Hello, and welcome to 3 00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:18.320 boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. Everyone is 4 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:25.320 always trying to look for that easy, quick fix. However, that doesn't 5 00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:31.960 exist. There's no magic drug that you're going to take that's going to cure 6 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:37.439 your memory problems or your focus problems. Right, there was a pill that 7 00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:42.479 people could take and they wouldn't get dementia or Alzheimer's. Everyone would just take 8 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:47.840 it and no one would have Alzheimer's. It just doesn't exist. Right, 9 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.479 There's a there's vitamins and supplements out there. One of the most popular ones 10 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.359 prevaging. All my patients are always asking me about that, Oh, should 11 00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.840 I take that to improve my memory? Well, when you're taking pills to 12 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:07.840 improve your brain function, you have to figure out what areas are dysfunctional first, 13 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.159 So you might have to do some blood work. And if you do 14 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:19.680 blood work and you see that you have a lot of inflammation. Okay, 15 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.719 now it's time to take some natural anti inflammatories such as risveratrol or turmeric. 16 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.760 You know, mega threes, you know, rosemary something like that. Those 17 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.879 are natural anti inflammatories, all right, but we're gonna have to look at 18 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:42.239 the blood work first to see there's lots of markers such as homocysteen or CRP 19 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:49.319 or ESR that could indicate that there's a lot of inflammation in your body. 20 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:56.680 Now, if there's inflammation, okay, then maybe it's appropriate to take these 21 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:05.519 natural anti inflammatories. If you're vitamin D deficient, then it is normal to 22 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:14.400 take by supplementation. Everybody that I've tested in New Jersey, New York is 23 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:21.599 vitamin D deficient. Everybody, And I don't care. You know, if 24 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:30.800 you're outside a lot, it's still January and there's still cold in the air. 25 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.280 So when you go outside, you're wearing a coat, you're wearing pants, 26 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.639 everything's covered. There's not a lot of skin exposure. Plus, due 27 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:45.039 to the angle that the sun is hitting the earth, it's at its weakest 28 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:50.800 point right now, so you're getting the least amount of sun, you have 29 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.800 the most skin coverage, and you're gonna be outside the least because it's cold. 30 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.039 That is a recipe for vitamin D deficiency, and a lot of people 31 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:07.639 get what's called sad seasonal affect disorder where in the winter they get depressed. 32 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:15.960 That's because of vitamin D deficiency. So one of the best ways to get 33 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:21.199 out of a seasonal affect disorder depression is to take vitamin D and not just 34 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.919 some random vitamin D from CVS or Dwyane Reed or the Vitamin Shop or GNC 35 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.639 or Whole foods. Ninety nine percent of the vitamin d's out there are horrible. 36 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:38.039 They do not get absorbed. They don't have cofactors, they're not in 37 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.280 fat, they don't have the A and the E and the K and the 38 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:47.439 magnesium and the phosphorus to help with the absorption. People don't take it with 39 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:53.240 food, so it doesn't get absorbed right. So percent of the time people 40 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.039 are taking vitamin D, it's not really effective. In my opinion. It 41 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:04.159 should be done during the daytime when the light is out, so you get 42 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:09.639 your vitamin D from the sun. So take vitamin D when the sun is 43 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:14.319 out. Don't take it at nighttime when you should be getting ready for bed. 44 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.720 They get in the morning when the sun's coming up or in the afternoon 45 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:24.680 when the sun's strongest, and it has to be with food. And my 46 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:30.720 favorite vitamin D product is from apex Energetics, and don't get that online because 47 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.959 there's a lot of scammers out there who just use the label. So you 48 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:39.160 have to get it from a doctor that's associated with apex Energetics. And we 49 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.560 have these here at Kaplan Brain and Body. We have two offices, one 50 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.560 in Manhattan in the West Village and one in Bergen County, New Jersey. 51 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:53.639 So if you're interested in vitamin D supplementation, we also have a big discount 52 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:58.680 for all our radio callers for the month of January, So please give us 53 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:04.240 an email at info at Kaplanmrainobody dot com or you could call or text us 54 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:09.680 six four six two two one sixty seven three eight to take advantage of the 55 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:15.839 fifteen percent discount for Vitamin D supplementation for the month of January. That is 56 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.920 good for the first seven people that call, text or email. And this 57 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:25.360 is from apex Energetics. That's the best quality vitamin do you always want to 58 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:30.680 get from the quality companies for probiotics? I like Claire Laboratories. They're the 59 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.560 best. Now, a lot of people take probiotics over and over and over 60 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.000 all. I keep taking the same probiotics. That's not good. All the 61 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:44.759 bacteria have different tests, different jobs, different ways of fighting different you know, 62 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.120 some fight viruses, some fight bacteria, some fight some fight allergies, 63 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:53.160 some help with absorption, some help get rid of bed brain cells, heart 64 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.759 cells, skin cells. You know, you have all these bacteria that have 65 00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:01.319 their individual tasks. You keep using the same bacteria over and over and over 66 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.680 again, then your brain says, I don't need to keep producing this, 67 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.680 and you're missing out on all the other strains. So it's not about how 68 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:14.360 many billions of bacteria you take, but it's about the different variety that you 69 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:19.519 take. So probiotics if you're supplementing with those because you've taken antibiotics in your 70 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:25.800 past, or you take a lot of antibacterial lotions and sprays and soaps and 71 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:31.040 all this antibacterial and bleaches and all these cleaning products. That actually makes your 72 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:38.279 bacteria worse because it's killing off all the good bacteria. Don't do mouthwash that 73 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:43.279 kills off all the good bacteria. The alcohol kills off all the bad stuff. 74 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:47.240 If you want to kill off only the bad bacteria but preserve the good 75 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:53.560 bacteria, what you do it's called oil pulling. So in the morning that's 76 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:58.079 when the bacteria are the worst. So in the morning, before you even 77 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.759 swallow, don't let it get into your before you even talk. You go 78 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.920 straight to the bathroom, get your coconut oil, put it in your mouth, 79 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.560 swish it all around your gums, your teeth, and then spit it 80 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.000 out. You have to do thirty seconds, and if you have time, 81 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.120 you can do up to two minutes, but minimum thirty seconds of oil pulling 82 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:24.519 with coconut oil every morning. Don't spit it into the sink because it can 83 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.160 mess up your pipes, but just spit it out in the garbage. Don't 84 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.199 swallow it either, because we don't want to swallow all the bacteria that you're 85 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.720 killing. And if you really want to go for it, not only do 86 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:38.319 you do the coconut oil pulling in the morning, but put just a drop 87 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:44.040 of tea tree oil, which is also a natural antibiotic. That's the best 88 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.199 way to start in the morning. Now with mouthwash that kills off all the 89 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:53.399 good bacteria. Do oil pulling coconut oil for thirty seconds every morning, and 90 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:58.600 if you want, ad a drop of tea tree oil to help fight those 91 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.000 bad bacteria and spit it out in the garbage. After you're done the first 92 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:07.240 thing in the morning before you do anything else. Then you could get into 93 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.959 your morning routine, whether it's you know, having your bowet movement and then 94 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.680 going exercising, meal, prepping for your day, writing in your gratitude journal. 95 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.839 There's so many good habits you want to get into the morning. You 96 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.720 have to drink water on an empty stomach, so you want to do that 97 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:28.839 first thing in the morning. The best time to drink water is on an 98 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.480 empty stomach. You don't want to drink water with your meal. You want 99 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.000 to drink it before your meal, a half hour before each meal, plus 100 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.600 right in the morning when you wake up, and in the evening on an 101 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.720 empty stomach. So a typical meal might take about three to four hours to 102 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.320 digest. So let's say if you are done with eating at six pm, 103 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:56.399 bedtimes at ten pm, so you could drink a big glass of water sometime 104 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.200 between nine and ten. And don't think that drinking water at night is going 105 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.879 to make you get up to p. It's actually more common to get up 106 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:09.519 to P if you eat late at nights. That's why you want four hours 107 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.320 from your last meal to bedtime. So idealistically, it's called intermittent fasting. 108 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:20.120 You want to eat from ten am to six pm, and you want to 109 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:26.039 sleep from six From ten pm to six am, that is the best way 110 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.759 to eat and sleep. That gets you in your circadian rhythms, that sleep 111 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.559 cycle. Another way to help that is to walk outside during sunrise and walk 112 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.759 outside during sunset. Therefore, the brain says, Okay, it's time to 113 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.639 chill, it's time to relax, it's time to calm down, all right. 114 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.000 So getting back to seasonal affect disorder, you're gonna get that in the 115 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:58.840 winter, especially right now, so you have to supplement with a vitamin D. 116 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.440 Now. Another on way to help a ceialent affect its order is exercise. 117 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.000 So a lot of people stop exercising the winter. You gotta exercise more 118 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:11.039 in the winter, all right, You gotta. You gotta really not leave 119 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:18.000 out on drinking the water, exercising, getting your vitamin D. Writing in 120 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.480 your gratitude journal, be thankful. There's so many things to be thankful in 121 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.480 your life right now. But everyone likes to complain. Oh, let me 122 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:33.639 complain about the Democrats or the Republicans, or let me complain about the inflation 123 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:41.000 or gas prices. Let me complain about the war in Israel or Ukraine. 124 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:48.120 Let me complain about the government, or the natural disasters, or the crime 125 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:54.240 in New York City, or the pollution or the you know, electrical cars 126 00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:01.879 and the global warming and the five G and it's so easy to complain and 127 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:07.240 find out these bad things. But that's not healthy. You want to be 128 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:13.279 the person that brings joy to the room and say, oh, it's such 129 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.120 a great time to be alive. You know, there's it's not like you 130 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.799 know, one hundred years ago, where you know, there were the gangs 131 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:28.080 of New York running the streets, the mafia was running the town. It's 132 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.720 not like you was the one hundred years ago. We're in the you know, 133 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:39.679 great Depression and there's no food on the table and you know there it's 134 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:45.519 not like we're in a World War two where people are getting drafted and going 135 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:50.720 to Vietnam and you know, if you think about it, this is the 136 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.120 greatest time to be alive. I mean, we had uh, what was 137 00:11:54.200 --> 00:12:00.000 it, nine to eleven was over twenty years ago, you know, Pearl 138 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:05.039 Harbor was you know, ninety eighty years ago. I mean, we're protected 139 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:11.279 by the Atlantic Ocean, We're protected by the Pacific Ocean. We have kind 140 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:18.600 neighbors in Canada. And yes, you know there's a lot of possible people 141 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.720 coming from the southern border that could be have some bad inten chains and there's 142 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.480 you know, fentanyl getting through that border, and there's you know, drug 143 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.200 dealers, and there's childhood trafficking. So yes, there is bad stuff that's 144 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.639 going on. But in the big scheme of things, you know, most 145 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.000 people they lock their door at night. Most people they got a roof up 146 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:46.720 overhead. Most people have clothes on their back. They know where their next 147 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.960 meal is coming from. So there's not anyone trying to murder them or rape 148 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:58.000 them or kill them. So every day you should wake up just thanking God. 149 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.559 I could see, I could hear, I could eat, I could 150 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.840 pee, I could poop, I could walk, I could talk. I 151 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.440 have people that love me. I have friends, I have family, I 152 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.720 have a car, I have a house. Be thankful for all these things 153 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.679 that we take for granted. Because I have patients that are blind, they 154 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.039 can't see. I have patients that are deaf, they can't hear. I 155 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.960 have patients and wheelchairs they can't walk. We have patients with Alzheimer's, they 156 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.039 can't remember their kids' names. We have patients with Parkinson's who have really bad 157 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.759 tremors and balance problems, people with traumatic brain injury who have memory problems and 158 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.480 headaches and dizziness and brain fog, and people with lime disease and COVID nineteen 159 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.879 long haulers that are just miserable. They have burning mouth syndrome, they have 160 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.600 chemical sensitivities, they have digestive problems. So there's so many horrible things that 161 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.559 people are experiencing now. But if you look at all the good things in 162 00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.519 your health and you say, hey, you know what, I'm doing pretty 163 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.840 good. Most Americans are obese, they have heart disease, they have can 164 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.960 answer, they have Alzheimer's disease. So if you don't have those things on 165 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:09.720 your list, you're ahead of the game. Most people in America are dead 166 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.279 by seventy seven, seventy eight years old. I have a lot of my 167 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:18.440 patients they're in their eighties and nineties always complaining. It's like, hey, 168 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:24.000 man, you've outlived most of the country already. You could walk, you 169 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.600 could spend time with your grandkids. Be grateful for all the things that you 170 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:35.759 have, rather than focusing on the things that you don't have or the things 171 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:41.399 that are making you sick. Don't focus on those, focus on the things 172 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.399 that are making you healthy.

Welcome back 185 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:56.799 to boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Caplan. So 186 00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:02.799 we're talking about your mental attitude, all right, Stop focusing on the negative 187 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:10.200 aspects of your health. The key is to ignore your symptoms and focus on 188 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.080 things that make you feel better. Hey, when I wake up early and 189 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.600 go to the gym, I have a lot of energy that day. Hey, 190 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:23.360 when I eat a healthy diet, I don't get stuffed nose, or 191 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.720 I don't get stomach pains, or I have better bowel movements. When I 192 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:33.600 drink the proper amount of water. Hey, I'm not getting my leg cramps 193 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:38.600 in my calf anymore. My menstrual cramps aren't bad anymore. My headaches are 194 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:42.840 gone because I'm staying dehydrated with pink Kimley and salt. So lay water. 195 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:49.120 When I do my intermint fasting and I eat from ten to six and sleep 196 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:53.240 from ten to six, I get a deeper sleep. I wake up with 197 00:16:53.279 --> 00:17:00.919 more energy. I feel less depressed and less anxiety. So focus all your 198 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:07.240 energy on doing the habits that make you feel good. Don't think about what 199 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:15.119 makes you feel bad. Just ignore the symptoms that make you feel bad. 200 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.920 If you bring your energy towards your symptoms, then your symptoms last longer. 201 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.119 Right, So you don't want to say, oh, I have a bad 202 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:30.960 memory. You want to say, oh, when I do X, Y 203 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.240 and Z, my memory improves. You don't want to say, oh, 204 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:38.240 I have a very sensitive digestive system, and you say oh, when I 205 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:45.000 eat these healthy foods, I have better bowel movements. You don't want to 206 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.000 say, oh, at night time, I get all these horrible cramps in 207 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.400 my caf You want to say, Hey, when I drink half my body 208 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:56.240 weight and ounces of so lay water every day, I don't get cramps anymore. 209 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:02.680 Focus all your energy on what makes you feel good as opposed to avoiding 210 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:07.240 things that make you feel bad. All right, now, there's lots of 211 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.480 cool stuff these days that can help you feel better that are beyond that we've 212 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:18.839 known for the past. Conger for example, hyper barrack oxygen chamber. We 213 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:26.759 have those at our offices. So the hyper Barrack oxygen chamber was initially invented 214 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:32.359 for the Bens people who went scuba diving, and then they came out and 215 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:37.400 they were all messed up with their They had vertigo or they had these inner 216 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:45.680 ear balance, these equilibrium problems. They have these uh what's called vestibular problems. 217 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.519 You might get busy, you might have balance problems, even ringing in 218 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:55.519 the ears. So a lot of people when they have these pressure changes from 219 00:18:55.559 --> 00:19:02.720 like scuba diving, it affected their brains. So the chamber helped to treat 220 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:10.839 people who got dizzy after going deep sea scuba diving. But what they started 221 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:21.160 finding out that people went in to this oxygen chamber to heal their dizziness, 222 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:32.240 but their skin lesions healed, their scars healed, their wounds healed. So 223 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:34.839 then they said, oh, we could use the chamber for wound healing as 224 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:40.400 well. And then people with wounds started going in. Guess what, Their 225 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:47.359 lime disease went away, Their brain function improved, their energy improved, their 226 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:52.480 muscles became strong, and their balance was better. Their headaches went away. 227 00:19:53.759 --> 00:20:02.160 So by doing the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, other side effects occurred in a good 228 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:07.960 way. Now people are using it for COVID nineteen. It's in hospitals. 229 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:14.519 People are using it for pargin scenes and stroke, for all different types of 230 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:19.920 bacteria, line disease, pneumonia, lung disease, liver disease. It kills 231 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:26.079 all bacteria viruses. People use it for mold exposure, heavy metal poisoning, 232 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:34.240 detoxification. The oxygen kills bacteria. The oxygen kills viruses, the oxygen kills 233 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:41.079 mold and yeast and parasites and worms and all these bad things that wreak havoc 234 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.400 in our systems. So that's one of the technologies that it's even being used 235 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:48.839 in hospitals now. Used to be just really famous people and rich people and 236 00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:56.200 professional athletes would get it, but now it's affordable for everyday people. So 237 00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:03.000 if you're having neurologic problems like neuropathy or vertigo, or headaches, or muscle 238 00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:07.119 weakness, or low energy or fatigue or insomnia, anxiety, depression, this 239 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.599 is something you might want to look into. And if you stick around to 240 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:14.079 the end of the show, we're gonna give you guys a gift that includes 241 00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:17.480 the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. So just wait around for the end of the show 242 00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:21.640 and we'll go over that as well. Another new technology that we have in 243 00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:30.000 our offices that works amazing is the infrared cold laser. The cold laser therapy 244 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:37.519 is unbelievable. It helps reduce inflammation, helps reduce pain, helps with neuropathies 245 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:45.960 brain function, helps with digestive problems, helps with burning mouth syndrome, helps 246 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:52.079 with ibs. We can put that laser almost everywhere. I'm using it with 247 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:57.359 patients with als. They love it, so we can put it on the 248 00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:03.480 area of infection on the spinal cord and it actually helps them to walk better 249 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:08.200 and move better. The infrared cold laser used to be just for pain, 250 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.160 you know, like when I had I play a lot of sports and this 251 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.359 guy hit me in the knee and I was having this knee problem and nothing 252 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.119 could help me. I did massage, and I did physical therapy, and 253 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:26.480 I did acupuncture and chiropractic, and nothing worked like the cold laser that brought 254 00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:30.960 down that inflammation, got rid of the pain, speeds up the healing process. 255 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.440 It's amazing how this cold laser therapy works and even works on the skin 256 00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:45.519 people with herpies, scarlesions, acne exima. So we could use this laser 257 00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:51.880 for a wide variety. So there's lots of hope out there for cures of 258 00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:57.039 your condition that don't include surgery and medicine. When choosing a medical procedure, 259 00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:03.200 you always want to measure the risk versus the ward. The hyperbaryck oxygen chamber 260 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.720 very little risk. You know, if you just had a retinal surgery, 261 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.720 you don't do it. If you just had big dental surgery, you got 262 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:14.720 these open gaps in your teeth, that's not the time to do it. 263 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:21.240 But there's very few contra indications for the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Same thing with 264 00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:23.640 the cold cold laser therapy. We just don't want to get in your eyes, 265 00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.079 so we have glasses that you wear, so even if you do open 266 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:33.000 up your eyes, it's not going to cause any damage. But for to 267 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:34.960 cause damage, you have to be looking at the laser that's pointing directly at 268 00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:37.960 your eye. But the way we do it, we have your eyes closed, 269 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.519 we have you wear these glasses. We make sure we don't push the 270 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:47.039 laser anywhere towards your eyes. That's the only risk. And then you've got 271 00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:51.240 to keep that laser moving, so it's very powerful, and we don't want 272 00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:53.319 to just keep it in one spot on the skin. That wouldn't be good 273 00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:59.519 either. But very low risk, very high reward. So sometimes medicines can 274 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:04.160 be high risk and low reward, or surgeries high risk, lower board, 275 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:08.960 so you always want the lowest risk and the highest reward. Those are the 276 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:18.400 therapies we choose. Hyperbaric oxygen chamber, infrared cold laser therapy, neuroplasticity using 277 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:25.799 neuro feedback. So we have a machine called neurofeedback where you have these electrodes 278 00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:27.960 that are attached to your brain and you watch a video and as the video 279 00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:33.160 becomes brighter, your brain releases dopamine and then the body wants more dopamine. 280 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:41.160 So it says these electrical signals through your brain to activate areas of dysfunction. 281 00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.000 So people with Parkinson's it might have to go on your deep into that basal 282 00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:49.160 ganglion or the frontal cortext People with balance problems might have to work on the 283 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:55.039 cerebellum. People with propial sceptive problems might have to work on the parietal cortext. 284 00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:57.680 Memory problems got to put it on the temporal or visual problems got to 285 00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:02.839 put it in the occipital. So depending on where you're having neurologic problems, 286 00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:08.720 we can set up the neurofeedback machine to stimulate those weak areas. We're going 287 00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:17.039 to give a special deal with neurofeedback at the end of this lesson today, 288 00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:21.000 so be sure to stick around if you want to function better, feel better, 289 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:26.319 and live a better life.

To contact doctor Kaplin, you can call his team at two O 302 00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.759 one two six one two one five zero or visit his website at kaplindc dot 303 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:33.039 com. Oh, and welcome back to boost your brain power. I am 304 00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:40.200 your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about some modern technology that we 305 00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:44.839 use in our offices to really help boost our brain power. And bring your 306 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:51.359 brain to the next level. We have neurofeedback machines, we got hyperbarre oxygen 307 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:56.519 chamber, we got infrared cold laser therapy. We have it's called the NSI, 308 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:03.279 the Neurosensory Integrator. It's this big flat screen TV where check your memory, 309 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:06.640 your focus. You have to memorize the order of different words, and 310 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:10.079 you have to coordinate and you have to there's a soft light touch screen. 311 00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.759 You got to touch different angles and it measures all your reaction time, your 312 00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:17.839 speed, how your brains function, how your memory is, your balance. 313 00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:22.559 So that's called the Neurosensory Integrator. It's high technology just to boost your brain 314 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:30.519 power, improve memory, helps prevent dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, any type 315 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:37.160 of focus issues add ADHD. So these technologies are great. We also have 316 00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:45.160 the interactive metronome that is made also for focus for add ADHD, be very 317 00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:53.200 good for autistic children, dyslexic, Aspergers, Tourette's syndrome. So we have 318 00:27:53.240 --> 00:28:00.759 all this great technology without any medication, no surgeries, no lobottomies, no 319 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:07.440 electrical shock therapy, nothing invasive, no side effects, just really up to 320 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:12.880 date neuroscience technology that's proven to improve your brain function at a high level. 321 00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.839 Now, of course, we also do a lot of the what's called functional 322 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:25.960 neurology and neuroplasticity, all right, So with that, we do these neurologic 323 00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:30.359 tests and evaluations to figure out where the weak areas of are the brain. 324 00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:34.240 And just like if you have a weak muscle, you could go to the 325 00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:41.240 gym and strengthen your weak muscle, we do brain exercises to strengthen weak airs. 326 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.640 If your brain, for example, let's say you have bad eyesight, 327 00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.880 you could actually do eye exercises to improve your eyesight. You can improve your 328 00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:56.160 near vision and far vision. I used to have horrible eyesight and I used 329 00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:02.880 to have a worse prescription every year before I just discovered eye exercises, and 330 00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:07.599 I've had glasses since I've been in elementary school my whole life basically, and 331 00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.839 up until about seven eight years ago. Every year my vision would get worse 332 00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:18.160 until my eye doctor said, hey, soon you're gonna need glasses for near 333 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:19.640 vision. I said, what are you talking about, and he said, 334 00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:22.839 oh, as you get older, your near vision goes. And that triggered 335 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.720 me because I do not like when doctors say things happen as you get older, 336 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.359 because I know for a fact that's not true. And I prove to 337 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:34.480 him that my vision would get better as I got older. So that's why 338 00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.759 I do these eye exercises. One of the best exercises I do, it's 339 00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:44.599 called a brock string exercise, and that's very good to improve your near vision 340 00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:49.839 and your far vision. And I did all these exercise I do CICADs pursuits. 341 00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:56.400 I do what's called a vestibular ocular reflex optokinetic exercises. I do times 342 00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:59.759 one, viewing, times zero, viewing times two viewing. All these different 343 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:08.079 eye exercises near far pencil pushups, verticals eye movements, horizontal e movements, 344 00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:14.200 angular eye movements. So there's a lot of different ways to improve your vision. 345 00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:15.640 But we have to figure out where your weakness is and then I could 346 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:22.480 give you specific exercises for your eyes. But stick around for the end of 347 00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.920 the show and we're gonna give you a little gift. How we can analyze 348 00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:30.559 that and let you know which exercises would be most appropriate for you. Your 349 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.079 memory can improve as you get older. Don't let doctors tell you, oh, 350 00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:37.319 as you get older, your memory gets bad. That's not true. 351 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:42.720 It's common. We see it a lot. But just because we see it 352 00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:48.000 a lot and it's common doesn't mean it's normal. If you do the right 353 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.039 things, your memory can improve. You could have a better memory at eighty 354 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.160 than you did it seventy. You could have a better memory at ninety than 355 00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.200 you did it eighty, as long as you do the work. If you 356 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.200 don't do the work and you just sit at home on the couch, yes, 357 00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:07.440 your memory is going to get worse. If you rely on the technology 358 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.440 and you don't remember anybody's phone numbers, and you don't know how to spell 359 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.559 things anymore, and you don't do math anymore, and you don't look at 360 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:21.599 a map and figure out directions anymore, and you don't memorize you know the 361 00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:25.240 lines of a show anymore, and you don't remember who the actor is, 362 00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:29.359 and you don't remember the lyrics to a song, and you just look everything 363 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.720 up on Google and YouTube. Because you don't remember how to do anything, 364 00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.319 your brain is going to die off. It's called digital dementia. The more 365 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.720 you rely on the technology, your cell phone, your computer, your GPS, 366 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:47.599 your iPad, the dumber you get. The less you rely on the 367 00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:52.359 technology, and the more you use your own brain power, the stronger your 368 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.359 memory is. Now there's a test you could do. We do it our 369 00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:57.799 offices, but you can, you know, try it at home. It's 370 00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:01.440 called the Mocha test. It's got to download it online. But that's the 371 00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:07.279 standard test that all neurologists do to see if you have any predisposition to demands, 372 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:09.480 your Alzheimer's or anything like that. The score is out of a thirty. 373 00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:12.359 You need someone else to give it to you. So that's why we 374 00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:15.119 do it at our office where I can give it to you personally. And 375 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:19.160 you want to get at least a twenty six or above for normal. If 376 00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:22.920 you're less than twenty six, that means you're already having some brain issues and 377 00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:28.640 you get to take action. You don't want to wait with the brain. 378 00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:31.480 The sooner you take action, the easier it is to fix. The longer 379 00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:36.640 you wait, the harder it is to fix. Right, So, if 380 00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.079 you want to boost your brain power, you want to improve your memory, 381 00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:45.799 your energy, reduce any neurologic symptoms, you've got to do prevention. Announce 382 00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:51.039 of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Now how do you do prevention? 383 00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:55.759 Is you got to do a neurologic test The best neurologic test is called 384 00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:04.119 a q EEG brain mapping. A qEEG brain mapping is what you wear. 385 00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:07.359 This little cap looks like a swimmer's cap. It's got electrodes attached to it 386 00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:10.839 in all different spots, and it covers all the different areas of your brain 387 00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.160 your front door, your parietal, your cebellum, your temporal, your occipital, 388 00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:19.400 So it covers all the different areas of brain. It's gonna tell us. 389 00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:22.359 Do you have short term memory problems or long term memory problems or working 390 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:28.200 memory problems. Do you have low dopamine or low acetylcholine? Do you have 391 00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:31.799 a thyroid problem? Do you have intestinal inflammation? Have you had a concussion? 392 00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:37.160 Have you had a virus attack your brain? You have heavy metal poisoning? 393 00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:39.599 Do you have anger? Do you have aggression? Do you have problems 394 00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:45.400 with balance? Headaches, dizziness, floaters in the eyes, ringing in the 395 00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:49.640 ears. Do you bump into things? Are you clumsy? Do you have 396 00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:55.279 problems with your impulse control? Do you have problems with motivation, organization, 397 00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.519 planning, executive function? Do you have depression? Do you have anxiety? 398 00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:07.519 Do you have any trouble shifting tests? Do you lose things easily. Do 399 00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:12.719 you have any problems with sleep? Insomnia, sleep deprivation, low energy. 400 00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:19.480 It literally breaks down every single area of your brain and it tells us where 401 00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.760 the abnormal brain waves are, and based on the location of the abnormal brain 402 00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:28.639 waves, will tell us where the disconnect is. And once we find a 403 00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:32.360 disconnect, now we could recommend the appropriate therapy, whether it's the neural feedback, 404 00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:38.000 the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, the cold laser therapy, the NSI, the 405 00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:44.599 interactive metronome, or the functional neurology with neuroplasticity, and that's where you do 406 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:50.320 brain exercises, balance exercises, eye exercises, different lights and sounds and smells, 407 00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:53.119 different joint movements, coordination. We have this thing where you wear a 408 00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:57.840 laser and you have to trace things, and you have to do reaction time. 409 00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:00.719 You have to stand on one leg and you have to trail making exercises 410 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:06.000 and you have to remember certain steps, and you have to do balance exercise 411 00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:09.239 and vestibular rehab and physical therapy. So it's more hands on, it's pretty 412 00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:14.079 interactive. All that other stuff. You don't really have to do anything except 413 00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:17.239 kind of let the doctor do everything. But with the neuroplasticity. Yes, 414 00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:21.000 that's like you know you're going to the gym. It's like a brain boot 415 00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:24.280 camp and you're doing brain exercises. So just like you go to gym and 416 00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:30.039 exercise your muscles, we do these brain boot camps where you can actually exercise 417 00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:34.400 your brain. Each treatment takes about a half an hour, right, and 418 00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:38.840 all depends on where your weakness is, and the weaknesses will be determined by 419 00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:45.039 the qEEG brain mapping. Now, this test is normally five hundred dollars, 420 00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:50.079 but for the first seven people that call, text or email you could get 421 00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:53.679 the q EEG brain mapping. Instead of paying five hundred dollars, you could 422 00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:58.679 get it for only twenty one dollars. All you have to do is call, 423 00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:02.599 text or email. The phone numbers six four six two two one six 424 00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:08.400 seven three eight. Again that's six four six two two one sixty seven three 425 00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:14.320 eight. You can call or text or you can email, and our email 426 00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:19.840 is info at Kaplan braininbody dot com. Just say you want to be one 427 00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:23.840 of the first seven people to do the five hundred dollars qEEG brain mapping for 428 00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:29.400 only twenty one dollars.

Welcome 443 00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:49.920 back to boost your brain power. I'm your host, Doctor Eric Kaplan. 444 00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:53.960 We're just talking about all the ways to boost your brain power. We could 445 00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:58.239 use a lot of technology. There's a lot of technology these days. Some 446 00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:02.719 people are doing stem cell treatments that's a little bit more invasive. So I'm 447 00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:07.159 very conservative. I don't like to do invasive therapies. And they have beet 448 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:13.840 brain stimulation. Again I'm very conservative. I don't like to do anything too 449 00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:20.400 invasive. They have these IgG types of treatments also again a little invasive. 450 00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:25.719 You know, I'm not even a fan of the colonoscopies and the mamograms and 451 00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:30.360 you know, all these ultrasounds, and I don't want excess radiation if not 452 00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:39.760 necessary. I don't need a colonoscopy. I don't need enemas and calonics to 453 00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:44.760 take out all the bad stuff. There's a lot of technology that can be 454 00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:46.039 helpful, but you know, it's a little bit invasive. So I like 455 00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:51.519 to do the least invasive possible. You know, It's like I want my 456 00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:57.880 own gut to poop out the fecal matter. I want my stomach and intestines 457 00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:00.719 to do what they're supposed to do. I don't want, you know, 458 00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:05.119 a colonic to do it, because then the brain says, oh, you're 459 00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:07.760 gonna take everything out for me. Then what do I have to do. 460 00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.440 That's why I don't believe in taking melatonin, because the brain says, oh, 461 00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:14.880 you're taking melatonin to sleep. I don't have to produce melatonin on my 462 00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:19.519 own. It's much better to change your circainean rhythms on your own so that 463 00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:22.840 the melatonin increases at night. And it's super simple to do. You just 464 00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:28.199 got to do good habits for twenty one days. Spoke about them before. 465 00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:32.400 So you go outside during sunrise and sunset just for five to ten minutes. 466 00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:37.800 You also intermittent fast only eat from ten am to six pm. So you 467 00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:45.039 want four hours from six pm to ten pm for your bedtime, so you 468 00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:49.639 don't want any food from six pm to ten pm. That's going to help 469 00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:54.400 get your serotonin or circadian rhythms in order, so your cornisol goes down and 470 00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:58.960 your melatonin goes up. In the morning, we want cortisol high. So 471 00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:01.679 that's the time ex size, that's the time to have sex or testosterone size. 472 00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:05.440 That's the time to do your computer work where you could have the blue 473 00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:08.480 light and the screens and the computers and all the lights are on. The 474 00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:15.239 suns coming up the morning when testosterone cortisols hyes, that's the time to exercise, 475 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:17.760 to have sex, to use the computer, to do your work, 476 00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:22.920 get your stuff done. Nighttime. Now you got to dim the lights, 477 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:27.840 turn off the computer, turn off the TV, turn off your cell phone, 478 00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:32.079 no food, just turn off all the electronic exposure. Dim the lights 479 00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:37.320 down. So bring down stimulation at night. That's going to increase melatonin. 480 00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:40.280 So, and you want to keep it consistent. So to get good sleep, 481 00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:45.599 you fall asleep at the same time every night, every single night. 482 00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:47.960 You don't fall asleep at ten o'clock one night, eleven o'clock the other night, 483 00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:51.360 then ten thirty, and then ten forty five, then ten to fifteen, 484 00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:53.920 then ten o'clock, then ten thirty and then eleven. That's not consistent. 485 00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:58.000 It has to be ten o'clock, ten o'clock, ten o'clock, ten 486 00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:01.519 o'clock, ten o'clock for twenty one straight days. And then keep in mind 487 00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:07.199 ninety minute sleep cycle. So your first sleep sleep cycles from ten to eleven 488 00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:10.400 thirty. Then you get from eleven thirty to one, then one to two 489 00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:16.079 thirty, then two thirty to four, four to five thirty, and then 490 00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:19.800 if you want to get up at five thirty, great, And then if 491 00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:22.320 you need to wake up and you want to do another sleep cycle. Then 492 00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:24.920 you wake up at seven, so you want to do it in those ninety 493 00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:30.199 minutes. So you're sleeping from you know, ten to five thirty. That's 494 00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:37.519 the ideal time to sleep to get into your good circadium rhythm for the ninety 495 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:42.880 minute sleep cycle. So you fall asleep every day at ten and then you 496 00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:47.360 wake up either at five thirty or seven because they're ninety minute sleep cycles. 497 00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:52.599 There, got it, all right, that's for the melatonin to help you 498 00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:55.800 into that deep sleep. Don't have any electronics plugged in in your bedroom. 499 00:41:57.239 --> 00:42:00.559 No TV, no computer, don't have your all phone plugged in that's right 500 00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:04.679 by your head. Just don't have on the other side of the wall. 501 00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:10.760 Have you know, your electronics exposed there. So you want nothing plug in 502 00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:16.559 near your head, especially at night. So even turn off the Wi Fi, 503 00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:21.400 you know, turn off all these smart devices. You know. If 504 00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:23.519 you use your phone for an alarm clock, put it on airplane mode. 505 00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:27.880 Put it on the opposite end of the room so when it does go off, 506 00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:30.079 you have to get up. Anyway, if you're gonna do something at 507 00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:36.639 night, entertain read a book, listen to music, listen to a good 508 00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:42.360 podcast. Maybe take a lesson, join a club, a sewing club, 509 00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:47.000 a book club, a dance class, take up a hobby, a sport, 510 00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:52.280 you know, do something social, learn an instrument, learn a language, 511 00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:57.480 Start doing real activities at night. Stop going to work, coming home, 512 00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:00.800 eating dinner, watching Netflix, going to bed. That is a recipe 513 00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:04.800 for disaster. We do not want to do that. It's not a healthy 514 00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:07.440 way to live, and that's not living life. You know, you have 515 00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:12.960 one life on this earth. Enjoy life, have experiences, meet up with 516 00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:17.239 people, do things that are social, your family, your friends, your 517 00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:22.119 kids, sign up for activities. Stop watching TV every night. That's the 518 00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:27.079 worst thing, especially if you're watching the news. If you want to get 519 00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:31.199 healthy, you got to stay away from the news. The news is the 520 00:43:31.400 --> 00:43:37.639 worst. It's everything that's going to make you stressed out. Right now, 521 00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:40.639 there's a lot of other ways to figure out if you're stressed out, because 522 00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:45.039 sometimes you might not even realize it. I can't tell you how many patients 523 00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:46.280 I see that I'm like, you're in stressed, Moe. They don't even 524 00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:50.000 realize it. They're like, I don't feel like I'm stressed, and they 525 00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:52.719 watch the news and they think I don't feel like that affects me. But 526 00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:57.679 then again they don't even realize, Hey, maybe that's why your blood pressure 527 00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:05.480 is high. Right, So almost everyone in America after fifty or sixty has 528 00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:08.880 high blood pressure and they're put on high blood pressure mats. We have the 529 00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:15.039 most medicated country in the world. We have the most doctors, the most 530 00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:22.599 hospitals, the most money in healthcare, the most pharmaceutical consumption. Now we're 531 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:25.559 also one of the sickest countries. So even though we have the most doctors, 532 00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:30.199 the most hospitals, the most pharmaceuticals, the most medicine, most doctor 533 00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:36.800 visits, we are the unhealthiest country. So that's why people it's confusing to 534 00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:39.239 me where people like, oh, we need all this universal healthcare to get 535 00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:44.599 our country healthier. It's like, actually, the people that are in the 536 00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:49.960 system are the unhealthiest. The people out of the system, they're the healthiest. 537 00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:53.119 The ones that don't see the doctors, don't take all the medicine, 538 00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:59.639 don't take the pills, don't do all these MRIs and cat skins and biopsies 539 00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:06.599 and and colonoscopies and endoscopies and ultrasounds. If you dig deepep enough, you'll 540 00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:14.920 find something on everybody. But sometimes ignorance is bliss. Sometimes it's better not 541 00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:19.119 to dig so deep because then you might find something that you don't like. 542 00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:27.840 Now. Conversely, if you find something that you can do something about in 543 00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:32.000 a natural way, then it's beneficial. Right, So don't do a test 544 00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:39.119 if it's not going to change the way you proceed. For example, right, 545 00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:46.039 if you don't want to do a back surgery, right, then it's 546 00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:54.519 not really necessary to get the MRI because it's not going to change your treatment. 547 00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:59.079 So let's say, Okay, the MRI says I have severe arthritis and 548 00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:05.840 her need a disk and stenosis and bone spurs and all this stuff. But 549 00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:07.480 you're like, hey, I don't want to do the surgery, Then why 550 00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:14.079 do you do the test? Right now? If you're going to say, 551 00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:19.119 hey, you know what I've done, physical therapy, did chiropractic, I 552 00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:23.880 did massage. I feel like I've done a lot. Okay, now I'm 553 00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:30.639 ready for surgery. Okay, then you do the test. However, what 554 00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:35.559 if the test causes problems? Right? So radiation is dangerous, so cat 555 00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:39.039 scans are dangerous, X rays, radiation, or what if you do the 556 00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:44.840 MRI and you have to take that contrast fluid that could cause problems, or 557 00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:49.199 what if you have hypercusis and the sound of the emerald that could cause problems 558 00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:52.960 for your ears. So you always want to do a medical procedure, measure 559 00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:59.159 the risk versus the reward. So don't do the test unless it's going to 560 00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:04.000 change your treatment. Now, most people, you could do conservative therapy first 561 00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:06.800 before you even do the tests. Right, So, if you have back 562 00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:10.000 pain, we can do a lot of conservative therapy. I got the laser 563 00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:15.599 therapy. We do manipulation of the joints, I do manual traction. People 564 00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:19.480 come to move in neck pain, we work on the curve of their neck, 565 00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:22.920 We get the bones in the right position, we work on their posture. 566 00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:25.840 And so you can have a disc problem authritis and have no symptoms at 567 00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:30.840 all if you do the right thing. So do your conservative therapy first. 568 00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:34.119 Then if that doesn't work, you can always try some medication. If that 569 00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:37.480 doesn't work, then you do some testing and look into the surgery. But 570 00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:40.679 the surgery should always be the last resort. Always start off with the conservative 571 00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:45.920 therapy first. Right, So if you have you know, a gas to 572 00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:51.960 intestinal problem, it's like, okay, you don't necessarily want to do a 573 00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:58.360 biopsy right away to see if there's you know, some cancer or something. 574 00:47:58.719 --> 00:48:00.880 Biopsies can be dangerous, yeah, right, if you do a biopsy. 575 00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:05.800 Sometimes if there's let's say a cyst, and they pop the cyst and it 576 00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:09.119 is cancer. Now they spread it everywhere, So biopsy is a surgery too, 577 00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:13.480 that's not you know, without risk. I can't tell you how many 578 00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:20.239 patients we've seen where they did the biopsy and the biopsy got bursted and now 579 00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:23.360 they said it's cancer and the cancer spreading everywhere. So it was stage one 580 00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:27.440 cancer, but because they did the bioxy, now it's stage three cancer. 581 00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:32.400 Now your outcomes even worse. So it canna be very careful with all these 582 00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:37.199 testing. The mammograms. Do they really save lives? That's debatable. You 583 00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:40.280 know a lot of times the cancer so fast that even if you did it 584 00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:45.039 every year, it's not going to catch it, or the cancer so slow 585 00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:49.480 doesn't pick up anything anyway. The tests that I like are non invasive, 586 00:48:49.519 --> 00:48:52.480 so there's no risk. One of the best tests is called a VNG or 587 00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:55.519 VOG. It's where you wear these goggles and it measures all your different eye 588 00:48:55.599 --> 00:49:00.000 movements left, right, up and down, fast and slow and with life, 589 00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:01.960 and when in a dark and when that head turn and I can literally 590 00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:07.199 tell us what areas of the brain are overactive and what areas are underactive. 591 00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:10.639 This test is normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people to 592 00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:15.199 call, text or email you could get the VOG for only twenty one dollars. 593 00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:20.639 All you gotta do is call texts six four six two two one six 594 00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:27.480 seven three eight, or you can email info at kaplanbraininbody dot com.
