Hello, and welcome to 3 00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:18.960 boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. This month 4 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:27.120 is Alzheimer's Awareness Month, so we want to be aware on how to prevent 5 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:34.799 Alzheimer's as well as how to reverse Alzheimer's. When I was growing up, 6 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:46.679 I witnessed my grandma daddy brain slowly deteriorate into dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Now, 7 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:52.799 everybody asked me, what's the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's disease. So, 8 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:59.560 dementia is basically when you're having memory loss, and one of the conditions 9 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:07.719 that cause is memory loss is Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is when you have 10 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:15.480 these beta amyloid plaques, this little sticky, gluey substance that prevents signals from 11 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:21.879 connecting in your left and right brain, specifically in your frontal cortex and your 12 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.480 temporal cortex. That's frontal temporal dementia as a result from beta amyloid platts. 13 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:37.040 That is called Alzheimer's disease. You can have other different types of plaques that 14 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:45.879 might cause Parkinson's disease, and you might have a Parkinsonian dementia. But those 15 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:53.480 are different types of plaques, all right. So Alzheimer's disease can cause dementia, 16 00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:00.760 Parkinson's can cause dementia. You can get it from concussion. You can 17 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:06.560 get it from a stroke. You can get it from a traumatic brain injury. 18 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:14.599 You can get it from heavy metal poisoning, or lime disease or COVID 19 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:23.599 nineteen different viruses, or bacteria, mold exposure. There are so many different 20 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:32.400 causes of dementia. Alzheimer's is just one of the most common causes of dementia, 21 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.439 and it's the most frightening one. You know, when I was witnessing 22 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:46.039 my grandma Daddy passed away from Alzheimer's disease, she was so miserable the last 23 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.919 ten years of life. She'd always say, Oh, Eric, I just 24 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.879 want to die. I just want to die. I want it all over. 25 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.479 You know. She was in a wheelchair, she was in a diaper, 26 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.840 she was in a nursing home. She kept forgetting more and more every 27 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:06.319 year. She was getting more miserable. She had low quality of life, 28 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.439 and I don't want that for you guys. I want you guys to have 29 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.280 a high quality of life. You know, everyone, you know, everyone 30 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.080 says, oh, you know, I don't want to live to one hundred. 31 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.520 Guess what, you might live to one hundred, but you don't want 32 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:27.439 the last twenty years of your life being miserable. That's why you have to 33 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.840 do things now. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 34 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:36.960 You know, my Grandma Dotty, she was so popular, she had so 35 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.960 many friends. She was a great cook, she was a great dresser, 36 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.560 she was always wearing the highest fashioned clothes. She always had the best mega 37 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.919 mom. She was a great tennis player, she played great cards. She 38 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:54.080 was always having so much fun, you know, dancing, going out for 39 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:59.840 dinner, socializing. And then she moved to Brookly. Then she moved from 40 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.080 Brooklyn to Florida. And once she moved to Florida, you know, she 41 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.719 stopped a lot of her activities. She stopped, you know, dancing, 42 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.800 she stopped playing tennis, she stopped playing cards, she stopped cooking, and 43 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.079 her brain went worse and worse and worse. And then she stopped dressing up 44 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.639 and stoped putting on her makeup and carrying what she looks like, stop cleaning 45 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:27.000 the house, getting more forgetful. And every year her brain got worse, 46 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.920 her balance got worse, her strength got worse. She had morerightis, more 47 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:36.759 degeneration and more memory loss, troubles with focus, confusion, brain fog. 48 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:43.639 Every year worse and worse and worse because all she did was sit on the 49 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:47.360 couch and watch TV. If you want your brain to die off, just 50 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:53.680 sit on the couch, watch TV, sit on your chair, play in 51 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:59.399 the computer, sit down, playing on your cell phone. Then your brain 52 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.439 is going to die off. If you want to prevent Alzheimer's, get off 53 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:09.639 your butt, start participating in life, start doing activities, start being more 54 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:15.199 social, start helping others, Start taking care of your health. And it 55 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:20.720 starts with your nutrition. If you want to prevent Alzheimer's disease, you can't 56 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:26.600 have diabetes. Diabetes is one of the number one calls of Alzheimer's disease. 57 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:32.680 In fact, they're contemplating changes the name of Alzheimer's disease to diabetes type three 58 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:40.199 because it's so similar of how it affects your brain. So if you look 59 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:45.360 at your blood work and you have a fasting glucose over one hundred, you 60 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.199 better start working on that immediately. If you have a hebid glow at a 61 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:57.480 one C in your blood work that's above five point seven percent, that's too 62 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:03.759 high on your way to diabetes. You have to reverse it. And it's 63 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:09.600 easy. And when I say it's easy, because there's a formula, and 64 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:17.480 the formula is eating healthy, exercising, and going to bed early. That's 65 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.839 the formula. Those are the big three. You want to eat from ten 66 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:30.079 am to six pm, that's intermittent fasting, and you want to sleep from 67 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:38.439 ten pm to six am. You can actually reduce your diabetes numbers. By 68 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:46.360 going to bed earlier. You're getting your rest and digest you activate your vegus 69 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.800 nerve, which controls your pancreas. But if you're up it's ten o'clock at 70 00:06:51.920 --> 00:07:00.759 night, you're watching TV, you're snacking on some popcorn, you're looking at 71 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:09.879 the news, or you're watching some zombie apocalypse, you're going to put yourself 72 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:16.800 in stress mode and that's going to affect your autonomic nervous system and your vegus 73 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:23.040 nerve, which will influence your pancreas. So you want to eat from ten 74 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.839 am to six pm. And you want to sleep from ten pm to six 75 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:32.240 am. That's getting your body in good circadium rhythms. That's gonna help reverse 76 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:40.120 diabetes. Then we gotta exercise. You get up at six am, you 77 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.920 have time to exercise. I don't care if it's twenty minutes. But you 78 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.160 gotta exercise every day. I don't care if you just go for a walk, 79 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:53.680 go to the gym, take a bike ride, go hiking, Do 80 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.959 some pushups, some jumping jacks, some sit ups, some lunges, some 81 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.720 squats. Use your body weight, get a little band, get some free 82 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.360 weights. You can do it at home if you want, but move your 83 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.639 body. You use it, or you lose it. Your muscles will become 84 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.160 weak, and your brain will come weak. Your muscles are walking pharmacy. 85 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:22.839 If you have depression, start exercising. Your brain functions at a higher level. 86 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:28.959 You have anxiety, start working out. Your anxiety reduces. So exercise 87 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.480 is the cure for diabetes, but it's also the cure for Alzheimer's disease. 88 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.799 It's also the cure for depression and anxiety. It's also the cure for heart 89 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:52.159 disease and cancer and obesity. Exercise is the cure for every single disease. 90 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:58.080 You gotta move your body. And as the years go on, people are 91 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:03.360 becoming more and more sedentary. Sitting is considered the new smoking. You cannot 92 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:11.519 sit all day. You can't wake up and sit at the table, play 93 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:18.639 on your cell phone, sit at the kitchen table and eat your breakfast and 94 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.399 sit on your car, drive to work, or sit on the bus and 95 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.840 train and commute to work and sit at the computer. You're at work all 96 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:31.360 day and come home and sit on the couch and watch TV. Then sit 97 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:37.159 at the dinner table and eat dinner, and sit at the computer and go 98 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.840 on YouTube and Facebook and then go to bed. Sitting all day, your 99 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:52.039 brain will deteriorate. It'll lead to many neurologic and physical problems. And the 100 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.600 screen time, excessive screen time is no good. There's too much blue light 101 00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:03.360 and that stimulates cortisol, which is the stress hormone that creates more stress, 102 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:09.279 more tension, high blood pressure. So many people with high blood pressure because 103 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:15.960 they're nervous systems in stress mode. Well, you gotta do stuff to distress. 104 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:24.080 Don't watch TV. TV does not distress you. It puts more stress 105 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:31.000 because of the blue light because of the subject matter. I don't care if 106 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:37.120 it's real or fake. You know, the news will put you in stress 107 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.919 mode. Or you're gonna watch Law and Order about murders and rapes. Are 108 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:48.200 you gonna watch some zombie show. Are you gonna watch some war movie? 109 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:56.120 Are you gonna watch some killer you know John Wick, and you know we're 110 00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.559 scary movies and murderers, and you know, everything is It's not lighthearted anymore. 111 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:07.320 There's too much death and shootings and killings and stabbings and blood and gore. 112 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.440 And the real stuff's even worse. There's war in Israel and Ukraine, 113 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:20.360 and there's wildfires, and there's inflation and political corruption and racism and you know, 114 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:33.120 fraud and hurricanes and volcanoes and earthquakes and typhoons and money crisises and the 115 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:41.759 environmental crisis and pollution and you know political tensions. I mean, everything is 116 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:46.279 stress, right. We gotta de stress. We gotta unplugged. Turn off 117 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.639 your phone, turn off your TV, turn off your computer and your iPads. 118 00:11:52.679 --> 00:12:01.000 Stay away from all those screens that will decrease. Cortisol is the stress 119 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:07.240 hormone which will increase the function of your brain and body. This is doctor 120 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:13.279 Eric Kplan.

This month is 134 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:26.600 Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, so we want to make sure that you do what 135 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:33.360 you need to do to prevent Alzheimer's. The three most important factors for prevention 136 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:46.000 of Alzheimer's disease is getting the proper nutrition, getting enough oxygen, and getting 137 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:56.360 enough activation. Okay, now let's start from the beginning. Okay, the 138 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:05.639 nutrition. So we know that diabetes is linked to Alzheimer's disease, and we 139 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:11.080 know the best way to reverse Alzheimer's disease. Number one is exercise, and 140 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:18.559 number two is eating the right foods. If you want to prevent or reverse 141 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:28.000 diabetes, you gotta stay away from the white foods. The sugar, the 142 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:33.080 flour, the bread, the rice, the potatoes, the cereals, the 143 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:39.279 crackers, the oatmeal, the croissants, the muffins, the bread, the 144 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:46.399 bagels, the candy, the cakes, the cookies, the pastries, the 145 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:54.120 milk, the dairy, the cheese. That's all going to be bad. 146 00:14:54.840 --> 00:15:03.360 Stay away from the white foods. Those are gonna aggravate diabetes. Now, 147 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:09.639 what we want to do is eat a lot of the colorful foods red, 148 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:16.879 orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. Eat fruits and vegetables that 149 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:22.080 cover the rainbow. Okay, that's getting your brain the proper nutrition. If 150 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.799 you eat all the colors of the rainbow, then you get all your nutrients. 151 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:31.759 If you avoid the white foods, then you're not going to irritate your 152 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:39.440 nervous system because the brain and nerves have a miling sheet, which is basically 153 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:46.000 fat, insulated fat that will get destroyed by all those white foods, the 154 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:54.960 dairy, the sugar, sodas, juices, lemonades, all the bread products, 155 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.799 all the pasta, all the noodles, all those carbi stuff, rice, 156 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:04.279 potatoes, crackers, all that stuff that's gonna make diabetes worse. We 157 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:10.200 got to avoid that. Then you get the proper fuel delivery to your brain. 158 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.080 That's the food and the oxygen. And how do you get the oxygen. 159 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.559 You got to keep your posture upright. Everybody's slouching down these days. 160 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.240 They're looking down at their cell phone, and you're getting these big hunchbacks. 161 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.080 This is like the reverse of evolution. You give us, see that picture 162 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.120 of evolution where they go with the animals that are that are on fours, 163 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.879 and then they get up a little bit more upright, and the posture keeps 164 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:41.279 on getting better and better till eventually we're completely upright. And that's a human 165 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:48.480 being However, currently we instead of being upright, are now slouched forward, 166 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:53.120 So we're de evolving. It's reversing, and our brains are getting worse. 167 00:16:53.399 --> 00:17:02.279 We're getting stupider. People who head is down don't have weak brains. People 168 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:07.839 who have good posture and head up have good brains. So posture is directly 169 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.200 related to brain function. So if you have to do a lot of sitting, 170 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.079 you gotta take a lot of breaks. You gotta stand up, look 171 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.319 up, roll those shoulders back, stand up, look up, reach for 172 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:26.480 the ceiling. You got to combat it. You got to reverse these poor 173 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:33.759 posture, this text neck, this digital dementia. It's creating a lot of 174 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:41.720 problems. These devices are controlling us and they're ruining our health. You have 175 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:48.400 to unplug, or you have to change the way you use these devices. 176 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:53.920 Keep the device in front of you. Don't look down at the screens, 177 00:17:55.519 --> 00:18:02.039 don't have your computer monitor below eye level, don't look at your phone below 178 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:08.400 eye level. Keep your chin upright and parallel to the floor, and look 179 00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:14.640 straight ahead at whatever device you're using. Whether it's the computer, iPad, 180 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.200 cell phone, I don't care if it's a book, a magazine, a 181 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:26.599 newspaper. Look straight ahead stop looking down all the time. It makes your 182 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:29.960 posture worst. Do you want to be one of these old ladies or old 183 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.279 men all hunched forward? You've seen that, right. You can reverse it, 184 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:41.599 but it's much easier to prevent it. Now. An ounce of prevention 185 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:47.799 is worth a pound of cure. It's so much easier to fix it when 186 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:53.680 you're younger. But you gotta figure out which areas are weak and which areas 187 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:59.799 are strong. So most people do too much of stuff in front of them 188 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.559 and not a stuff in the back. So what do I mean by that? 189 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.359 You know, let's say if you're doing exercises, Let's say a lot 190 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.720 of people do biceps curls. That's the muscle in the front. And do 191 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.759 you know bench pressed or push ups, that's the muscles in the front. 192 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:21.440 We want to start doing exercises for the muscles in the back. Do the 193 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:33.880 rowing machine, do shoulder poles, do back exercises, do extensions. So 194 00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:40.440 bring your body back, look up, do those shoulder rolls backwards. Don't 195 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.920 roll your shoulders forward, they're already to forward. Start rolling them back. 196 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:51.359 That's going to open up your lungs so you can breathe better. It's much 197 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.279 harder to breathe. If your chin's down and your shoulders are rolled in, 198 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:57.359 you're going to decrease your oxygen. You're going to decrease your fuel delivery to 199 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:02.799 your brain. The more you keep your chin upright, the better you breed, 200 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:07.640 and the more oxygen you get. You have to make sure your ribs 201 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:12.160 are in a good position. If your ribs are in a good position, 202 00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:18.119 then you're gonna be able to breathe better. But how many people check their 203 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:25.240 rib position or even know how they would check that. How many doctors check 204 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:30.000 that They don't. They don't try and help you with your oxygen levels. 205 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:37.559 They might put that pulse ox on you. So what a pulse ox siminar. 206 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.880 That's a little thing you put on your finger that measures your oxygen levels. 207 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:44.400 And there's a few things that it can measure, but mostly what you 208 00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:48.440 kind of hear about is the percentage. And they want your percentage to be 209 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:55.640 ninety eight, ninety nine or one hundred. Okay. Now, many doctors 210 00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.720 and hospitals and books will say, hey, if you're above ninety four ninety 211 00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:04.240 five, your doom pretty good. In my clinics at Caplin Brain and Body, 212 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:07.960 and we have clinics in New York and New Jersey. We do a 213 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:15.000 virtual practice as well. We want your oxygen levels to be at least ninety 214 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.240 eight percent, ninety nine percent, ideally one hundred percent. And what that 215 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:23.319 means is that the oxygen that's in your body is going to bind to hemoglobe 216 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:29.240 in and be distributed properly. Because the oxygen by itself is useless, It 217 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:32.920 can't do anything, So it has to be connected to a hemoglobe. And 218 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:38.759 so the hemoglobe and can transport it to the appropriate organ or body function or 219 00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:41.400 whatever. It needs to be accomplixed, whether it's your brain that needs to 220 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:47.680 think, or your heart that needs to pump, or your digestive system that 221 00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:52.759 needs to break down food, or you're pancreas that needs to prevent diabetes. 222 00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:59.920 So it needs to work on those weak areas. We need to get that 223 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:06.279 those signals to work better. And if you get the oxygen bound to hemoglomin 224 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:11.599 you're gonna be able to heal quicker. In fact, oxygen kills off viruses 225 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.640 and bacteria. If you have COVID nineteen, you're a long hauler. If 226 00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:22.400 you have chronic lime disease, or you have a history of epstein bar virus 227 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:27.720 or H. Pylori infections or herpies or these are just very common bacteria and 228 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:33.559 virus infections that we see. We want to oxygen eate these bodies so that 229 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.400 kills off all the viruses. And we do that with hyperbaric oxygen chamber, 230 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:42.680 which is a tank you lion that's one hundred percent oxygen. People love this. 231 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:49.279 Hyperbaric oxygen chamber gives you energy, gives your brain function higher levels, 232 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:55.359 It makes your heart be more efficient, it helps with your digestion. It's 233 00:22:55.359 --> 00:23:00.119 good for Alzheimer's, for Parkinson's, for stroke, for autism, for a 234 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:07.000 multiple sclerosis. It's not just for inner ear problems anymore. It used to 235 00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.039 be for the bends when people went deep sea diving and they got dizzy and 236 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:18.400 because the pressure changes, so repressurized the inner ear and got rid of dizziness 237 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:21.440 and headaches and stuff like that. But then when people are going in the 238 00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:26.440 chamber started crying, skin conditions, healing scars and lesions, and then people 239 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:32.480 started getting more energy, and people started performing better in sports, and they 240 00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:37.079 better digestion and better memory, and better focus and less anxiety and depression and 241 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:44.279 better motivation and focus and all these great things that people started benefiting from, 242 00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:48.519 and lately even COVID nineteen. Now they're putting these Hyperbarrack oxygen chambers in the 243 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:55.480 hospitals because it helps to kill COVID Longhuler syndrome. All right, So this 244 00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:59.200 hyperbaric oxygen jaber, you know, has so many things, and every year 245 00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:02.799 that gets more you know, approved benefits for the FDA. A lot of 246 00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:07.759 it's you know, unapproved, like it's not necessarily can't be you know, 247 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.880 paid for and by Medicare and Medicaid for stuff like that. But you know, 248 00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:17.640 it has so many benefits and people love the results they get. I 249 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:22.559 personally do it just for sports performance, for mental clarity, for energy, 250 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.759 for mood boosting, and I love it. You know, I love the 251 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:32.599 hyperbaric oxygen chamber. It's one hundred percent oxygen. The normal in the air 252 00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.000 oxygen is twenty percent because it's mostly nitrogen carbon dioxide. But in the chamber 253 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:44.559 it's one hundred percent oxygen and it squeezes the oxygen into the cells to increase 254 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:48.839 mitochondria on ATP production. We're gonna give a gift to all my listeners. 255 00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:56.240 The first seven people that call can get one free hyperbaric oxygen chamber session. 256 00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:59.000 If you've never done it at my office, you could literally get it for 257 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.680 free. It's normal only one hundred and seventy five dollars.

This is doctor Eric 275 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:37.240 Kaplan. You're listening to boost your brain power. This month is Alzheimer's Disease 276 00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:45.880 Awareness Month, and we're gonna teach you how to prevent Alzheimer's disease. The 277 00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:55.359 big three are food, oxygen, and activation. To increase oxygen levels, 278 00:26:55.759 --> 00:27:00.119 you have to do breeding exercises. The best breeding exercise to increase your oxygen 279 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:04.759 levels is to inhale for four seconds, hold it for seven seconds, and 280 00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:11.839 exhale for eight seconds. You want to breathe for your diaphragm, So when 281 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.759 you inhale, push your diaphragm down and out, and when you exhale, 282 00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:22.440 suck it in to push out all that carbon dioxide. Also, get some 283 00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:29.720 plants in your home. Spider plants, snake plants, alo vera plants, 284 00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:37.119 money plans. Those are going to increase oxygen levels. So your brain needs 285 00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:42.359 to increase oxygen levels. Now, how do you know if you have decrease 286 00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:49.599 oxygen levels. When we look at a good pulse oximeter instrument, it's not 287 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:52.960 only going to tell us the percentage like that ninety eight, ninety nine or 288 00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:56.640 one hundred percent, but it's also going to tell us the profusion index. 289 00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:02.000 All right. Now, most doctors don't check that perfusion index, but we 290 00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:06.799 wanted above three. So we always check that in our offices to make sure 291 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:11.599 it's above three, so we know if your oxygen levels are low. And 292 00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:17.640 if your oxygen levels are low, we got to do something about that right 293 00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:22.400 away. A lot of times it has to do with your autonomic nervous system. 294 00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:30.440 The autonomic nervous system controls your respiration, controls your lungs, it controls 295 00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:41.359 all of the things we don't think about. It's the automatic nervous system. 296 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:48.599 So with the automatic nervous system or the autonomic nervous system, it controls your 297 00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:55.680 breathing, your blood pressure, diabetes, digestion, if you have digestive problems, 298 00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:02.599 it wridal bow syndrome, Chrohn's disease, also rate of colitis, cebow 299 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:10.319 acid reflux. You better work on your autonomic nervous system. And what do 300 00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:15.000 I mean, work on your autonomic nervous system. Well, just like you 301 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:19.200 could work on your muscles and go to the gym and do weightlifting and stretching 302 00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:27.279 and exercises, you can do brain exercise. It's specific for the autonomic nervous 303 00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:33.799 system. So brain exercise. What does that mean. Well, there's four 304 00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:38.839 nerves that are linked to what's called your parasympathetic nervous system. So if you're 305 00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:41.359 one of these people that are in stress mode, you're in this spight or 306 00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.359 flight mode. You're always on edge, your mind's racing a million miles per 307 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:52.359 hour, you have anxiety. You're in stress mode all the time. You 308 00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.440 can't sleep well, you're a light sleeper, You get up to p a 309 00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:00.480 lot, or you wake up all groggy, and that means your autonomic nervous 310 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:07.960 system isn't working properly. I had a patient yesterday. She's a virtual patient, 311 00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:14.359 so we don't see her at the office. We do it online, 312 00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:19.720 and I've only seen her about four or five times, and yesterday I was 313 00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:25.680 so great. She goes, she goes doctor Kaplan. This is the first 314 00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:33.599 time in twenty years that I woke up and had energy that I wasn't groggy. 315 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:38.200 I didn't need a cup of coffee. I woke up on my own 316 00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:47.200 accord, without an alarm clock, with no drugs, no medication, no 317 00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:55.000 surgery. All she did was this process that we taught her called neuroplasticity, 318 00:30:55.920 --> 00:31:03.680 where we rewired the brain to get yet more activity. If we want the 319 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:11.000 brain to prevent Alzheimer's, we need good food, we need proper oxygen, 320 00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:18.440 and we need proper activation. The activation can occur by doing brain exercises. 321 00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:26.799 The best brain exercises that are going to help you with your autonomic nervous system 322 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.759 to get out of this stress mode to function at a higher level are linked 323 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:36.839 to these four nerves of the parasympathetic nervous system. The first nerve is called 324 00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:41.720 the ocular motor nerve, and that's eye muscles. So we got to move 325 00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:47.720 our eyes very specific eye exercises. One of the exercises you could do at 326 00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:51.240 home that are very easy to do are called no No, Yes, Yes 327 00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:55.960 exercise. And what this is You just take a post a note, put 328 00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:00.640 a dot, tape it on your wall, stand eye all arm's length away, 329 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:06.319 Look at that dot. Slowly turn your head forty five degrees to the 330 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:09.599 right, forty five degrees to the left, back and forth, right and 331 00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:15.279 left very slowly, ten times left and right, and then ten times up 332 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:19.599 and down. That's called a no, no, yes, yes exercise, 333 00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:24.559 and it's going to strengthen your brain, your eyes, and your autonomic nervous 334 00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:30.480 system. The second nerve is the facial nerve, and we can do lots 335 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:36.440 of different exercises, different sensory exercises, motor exercise. We could stimulate this 336 00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:39.319 tragus part of your ear, which is linked to the facial nerve. We 337 00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:44.880 could do the optic blink reflexes where we just blow air into the eye and 338 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:49.759 that stimulates cranial nerve seven, which is called the facial nerve link to this 339 00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:57.400 parasympathetic nervous system. These are literally brain exercises that you could do just by 340 00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:04.160 using the neurosigns to strengthen your weak area if it is the autonomic nervous system. 341 00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:08.920 The fourth nerve or the third nerve in the paris empathetic nervous system is 342 00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:15.039 called the glosso pharyngeal that's the tongue, so we could do a lot of 343 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:21.160 tongue exercises. We could do even taste like if you put bitter on the 344 00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:28.559 back of your tongue that activates this glosso pharyngeal nerve. The gag reflex or 345 00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:36.119 gargling will activate this nerve to make your autonomic nervous system work better. That 346 00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:40.039 actually relaxes your brain. If you're in stress mode, you can actually do 347 00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:45.920 the gag reflex or gargle, and that helps to relax your nervous system. 348 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:52.359 That's a neurologic exercise using a process called neuroplasticity to rewire the brain specific to 349 00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:57.200 the areas of weakness. And that was only appropriate for you. If you 350 00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:00.359 are in this whole stress moved this spiight or flight mode, your autonomic nervous 351 00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:05.839 system isn't working properly. Your vegus nerve isn't working, so you can't sleep 352 00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:09.159 and you can't digest, and you feel these heart palpitations and you're always nervous 353 00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:15.280 and panic. Then it's probably appropriate for you, but we got to make 354 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:20.440 sure we figure out first if it's appropriate for you. Other people might need 355 00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:23.639 to strengthen their brain. The might need to do memory exercise and balance exercises, 356 00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:30.079 so you might need more stimulation and focus exercises. Right, all right, 357 00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:35.119 So what's the fourth nerve for This parasympathetic nervous system is called your vegus 358 00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:37.760 nerve. A lot of people have heard this vegas nerve and we talked about 359 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:43.320 it before. That's linked to the diabetes and the pancreas. It's linked to 360 00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:49.320 digestive issues that rest and digest. It's linked to insomnia. So this vegas 361 00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:52.760 nerve is very important and there's there's lots of ways that we could activate it. 362 00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:57.239 I do. It's called this corotid massage or these little swallowing exercises. 363 00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.880 Vegas nervous kind of located in the next There be a lot of that has 364 00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:06.920 to do with the neck. But we can activate this vagus nerve through this 365 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:12.840 neuroplasticity of rewiring the brain. But we gotta figure out where the problems are 366 00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:17.519 first. One of the best tests you could do to figure out where the 367 00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:23.440 problems are is called a qEEG brain mapping. This is a great test because 368 00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:29.679 there's no radiation, there's no contrast fluid. You don't have to lie in 369 00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:35.800 some small claustrophobic tube for forty minutes with all these loud sounds that are gonna 370 00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:39.119 make your brain more stressed. All you do is sit in a chair wear 371 00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:44.039 this little cap that sort of looks like a swimmer's cap. It's got electrodes 372 00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:47.400 attached to all the different areas of your brain and it measures your your brain 373 00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:51.800 waves. Your alpha brain waves, which is how you kind of normally are 374 00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:54.159 during the day, and your beta brain waves, which is when we need 375 00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:59.880 to really think and focus and concentrate, or your theta brain waves that's what 376 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:04.719 you're just kind of daydreaming in La la land. Then you got your delta 377 00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:08.800 brain waves that's when you're sleeping and your brain isn't resting and relaxing. So 378 00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:14.440 it measures all these different brain waves and based on the location of the abnormal 379 00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:17.079 brain waves, will determine where your dysfunction is. And this will tell us, 380 00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:20.920 Hey, do you have insomnia, Do you have anxiety? Do you 381 00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:24.119 have depression? Do you have difficulties shifting tasks? Do you have problems with 382 00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:30.159 acetocholine or dopamine. Do you have a concussion or having metal poisoning. Do 383 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:36.559 you have problems with working memory, short term memory, long term memory, 384 00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:42.039 sequential memory. Do you have anger or aggression? Do you have punctuality problems, 385 00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:46.039 motivation problems, problems with your eyes or your ears or your balance. 386 00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:52.840 It literally breaks down all the different parts of your brain and it analyzes it 387 00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:59.480 and con locate which parts of the brains are functioning well and which parts of 388 00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:04.679 the brains aren't not functioning well. So, based on this qEEG brain mapping, 389 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:09.119 we could literally analyze the brain in a natural, holistic way and come 390 00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:15.960 up with strategies on how to increase the function of those weak areas. But 391 00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:21.679 the first step is to do a qee G brain mapping. And we're gonna 392 00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:28.559 give a gift to the first seven listeners that call text email us. Okay, 393 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:35.039 instead of paying the normal five hundred dollars for qee G brain mapping, 394 00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:38.920 all you have to do is pay twenty one dollars. That is it, 395 00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:45.800 call us or text us. The number is six four six two two one 396 00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:52.199 six seven three eight, or you can email info at Kaplinbrain Andbody dot com. 397 00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:57.239 Just tell them that you're one of the listeners of my show and you 398 00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:00.239 want to be one of the first seven people to do the qu uk you 399 00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:05.960 EEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. This is doctor Eric Kaplan. 400 00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:10.079 More when we come back from the break, If you want to improve your 401 00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:15.199 brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, 402 00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:19.679 depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches, brain fog, 403 00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:23.800 weight loss, or simply want to maximize your human potential and prevent future diseases 404 00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:29.760 that this is the show for you.

Doctor Caplin is most famous for getting to 409 00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:53.320 the root cause of a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than 410 00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:59.519 treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To contact doctor Caplin, you 411 00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:02.719 can call it team at two O one two six one two zero or visit 412 00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:10.239 his website at kaplindc dot com. Welcome back to boost your brain power. 413 00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:20.639 I'm your host, Doctor Eric Kaplan. This month is Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, 414 00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:27.639 and we want to give you the best strategies to prevent or reverse dementia 415 00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:37.159 Alzheimer's disease. The three most important factors are fuel delivery number one, which 416 00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:43.840 is nutrition, and number two oxygen, and then the third is activation. 417 00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:51.800 You gotta activate your brain. You gotta work your brain, especially on your 418 00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:55.559 weak areas. Most people are comfortable doing the stuff they're good at. You 419 00:39:55.599 --> 00:40:00.960 gotta start doing the stuff you're not good at. Change it up. Brush 420 00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:07.719 your teeth with your left hand instead of your right hand. Eat your dinner 421 00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:15.599 with your left hand instead of your right hand. Brush your hair with your 422 00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:21.360 left hand, shave with your left hand. Practice hitting a tennis ball with 423 00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:24.440 your left hand, shooting a basketball with your left hand, throwing a baseball 424 00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:29.800 with your left hand. Switch it up. Don't take the same root to 425 00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:34.119 work every day. Take a new route. Don't sit on the same side 426 00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:37.360 of the subway every day. Sit on the other side. Don't be a 427 00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:46.039 creature of habit. Repetition can make the brain weak. Novelty doing new things 428 00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:55.360 will strengthen your brain. People blame age for their memory getting worse. It's 429 00:40:55.599 --> 00:41:01.840 novelty. They're not doing anything new. You have to do new things every 430 00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:07.280 single day of your life until you die. Start doing new things. Everyone's 431 00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:15.440 jealous of kids' brains because kids learn so easily. It's because they're always learning 432 00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:23.840 new things. Their brain is highly active. An adult brain is dead. 433 00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:28.159 It's sick. If you look at these functional Mriyes, you know, the 434 00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:32.559 adult brain looks looks black. Kid's brain looks red and orange and yellow, 435 00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:37.119 all this activity. You know, if you weren't trained, you would think 436 00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:39.440 like, an adult brain is just a dead brain, and a child's brain 437 00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:44.840 isn't a live brain. An adult brain looks dead because it's never active, 438 00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:50.039 it's never challenged, and especially with all the technology, it's even worse. 439 00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:53.760 Right, I'm forty five years old. When I was growing up, I 440 00:41:53.840 --> 00:42:00.320 knew everybody's phone number, all my friends, even people I didn't even wasn't 441 00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:04.920 friends, and I still knew their phone numbers too, right. How many 442 00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:10.519 phone numbers do you know now? Not too many? Right? When I 443 00:42:10.559 --> 00:42:14.840 was growing up and I'd say, Mom, how do you spell this? 444 00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:17.360 Say look it up, I'd have to go and look it up in the 445 00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:22.639 dictionary. There was no spell check. You know. When I need to 446 00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:28.719 learn something, we went to the library and looked it up in an encyclopedia, 447 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:36.199 and you read it and you memorized it. You learned it wasn't just 448 00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:42.119 Google. Google has become your brain. And when I was growing up, 449 00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:46.599 if you had to find directions, you would open up a map, trace 450 00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:52.199 it out, figure out the best directions, memorize landmarks, street names. 451 00:42:53.159 --> 00:43:00.039 Now just put in your GPS. You don't have to do anything. The 452 00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:06.880 brains are becoming weaker and weaker because of the technology, so you have to 453 00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:10.199 do stuff to challenge your brain. You have to learn new things and not 454 00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:15.599 just doing a crossword puzzle or wordle every day. Let's thinking the same way. 455 00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:23.039 You gotta change it up. Play some games you don't do. Play 456 00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:32.119 chess, checkers, connect for monopoly, clue, scrabble, lay texas, 457 00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:40.159 hold them. Play stuff that's social, that's fun, that's new. If 458 00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:45.119 you could do something that's active, even better. Take a dancing lesson, 459 00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:52.960 learn how to play the drums, learn some gardening. So stuff where you 460 00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:57.920 could learn stuff and move your body at the same time is even better. 461 00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:00.679 Movement is key. You don't want to just be playing brain games on the 462 00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:07.880 computer. We said we got to unplug. You could do like what's called 463 00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:10.519 a crosscrawl exercise. That's where you sort of just march in place, lifting 464 00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:15.320 those legs up really high, and then tap your right hand to your left 465 00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:20.119 knee when the knee comes up, and then tap your left hand to the 466 00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:24.079 right knee when the knee comes up, and you just hit each leg right, 467 00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:27.119 left, right, left, and as you do it, you do 468 00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:31.480 a mental exercise, you know. So you would do different countries, different 469 00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:37.880 states, different sports, different cars, different names, different colors, different 470 00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:43.800 body parts, different clothes, you know, just kind of every day you 471 00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:49.400 do a different category and you make your brain think, and you do that 472 00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:53.280 for thirty seconds and try and come up with fifteen different things of each category. 473 00:44:54.360 --> 00:45:01.000 That's a brain game. Or try this exercise you do with your left 474 00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:06.519 leg, draw clockwise circles and keep doing it over and over and over again, 475 00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:08.719 and at the same time, without stopping moving your left leg and the 476 00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:13.920 clockwise circle direction, draw a big number six with your left hand in the 477 00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:20.119 air. And usually what happened, the legs automatically reverses and try to kind 478 00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:22.880 of mimics the six. But the idea is to resist that and keep doing 479 00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:28.239 those clockwise circles as you draw the number six. That's a new exercise that 480 00:45:28.239 --> 00:45:31.400 you've never done. That's going to challenge your brain. And we got thousands 481 00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:36.159 of them, right, but we got to figure out which part of the 482 00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:39.599 brain we need to analyze. One of the best tests to figure out which 483 00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:45.480 brain part of the brain to analyze and to stimulates called a VNG video and 484 00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:50.159 astography. This test is great because there's no radiation. Also, there's no 485 00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:54.960 two, there's no contrast fluid, there's no risk. You wear these infrared 486 00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:59.760 goggles that measure your eye movements and can tell us which parts of the brain 487 00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:06.280 are overactive and which are underactive. If the brain's overactive, you're gonna have 488 00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:09.679 like ADHD. Your mind's racing all the time. You might even get heart 489 00:46:09.719 --> 00:46:15.679 palpitations. You might get anxiety, you might have difficulty with sleeping or digestive 490 00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:19.840 problems. You might worry all the time, or have these negative thoughts in 491 00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:24.159 your head. Are always being stressed out. That's overactive brain. The vg 492 00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:30.079 is gonna pick that up. Or you might have an underactive brain, low 493 00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:42.360 energy, fatigue, low motivation, depression, can't think brain fog. It's 494 00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:45.760 an underactive brain. The VNG will pick up. Hey, is the right 495 00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:51.320 side underactive or is the left side that's underactive. Is it the right side 496 00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:53.480 that's overactive or is it the left It also breaks it down, is it 497 00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:59.119 more in the frontal cortex, which are from more fast eye movements or cycads, 498 00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:01.679 Or is it from the more the sensory the parietal core text which are 499 00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:05.159 a little bit slower eye movements. Or does it have to do with your 500 00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:08.800 cerebellum, which has to do with you know, the way uh you respond 501 00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:13.039 to movement? Or is it from your brain stem how do you respond to 502 00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:17.039 light? So we could literally analyze all these different areas of the brain using 503 00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:22.800 the eyes and come up with a good diagnosis of which areas are weak, 504 00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:28.159 in which areas are strong, which areas are underactive, which areas are overactive. 505 00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:30.599 You know, is the left brain connecting to the right brain. This 506 00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:35.480 is a great test that's not invasive. And we're gonna give a gift to 507 00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:39.039 my listeners for the first seven people that call. Instead of paying the normal 508 00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:45.159 five hundred dollars for VNG, you only have to pay twenty one dollars. 509 00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:47.159 You just have to be one of the first seven people to call.
