The following is a paid podcast. iHeartRadio's hosting of this podcast constitutes neither an
endorsement of the products offered or the ideas expressed. Thank you for listening to
boost your brain power where you will function better, feel better, and live
a better life. But you have to do the work. My name is
doctor Eric Kaplan. Don't come to see me if you want a prescription for
medication, or you want a surgery, or you want a quick, easy
fix. I know a lot of people are looking for that magic pill that's
going to fix all their problems. But that is not what we do at
Kaplan Brain our Body. We teach you how to heal yourself, how to
rewire your own brain through a process called neuroplasticity, to strengthen your brain.
Just like you could go to the gym to strengthen your muscles, you can
actually do brain rehab to make your brain stronger. Now, it used to
be thought that when you have a neuk logic condition such as Parkinson's or a
stroke or Alzheimer's, that there's nothing you can do about it. That's the
old way of thinking. The new way of thinking in the new millennium is
that your brain can change your brain, can create more connections so it functions
at a higher level. Yes, it is true that we do lose ten
percent of our brain cells every decade of our life after the age of forty.
But what we want to do is make sure that the brain cells that
we do lose are the bad brain cells, and make sure we do our
best to take care of the good brain cells. Now, how do you
take care of the good brain cells? Well, number one is physical exercise.
Sitting is the new you smoking. So if you have a job where
you're sitting at the computer all day and you sit in the car on your
commute, where you sit on the subway or the bus or the train,
and then you come home after sitting at the computer all day, and then
you sit at the dinner table to eat dinner. And then after you eat
at the dinner table, then you go and sit on the couch and watching
netflicks. So if you're sitting on your commute, sitting at work, sitting
at dinner, sitting on the couch, after, your brain is gonna get
worse and worse and worse. And I saw this happen to my Grandma Dotty
when she moved to Florida. Her brain was functioning at a high level.
But year after year of living in Florida, her brain got worse. And
the reason was is she just sitting on the couch all day. She was
watching TV. Be you know, she didn't get up and do the activities
that she did when she lived in New York. When she lived in New
York, she would play tennis, she would play cards, she would go
dancing, she'd go out to all the shows. She'd always get dressed up
and put on her makeup and get her hair done and always was the hit
of the party, always having fun. But then when she moved down to
Florida, she lost all her you know, close family members that were nearby.
She didn't have their social group that she did. She didn't go out
like she did, she didn't have ways to exercise like she was in New
York. And every year it was slow, but her brain got worse and
worse. You know, you don't just develop dementor Alzheimer's overnight. It happens
over years, can happen over forty years. Actually. One of the first
signs of Alzheimer's loss of smell. The best test for checking your smell it's
called the peanut butter test. And the further you could smell the peanut butter
away from your nostril, the better. If you have to hold it so
close to your nostril that it's almost touching, that's not good. And you
have to check each nostril individual. So you got to close one nostril,
check the smell of that side, and then close the other nostril and check
the smell of that side. And the goal is to be able to hold
the peanut butter far away and still be able to smell it. If you
have an issue with smell, that could be a neurological disorder in the future.
And we're seeing lots of people called the COVID nineteen long haulers that has
still lost their smell and not have gotten it back. And it's been four
years. That good. The more years you have with loss of smell,
the worse your brain's gonna get. Smell goes directly into the frontal cortex,
and that's where dementia starts from. That's where your memory is, Your focus
is, your motivation, your organization, your planning, anxiety, depression,
social behavior, executive functions, punctuality, time management, aphasia's, add ADHD,
autism, dyslexia, Tourette's, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, they almost all start
from your frontal cortex. So if you want to prevent or you want to
reverse any of those conditions I just listened, you might have to work on
your frontal cortex. Your frontal cortex likes little finger movements. Your frontal cortex
like smell out. Your frontal cortex likes quick eye movements. So if you
could do exercise where you're doing quick eye movements at the same time of moving
your little fingers at the same time of smelling something, that's going to give
your frontal cortex a lot of input. And your brain's like a muscle.
You use it or you lose it. Just like you could do weightlifting to
make your muscle stronger, you could do frontal cortex exercises to improve your memory
and focus. But you gotta do the work. I'm not the doctor that
writes you prescription for ritilin or tells you to take puveragen to improve your memory.
There's no magic pill that's going to improve your memory. If there was,
everyone would just take this magic pill and no one would get dementia.
At Alzheimer's. There is no pill. Stop looking for some magic medicine or
some supplement that's going to cure your brain condition. The truth is you have
to do it on your own. You could put in the work to strengthen
your brain, but you got to figure out where your weak areas of your
brain are. One of the best tests to figure out where the weak areas
of your brain are is called a q EEG brain mapping. A qEEG brain
mapping is a test where you wear a cap. It looks like a swimmer's
cap, and it has electrodes attached to it and all the different areas of
your brain and your front and your back and your side, and it measures
all your brain waves. It measures your alpha brain waves. Your alpha brain
waves is how you are normally, you know, pretty much on a daily
basis. Your beta brain waves. That's when you're really focused and concentrating.
You're, you know, presenting at work, or you're taking a test,
or you're reading a book, or you're trying to do some math and you
really got to focus and think. That's when you use your beta your theta
brain waves. That's when you're kind of day dreaming, just kind of whistling
in La la land, kind of looking out the window, listen to the
birds chirp. It just kind of day dreaming. That's your theta brain waves
and your delta brain waves. That's when you're sleeping, when you're relaxed,
when you're chilling out, when your brain isn'tenough to do anything. It's at
nighttime when you want to shut off, so you're get in that deep sleep.
That's your delta brain waves. So the qEEG brain mapping measures all these
different brain waves. Now more important than the type of brain wave that's abnormal
is the location of the abnormal brain wave. So based on the location of
the abnormal brain wave, we can analyze your brain and it could tell us
are you gonna have memory problems short term memory, sequential memory, long term?
Are you gonna have depression, anxiety, sleep deprivation, insomnia? Do
you have difficulties shifting tests, problems with motivation, organization planning? Do you
have dizziness or headaches? Do you have balance problems? You have floaters in
the eyes, ringing in the ears? Do you have a thyroid problem,
heavy metal poisoning, you have concussion? Do you have intestinal inflammation? You
have brain inflammation. Is there a problem with your dopamine or your aceto coaling?
The brain mapping picks up all of this. It's a great test.
It only takes about twenty to thirty minutes to do. It's non invasive,
there's no radiation, you don't need any contrast fluid. You don't have to
sit in some small loud tube like an MRI or a cat scan. There's
no risk in high reward. It tells us exactly which areas of the brain
are working well and which areas are not working well. And I could let
you know which areas are not working well and give you natural, holistic and
integrative solutions that do not require any surge or any medication on how to increase
input into those weak areas through a process called neuroplasticity. Right, but if
you do the work, you could get the results. So we pride ourselves
in getting to the root cause of the problem rather than treating the symptoms.
Most doctors just try and hide the symptoms. But you don't want to hide
the symptoms. If you get to the root cause, you could get a
permanent fix. You know, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure. All the power that made the body heals the body. We don't
need all this intervention. The body is very smart. Well. When you
have a fever, it's heating up to kill off the virus. We don't
always have to intervene and take medicine to bring the fever down. If you
have a back pain or neck pain, that's your body telling you, hey,
don't bend this way or don't lift this up. But if you take
a painkiller or a muscle relaxer, then you can actually further injure yourself.
Start listening to your body. Your body is the best doctor you have.
There's no one smarter than the human brain. But you got to listen to
your brain. Don't ignore it. It's gonna tell you if you're doing the
wrong things, but you got to listen to it. So what you want
to do is create good habits every day to boost your brain power to improve
your function. But sometimes you just don't know which habits to do. That's
where the qEEG brain mapping comes in. It's normally five hundred dollars, but
for the first seven people to call, text or email, you could get
this entire qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars, Just caller text six
four six two two one six seven three eight, or you can email us
at info at Caplan Brain and Body. Tell them that you want to be
one of the first seven people to get the twenty one dollars q EEG mapping
so you can function better, feel better, and live a better life more
when we come back from the break. 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 misboost your brain power with doctor
Eric Kaplan and you will learn natural, integrative, and holistic approaches to modern
day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism, add concussion,
autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four posture pain,
TBI, skin and digestive problems. 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 the doctor Kaplin.
You can call his team at two one two six one two zero or visit
his website at kaplindc dot com. Function better, feel better, and live
a better life. That is how we do it at CAPLAN Brain and Body.
It's always about getting to the root cause of the problem. So I
am a functional neurologist different than a medical neurologist. If you have anxiety,
I don't write you a prescription for anti anxiety pill. If you have sleeping
troubles, I don't give you a sleeping pill. If you have headaches,
I don't give you a headache pill. If you have dizziness, I don't
give you a dizziness pill. I don't write you a prescription if you have
Parkinson's or if you have Alzheimer's. But what I do do is make sure
that your brain functions at the highest level. And the way to do that
is through a process called neuroplasticity, where we rewire the brain, actually creating
more connections between the different areas of the brain. If you want your brain
to function at the highest level, you have to create more connections. They're
called collaterals or synapses, and you could create more bridges, more synapses,
more connections, more collaterals by exercising your brain. When you exercise your brain,
you're going to increase input, increase neurotransmitters, increase blood and oxygen,
increase mitochondrial function, increase ATP production. But you gotta give the brain what
it needs fuel delivery. Fuel deliveries such as good food, eating all the
colors of the rainbow with your fruits and veggies. Staying away from the white
foods, the sugar, the wheat, the dairy, the cheese, the
yogurt, the milk, the ice cream, all the creamy sauces, the
ranch stretching the blue cheese. Get rid of all those white foods, all
the crackers and the cereals and the oatmeals, the rices and the potatoes,
all those colorless foods. They don't have the nutrients like all the fruits and
veggies with all those different colors. So stay away from the white foods and
increase all your colored foods. That's fuel delivery for your brain. And when
to do it is during the day. Your brain needs energy during the day,
so don't eat at night. Don't eat at seven eight o'clock at night
when your brain needs to chill and relax. Needs to get into that delta
brain waves. Those ram that deep sleep. We gotta get your circadium rhythms
going. But when you eat at night, it increases cortisol. Cortisol is
the stress hormone. And if you're increasing cortisol and the stress hormone at nighttime,
even if in your bed, you're not gonna be in a deep sleep,
it's gonna be a light sleep, not going to be a RESTful sleep.
You're gonna wake up feeling groggy that you need a cup of coffee to
get you going. That's not healthy, So stop eating at night. You
actually want four hours between your last meal or the last food you put in
your body in bedtime. So if you go to sleep ten pm, you
don't want to have any food or snacks after six pm. You also don't
want to have electronics after six pm. You don't want to be watching Netflix,
TV, the football game. You don't want to be on your computer.
You don't want to be on your cell phone. You don't want to
be on Instagram or Facebook or YouTube or Google. Unplug at night, turn
off your Wi Fi, put everything on airplane mode. Start to do things
at night where don't use electronics. Start playing cards, start reading books,
start listening to podcasts, start taking up a habit. Take a dance class,
learn how to play musical instrument, join a book club, do some
sort of activity at night that does not involve electronics. So many groups and
classes and meetups you could do, Especially where we are New York City Tri
State area, there's activities every hour of the day. But stop sitting at
home on the couch. Let in your brain deteriorate. You want Alzheimer's in
dementia. Then keep sitting on the couch on your computer, watching TV,
all those things. That is a recipe for disaster. You want to get
good fuel delivery. Got to get up your button because when you start to
move your body, when you start to socialize, when you start to learn
new things, you're gonna get more blood and more oxygen to the brain.
That's fuel delivery. So not only eating all the colors in a rainbow,
but getting blood and oxygen. Getting physical exercise. Find a physical exercise that
you like to do, so that's not a chore or an errand you don't
want to be like, oh, I gotta go to the gym. I
want to find something that you like. Maybe it's a hip hop dance,
or maybe it's a pole dancing, or maybe it's a belly dancing. Maybe
it's pilates or yoga. Maybe it's the bar class. Maybe it's orange theory.
Maybe it's just going to some aerobics class. Maybe it's going to a
swimming class. Maybe it's going to get a tennis lesson. Just find something
that gets you active that you like doing. Could just be hiking with your
friends, could be ski or snowboarding, you know, it could be anything
that gets your body moving, biking, roller blading. I don't care what
it is, but it's got to move your body. You use it or
you lose it. And when you get exercise, not only is it good
for your brain to help dementia and Alzheimer's, it's good for your heart,
it's good for your gut, it's good for your skin, it's good for
your mood. It's good for your liver and your kidneys and your bladder.
Exercise helps with everything. I don't care if you have heart disease, cancer,
diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, we all need exercise, especially
the brain issues you got. Add you got ADHD, autism, dyslexia,
if you have some of these developmental delays touretts. We help a lot of
patients with that and we get their body moving movement. That is the key.
Also for these developmental delays such as autism, add ADHD, dyslexia,
turetts, you have to check what's called your primitive reflexes first. The primitive
reflexes are these reflexes that stay in the child's body after one year of age.
That's abnormal. If these reflexes are still retained after you're one years old,
then that's abnormal brain development. And that would always be the first step
to rehabbing an underdeveloped brain is working on the primitive reflexes. The second step
would be working on motor and sensory input, and the third step would be
behavioral, speech, physical cognitive therapy. Unfortunately, the way the modern medical
society is set up for autism and add and ADHD and pervasive disorders and sensory
processing disorders, as they do the occupational therapy, the physical therapy, the
speech therapy first. But if you actually did it in the right order where
we focus on the primitive reflexes first, then the motor and sensory second,
and then the occupational physical speech third. That's going to get you the best
results. And a lot of children with developmental delays have poor eating habits that
needs to be addressed as well to bring down the brain inflammation. And the
brain inflammation comes from dairy bread products, all the grains, all the processed
foods, all the cereals, and the crackers and the oatmeals, the yogurts
and everything in boxes and cans and bags, pizzas, and the fried chicken
and the cheese and the sandwiches that causes brain inflammation. Stay away from sugar,
food dye, food preservatives, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors. When you
go to the supermarket, you want to stay on the outside of the supermarket
where everything is fresh, and it's better to buy organic. If you can't
afford to buy everything organic, make sure you buy the foods that you eat
the peel organic like strawberry you're eating the skin, grapes, blueberries, something
like avocado, banana, oranges, where you don't eat the peel or the
skin. Not as important to get organic because the pesticides and the herbicides don't
dig into the fruit as much. When you're buying fish, you want to
buy wildfish, don't buy farmed, raised fish. And you don't want to
buy fish from the Pacific Ocean. Buy it from Iceland, nor from the
Mediterranean, from the Atlantic, stay away from the Pacific, you know,
from China, Japan, from Alaska salmon. We want Atlantic, we want
Norwegian, we want Icelandic, we want Mediterranean fish, and we want smaller
fish. The smaller the fish, the less the mercury. Sardines, salmon,
those are the smaller fish, right, We don't want the big fish.
The bigger the fish, the more mercury. Right. We want to
stay from away from all heavy metals. Lead, aluminum, arsenic, they're
everywhere. Arsenics found in apple juice and brown rice. You know, Lead's
found not only in the old paint chips, but it's found in the waters
and the pipes. Mercury is not only found in the fish, it's in
some people's fillings in their teeth. So you've got to figure out, you
know, where these chemicals are coming from. Sometimes people have mold in the
house. Sometimes people use aluminum pans, aluminum foil, aluminum cans, aluminum
cookwaar, aluminum storage. Have to stay away from aluminum. It's in deodorant,
they spray it, in the air, it's in the water. There's
aluminum everywhere and that's one of the leading causes of Alzheimer's disease. But there
are natural ways to detox to klate heavy metals without any severe coulation therapy.
There's good, natural, holistic ways and that's what we teach our patients at
Caplin Brain and Body. We have two offices, one in Manhattan and one
in New Jersey. We also are on social media. If you want to

results. If you do not put in the work, you will get worse.
There's two options with your health. Either you're gonna get better, you're
gonna get worse. And the way to get better is to create good habits
over and over and over again. You got to pick your five vital habits
that are what I call non negotiables. Every day you gotta do it,
no matter what. Every day I'm gonna exercise. I don't care if it's
literally just running down the block one time. I don't care if it's doing
just ten push ups and ten sit ups. But every day gonna do something
Most days it's an hour work out. Some days it's a minute workout.
But every day there is some sort of exercise. That's a non negotiable.
Number two is cold water at the end of my shower. Non negotiable.
I don't care if it's below twenty degrees outside. Your house is freezing.
You do not want cold. You turn it on, so you end your
shower in cold. That's a non negotiable for me. No matter how I
feel, I always end my shower in cold. Number three is drinking water
first thing on the morning, on an empty stomach. It's a non negotiable.
Drink my water, a pinch of pink Maley and salt or Celtic salt
or Spanish cave salt. Squeeze some lemon or lime for some flavor on an
empty stomach. You gotta keep your body hydrated. You got to keep your
brain hydrated. If you don't do it for brain, do it for aesthetics.
Helps prevent wrinkles, makes your skin look nice, makes your hair good,
your nails better. At least do it for esthetic purposes. If you're
not going to do it for health purposes. But think about your brain as
if it were a grape. When a grape is dehydrated, it shrivels up
to a raisin. Your brain, when dehydrated, will shrivel up. You
want your brain nice and big and juicy and soft. You don't want to
shrivel up brain. That's a recipe for dementia, Alzheimer's, parkinsons. We
don't want that. So keep your body and brain hydrated. You're supposed to
drink half your body weight announces every If you weigh one hundred and fifty pounds,
you have to drink seventy five ounces of sole water every day. Drink
it on an empty stomach, right in the morning when you wake up,
a half hour before each meal, and at night as well. You want
to prevent Alzheimer's dementia, you stay hydrated. It's one of the easiest solutions.
Just make sure your water is clean. If you drink a lot of
plastic water bottles, you're gonna be eating a lot of plastic. If you
drink out of tap water, you're gonna be getting certain chemicals, even medication
heavy metals. There's a lot of crap in the drinking water. If you
do get a filter, something like a reverse osmosis that's good. We just
want to mineralize it. Get some of that pinkumeline sort or the Celtic salt.
Right, So if you get distilled water, you want to mineralize it.
If you get that filter, make sure you're stored in glass. If
you fill up your water bottle, make sure it's a glass water bottle or
a stainless steel. Stay away from the plastic containers. We're finding more and
more how harmful these plastics are to our health. People are drinking and eating
more plastic than ever before. So make the right choice. Stop buying plastic
water bottles. You will save your health, you will save lots of money,
you will save the environment. It's a no brainer. The only upfront
cause is buying that filter. After that you make up your money because you
don't have to buy water bottles anymore. And when you have a glass water
bottle, you could just have it covered in like a rubber covering, so
if you drop it it doesn't break. Or you get a stainless steel,
those aren't gonna break if you drop it, all right, So water is
very important, but most of those waters out there are bad, you know,
Desani aquafina, poling springs, a lot of these waters are acidic.
Even the alkaline waters, the smart waters, the electrolyte waters, they're not
healthy either. So you gotta be very careful of where you're getting your water
from. All right now, it's not like we're in a third world country.
It's not like, you know, we're in India where you're gonna drink
dirty water and get polio. It doesn't happen. That's how people get polios
from dirty water. So once in America, they clean the water, they
improve the sanitation, polio went away. So it's about cleaning the water.
Lots of diseases go away when you clean your water. Now, the problem
is we're creating all these new diseases from all the chemicals we're using, whether
it's the pesticides and herbicides that they use on their food, or they inject
the animals with steroids and antibiotics and hormones, or they feed the animals genetically
modified corn. You gotta be very careful what you put in your body.
You are what you eat. If you eat a stressed cow, an anxious
cow, a depressed cow, you're gonna become anxious and depressed. If you
eat an anxious and depressed fish, you're going to become anxious and depressed.
If you eat an anxious or depressed chicken, you will become anxious or depressed.
You are what you eat. So if you have these animals that are
raised in miserable conditions, they're separated from their family, they're stuck in these
little cages, they're fed these horrible diets, they have no exercise. They're
all depressed, they're all anxious, they're overweight, they're full of drugs.
You think that's a healthy food to eat. No, it's not. You
might eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, but if they're full of all
these chemicals and pesticides and herbicides, you're creating more dysfunction. Roundup or glife
estate, which is banned in almost all countries, is everywhere in America's on
the fruit, it's on the veggies, it's on the grass, it's on
the lawn. Like the landscapers spread everywhere, the farmers spread it everywhere.
It's a poison. It causes cancer. Monsanto slash Bayer who owns it.
They keep losing all these lawsuits of people who are dying of cancer. Yet
it's still not banned. In a country like Japan, if there's a product
that kills somebody, they ban it here. Nope, everyone's greedy, so
it takes a lot for them to ban from the FDA, to ban a
certain drug or a food because it makes people money. And if there is
something that's going to take away money from the pharmaceutical companies, a lot of
times, the FDA won't approve it. So they won't ban the stuff that
makes you sick, and they won't approve stuff that makes you healthy. I
wonder why that is. Maybe because the FDA is not actually a government institution.
Maybe it's influenced by private corporations more than our own government. A lot
of the funding from the FDA comes from pharmaceutical companies, comes from companies who
are incentivized for you to use these toxic cheminals and take these harmful medications and
drugs. So a lot of people get rich when you're sick. Right when
you're sick, a lot of doctor visits, a lot of testing, MRIs
cat scans, a lot of hospital visits, a lot of pharmaceutical purchases,
a lot of surgeries, a lot of examinations, follow ups, and there
has to be medication to take care of the side effects of the medication.
It's a vicious cycle. There's lots of people that get rich off you being
sick, so there's a lot of incentive for you to be sick and being
on the computer, watching TV, scrolling up on the internet. They're gonna
have you make choices that make you sick. Never buy anything on a commercial.
What's on a commercial Dorito's, frosted flakes, bud Light, Coca Cola,
McDonald's medications. You'll never see anything healthy on a commercial. Have you
ever seen a KL commercial, a broccoli commercial, a cucumber commercial, a
carrot commercial. No, you don't see them because people know they're healthy.
You'll see an orange juice commercial, which is not healthy. You will not
see an orange commercial, which is healthy. You'll see canned peas from Green
Giant, which is unhealthy. But you won't see organic, natural string beans
on a commercial, so because people know it's healthy. You'll see frosted flakes
on a commercial, right, but you won't see celery on a commercial.
You won't see spinach on a commercial. Everything on a commercial is bad.
They're trying to convince you that's healthy. Oh, you'll see cheese and yogurt
and Hi these celebrities with their milk mustache and wonderbread, and you know Bolger's
coffee and you know lemonade and snapple and all these things that are terrible.
Snapple made from the best stuff on earth. You ever see those ingredients?
How could they say made from the best stuff on earth? How could they
say that's all natural? And even the unhealthy. Food is worse in America
than it is in other countries because all these chemicals are banned in other countries.
An oreo cookie in America is worse than an oreo cookie in Germany.
Frosted flakes in America is worse than frosted flakes in Italy. Eminem's in America
is worse than Eminem's in Japan. Everything is worse in America. Third world
countries have healthier food than us because everything's organic. They have their chickens in
their backyard. They got their mango trees and their banana trees. You just
pick it from the yard. The closer to the earth, the better,
The more processed the worst. Follow these suggestions if you want to function better,
feel better, and live a better life more. When we come back

easy to be healthy. You just got to get into good habits and you
got to avoid the bad habits. Don't focus on avoiding stuff that makes you
worse, but focus on doing more of the stuff that makes you feel better.
Your mind is very powerful. You don't want to say, oh,
I want to prevent Bolzheimer's disease. You want to say I want to improve
my memory. You don't want to say I want to get rid of my
insomnia. You say I want to sleep better. You don't say I don't
want to get COVID nineteen. You say I want to improve my immune system.
Don't put these bad words out there. Don't say the word cancer.
Don't say the word Alzheimer's dementia. Don't put it in the universe. You
don't want to be driving and say, oh, I'm late for work.
I hope there's no traffic. That's when you get stuck in traffic. What
you want to say is, AH, I hope the roads are clear.
You don't want to say I hope it doesn't rain. Do you want to
say I wish the sun will come out? Change your mindset, start being
more positive, and stop hanging out with negative people who are always complaining.
A negative thought or statement is five times powerful than a positive one. So
in dealing with you know, your spouse or your kids, or your boss
or your employee, or your teacher or your student, whoever it is,
give them five compliments before one criticism. You know, if I'm dealing with
my kid, Oh, great job brushing your teeth today, great job making
your bed, good job on that math test, you did great at basketball
practice. I love how you said please and thank you when we were out
for dinner. That's five compliments. Now we could say, hey, can't
you be a little bit nicer to your little brother? So now we could
work on something that they want to improve. But if you're always saying,
hey, you didn't pick up your socks, you're always picking on your little
brother. You forgot to wash your hands before dinner. Right. If you're
always criticizing, then that's what they were member. But when you give them
five compliments, then they're more likely to listen to you and they're not gonna
ignore you because everything that comes out of your mouth isn't a negative statement.
If everything is negative, people zone you out. But if most things are
positive, they're gonna hear what you say, They're gonna listen, they're gonna
pay attention, and then when you have to criticize them or give them some
helpful advice, they're going to listen a little bit more. And it's even
more powerful when you do it for yourself. Don't criticize yourself. Tell yourself
why you're healthy. I don't care if it's hey. I could see,
I can hear, I can pop, I can pee, I can talk,
I can walk. Give yourself five compliments about your health before you start
working on that one negative thing. I want my head to feel better.
I want more energy. I want better sleep, I want better memory,
want better focus. I want to do better at shifting task. I want
to have better balance, better stability. I want to have a better mood.
Create that rewire your brain. But you got to figure out which areas
aren't functioning properly. One of the best tests to figure that out. It's
called a VNG or a VOG. It's video nostography. It's this test where
you wear these infrared goggles that follow a light and it goes fast and slow
and up and down, and left and right and with head turns and went
light and I went dark. And we're able to analyze which areas of the
brain are overactive and which areas are underactive. It takes about twenty to thirty
minutes. It's normally five hundred dollars for this non invasive, no radiation,
no risk tests, but for the first seven people to call, text or
email, you could get the VNG for only twenty one dollars. On top
of that, you could do a one on one evaluation with me where I
check out your brain, your memory, your posture, your alignment, your
eyes, your heart, your gut, your lungs, your muscle strength,
your range of motion, your balance, your alignment. It takes about forty
five minutes. We go over your blood work, all your neurologic findings,
your health goals. Then we come up with a diagnosis and a treatment plan.
It takes about forty five minutes. It's very holistic, very integrative,
no drugs, no surgeries, no pain, no radiation. It's normally five
hundred dollars, but for the first seven people, let's sign up. You
get that for twenty one dollars as well. You could sign up for both
the VNG and the one on one with Me for twenty one dollars each for
the first seven people to call, text or email. The number is six
four six two two one six seven three eight. The other announcements I want
