WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.799 The following is a paid podcast. iHeartRadio's hosting of this podcast constitutes neither an 2 00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:11.279 endorsement of the products offered or the ideas expressed. Hello, and welcome to 3 00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:17.480 boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. So right 4 00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.559 now, a lot of people are getting sick. So we want to come 5 00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:27.120 up with natural, holistic, and integrative ways to prevent getting the flu, 6 00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:33.920 prevent getting covid, prevent pneumonia. So I don't like the quote unquote flu 7 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:39.079 season. There's no such thing as a flu season. There's a winter time 8 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:44.520 where there's less vitamin D that's going to weaken your immune system. When it's 9 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:50.560 wintertime, we should be sleeping more, so people aren't going to bed earlier 10 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.600 in the winter. That's going to weeken your immune system. You should be 11 00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:00.280 drinking more water, especially with the heat dries out the rooms, so you 12 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:07.000 gotta stay more hydrated. You got to stop, you know, preventing yourself 13 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.200 from exercising. So a lot of people during the winter they stop exercising. 14 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.159 No, they can't run outside, they can't go biking or whatever it may 15 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.280 be. But you can, and you just gotta put on your hat and 16 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.719 your gloves. But I don't care if it's the winter. You still have 17 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.879 to work out, right, You have to work out, You have to 18 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:32.359 drink your water, you gotta go to bed early. You probably have to 19 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:38.000 supplement with vitamin D. If you want to prevent getting sick, you have 20 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:44.680 to do the things that help you prevent getting sick. You can't just wait 21 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.640 till you get the sniffles or a cough or a scratch. You threw on 22 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.599 the said, okay, I'm getting sick. Let me drink the water, 23 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.560 let me go to bed early and rest, and let me take my vitamin 24 00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.599 C and D. It's like, don't wait till you get sick to start 25 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:05.280 working on it. Start working on it immediately. Just like you could boost 26 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:10.479 your brain power by doing brain exercises, you could boost your immune system by 27 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.719 taking care of your immune system. Right, So we gotta have a good 28 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:21.639 diet. You want to eat all the colors of the rainbow. You got 29 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.599 to avoid all the white foods, the sugar, the dairy, the milk, 30 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.000 the cream cheese, the sour cream, and the rice, the potatoes, 31 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:34.759 the oatmeal, all the cereals and crackers and muffins and cakes and cookies 32 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:39.039 and pastries, all those Charistmas food, those milk and cookies. Stay away 33 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:46.400 from it. Highly inflammatory and if your brain is inflamed, your guts inflame, 34 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:53.919 now your immune system will not function at optimal levels. Your bacteria and 35 00:02:53.000 --> 00:03:00.360 viruses they thrive off all that bad food, all that crappy all that processed 36 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.879 food, because it stays in your system and now they could feed on it. 37 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.680 The idea is to eat food that's natural from the earth. Fruits, 38 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.680 vegetables, nots, seeds, and you know, anything you can catch if 39 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.159 you eat meat and then you eat during the day, you sleep during the 40 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:23.719 night, and you poop out everything the next morning. However, if you 41 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.599 eat a lot of processed foods, a lot of stuff with preservatives, a 42 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.800 lot of stuff in cans and boxes and bags, it's gonna get stuck in 43 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.520 your system. Now the bacteria and virus is can feed on it. If 44 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.319 you starve them, then they die. So that's why intermittent fasting is good. 45 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.960 Don't keep feeding your body all day long. It's only during the daylight 46 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.680 hours that you want to be fed. That's ten to six So idealistically, 47 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.039 you want to eat from ten am to six pm. Then you want to 48 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:59.120 sleep from ten pm to six am. In the summer, you could sleep 49 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.360 seven hours. Winter, it's better to sleep eight hours. Like we said, 50 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.879 you want to go to bed an hour earlier. So if you sleep 51 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:11.520 from eleven to six during the summer, you sleep from ten to six during 52 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:16.279 the winter. Getting those circadium rhythms right. That keeps your immune system trong. 53 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.040 If you're not well rested, then your immune system is going to be 54 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:28.720 weak. If you're in stress mode, that weakens your immune system. If 55 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:33.959 you had a bad food that a weeken your immune system. If you drink 56 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:42.720 alcohol or do drugs that all weaken your immune system. If you are up 57 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:47.720 all night and don't get a good night's sleep, that'll weaken your immune system. 58 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.519 If you're dehydrated. So there's a lot of things that will weaken your 59 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:57.199 immune system. But you got to avoid the stuff that weakens it and you 60 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.720 got to increase the stuff that strengthens it. What do we say strength is 61 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:06.279 vitamin D? Where do you get vitamin D from the sun? Every day 62 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:13.800 for twenty minutes from twelve to two during your lunch, go outside and get 63 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.279 some sunlight. Take off your glasses, take off your hat, roll up 64 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:21.720 your sleeves, roll up your pantlings. Get some contact. Let that sun 65 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.279 hit your eyes. Let the sun hit your head, your arms, your 66 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.600 legs. The more skin that exposed to the sun the better. If you 67 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.639 cannot have the means, go on a vacation, go to Florida, go 68 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.040 to Puerto Rico, go to Mexico, go to the Caribbean and the Dominican. 69 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:45.519 Go to a southern place to get your vitamin D. You need vitamin 70 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.519 D to keep your immune system strong. Almost everyone who died from COVID nineteen 71 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:57.959 was vitamin D deficient. They didn't tell you that, you know, they 72 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.720 were just focused on the vaccines and the masks. But the truth was, 73 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.920 if you really wanted to prevent it, get your vitamin D levels high. 74 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:15.399 Decrease your obesity, bring down your diabetes numbers. If you increase your vitamin 75 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:21.639 D, lose the excess fat, bring down your diabetes numbers, you're going 76 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:29.360 to decrease your chances of getting COVID nineteen. And conversely, if you don't 77 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:34.000 take care of those things, you're more likely to get it. Vitamin D 78 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:41.240 deficiency was one of the biggest correlations to people who had bad outcomes with COVID 79 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.399 nineteen, and we always known. This also bad outcomes with the flu, 80 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:55.000 with coronavirus, with pneumonia. Vitamin D is key for your immune system. 81 00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:02.720 Your immune system needs to be fed the proper hormone the nutrients. Also vitamin 82 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:09.600 C. Vitamin C is really good for the immune system. And where do 83 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:14.639 you get that? You get it from the earth. You get it from 84 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:23.439 your citrus fruits. What are those oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit. 85 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:30.040 So vitamin sea is really good for your immune system. Where else can you 86 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.279 get it? You can get it in the berries. Berries have a lot 87 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:44.680 of good vitamin C. Blue blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries. You 88 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:49.120 know, we love all the different berries. Peppers have good vitamin sea. 89 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:57.759 Broccoli, brussels sprouts, those are pretty good sources of vitamin sea. But 90 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.000 just you know, get those colors of the rain. Even tomatoes. If 91 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.160 you want some red strawberries, yus. But you can also do tomatoes. 92 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:13.000 Kiwi's also good. Cabbage is good, califlour. All of these are very 93 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:20.920 good for vitamins sick. Other vitamins that help boost your immune system is zinc. 94 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.600 The best source of zinc is oysters, but it's also in bread, 95 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:33.480 meat, chicken, Some seafood stuff like that, So those foods are really 96 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:41.679 good for zinc. Eggs even have some zinc in them as well as far 97 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.159 as fruit. Pomegranate is probably one of the best. Raspberries are also good 98 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:52.679 for zinc. You know, there's lots of lots of good foods that you 99 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.000 could eat, crab, lobster, even chickpeas or lagoons, cashews if you're 100 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:05.440 vegetarian, all good sources of zinc. All right, So if you have 101 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:11.240 good vitamin D levels, good zinc levels, good vitamin C levels, that's 102 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:20.440 going to really increase your immune system and prevent you from getting sick, you 103 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.360 know. So your immune system is the key. You don't want your immune 104 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:30.200 system overactive and you don't want your immune system underactive. Both are bad. 105 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:35.600 So if you're always fighting, that's not good, and if you don't fight 106 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.600 enough, that's not good either. Meaning you know, I'm not this type 107 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:45.279 of parent that you know, every speck of dirt that my kid touches, 108 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:50.840 oh give the purel and the antibacterial and all this anti bacterial stuff weakens your 109 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:56.320 immune system because it kills off the good bacteria. Your best defense against bad 110 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:05.320 bacteria is good bacteria. However, if you are always killing off the bacteria, 111 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.639 then when you get exposed to bad bacteria and you don't have enough good 112 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:18.440 bacteria, now your immune system is suppressed. So antibiotics here, well, 113 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:26.279 antibacterial soap, antibacterial lotions actually, in the long term are going to weaken 114 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:33.759 your immune system and make you more susceptible to get an infected by bacteria, 115 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:41.159 viruses, fungus, mold, yeast, parasites, worms. We don't want 116 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:45.159 these infections, so we need to keep our immune system strong. And then 117 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.360 when you have to clean your hand, instead of doing antibacterial, just do 118 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.480 good old soap and water like they did for all those years. Soap and 119 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.720 water is the best way to do it. And I use just an olive 120 00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.679 oil based so uh. Don't use ivory dial and all these chemical soaps. 121 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.919 You know those are really unhealthy. Keep it simple. We don't have to 122 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:11.519 complicate our health too much. Keep it super simple so your immune system is 123 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.000 strong. Stay away from all the anti bacterial stuff. Obviously, you know, 124 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:22.159 if there's a severe emergency and you're infected and you have to take antibiotics 125 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.080 on the spot to save your life, then it's important. But for chronic 126 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.600 conditions usually not the best thing because that in the long run is going to 127 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:37.039 weaken your immune system. So we want to expose our kids to bacteria. 128 00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:43.159 We want them to play in the dirt, let them touch, explore, 129 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:48.000 you know, let them be around other kids. You know, you can't 130 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.559 put them in isolation. Expect their immune system to be strong. So you've 131 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.600 got to be around dirt. You got to be around other bacteria, other 132 00:11:54.759 --> 00:12:00.519 people, other viruses. Not a lot, but you got to be around 133 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.679 a little bit to build your immumune system. Therefore, you're going to function 134 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:09.159 better, feel better, and live a better life. This is doctor Eric 135 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.840 Caplan.

Hello and welcome to 147 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:20.360 boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. There are 148 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:26.399 lots of ways to boost your immune system. To prevent the flu, to 149 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:31.639 prevent covid, coronavirus, pneumonia, you gotta make sure your immune system is 150 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.799 strong. We're all exposed to viruses and bacteria. Everyone is exposed. You 151 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:41.879 can't hide from them. That's why the isolation the quarantines don't work. It's 152 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:45.679 around, so you're always going to be around viruses, You're always going to 153 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.559 be around bacteria. The key is to control your internal environment, not the 154 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.600 germ theory, but the terrestrial theory, meaning if you take care of your 155 00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:01.759 own body, then the bacteria viruses cannot thrive. If you don't take care 156 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:07.399 of your body and you have an alkaline an acidic environment, or you're inflamed 157 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:13.320 all over the place, you got a leaky gut, then viruses, bacteria, 158 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:20.440 yeast, mold, heavy metals will take advantage of your weak areas. 159 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:31.320 So everybody gets exposed to mold. There's mold everywhere. But if your systems 160 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:37.759 are strong, you eliminate your toxins. And we have lots of ways to 161 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.799 eliminate. It could be through your bowel movements or your urination, or your 162 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:50.840 sweat, or your menstruation, or your boggers, or your ear wax or 163 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:56.279 your tears or your skin. But your body detoxes, it gets rid of 164 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.960 the bad stuff unless your systems aren't work properly, unless you can't break it 165 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.759 down. And if your systems aren't working, then the viruses and the bacteria 166 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:13.080 and the yeast and the mold and the parasites and the worms and the cancer 167 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:20.840 they'll thrive. So don't give them a good environment. Give them a bad 168 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.519 environment where they're gonna die, which is lots of oxygen. You could do 169 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:33.960 that hyper oxygen chamber we have that lots of sunlight. Go out every day 170 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.279 for twenty minutes during lunch time. Look at the sun when it rises, 171 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.559 look at the sun when it sets. The sun is your friend. Many 172 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.879 people and doctors will make you think the sun is your enemy. No, 173 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.360 it's your friend. We'd all be dead without the sun. We need the 174 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.480 sun. Some people think it's a good idea to block the sun to prevent 175 00:15:54.559 --> 00:16:00.279 global warming. That's the worst idea. It's called geoengineering. We need the 176 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:07.840 sunlight. We need it to thrive to survive. We need it. Our 177 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.440 vegetables, needed our fruit, and needed our animals needed everybody needs the sunlight. 178 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:17.480 And the worst thing for immune system is to be inside. And that's 179 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.879 what people are doing, especially in the winter. They're inside all the time. 180 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:25.240 You gotta get outside. You gotta get the sun, you gotta get 181 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:32.080 the oxygen, gotta get the exercise, gotta be a nature. It's very 182 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:34.879 important for your brain to thrive, for your immune system to thrive, to 183 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:41.919 be in nature. If you're connected with nature, your immune system will literally 184 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.879 become stronger. So you have to do grounding where you touch your feet to 185 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.200 the ground, dig in your feet to the grass, of the dirt, 186 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:55.000 of the sand. It's nothing more therapeutic than putting your feet in the ground. 187 00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:02.960 Hug a tree. Want you to field the earth. Not only do 188 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.519 you eat all the colorful fruits and vegetables, but be at one, go 189 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:12.240 in the ocean. The salt water. There's nothing better than salt water cures 190 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:18.759 everything. I got a besting. It cured beastings, I got poison ivy, 191 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.440 cured poison ivy. At acne, it cured acne. I had a 192 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.960 toe fungus, secured toe fungused. This the ocean is the best cure for 193 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:33.279 everything. My kid has an eczema. The ocean cured that. The ocean 194 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.720 water. I don't know what it is, it's the salted whatever it is. 195 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:48.559 But there's nothing better to cure your skin problems or your nail problems than 196 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:52.720 the ocean water. All right, just remember that, you know, if 197 00:17:52.759 --> 00:18:00.240 you ever get uh, poison ivy, just go in the ocean for a 198 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:07.480 couple hours. All that it shall be gone. It's pretty amazing stuff. 199 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.599 You have a cut, the ocean water might hurt. There's the salt, 200 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:17.519 but the ocean cures you. The ground cures you. The oxygen in the 201 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:22.440 air cures you. The sunlight cures you. So you have to be outside 202 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.319 in nature if you want your immune system strong, be in nature. Stop 203 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:32.119 being inside all the time. We're inside at work, then we're inside, 204 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:37.039 breakfast, we're inside, dinner, we're inside at the movie theater. They 205 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.960 were inside at the play, we're inside at the opera. Start doing activities 206 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:47.759 that are outside. You have to be an outdoors person, a nature person 207 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:55.079 to have your brain strongest and your immune system strongest. Okay, just get 208 00:18:55.079 --> 00:19:00.240 into these healthy habits. The vitamin D is key, and we get that 209 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:07.240 through our sunlight. Oxygen is key. Get that through breathing. Inhale for 210 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:12.960 four seconds, hold it for seven seconds, exhale for eight seconds. Again, 211 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.039 that's inhale for four seconds. Hold your breath for seven seconds, exhale 212 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:21.880 for eight seconds. It's gonna maximize your oxygen intake, and it's gonna get 213 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:26.599 rid of the bad carbon dioxide. It's gonna create a more alkaline environment, 214 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:33.240 and that's going to kill viruses and bacteria. They cannot live in high oxygen. 215 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:40.440 While the hyper oxygen chamber is so good, we also have an oxygen 216 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:45.279 concentrator. Instead of twenty percent oxygen, it's forty percent oxygen that you breathe. 217 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:52.400 The oxygen chamber is one hundred percent oxygen. And the more we find 218 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.359 out about these oxygen chambers, the more we realize how much it helps. 219 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.119 How else can you get o oxygen. Working on your posture. You gotta 220 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.559 have good posture. Everyone's slouching forward these days. Their shoulders are rolled in, 221 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.599 their chins down. Gotta hunchback. Start looking up. Stop looking down 222 00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:17.880 so much. At your cell phone, at your computer, at your book, 223 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:26.200 at your food, at your iPad. Everything is looking down, at 224 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:32.160 the mouse, at the paper, at your mail, your text, messages, 225 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:40.480 your social media. Everybody's looking down. Start looking up into the heavens, 226 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:45.599 into the clouds, into the sun, into the sky. Look up, 227 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:51.160 Let those sun rays touch you. Breathe, big breasts, maximize your 228 00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:56.119 oxygen. It's so much better when you inhale. Looking up. You could 229 00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:02.640 get more oxygen. If you're looking down and trying to inhale or breathe, 230 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:06.759 it's much more difficult. Practice it right now. When you look down, 231 00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:08.480 it's much harder to breathe. When you look up, it's much easier to 232 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:14.599 breathe. You get more oxygen. You gotta roll those shoulders back. You 233 00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:18.960 gotta look up. You know, every twenty minutes, if you're a job 234 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.119 where you're sitting, every twenty minutes, you get up for twenty seconds, 235 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.440 look twenty feet away, walk twenty feet do like twenty seconds or some shoulder 236 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:32.559 rolls, and then you go back down to work. But you gotta work 237 00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:37.920 on your posture. Stop slouching so much, be aware of it. You 238 00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:41.960 want your ear above your shoulder. You don't want to in front. It's 239 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:47.640 not healthy and you're not gonna get enough oxygen. You also have to breathe 240 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:49.640 from your diaphragm. Don't breathe from your shoulders. When you breathe from your 241 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.359 diaphragm, When you inhale, your belly's gonna go down and out like you're 242 00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:56.640 a pregnant woman. And when you exhale, it's that come in. It's 243 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.720 gonna squeeze all that carbon dioxide out. Give that carbon dioxide to the trees 244 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:07.799 and the veggies and the fruits, and we get the oxygen from the trees 245 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.039 and the bushes and the grass and all the green stuff. They give us 246 00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:18.240 oxygen, we give them carbon dioxide. Diafmatic breathing four seven eight breathing. 247 00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:25.559 Work on your posture. You could get plants that have high oxygen, snake 248 00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:30.400 plants, spider plants, alo vera plants, money plants. They have lots 249 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:38.720 of oxygen. Oxygen is key if you want to increase your immune system. 250 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:47.680 Viruses, bacteria they do not like oxygen that suffocates them. Parasites and worms 251 00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:53.079 they don't like it. So we gotta have high oxygen environment, high alkaline 252 00:22:53.240 --> 00:23:00.559 environment, low inflammation, low acidity, low carbon dioxide. That's going to 253 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:10.240 maximize your potential. All right, So we got the sun, we got 254 00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:15.119 the oxygen. Right, what about your immune system. You gotta look at 255 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:21.160 what's called your white blood cells. Your white blood cells is your immune system. 256 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.119 Your red blood cells that helps, you know, with your oxygen transportation, 257 00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:29.880 that's the hemoglobein Those are more related to anemias. The white blood cells, 258 00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.559 that's your immune system. There's different types. There's neutrophills that help fight 259 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:41.119 bacteria. There's the lymphocytes they help fight viruses. There's the eosinophils help fight 260 00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.200 the allergies. And there's other ones, these monocytes, those basophills. They 261 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:51.920 all have different you know, strategies and ways to protect your own body. 262 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.319 So we got to look at the blood work and see how your immune system 263 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:59.279 is. Your white blood cell count should be from about five to eight. 264 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:03.000 You know, most doctors, you know, they don't care if it's you 265 00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.079 know, their range is more like three to eleven, but we like ours 266 00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.880 and our patients to be five to eight. You don't want to compare yourself 267 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.759 to typical American. You got to compare yourself to healthy people. So you 268 00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:17.640 want a healthy white blood cell account, we want five to eight. If 269 00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:22.640 it's too much, that means you have an active infection. If it's too 270 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:27.440 little, that means you have a chronic infection. And if there's high neutra 271 00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:33.960 fills that's a bacteria. There's high lymphocyites, that's a viral infection. And 272 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:38.319 if there's high eosinophils, that means you have allergies. So we look at 273 00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:41.640 your blood work and we analyze it. That's what we do at Our office 274 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.599 is at Caplan Brain and Body.

A lot of people are sick right now. You 297 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.200 don't have to be sick. If you do what everyone else does, he'll 298 00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:41.720 be sick. Who stays out late, goes to all these parties, drinking 299 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:49.279 more alcohol, eating more cookies, sleeping less, drinking less water, exercising 300 00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:56.559 less, more stress, more emotional problems. Of course you're gonna get sick. 301 00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:03.279 Of course immune system is going to be weak. You want to be 302 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.319 strong. You got to do different things. Don't follow what everyone else does. 303 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.200 You gotta be that one percent. Don't be the ninety nine percent. 304 00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:18.279 Don't do what everyone else does. Staying out late, Christmas parties, boozing 305 00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.839 cookies, a lot of stress, always going to the mall, shopping, 306 00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:30.680 preparing meals, having all his family, over going all these added responsibilities, 307 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.640 trying to do the end of the week, under the year, stuff for 308 00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.880 work. If you take on too much, you're gonna get sick. The 309 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:42.559 holiday should not be stressful, they should be relaxed, should be calm, 310 00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:49.319 be about family and love. That's so materialistic. You know my family, 311 00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:53.400 luckily, you know when we became adults, we just said we used logic. 312 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.640 We say, hey, listen, why do we have to buy each 313 00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.880 other presents for the holidays. We're all adults. We want something, we 314 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:06.200 can get it, so we don't need I don't need to buy my brother's 315 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.400 presents, my parents, presidents, my aunts and cousins and uncles, and 316 00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:14.119 you know, they could get their own stuff. They don't need to get 317 00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:17.240 me anything. I could get my own stuff. You know. It's fun, 318 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:19.160 you know, to get the little kids stuff like that, but for 319 00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:23.599 adults, it's unnecessary. Right, we don't have to have these big, 320 00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:30.599 extravagant meals and so many people and so many fancy dishes, just about having 321 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:34.400 family, having fun, having some laps. Everyone's too serious these days. 322 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.359 Laughter is the best medicine. You want to boost your immune system, turn 323 00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:51.440 off the news and watch something funny. The news will weaken your immune system. 324 00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:59.400 A comedy will strengthen your immune system. Being isolated will weaken your immune 325 00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:06.640 system. Being social will strengthen your immune system. Drinking alcohol will weaken it. 326 00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:11.960 Being sober will strengthen it. Being dehydrated will weaken it. Drinking lots 327 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:22.440 of water with salt in it will strengthen your immune system. Staying inside will 328 00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.960 weaken it. Going outside will strengthen it. There's simple rules, there's simple 329 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:32.880 suggestions that I would recommend you following, and if you do, you will 330 00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:37.440 start to notice that you will get less and less sick. I used to 331 00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:40.519 be sick all the time when I was a kid. I was one of 332 00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:48.079 I was sick all the time. I had chronic bronchitis, couldn't breathe every 333 00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.960 winter. They put me on steroids and antibiotics, and that made me even 334 00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:56.839 more sick. That made me nauseous and I would throw up, get brain 335 00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:03.440 fog. I had bad actne. I was obese until I started going to 336 00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:08.440 health seminars. The first thing I did was quit dairy. After I quit 337 00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:15.160 dairy, my bronchitis was cured. I got off the steroids, I got 338 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:21.759 off the antibiotics, and I didn't need the medicine. And at that point 339 00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:27.920 I realized that I don't need medicine to cure my diseases or conditions. Everything 340 00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:34.400 is reversible if you take care of your body. The power that made the 341 00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:41.599 body heals the body. But you only get one body, so make sure 342 00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:48.160 you feed it the best nutrients. All those colorful fruits and vegetables. Stay 343 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.519 away from the white foods, the dairy, the sugar, the flour, 344 00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:59.160 the bread, the cookies, the cakes, the crackers, the cereals, 345 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:06.559 the right, the potatoes. Stay away from all the white foods and eat 346 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:12.839 all the colorful foods that'll strengthen your immune system. Eat a lot of foods 347 00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:26.880 that have antioxidants, very important. We want to make sure that we have 348 00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:33.240 all the proper nutrients that we need, and you don't get it through vitamins. 349 00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.480 All these patients they take all these multi vitains. What you don't need 350 00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:41.160 a multi vitamin. You're in America. You're not deficient in all these vitamins 351 00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:45.559 unless you have poor absorption. If you have poor absorption, you're not gonna 352 00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:53.400 absorb the vitamins anyway. So you gotta work on the absorption. So if 353 00:31:53.400 --> 00:32:02.119 you're anemic, right, it's not because you're not eating enough iron. Everybody 354 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:07.839 gets enough iron from their food, everybody in America. You're not in some 355 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:13.440 third world country. You know, I'm Venezuela where people are starving to death. 356 00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:21.839 You're in America. The homeless have food here in America. But if 357 00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:27.480 you're absorbing your food, then you're not going to get your nutrients. Then 358 00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:31.519 your immune system is going to be weak if you have poor absorption or they 359 00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:37.880 have low stomach acid. Hydrochloric acid, and guess what your hydrochloric acid does. 360 00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:44.279 That's your first defense in your immune system because it kills off all the 361 00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:51.640 viruses in the bacteria that enter through your mouth. So most of these viruses, 362 00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:53.720 right, you know, you get it from touching your mouth or your 363 00:32:53.759 --> 00:33:00.759 nose. Then you swallow, it goes into your stomach. Now, if 364 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:09.440 you have an inflamed stomach, now the viruses in bacteria can escape and they 365 00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:15.039 get into the blood stream and they can attack your lungs. It's like me, 366 00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:21.400 I had bronchitis. Or they can attack your bladder. You get urinary 367 00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:35.319 tract infections, or your gut you get colitis or gastritis or sebo small intestinal 368 00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:44.160 bacterial overgrowth where it gets on your skin, you get herpes or hives, 369 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:52.799 you go to your brain. It cause Alzheimer's, Parkinson's MS. You don't 370 00:33:52.799 --> 00:34:00.680 want these bacteria and viruses escaping your stomach, getting into the bloodstream and then 371 00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:06.599 attacking other organs. That is not fun. We do not want that. 372 00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:09.880 We got to prevent that. So your first step to prevent that to keep 373 00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:17.800 your immune system strong is to keep your inflammation down. The best two ways 374 00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:30.000 to keep your inflammation down outside of eating all the correct foods, is resveratrol, 375 00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:37.079 which can be found in the skin of red grapes as well as Japanese 376 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:44.159 not weed. That brings down inflammation as well as anti aging. The best 377 00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:47.880 product is resvero from Apex Energetics. You call my office, I can give 378 00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:53.679 you information about that. But you're not gonna be able to drink wine, 379 00:34:53.840 --> 00:35:00.559 red wine and get your resveratrol that way. You know the amount of wine 380 00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:07.119 you'd have to drink to get the proper amount of his veratrol. It's not 381 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:10.719 worth the risk of drinking all that alcohol, which kills brain cells. So 382 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.159 that's why people think red wine is healthy because there is veratrol. No red 383 00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:22.559 wine is not healthy. Causes acid reflux. Coffee and red wine are the 384 00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:29.039 two biggest causes of acid reflux. And people get put on and acids. 385 00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:36.280 Now they have less stomach acid, less hydrochloric acid tombs, roll aids, 386 00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:40.920 those you know, uh prescription pills, the n acids. It's going to 387 00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:46.559 decrease stomach acid. Now your immune system is going to be weaker. Even 388 00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:50.880 if you don't have the leaky gut with a virus's escape. Let's say if 389 00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:55.199 it's contained, but now you don't have enough stomach acid. Now your bacteria 390 00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:02.519 and viruses can thrive, especially if you've have poor digestion. You know a 391 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:08.239 lot of people have twenty to thirty pounds of fecal matter stuck in their intestines. 392 00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:15.199 I literally feel all this fecal matter all the time. And if you 393 00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:20.440 have, if you have poop stuck in your intestines, then these viruses and 394 00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:24.760 bacterium, parasites and worms can feed on it. You're giving them the food 395 00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:30.119 that they need. So you've got to have good digestion. And if you 396 00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:36.519 don't have stomach acid, if you ever take an acids and you're gonna be 397 00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:40.119 in trouble, you might have to supplement with hydrochloric acid. The way we 398 00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:45.599 would know that is we check your blood work and you could see if the 399 00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:52.519 proteins are off, the albumin, the globulin, the ag ratios, look 400 00:36:52.559 --> 00:37:00.760 at there's inflammation, crpes, R homocysteine, look at tho's anemias, iron 401 00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:06.400 B twelve ferretin, folate blood ways. You could kind of analyze the blood 402 00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:08.880 work and get an idea of what's going on. Is there inflammation, is 403 00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:13.519 there a leaky gut? Do we not have enough stomach acid? How's your 404 00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:15.639 white blood cells? Are they too high? Are they too low? Which 405 00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.079 type of blood cells are too high? Is it the neutrophils, the lymphocytes 406 00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:23.639 that you sinophils do We got to worry about the virus, bacteria, allergies, 407 00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:28.960 what is going on, a lot of that can be explained in blood 408 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:36.639 work. And what we have to do is check your blood work, analyze 409 00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:39.079 it and see where your levels are. But compare you to healthy people, 410 00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:45.599 not a typical American. You got to be that one percent. So you 411 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:51.480 got to analyze the blood work. We got to analyze everything. Look at 412 00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:55.679 your blood pressure, your oxygen. You know, we do these evaluations at 413 00:37:55.719 --> 00:37:59.960 our office where we look at the blood work.

Welcome back to boost your brain power. I'm your 440 00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:19.119 host, doctor Eric Kaplan. So we're talking about how to keep your immune 441 00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:25.199 system strong. There are so many good strategies to do. One good strategy 442 00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:32.400 is getting your stress levels down. Okay, there's too much stress right now. 443 00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:39.039 When your stress levels are high, your immune system is low. If 444 00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:45.639 your nervous system is overactive, and we see a lot of these patients anxiety 445 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:52.599 minds were racing all the time, all these negative thoughts, trouble sleeping, 446 00:40:53.519 --> 00:41:00.679 all this muscle tension, neck pain, back pain. We call this fight 447 00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:05.199 or flight mode. And when you're in this fight or flight mode, your 448 00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:12.039 nervous system's overstimulated. Your body gets inflamed, your muscle spasms, your nerves 449 00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:20.119 get compressed. Everything's overactive, including the immune system. Because if the immune 450 00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:24.000 system gets overactive, and it's always fighting. It's fighting everything you put in 451 00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:31.440 your body. Then when you are exposed to a virus or a bacteria or 452 00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:37.280 mold or yeast or parasite or worm, because you've been fighting for so long, 453 00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:42.599 now you don't have enough white blood cells to fight. There's no more 454 00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:49.159 troops in your army. You've exhausted everything. Get a drenal fatigue now. 455 00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:57.800 That makes you more susceptible to being sick. That is not good. These 456 00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:02.320 white blood cell counts too low good. Remember we said if it's too high, 457 00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:07.039 it's an active infection. If it's too low, it's chronic infection. 458 00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:10.000 I've been fighting a long time. We see this all the time. We've 459 00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:21.480 had people still haven't recovered from COVID nineteen four years ago, right, So 460 00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:24.800 if you don't beat it, it could still be in your body. I 461 00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:32.559 have people that have had line disease for years, for a dozen years, 462 00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:43.480 they're still fighting it. So it doesn't mean that you need always have an 463 00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:50.000 active infection, but there could be chronic infections that occurs a lot. A 464 00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:53.280 lot of people have these epstein Bar viruses. They're just they're in their system, 465 00:42:53.440 --> 00:43:01.639 or E. Coli or H Pylori, coronavirus, all these viruses and 466 00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:07.679 bacteria that could be dormant. You don't even realize it. And then when 467 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:13.760 you get in stress mode, now they're opportunistic. Now they start to take 468 00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:17.519 over. So you got to get out of stress mode. Maybe practice some 469 00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:22.920 meditation. And if you can't meditate for a long time because your brain is 470 00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:25.960 all stressed out, and you just do it for thirty seconds. I call 471 00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:31.559 it the relax technique. You just start at the top of your head and 472 00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:37.360 you think internally, say relax, and just imagine the muscles of your head 473 00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:42.679 melting. And then you go to your forehead relax, and all the forehead 474 00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:46.639 muscles relax, and then your temples relax, and all the temporal muscles relax, 475 00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:51.079 and then your jaw relax, and then the jaw relaxes, and then 476 00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:54.039 your eyes relax, and then your nose, and you go to everybody part, 477 00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:58.119 just thirty different body parts, from the top of your head all the 478 00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:01.079 way down to your toes, just saying to relax to each body part. 479 00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:07.360 That's a meditation, a thirty second meditation. You do that for a couple 480 00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:08.239 of days in a row, and then hey, let me pump it up 481 00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:12.519 to a minute, and then I'll do two minutes and then three minutes. 482 00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:16.159 Make these little tiny habits, but over and over and over again, but 483 00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:22.599 create consistency. So meditation is a good thing. Mindfulness that's just being in 484 00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:27.599 the moment, doing one thing at a time. When you're eating dinner with 485 00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:31.599 your family, just be eating dinner. Don't have the TV on the radio 486 00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:37.360 on. Don't anybody on their cell phones. When you're at the gym, 487 00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:42.920 be in gym mode. Be texting anybody. Don't be chatting with your friends. 488 00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:47.679 You're working out when you're in school or you're studying, being study mode. 489 00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:52.320 When you're at work, be a work mode. When you're on a 490 00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:59.800 date, be on date mode. Don't mix and match. Mindfulness is focusing 491 00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:05.320 on one thing at a time, which is what you're currently doing. When 492 00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:10.119 you're doing grounding, focus on your grounding. When you're cooking dinner, focus 493 00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:19.840 just on cooking. Now, there's nothing wrong with, you know, multitasking. 494 00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:22.800 Like you know, when I'm driving to work in the city and I'm 495 00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:27.800 on my commute and I'm stuck in traffic, I'm gonna put on a podcast 496 00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:30.639 or an audible book. I call it car one. Oh, one. 497 00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:37.599 So that's just being smart. Right. So I'm listening to an audible book 498 00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:44.280 while I'm stuck in traffic, so I'm not wasting that time. But I'm 499 00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:46.880 not going to listen to the audible book when I'm at dinner when I should 500 00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:51.800 be talking to my kids and wife about you know, their you know, 501 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:55.599 fun times and good events that occurred in their day. So that way, 502 00:45:55.639 --> 00:46:00.519 I'm in family mode, not in you know, book mode. While I'm 503 00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:07.000 driving or when you're working out, you can listen to some music. Put 504 00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:10.440 on some rocky music that gets you pumped up. Nothing wrong with that, 505 00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.840 you know. I have to listen to music in the shower, sing in 506 00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:21.639 the shower, and I do exercises to relax my nervous system in the shower. 507 00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:25.199 You could do gargling as an exercise that will relax your nervous system. 508 00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:29.000 So while you're in the shower, just get a bunch of water and go 509 00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:32.840 like really loud. The loudest gargle you can imagine stimulates which called your vagus 510 00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:37.519 nerve, which is gonna get you out of that stress mode and that fight 511 00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:43.039 or flight more into relaxed rest than digestate. Now, at the end of 512 00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:45.159 the shower, turn it all the way to cold as cold as it goes, 513 00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:50.280 and let that cold water go all over your face just for thirty seconds. 514 00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:54.000 That also will relax your nervous system. It's a great way to start 515 00:46:54.039 --> 00:47:00.800 today. So you can do neurologic exercises that relax your nervous system while you're 516 00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:07.840 in your just shower every morning. Pretty cool right now, But how do 517 00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:13.880 you know if your nervous system is stressed out? You got to analyze your 518 00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:19.840 brain. The best test to analyze your brain is called a qEEG brain mapping, 519 00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:25.639 and the qEEG brain mapping measures all your different brain waves. Your alpha 520 00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:30.960 brain waves, which is how we are normally, your beta when you have 521 00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:36.280 to really think you're taking a test or you're doing a presentation. Your Theta 522 00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:39.840 brain wave that's when you're just kind of daydreaming. Then you're delta that's when 523 00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:47.320 you're sleeping. So it measures all your different brain waves and based on the 524 00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:53.599 location of the abnormal brain waves, this qEEG brain mapping will tell us where 525 00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:59.800 the problems are in your brain. Do you have memory problems, working memories 526 00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:05.480 memory, long term sequential memory problems. Do you have problems with focus? 527 00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:13.079 Motivation, organization planning. Do you have troubles with anxiety depression? Do you 528 00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:17.960 have white matter inflammation? Do you have low dopamine or acetylcholine? Do you 529 00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:22.960 have heavy metal poisoning? If you had a concussion. Do you have intestinal 530 00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:27.920 inflammation? You have a thyroid problem? Do you have difficulty shifting tests? 531 00:48:28.199 --> 00:48:32.239 Problems with your eyes or ears? Sensory balance? Do you have problems with 532 00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:40.280 anger, aggression, panic, worry? Do you have toxic stress? It 533 00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:45.840 literally breaks down all the different areas. Do you have low energy, sleeping 534 00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:53.920 problems, insomnia? It's really cool test. It's non invasive, there's no 535 00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:57.920 radiation, you don't have to sit in some tube, you don't have to 536 00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:01.880 take any contrast fluid. It's super quick, twenty minutes to a half hour 537 00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:07.519 at most. All you gotta do is wear the swimmers cap and you just 538 00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:12.840 got to sit still for a little bit. It's normally five hundred dollars, 539 00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:15.320 but for the first seven people that call, text or email, you can 540 00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:22.679 get the entire QEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. All you have 541 00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:27.880 to do is callerr text six four six two two one six seven three eight, 542 00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:36.119 or you can email info at kaplanbrainebody dot com. There's another test called 543 00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:42.800 the VNG Video nstography, and for this is you wear these goggles. They're 544 00:49:42.840 --> 00:49:50.079 like infrared goggles. And this test is great for especially neurological disorders bipolar, 545 00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:59.679 manic depress and schizophrenia, add ADHD, dyslexia, Turette's, Parkinson, stro 546 00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:06.360 Alzheimer's. This tells us the balance of right to left, which areas are 547 00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:09.079 overactive, which areas are underactive. It breaks down all the different lobes of 548 00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:13.719 the brain, the frontal core, text, the parietal, the eccipital, 549 00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:17.880 the temporal, the cerebellum, the different brain stem parts, so it literally 550 00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:23.360 breaks down each area tells us the difference from right to left ups and downs 551 00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:29.880 and which are under and which are over So it's very valuable information because with 552 00:50:29.960 --> 00:50:32.920 that we want to do a process called neuroplasticity where we rewire the brain. 553 00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:37.639 But we got to figure out which exact areas are overactive, which we've got 554 00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:42.679 to calm down, and which areas are underactive, which we have to stimulate. 555 00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:46.159 So the VNG test is best for that, and that test is normally 556 00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:50.679 five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people that call text or email. 557 00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:53.360 You can get that test for twenty one dollars as well, and if 558 00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:55.880 you want, you could do all three tests. You could do the one 559 00:50:55.880 --> 00:51:00.239 on one evaluation with me, the forty five minute tests only twenty one dollars. 560 00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:06.159 You could do the qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars, and 561 00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:09.519 you could do the VNG to figure out the imbalance is from left to right 562 00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:14.599 for only twenty one dollars as well. You could do all three the same 563 00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:16.880 day. All you have to do is be one of the first seven people 564 00:51:17.199 --> 00:51:22.719 to call, text or email. The phone number six four six two two 565 00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:30.079 one six seven three eight and the email is info at Kaplan brainebody dot com. 566 00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:35.840 If you're interested in my recommendations, you can also get my book on 567 00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:40.719 Amazon.
