WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.799 The following is a paid podcast. iHeartRadio's hosting of this podcast constitutes neither an 2 00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:11.000 endorsement of the products offered or the ideas expressed. Thank you for listening to 3 00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:15.720 boost your brain power where you will function better, feel better, and live 4 00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:20.719 a better life. But you have to do the work. My name is 5 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:26.800 doctor Eric Kaplan. Don't come to see me if you want a prescription for 6 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:31.399 medication, or you want a surgery, or you want a quick, easy 7 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.119 fix. I know a lot of people are looking for that magic pill that's 8 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:41.039 going to fix all their problems. But that is not what we do at 9 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:45.719 Kaplan Brain our Body. We teach you how to heal yourself, how to 10 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:51.520 rewire your own brain through a process called neuroplasticity, to strengthen your brain. 11 00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:56.399 Just like you could go to the gym to strengthen your muscles, you can 12 00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.039 actually do brain rehab to make your brain stronger. Now, it used to 13 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:06.159 be thought that when you have a neuk logic condition such as Parkinson's or a 14 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.719 stroke or Alzheimer's, that there's nothing you can do about it. That's the 15 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:17.159 old way of thinking. The new way of thinking in the new millennium is 16 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:23.079 that your brain can change your brain, can create more connections so it functions 17 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:29.519 at a higher level. Yes, it is true that we do lose ten 18 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:34.719 percent of our brain cells every decade of our life after the age of forty. 19 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:41.319 But what we want to do is make sure that the brain cells that 20 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:46.680 we do lose are the bad brain cells, and make sure we do our 21 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:51.920 best to take care of the good brain cells. Now, how do you 22 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:57.439 take care of the good brain cells? Well, number one is physical exercise. 23 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.879 Sitting is the new you smoking. So if you have a job where 24 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.480 you're sitting at the computer all day and you sit in the car on your 25 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.840 commute, where you sit on the subway or the bus or the train, 26 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.319 and then you come home after sitting at the computer all day, and then 27 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:20.639 you sit at the dinner table to eat dinner. And then after you eat 28 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.120 at the dinner table, then you go and sit on the couch and watching 29 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:29.759 netflicks. So if you're sitting on your commute, sitting at work, sitting 30 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.759 at dinner, sitting on the couch, after, your brain is gonna get 31 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:39.199 worse and worse and worse. And I saw this happen to my Grandma Dotty 32 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:46.000 when she moved to Florida. Her brain was functioning at a high level. 33 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:53.240 But year after year of living in Florida, her brain got worse. And 34 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.039 the reason was is she just sitting on the couch all day. She was 35 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.240 watching TV. Be you know, she didn't get up and do the activities 36 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.639 that she did when she lived in New York. When she lived in New 37 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.479 York, she would play tennis, she would play cards, she would go 38 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.360 dancing, she'd go out to all the shows. She'd always get dressed up 39 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.400 and put on her makeup and get her hair done and always was the hit 40 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:25.000 of the party, always having fun. But then when she moved down to 41 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.759 Florida, she lost all her you know, close family members that were nearby. 42 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:37.919 She didn't have their social group that she did. She didn't go out 43 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.840 like she did, she didn't have ways to exercise like she was in New 44 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.560 York. And every year it was slow, but her brain got worse and 45 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:52.840 worse. You know, you don't just develop dementor Alzheimer's overnight. It happens 46 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:58.520 over years, can happen over forty years. Actually. One of the first 47 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:06.439 signs of Alzheimer's loss of smell. The best test for checking your smell it's 48 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:13.360 called the peanut butter test. And the further you could smell the peanut butter 49 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.279 away from your nostril, the better. If you have to hold it so 50 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:23.480 close to your nostril that it's almost touching, that's not good. And you 51 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.399 have to check each nostril individual. So you got to close one nostril, 52 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.959 check the smell of that side, and then close the other nostril and check 53 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.959 the smell of that side. And the goal is to be able to hold 54 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:40.600 the peanut butter far away and still be able to smell it. If you 55 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:46.759 have an issue with smell, that could be a neurological disorder in the future. 56 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:53.639 And we're seeing lots of people called the COVID nineteen long haulers that has 57 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:58.120 still lost their smell and not have gotten it back. And it's been four 58 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:03.959 years. That good. The more years you have with loss of smell, 59 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:11.360 the worse your brain's gonna get. Smell goes directly into the frontal cortex, 60 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.480 and that's where dementia starts from. That's where your memory is, Your focus 61 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:20.720 is, your motivation, your organization, your planning, anxiety, depression, 62 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:31.279 social behavior, executive functions, punctuality, time management, aphasia's, add ADHD, 63 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:40.480 autism, dyslexia, Tourette's, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, they almost all start 64 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.839 from your frontal cortex. So if you want to prevent or you want to 65 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:49.040 reverse any of those conditions I just listened, you might have to work on 66 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:59.040 your frontal cortex. Your frontal cortex likes little finger movements. Your frontal cortex 67 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:06.279 like smell out. Your frontal cortex likes quick eye movements. So if you 68 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:12.160 could do exercise where you're doing quick eye movements at the same time of moving 69 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.600 your little fingers at the same time of smelling something, that's going to give 70 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:20.360 your frontal cortex a lot of input. And your brain's like a muscle. 71 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:26.240 You use it or you lose it. Just like you could do weightlifting to 72 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:31.360 make your muscle stronger, you could do frontal cortex exercises to improve your memory 73 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.680 and focus. But you gotta do the work. I'm not the doctor that 74 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:42.399 writes you prescription for ritilin or tells you to take puveragen to improve your memory. 75 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.800 There's no magic pill that's going to improve your memory. If there was, 76 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.279 everyone would just take this magic pill and no one would get dementia. 77 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:56.000 At Alzheimer's. There is no pill. Stop looking for some magic medicine or 78 00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.920 some supplement that's going to cure your brain condition. The truth is you have 79 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:05.680 to do it on your own. You could put in the work to strengthen 80 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:10.759 your brain, but you got to figure out where your weak areas of your 81 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:15.839 brain are. One of the best tests to figure out where the weak areas 82 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:23.720 of your brain are is called a q EEG brain mapping. A qEEG brain 83 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:28.519 mapping is a test where you wear a cap. It looks like a swimmer's 84 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.920 cap, and it has electrodes attached to it and all the different areas of 85 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.279 your brain and your front and your back and your side, and it measures 86 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.720 all your brain waves. It measures your alpha brain waves. Your alpha brain 87 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.000 waves is how you are normally, you know, pretty much on a daily 88 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:49.720 basis. Your beta brain waves. That's when you're really focused and concentrating. 89 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:54.319 You're, you know, presenting at work, or you're taking a test, 90 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:58.879 or you're reading a book, or you're trying to do some math and you 91 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:03.079 really got to focus and think. That's when you use your beta your theta 92 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.480 brain waves. That's when you're kind of day dreaming, just kind of whistling 93 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:09.519 in La la land, kind of looking out the window, listen to the 94 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:16.360 birds chirp. It just kind of day dreaming. That's your theta brain waves 95 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.279 and your delta brain waves. That's when you're sleeping, when you're relaxed, 96 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.439 when you're chilling out, when your brain isn'tenough to do anything. It's at 97 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.839 nighttime when you want to shut off, so you're get in that deep sleep. 98 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:35.320 That's your delta brain waves. So the qEEG brain mapping measures all these 99 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:41.399 different brain waves. Now more important than the type of brain wave that's abnormal 100 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:48.000 is the location of the abnormal brain wave. So based on the location of 101 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.960 the abnormal brain wave, we can analyze your brain and it could tell us 102 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:58.519 are you gonna have memory problems short term memory, sequential memory, long term? 103 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.840 Are you gonna have depression, anxiety, sleep deprivation, insomnia? Do 104 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:09.159 you have difficulties shifting tests, problems with motivation, organization planning? Do you 105 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.320 have dizziness or headaches? Do you have balance problems? You have floaters in 106 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.639 the eyes, ringing in the ears? Do you have a thyroid problem, 107 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.879 heavy metal poisoning, you have concussion? Do you have intestinal inflammation? You 108 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.320 have brain inflammation. Is there a problem with your dopamine or your aceto coaling? 109 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:30.919 The brain mapping picks up all of this. It's a great test. 110 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.600 It only takes about twenty to thirty minutes to do. It's non invasive, 111 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.279 there's no radiation, you don't need any contrast fluid. You don't have to 112 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:41.360 sit in some small loud tube like an MRI or a cat scan. There's 113 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.519 no risk in high reward. It tells us exactly which areas of the brain 114 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.000 are working well and which areas are not working well. And I could let 115 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:56.759 you know which areas are not working well and give you natural, holistic and 116 00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.639 integrative solutions that do not require any surge or any medication on how to increase 117 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.600 input into those weak areas through a process called neuroplasticity. Right, but if 118 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.639 you do the work, you could get the results. So we pride ourselves 119 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.360 in getting to the root cause of the problem rather than treating the symptoms. 120 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.720 Most doctors just try and hide the symptoms. But you don't want to hide 121 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.759 the symptoms. If you get to the root cause, you could get a 122 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:31.279 permanent fix. You know, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of 123 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:37.399 cure. All the power that made the body heals the body. We don't 124 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.039 need all this intervention. The body is very smart. Well. When you 125 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.840 have a fever, it's heating up to kill off the virus. We don't 126 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.879 always have to intervene and take medicine to bring the fever down. If you 127 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.080 have a back pain or neck pain, that's your body telling you, hey, 128 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.840 don't bend this way or don't lift this up. But if you take 129 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.759 a painkiller or a muscle relaxer, then you can actually further injure yourself. 130 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.440 Start listening to your body. Your body is the best doctor you have. 131 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.919 There's no one smarter than the human brain. But you got to listen to 132 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.519 your brain. Don't ignore it. It's gonna tell you if you're doing the 133 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.480 wrong things, but you got to listen to it. So what you want 134 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.120 to do is create good habits every day to boost your brain power to improve 135 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.639 your function. But sometimes you just don't know which habits to do. That's 136 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:35.639 where the qEEG brain mapping comes in. It's normally five hundred dollars, but 137 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.399 for the first seven people to call, text or email, you could get 138 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:45.399 this entire qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars, Just caller text six 139 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:50.440 four six two two one six seven three eight, or you can email us 140 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.879 at info at Caplan Brain and Body. Tell them that you want to be 141 00:11:54.919 --> 00:12:00.679 one of the first seven people to get the twenty one dollars q EEG mapping 142 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:05.600 so you can function better, feel better, and live a better life more 143 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.559 when we come back from the break. If you want to improve your brain 144 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.080 function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression, 145 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.279 anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches, brain fog, weight 146 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.000 loss, or simply want to maximize your human potential and prevent future diseases, 147 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.919 that this is the show for you. Don't misboost your brain power with doctor 148 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.440 Eric Kaplan and you will learn natural, integrative, and holistic approaches to modern 149 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:37.080 day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism, add concussion, 150 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:43.679 autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four posture pain, 151 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.679 TBI, skin and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan is most famous for getting to 152 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.519 the root cause of a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than 153 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.519 treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To contact the doctor Kaplin. 154 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.879 You can call his team at two one two six one two zero or visit 155 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:09.759 his website at kaplindc dot com. Function better, feel better, and live 156 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:15.519 a better life. That is how we do it at CAPLAN Brain and Body. 157 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.759 It's always about getting to the root cause of the problem. So I 158 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:26.080 am a functional neurologist different than a medical neurologist. If you have anxiety, 159 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.879 I don't write you a prescription for anti anxiety pill. If you have sleeping 160 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:33.919 troubles, I don't give you a sleeping pill. If you have headaches, 161 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.159 I don't give you a headache pill. If you have dizziness, I don't 162 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.600 give you a dizziness pill. I don't write you a prescription if you have 163 00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.919 Parkinson's or if you have Alzheimer's. But what I do do is make sure 164 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.320 that your brain functions at the highest level. And the way to do that 165 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:56.320 is through a process called neuroplasticity, where we rewire the brain, actually creating 166 00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:01.879 more connections between the different areas of the brain. If you want your brain 167 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:07.559 to function at the highest level, you have to create more connections. They're 168 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:13.000 called collaterals or synapses, and you could create more bridges, more synapses, 169 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:20.200 more connections, more collaterals by exercising your brain. When you exercise your brain, 170 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:28.960 you're going to increase input, increase neurotransmitters, increase blood and oxygen, 171 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:37.200 increase mitochondrial function, increase ATP production. But you gotta give the brain what 172 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:43.519 it needs fuel delivery. Fuel deliveries such as good food, eating all the 173 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.679 colors of the rainbow with your fruits and veggies. Staying away from the white 174 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:52.000 foods, the sugar, the wheat, the dairy, the cheese, the 175 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:58.360 yogurt, the milk, the ice cream, all the creamy sauces, the 176 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.519 ranch stretching the blue cheese. Get rid of all those white foods, all 177 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:09.519 the crackers and the cereals and the oatmeals, the rices and the potatoes, 178 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:15.600 all those colorless foods. They don't have the nutrients like all the fruits and 179 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.039 veggies with all those different colors. So stay away from the white foods and 180 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:24.440 increase all your colored foods. That's fuel delivery for your brain. And when 181 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.480 to do it is during the day. Your brain needs energy during the day, 182 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.759 so don't eat at night. Don't eat at seven eight o'clock at night 183 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:37.480 when your brain needs to chill and relax. Needs to get into that delta 184 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:43.080 brain waves. Those ram that deep sleep. We gotta get your circadium rhythms 185 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:48.480 going. But when you eat at night, it increases cortisol. Cortisol is 186 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:54.879 the stress hormone. And if you're increasing cortisol and the stress hormone at nighttime, 187 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.519 even if in your bed, you're not gonna be in a deep sleep, 188 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:00.519 it's gonna be a light sleep, not going to be a RESTful sleep. 189 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.159 You're gonna wake up feeling groggy that you need a cup of coffee to 190 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:10.679 get you going. That's not healthy, So stop eating at night. You 191 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.519 actually want four hours between your last meal or the last food you put in 192 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.879 your body in bedtime. So if you go to sleep ten pm, you 193 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:26.039 don't want to have any food or snacks after six pm. You also don't 194 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.159 want to have electronics after six pm. You don't want to be watching Netflix, 195 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:36.799 TV, the football game. You don't want to be on your computer. 196 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:38.159 You don't want to be on your cell phone. You don't want to 197 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:48.519 be on Instagram or Facebook or YouTube or Google. Unplug at night, turn 198 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:55.000 off your Wi Fi, put everything on airplane mode. Start to do things 199 00:16:55.039 --> 00:17:00.480 at night where don't use electronics. Start playing cards, start reading books, 200 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:07.960 start listening to podcasts, start taking up a habit. Take a dance class, 201 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:14.640 learn how to play musical instrument, join a book club, do some 202 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:22.079 sort of activity at night that does not involve electronics. So many groups and 203 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.839 classes and meetups you could do, Especially where we are New York City Tri 204 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:34.319 State area, there's activities every hour of the day. But stop sitting at 205 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:40.680 home on the couch. Let in your brain deteriorate. You want Alzheimer's in 206 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:45.799 dementia. Then keep sitting on the couch on your computer, watching TV, 207 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.319 all those things. That is a recipe for disaster. You want to get 208 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:55.759 good fuel delivery. Got to get up your button because when you start to 209 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.759 move your body, when you start to socialize, when you start to learn 210 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.480 new things, you're gonna get more blood and more oxygen to the brain. 211 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.359 That's fuel delivery. So not only eating all the colors in a rainbow, 212 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:14.799 but getting blood and oxygen. Getting physical exercise. Find a physical exercise that 213 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:19.079 you like to do, so that's not a chore or an errand you don't 214 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.119 want to be like, oh, I gotta go to the gym. I 215 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.519 want to find something that you like. Maybe it's a hip hop dance, 216 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:33.559 or maybe it's a pole dancing, or maybe it's a belly dancing. Maybe 217 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:38.240 it's pilates or yoga. Maybe it's the bar class. Maybe it's orange theory. 218 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:45.200 Maybe it's just going to some aerobics class. Maybe it's going to a 219 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:52.559 swimming class. Maybe it's going to get a tennis lesson. Just find something 220 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:57.279 that gets you active that you like doing. Could just be hiking with your 221 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:03.240 friends, could be ski or snowboarding, you know, it could be anything 222 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:08.240 that gets your body moving, biking, roller blading. I don't care what 223 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:12.039 it is, but it's got to move your body. You use it or 224 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.480 you lose it. And when you get exercise, not only is it good 225 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:21.519 for your brain to help dementia and Alzheimer's, it's good for your heart, 226 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:26.400 it's good for your gut, it's good for your skin, it's good for 227 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.880 your mood. It's good for your liver and your kidneys and your bladder. 228 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:36.559 Exercise helps with everything. I don't care if you have heart disease, cancer, 229 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:45.359 diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, we all need exercise, especially 230 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:52.640 the brain issues you got. Add you got ADHD, autism, dyslexia, 231 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.880 if you have some of these developmental delays touretts. We help a lot of 232 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:02.519 patients with that and we get their body moving movement. That is the key. 233 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.759 Also for these developmental delays such as autism, add ADHD, dyslexia, 234 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:15.799 turetts, you have to check what's called your primitive reflexes first. The primitive 235 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:22.720 reflexes are these reflexes that stay in the child's body after one year of age. 236 00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:30.720 That's abnormal. If these reflexes are still retained after you're one years old, 237 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:34.640 then that's abnormal brain development. And that would always be the first step 238 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:44.000 to rehabbing an underdeveloped brain is working on the primitive reflexes. The second step 239 00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:48.799 would be working on motor and sensory input, and the third step would be 240 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:59.480 behavioral, speech, physical cognitive therapy. Unfortunately, the way the modern medical 241 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:07.920 society is set up for autism and add and ADHD and pervasive disorders and sensory 242 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.319 processing disorders, as they do the occupational therapy, the physical therapy, the 243 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:19.440 speech therapy first. But if you actually did it in the right order where 244 00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:25.319 we focus on the primitive reflexes first, then the motor and sensory second, 245 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:30.079 and then the occupational physical speech third. That's going to get you the best 246 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:37.160 results. And a lot of children with developmental delays have poor eating habits that 247 00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:42.000 needs to be addressed as well to bring down the brain inflammation. And the 248 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:48.240 brain inflammation comes from dairy bread products, all the grains, all the processed 249 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:52.480 foods, all the cereals, and the crackers and the oatmeals, the yogurts 250 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.319 and everything in boxes and cans and bags, pizzas, and the fried chicken 251 00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:03.519 and the cheese and the sandwiches that causes brain inflammation. Stay away from sugar, 252 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:11.759 food dye, food preservatives, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors. When you 253 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.039 go to the supermarket, you want to stay on the outside of the supermarket 254 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:21.960 where everything is fresh, and it's better to buy organic. If you can't 255 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.319 afford to buy everything organic, make sure you buy the foods that you eat 256 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:33.039 the peel organic like strawberry you're eating the skin, grapes, blueberries, something 257 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.640 like avocado, banana, oranges, where you don't eat the peel or the 258 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:44.519 skin. Not as important to get organic because the pesticides and the herbicides don't 259 00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:49.200 dig into the fruit as much. When you're buying fish, you want to 260 00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.440 buy wildfish, don't buy farmed, raised fish. And you don't want to 261 00:22:53.440 --> 00:23:00.400 buy fish from the Pacific Ocean. Buy it from Iceland, nor from the 262 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:04.960 Mediterranean, from the Atlantic, stay away from the Pacific, you know, 263 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:11.599 from China, Japan, from Alaska salmon. We want Atlantic, we want 264 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:17.839 Norwegian, we want Icelandic, we want Mediterranean fish, and we want smaller 265 00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:22.839 fish. The smaller the fish, the less the mercury. Sardines, salmon, 266 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:30.880 those are the smaller fish, right, We don't want the big fish. 267 00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:34.720 The bigger the fish, the more mercury. Right. We want to 268 00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:41.720 stay from away from all heavy metals. Lead, aluminum, arsenic, they're 269 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.559 everywhere. Arsenics found in apple juice and brown rice. You know, Lead's 270 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:49.799 found not only in the old paint chips, but it's found in the waters 271 00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:56.160 and the pipes. Mercury is not only found in the fish, it's in 272 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:03.200 some people's fillings in their teeth. So you've got to figure out, you 273 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.599 know, where these chemicals are coming from. Sometimes people have mold in the 274 00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:15.480 house. Sometimes people use aluminum pans, aluminum foil, aluminum cans, aluminum 275 00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:21.599 cookwaar, aluminum storage. Have to stay away from aluminum. It's in deodorant, 276 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.319 they spray it, in the air, it's in the water. There's 277 00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.880 aluminum everywhere and that's one of the leading causes of Alzheimer's disease. But there 278 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:37.519 are natural ways to detox to klate heavy metals without any severe coulation therapy. 279 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.559 There's good, natural, holistic ways and that's what we teach our patients at 280 00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.480 Caplin Brain and Body.

If you do not put in the work, you will get worse. 300 00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:23.720 There's two options with your health. Either you're gonna get better, you're 301 00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:29.480 gonna get worse. And the way to get better is to create good habits 302 00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:34.240 over and over and over again. You got to pick your five vital habits 303 00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:40.920 that are what I call non negotiables. Every day you gotta do it, 304 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:47.680 no matter what. Every day I'm gonna exercise. I don't care if it's 305 00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:52.240 literally just running down the block one time. I don't care if it's doing 306 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.720 just ten push ups and ten sit ups. But every day gonna do something 307 00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:03.680 Most days it's an hour work out. Some days it's a minute workout. 308 00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:08.480 But every day there is some sort of exercise. That's a non negotiable. 309 00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:17.440 Number two is cold water at the end of my shower. Non negotiable. 310 00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:23.400 I don't care if it's below twenty degrees outside. Your house is freezing. 311 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.519 You do not want cold. You turn it on, so you end your 312 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:36.279 shower in cold. That's a non negotiable for me. No matter how I 313 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:45.519 feel, I always end my shower in cold. Number three is drinking water 314 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.079 first thing on the morning, on an empty stomach. It's a non negotiable. 315 00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:57.799 Drink my water, a pinch of pink Maley and salt or Celtic salt 316 00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:06.599 or Spanish cave salt. Squeeze some lemon or lime for some flavor on an 317 00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:11.640 empty stomach. You gotta keep your body hydrated. You got to keep your 318 00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:15.119 brain hydrated. If you don't do it for brain, do it for aesthetics. 319 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:21.279 Helps prevent wrinkles, makes your skin look nice, makes your hair good, 320 00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.920 your nails better. At least do it for esthetic purposes. If you're 321 00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:27.920 not going to do it for health purposes. But think about your brain as 322 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:33.680 if it were a grape. When a grape is dehydrated, it shrivels up 323 00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:41.799 to a raisin. Your brain, when dehydrated, will shrivel up. You 324 00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.960 want your brain nice and big and juicy and soft. You don't want to 325 00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:52.720 shrivel up brain. That's a recipe for dementia, Alzheimer's, parkinsons. We 326 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.880 don't want that. So keep your body and brain hydrated. You're supposed to 327 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:03.240 drink half your body weight announces every If you weigh one hundred and fifty pounds, 328 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.920 you have to drink seventy five ounces of sole water every day. Drink 329 00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.119 it on an empty stomach, right in the morning when you wake up, 330 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:17.599 a half hour before each meal, and at night as well. You want 331 00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:22.880 to prevent Alzheimer's dementia, you stay hydrated. It's one of the easiest solutions. 332 00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:26.440 Just make sure your water is clean. If you drink a lot of 333 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:32.720 plastic water bottles, you're gonna be eating a lot of plastic. If you 334 00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:37.960 drink out of tap water, you're gonna be getting certain chemicals, even medication 335 00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:49.000 heavy metals. There's a lot of crap in the drinking water. If you 336 00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:55.279 do get a filter, something like a reverse osmosis that's good. We just 337 00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:59.519 want to mineralize it. Get some of that pinkumeline sort or the Celtic salt. 338 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.880 Right, So if you get distilled water, you want to mineralize it. 339 00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:11.079 If you get that filter, make sure you're stored in glass. If 340 00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.480 you fill up your water bottle, make sure it's a glass water bottle or 341 00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:21.160 a stainless steel. Stay away from the plastic containers. We're finding more and 342 00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:26.920 more how harmful these plastics are to our health. People are drinking and eating 343 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:36.119 more plastic than ever before. So make the right choice. Stop buying plastic 344 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:41.240 water bottles. You will save your health, you will save lots of money, 345 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:48.839 you will save the environment. It's a no brainer. The only upfront 346 00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:56.920 cause is buying that filter. After that you make up your money because you 347 00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:04.559 don't have to buy water bottles anymore. And when you have a glass water 348 00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:11.440 bottle, you could just have it covered in like a rubber covering, so 349 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.200 if you drop it it doesn't break. Or you get a stainless steel, 350 00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:22.279 those aren't gonna break if you drop it, all right, So water is 351 00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:25.920 very important, but most of those waters out there are bad, you know, 352 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:36.160 Desani aquafina, poling springs, a lot of these waters are acidic. 353 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:45.880 Even the alkaline waters, the smart waters, the electrolyte waters, they're not 354 00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:55.559 healthy either. So you gotta be very careful of where you're getting your water 355 00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.960 from. All right now, it's not like we're in a third world country. 356 00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:04.200 It's not like, you know, we're in India where you're gonna drink 357 00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:08.920 dirty water and get polio. It doesn't happen. That's how people get polios 358 00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:17.039 from dirty water. So once in America, they clean the water, they 359 00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:24.640 improve the sanitation, polio went away. So it's about cleaning the water. 360 00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:31.400 Lots of diseases go away when you clean your water. Now, the problem 361 00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:38.359 is we're creating all these new diseases from all the chemicals we're using, whether 362 00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:46.960 it's the pesticides and herbicides that they use on their food, or they inject 363 00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:57.519 the animals with steroids and antibiotics and hormones, or they feed the animals genetically 364 00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:04.240 modified corn. You gotta be very careful what you put in your body. 365 00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:09.119 You are what you eat. If you eat a stressed cow, an anxious 366 00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:14.920 cow, a depressed cow, you're gonna become anxious and depressed. If you 367 00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:17.759 eat an anxious and depressed fish, you're going to become anxious and depressed. 368 00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:23.759 If you eat an anxious or depressed chicken, you will become anxious or depressed. 369 00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:29.359 You are what you eat. So if you have these animals that are 370 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:34.680 raised in miserable conditions, they're separated from their family, they're stuck in these 371 00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:40.000 little cages, they're fed these horrible diets, they have no exercise. They're 372 00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:44.759 all depressed, they're all anxious, they're overweight, they're full of drugs. 373 00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:52.119 You think that's a healthy food to eat. No, it's not. You 374 00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:54.960 might eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, but if they're full of all 375 00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:04.759 these chemicals and pesticides and herbicides, you're creating more dysfunction. Roundup or glife 376 00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:12.480 estate, which is banned in almost all countries, is everywhere in America's on 377 00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.440 the fruit, it's on the veggies, it's on the grass, it's on 378 00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:21.719 the lawn. Like the landscapers spread everywhere, the farmers spread it everywhere. 379 00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:30.800 It's a poison. It causes cancer. Monsanto slash Bayer who owns it. 380 00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:38.280 They keep losing all these lawsuits of people who are dying of cancer. Yet 381 00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:45.960 it's still not banned. In a country like Japan, if there's a product 382 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:53.199 that kills somebody, they ban it here. Nope, everyone's greedy, so 383 00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:58.679 it takes a lot for them to ban from the FDA, to ban a 384 00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:07.679 certain drug or a food because it makes people money. And if there is 385 00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:15.119 something that's going to take away money from the pharmaceutical companies, a lot of 386 00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:20.679 times, the FDA won't approve it. So they won't ban the stuff that 387 00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:25.639 makes you sick, and they won't approve stuff that makes you healthy. I 388 00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:32.679 wonder why that is. Maybe because the FDA is not actually a government institution. 389 00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:43.480 Maybe it's influenced by private corporations more than our own government. A lot 390 00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:49.719 of the funding from the FDA comes from pharmaceutical companies, comes from companies who 391 00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:57.360 are incentivized for you to use these toxic cheminals and take these harmful medications and 392 00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:06.559 drugs. So a lot of people get rich when you're sick. Right when 393 00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:13.440 you're sick, a lot of doctor visits, a lot of testing, MRIs 394 00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:22.639 cat scans, a lot of hospital visits, a lot of pharmaceutical purchases, 395 00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:32.280 a lot of surgeries, a lot of examinations, follow ups, and there 396 00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:37.880 has to be medication to take care of the side effects of the medication. 397 00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:45.880 It's a vicious cycle. There's lots of people that get rich off you being 398 00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:54.400 sick, so there's a lot of incentive for you to be sick and being 399 00:36:54.719 --> 00:37:01.599 on the computer, watching TV, scrolling up on the internet. They're gonna 400 00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:07.559 have you make choices that make you sick. Never buy anything on a commercial. 401 00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:13.760 What's on a commercial Dorito's, frosted flakes, bud Light, Coca Cola, 402 00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:22.199 McDonald's medications. You'll never see anything healthy on a commercial. Have you 403 00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:32.159 ever seen a KL commercial, a broccoli commercial, a cucumber commercial, a 404 00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:37.960 carrot commercial. No, you don't see them because people know they're healthy. 405 00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:43.000 You'll see an orange juice commercial, which is not healthy. You will not 406 00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:51.920 see an orange commercial, which is healthy. You'll see canned peas from Green 407 00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:59.159 Giant, which is unhealthy. But you won't see organic, natural string beans 408 00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:04.880 on a commercial, so because people know it's healthy. You'll see frosted flakes 409 00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:12.119 on a commercial, right, but you won't see celery on a commercial. 410 00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:20.039 You won't see spinach on a commercial. Everything on a commercial is bad. 411 00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:25.119 They're trying to convince you that's healthy. Oh, you'll see cheese and yogurt 412 00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:31.440 and Hi these celebrities with their milk mustache and wonderbread, and you know Bolger's 413 00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:40.639 coffee and you know lemonade and snapple and all these things that are terrible. 414 00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:45.760 Snapple made from the best stuff on earth. You ever see those ingredients? 415 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:49.159 How could they say made from the best stuff on earth? How could they 416 00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:54.800 say that's all natural? And even the unhealthy. Food is worse in America 417 00:38:54.920 --> 00:39:00.519 than it is in other countries because all these chemicals are banned in other countries. 418 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:07.800 An oreo cookie in America is worse than an oreo cookie in Germany. 419 00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:14.679 Frosted flakes in America is worse than frosted flakes in Italy. Eminem's in America 420 00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:22.079 is worse than Eminem's in Japan. Everything is worse in America. Third world 421 00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:27.119 countries have healthier food than us because everything's organic. They have their chickens in 422 00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:31.199 their backyard. They got their mango trees and their banana trees. You just 423 00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:36.599 pick it from the yard. The closer to the earth, the better, 424 00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:43.719 The more processed the worst. Follow these suggestions if you want to function better, 425 00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:47.360 feel better, and live a better life more.

Don't focus on avoiding stuff that makes you 445 00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:28.840 worse, but focus on doing more of the stuff that makes you feel better. 446 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.719 Your mind is very powerful. You don't want to say, oh, 447 00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:37.320 I want to prevent Bolzheimer's disease. You want to say I want to improve 448 00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:45.199 my memory. You don't want to say I want to get rid of my 449 00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:54.159 insomnia. You say I want to sleep better. You don't say I don't 450 00:41:54.159 --> 00:42:04.000 want to get COVID nineteen. You say I want to improve my immune system. 451 00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:09.599 Don't put these bad words out there. Don't say the word cancer. 452 00:42:09.719 --> 00:42:16.360 Don't say the word Alzheimer's dementia. Don't put it in the universe. You 453 00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:20.119 don't want to be driving and say, oh, I'm late for work. 454 00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:27.119 I hope there's no traffic. That's when you get stuck in traffic. What 455 00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:31.719 you want to say is, AH, I hope the roads are clear. 456 00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:37.679 You don't want to say I hope it doesn't rain. Do you want to 457 00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:44.519 say I wish the sun will come out? Change your mindset, start being 458 00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:49.480 more positive, and stop hanging out with negative people who are always complaining. 459 00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:58.880 A negative thought or statement is five times powerful than a positive one. So 460 00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:01.559 in dealing with you know, your spouse or your kids, or your boss 461 00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:06.079 or your employee, or your teacher or your student, whoever it is, 462 00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:14.599 give them five compliments before one criticism. You know, if I'm dealing with 463 00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:19.679 my kid, Oh, great job brushing your teeth today, great job making 464 00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:24.440 your bed, good job on that math test, you did great at basketball 465 00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:29.920 practice. I love how you said please and thank you when we were out 466 00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:36.880 for dinner. That's five compliments. Now we could say, hey, can't 467 00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:40.280 you be a little bit nicer to your little brother? So now we could 468 00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:45.559 work on something that they want to improve. But if you're always saying, 469 00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:50.880 hey, you didn't pick up your socks, you're always picking on your little 470 00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:54.440 brother. You forgot to wash your hands before dinner. Right. If you're 471 00:43:54.440 --> 00:44:02.199 always criticizing, then that's what they were member. But when you give them 472 00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:07.360 five compliments, then they're more likely to listen to you and they're not gonna 473 00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:10.360 ignore you because everything that comes out of your mouth isn't a negative statement. 474 00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:16.880 If everything is negative, people zone you out. But if most things are 475 00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:20.599 positive, they're gonna hear what you say, They're gonna listen, they're gonna 476 00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:28.000 pay attention, and then when you have to criticize them or give them some 477 00:44:28.119 --> 00:44:32.400 helpful advice, they're going to listen a little bit more. And it's even 478 00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:43.320 more powerful when you do it for yourself. Don't criticize yourself. Tell yourself 479 00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:46.159 why you're healthy. I don't care if it's hey. I could see, 480 00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:50.920 I can hear, I can pop, I can pee, I can talk, 481 00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:57.760 I can walk. Give yourself five compliments about your health before you start 482 00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:02.079 working on that one negative thing. I want my head to feel better. 483 00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:07.280 I want more energy. I want better sleep, I want better memory, 484 00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:15.320 want better focus. I want to do better at shifting task. I want 485 00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:21.239 to have better balance, better stability. I want to have a better mood. 486 00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:27.559 Create that rewire your brain. But you got to figure out which areas 487 00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:31.119 aren't functioning properly. One of the best tests to figure that out. It's 488 00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:37.320 called a VNG or a VOG. It's video nostography. It's this test where 489 00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:43.199 you wear these infrared goggles that follow a light and it goes fast and slow 490 00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:45.159 and up and down, and left and right and with head turns and went 491 00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:49.440 light and I went dark. And we're able to analyze which areas of the 492 00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:53.119 brain are overactive and which areas are underactive. It takes about twenty to thirty 493 00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:59.280 minutes.
