The following is a paid podcast. iHeartRadio's hosting of this podcast constitutes neither an

boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. Now,
there's lots of ways to improve your brain function, but the most important necessary
thing to do every single day is to get good sleep. You gotta get
good, consistent sleep. There's twenty four hours a day. Eight hours should
be sleep, eight hours should be work, and eight hours should be fun.
Don't forget the fun part. A lot of people just work sleep,
work, sleep, work, sleep. We gotta have fun, and if
you can combine work with fun, that's even better. You know what I
do. I love my work, whether it's treating patients at my clinics in
New Jersey and New York, whether it's writing my books, writing my newspaper
health column, doing my radio show, talking to live audiences, doing my
online Zoom seminars, or doing my in person lectures. So I love to
just always help people and give to others. I'm very blessed to love what
I do, and I always tell my patients, you want to find something
that you love to do that way you never work a day in your life,
and if you could do something that's even active, even better. You
know, sitting at a computer all day isn't the best thing for the brain,
especially if you have to do computer work at night and is really bad.
That's gonna mess your sleep up. Okay, so always love what you
do. Have eight hours of fun, eight hours of work, and eight
hours of sleep. Now how are we gonna get that eight hours of sleep.
One of the most important ways to accomplish that is through intermittent fasting.
And what we want to do is eat from ten am to six pm and
then sleep from ten pm to six am. That's your eight hours of sleep
ten pm to six am. Then when you do intermittent fasting from ten am
to six pm, that gives you four hours from your last meal to time.
Those four hours are key to getting proper rest because four hours is enough
time to break down your food right. Food's broken down at different time periods.
Fruit is the easiest to digest. It only takes about twenty to thirty
minutes to go through. Carbohydrates take about two to three hours. Proteins take
about three to four hours, so meaning you need at least four hours to
digest your food. Now, if you don't wait and you go to bed
very very close to after eating, now your cortisol levels are too high.
Now your melatonin levels are too low. If you want good sleep, you
need to bring your cortisol levels down and your melatonin levels up. But you
can't do it synthetically. It's no good to take melatonin because then your brain
says, I don't need to produce it on my own because you're taking this
vitamin that you bought at CBS. You want your own body to produce melatonin.
When I'm helping patients with Parkinson's, I'm not the doctor that writes a
prescription for the el dopa. But what I try and do is rewire the
brain through a process called neuroplasticity to improve connections and improve neurotransmitters, oxygen,
mitochondria ATP to get these collaterals, these bridges, these connections. Therefore,
the brain will produce the dopamine on its own, and it comes from this
area of your brain called the basal ganglia. That's where dopamine's produced. But
if your brain's not functioning at optimal levels, it's not gonna produce dopamine,
and that's why people get Parkinson's disease. But I'm not gonna prescribe you dopamine
for Parkinson's disease. I'm going to try and get your brain stronger through neuroplasticity
and rewire your brain. That's what functional neurology is very different than a medical
neurologist. If you have sleeping troubles, they're gonna give you sleeping pills or
give you a seapap. What's a seapap. That's that little thing that you
It's a mask that you wear when you're in bed. But the only when
you get a seapap is to do a sleep study. So a lot of
times when you go to the doctor and you say I can't sleep, say
okay, let's do a sleep study. And then they hook you at all
these machines and electrodes and measure your brain ways and say, uh, you
got sleep at in there. And what's the solution for sleep at in there?
It's called the sea pap. That's always the solution, the sea pap,
and that's to get you to breathe better through your nose. But why
don't we get to the root, cause how come you're not breathing well through
your nose. Maybe you need to exercise those muscles and those passageways because maybe
you've been using your mouth for too long and now your brain's wired that way,
so you got to rewire your brain. One of the best things I
suggest for my patients with sleep abnea who don't want to use a sepap,
it's called hostage tape. So you get this hostage tape. It's pretty cheap,
which is like this tape that covers your mouth and it forces you to
breathe through your nose, so you exercising those nose breathing mechanisms, and then
your brain after twenty one days, gets rewired and starts to breathe through its
nose on its own. Your brain can change. It's called neuroplasticity. But
you gotta do the work. And it's not only it's not only doing the
hostage tape, but you also got to do brain exercises. Just like you
can exercise a muscle, you could do brain exercises. Specific exercise for the
vaguus nerve because that's your rest and digest So if you have difficulties sleep but
also have digests, ibs also rate of colitis, Crohn's disease, silliac disease,
cebow intestinal inflammation, leaky gut. So if you have these problems plus
sleeping, you most likely have an issue with your vagus nerve. That's the
rest and digest. It's part of your parasympathetic nervous system. And one way
to stimulate the vagus nerve is through gargling. Gargling really intensely, So you
just get a bunch of water and as loud as you can, gargle like
for thirty seconds and wake up your neighbors. The louder the gargle, the
better, the more intense, the better you could sing with it. You
can try and reach up to the ceiling. Do it in the shower where
you can be super messy. That's for your vagus nerve to get you out
of that stress mode, out of that fight or flight mode, into a
relaxed rest and digest. Now we're gonna be able to sleep. So do
the gargling. You do the hostage tape, do the intermittent fasting. Don't
eat anything for the four hours before bedtime. We don't want cortisol levels to
be high. What else raises cortisol levels is electronics. The smart devices,
your iPhone and your iPad and your iMac and your flat screen TV and your
computer and your cell phone. All these smart devices emit blue light, which
increases cortisol, which is the stress hormone. It's going to interrupt your deep
sleep. It's going to decrease melatonin, and it's going to even if you're
in bed, not get that big rest that you need when we want to
get in that delta wave pattern that m rapid eye movements. We want to
get in those deep sleep cycles. And electronics and smart devices are going to
keep you up. We don't want you up. We want you relaxed.
So unplug And I'm literally saying unplugged. Not just turn off your device,
but I don't want devices plugged in in your room. If you want to
sleep the best, most deep sleep, don't have anything plugged in. I
mean in my bedroom. We don't have a TV. We don't have a
clock with bright lights telling us what time it is. We don't have our
cell phones near our heads, the computer, the iPad, if they need
to be charged, they're in the other room. They're downstairs. They're far
away from us. We don't want our heads near any electronics, and even
stuff that's turned off, we don't want it near anything that's plugged in.
I had a patient couldn't sleep, and we found out by doing some investigating
that where her head was on the opposite side of the wall, she had
these appliances that were plugged in, not even in her room, it was
in the next room, but it was on the same wall that her head
was. So we couldn't move these big appliances in the room next door.
So we switched her bed and we put her head on the other side where
there was nothing on the other side. It was just the outside, and
she started sleeping like a baby just by getting away from the electronics. So
if you want good sleep, you unplug all your smart devices. You keep
it out of your room. If you have to keep an alarm clock like
your phone, put all the way in the corner and that way you have
to get out of bed anyway for the alarm clock so you can press snooze
and go back to bed. The worst thing is pressing snooze. The snooze
alarm is the worst invention. It literally makes yours day start off with a
failure. So you set your alarm intending to get in at a certain time,
but then you fail and you press snooze, say I'll let me sleep
in a few more minutes. The problem with snooze is you can't get into
that deep sleep. Your deep sleep is ninety minute cycles, so you have
to get ninety minutes asleep to get that deep sleep. So if you're pressing
that snooze alarm seven minutes, seven minutes, seven minutes, seven minutes,
that does nothing. That makes you actually worse. So you get out of
bed and start your morning routine to exercise, and that increases cortisol in the
morning, which is going to help you sleep better at night. You are

You're listening to boost your brain power. Let's talk about how to improve sleep.
You got to get in what's called circadian rhythms. And the way to
get in circadian rhythms is to have high cortisol in the morning and low cortisol
at night, as well as low melatonin in the morning and high melatonin at
night. That's gonna get your deep sleep. That's gonna activate your pineal gland
in the correct way, which controls your circadian rhythms. But how can you
do that? Well, the best way is to use the sun. The
sun will help you sleep better than anything. Now what do I mean by
the sun will help you sleep? You have to see the sun. You
have to go outside during sun rise and during sun set. And it doesn't
have to be long, literally five ten minutes so you go outside during sunrise
for five to ten minutes. That's if the sun's out. If it's really
cloudy, it still works, but you might have to be there closer to
twenty minutes. You gotta double it, all right, But go outside,
not look outside. Go outside. You have to see the entire sky so
your brain can figure it out. Okay, this is north, this is
south. This is the way the sun's rising, this is the way the
sun's setting. It's moving in this direction. It's this amount of brightness,
it's this angle. So this time of the year, the brain needs to
see the sun to work. But if you're inside all day and you're inside
all night, the brain has no idea what time it is, and I'm
not going to figure it out by looking at a clock. Doesn't work like
that. It figures it out by light. That's how our brains are designed.
Time is a human concept that we just made up to communicate to others,
but it really doesn't exist. What does exist is sunlight and moonlight.
So as the brain sees the sun rising and the sky getting brighter, it
says, okay, it's time to stimulate increase energy. Now it's time.
We're ready for that hunting or that gathering. It's getting us ready these modern
days. It's getting us ready for work, getting us ready to school,
to think, the focus, to do your chores and your errands. Daytime
is when we get stuff done. That's when we need our energy. When
we need cortisol, we need that, We need that light. You're gonna
use electronics, you use them in the morning. When we want cortisol levels.
You want to look at those screens, you want to do computer work,
do it in the morning. When we want cortisol high, we need
to increase our levels, and light is the key. So you go outside
for five ten minutes during sunrise, increase cortisol, decrease melatonin. Then you
also go outside for five to ten minutes during sunset. Okay, that's going
to decrease cortisol. That's going to increase melatonin. Now after sun set and
you come back in the house, we don't want to confuse the brain.
And have the lights on, all these big bright lights, and then have
the TV on and you watch your TV show, and then the computers on,
so you're going on Face, Facebook, and then your cell phone's on.
You're checking your text messages and the iPads on and you're browsing on YouTube.
And if you come home and you have all the lights on, all
the electronics on, in the brain says, oh, looks like it's daytime.
We got to increase cortisol. That's going to interrupt your sleep. So
just like you did intermittent fasting and you stop eating at six pm to decrease
cordisan, you should also stop electronics after six pm and start dimming the lights
and seven pm, dim the lights even more at eight pm and turn all
the lights off in just one little desk lamp and nine pm and then turn
everything off and just listen and into some podcast or an audible book or a
some music or you know, just spend some time with your loved one.
And so now it's time to chill out. And now it's ten o'clock we
should be asleep. So six o'clock, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine
o'clock, the lights get less and less and less and less, and your
brain increases. It's melatonin more and more and more and more. So use
the lights to your advantage, use the sun to your advantage. If you
have a jet lag, you travel, you know to California the three hour
time change. You go to Europe or Asia and your circaina rhythms get messed
up. What you have to do is go outside. I don't care what
time it is. If you land at nine pm and there's no sun,
you go outside and look at the moon, and the brain says, oh,
there's the moon. It's nighttime. I should be going to bed.
You want to decrease jet leg, you go outside, and if you're in
California with a three hour time zone, you go outside for three hours.
If you're in Europe and there's an eight hour time difference, you go outside
for eight hours and then your brain has enough time to adapt. Okay,
so being outside is your friend. You're also gonna get more oxygen, more
vitamin D, more exercise, more socialization, get out of the house.
Go outside, not just to sleep, but to improve your brain function,
your cardiovascular function, your mood, your energy everything. You want to be
one of these natural people, like those tree huggers. You want to put
your feet in the grass and in the sand and in the dirt. You
want to touch those trunks of trees, and you want to breathe that salt
air in the ocean, and you want to put your feet at the beach,
in the sand, be in nature, be in the sun, be
in the forest and the trees to get that oxygen. One tree gives enough
oxygen for five people. I like one person for five trees. It's like
you're in an oxygen tank. Increase your time outside. Being inside is the
worst thing for your health. You just sit on the couch on the electronics,
eating junk food. Get outside, exercise, breathe, get your sun,
like, be social, interact with people. That's gonna get your brain
functioning in a higher level. All right, now, getting back to their
saum rhythms. We want to have the light on our side, so at
nighttime we have to decrease that light. If you have a job where you
have to be on the TV, or you have to be on the computer
or your cell phone, do yourself a favor and get a blue light filter.
There's also settings on your computer and your phone and your TV to put
a night shift or night mode mode or blue light filter mode. It's getting
rid of the blue light so it'll look kind of orange. I have these
blue light filter glasses that I wear. I really like those. I suggest
those if you're interested for the first seven people that call text or email you
could get these blue light filter glasses for only ten dollars. Amazing, and
we're gonna give you a big discount. It's only gonna be ten dollars for
the first seven people that call text or email. Uh it is six four
six two two one sixty seven three eight. Or you can email info at
kaplanbraininbody dot com tell me you want to be the first seven people to get
the blue light filter glasses for only ten dollars. Well, also, if
you get those, throw in a free book that I wrote called Boost your
Brain Power, A Guide to Improving your Memory and Focus. It is the
seventeen most important ways that improve in through neurosigns to boost your brain power,
improve your memory, improve your focus, which will in turn prevent dementia,
prevent Alzheimer's as well as a lot of neurological and physical conditions. So if
you get those blue light filter glasses for only ten dollars, we will also
throw in a free book signed by me about how to Boost your brain Power,
A guide to improving your memory and focus. Now, as far as
there's circadium rhythms, right, reading a book at night is good drawing is
good. Writing in your journal is good, joining a book club, doing
something social, you know, maybe joining a tennis group, maybe taking a
dance class, taking a musical instrument class. So get out of the house.
Do something. But if you're in the house, you know, he
said, you could listen to an audible book, a podcast, listen to
some music, play a board game Monopoly, chess, connect for play some
cards, talk to your family members, do something artistic, take up sewing,
do a hobby, you know, do some legos, build some stuff,
do some you know, uh, experimenting. You could start finding how
to cook new meals, and you know, start learning new things, learn
a new language, learn a new skill. Just do anything that doesn't have
to use electronics that will increase your brain function and improve your sleep. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan. You're listening to boost your brain power. If you
want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep,
digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches,
brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your human potential
and prevent future diseases. That this is the show for you. Don't mis

Doctor Kaplan is most famous for getting to the root cause of a wide
variety of brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional medicines and
risky surgeries. To contact doctor Kaplan, you can call his team at two
oh one two six one two one five zero or visit his website at kaplindc
dot com. Hello, this is doctor Eric Caplan. You're listening to boost
your brain power. One of the best ways to boost your brain power,
improve your memory, your focus, your energy is to get good sleep.
We need proper sleep. You need to rest. It will literally take years
off your life if you don't sleep all right, But we gotta get what's
called your gland in order. The pineal gland controls your circanium rhythms, and
a lot of times this can happen if you're in stress mode. Your brain's
overstimulated. Most people their brain's overstimulated. The worst thing is watching the news,
especially at night. If you're watching the news at night and you're you
know, thinking about Israel getting bombed, and you're thinking about the war in
uh Palestine in the Middle East, and you're thinking about Ukraine and Russia,
and you're thinking about all the you know stuff that the news is reporting.
The stabbings in the Bronx and the you know, people murdered on the subway,
and all these wild fires and hurricanes and earthquakes and racism and police brutality
and political corruption and inflation and poverty and starvation and death and disease and drama.
That's what's on the news. How are you gonna get a good night's
sleep if you're not even watching the news. What if you're just watching you
know, these TV shows where you have zombies killing each other and uh,
you know, uh cops capturing sexual predators and you know, people in jail
getting raped and you know, so if you watch the news, that's bad.
But if you watch even the fiction television, that's bad. It's always
something dramatic. It's always murder, it's always killing and blood and guts and
gore. You know, start laughing. You know, I'm gonna maybe watch
a movie or TV. I wanna laugh, I wanna, you know,
see something that's funny. Right, so you wanna have you know, remember
we said this eight hours in a day, eight hours sleep, eight hours
work, and eight hours fun. People aren't having fun everymore. It's too
serious. But you gotta have fun. You got to enjoy life. Life
is about experiences. It's not about being angry and being worried and being in
fear mode. If you're angry, if you're worried, if you're panic and
you're a fear mode, you're not going to sleep well. And if you
don't sleep well, you're gonna take years off your life. You're going to
cause problems. It's gonna be heart attacks and strokes and cancer and obesity and
diabetes. All these bad stuff happens when you're not sleeping properly. So turn
off the news, stop watching all these violent shows. Start doing stuff that's
more calm, relaxing. Do some meditation, practice some mindfulness, do some
yoga, do some taichi, do some breathing exercises. Get in that relaxed
state. When you inhale, that's more stimulating for your body. When you
exhale that's more relaxing. So if you're having time trouble relaxing, trouble sleeping,
really focus on your exhale. So the best breathing exercise is to inhale
for four seconds, hold it for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds.
So we want to make that exhal last really long, or you're just
still a breathing exercise. We take a big breath in and then very slowly
breathe O. That's the key. Very slowly and you just come so you
don't push too hard, so you can last a really long time, long
and long and longer and longer. So as you get better and better,
your exhale could last longer and longer. That's more relaxing. When you inhale,
you want to breathe through your diaphragm, so you want to push your
belly down and out, and then when you excel, everything comes in and
squeezes that carbon dioxide, push it out, push it out. So always
focus on the exhale. That's going to calm down your nervous system. Other
ways to calm down the nervous system is through what's called your tragus, this
little part of your ear. It's like that little inner flat, and that
has been proven to relax your nervous system by stimulating your parasympathetic nervous system.
The parasympathetic nervous system gets you in this rest and digest rather than the fear
mode that bite or flight. You can also do the gag reflex. The
gag reflex has been proven through neuroscience to activate your vagus nerve, which is
also linked to the parasympathetic nervous system. The vagus nerve will decrease your fight
or flight mode to help you get in a more relaxed state. That's that
rest and digest. So you want to do exercises such as gargling, the
tragus, ear rub, the gag reflex. These are neurologic exercises that are
going to relax your nervous system. Conversely, we need to avoid stuff that's
going to be stimulating. The most obvious is caffeine. And I don't care
if it's in the morning, that's still too stimulating for your brain. So
we don't want caffeine, whether it's through your coffee or your tea, or
your energy drinks, your Red Bull, your rock star. Stay away from
the cafe, Stay away from the stimulants, the sugar, the artificial sweeteners,
the preservatives, the food dies. I can't tell you how many children
I see in my office is in New York and New Jersey that when I
suggest to the parents to get off food dies and all these preservatives and artificial
flavors, how quickly they report that their children are less hyperactive, they become
more relaxed. They start sleeping better, they start focusing better, they start
thinking better. They're not as wild, they're not as distracted, they have
a better tention span. Your brain changes quick, but you might not realize
the connection between preservatives, food dies, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners. They
are stimulants for your brain. They cause all this inflammation. And if you
want to get good rest, you have to avoid those stimulants. We have
to keep your nervous system relaxed. If you want to make a tea,
just make it on your own. Literally, buy a piece of ginger,
Boil it in some water and there's your ginger tea. Cut a half an
apple and put some cinnamon sticks. Adds your apple cinnamon tea. You could
do whatever you want. You know, you could put some peppermint in there
and get peppermint tea. You know, you could just squeeze lemon and do
lemon tea. You can make whatever tea you want. Just buy the real
ingredients. Don't add any stimulants. We don't want caffeine. We want to
relax. Sugar chocolate are stimulants, all right, So stay away from the
stimulants. And there's more natural things that are more calmon Valerian root, Saint
John's wart, you know those have been proven to calm down your nervous system.
Okay, so there's lots of stuff you could do to relax your nervous
system, but you got to figure out what part of your brain is overstimulated.
The best test to figure that out is called a VNG. This vg
it's a really cool test to where these goggles they have infrared cameras in them.
They measure different odd moments left and right and up and down and fast
and slow and with a head movement and with light and in the dark,
and it literally analyze which areas are overactive and which areas are underactive. Measure
that there's imbalances of your left and right brain. So if you have anxiety,
if you have depression, if you have troubles of memory, your focus,
or sleep. If you have any of these neurologic problems headaches, dizzyness,
this is one of the best tests for you. It's called a VNG.
It's normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people that call,
text or email, you can get the entire VNG test for only twenty
one dollars. It's only for the first seven people, so all you have
to do is call six four six two two one, six seven three eight,
or you can email info at Kaplanbrain Andbody dot com. Tell them that
you just listen to my show and you want to be one of the first
seven people to do the VNG test that normally costs five hundred dollars for only
twenty one dollars. And if you sign up for the VNG, we will
include for the first seven people a free autograph book by me, doctor Eric
Kaplan. It's called Boost your Brain Power, A Guide to Improving your Memory
and Focus. It's the seventeen best ways that improvement through neuroscience to improve your
memory, your focus, your brain function, which will prevent dementia, Alzheimer's,
help prevent Parkinson's stroke, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity.
It's a really quick read. It's only seventy three pages. It's got all
these references. You can read it within an hour. Even people with low
attention span can read my book. I made it simple and easy, but
stuff that you can implement immediately, and stuff that doesn't cost any money.

You are listening to boost your brain power. If you want to boost
your brain power, if you want to improve your energy, your focus,
your memory, your motivation, your mood, your sleep. We have to
get the proper rest. It's not just being in bed, it's getting that
deep sleep. It's called the delta waves. Your brain has different waves brain
waves. You have an alpha brain wave, that's how you just kind of
normally are during the day. You have a beta brain wave. That's when
you've got to really focus and think and concentrating. You're presenting at your meeting
and you're studying for the big test and you're you know, trying to give
a talk and your boss is asking you questions about the project you just did.
That's the beta. That's when you really got to focus and think and
be on point. Then you got your theta. That's the daydreaming. You're
in La la land, looking at the window, just watching the listening to
them chirp. You know, that's that's the theta. Then when you're sleeping,
that's the delta. That's when you should be totally cool, chill,
calm, relaxed. Right, So, if you want to get that deep
sleep. You got to get your delta brain waves in order. Okay,
if you want to get in that deep sleep, you got to get everything
connecting properly. Your brain has to function in optimal levels. Now, how
are you going to know if your brain is functioning optimal levels. Well,
there's a lot of reasons. Number one is your memory. You could do
what's called a Mocha test. A Mocha test you could literally download from online
for free. It's the standard test that all neurologists do. Everywhere you go,
these neurologists do this moch tests and it will tell you if you're going
to have a problem with memory, if you're going to be predisposed to dementia
or Alzheimer's or something like that. The Mocha test is a score out of
thirty. If you get at least twenty six or higher, then your brain
is considered normal. If you're below twenty six, that means we have a
problem. Now you need someone to do the test for you. You can
have just your friend or a family member you know, sit down with you
and perform the test, but it's always best to do it by a doctor.
And if you wait till the end of the show, we're going to
give you a special deal where you can get that done at one of my
offices in New Jersey, New York. So stick around just for the end
of the show. My New Jersey office is in Emerson, that's in Bergen
County, New Jersey, and that's sort of by paramis near all the malls
pretty close to there. Uh. It's a great office. We have all
this amazing technology. We have hyperbarrack oxygen chamber, and we got cold laser
therapy, and we have different what's called NSI, this Neurosensory integrator, which
is this big flat screen TV. We're doing all these brain games. We
have this caps machine, This balance board measures your balance and stability. We
have this VNG that measures your brain function which areas of functioning high and low.
We have different laser pointers and we do neurofeedback and qee G brain mappings.
And it's really great office with lots of great staff and great healthcare practitioners
that are here to get you to function best and field best. We have
another office New York City where we do all the same things. The qEEG
brain mapping that's one of the best tests that patients love in both of our
offices in New Jersey, New York. This is this test where you wear
a cap and it looks like a swimmer's cap, but it's got electrodes attached
to it and it measures all those brain waves. We were just talking about
the alpha, the beta, the theta, the delta, but based on
the location of where the brain mapping finds abnormal brain ways can tell us how
that's going to manifest in your real life. So it might say, oh,
you're going to be more prone to panic or fear, or negative thoughts,
or short term memory or working memory problems or long term memory problems,
or sleep deprivation or insomnia or anxiety or depression, or balance problems, or
eye problems or ear problems, or if you had a concussion or thyroid problems,
intestinal problems, if you have inflammation or heavy metal poisoning or viruses or
pathologies, or if you have any sensory problems or motor problems, if you
have any problems with worry or shifting tasks, or motivation or organization or planning,
or social behavior or language. This test literally picks up everything. It's
one of my favorite tests. We do. This test in both of our
offices. It's normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people that
call, text or email you could get this qEEG brain mapping for only twenty
one dollars. And there's no gimmick, there's no scam. You could literally
get the entire test, have it for your records. I'll go for I'll
go over at personally one on one with you. It's the qEEG brain mapping.
Normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people that call,
text or email you could get it for only twenty one dollars. Just call
or text six four six two two one six seven three eight, or you
can email info at kaplinbrainebody dot com. Just let them know that you listen
to my show and you want to be one of the first seven people to
get the qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. Now, if you
signed up for the VNG also you can do both tests, so you could
do both tests at the same day as well. Okay, and they're very
valuable. So I want to do the qEEG brain mapping to measure all your
different brain waves and it will tell us where the problem areas are what areas
need to be helped with. What areas are working very well. It's not
broke, we don't fix it. There's areas that can use improvement. We're
going to let that know. And the way we help your brain improve is
not with medication. It's not with injections, it's not with surgeries. It's
very holistic, integrated by getting to the root cause of it. So when
we do these brain mapping we can figure out the root cause of the problem
and not just treat symptoms with medication. Do not call my office if you
want a prescription medication. I am not the type of doctor that writes prescription
or performs surgeries. I'm a natural, holistic and integrative doctor who analyzes your
brain and your body and tells you where your weaknesses are so you could strengthen
them without any horrible drugs or risky surgeries and let the body heal itself.
The human body is amazing at healing it self. We just got to let
it work. You know, humans intervene too much. You know, sometimes
if you have a fever, your body's heating up to kill off your virus
or bacteria. But if you take a medication to bring down your fever,
then the virus and bacteria can thrive. Or sometimes you have pain because your
body is saying, hey, you're pinching a nerve. If you bend over,
that's going to cause dysfunction. But if you take a painkiller or a
muscle relaxer, now you're gonna be able to do a move that you shouldn't
be doing, and you're going to aggravate that nerve even more. Right,
if you have diabetes, I don't want to just write you a prescription for
me form in. That's not the type of doctor I am. I don't
write prescriptions. But I want to help you figure out how we can help
the diabetes naturally, because we don't want to get these neuropathies and need to
get amputated, or you need to you're gonna get blind, or because diabetes
can cause amputations neuropathies, blindness can cause dementia. Alzheimer's diabetes is dangerous and
it's very common. So we might have to exercise more, we might have
to change your diet. We might have to work on your vegus nerve,
work on the pancreas. We might have to work on intermint fitting and sleeping,
and we might have to work on nutrition and supplement. So there's a
lot of stuff that can be done, but you got to do it.
So when you come to me, be prepared to work. Don't be prepared
to just pop a pill. I don't want to hide the symptom. Want
to get to the root cause of the problem. And that's what we do
with capital and brain and body. Get to the root cause of the problem
and not just hide symptoms with medication. And medication could be great in an
emergency situation where it could save your life, like if you're having a stroke
or something and you need to take that blood dinner. If you don't go
to the hospital and take that blood dinner, you could die. And the
quicker you get that medicine the better. However, for chronic conditions, you
know, you got to be careful with the medicine. You know, if
you take these stating drugs for lipiatoire like called lipatore or these other stands you
know, for high cholesterol, that can actually cause dementia. So statin drugs
have been linked to dementia. So rather than take the medication to hide the
symptoms and now create new problems, for the medication. Let's see, Hey,
how can we lower our cholesterol naturally? Maybe we gotta reduce dairy products
or bread products. Maybe you gotta have less pizza and fried chicken. Maybe
you gotta stay away from all those croissants and bagel and cream, cheese,
toast and butter. There's so many ways naturally to bring your cholesterol exercise,
brain stimulation, but you gotta figure out where your problems are. So what
I would recommend for you, if you have not sure where to start,
is to sign up for an evaluation. During this evaluation, we'll check everything
from your blood pressure to your pulse rate, to your respiration. I'll listen
to your gut, your bowel sounds, I'll listen to your lung compacts.
We'll listen and check your balance, check your eyes, your ears, your
memory, your motor your sensory, your reflexes, your muscle strength, your
range of motion, your posture, your alignment, your circulation, your blood
flow. Takes about forty five minutes. This is a one on one evaluation
with me, doctor Eric Caplan. It's normally five hundred dollars, but for
the first seven people that call, text or email, you can get the
one on one evaluation with me where we go over a history, blood work,
brain tests, my evaluation that normally costs five hundred dollars. The first
seven people who can get it for only twenty one dollars. All you gotta
do is call, text or email six four six two two one six seven
three eight, or you can email info at Kaplinbrain Imbody dot com. Just
tell them you want to be one of the first seven people to do the
one on one with doctor Caplin for only twenty one dollars, and if you
want, you can sign up for all three tests. You could do the
one on one with me for twenty one dollars. You could do the q
EEG brain mapping for twenty one dollars, plus you could do the VNG for
only twenty one dollars, so you can do all three and the same day.
All you have to do is be one of the first seven people to
call, text or email. You can get our information from our website kaplandc
