Hello, and welcome to 3 00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:16.800 boost your brain Power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. Okay, 4 00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:23.480 this week we're going to be talking about mastering nutrition. Nutrition is very important. 5 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:31.440 Almost all diseases can come down to proper nutrition. The most common disease 6 00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:38.159 that kills most Americans is heart disease. And we're dealing with heart disease, 7 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:44.280 we have to look at what's called metabolic syndrome. When a patient has metabolic 8 00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:50.119 syndrome, what that means is they have too many tests that are at arrange. 9 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:57.960 The tests include high triglycerides. Triglycerides are fat, and we want a 10 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:03.319 lot of fat in our diet. But we want healthy fat, all right. 11 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:10.200 If we have unhealthy fat, your triglycerides mego too high. The fat 12 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:15.799 of you know, steak and meat, that's not healthy fat. So if 13 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.079 we're getting meat, we want to get lean meat. We want to get 14 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:26.599 our fats from the omega threes, the fish oils, we want to get 15 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.920 it from some amocado. We want to get it from olives, from walnuts 16 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:40.879 from seeds, coconut oil. These are the healthy fats. We don't want 17 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.840 the trans fat like the ones you find in the potato chips, and you 18 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:52.879 know the cookies and the muffins that will lead to heart disease. We want 19 00:01:52.920 --> 00:02:00.680 to really stay away from all those inflammatory foods. The big inflammatory foods sugar, 20 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:08.960 dairy, gluten, corn, soy, coffee, and alcohol. Those 21 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:16.680 cause the most inflammation. Now with certain people, they might be sensitive to 22 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:29.599 night shades. Nightshades are tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, potatoes, So some 23 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:36.360 people get inflamed when they eat those nightshades. There are other people where they're 24 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.960 appropriate. For instance, we see a lot of patients with Parkinson's disease. 25 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:49.599 When you have Parkinson's disease, you want to increase nicotine, not smoke cigarettes, 26 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:55.159 but many foods have nicotine in them. Those foods are the nightshades. 27 00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:02.680 So if you do have Parkinson's, you actually want to have tomatoes and peppers 28 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:08.280 and potatoes and eggplant, but not necessarily eat all the seeds, because that's 29 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:13.280 what people can respond to. I have the tomatoes, take out the seeds, 30 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.240 the peppers take out the seeds. Those are called night shates. So 31 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:23.120 some people are sensitive to those. Some people are sensitive to lectins. We 32 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:29.319 find them in some nuts and beans and stuff like that. Some people are 33 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:38.039 sensitive to eggs. Actually, so not everybody's the same, but most people 34 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:46.599 shouldn't eat dairy, gluten, corn, soy, sugar, coffee, alcohol. 35 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:52.039 That is generally speaking, And then as we get more specific, we 36 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:57.840 might have patients stay away from these nightshades or these lectins, all right, 37 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:03.719 they can be inflammatory and cause more problems in your leaky gut. Now, 38 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:09.879 what's a leaky gut. If you have improper nutrition, you can get gut 39 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.759 inflammation. When you have gut inflammation, you get what's called a leaky gut 40 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.560 and a leaky gut. What happens is when you have too much inflammation, 41 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:27.000 you have these holes that become too big, and therefore viruses, bacteria, 42 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:34.360 mold, anything, worms, parasites, anything that's not too healthy for you 43 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:41.800 that's supposed to be killed off by your stomach acid or eliminated through your bowel 44 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.720 movements. Now, due to the high inflammation in your body, can escape 45 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:55.720 your intestinal lining, enter the bloodstream and then attack other areas of your body. 46 00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:03.360 That's how people are getting basically brain fog from lyme disease or COVID nineteen 47 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:12.519 or epsteam bar. There's all these viruses and bacteria that are normally taken care 48 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.079 of by your immune system. But when you have a leaky gut enter the 49 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:21.519 bloodstream and start attacking other organs, we obviously do not want to have a 50 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:27.360 leaky gut if you have poor nutrition and a lot of inflammation, that's one 51 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.680 of the things that can happen, all right, So to heal the leaking 52 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.879 get we spoke about this before. There's four phases. The first phase is 53 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:43.360 reducing inflammation. We could do that through risveratrol. That's the best anti inflammatory 54 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:49.720 and anti aging. Risveratrol comes from Japanese notweed and the skin of red grapes. 55 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:57.279 So what we want to do is bring down the inflammation by increasing risveratrol. 56 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:04.480 We also want to increase too. Mac right tumeric also reduces inflammation. 57 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:15.240 Rosemary reduces inflammation. In fact, rosemary not only reduces inflammation, but it 58 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:23.519 can actually grow hairback. I have patients that actually grow hair back from taking 59 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:30.879 rosemary every day. Cammel, you'd make a cameomel tea much better for reducing 60 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:44.720 inflammation. Coffee causes inflammation. Camomeal tea reduces inflammation. Ginger ginger also reduces 61 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.800 inflammation. You could eat ginger, you could put ginger in your food, 62 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.639 you can make a ginger tea, you could put ginger in your smoothie. 63 00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:04.399 Ginger is one of the best natural anti inflammatories. Omega threes. These are 64 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:12.120 those healthy fat that's also going to help bring down inflammation. There's so many 65 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:17.639 things you could do to reduce inflammation and decrease your chances of leaky gut. 66 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:26.680 In addition to reducing inflammation, for that first stage of leaky gut, we 67 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:32.000 also want to have probiotics that's going to improve your gut microbiome. If you 68 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.759 have good probiotics, you're going to have less leaky gut, better digestion. 69 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:46.519 So what we want to do is make sure that we bring down that inflammation 70 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:58.800 by not eating inflammatory foods, bring down that inflammation by increasing anti inflammatory foods 71 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:05.279 that will bring down your leaky gut in the beginning of your first stage of 72 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:13.639 the program. The second phase after reducing inflammation, is to plug in the 73 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.040 leaky gut. If we try and plug in the leaky gut before the inflammation 74 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.480 is down, then the job is too hard. The way we plug it 75 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.720 up is through something called glutamine, and we could do that through a natural 76 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.759 shake like a health shake, one of those health shakes that people drink in 77 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.360 the morning. Well, we could do it to plug in a leaky gut. 78 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:45.559 That's only after we reduce the inflammation. The third phase. After we 79 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:52.639 plug in the leaky gut with the shake of the main ingredient glutamine, what 80 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.039 we want to do is now kill off all the bad stuff. And we 81 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.840 could do this with herbal remedies, anti viral remedies, antibacterial remedies, anti 82 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:13.480 yesede, herbal remedies and die worms and parasites. I call it the atomic 83 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.320 bomb. After we reduce the inflammation plugging the leaky gut, now we could 84 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.000 take herbal remedies to kill all the bad stuff. That's the third phase. 85 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.360 And the fourth phase is a cleanse where you cleanse your liver, you cleanse 86 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.919 your intestines, blush everything out. A lot of people try to do this 87 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:39.879 detox as your first phase. You can't detox before you reduce the inflammation, 88 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.120 plugging the leaky gut and kill off all the bad stuff. So we have 89 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:48.639 to do all four things to remedy the leaky gut, because guess what, 90 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.440 if you have a leaky gut, then you might have a leaky brain. 91 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.360 And what that means a leaky brain is that the bad stuff can leak into 92 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:05.000 the brain and start attacking your own brain, and that can affect memory, 93 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:13.240 energy, sleep, depression, anxiety, brain fog, troubles with focus, 94 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:22.480 anger, aggression. These are all signs of a leaky gut and a leaky 95 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:30.600 brain. Some people even link this to Alzheimer's disease, where foreign substances are 96 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:35.759 getting into your brain. Whether it's a virus, a bacteria, heavy metals, 97 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:46.879 these things can enter our brain and attack healthy brain cells. You have 98 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:54.159 lime disease, epstein bar virus, herpes, COVID nineteen, bardinella, mold 99 00:10:54.200 --> 00:11:03.399 exposure, heavy metal poisoning. They can all affect leaky gut and leaky brain. 100 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.120 I don't know about you, but I want to make sure I don't 101 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.919 have inflammation and I can't get these viruses or bacteria that are attacking my brain 102 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:20.679 because we're always going to be exposed to viruses and bacteria. Can't hide at 103 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:28.279 home expecting you know, your body to just avoid viruses and bacteria. They're 104 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:33.080 going to be exposed all around. But what we want to do is make 105 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:39.600 your immune systems strong. What we want to do is reduce your inflammation. 106 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:48.639 If we could bring down your acidity in your environment and make your environment more 107 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:56.200 alkaline, make sure you have more oxygen, less carbon dioxide. Make sure 108 00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:03.840 you have enough water and hydration. Make sure you reduce your stress levels and 109 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:11.919 get the proper sleep. All this is important in reducing inflammation, preventing leaky 110 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:18.879 gut and leaky brain. More when we come back from the brain, if 111 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.519 you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, 112 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.159 digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, 113 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:31.399 headaches, brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your human 114 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.200 potential and prevent future diseases, that this is the show for you. Don't 115 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:41.279 misboost your brain power with doctor Eric Kaplan and you will learn natural, integrative 116 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.360 and holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, 117 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:52.080 autism, add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migrains 118 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:58.039 for posture, pain, TBI, skin and digestive problems.

To 121 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.120 contact to doctor Kaplin, you can call this team at two O one two 122 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:16.000 six one two one five zero or visit his website at Kaplan dc dot com. 123 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:22.080 Welcome back to boost your brain power. I am your host, doctor 124 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:28.200 Eric Kaplan. We're talking about proper nutrition because if we don't have proper nutrition, 125 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.440 we're going to get inflammation that's going to lead to leaky gut and a 126 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:39.519 leaky brain. So if we want to make nutrition really simple, to get 127 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:46.480 all your nutrients, you have to eat each color of the rainbow, something 128 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:54.120 that's red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple every single 129 00:13:54.240 --> 00:14:00.159 day. If you want to master nutrition, you have to eat eat each 130 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.600 color of the rainbow every single day. And if you really want to master 131 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:09.759 nutrition, you eat each color of the rainbow every single meal. Okay, 132 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:16.039 and it could be all just fruits and vegetables. You'll get all your nutrients 133 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:22.919 from fruits and vegetables. And if you're not getting near nutrients, what you 134 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:28.120 want to do is check your blood work. If you want to master nutrition, 135 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.000 you're gonna be on top of your blood work. You gotta see do 136 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.600 you have anemia, Do you have a thyroid problem, do you vitamin D 137 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:43.080 deficiency? Do you have magnesium deficiency, zinc deficiency B twelve? Fully, 138 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.759 maybe you don't have enough stomach acid. If you don't have enough stomach acid, 139 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.960 then you're not going to absorb your nutrients properly. Most people who are 140 00:14:54.200 --> 00:15:01.480 anemic, it's not that they're not eating the foods proper it's they're not absorbing 141 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:11.919 they're nutrients. It's very hard in America to be nutrient deficiency. There's so 142 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:20.799 much food and most people overeat. This is not a third world country where 143 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:28.080 most people, you know, can suffer from rickets or vitamin D deficiency or 144 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:35.360 scurvy, vitamin C deficiency, certain anemias. You know, a lot of 145 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:45.360 the stuff that we see our absorption issues, digestive issues, they're not necessarily 146 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:52.879 deficiencies and vitamins. So people are going around taking ten to twenty vitamins a 147 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.720 day. This isn't the Jetsons where we just want to eat our food in 148 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:03.000 pill form. We have real food, and if you're not growing it on 149 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:08.039 your own, you could go to a farmer's market or the supermarket. You 150 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:12.519 go to the supermarket. If you want to master nutrition, you only buy 151 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:18.279 foods on the outside of the supermarket. All the crappy stuff is on the 152 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.759 inside, and the aisles and the boxes and the cans and the bags, 153 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:29.759 and the packaging and the preservatives and the food dies, and you know, 154 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.559 all this stuff that they add into the food to make it taste good, 155 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:42.159 look good, smell good, lasts longer. So even though it might look 156 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:47.279 good, your food might look bigger, might have more color, and it 157 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:52.159 might last longer. There might be preservatives and food dies. You got to 158 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:57.720 be careful of all these chemicals that are added, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, 159 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:06.400 artificial collering. Don't buy fool don't be fooled by some of these companies 160 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:11.079 that say it's all natural when it's really artificial. You got to start reading 161 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:18.359 ingredients. Don't read the label on the outside. You have to read the 162 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:25.000 ingredients. The labels on the outside are marketing gimmicks. They say, oh, 163 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:30.759 this is gluten free. If you want to be really healthy and really 164 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:36.279 nutritious, not only are you going to avoid gluten, which is found in 165 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:42.319 wheat, rye, and barley. So that's where gluten's found. You want 166 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:48.839 to avoid gluten, but you also want to avoid gluten free. So just 167 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.160 because it's gluten free doesn't it make it's healthy. In fact, if it's 168 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:59.000 gluten free, it's probably unhealthy. You don't see gluten free spinach. You 169 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:08.279 don't see gluten free blueberries because those are automatically gluten free and they don't have 170 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:15.799 to market them as gluten free. People know that they're healthy. So stay 171 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:23.559 away from gluten, Stay away from gluten free products, Stay away from fat 172 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:33.079 free products. They're fat free, then they're probably full of sugar. Back 173 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:44.400 in the twentieth century, as sugar was making people addicted to their product and 174 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:52.480 people were getting obese and diabetes and heart disease, cancer. You want to 175 00:18:52.480 --> 00:19:00.759 avoid cancer, you avoid sugar. Answer loves sugar. Sugars more addictive than 176 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:06.920 cocaine. They did research with rats and literally found the rats would choose sugar 177 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:18.880 over cocaine. Sugar is inflammatory. Now sugar is so bad that they had 178 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.720 to come up with an enemy to blame for all these health problems that were 179 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:30.119 occurring in America. And what they did was blame fat. And they said 180 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:41.119 fat is evil and fat causes cholesterol. And heart attacks and strokes, and 181 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.720 they said, we got to reduce the fat. We got to put everybody 182 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:52.359 on these statins. Stating drugs, which are you know, given to reduce 183 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.000 cholesterol, can cause a lot of joint pain. If you have a lot 184 00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.920 of joint pain and you're taking statin drugs, it might be a side effect. 185 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:07.039 They've even linked it to a cause of dementia. So if you notice 186 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.880 your brain isn't functioning as good as it used to and you've taken statins, 187 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:22.839 statins can cause brain dysfunction. But it's the most prescribed drug. Lipator is 188 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:27.920 the most prescribed drug. These statins are prescribed more than any other drug because 189 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:37.519 it's the old model of thinking. Bring down your cholesterol. However, cholesterol 190 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.599 is good, especially what's called your HDL cholesterol. It's a good cholesterol. 191 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:51.119 Your best defense against bad cholesterol is good cholesterol. So we don't really care 192 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:56.319 about the total cholesterol being over two hundred in your blood work, but we 193 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:04.200 look at the ratio. If you're over two hundred, but your HDL is 194 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:11.400 a hundred and your LDL is one hundred and twenty, so your total is 195 00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:17.240 two twenty, that's actually good. You have a great ratio. So if 196 00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:19.599 I saw that, say, hey, your cholesterol is pretty good, you 197 00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:27.200 don't want to take statins, especially if your inflammatory markers are down. Is 198 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:32.279 that what makes you more prone to the heart attack and the stroke. Your 199 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:38.440 inflammatory markers in your blood work are called CRP and E s R. We 200 00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:45.000 want them really low. We want our CRP even less than point three. 201 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:56.079 We want our E s R down closer to zero. If it's above you 202 00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:03.839 know, fifteen twenty way too high. It's above ten, that's even too 203 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.440 high. We got to be careful. If our ESR are high, our 204 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:15.799 CRP are high, we have high triglycerides, which are the fat, we 205 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:22.720 have high cholesterol, and if we have high diabetes numbers which are found in 206 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:30.640 fasting glucose and hemoglobin A one C in your blood work, So that is 207 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:37.000 called a metabolic syndrome. If your glucosis high, your hemoglobin A one c 208 00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:42.960 is high, your cholesterol is high, triglycerides are high, your CRP is 209 00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:48.240 high, your ESR is high. If all those are high, that's a 210 00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:53.440 metabolic syndrome and you are in trouble. That's going to make you more prone 211 00:22:53.480 --> 00:23:00.359 to heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular disease. So you better start taking action 212 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:06.440 immediately. You better start exercising, You better start getting rid of those bad 213 00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:10.720 foods. The sugar, the wheat, the dairy, the corn, the 214 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:15.160 soy, the coffee, the alcohol. Those are the big foods we have 215 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:22.920 to avoid to reduce inflammation and reduce your chances of cardiovascular disease, reduce your 216 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:29.039 chances of cancer, reduce your chances of obesity and diabetes, and your immune 217 00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:34.200 system being off, and dementia and Alzheimer's. You could do it. All 218 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:38.319 these diseases are preventable, but you've got to put in the effort. You've 219 00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.440 got to work hard for it. But you can do it if you put 220 00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:48.519 in the proper nutrition program. And it's not a diet, it's just living 221 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:53.559 healthy, eating the colors of the rainbow and avoiding those short lists of really 222 00:23:53.599 --> 00:24:03.000 bad foods and exercising every day. That's going to bring down your inflammation. 223 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.440 That's going to improve your mood, it's going to boost your brain power. 224 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:12.400 It's going to make your hormones better, your thyroid, your digestion, your 225 00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:22.319 skin, everything. And that's how important nutrition is. Okay, Nutrition and 226 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:32.319 exercise and stress reduction are the biggest causes of diseases, and if you are 227 00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:40.079 disease, then you have inflammation and you have a high acidic environment. That's 228 00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:45.359 your pH. We don't want your pH too low to create an acidic environment. 229 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:52.359 We want an alkaline environment. We want to drink alkaline water, mineralized 230 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:55.759 water. The best way to do that is to just do a pinch of 231 00:24:55.880 --> 00:25:00.960 pinkhamlay and salt in your water to give you the minerals. So if you're 232 00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:07.039 hydrated, then your blood flows, your digestion is better, your brain functions. 233 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:15.359 Banner. Imagine if your brain was like a grape and it got dehydrated, 234 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.839 it will shrivel up to a raisin. I do not want my brain 235 00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:22.480 to shrivel up to a raisin, so I want to make sure I have 236 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:30.680 the proper hydration so all my organs function at optimal levels and well as my 237 00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:38.000 blood flow to distribute the oxygen more when we come back from the break, 238 00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:45.960 don't miss boost your brain power with doctor eric Kemplin every Saturday from two pm 239 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.559 to three pm to learn the secrets of how to optimize your brain function. 240 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:55.599 You can improve memory, focus, energy, sleep, digestion, mood, 241 00:25:55.920 --> 00:26:00.920 skin, metabolism and strength by following the science and research that doctor Kaplan will 242 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:06.079 be sharing with his audience.

Welcome back to boost your brain 249 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:44.559 power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplin. We're talking about mastering nutrition. 250 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.960 We reviewed how to help with a leaky gut. We talked about which 251 00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:59.839 foods to avoid, which foods to make sure you eat. Now it's not 252 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.720 only what foods you eat and what food you don't eat, but it's also 253 00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:08.319 when you eat. If you want to master nutrition, you gotta master when 254 00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:15.519 you eat. And the time to eat is during the day when you need 255 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.880 energy. We eat for energy, So why are you going to give yourself 256 00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:26.799 all this energy at night when you want to get rest. That's the time 257 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:34.640 to relax. So most people have their biggest meal at dinner, which is 258 00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:41.519 the exact opposite of what you want to do, because at night we don't 259 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.720 want to eat. If we're eating for energy, we want to decrease food 260 00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:52.640 at night, and we want to eat during the day when we're active, 261 00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.640 when we're working, when we're moving, when we're exercising, when we're thinking. 262 00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:03.960 At night time, when we're supposed to chill out, relax, calm 263 00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:11.319 the nervous system down, we don't want to eat because that's going to increase 264 00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.519 cortisol, that's the stress harmone. It's gonna interrupt your sleep, it's gonna 265 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:22.200 deposit belly fat, going to decrease your energy and your brain function. So 266 00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:30.400 the timing of one we eat is very important. Idealistically, according to the 267 00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:36.559 rules of the sun, the best time to eat is ten am to six 268 00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:44.960 pm. Those are during the day light hours. Ten am to six pm. 269 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:51.799 That's the best time to eat. That's the solid eight hours of eating. 270 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.279 It's called intermittent fasting, where you eat for eight hours and you fast 271 00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:04.000 for sixteen hours. It's also ideal to sleep from ten pm to six am. 272 00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.599 Therefore, you have four hours from your last meal to bedtime. So 273 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.000 if you're done eating at six and then you go to bed at ten. 274 00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:23.599 That's perfect. It'll decrease cortisol, which is the stress hormone. So we 275 00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:29.440 don't want food at night. That's going to cause you to get up to 276 00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:34.480 pee. A lot of people think getting up to peep at night is caused 277 00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:38.799 by drinking water at night. That's incorrect. It's actually eating food at night. 278 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:48.160 It's actually being in stress mode at night. It's actually your vagus nerve 279 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.720 not working properly at night. If you're in the fight or flight mode, 280 00:29:52.799 --> 00:30:00.079 you're not in the rest and digest. Why are we talking about nutrition and 281 00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:06.680 sleep comes from your vagus nerve. The rest and digest. So when you 282 00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:11.759 sleep, that is when you break down all your food, your nutrients. 283 00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:17.200 You reoxygenate, you rejuvenate, and when you wake up in the morning, 284 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:23.880 it's healthy to have a bowel movement. After all your digestive food is absorbed. 285 00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:29.359 Now we got to get rid of the excess stuff that our body doesn't 286 00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:36.920 want. Our body's amazing at eliminating toxins, whether it's through your bowel movements, 287 00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:45.559 your urination, your boogers, sneezing, coughing, ear wax, sweating, 288 00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:57.599 bleeding, menstruating, crying. These are always our body detoxes, and 289 00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:03.440 if your body's not toxin properly, it's going to come up with a way 290 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:11.920 to get rid of it, whether it's through your skin or throwing up or 291 00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:18.880 diarrhea. So if it's not doing it through the normal ways, it's going 292 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:22.000 to come up with some abnormal way to get rid of these toxins. And 293 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.720 if it doesn't do it in an abnormal way, then you're in trouble because 294 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.480 then you have these toxins that are stuck inside of you, and that's going 295 00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:38.319 to lead to disease and cancer and inflammation and heart disease and emotional troubles. 296 00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:45.799 A lot of my patients with pain or discomfort have this pent up emotion in 297 00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:52.160 their body and they got to get rid of it, and their physical manifestation 298 00:31:53.240 --> 00:32:02.039 is as a result of this emotional pent up anger entment. Whatever it may 299 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:08.160 be, might manifest into a headache or back pain or neck pain, or 300 00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:17.359 anxiety, or dizziness or vertigo, or balance problems or sleeping problems or low 301 00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:25.160 energy or brain fog, memory problems. We got to take care of our 302 00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:30.279 brains and our body. So one of the best ways to do. That 303 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:37.400 is this intermittent fasting about when you eat. If we intermittent fasting, we're 304 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:42.839 giving our body lots of time to detox and get rid of it. If 305 00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:49.839 we're constantly eating, our bodies can't eliminate. That's why fasting is one of 306 00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:53.680 the healthiest things you can do. So I recommend, even it's just once 307 00:32:53.799 --> 00:33:01.680 or twice a year, to do a water fast where all you have is 308 00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:07.839 water and that's it. And you want to do it where a time where 309 00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.400 you could relax. So you can't do it when you're you know, working 310 00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:19.480 a lot and taking the kids to school and you know, reading, studying 311 00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:22.160 a lot. You know, if you have a lot to do, you've 312 00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.480 got to have some food on you. But if you could just chill out 313 00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:28.839 on a weekend, you don't have a lot of stuff to do, you 314 00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:34.519 could just relax. That's a great time to fast. I like to do 315 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:40.200 it, you know, Friday night after dinner, right after six let's say 316 00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:45.960 six o'clocks, you're last meal on a Friday night, and then I like 317 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:52.839 to fast till Monday morning ten am. Because if you just do a twenty 318 00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:58.359 four hour fast, it's good, but it doesn't do that much. If 319 00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:06.799 it's over forty eight hours, then you're actually creating what's called autophogy. Autophogy 320 00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:10.840 means where you eat yourself. Your own cells eat yourself. But what they 321 00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:16.360 do is they eliminate the bad, unhealthy cells. You detox. You have 322 00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:22.280 in your brain called glial cells, and they detox and they kill off all 323 00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:25.599 your bad brain cells and eliminate them. After the age of forty, you 324 00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:30.840 lose about ten percent of your brain cells every decade of your life. Now 325 00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:36.880 that's not that big a deal as long as you lose the bad brain cells 326 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:40.840 and you take care of your good, healthy brain cells and you create more 327 00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:50.000 connections in a process called neuroplasticity, where you rewire your brain and you figure 328 00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:55.280 out where these weak areas of your brain and come up with strengthening exercises to 329 00:34:55.440 --> 00:35:04.000 make your brain function at a higher level. It's called neuroplasticity. Now, 330 00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:08.159 how do you find out what areas of the brain are not functioning well? 331 00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:15.599 The best test to figure out which areas of the brain are not functioning well 332 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:20.960 is called a q EG. Brain mapping not only will tell you what areas 333 00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:23.559 of the brain are not fun but functioning well, it could tell you if 334 00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:30.360 you have intestinal inflammation. It could tell you if you have a thyroid problem. 335 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:36.880 It could tell you if you have a concussion heavy metal poisoning. It 336 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:42.960 could tell you if you don't have enough neurotransmitters such as acetalcoline or dopamine. 337 00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:50.079 It will also tell us do you have insomnia, depression, anxiety, brain 338 00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:57.800 fog, troubles with anger, aggression, shifting tasks, trouble with motivation, 339 00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:07.840 troubles with sleep, troubles with focus, troubles with long term memory, short 340 00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:15.760 term memory, working memory, sensory problems, ringing in the ears, floaters 341 00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:22.599 in the eyes, abnormal taste or smell, visual problems. This all is 342 00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:30.440 picked up by a q EG brain mapping. To perform this test, you 343 00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:32.719 would have to come to one of my offices. I have two offices, 344 00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:38.599 one in Manhattan in New York City in the West Village off Sixth Avenue and 345 00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:45.559 Bleaker by west Forth Subway and NYU and Washington Square Park. It's a great 346 00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:52.239 neighborhood. And then we have another office in Emerson, New Jersey that's in 347 00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:59.639 northern New Jersey in Bergen County. In both offices we have these q e 348 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:07.360 G brain mappings they're normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people 349 00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:14.159 that call text or email you can get the entire q EEG brain mapping for 350 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:19.440 only twenty one dollars. It's normally five hundred dollars, but you can get 351 00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:23.320 it for only twenty one dollars. It's non invasive, there's no radiation, 352 00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:28.679 there's no X rays, there's no MRI machines. You have to lie in 353 00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:32.559 some small tube and don't move. It's very quick, it's easy, there's 354 00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:37.320 no risk. It's normally five hundred dollars, but if you call text or 355 00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:42.039 email you could get it for only twenty one dollars. All you have to 356 00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:50.519 do is call six four six two two one six seven three eight.

Welcome back to boost your brain power. 374 00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:27.800 I'm your host, Doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about mastering nutrition, what 375 00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:34.159 foods to avoid, what foods to eat, when to eat. We could 376 00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:40.360 also talk about which foods to eat with other foods. So if you really 377 00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:49.960 want to master nutrition, you also want to participate in what's called food combining. 378 00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:57.800 What food combining is is where you only eat one type of food at 379 00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:06.840 a time. Your gut has different enzymes for different types of foods. For 380 00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:19.360 example, protein has their own enzymes to break down proteins, so carbohydrates have 381 00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:30.360 other type of enzymes that break those down. If you combine proteins and carbohydrates, 382 00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:37.320 then you have two different types of foods, two different types of enzymes, 383 00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:44.320 and it makes the digestive process a lot harder. A lot of people 384 00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:52.360 just take digestive enzymes for digestive problems. However, that's not appropriate. What 385 00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:59.000 is appropriate is to make sure you have certain enzymes that are released when you 386 00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:06.000 eat certain foods, and you have other enzymes released for other foods. You 387 00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:13.320 don't want your carbohydrate enzymes trying to break down your proteins. You don't want 388 00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:22.000 your fruit enzymes trying to break down your carbohydrates. So what we want to 389 00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:30.880 do is eat proteins by themselves. So if you have steak, don't have 390 00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:37.000 it with potatoes. If you have chicken, don't have it with rice. 391 00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:47.440 If you have turkey, don't have it with bread. Got it. So 392 00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:57.000 that's food combining. You have nuts, which your proteins only with other proteins. 393 00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:07.239 That way, the same enzymes can break them down. Carbohydrates, you 394 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:16.119 know, which are the rice and the potatoes, stuff like that that should 395 00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:28.360 be eaten only with vegetables. Vegetables help digest all foods. Vegetables can be 396 00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:36.440 eaten with protein. Vegetables can be eaten with carbohydrates. Vegetables can be eaten 397 00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:44.119 with fruit. But what you don't want to have is, you know, 398 00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:53.760 a turkey and cheese sandwich on bread and then have fruit after your sandwich. 399 00:42:54.480 --> 00:43:00.920 That way, you're combining proteins, carbohydrates, and fruit all at the same 400 00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:06.159 time. That's not good. Fruit only takes twenty minutes to digest, so 401 00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:12.000 fruit is the best appetizer. It's a good thing to have bursting in the 402 00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:16.920 morning, easy to break down. And then all I have to do is 403 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:23.760 wait twenty minutes to have a good healthy protein for breakfast. And it could 404 00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:29.000 be nuts and seeds, and you know, it can be a piece of 405 00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:34.000 grilled chicken or a piece of fish, or you know, it doesn't only 406 00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:39.079 have to be cereal and oatmeal and yogurt for breakfast. We want to stay 407 00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:50.480 away from all the typical American breakfast foods pancakes, waffles, French toast, 408 00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:58.079 bagel and cream, cheese, toast and butter, muffins, crouissans, frosted 409 00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:05.159 flakes, all these sugar cereals, even oatmeal. These are not healthy breakfasts. 410 00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:14.519 Healthy breakfasts have a lot of protein, some good healthy fat, that's 411 00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:24.320 high energy food for sleep. It's better to have your carbohydrates at night for 412 00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:32.119 energy. It's better to have your fat and protein during the day. So 413 00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:37.000 it's not only what you eat, it's when you eat, and it's when 414 00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:44.000 you eat certain foods, and it's how you combine certain foods. It's not 415 00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:50.199 just about eating healthy. So if you really want to master nutrition, you 416 00:44:50.320 --> 00:44:52.880 have to avoid the bad foods. You have to eat the good foods. 417 00:44:55.079 --> 00:45:00.079 You have to do intermittent fasting, and you have to do food combining. 418 00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:07.239 That's the true master of nutrition. Remember, vegetables you can have with every 419 00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:12.840 meal. You can have vegetables with fruit, you can have vegetables with carbs, 420 00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:16.920 you can have vegetables with protein. But for food combining, we don't 421 00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:22.880 want to combine the protein with the carbs, or have the fruit after the 422 00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:28.039 protein, or have the fruit after the carbs. That's too much for the 423 00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:36.280 digestive system to handle, and that causes digestive problems. Instead of taking only 424 00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:42.440 two hours to digest your meal, it might take twenty hours because you're combining 425 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.960 all these different foods. Can't tell you how many of my patients have food 426 00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:52.400 literally stuck in their intestines. I could feel that it's hard. You could 427 00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:57.519 feel the fecal matter if they're not digesting properly. Some people have twenty to 428 00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:06.719 thirty pounds of beacle matter in their gut, not even exaggerating it could be 429 00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:12.519 that much. So you got a detox because if you have crap inside of 430 00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:17.639 you, then the viruses and the bacteria and the parasites and the worms and 431 00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:22.760 the yeast and the mold it could feed on all that crap in there. 432 00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:29.679 So we literally have to detox and get rid of all that stuff. That's 433 00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:36.000 why fasting is very good. Consistent intermittent fasting and every once in a while 434 00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:43.000 a Friday night to Monday morning, complete water fast, detox, get rid 435 00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:49.239 of all the bad stuff. Autophagy that's where you eat your bad cells. 436 00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:54.880 That's one of the best ways to heal your brain, to heal your gut. 437 00:46:55.760 --> 00:47:00.719 But you got do it in a safe environment because if you fast on 438 00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:05.920 your own. You don't know what you're doing, and you go out and 439 00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:08.480 you are doing too many things and you're running errands, are going shopping. 440 00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:13.239 You can pass out because you don't have your nutrients. You your body's not 441 00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:16.079 used to it. Something that your body's not used to. I've fasted so 442 00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:20.800 many times, my body's used to it. But if you've never done it 443 00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:23.199 before, you got to be very careful. And it's best to do it, 444 00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:27.400 like I said, when you can just rest at home, but everybody 445 00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:32.519 can intermittent fast, which is eating ten am to six pm, and then 446 00:47:32.559 --> 00:47:38.440 we want to sleep from ten pm to six am. We have to master 447 00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:45.920 nutrition. You got to look at your blood work. I was telling you 448 00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:50.199 before. I have patients that are taken ten to twenty vitamins. That's not 449 00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:54.440 necessary. You got to look at your blood work, see where your deficiencies 450 00:47:54.519 --> 00:48:00.719 are. Right. When you see where your deficiencies are, then you know 451 00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:06.960 the appropriate way to handle it. Like I said, most people are deficient 452 00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:10.519 because they don't absorb properly. There may be too inflamed or they have what's 453 00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:19.000 called hypochlorohydria where they have not enough stomach acid because maybe they've even taken anti 454 00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:28.800 acids or tongs or rollaids or stuff like that, or maybe you've taken antibiotics 455 00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:35.159 and you've killed off all the good microbiome, all the good bacteria in your 456 00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:42.119 gut. We need bacteria. Your body is actually more bacteria than cells, 457 00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:50.159 but we need good bacteria. When you take antibiotics, or you always using 458 00:48:50.320 --> 00:49:00.840 purell, antibiotic soap, antibiotic lotion, antibiotic cream, clean everything with bacterial 459 00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:08.800 sprays and bleaches, and you're killing off good bacteria. We need bacteria, 460 00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:19.400 so you probably need to supplement with probiotics. And with probiotics, that's something 461 00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:22.960 that you need to change up all the time. Every two months you want 462 00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:27.920 to take a different type of probiotic. It's not about when they say, 463 00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:30.599 oh, this has got a billion bacteria, and it's not about the number 464 00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:36.519 of bacteria. It's about the different types of strains. That's the most important 465 00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:39.639 thing. So every two months I change my probiotics. To have a good 466 00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:46.239 gut, microbiome, proper digestion, and good immune system. Your gut is 467 00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:52.000 also your immune system because the acid and the bacteria kill off all the bad 468 00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:54.840 stuff. And if you don't have enough acid or bacteria, that bad stuff 469 00:49:54.920 --> 00:50:00.320 lives, and if you have inflammation, that bad stuff's going to enter the 470 00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:07.039 bloodstream. And also if you don't have enough stomach acid, the acid doesn't 471 00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:12.320 kill off the bacteria. The bacteria doesn't kill off the bacteria. The acid 472 00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:15.559 doesn't kill off the bacteria. Then if you have inflammation, it can enter 473 00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:22.760 the blood stream and attack healthy organs. That's what happens with leaky gut right. 474 00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:27.320 So that's why nutrition is so important. If you're interested in learning a 475 00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:32.360 little bit more about nutrition and your own blood work, I'm going to offer 476 00:50:34.039 --> 00:50:37.440 every one of my listeners for the first seven people that call, a free 477 00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:45.000 bloodwork analysis.
