Hello, when welcome to 3 00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:17.399 Boost your brain Power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. Hope everyone 4 00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:22.760 is having a great day so far. We're going to talk about how to 5 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:29.519 improve your immune system. So when you boost your brain power, you boost 6 00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:38.039 your immune system. However, sometimes your immune system can be overactive and sometimes 7 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:45.159 it can be underactive. Both are bad. If your immune system is overactive, 8 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:54.119 that's an autoimmune disease. If your immune system is underactive, that's immunosuppressed. 9 00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:00.320 Okay, but both are bad. Just like your brain function. You 10 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:08.560 can have overactive brain that creates anxiety, stress, insomnia, and you can 11 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:18.480 have an underactive brain or memory focus, low motivation, fatigue. So you 12 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:23.359 can have both overactive, underactive. Neither are good. You gotta have what's 13 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:30.359 good homeostasis right in the middle. It's like those three bears want to be 14 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.959 like the baby bear. This one is just right. We gotta do the 15 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.040 same thing for the immune system. We don't want it overactive, we don't 16 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:47.879 want it underactive. Now, which problems arise from an overactive immune system. 17 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:59.879 Those are autoimmune diseases. Hashimoto's graves, those are from the thyroid silly act. 18 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:07.039 It's gluten sensitivity in the gut, glumatoid arthritis. You see that with 19 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:15.280 pain and the joints. To attacking the joints, we have psoriasis, be 20 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:27.800 the hair, the nails, skin, lupus, get a butterfly, rash 21 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:35.360 ms, get white lesions in your brain. The immune system attacking the brain. 22 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:46.520 Diabetes type one, hey chrias. Diabetes type one is an auto mute 23 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:53.719 disease. Show brains, get dry mouth, dry eyes, try skin, 24 00:02:54.479 --> 00:03:07.280 autoimmune disease, overactive immune system, fibromyalgia, pain all over. These are 25 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:13.520 all autoimmune disease. Are overactive and if we want the immune system to calm 26 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.479 down, we got to stop putting stuff in the body that creates a reaction. 27 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:28.439 The big ones are dairy, gluten, corn, soy, coffee, 28 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:36.240 alcohol, Those are the big six for autoimmune disease. However, you have 29 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:45.199 to avoid a lot of other things heavy metals, mercury in the fish, 30 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:54.680 in your teeth, lead in the water, and the pain chips. We 31 00:03:54.759 --> 00:04:06.439 got to avoid aluminum in some deodorants, medicine, aluminum pans, aluminum cans, 32 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:16.360 aluminum foil. Aluminium is everywhere. It's even in medicine. We got 33 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:23.160 to avoid these chemicals. Arsenic. You can even find that in brown rice 34 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:30.759 and apple juice. This stuff is everywhere, and a lot of people test 35 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:36.319 high levels of these toxins and heavy metals. Got to stay away from fluoride. 36 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.639 It's in the water. It's like the dentist, it's in your toothpaste. 37 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:50.600 Right, got to avoid that's going to trigger your immune system. We 38 00:04:50.680 --> 00:05:00.600 don't want that, right. All these food dyes and candy has all these 39 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:11.600 food dies. Cakes have food dies. The preservatives that are used, the 40 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:20.160 artificial sweetners, the artificial flavorings. The brain and body doesn't like that. 41 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:25.319 That creates in a reaction, so give autoimmune disease. You've got to get 42 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.319 a rid of all of these products. The pesticides, the herbicides round up 43 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:36.000 glyphosate, so what they spray it's an herbicide. They spray all the foods 44 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:43.240 with gott to avoid those foods that are sprayed with galiphosate around up. Don't 45 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:49.160 do it on your lawn either. All the cleaning products, now, there's 46 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:55.680 so much natural stuff you could use, whether it's lemon or vinegar, baking 47 00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:01.279 soda. You know, there's so much great stuff out there that can be 48 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:08.600 used to clean that doesn't use all these harsh chemicals. All right, your 49 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.079 body's not used to it. You gotta live like a hunter gatherer one of 50 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.120 neandrothals back in the day. Bodies not used to all these new chemicals and 51 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:21.160 these products. We need to avoid it if we don't want to trigger our 52 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:27.800 immune system because we have autoimmune disease. Now, most people don't even test 53 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.680 for that, so you're not going to know the way to test for those 54 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.759 autoimmune diseases through blood work and you check for what's called antibodies. That the 55 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:43.160 antibodies numbers are too high, then you have autoimmune condition and you definitely have 56 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:50.560 to avoid that stuff. Okay, that's over active immune system. Those are 57 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:59.839 autoimmune diseases, very very common. Most common one that we see is hashimoto 58 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:09.480 that's an underactive thyroid caused by autoimmune disease where the body's attacking its own thyroid. 59 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:16.439 It's very very common Ashimoto's thyroid diets. And we could check the blood 60 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:24.600 work to give it, you know, an official diagnosis. If your TSH 61 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:30.360 is too high and all the other numbers that thyroid numbers are too low. 62 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:39.680 Plus we have high antibodies. You gotta check for antibodies. Because you don't 63 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:46.319 check for antibodies, you'll never know. We can get you away to check 64 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.040 all that in the blood work if you haven't already, just give me an 65 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:58.480 email info at Kaplan Brain and Body dot com. They can just email us 66 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:05.920 at info at Kaplanbrainenbody dot com and we could set up you to get some 67 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.920 blood work. You know, we'll tell you which labs you can go to. 68 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.040 So there's a lot of good labs that get you quick, easy results, 69 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:22.639 accurate, but you don't always trust the lab values. That's important because 70 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.480 most of the people that are going to get blood work at these labs are 71 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:35.080 sick. A typical American is obese. They might have heart disease, cancer, 72 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.799 diabetes, they might have some sort of lung disease or liver disease, 73 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:46.080 or dementia, Alzheimer's or stroke or Parkinsons. That's a typical American. We're 74 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:56.080 not a very healthy country unfortunately, So when they say you are normal in 75 00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:03.480 your blood work, they're comparing you to a typical American who is not very 76 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:09.799 healthy. So you don't want to be quote unquote normal. You want to 77 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:18.799 be quote unquote healthy. So when we look at your past blood work in 78 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:24.320 your current blood work, we take a functional medicine approach at Caplin Brain About 79 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:31.559 and what that means is the scales that we use are for healthy people, 80 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:39.279 not for typical American. The typical American is unhealthy. So you don't want 81 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.320 to compare yourself to them. Oh I'm normal. Oh I'm just like a 82 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.720 regular typical American. No, you don't want to be a typical American. 83 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.519 You have to be that one percent. But you got to put the effort 84 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:56.360 in. You don't want to be like the ninety nine percent. You gotta 85 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:03.440 be the top one percent. And it's pretty easy if you follow along with 86 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:09.440 the suggestions of health and well being. It's not that complicated, you know, 87 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:15.279 as long as you eat healthy and avoid those six foods and all those 88 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:20.240 autoimmune problems. We've spoke about it, all right. And if you exercise 89 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.720 every day, even just a little walk, you go to bed early, 90 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:30.279 you have some fun, you give to others, you drink some water, 91 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.600 you get some good rest, reduce share emotional stress, and you're gonna live 92 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:45.000 a long, healthy life with high quality of life and independence and freedom. 93 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:50.759 You just gotta put in the effort. Your health is not given to you. 94 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.360 You know, don't come to me if you want a doctor that's going 95 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.840 to fix all your problems. Come to me if you want ways for you 96 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:03.159 to help yourself. I'm not the doctor that writes prescriptions. I'm not a 97 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.360 medical doctor.

Welcome back to 122 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:18.879 boost your brain power. I am your host, doctor Eric Caplan. We're 123 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.519 talking about your immune system and how to maximize the function of your body, 124 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:30.600 so your immune system is not overactive or it's not underactive. If it's overactive, 125 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:37.279 it's autoimmune disease. And you have to avoid the Big six gluten, 126 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:45.039 dairy, corn, soy, coffee, and alcohol. Those are the big 127 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:52.440 six for autoimmune disease. Now, what if your immune system is underactive? 128 00:13:54.840 --> 00:14:01.120 So we're coming upon quote unquote flu season. There's no such thing as flu 129 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:07.159 season. The problem is people's immune system gets weak. And why does it 130 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:13.879 get weak. The biggest cause of the weak immune system is vitamin D, 131 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:22.480 which is a hormone but is related to your immune system. Also related to 132 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:28.559 your thyroid we were talking about. That's the most common autoimmune disease is hashimotos 133 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.440 and if your vitamin D levels are low, you're more likely to have this 134 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:41.519 autoimmune thyroid problem. Vitamin D is key to your immune system, to your 135 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:48.360 thyroid function, and also to your brain function. Low vitamin D levels have 136 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:56.799 been linked to Alzheimer's disease. During the whole COVID nineteen pandemic, the people 137 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:03.519 that we're dying and had the worst outcomes had low vitamin D levels, and 138 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:09.919 we knew about that from the beginning. Yet nobody was reporting that. That's 139 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:15.480 why I don't listen to the news. The news wasn't telling us, hey, 140 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.840 you got to increase your vitamin D levels. The news wasn't telling us, 141 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:26.480 hey, go outside and exercise. If you had good vitamin D levels, 142 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.320 and you went outside and you exercise, and you drank water, and 143 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:37.240 you were smart, you wash your hands when necessary. You can't touch your 144 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:43.840 mouth and nose and eyes all the time. If you were just smart, 145 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.120 you're very low risk. And vitamin D was the source of it all. 146 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:54.879 Your vitamin D levels have to be not normal, they have to be healthy. 147 00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.759 Normal is about twenty thirty something like that in your blood work. We 148 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:07.679 want healthy. We want at least forty fifty sixty seventy. That is healthy. 149 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.000 That's what we want for our vitamin D levels. Not normal at twenty 150 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.559 or thirty. You know, they wait till you're like at ten and be 151 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.600 like, oh, your vitamin D deficient. Do not wait till it's that 152 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:25.519 low. That is dangerous. And where do we get vitamin D. We 153 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:30.519 get it from the sunlight. So you gotta go outside. You gotta roll 154 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.120 up your sleeves, pull up your pant legs, take off your hat, 155 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:40.600 take off your glasses. You need exposure. Your eyes needs sun exposure. 156 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:48.120 Your skin needs sun exposure, not just your hands and your cheeks. You 157 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:56.639 gotta get it everywhere. That's your vitamin D very important. Now. If 158 00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:02.120 you can't get it through the sun, you know, take a vacation, 159 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.160 you know, if you're working every day, go down South, go to 160 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.200 the Caribbean, go to South America, go to Africa, go to India, 161 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:17.079 go to some place where you get a lot of sunlight. Get that 162 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:22.759 vitamin D boost to boost your brain, boost your immune system, boost your 163 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:27.240 thyroid, your hormones, get everything functioning at a higher level. You can't 164 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:32.119 take a vacation. Sometimes you might have to supplement, but don't get a 165 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:37.799 supplement, you know, from CVS. Don't get anything from CBS. There's 166 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.680 no reason to go into a CVS. There's nothing healthy there. The best 167 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:48.079 vitamin D supplement is from apex Energetics. You have to get that through a 168 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:55.200 doctor. So if you're interested again, just email me info at Kaplan braininbody 169 00:17:55.279 --> 00:18:00.640 dot com and we can help you get in touch with that as well as 170 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.960 the blood work if you're interested in that as well. All right, So 171 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:11.279 vitamin D also needs to be fat soluble, needs to be taken with fat, 172 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:17.880 with vitamin K, with calcium, with magnesium phosphorus, with vitamin A 173 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:23.000 and E as well, so it's there's a there's a formula for vitamin D 174 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:29.319 absorption. So vitamin d's that you'll get at the vitamin shop, GNC, 175 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:34.200 CBS, Dwayne Read, you know, Whole Foods, Trader Jos, most 176 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:41.359 of these places. You're not going to get quality supplements just because it's natural. 177 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:47.799 Just because it's a vitamin and it's over the counter doesn't mean it's safe 178 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.400 or healthy. You should only take supplements if you actually need them. If 179 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:57.640 you're taking supplements and you don't need them, you're gonna trigger your autoimmune condition 180 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:02.799 because you're making stuff that your body doesn't need and the brain's like, well, 181 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.839 I don't need this, and it starts creating an overactive immune system. 182 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:14.160 Goes Haywire. Supplements, vitamins, herbs, they could be dangerous, just 183 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:19.720 like medicine can. They can have contaminants, they can have impurities, they 184 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:27.079 can have fillers. They could be not produced properly. They might not be 185 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:34.279 in the natural state or ratio. They could create a lot of problems. 186 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.920 Don't think they're all safe. Now, you want to be under a doctor's 187 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:49.480 supervision, preferably somebody who's trained in functional medicine or functional neurology. A functional 188 00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:56.319 doctor is that different scale because the scales are super important, and also the 189 00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.799 products are super important. You know, what you put in your body is 190 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:07.000 keets, not just vitamindeeds. What's the source of it? With everything? 191 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:12.519 You know, when you have a piece of steak, it's not just oh, 192 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.359 it's red meat, good for you or not good for you. It's 193 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.400 not that black and white. You know, you gotta look at the cow. 194 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:26.880 The cows are very emotional. If they get separated from their family or 195 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.839 their kids, or their parents, or their siblings or their friends, they 196 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:36.480 get depressed, they get anxious. If you eat a cow that's depressed or 197 00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:42.720 anxious, you become depressed or anxious. You are what you eat, and 198 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:48.559 cows are very sensitive. So if you're eating a lot of products that come 199 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:57.839 from cows, keep in mind you're eating their brain function as well. Okay, 200 00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:04.240 just like if a mother is super stressed and she's breastfeeding, so if 201 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:08.519 the baby drinks milk that comes from an anxious mother, they are more likely 202 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:15.640 to get anxious if they drink milk that comes from an anxious cow. Not 203 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.720 only are they going to get more anxious, you're also having dairy products, 204 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:25.880 which creates autoimmune disease. You're also gonna call lung congestion brain issues. So 205 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:27.519 we gotta avoid dairy at all costs. There's the worst thing you could put 206 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:37.680 in your body. Milk is for babies. If you are not a baby, 207 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.720 you shouldn't be drinking milk. And if you are a baby, the 208 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:47.000 only milk you should be drinking is from your mother's breast. That's the way 209 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.359 nature intended it. If you don't want autoimmune disease, if you don't want 210 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:56.839 your immune system messed up, you better stop drinking milk, stop having yogurt, 211 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:04.759 stop having cream cheese, sour cream, cheese, ice cream, ranch, 212 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:15.759 sour cream, blue cheese, all these dairy products. You've got to 213 00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:19.759 avoid it. Yes, that includes dairy and ghee and butter, yogurt, 214 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:25.319 all this stuff that you're told is healthy. If it's coming from a cow's 215 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:32.240 utter, you know, the milk, then we got a problem if you're 216 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:36.000 going to eat the meat. Now, that does occur in nature, but 217 00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:41.160 we've got to make sure it's it's the cow is raised in really good conditions. 218 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.000 It's free roaming and an ice big farm keeping hanging out with its friends 219 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:53.279 and family, having a good diet, grass fed, not full of steroids 220 00:22:53.279 --> 00:23:02.000 and antibiotics, living a good quality of life, quality food, quality, 221 00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:07.279 sunlike quality, water, quality, family relationships. And have it once in 222 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:11.440 a while. You know, people never eat cows every day. You know, 223 00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:17.960 maybe once or twice a month. You know, you have some cow 224 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.880 once or twice a month, have some fish once or twice a month, 225 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.359 have some chicken once or twice a month, some turkey once or twice a 226 00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:32.000 month, some eggs once or twice a month, some pig once or twice 227 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:37.160 a month. So you can enjoy it all, but not often, not 228 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:42.680 every day. You know, Fruit, vegetables, that's for every day, 229 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:48.359 every single day of your life. Water every single day of your life. 230 00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:52.799 But don't have the same fruits and vegetables every single day. You're not a 231 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.799 patient. It's like, oh, I'm very healthy. I eat chicken and 232 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.720 broccoli every day. So well that's not healthy. You're not getting all your 233 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:04.119 nutrients. You got a variety is key, you know, because what used 234 00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:07.079 to happen, you know, if they had an apple tree or something, 235 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.079 then they'd have to move on and find a pear tree, and then a 236 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:14.720 mango tree, and then a banana tree. So you have to keep changing 237 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:18.200 it up. Different types of fruit, different types of vegetables, carrots and 238 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:25.920 you know, cucumbers and celery and different lettuces, romaine. You don't have 239 00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.359 kale every day. You have kale one day, romaine the next day, 240 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:34.240 collared green's the next day. You know, you gotta keep changing it up. 241 00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:41.160 Then you have spinach, and you have ridicio. Keep switching it up. 242 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:48.039 Then you have charred. Keep switching it up. You know, have 243 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:55.960 the different colors, different color peppers, different colored cabbage, different color apple, 244 00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.200 different colored grapes, different colored berries. The variet eight key. You 245 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:06.079 have to change up the color if you want to function better, feel better, 246 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:10.279 and live a better life more.

Welcome back to boost 258 00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:15.119 your brain power. I am your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. So we're 259 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:19.119 talking about your immune system. Had a strength in your immune system. If 260 00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:25.200 you eat each color of the rainbow, then your immune system gets stronger. 261 00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.480 If you eat all the white foods, your immune system gets weaker. Where 262 00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:38.720 the white foods sugar, right, all the bread, all the dairy all 263 00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:45.119 right, all the pasta, the cereals right, there's not a lot of 264 00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:52.839 nutrients in there. All the crackers, the muffins, the croissans, the 265 00:26:52.000 --> 00:27:02.240 bagels, the muffins, the tortillas. All that was white foods with no 266 00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:07.119 color, no life. We got to avoid those and eat all the colors 267 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:14.880 of the rainbow. Now, we said to increase or boost your immune system. 268 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.079 We got to make sure your vitamin D levels are good. That's super 269 00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:26.920 important. Okay. Not only are vitamin D super important, but your rest 270 00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:33.319 is very important. Okay, So you have twenty four hours in a day. 271 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.400 Eight hours should be rest, eight hours should be work, and eight 272 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:42.200 hours should be fun. That's to maximize your immune system. You need to 273 00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:47.240 work to get your immune system strong. You gotta work for it. Got 274 00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:52.200 exercise, you gotta eat healthy, got a good brain function. Gotta have 275 00:27:52.240 --> 00:28:00.039 fun for your immune system. Gotta go on vacation, Gotta laugh, right 276 00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:06.759 you ever see that movie you know with Robin Williams, he goes to the 277 00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:11.680 hospital, makes all the kids laugh, right, Ever hear that expression? 278 00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:18.400 Laughter is the best medicine. You gotta have fun. If you have fun, 279 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:22.279 your immune system becomes stronger. If you're too stressed out, your immune 280 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:27.920 system becomes weaker. If you're too serious, you're always working, you're not 281 00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:33.839 resting, you're not having fun, then your immune system is he gets suppressed. 282 00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:37.720 So not only get vitamin D, but we got to get our arrest. 283 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:42.480 Eight hours the best eight hours or ten to six that's when it's darkest. 284 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.400 So you want to sleep from ten pm to six am. There's your 285 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:55.200 eight hours to get the best sleep. Don't eat at night. You really 286 00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:59.599 want four hours before bedtime, meaning if you're going to bed at ten, 287 00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:04.680 last meal should be six and we got four hours to digest the food. 288 00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:10.559 Break it down, Relax. It's hard to go to sleep if there's food 289 00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:15.640 in your system. And proteins take about three to four hours to digest, 290 00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:22.640 carbodrates take about two to three hours. Fruit only takes twenty minutes, all 291 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.720 right, so that's not that big a deal. But most people don't have 292 00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:33.720 fruit for dinner, right, all right, So you want four hours to 293 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:40.200 not eat because eating is for energy, and you don't want energy to get 294 00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:45.359 your proper rest. Got it. So we don't want to eat at night, 295 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:51.000 and we don't want electronics at night. Electronics have cortsol. Cortisol is 296 00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:55.839 the stress hormone. The stress hormone is going to keep you up at night. 297 00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:00.799 If your cortisol levels are high, then your melotona levels are going to 298 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.839 be low, and now it's not going to get good sleep. You gotta 299 00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:11.480 get that good deep sleep. Get those brain waves in delta. I'm going 300 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:17.160 to get in that RM. The rapid eye movement. Each sleep cycle takes 301 00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:22.000 about ninety minutes, so the key is to fall asleep at the same time 302 00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.680 every day just to get in a good rhythm. You don't want to be 303 00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:34.000 ten o'clock Monday, ten thirty Tuesday, eleven o'clock Wednesday, ten fifteen Thursday, 304 00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:40.160 ten forty five Friday. It's not good. It's got to be ten 305 00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:42.039 o'clock, ten o'clock, ten o'clock, ten o'clock, ten o'clock, ten 306 00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:47.079 o'clock, ten o'clock. That way, the brain gets in a good rhythm 307 00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:52.359 they're called circadian rhythms, and you get your proper sleep, proper digestion, 308 00:30:52.559 --> 00:31:00.480 proper relaxation, Your immune system gets rebooted. That rest is key for your 309 00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:07.839 immune system. That's why people will get sick when they have little rest. 310 00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:12.000 It makes you more susceptible. So if you want your immune system to be 311 00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:19.319 strong, you have to get consistent rest. Sleep is super important, right, 312 00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:26.680 So we said vitamin D is important. Sleep is important. Nutrition is 313 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:34.039 important, good healthy food water. Their cells need water. You're supposed to 314 00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:41.599 drink half your body weight and ounces. However, make sure it has proper 315 00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.839 minerals so it's good to eat. To do distilled water, and then you 316 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:52.440 could supplement with minerals pink and Malayan salt, Celtic sea salt. Squeeze some 317 00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:57.359 lemon in there or limes or for some flavor. Get your minerals though. 318 00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:04.480 Don't be am by a lot of these plastic water drinks, these some electrolite 319 00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:07.480 drinks, a lot of its scam, Gatorade, p DLA. Just make 320 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.119 your own, super easy. Just buy your own salt, put it in 321 00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:16.519 the water, give it some flavor, no food dye, no preservatives, 322 00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:23.559 no sugar, tons of minerals. That's what we gotta do, all right, 323 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:29.880 super important for the water half your body weight and anounces. And you 324 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:35.400 want to do drink the water on an empty stomach. You don't want to 325 00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:38.680 drink water during your meal. That's not good for digestion and it's not good 326 00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:43.680 for absorption in the water. You want to m drink it on an empty 327 00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:49.599 stomach, first thing in the morning, before you eat any food. To 328 00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:54.000 drink water on an empty stomach. The sola water that's with the pink himlayan 329 00:32:54.119 --> 00:33:00.519 salt. Make sure it's warm, easy to digest. Lubricature and testine lining 330 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:07.039 helps you prevent overeating in your meals to come water. It should be on 331 00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:12.799 an empty stomach first thing in the morning and a half hour before each meal. 332 00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:17.319 Very good for the digestive process. Right, So if you weigh a 333 00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:22.920 one hundred pounds, you drink fifty ounces of water. You weigh two hundred 334 00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:27.559 pounds, you have to drink one hundred ounces of water. So it's not 335 00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:31.799 just eight glasses for everybody. It's according to your body weight. But make 336 00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:37.279 sure you mineralize it and get into trouble. If you drink water without the 337 00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:43.960 minerals, you get overhydrated. Okay, that's not healthy either. Right. 338 00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:46.599 We said we don't want your brain overactive. Then you can't sleep and you 339 00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:52.640 get anxiety. You don't want your brain underactive, then you get low motivation, 340 00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:58.680 low focused, depression, low energy. You don't want your immune system 341 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:06.720 overactive, right, and you get autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's ciliac disease, rheumatoid 342 00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:10.760 authorietis, stuff like that. But you don't want your immune system underactive. 343 00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:17.639 That makes you more susceptible to pneumonia, the flu, getting sick, covid, 344 00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:24.599 coronavirus, all that stuff. You don't want it underactive either, all 345 00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:31.239 right, you don't want too much cholesterol, but you don't want too little 346 00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:37.719 cholesterol. You don't want too high blood pressure, but you don't want too 347 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:44.639 low blood pressure. You want good homeostasis. But you got to get a 348 00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:52.280 good idea of how you currently are. The way to figure out what your 349 00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:58.599 current status is to do testing. Before we were talking about blood work, 350 00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.360 right, So that's one type of testing you could do is blood work. 351 00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:08.239 The other type of testing, which I think is the best type of testing, 352 00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:15.280 is called a q EG brain mapping. Now, a q EG brain 353 00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:22.119 mapping is going to analyze all the different areas of the brain by measuring brain 354 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:29.559 waves. Just like you could do an EKG for your heart, you could 355 00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:34.519 do with what's called a q EG for your brain. That's a brain mapping, 356 00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.119 and it will literally tell us, Hey, do you have anxiety? 357 00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:43.280 Do you have depression? Do you have accessive worry? Do you have negative 358 00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.159 thoughts in your head? Do you have anger? Do you have aggression? 359 00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:52.519 Do you have low motivation? Do you have fatigue? Do you have difficulty 360 00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:59.280 shifting tasks? Do you have memory problems, troubles with focus? Do you 361 00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:06.280 have troubles with organization planning? Do you have white matter inflammation in your brain. 362 00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:12.400 Do you have low dopamine levels or low acetal coline. Have you had 363 00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:20.880 a concussion or heavy metal poisoning or pathologies, viruses or bacteria, stuff like 364 00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:28.760 that. Do you have a thyroid problem or intestinal inflammation, heavy metal exposures. 365 00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:36.880 This all comes up in the q EG brain mapping. It will tell 366 00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:39.559 us you have sensory problems, troubles you know, that's like ringing in the 367 00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:45.760 ears or floaters in the eyes, or balance problems, or headaches or dizziness. 368 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:50.599 It'll tell us if you're not getting in a blood flow, circulation oxygen 369 00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:54.119 into the brain. It's an amazing test, and we're going to give a 370 00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:58.599 gift to every one of my listeners here, or at least the first seven 371 00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:05.360 people that respond. The qEEG brain mapping is normally five hundred dollars, but 372 00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:08.639 for the first seven people that call, text or email, you can get 373 00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:15.440 the entire test for only twenty one dollars. All you have to do is 374 00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:20.920 call or texts six four six two two one, six, seven three eight, 375 00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:27.960 or you can email info at Kaplan brain embody dot com. Just tell 376 00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:31.039 them you want to be one of the first seven people to do the q 377 00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:37.960 EG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars and after the test, I'll review 378 00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:42.840 it with you and let you know what my findings are, as well as 379 00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:49.960 suggestions which will be holistic, natural integrated ways to boost your brain power to 380 00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:53.519 function better, feel better and live a better life more when we can come 381 00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:58.440 back from the break.

Welcome back to boost your brain power. 394 00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:04.440 I'm your host, doctor Eric Aplin. Okay, so we're gonna be 395 00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:13.079 talking about how to get your immune system to function best. We spoke about 396 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:19.000 not wanting your immune system to be overactive and not wanting your immune system to 397 00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:25.800 become underactive. Now, other things that can make your nervous system and your 398 00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:34.639 immune system underactive is stress. Stress is the silent killer. If you're in 399 00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:39.800 stress mode, your immune system is going to get suppressed. So we have 400 00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:47.679 to do our best to reduce stresses, physical stresses, emotional stresses, chemical 401 00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:57.679 stresses, electromagnetic frequency stresses. There's a lot of stresses in our life. 402 00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:01.239 How do you get rid of the electromagnetic frequency? Turn your phone on airplane 403 00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:07.599 mode, turn your computer on airplane mode, turn your iPad on airplane mode. 404 00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:14.239 We don't need signals twenty four seven. We only need it when we're 405 00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:22.679 actually checking a new email or getting an update on something. But once you're 406 00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:30.039 updating and everything's refreshed, you could put it on airplane mode. We don't 407 00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:35.800 want Wi Fi, we don't want five G, you don't want Bluetooth. 408 00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:42.800 You don't want to be sitting in Starbucks all day, or in a library 409 00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:47.920 or in a big city, or right next to a five G tower or 410 00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:57.239 an electricity tower. You don't want to sleep near outlets or plugs that have 411 00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:05.480 big machines attached to them, such as a refrigerator or a microwave or a 412 00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:14.119 TV something that uses a lot of electricity. You don't want to sleep near 413 00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:20.719 electricity. You don't want to sleep near your phone. Have your phone on 414 00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:23.239 the opposite end of your room. And if your phone's an alarm clock, 415 00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:27.920 that's good because that forces you to get out of bed and go across the 416 00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:32.199 room to turn it off, especially when you're carrying the phone in your pocket. 417 00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:37.239 Put it on airplane mode or turn it off. You don't want to 418 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:43.480 be radiating your prostate or your ovaries, because when it's in your pocket, 419 00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:50.480 it's very close to your organs, and you want to reduce radiation. You 420 00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:53.159 know, you don't need, you know, dental x rays every six months. 421 00:41:55.039 --> 00:42:00.400 You don't need to go through the X ray machine at the airport. 422 00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:06.280 You don't need all these electromagnetic frequencies. Your only amount a certain amount of 423 00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:10.360 radiation in your life. So use it when you need it. If you 424 00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:15.360 have a real medical problem and you really need to do testing, that's when 425 00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:19.719 you do the radiation. But if you can avoid it, avoid it at 426 00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:25.719 all possibilities. Don't microwave your food and stand right next to it, especially 427 00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:36.000 that's radiation. Turn off the signals, unplug, unplug everything, turn off 428 00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:39.599 your WiFi at night. You got to reduce that inflammation. You got to 429 00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:45.800 reduce that stress. I see women put their cell phone in their brob right 430 00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:51.960 next to their heart. That's gonna mess up the electrical signals of your heart. 431 00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:54.519 Like I'm gonna make you turn off your phone on the airplane, Imagine 432 00:42:54.559 --> 00:43:01.199 what it does to your body. We have to unplugug We have to get 433 00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:07.679 rid of all these smart devices. It's too much electromagnetic frequencies. One of 434 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:13.480 the other stresses physical stress. One of the worst physical stresses that's going to 435 00:43:13.559 --> 00:43:19.800 weaken your immune system is sitting. Sitting is the new smoking. The more 436 00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:23.599 you sit, the weaker your brain and body become. I call it the 437 00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:29.559 twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, you get up for twenty seconds, you 438 00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:35.320 walk twenty feet, you look twenty feet, do twenty jumping. Jack's do 439 00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:38.920 twenty sit to stand, do twenty shoulder rolls, do twenty push ups, 440 00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:45.719 twenty sit ups. Anything to get your body moving for twenty seconds every twenty 441 00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:52.320 minutes. That we'll save your life. That will keep your immune system strong. 442 00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:59.679 That will keep your brain healthy. That will improve your digestion. That 443 00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:05.639 will increase your energy. That will improve your vision. The twenty rule. 444 00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:09.239 Every twenty minutes, you get up for twenty seconds, you'll walk twenty feet 445 00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:15.480 and you'll look twenty feet. Exercise the eyes, exercise the body. That 446 00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:22.199 will help you to improve your focus, improve your productivity. Your brain's like 447 00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:25.559 a muscle. You'll use it or you'll lose it. So you gotta get 448 00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:30.639 off your butt. You gotta use your body, and I'll make your brain 449 00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:37.159 stronger. Sitting is the new smoking, so never sit for more than twenty 450 00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:43.639 minutes. What other physical stress is just repetitive stress. Let's say if you're 451 00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:47.880 typing, you're on the mouse, you're using your phone. I don't care 452 00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:52.679 what your job is. If you're a dentist, if you cut hair, 453 00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:59.000 if you design clothes, if you're an architect, you're going to do something 454 00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:04.400 repetitive over and over and over again, and whatever that repetitive thing is over 455 00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.239 and over again. Switch it up, all right. If you're a garbage 456 00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:12.079 man and you keep throwing the garbage over the right shoulder, switch it up 457 00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:16.920 and throw it over the left shoulder. If you carry your purse on the 458 00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:22.199 right shoulder, carry your purse on the left shoulder. If you brush your 459 00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:30.119 teeth with your right hand, brush your teeth with your left hand. If 460 00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:37.000 you always drive to work on this route, drive on another route, switch 461 00:45:37.039 --> 00:45:42.639 it up. If you always play golf ridy, start swinging the club lefty. 462 00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:46.239 If you're dentists and are always on one side of the patient, stand 463 00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:52.159 on the other side of the patient. Balance it out. If the mouse 464 00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:54.800 is on the right hand, use the mouse on the left hand. If 465 00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:58.599 you talk on the phone on your right ear, talk on the phone with 466 00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:04.559 your left ear. You have to keep switching it up to maximize your potential 467 00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:12.639 to function at the highest level. That's physical stress. What about emotional stress. 468 00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:15.880 Maybe you have to quit a job, maybe you have to get out 469 00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:21.000 of a bad relationship, maybe you have to move out of the city. 470 00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:24.880 Maybe you gotta get a new roommate. You know it doesn't Sometimes you gotta 471 00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:31.079 make big life changes to improve your health and your well being. And other 472 00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:36.679 times it doesn't have to be that big, but you got us start doing 473 00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:43.199 a little breathing exercise. The best relaxation breathing exercise is to inhale for four 474 00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:49.079 seconds, hold it for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds, or 475 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:52.440 maybe practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is where you just focus on one thing at a 476 00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:57.119 time. If you're working out at the gym, you're in gym mode. 477 00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:00.320 You're not texting anybody, You're not talking to your friends, you're not looking 478 00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:06.920 at girls. You're focused on the gym. Let's say you're having dinner with 479 00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:12.360 your family. Don't read the newspaper, don't turn on the television or the 480 00:47:12.519 --> 00:47:17.519 radio. Focus on your family. Focus on the meal, the smell of 481 00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:22.960 the meal, the touch of the food, the taste. Talk to your 482 00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:27.119 family, you know, look at each other, laugh with each other. 483 00:47:27.639 --> 00:47:34.760 Unplug. It's a time to bond. Be in family mode, all right. 484 00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:37.320 If you're on work, be in work mode. Don't be checking your 485 00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:44.119 messages, don't be looking at social media. Be in work mode. When 486 00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:47.800 you're at church, be in church mode. You know, don't think about, 487 00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:51.880 Oh, I gotta go shopping after this, I gotta watch the football 488 00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:58.400 game. Not be focused on God, be focused on Church. Wherever you 489 00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:02.360 are practicing, mindful now is being in that moment and not thinking about the 490 00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:06.199 next thing or other things, or where you gotta be, or who you're 491 00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:09.519 going to see or what you gotta do. You're just focused on that one 492 00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:15.440 thing. Or you could do a meditation. I do a thirty second meditation 493 00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:21.920 every day. I call it the Relax technique where I just pick thirty spots 494 00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:24.079 starting from the top of my head all the way down to my tippy does 495 00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:30.599 and I relax each muscle, relax the top of my head. Then internally, 496 00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:35.079 I say relax and relax my forehead, Relax my temples, Relax my 497 00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:38.000 jaw, relax my cheeks, my chin, relax my neck, relax my 498 00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:44.159 shoulders. So I pick thirty spots and I just say relax at each spot. 499 00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:47.719 It's a great meditation. It works very well. You don't need thirty 500 00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:53.559 minutes of meditation, but you do need at least thirty seconds of meditation every 501 00:48:53.599 --> 00:48:59.239 single day to reduce your emotional stress, and that's going to make your immune 502 00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:04.800 system stronger. You can also work on your nervous system. Now, but 503 00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:07.079 how do you know what part of the nervous system you need to work on. 504 00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:13.960 The best test is to do a one on one evaluation with me where 505 00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:17.679 we could check out your memory, your blood pressure, your oxygen levels. 506 00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:23.239 We check out your FOTE, so to listen to your gut, your lungs, 507 00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:28.199 your heart, your reflex is, your posture, your alignment, your 508 00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:32.480 circulation, your inflammation, your brain function, the right brain, the left 509 00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:36.599 brain, the front on each of the lobes. So it's a one on 510 00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:38.559 one evaluation with me. Takes about forty five minutes, but we're going to 511 00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:43.960 give a gift to all my listeners. The first seven people that call, 512 00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:46.679 text or email you can get a one on one evaluation with me. What 513 00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:51.440 includes your history, your health goals, if you have any blood work or 514 00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:53.679 any test you need to go over it. It's all included on the forty 515 00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:59.760 five minute evaluation. It's normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven 516 00:49:59.760 --> 00:50:01.599 p people that call, text or email, you can get the entire test 517 00:50:01.679 --> 00:50:06.760 for only twenty one dollars.

The next best test is called a VANG and. 520 00:50:16.719 --> 00:50:21.199 The v AND is great because it tells us which areas are overactive and which 521 00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:23.800 areas are underactive. Remember we spoke about this whole time. You've got to 522 00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:30.480 figure out which is overactive and which is underactive. The other tests are good, 523 00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:34.480 but they don't tell us in details. Which is the right side overactive? 524 00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:37.159 Is the left side overactive? Is it the frontal that's overactive? Is 525 00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:42.000 it you're sympathetic? Is it you're cerebellum. So the best test for that 526 00:50:42.079 --> 00:50:45.000 is called the VANG. It's non invasive. You just wear these goggles. 527 00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:50.760 That test is also normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people 528 00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:54.239 that call, text or email you can get it for only twenty one dollars. 529 00:50:54.760 --> 00:51:00.800 The number is six four six two two one six seven three eight, 530 00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:07.159 or you can email info at Kaplan, Brain and body dot com.
