mafia was running the town. It's
not like you was the one hundred years ago. We're in the you know,
great Depression and there's no food on the table and you know there it's
not like we're in a World War two where people are getting drafted and going
to Vietnam and you know, if you think about it, this is the
greatest time to be alive. I mean, we had uh, what was
it, nine to eleven was over twenty years ago, you know, Pearl
Harbor was you know, ninety eighty years ago. I mean, we're protected
by the Atlantic Ocean, We're protected by the Pacific Ocean. We have kind
neighbors in Canada. And yes, you know there's a lot of possible people
coming from the southern border that could be have some bad inten chains and there's
you know, fentanyl getting through that border, and there's you know, drug
dealers, and there's childhood trafficking. So yes, there is bad stuff that's
going on. But in the big scheme of things, you know, most
people they lock their door at night. Most people they got a roof up
overhead. Most people have clothes on their back. They know where their next
meal is coming from. So there's not anyone trying to murder them or rape
them or kill them. So every day you should wake up just thanking God.
I could see, I could hear, I could eat, I could
pee, I could poop, I could walk, I could talk. I
have people that love me. I have friends, I have family, I
have a car, I have a house. Be thankful for all these things
that we take for granted. Because I have patients that are blind, they
can't see. I have patients that are deaf, they can't hear. I
have patients and wheelchairs they can't walk. We have patients with Alzheimer's, they
can't remember their kids' names. We have patients with Parkinson's who have really bad
tremors and balance problems, people with traumatic brain injury who have memory problems and
headaches and dizziness and brain fog, and people with lime disease and COVID nineteen
long haulers that are just miserable. They have burning mouth syndrome, they have
chemical sensitivities, they have digestive problems. So there's so many horrible things that
people are experiencing now. But if you look at all the good things in
your health and you say, hey, you know what, I'm doing pretty
good. Most Americans are obese, they have heart disease, they have can
answer, they have Alzheimer's disease. So if you don't have those things on
your list, you're ahead of the game. Most people in America are dead
by seventy seven, seventy eight years old. I have a lot of my
patients they're in their eighties and nineties always complaining. It's like, hey,
man, you've outlived most of the country already. You could walk, you
could spend time with your grandkids. Be grateful for all the things that you
have, rather than focusing on the things that you don't have or the things
that are making you sick. Don't focus on those, focus on the things
that are making you healthy. That way, your function better, feel better,
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan More when we

to boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Caplan. So
we're talking about your mental attitude, all right, Stop focusing on the negative
aspects of your health. The key is to ignore your symptoms and focus on
things that make you feel better. Hey, when I wake up early and
go to the gym, I have a lot of energy that day. Hey,
when I eat a healthy diet, I don't get stuffed nose, or
I don't get stomach pains, or I have better bowel movements. When I
drink the proper amount of water. Hey, I'm not getting my leg cramps
in my calf anymore. My menstrual cramps aren't bad anymore. My headaches are
gone because I'm staying dehydrated with pink Kimley and salt. So lay water.
When I do my intermint fasting and I eat from ten to six and sleep
from ten to six, I get a deeper sleep. I wake up with
more energy. I feel less depressed and less anxiety. So focus all your
energy on doing the habits that make you feel good. Don't think about what
makes you feel bad. Just ignore the symptoms that make you feel bad.
If you bring your energy towards your symptoms, then your symptoms last longer.
Right, So you don't want to say, oh, I have a bad
memory. You want to say, oh, when I do X, Y
and Z, my memory improves. You don't want to say, oh,
I have a very sensitive digestive system, and you say oh, when I
eat these healthy foods, I have better bowel movements. You don't want to
say, oh, at night time, I get all these horrible cramps in
my caf You want to say, Hey, when I drink half my body
weight and ounces of so lay water every day, I don't get cramps anymore.
Focus all your energy on what makes you feel good as opposed to avoiding
things that make you feel bad. All right, now, there's lots of
cool stuff these days that can help you feel better that are beyond that we've
known for the past. Conger for example, hyper barrack oxygen chamber. We
have those at our offices. So the hyper Barrack oxygen chamber was initially invented
for the Bens people who went scuba diving, and then they came out and
they were all messed up with their They had vertigo or they had these inner
ear balance, these equilibrium problems. They have these uh what's called vestibular problems.
You might get busy, you might have balance problems, even ringing in
the ears. So a lot of people when they have these pressure changes from
like scuba diving, it affected their brains. So the chamber helped to treat
people who got dizzy after going deep sea scuba diving. But what they started
finding out that people went in to this oxygen chamber to heal their dizziness,
but their skin lesions healed, their scars healed, their wounds healed. So
then they said, oh, we could use the chamber for wound healing as
well. And then people with wounds started going in. Guess what, Their
lime disease went away, Their brain function improved, their energy improved, their
muscles became strong, and their balance was better. Their headaches went away.
So by doing the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, other side effects occurred in a good
way. Now people are using it for COVID nineteen. It's in hospitals.
People are using it for pargin scenes and stroke, for all different types of
bacteria, line disease, pneumonia, lung disease, liver disease. It kills
all bacteria viruses. People use it for mold exposure, heavy metal poisoning,
detoxification. The oxygen kills bacteria. The oxygen kills viruses, the oxygen kills
mold and yeast and parasites and worms and all these bad things that wreak havoc
in our systems. So that's one of the technologies that it's even being used
in hospitals now. Used to be just really famous people and rich people and
professional athletes would get it, but now it's affordable for everyday people. So
if you're having neurologic problems like neuropathy or vertigo, or headaches, or muscle
weakness, or low energy or fatigue or insomnia, anxiety, depression, this
is something you might want to look into. And if you stick around to
the end of the show, we're gonna give you guys a gift that includes
the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. So just wait around for the end of the show
and we'll go over that as well. Another new technology that we have in
our offices that works amazing is the infrared cold laser. The cold laser therapy
is unbelievable. It helps reduce inflammation, helps reduce pain, helps with neuropathies
brain function, helps with digestive problems, helps with burning mouth syndrome, helps
with ibs. We can put that laser almost everywhere. I'm using it with
patients with als. They love it, so we can put it on the
area of infection on the spinal cord and it actually helps them to walk better
and move better. The infrared cold laser used to be just for pain,
you know, like when I had I play a lot of sports and this
guy hit me in the knee and I was having this knee problem and nothing
could help me. I did massage, and I did physical therapy, and
I did acupuncture and chiropractic, and nothing worked like the cold laser that brought
down that inflammation, got rid of the pain, speeds up the healing process.
It's amazing how this cold laser therapy works and even works on the skin
people with herpies, scarlesions, acne exima. So we could use this laser
for a wide variety. So there's lots of hope out there for cures of
your condition that don't include surgery and medicine. When choosing a medical procedure,
you always want to measure the risk versus the ward. The hyperbaryck oxygen chamber
very little risk. You know, if you just had a retinal surgery,
you don't do it. If you just had big dental surgery, you got
these open gaps in your teeth, that's not the time to do it.
But there's very few contra indications for the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Same thing with
the cold cold laser therapy. We just don't want to get in your eyes,
so we have glasses that you wear, so even if you do open
up your eyes, it's not going to cause any damage. But for to
cause damage, you have to be looking at the laser that's pointing directly at
your eye. But the way we do it, we have your eyes closed,
we have you wear these glasses. We make sure we don't push the
laser anywhere towards your eyes. That's the only risk. And then you've got
to keep that laser moving, so it's very powerful, and we don't want
to just keep it in one spot on the skin. That wouldn't be good
either. But very low risk, very high reward. So sometimes medicines can
be high risk and low reward, or surgeries high risk, lower board,
so you always want the lowest risk and the highest reward. Those are the
therapies we choose. Hyperbaric oxygen chamber, infrared cold laser therapy, neuroplasticity using
neuro feedback. So we have a machine called neurofeedback where you have these electrodes
that are attached to your brain and you watch a video and as the video
becomes brighter, your brain releases dopamine and then the body wants more dopamine.
So it says these electrical signals through your brain to activate areas of dysfunction.
So people with Parkinson's it might have to go on your deep into that basal
ganglion or the frontal cortext People with balance problems might have to work on the
cerebellum. People with propial sceptive problems might have to work on the parietal cortext.
Memory problems got to put it on the temporal or visual problems got to
put it in the occipital. So depending on where you're having neurologic problems,
we can set up the neurofeedback machine to stimulate those weak areas. We're going
to give a special deal with neurofeedback at the end of this lesson today,
so be sure to stick around if you want to function better, feel better,
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan. You are
listening to boost your brain power more when we come back from the break.
If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus,
sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision,
headaches, brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your
human potential and prevent future diseases, that this is the show for you.
Don't mis boost your brain power with doctor Eric Kaplan and you will learn natural,
integrative, and holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's stroke, autism, add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia,
vertigo, migraines, four posture pain, TBI, skin and digestive problems.
Doctor Kaplan is most famous for getting to the root cause of a wide variety
of brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky
surgeries. To contact doctor Kaplin, you can call his team at two O
one two six one two one five zero or visit his website at kaplindc dot
com. Oh, and welcome back to boost your brain power. I am
your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about some modern technology that we
use in our offices to really help boost our brain power. And bring your
brain to the next level. We have neurofeedback machines, we got hyperbarre oxygen
chamber, we got infrared cold laser therapy. We have it's called the NSI,
the Neurosensory Integrator. It's this big flat screen TV where check your memory,
your focus. You have to memorize the order of different words, and
you have to coordinate and you have to there's a soft light touch screen.
You got to touch different angles and it measures all your reaction time, your
speed, how your brains function, how your memory is, your balance.
So that's called the Neurosensory Integrator. It's high technology just to boost your brain
power, improve memory, helps prevent dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, any type
of focus issues add ADHD. So these technologies are great. We also have
the interactive metronome that is made also for focus for add ADHD, be very
good for autistic children, dyslexic, Aspergers, Tourette's syndrome. So we have
all this great technology without any medication, no surgeries, no lobottomies, no
electrical shock therapy, nothing invasive, no side effects, just really up to
date neuroscience technology that's proven to improve your brain function at a high level.
Now, of course, we also do a lot of the what's called functional
neurology and neuroplasticity, all right, So with that, we do these neurologic
tests and evaluations to figure out where the weak areas of are the brain.
And just like if you have a weak muscle, you could go to the
gym and strengthen your weak muscle, we do brain exercises to strengthen weak airs.
If your brain, for example, let's say you have bad eyesight,
you could actually do eye exercises to improve your eyesight. You can improve your
near vision and far vision. I used to have horrible eyesight and I used
to have a worse prescription every year before I just discovered eye exercises, and
I've had glasses since I've been in elementary school my whole life basically, and
up until about seven eight years ago. Every year my vision would get worse
until my eye doctor said, hey, soon you're gonna need glasses for near
vision. I said, what are you talking about, and he said,
oh, as you get older, your near vision goes. And that triggered
me because I do not like when doctors say things happen as you get older,
because I know for a fact that's not true. And I prove to
him that my vision would get better as I got older. So that's why
I do these eye exercises. One of the best exercises I do, it's
called a brock string exercise, and that's very good to improve your near vision
and your far vision. And I did all these exercise I do CICADs pursuits.
I do what's called a vestibular ocular reflex optokinetic exercises. I do times
one, viewing, times zero, viewing times two viewing. All these different
eye exercises near far pencil pushups, verticals eye movements, horizontal e movements,
angular eye movements. So there's a lot of different ways to improve your vision.
But we have to figure out where your weakness is and then I could
give you specific exercises for your eyes. But stick around for the end of
the show and we're gonna give you a little gift. How we can analyze
that and let you know which exercises would be most appropriate for you. Your
memory can improve as you get older. Don't let doctors tell you, oh,
as you get older, your memory gets bad. That's not true.
It's common. We see it a lot. But just because we see it
a lot and it's common doesn't mean it's normal. If you do the right
things, your memory can improve. You could have a better memory at eighty
than you did it seventy. You could have a better memory at ninety than
you did it eighty, as long as you do the work. If you
don't do the work and you just sit at home on the couch, yes,
your memory is going to get worse. If you rely on the technology
and you don't remember anybody's phone numbers, and you don't know how to spell
things anymore, and you don't do math anymore, and you don't look at
a map and figure out directions anymore, and you don't memorize you know the
lines of a show anymore, and you don't remember who the actor is,
and you don't remember the lyrics to a song, and you just look everything
up on Google and YouTube. Because you don't remember how to do anything,
your brain is going to die off. It's called digital dementia. The more
you rely on the technology, your cell phone, your computer, your GPS,
your iPad, the dumber you get. The less you rely on the
technology, and the more you use your own brain power, the stronger your
memory is. Now there's a test you could do. We do it our
offices, but you can, you know, try it at home. It's
called the Mocha test. It's got to download it online. But that's the
standard test that all neurologists do to see if you have any predisposition to demands,
your Alzheimer's or anything like that. The score is out of a thirty.
You need someone else to give it to you. So that's why we
do it at our office where I can give it to you personally. And
you want to get at least a twenty six or above for normal. If
you're less than twenty six, that means you're already having some brain issues and
you get to take action. You don't want to wait with the brain.
The sooner you take action, the easier it is to fix. The longer
you wait, the harder it is to fix. Right, So, if
you want to boost your brain power, you want to improve your memory,
your energy, reduce any neurologic symptoms, you've got to do prevention. Announce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Now how do you do prevention?
Is you got to do a neurologic test The best neurologic test is called
a q EEG brain mapping. A qEEG brain mapping is what you wear.
This little cap looks like a swimmer's cap. It's got electrodes attached to it
in all different spots, and it covers all the different areas of your brain
your front door, your parietal, your cebellum, your temporal, your occipital,
So it covers all the different areas of brain. It's gonna tell us.
Do you have short term memory problems or long term memory problems or working
memory problems. Do you have low dopamine or low acetylcholine? Do you have
a thyroid problem? Do you have intestinal inflammation? Have you had a concussion?
Have you had a virus attack your brain? You have heavy metal poisoning?
Do you have anger? Do you have aggression? Do you have problems
with balance? Headaches, dizziness, floaters in the eyes, ringing in the
ears. Do you bump into things? Are you clumsy? Do you have
problems with your impulse control? Do you have problems with motivation, organization,
planning, executive function? Do you have depression? Do you have anxiety?
Do you have any trouble shifting tests? Do you lose things easily. Do
you have any problems with sleep? Insomnia, sleep deprivation, low energy.
It literally breaks down every single area of your brain and it tells us where
the abnormal brain waves are, and based on the location of the abnormal brain
waves, will tell us where the disconnect is. And once we find a
disconnect, now we could recommend the appropriate therapy, whether it's the neural feedback,
the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, the cold laser therapy, the NSI, the
interactive metronome, or the functional neurology with neuroplasticity, and that's where you do
brain exercises, balance exercises, eye exercises, different lights and sounds and smells,
different joint movements, coordination. We have this thing where you wear a
laser and you have to trace things, and you have to do reaction time.
You have to stand on one leg and you have to trail making exercises
and you have to remember certain steps, and you have to do balance exercise
and vestibular rehab and physical therapy. So it's more hands on, it's pretty
interactive. All that other stuff. You don't really have to do anything except
kind of let the doctor do everything. But with the neuroplasticity. Yes,
that's like you know you're going to the gym. It's like a brain boot
camp and you're doing brain exercises. So just like you go to gym and
exercise your muscles, we do these brain boot camps where you can actually exercise
your brain. Each treatment takes about a half an hour, right, and
all depends on where your weakness is, and the weaknesses will be determined by
the qEEG brain mapping. Now, this test is normally five hundred dollars,
but for the first seven people that call, text or email you could get
the q EEG brain mapping. Instead of paying five hundred dollars, you could
get it for only twenty one dollars. All you have to do is call,
text or email. The phone numbers six four six two two one six
seven three eight. Again that's six four six two two one sixty seven three
eight. You can call or text or you can email, and our email
is info at Kaplan braininbody dot com. Just say you want to be one
of the first seven people to do the five hundred dollars qEEG brain mapping for
only twenty one dollars. That's just a gift We're given to you to start
off the new year in a good direction. Get your brain in order so
a function better, feel better, and live a better life. This is

We're just talking about all the ways to boost your brain power. We could
use a lot of technology. There's a lot of technology these days. Some
people are doing stem cell treatments that's a little bit more invasive. So I'm
very conservative. I don't like to do invasive therapies. And they have beet
brain stimulation. Again I'm very conservative. I don't like to do anything too
invasive. They have these IgG types of treatments also again a little invasive.
You know, I'm not even a fan of the colonoscopies and the mamograms and
you know, all these ultrasounds, and I don't want excess radiation if not
necessary. I don't need a colonoscopy. I don't need enemas and calonics to
take out all the bad stuff. There's a lot of technology that can be
helpful, but you know, it's a little bit invasive. So I like
to do the least invasive possible. You know, It's like I want my
own gut to poop out the fecal matter. I want my stomach and intestines
to do what they're supposed to do. I don't want, you know,
a colonic to do it, because then the brain says, oh, you're
gonna take everything out for me. Then what do I have to do.
That's why I don't believe in taking melatonin, because the brain says, oh,
you're taking melatonin to sleep. I don't have to produce melatonin on my
own. It's much better to change your circainean rhythms on your own so that
the melatonin increases at night. And it's super simple to do. You just
got to do good habits for twenty one days. Spoke about them before.
So you go outside during sunrise and sunset just for five to ten minutes.
You also intermittent fast only eat from ten am to six pm. So you
want four hours from six pm to ten pm for your bedtime, so you
don't want any food from six pm to ten pm. That's going to help
get your serotonin or circadian rhythms in order, so your cornisol goes down and
your melatonin goes up. In the morning, we want cortisol high. So
that's the time ex size, that's the time to have sex or testosterone size.
That's the time to do your computer work where you could have the blue
light and the screens and the computers and all the lights are on. The
suns coming up the morning when testosterone cortisols hyes, that's the time to exercise,
to have sex, to use the computer, to do your work,
get your stuff done. Nighttime. Now you got to dim the lights,
turn off the computer, turn off the TV, turn off your cell phone,
no food, just turn off all the electronic exposure. Dim the lights
down. So bring down stimulation at night. That's going to increase melatonin.
So, and you want to keep it consistent. So to get good sleep,
you fall asleep at the same time every night, every single night.
You don't fall asleep at ten o'clock one night, eleven o'clock the other night,
then ten thirty, and then ten forty five, then ten to fifteen,
then ten o'clock, then ten thirty and then eleven. That's not consistent.
It has to be ten o'clock, ten o'clock, ten o'clock, ten
o'clock, ten o'clock for twenty one straight days. And then keep in mind
ninety minute sleep cycle. So your first sleep sleep cycles from ten to eleven
thirty. Then you get from eleven thirty to one, then one to two
thirty, then two thirty to four, four to five thirty, and then
if you want to get up at five thirty, great, And then if
you need to wake up and you want to do another sleep cycle. Then
you wake up at seven, so you want to do it in those ninety
minutes. So you're sleeping from you know, ten to five thirty. That's
the ideal time to sleep to get into your good circadium rhythm for the ninety
minute sleep cycle. So you fall asleep every day at ten and then you
wake up either at five thirty or seven because they're ninety minute sleep cycles.
There, got it, all right, that's for the melatonin to help you
into that deep sleep. Don't have any electronics plugged in in your bedroom.
No TV, no computer, don't have your all phone plugged in that's right
by your head. Just don't have on the other side of the wall.
Have you know, your electronics exposed there. So you want nothing plug in
near your head, especially at night. So even turn off the Wi Fi,
you know, turn off all these smart devices. You know. If
you use your phone for an alarm clock, put it on airplane mode.
Put it on the opposite end of the room so when it does go off,
you have to get up. Anyway, if you're gonna do something at
night, entertain read a book, listen to music, listen to a good
podcast. Maybe take a lesson, join a club, a sewing club,
a book club, a dance class, take up a hobby, a sport,
you know, do something social, learn an instrument, learn a language,
Start doing real activities at night. Stop going to work, coming home,
eating dinner, watching Netflix, going to bed. That is a recipe
for disaster. We do not want to do that. It's not a healthy
way to live, and that's not living life. You know, you have
one life on this earth. Enjoy life, have experiences, meet up with
people, do things that are social, your family, your friends, your
kids, sign up for activities. Stop watching TV every night. That's the
worst thing, especially if you're watching the news. If you want to get
healthy, you got to stay away from the news. The news is the
worst. It's everything that's going to make you stressed out. Right now,
there's a lot of other ways to figure out if you're stressed out, because
sometimes you might not even realize it. I can't tell you how many patients
I see that I'm like, you're in stressed, Moe. They don't even
realize it. They're like, I don't feel like I'm stressed, and they
watch the news and they think I don't feel like that affects me. But
then again they don't even realize, Hey, maybe that's why your blood pressure
is high. Right, So almost everyone in America after fifty or sixty has
high blood pressure and they're put on high blood pressure mats. We have the
most medicated country in the world. We have the most doctors, the most
hospitals, the most money in healthcare, the most pharmaceutical consumption. Now we're
also one of the sickest countries. So even though we have the most doctors,
the most hospitals, the most pharmaceuticals, the most medicine, most doctor
visits, we are the unhealthiest country. So that's why people it's confusing to
me where people like, oh, we need all this universal healthcare to get
our country healthier. It's like, actually, the people that are in the
system are the unhealthiest. The people out of the system, they're the healthiest.
The ones that don't see the doctors, don't take all the medicine,
don't take the pills, don't do all these MRIs and cat skins and biopsies
and and colonoscopies and endoscopies and ultrasounds. If you dig deepep enough, you'll
find something on everybody. But sometimes ignorance is bliss. Sometimes it's better not
to dig so deep because then you might find something that you don't like.
Now. Conversely, if you find something that you can do something about in
a natural way, then it's beneficial. Right, So don't do a test
if it's not going to change the way you proceed. For example, right,
if you don't want to do a back surgery, right, then it's
not really necessary to get the MRI because it's not going to change your treatment.
So let's say, Okay, the MRI says I have severe arthritis and
her need a disk and stenosis and bone spurs and all this stuff. But
you're like, hey, I don't want to do the surgery, Then why
do you do the test? Right now? If you're going to say,
hey, you know what I've done, physical therapy, did chiropractic, I
did massage. I feel like I've done a lot. Okay, now I'm
ready for surgery. Okay, then you do the test. However, what
if the test causes problems? Right? So radiation is dangerous, so cat
scans are dangerous, X rays, radiation, or what if you do the
MRI and you have to take that contrast fluid that could cause problems, or
what if you have hypercusis and the sound of the emerald that could cause problems
for your ears. So you always want to do a medical procedure, measure
the risk versus the reward. So don't do the test unless it's going to
change your treatment. Now, most people, you could do conservative therapy first
before you even do the tests. Right, So, if you have back
pain, we can do a lot of conservative therapy. I got the laser
therapy. We do manipulation of the joints, I do manual traction. People
come to move in neck pain, we work on the curve of their neck,
We get the bones in the right position, we work on their posture.
And so you can have a disc problem authritis and have no symptoms at
all if you do the right thing. So do your conservative therapy first.
Then if that doesn't work, you can always try some medication. If that
doesn't work, then you do some testing and look into the surgery. But
the surgery should always be the last resort. Always start off with the conservative
therapy first. Right, So if you have you know, a gas to
intestinal problem, it's like, okay, you don't necessarily want to do a
biopsy right away to see if there's you know, some cancer or something.
Biopsies can be dangerous, yeah, right, if you do a biopsy.
Sometimes if there's let's say a cyst, and they pop the cyst and it
is cancer. Now they spread it everywhere, So biopsy is a surgery too,
that's not you know, without risk. I can't tell you how many
patients we've seen where they did the biopsy and the biopsy got bursted and now
they said it's cancer and the cancer spreading everywhere. So it was stage one
cancer, but because they did the bioxy, now it's stage three cancer.
Now your outcomes even worse. So it canna be very careful with all these
testing. The mammograms. Do they really save lives? That's debatable. You
know a lot of times the cancer so fast that even if you did it
every year, it's not going to catch it, or the cancer so slow
doesn't pick up anything anyway. The tests that I like are non invasive,
so there's no risk. One of the best tests is called a VNG or
VOG. It's where you wear these goggles and it measures all your different eye
movements left, right, up and down, fast and slow and with life,
and when in a dark and when that head turn and I can literally
tell us what areas of the brain are overactive and what areas are underactive.
This test is normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people to
call, text or email you could get the VOG for only twenty one dollars.
All you gotta do is call texts six four six two two one six
seven three eight, or you can email info at kaplanbraininbody dot com. Also,
what I recommend is to do a one on one evaluation with me.

test findings normally five hundred dollars. For the first seven people that call,
