Hello, and welcome to 3 00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:16.960 Roost your brain Power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. We're gonna 4 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:25.839 be talking about brain development. The most important time for brain development is in 5 00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:34.799 utero. It's when your mother is pregnant that will dictate how your brain forms 6 00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:39.600 in the womb. It's where it all starts. And what I mean by 7 00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:48.359 that is if the mother is highly stressed or anxious when she's pregnant, then 8 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:56.359 the baby is going to already be born in stress mode. We see that 9 00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:02.719 all the time. So if a mother is anxious, stress, high strung, 10 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:10.799 worried all the time, angry, not sleeping right during the pregnancy, 11 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:18.640 then the baby is going to develop anxiety and have high stress during childhood. 12 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:25.159 So the beginning is where it all starts. As a man, you want 13 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:32.760 to give the healthiest sperm ever. So if you plan on having children a 14 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:41.959 month before you decide to start trying, you become so healthy. You don't 15 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.760 drink any alcohol, you don't smoke any cigarettes, you exercise every day. 16 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:51.519 You drink lots of water, you eat very healthy, you get good sleep, 17 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.840 you get sunlight, you have good emotional stress, you have fun, 18 00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:00.640 you work hard, you do all the right things. And then when you're 19 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:07.959 ready to donate the sperm, it's the healthiest sperm possible. Same thing for 20 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.840 females. When they're producing their eggs, you only get a certain amount of 21 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:17.479 eggs your entire life. You want to have the healthiest eggs possible. When 22 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:27.280 you combine healthy sperm with healthy eggs, that creates a very healthy baby. 23 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:35.719 Now after you've donated, now it's developmental time and that starts in the womb. 24 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:42.960 So as a father, a father's job once the woman is pregnant is 25 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:50.479 to reduce all the stress in the mother's life. Make sure she's relaxed, 26 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.479 make sure she's happy, make sure she's having fun, make sure she's support 27 00:02:54.479 --> 00:03:00.120 her and everything and eating healthy and exercising. You be there for her to 28 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.759 reduce all your stress, to be as healthy as possible, because the healthier 29 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:09.439 the mama is, the healthier the baby is. All right, So the 30 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:17.000 good news is you can really alter your environment to improve your genes. It's 31 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:24.840 called epigenetics. Okay, So I don't care if everybody in your family has 32 00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.719 diabetes. If you do the right things, and you avoid the sugar and 33 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:38.639 the soda and the juice and the breads and the pastas and all those complex 34 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:45.639 carbohydrates and those starchy foods, and you exercise, and you would use your 35 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.800 stress, you could sleep, you do all the right things. You could 36 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:55.479 turn off the diabetes gene. You could turn off the cancer gene. You 37 00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.199 could turn off the heart disease gene. You could turn off the Alzheimer's gene. 38 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:05.199 But you have to do it. It's called the epigenetics, and it 39 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:11.840 all starts from the beginning. So you could not only alter your own genes, 40 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:18.800 but you can improve your kid's genes by giving them the healthiest genes possible. 41 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:24.279 That's the key, all right. Now. Most people think a lot 42 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.240 of things happen after birth. Most of the stuff's happening before birth. That's 43 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.040 where the problems start, right, So what you do when you're pregnant is 44 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:38.319 key. Make sure you drink lots of water, make sure you exercise. 45 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:42.680 All the right things that I teach are even ten times more important as a 46 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.160 mother, because now it's not only taking care of your own body, but 47 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.319 then you're taking care of the baby's body, and the baby will have good 48 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:58.319 brain development if the mother has good brain activity when she's pregnant, if she's 49 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.120 in a good mood, if she's happy, she's having fun. We don't 50 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.720 want her stress. We don't want her depressed. We don't want her in 51 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:11.800 pain. We don't want her having mourning sickness. That's not normal. A 52 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:16.000 lot of women thinks all these things are normal because they're common. You know, 53 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.720 Menstrual cramps are not normal. It's not normal to get headaches when you're 54 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:27.800 prayed. It's not normal to get headaches when you have your period. It's 55 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:33.480 not normal, mull to have hot flashes when you go through menopause. Just 56 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:39.680 because many people have these symptoms, it doesn't mean it's normal. If you're 57 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:46.920 getting mourning sickness, that means you're putting something in your body that the baby 58 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.680 doesn't want. So then you get nauseous and you throw up to get rid 59 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:54.600 of this stuff that the baby's like, I don't want this. Maybe add 60 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:59.360 some dairy products, maybe add some gluten, maybe add some corn or soy 61 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.920 whatever is. The baby is like, nah, I can't do this, 62 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:08.279 I've got too much. So it gets rid of it. Now, you 63 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:12.439 do want to expose yourself to a little bit of that stuff so that the 64 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:16.399 baby is able to resist it when it gets exposed, because there's always going 65 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:21.639 to be some sort of exposure. So you would put just a tiny bit 66 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:26.560 of dair, you tiny bit of gluten, tiny bit of corn, tiny 67 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.920 bit of soy, tiny bit of conventional foods that are non organic. You 68 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.920 know, you want to get a tiny bit of that other stuff too, 69 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:39.000 because if you're too pure, then the baby can't handle it when it's really 70 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:43.839 exposed. But most babies, I've already you know, two to three hundred 71 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:48.160 chemicals that they're exposed to before they're even born, you know, starting from 72 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:56.800 mommy drinking into the plastic water bottles. Start using glass or stainless steel to 73 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:01.519 drink your water. You don't realize how much of those chemicals in the plastics 74 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:09.680 leak into the water that you drink. It's worth getting a filter at home 75 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:17.040 and just filling up glass water bottles, get a reverse osmosis, put some 76 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:23.279 electrolytes in there, and you're good to go. All right, So take 77 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:28.680 care of your water situation. Make sure your pipes are clean, make sure 78 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.439 you clean and filter the water, make sure you mineralize it. Best time 79 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:38.279 to drink waters on an empty stomach, right when you wake up in the 80 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:43.480 morning. I like to do it before I work out. Just nice glass 81 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.959 of sole water, water with pink amlane salt, Squeeze some lemon in there. 82 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:57.839 Room temperature not too cold. That's the key I drink. Think of 83 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:03.360 your brain like a grape. When a grape gets dehydrated, it shrivels up 84 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.839 into a raisin. I'm sure you don't want your brain to shrivel up, 85 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.480 So start drinking water on an empty stomach right when you wake up in the 86 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:22.439 morning, and half hour before each meal. The water is important on an 87 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:28.160 empty stomach. Try not to drink water during your meal. Try not to 88 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:39.840 drink it after your meal. You really want to do it on an empty 89 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.240 stomach. Okay, if you have to drink it during the meal, just 90 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.039 just a little, just a sip or whatever it may be. Like, 91 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:54.679 water is key, especially when you're pregnant, especially when you're on your period. 92 00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.519 You know you get dehydrated, you're losing fluid. Most them and get 93 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:09.960 stomach cramps or headaches during their period because they're dehydrated. Most stomach cramps. 94 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:24.039 Most leg cramps are from dehydration. A lot of headaches, dehydration, a 95 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:37.480 lot of constipatient it's dehydration. I see a lot of patients with dementia and 96 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:43.519 Alzheimer's, and the days they're the worst or the days they're dehydrated, and 97 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.799 the days they're the best are the days they have lots of fluids in them. 98 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.799 A lot of people go to hospital all they have to do is to 99 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.720 get fluids in them. They're dehydrated. There's so many conditions that are just 100 00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.840 caused by dehydration. But you have to make sure there's salt in your water. 101 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:09.200 It's not just about drinking water. It's about drinking mineralized water. The 102 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:18.159 minerals balance out your pH. You don't want to have your system be acidic. 103 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.159 I'm not talking about your stomach acid I'm talking about your brain, your 104 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:30.360 body. When you're acidic, that's where disease lives. When your immune system 105 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:39.000 can get messed up, will you'll be susceptible to viruses and bacteria. They 106 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:45.919 thrive off an acidic environment. If you have diabetes, you have an acidic 107 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:52.600 environment. If you have heart disease or cancer or Alzheimer's, you have an 108 00:10:52.639 --> 00:11:01.960 acidic environment. These diseases can thrive in an acidic environment as well as hypoxic. 109 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:09.679 That means low oxygen, high carbon. Low oxygen, high carbon. 110 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.759 They like that. That's why breathing exercises are so important. Inhale for four 111 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:22.879 seconds, hold it for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds to maximize 112 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:31.440 oxygen intake and get rid of carbon dioxide. Inhale for four seconds, hold 113 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:39.759 it for seven seconds and exhale for eight seconds. That will increase oxygen levels 114 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:48.039 and get rid of carbon dioxide. That will increase an alkaline environment and decrease 115 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:54.240 an acidic environment. And the other thing you want to do is bring down 116 00:11:54.279 --> 00:12:03.320 your inflammation. There's lots of natural ways to bring down inflammation. Tumeric resveratrow, 117 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:11.080 rosemary, I'm a meal. There's lots and lots of ways. Garlic 118 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:22.480 ginger, those are all natural anti inflammatories, Vitamin d omega threes. They 119 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:28.759 will bring down your inflammation. Right, you bring down your inflammation, you 120 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.320 reduce your symptoms, You function better, you feel better, you live a 121 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:39.200 better life more. When we come back from the break. If you want 122 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.279 to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, 123 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.039 energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balanced vision, headaches, brain 124 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.519 fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your human potential and prevent 125 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.360 future diseases that this is the show for you.

Welcome back to 134 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:43.720 Boost Humaine Power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Caplan. We're talking about 135 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:52.480 ropper brain development. So when babies are born, they have what's called primitive 136 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:58.480 reflex. Is one of the primitive reflex is called a Babinski sign, And 137 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.639 what that is is when you rub the bottom of the foot, the big 138 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.480 toe goes up. That's a positive Babinski sign. That's normal in babies. 139 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:13.679 But after one year of age, it's not normal. That reflex is supposed 140 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.080 to go away. You're not supposed to have it anymore. If you still 141 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.799 have it after one year of age, that means there's an issue in your 142 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:30.799 brain. It's called an upper motor neuron lesion. Now what that means is 143 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:35.039 there could be a lot of different things. We see it on kids with 144 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:46.799 autism, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette's, aspergers. We see a lot of 145 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:52.039 different children with it. I also see it on adults, people with parking 146 00:14:52.279 --> 00:15:01.200 sins and Alzheimer's disease and certain strokes, and so we see it kids and 147 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.600 adults as well. Anytime we see it after one year of age, it's 148 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:15.360 a problem. Though. With children, sometimes they'll have these retained primitive reflexes. 149 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.960 That's just one of them. Another one that most people know is called 150 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.840 the palmer grasp reflex. That's when you put your finger in the child's palm 151 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:33.720 and they grasp, they make it tight. So that's not normal after one 152 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.000 year of age. If they're two years old and they still have that palmer 153 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:43.480 grasp that means their brains not developing properly. We also have this spinal gallant 154 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:50.120 reflexes where I rub along their spine and I see a little twitch. And 155 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.360 a lot of times people who are bedwetters, you know, they could be 156 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.879 five six years old still wetting their bed. A lot of times they'll have 157 00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:03.519 this primitive reflex going on. It should be gone after one year of age. 158 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:11.440 The good news is there's neurological remediation exercises that we can do to remediate 159 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:18.320 these primitive reflexes. If we remediate the primitive reflexes, then we catch the 160 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:23.679 brain up on development. It's really cool, and there's lots of them. 161 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:30.600 There's you know, this asymmetrical tatonic neck reflex. You know, there's the 162 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:36.320 startle reflex. That's where you know, you jump ballup and your he goes 163 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:41.080 back. You get scared very easily. So a lot of these reflexes are 164 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.759 supposed to be gone after one year of age, but what improper brain development 165 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:52.759 will still have these. The good news is there's exercises you can do. 166 00:16:52.919 --> 00:17:00.519 Remember we talked about neuroplasticity rewiring your brain. If your problem is primitive flexes. 167 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.480 There are brain exercises you could do and that will catch up the brain 168 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:11.599 to development and that will help with add ADHD, troubles with focus, develop 169 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:22.079 mental delays, autism, Asperger's dyslexia, wide range to reat. You know, 170 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.599 there's a lot of these developmental delays where the brain isn't developing properly, 171 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:33.799 and the first step always got to be remediation. These primitive reflexes. It 172 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:38.559 works very well for brain development that might not be the issue though. Sometimes 173 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:41.440 you might need to work on the motor aspects. Sometimes you might need to 174 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.200 work on the sensory aspects. Sometimes you need to work on the balance. 175 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:51.440 Everybody's different, everybody's brains different, you know. That's why I always need 176 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:56.480 to do a brain analysis. But remitive reflexes are one of the ways we 177 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:02.559 could check how the brain is fun you know, we could also check for 178 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:10.680 memory and the senior community with a Macha test, the Macha test MCA, 179 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:19.319 that's the standard test you can do to see if you are likely to get 180 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:29.200 dementia, to get Alzheimer's disease. You know, you can actually have an 181 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:34.119 issue with dementia not even realize it. So that's called the Macha test. 182 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:41.599 We do that in an office during our neurologic evaluation. So if you really 183 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.279 want to see how your brain's functioning, you got to do a full neural 184 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:49.680 neurologic evaluation. Got to check your balance, We got to check your heart, 185 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:55.480 your gut. You know, your stomach is key to brain function. 186 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:02.000 If your stomach's all inflamed, then you can get tia that leak out of 187 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:07.039 your gut and start attacking your brain. You can get viruses that leak out 188 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.279 of your gut and attack your brain. Your gut is your first line of 189 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:17.880 defense against the bad stuff. You can get parasites and then they go and 190 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.400 attack your brain. Sometimes to heal the brain, we got to heal the 191 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:29.000 gut. But we got to do a proper neurological valuation to figure out where 192 00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:33.039 the problem is. Sometimes it's a circulation issue. You're not getting up blood 193 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:38.680 flow, so we got to improve cardiac function. You know, the future 194 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:44.720 of medicine is taking a holistic approach, not just looking at one specialty, 195 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.880 because everything works together at the human body's amazing piece of machinery, and they 196 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.480 all work together. So at my office, I have two offices, one 197 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:59.160 at Emerson, New Jersey, and one in the West Village of Manhattan in 198 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:03.400 New York City. So it's called Caplin Brain and Body. And we're integrative, 199 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:11.720 we're holistic, we're very natural. We don't prescribe medicine, we don't 200 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:18.079 do surgeries, but we get to the root cause of the problem rather than 201 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:26.480 treating symptoms. But the first step is to do a thorough evaluation, do 202 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.400 a physical or check your oxygen levels, your pulse, your blood pressure, 203 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:34.240 your eyes, your ears, your balance, your memory, your posture, 204 00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:38.599 your alignment, your muscles, your bones, your nerves, your brain. 205 00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:44.559 Takes about forty five minutes. But we're going to do a special right now 206 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.920 for all my listeners. You guys have been great at supporting me. Now 207 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.039 it's time. Now we're going to reward you. So we're gonna give you 208 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:56.480 a gift. Instead of paying five hundred dollars for the complete one on one 209 00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:02.680 evaluation with me, all you have to do is bake twenty one dollars and 210 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:07.799 we come up with your diagnosis and come up with holistic and natural ways that 211 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:14.279 are going to be improved the function of your body, so your quality of 212 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:19.279 life gets better as you get older. All you have to do is be 213 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:26.200 one of the first seven people to call, text or an email. The 214 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:33.839 phone number is six four six two two one six seven three eight. Again 215 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:41.039 that's six four six two two one six seven three eight, or you can 216 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:48.440 email info at Kaplan Brain embody dot com. We'll go over all your health 217 00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.240 goals. You have blood work. In your blood work, if you have 218 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:59.680 a Morris, bring in your amis. We'll review your whole history. We'll 219 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:08.759 do an evaluation, come up with the proper diagnosis and give you therapeutic exercises 220 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:17.839 and alter your environment and improve your health and well being so that your own 221 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:25.200 body heals itself. The power that made the body heals the body. All 222 00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:30.880 we have to do is get rid of the interference. Sometimes doctors interfere too 223 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:37.279 much. They interview with medicine or surgeries. You know, they're so quickly 224 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.119 to just take out organs. Sometimes I can tell you, I'm my patients. 225 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.240 You know, they're just missing organs, and I'm like, what happened? 226 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.799 Said? The doctor just said to take it out? And these people 227 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:55.039 weren't dying. You know, it's just like up, your tonsils are swollen, 228 00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:59.440 let's take it out. Up. You got gall stones let's take out 229 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:07.319 the gall black Oh you have assist Let's just do a whole this direct to 230 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:14.000 me. You know, you got to be careful with taking out organs. 231 00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:18.960 You know, there's always a reason. You know, we have an appendix 232 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:21.440 for a reason. We don't just want to take it out. We have 233 00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:23.480 tonsils for a reason. We don't just want to take it out. We 234 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:26.000 have ad annoyance for a reason. We just don't want to take it out. 235 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:32.160 We have a gallbladder, don't just take it out. You know. 236 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:37.839 We don't just remove organs for convenience. You know, if it's a life 237 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:42.799 of saving, okay, that's when you do the surgery when there's no other 238 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:48.599 choice. And there are many times where we need to do surgeries, and 239 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.680 we have the best surgeons in the world in America. We have the greatest 240 00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:53.759 surgeons, you know, especially in the emergency room. You know, when 241 00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:56.880 when they need to save a life. There's no place I'd rather be. 242 00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:03.480 We have the best hospital, the best doctor's, best equipment, is the 243 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:08.759 greatest place to be. But when we're talking about chronic disease, I feel 244 00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:14.319 like the health care system has let us down. We're not really taught about 245 00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:21.079 mental state how to improve that. We're not taught about nutrition properly, about 246 00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:26.000 how to exercise, about how to keep your brain strong, about Alzheimer's, 247 00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:33.279 to avoid all the chemicals and stresses, to avoid cancer. You know how 248 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.519 to bring down obesity and diabetes and heart disease. A lot of the stuff 249 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:45.319 is pretty basic stuff, but unfortunately we're not taught these things in medical school. 250 00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:52.319 So a lot of people, aren't you going down the right road as 251 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:56.680 far as their health and their well being. You kind of got to stay 252 00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.680 away from what the mainstream does. You don't want to be like everybody else, 253 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:06.640 or you'll end up like everybody else this way, if you take care 254 00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:10.000 of your own health, you'll function better, feel better, and live a 255 00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:15.160 better life more.

Welcome back to boost your brain power. 267 00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:18.000 I'm your host, doctor Eric Caplin. All right, we're talking about 268 00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:23.240 boosting your brain. Improup brain function as you develop and get older. It 269 00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:29.160 all starts from in the mother's belly. That's the most important time for brain 270 00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:33.839 development. Now, as you get older and you get rid of these permitive 271 00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:38.119 reflexes, your brain can develop more. Okay. What's interesting is that a 272 00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:44.400 female brain usually fully develops around you know, sixteen or seventeen years old, 273 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:49.960 but a male brain usually only develops after twenty one or twenty two. So 274 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:55.880 males have a little bit more time to catch up their brain to development. 275 00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.440 They are a little bit delayed, you know, from the beginning, which 276 00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:04.160 is okay, that's totally normal. That's just the way it is. Females, 277 00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:07.079 we have to work a little bit quicker. So we got to make 278 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:14.000 sure that any problems in the female brain is taken care of before fourteen fifteen 279 00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:18.759 sixteen. That's when you know they're going to really get some what's called plasticity 280 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.880 in their brain, where stuff's going to get wired or certain wet. That 281 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:29.200 you can always rewire your brain. We can rewire your brain through a process 282 00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:37.839 called neuroplasticity. Rewiring your brain is the way if you unfortunately already have a 283 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:44.680 problem. Right, Let's say you have insomnia or sleep deprivation. You know, 284 00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:48.400 you wake up and you're all groggy, you don't want to get out 285 00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.079 of bed. You press the snooze alarm. All right, So let's say 286 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.880 that's your problem, because that's the way your brain's wired. You know, 287 00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.319 whenever it was you got into some bad habits as a teenager. You know, 288 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:07.279 you always were working hours that were off or whatever it is, your 289 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:15.279 brain's wired. One. By doing brain exercises, by altering your environment, 290 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:19.759 you can rewire your brain and you could teach your brain. Hey, you 291 00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:26.200 could actually go to sleep at a normal time and stay asleep and not get 292 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.519 up to roll over, or not get up to pay or not stay with 293 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.720 your mind raising or thinking too much. You can wake up with energy, 294 00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:41.279 with vitality, but you got to rewire your brain. You don't want to 295 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:48.319 take an ambient that's dangerous. You don't want to take xanax, that's dangerous. 296 00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:57.039 These drugs cause brain problems. Okay, and we want to always do 297 00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:04.839 the least risky medical intervention. If you're trying to do something, you always 298 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:12.799 measure the risk versus the reward, the risk versus the reward. So if 299 00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:19.839 you take a pill that's high risk, now what if you could do activities 300 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:26.640 that are very low risk and high reward. That's where neuroplasticity comes in. 301 00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:37.160 But the caveat is it's more work. It's not easy for sleep, for 302 00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:40.039 example, that's what we're just talking about. You got to do a lot 303 00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:42.000 of work. There's a lot of important rules, like for sleep, you 304 00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:48.200 got to be consistent ten o'clock every night, one in one straight days. 305 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:55.240 You don't want your brain going ten o'clock one night, ten fifteen, one 306 00:29:55.359 --> 00:30:00.359 night, ten thirty, another night ten fifteen, the next night ten ten 307 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:04.759 o'clock, eleven o'clock, ten o'clock, ten fifteen, ten o'clock. It's 308 00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:10.720 too confusing. You got to get any good rhythm. It's called circadian rhythms. 309 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.960 It's controlled by your penneal gland. Okay, so we want to do 310 00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:23.440 ten o'clock every night, and then you get into your different brain waves. 311 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:27.599 You get into that delta brain wave, which is the sleep. You want 312 00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:32.559 to get into that rim rapid eye movements. You want to get into that 313 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:40.319 deep sleep cycle. Your sleep cycles are about ninety minutes, all right. 314 00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:45.839 So let's say if you fall asleep at ten, you get one sleep cycle 315 00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:52.559 from ten to eleven thirty, and your next one is eleven thirty to one, 316 00:30:53.720 --> 00:31:03.759 then one to two thirty and two thirty four and then four to five 317 00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.480 thirty. You sleep from ten to five thirty. That's perfect. You can 318 00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.400 all your sleep cycles in. You're waking up every time, same time, 319 00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:17.720 you're going to sleep, same time. If you want to get an extra 320 00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:21.240 sleep cycle, so instead of wig up at five thirty, you go to 321 00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:26.079 seven, but you're keeping it in that same sleep cycle. To do it 322 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.279 consistently, I like to go at the four o'clock sleep cycle. I'm waking 323 00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:37.960 up at four, like to exercise get that power hour we spoke about last 324 00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.559 time, right, But you don't have to do that. You could do 325 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:48.519 five thirty, you could do seven, but it's consistency ten o'clock to five 326 00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:53.680 thirty every single night, ten five thirty, ten, five thirty, ten, 327 00:31:55.079 --> 00:32:00.160 five thirty. And then your brain it's in that good rhythm. Now, 328 00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:06.640 what else you could do is where you use the sun. The sun 329 00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:13.079 is the key to sleep. And say you have to walk outside during sun 330 00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:19.119 rise. So yeah, you're getting up early, you could see the sunrise. 331 00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:28.160 Conversely, you go outside during sunset, it's try and get ten twenty 332 00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:30.680 minutes, go for a nice walk. Make that you know when you walk 333 00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:37.519 the dog, something like that, walk yourself. It's getting a good rhythm. 334 00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:42.599 Three good habits, twenty one days of good habits and your brain rewires 335 00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:46.480 and neuroplasticity. You could do it. You could do anything for twenty one 336 00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:52.480 days. All right, So you're going outside sunrise, going outside during sunset. 337 00:32:53.279 --> 00:33:00.359 Now what the brain doesn't like if you came home after sun set. 338 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:07.000 But now the blinds are closed, all the lights are on, the TV's 339 00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.319 on, the computers are and you're checking your cell phone, you're eating food, 340 00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:15.920 it's late at night, you're stressed out, whenever it may be. 341 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:22.160 You're you're increasing your cortisol levels. After sunset, we got a decreased cortessol 342 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:27.880 levels. You gotta dim the lights. You gotta turn off the computer. 343 00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:32.519 You gotta turn off your cell phone, turn on the radio, Listen to 344 00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:39.359 a podcast, read a book, talk to a family member, exercise, 345 00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:51.799 learn something new, take a class, do something social, draw, sculpt, 346 00:33:52.119 --> 00:34:00.359 paint, so garden, put up a shelf, learn something they new, 347 00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:05.119 Learn an instrument, learn a dance, learn a language. But stay 348 00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:12.119 away from light, Stay away from electricities, stay away from the screens, 349 00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:19.440 stay away from food. Those all increased cortisol. Stay away from stress. 350 00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.639 Stay away from the news, stay away from the newspaper, social media. 351 00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:29.719 You wouldn't good night's sleep. Don't go through social media or watch the news 352 00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:37.000 at nighttime. You're gonna get the worst sleepier life. You know, Listen 353 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:44.400 to something educational or funny, learn something new, do something active, do 354 00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:52.519 something social, do something new. You gotta stop eating at night and watching 355 00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:58.039 TV or going on your phone, using the computer, or being on the 356 00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:01.639 iPad. Those are the worst habits to doing. That's what ninety nine percent 357 00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:08.199 of people do at night. They eat and use electronics. Gotta stop, 358 00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:15.280 got to change it up. Your brain will deteriorate. If those are the 359 00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:22.360 habits that you're getting into, I'm sure you want to prevent future problems. 360 00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:30.239 An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I'm your oast 401 00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:25.960 doctor Eric Caplan. So we're going to talk about how to improve your brain 402 00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:32.800 function from the start. The key is having a good foundation, so it 403 00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:43.440 starts from even before conception, then into pregnancy, then as a baby child 404 00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:47.760 teen adult. So it's not just you know, everyone says, oh, 405 00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:51.760 these are the most important years, these the most important years. The most 406 00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:59.559 important years actually starts even before conception. That's when it all starts. Healthy 407 00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:05.519 spurre, healthy acts, and ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 408 00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:10.400 Right. So, I'm not the doctor that likes to write prescriptions or 409 00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:15.400 do surgeries. I don't do that. I am not writing prescriptions, I'm 410 00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:21.840 not performing surgeries. I'm a functional doctor. I'm a functional neurologist. I 411 00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:25.880 practice functional medicine. So what we do is we get to the root cause 412 00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:30.360 of the problem. And to get to the root cause, and they come 413 00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:36.679 up with a solution that is a low risk. You always want a solution 414 00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:44.639 that's low risk and high reward, and that's typically a more natural, integrade, 415 00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:51.880 a holistic type of approach. You always want to take less risks. 416 00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:55.960 That's the key. The body is amazing at healing itself. We just need 417 00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:00.000 to get rid of interference, and we get rid of that interference in a 418 00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:06.719 way that causes no harm. It's not that hard. Got to keep it 419 00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:13.360 simple, right, So for your brain, just do the right things. 420 00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:19.679 When you're pregnant, do the right things don't give it as an excuse to 421 00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:23.079 start eating a lot of bad food. Yup, I'm eating for two. 422 00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:28.440 Now. What you do is a motivator. Okay, I'm gonna give this 423 00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:32.400 kid the best brain ever. I'm going to drink lots of water with good 424 00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:38.199 minerals. I'm gonna exercise every day. I'm gonna have good mental attitude, 425 00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:44.760 reduce my anxiety. I'm gonna get good sleep, I'm gonna have good relationships. 426 00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:50.159 I'm gonna eat healthy food. I'm gonna go on vacation, gonna have 427 00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:53.760 some fun, help charity. Just like be on point, be the best 428 00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:59.320 person ever, and then you'll give that baby the best brain ever. All 429 00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:04.960 right, that's the key, and all starts from the beginning. But the 430 00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:09.320 good news is it's never too late. I had a patient. She was 431 00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:15.119 ninety six years old. When she came to me. She couldn't even look 432 00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:20.679 at me because her head was down and her chin was all marked up, 433 00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:24.039 because the only way she could look at someone is she would push her chin 434 00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:30.400 up. She came to me ninety six years old. She never saw a 435 00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:37.960 doctor in her life. She was literally born in the apartment that she lived 436 00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:43.760 in, this little studio she's lived there for ninety six years. She barely 437 00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:47.519 leaves. She's in the village in the West Village where my office is in 438 00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:55.639 Manhattan. But she came to me in desperation because like she literally kept hunching 439 00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:59.880 over more and more and more and more and couldn't even lift her head. 440 00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:06.599 So at ninety six years old, we were able to rehab her, work 441 00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:09.519 on her posture, work on her brain, actually do a lot of eye 442 00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:15.719 act for sciences, and we were able to get her to lift her head 443 00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:22.360 up for the first time in twenty years at ninety six years old. It's 444 00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:30.719 never too late. Brains are much easier to fix when they're developing. That's 445 00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:35.719 why we always want to see kids early on. Right now, we're doing 446 00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:42.400 a lot of pre testing for sports, so since school's about to come, 447 00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:45.760 we're doing a lot of concussion testing. We're actually check all the lobes of 448 00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:51.719 the brain. And what we do is we figure out where your baseline is. 449 00:43:52.320 --> 00:44:00.320 We do a complete physical, complete neurological evaluation, figure out where exactly 450 00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:07.760 the problems are, if any, but if not, then we have a 451 00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:12.039 good baseline. And if there is a head injury. Now let's say they're 452 00:44:12.039 --> 00:44:15.440 playing football and they don't necessarily get knocked out. It's not a big hit, 453 00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:21.280 but they do hit their head. Then what you do is you retest 454 00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:28.760 and you compare the first test to the last test and you see where the 455 00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:34.760 average areas are. If the damaged areas are really bad, we know that 456 00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:42.000 they head injury caused the problem. So this test that we do are preconcussion 457 00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:49.800 test. It's called a VNNG video nistography, and you wear these goggles and 458 00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:52.320 you just follow this red dot and it goes up and down and left and 459 00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:55.440 right, and there's light and there's no light, and there's head movements. 460 00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:00.800 So we measure all the lobes of the brain, the frontal loam, the 461 00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:07.519 parodo temporal occipital, the cerebellum, the brain stem. So we measure all 462 00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:10.039 the different areas of the brain. You get a baseline, it's called baseline 463 00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:19.159 testing. Then if there's any injury, you redo the VG and you could 464 00:45:19.159 --> 00:45:23.559 see up. Look, the cerebellum was good before the season started. Now 465 00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:30.920 that right cerebellum is decreased in function. Now we know that the sports injury 466 00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:38.079 damage that right cerebellum area, and we could give therapeutic exercise, natural exercise 467 00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:45.320 to stimulate that damaged area, make it stronger, just like make a muscle 468 00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:50.920 stronger. A lot of people when they have a head injury are just told 469 00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:57.159 to rest. Sometimes that could be actually really bad because the brain just gets 470 00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:02.039 weaker and weaker and weaker. You don't want to overdo it when you have 471 00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:07.960 a sports injury, but you don't want to underdo it when you have these 472 00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:14.159 injuries. It could be from car accidents as well, slip and fall. 473 00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:20.880 It's not necessarily a football concussion. But to check the areas of the brain 474 00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:23.599 and get a good baseline and see how your brain is functioning, sell all 475 00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:28.599 the different loads of the brain and functioning, and you see is one side 476 00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:34.119 overactive and one side's underactive. This is the best test for that. It 477 00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:39.800 tells you if it's overfiring or underfiring, and that will dictate what type of 478 00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:45.400 therapy we need, because if it's underactive, we need to do more stimulating 479 00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:52.960 exercises. If it's overactive, we need to do more relaxing or calming type 480 00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:59.480 of exercises. So the only test where I shall say, the best test 481 00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:07.880 that will diagnose that properly is this v goggle test, the V test. 482 00:47:08.039 --> 00:47:15.000 That test is normally five hundred dollars, but for the first twenty one or 483 00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:17.599 for the first seven people that sign up, you can get it for twenty 484 00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:22.960 one dollars only. For the first seven people that sign up, you could 485 00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:28.239 get it for only twenty one dollars, and you could do you know your 486 00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:30.840 self, you could do your child, you could do your mom. So 487 00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:35.920 you can actually do more than one. This test is really good. There's 488 00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:39.480 no radiation. It's normally five hundred dollars. First seven people get it for 489 00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:44.880 only twenty one dollars. All you got to do is call or text. 490 00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:52.119 The number is six four six two two one six seven three eight, or 491 00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:57.519 you can even email us info at cap when Brain and Body dot com. 492 00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:01.559 So this test is it's really good because it tells us the difference between the 493 00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:06.519 left and the right, and then it also analyzes the different area of the 494 00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:10.880 brain.

I'm like a detective where I get to the root cause of a 521 00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:17.199 problem and we figure out where the problem is. And sometimes you might have 522 00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:22.840 to change your diet. You might have to eat some different foods. Sometimes 523 00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:27.320 you might have to change your sleeping habits. Sometimes you might have to do 524 00:50:27.480 --> 00:50:32.519 some breathing exercises. Sometimes you need some eye exercises, or you might have 525 00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:37.960 to work on your posture or your balance. Everybody's different, So we got 526 00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:42.800 to figure out where your weaknesses are, because you're only as strolling as your 527 00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:47.960 weakest link. But there's general rules, general rules for everybody, you know, 528 00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:52.840 just to improve the function. For example, dairy products. You know, 529 00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:59.719 generally nobody should have dairy products unless you're a calf a baby. Cow. 530 00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:07.159 That's the only species on the planet that will drink cow's milk is a 531 00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:12.719 calf. You know, the human milk is made for humans. Cow's milk 532 00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:15.480 is made for cows. Sheep milk is made for sheep, and goat milk 533 00:51:15.639 --> 00:51:21.079 is made for goat. So just keep it to your own species, all 534 00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:24.199 right. The mid dairy industry is a business, and they're just creating a 535 00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:30.239 product for you to consume so they make money. There's absolutely no health in 536 00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:35.440 there, so that's true for everybody, and everybody needs to exercise. Everybody 537 00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:39.159 needs to eat healthy. Everybody needs to get a decent amount of sleep. 538 00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:45.360 Everyone needs to have some fun in their life. Everyone needs to go get 539 00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:52.360 some sunlight, to be in nature, and everybody needs to be social and 540 00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:54.880 to have a purpose and to give to others. Those are just general rules, 541 00:51:55.480 --> 00:52:00.519 but if you want to get to the specifics, keep listening, keep 542 00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:04.960 following, keep calling, enjoying.
