WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.799 The following is a paid podcast. iHeartRadio's hosting of this podcast constitutes neither an 2 00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:10.919 endorsement of the products offered or the ideas expressed. Function better, feel better, 3 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:16.679 and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening 4 00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:22.000 to boost your brain power. There are lots of ways to boost your brain 5 00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:27.519 power, and it all starts from healing your brain from within. There's no 6 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:35.200 magic supplement, herb, medication, pill or drug that's going to increase your 7 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:41.439 brain function to prevent Alzheimer's or dementia. If there was, everyone would take 8 00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:45.799 it and no one would have memory problems. But it seems that memory problems 9 00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.320 keep getting worse and worse and worse. And there's all these little products out 10 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:56.320 there, whether it's for everaging that's going to improve your brain function and take 11 00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.399 riddle in for your focus, and they're always trying to find this magic herb 12 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:06.159 or this supplement or this drug that's going to fix your brain. It's not 13 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.680 gonna happen. But the truth is your brain can improve as you get older 14 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:17.079 as long as you do the right things. The first and most important thing 15 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:22.599 is novelty. You have to do new things. Don't be doing the same 16 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:27.920 things every week, even if they're healthy things. Right, if you always 17 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.359 go to the gym on Monday and exercise the same way and go on your 18 00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.680 treadmill for half an hour and do a little waits for twenty minutes, that's 19 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.359 great. But if it's the same thing every time, it's no good. 20 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.920 You might think you're healthy. Oh, I eat chicken and broccoli every day, 21 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.640 and I have eggs every morning, and I have a piece of fish 22 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.079 and a salad every night. Isn't that good? You don't want to have 23 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.799 the same food every night. You don't want to have kale every day. 24 00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.120 You don't want to have fish every day. You don't want to have eggs 25 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.640 every day. You don't want to have almonds every day. You don't want 26 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:09.400 to do anything every day. Switch it up. Switch up your food, 27 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.240 switch up your exercise routine. You don't want to do the crossword puzzle every 28 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:21.039 day. It's not good. Do the crossword puzzle on Monday, but Sudoku 29 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.199 on Tuesday, and amaze on Wednesday, at a jigsaw puzzle on Thursday. 30 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.199 Then play Monopoly with your family on Friday, and then play cards with your 31 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:37.280 boys on Saturday. Then play chess with your kids on Sunday. Every day, 32 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:43.000 do something different if you can make it social even better. But stop 33 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:47.360 playing just wordle every day and think that you're improving your brain function. No, 34 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:55.319 you're not. The Internet makes your brain worse. Unplug get off your 35 00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:02.120 devices and start being more social, more active and doing new activities, meeting 36 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:09.599 new people, visiting new places. Novelty is the key to improving your brain 37 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.879 function. As you get older, are you doing something new every day? 38 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.479 Probably not. Start to change it up. When people come to my offices, 39 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.879 whether it's the virtual visits, the New Jersey office, the New York 40 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:30.319 office, or my home visits, we're always doing something new. You're never 41 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:37.240 going to get the same treatment because your brain needs different stimulations to function at 42 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:42.319 a higher level. So you got to change it up. That's novelty. 43 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:49.599 The number one most important factor to improve your memory, improve your brain function 44 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:55.159 is novelty. This month is Alzheimer's Awareness Month. We don't want to get 45 00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.840 Alzheimer's, we want to prevent Alzheimer's. I can't tell you how many people, 46 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:08.599 especially these baby boomers, as they're getting older and older and they're not 47 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:14.319 doing new things, and they're relying on the technology and you have more of 48 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:19.279 a sedentary lifestyle, and you're eating more of the crappy food that America supplies 49 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:26.199 you. Your brain is getting worse. It's not because you're older. Don't 50 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:32.160 believe the lie your brain can improve as you age. You just have to 51 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:39.839 do the work and starts with novelty, something new every day. Do you 52 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.800 have to learn a new language every day? No, but it might be 53 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:49.959 good to learn a few words of different languages. Do you have to learn 54 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.800 a new musical instrument to play? Now? You don't have to, but 55 00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:00.240 guess what that would be a really good brain exercise. Learn how to play 56 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:06.199 an instrument. Learn how to put stuff together. Learn some carpentry, learn 57 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:14.279 gardening, learn how to cook different foods. Join a book club, meet 58 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:19.639 new people. Go on vacation to places you've never been, and when you 59 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:26.800 go to these places learn. Go to a museum, find out some history, 60 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:32.920 remember some facts of where you are, remember your address and how to 61 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:41.120 get there. Don't use Google Maps, don't put in your GPS. Google 62 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:48.079 and YouTube are making you stupid. It's called digital dementia. Stop relying on 63 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:55.759 all the technology and think that it'sn't making you smarter. The more you use 64 00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:02.839 the technology. The worse your brain gets. The more you unplug, the 65 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:10.160 stronger your brain will get. You got to turn off those devices, and 66 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.399 yes when you need to use it. Right. Let's say you work and 67 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:18.120 you need to check your emails. Okay, that's fine, but put away, 68 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.399 you know, maybe an hour in the morning and an hour in the 69 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:30.000 afternoon to do your emails or to check your text messages, or to do 70 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:38.360 your paperwork. Don't be on the computer scrolling all day. Give yourself an 71 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.519 hour in the morning an hour in the afternoon to get all your computer work 72 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.199 done. Now, if it's part of your job. You're in customer service, 73 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.600 you got to be on the computer. You gotta be on there the 74 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.000 whole time. I get it. If you have to do it, just 75 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:59.279 make sure you take twenty minute breaks. That's the twenty rule. Every twenty 76 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.040 minutes, you get up for twenty seconds, you walk twenty feet and you 77 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:08.480 look twenty feet away. These devices are really bad, not only for your 78 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:13.360 brain, but for your eyes. Our eyes are not meant for flat screens. 79 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:19.639 Our ears are not meant for the speakers. We need depth perception, 80 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:26.839 we need surround sound. We need stuff we could touch and smell and feel 81 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:31.800 and taste and see and hear. We got to use our senses. The 82 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.759 computers, the iPads and the cell phones take away our senses. They're not 83 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:43.199 being used appropriately. We are not two dimensional beings. We are three dimensional, 84 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:48.360 maybe even more. But we need to use those three dimensions. You 85 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:54.120 need the depth perception. If your eyes are becoming weak, start doing Brock 86 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:58.920 string exercises. Just like if you want your memory to improve, you could 87 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.600 do memory exercises. If you want your eyes to improve, you could do 88 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:07.680 eye exercises, and it starts with brock string. Brock We can get those 89 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.279 for you at our office. You can make them yourself if you want, 90 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.360 but I gotta teach you how to use them. They're very good at improving 91 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:24.879 your near vision and your far vision. I have really bad vision growing up. 92 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.920 I've had glasses ever since I've been in elementary school, and every year 93 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.759 my vision would get worse up until about thirty seven years old, when I 94 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:39.679 was going to my eye doctor for another prescription because my eyes would get worse 95 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.799 every single year. So every single year I needed to increase my prescription for 96 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.480 my glasses. And at thirty seven, my doctor said, soon you're gonna 97 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.960 need bifocals, and I said, thirty seven, what am I gonna need 98 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.720 buyfocals for. He said, oh, yes, after the age of forty, 99 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.600 not only does your far vision get worse, your near vision gets worse. 100 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.759 And I said, what are you talking about. He says, there's 101 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.559 nothing you could do about it. That just happens with old age. And 102 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:13.039 that triggered me because I don't like when doctors say things get worse with old 103 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:18.639 age. Don't believe the lie. Your memory can get better as you age. 104 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:26.519 You can get less joint pain as you age, your posture can improve 105 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.919 as you age, and your vision can improve as you age. You just 106 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:39.519 have to do vision exercises. So don't believe the lie that things get worse 107 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.679 as you get older. You just got to do the work. You gotta 108 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.200 be the one percent, not the ninety nine percent. The ninety nine percent. 109 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.960 It's heart disease, gets cancer, gets Alzheimer's, their memory gets worse, 110 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.080 their vision gets worse, their posture gets worse. They get more pain, 111 00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.120 more depression, more anxiety, sleap gets worse. Their energy decreases, 112 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:09.720 their obesity increases, their blood pressure increases, more medication, more doctor visits, 113 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:15.360 more hospital of visits. That's the ninety nine percent of Americans. You've 114 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:20.120 got to be the one percent where you get more energy as you get older. 115 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.080 Your memory improves as you get older, your vision improves as you get 116 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:30.080 older, your nutrition improves, your sleep improves, your focus improves. You 117 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:35.000 just got to do the work. It's not easy, but it's possible. 118 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:43.399 Just don't do what everyone else is doing. Everyone else will lead you to 119 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:50.559 the wrong path. They'll get your boozing every night. They'll get your eating 120 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:56.360 your pizza and your ice cream. Have this little piece of cake? What's 121 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.240 wrong with you? How can you only eat your fruits and your veggies. 122 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.559 Don't let listen to the haters. Be around people that are into health and 123 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:09.559 well being. You're gonna be who you surround yourself with. So if you 124 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:15.840 surround yourself with unhealthy people, you're gonna become unhealthy. If you surround yourself 125 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:22.320 with poor people, you're gonna become poor. If you surround yourself with people 126 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:28.320 who are selfish, you're gonna be selfish. If you're gonna surround yourself with 127 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:35.320 people who are not motivated, you're going to decrease your motivation. So I 128 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:41.519 always want to be around healthy people. I want to be around successful people. 129 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:48.240 I want to be around happy people, giving people, loving people, 130 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:56.000 spiritual people. That is my crowd. If that's you, let's hang out. 131 00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:03.000 If you are someone who likes to abuse their body, sleep in, 132 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:09.559 not exercise, not hydrate, get drunk every night, eat all this junk 133 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:15.120 food and fast food, go to the bar. Don't hang out with me. 134 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:22.039 That's not going to help my health improve. So if you want to 135 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:28.559 surround yourself with healthier people, you will function better, feel better, and 136 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:33.840 live a better life.

The most important thing to improve your memory and focus is novelty, 152 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:56.039 doing new things. The second most important thing to improve your brain function as 153 00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.840 you get older is fuel delivery. What is the fuel. It's the sun. 154 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:09.559 That's fuel that gives your brain power fitam. Indeed, the hormone comes 155 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:15.320 from the sun. We need the sun. A lot of people will have 156 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:20.399 you think the sun is bad for you, that the sun causes problems. 157 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:26.559 The sun is healing. You have to go out in the sun. Stop 158 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:35.840 being inside all day. Get out, exercise, meditate, breathe, go 159 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.840 for a walk, take out the dog, play some sports, go hiking, 160 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.399 be in nature. Just get outside and get some sunlight. If you 161 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.799 have to work all day, just during your lunchtime. I don't care if 162 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.960 it's fifteen or twenty minutes. Go out in the sun. Take off your 163 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.000 hat, take off your glasses, roll up your sleeves, roll up your 164 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:03.320 pant legs. Get some skin exposure to the sun. Do not hide in 165 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.919 the shade, do not hide behind the building. Get some sunlight. The 166 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:13.639 sun will boost your immune system. The sun will improve your thyroid and hormones. 167 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:20.120 The sun will give you energy. The sun will help prevent dementia and 168 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:28.039 Alzheimer's. The sun helps with multiple sclerosis and autoimmune disease. There is so 169 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.759 much powerful healing in the sun. Don't be scared of it. You know, 170 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.000 if you have a history of skin cancer, that's a little bit different. 171 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.720 You know, you can use zinc oxide to protect yourself. But for 172 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.440 most people, you want to be in the sun, and you don't want 173 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.039 to use all this suntan lotion and these sunscreens. Stay away from CBS and 174 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.679 the banana boone and all this crap. Suntan lotion is the most toxic substance 175 00:15:54.679 --> 00:16:00.399 you can put on your skin. It causes skin cancer. Do you think 176 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:06.559 that these sunscreens and suntan lotions is protecting you from skin cancer. All those 177 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:11.879 chemicals will lead to skin cancer. The samest thing to put on your body 178 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:18.240 to protect yourself from getting sun burnt is zinc oxide. That's if you're out 179 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.960 in the sun all day long with all your skin exposed and very pale skin 180 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:29.320 that you're gonna get red and burnt, then you use zinc oxide. That's 181 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:34.399 the most safe type of protection from the sun. But most of the time 182 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:40.919 we don't want any protection. Use that sun. Go out during sunrise so 183 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:44.679 you can see the sun, get your day started. Increase that cortiso in 184 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.600 testosterone. You don't need a cup of coffee. Watch the sun rise as 185 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.200 you go for a morning walk. That will give you the energy you need. 186 00:16:55.120 --> 00:17:00.200 Not coffee. That's fake energy, it's not real. Cocaine can give 187 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.960 you energy, but it's not real. Caffeine can give you energy, but 188 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:10.319 it's not real. The real way to get the energy is from the sun. 189 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.680 It's from the food. From the water. That's your fuel delivery. 190 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:26.079 Sunlight number one, water number two, and food number three. That's your 191 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:30.839 fuel delivery. The last thing that's important for fuel delivery is oxygen. You 192 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:37.079 need your oxygen. So if you have all four of those things the sun, 193 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:45.640 water, food, oxygen. Your brain is gonna get the energy it 194 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.279 needs to function its highest level. But most people do not get enough sun 195 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:56.039 and their vitamin D deficient. Most people do not get enough oxygen, Most 196 00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:03.799 people do not get enough water, they're dehydrated, and most people do not 197 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:11.680 get the proper nutrients. So most people, the ninety nine percent, are 198 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:17.359 missing all four aspects of the fuel delivery, the sun, the water, 199 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:22.319 the oxygen, and the food. So we said for the sun every day, 200 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.799 at least between twelve and two lunchtime, go outside for fifteen to twenty 201 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:33.160 minutes. Get your skin exposure. Get your vitamin D every day. Get 202 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.400 your water. Supposed to drink half your body weight in ounces. If you 203 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.960 weigh one hundred and sixty pounds, you have to drink eighty ounces of water 204 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:48.519 every day. That would be ten eight ounce glasses eighty ounces every day. 205 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.920 The best time to drink water is on an empty stomach. Stop drinking water 206 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.559 with your meal and after your meal. You have to drink it a half 207 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:02.079 hour before your meal on an empty store. First thing in the morning, 208 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.000 before you do any anything, drink water. Then you drink water a half 209 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.240 hour before breakfast, a half hour before lunch, a half hour before dinner, 210 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.400 drink it at night. You should be able to drink a full glass 211 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:18.680 of water right before bed and sleep throughout the whole night without having getting up 212 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.119 to pee. If you do, then you have an issue in your nervous 213 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.079 system and what's called your micturition center. That's in your frontal cortex, the 214 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.960 same part of the brain that controls Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. That's why a lot 215 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:37.799 of people with neurological degenerative disorders end up in a nursing home wearing a diaper 216 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.720 because they cannot control their bladder from their frontal cortex. One of the earliest 217 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:49.160 signs of frontal cortex demise is lack of smell. If you're losing your smell, 218 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:56.200 you're losing your brain function. Smell goes forty years before Alzheimer's or parkinson 219 00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:02.359 shows up. The best smell test is called a peanut butter smell test. 220 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:07.319 That's the most sensitive. So check your smell by looking up peanut butter and 221 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:11.240 how far can you smell the peanut butter. The further you could keep it 222 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.920 away from your nostril, the better, the better your nose. If you 223 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.920 have to hold it right up to smell that peanut butter, that's not good. 224 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.279 And check the difference between your right nostril and your left nostril. If 225 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.079 one side smells much better than the other, that means you have a brain 226 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.880 in balance, and that's not good either. For your frontal cortex. That's 227 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:38.519 where dementia starts from the frontal cortex. Frontal temporal dementia a big common problem 228 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:45.920 in modern society. Alzheimer's disease is occurring in one out of every three people. 229 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.680 It's pretty crazy. In the senior citizen community. One out of every 230 00:20:52.839 --> 00:21:00.160 three people are dying of Alzheimer's disease. It's taken over. Heart disease and 231 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:04.960 cancer have been number one for a long time. But now we're thinking within 232 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.640 probably ten years, Alzheimer's going to take over number one. Heart disease will 233 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:14.480 be number two, cancer will be number three. But right now, the 234 00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:18.759 leaning cause of death is heart disease, all right, And a big cause 235 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.240 of heart disease is stress. You got to reduce your stress. If you 236 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:26.519 want to prevent stroke, heart attacks, you got to reduce your stress. 237 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:32.359 The most common time for hoping and heart attack and stroke is Monday morning when 238 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:36.039 people are stressed out. They have to go to a work, go to 239 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:40.119 a job that they don't like, hanging out with people that they don't enjoy, 240 00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.680 maybe living in a place that they don't want to be, and they 241 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.640 realize they don't like their life and they're stressed out, so that's when they 242 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:55.960 end up getting a stroke and a heart attack. Inflammation causes stroke and heart 243 00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:03.559 attack, and inflammation can be aggravated by emotional stress. Inflammation can aggravated by 244 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:07.920 a poor diet. You have too much coffee, too much alcohol, too 245 00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:15.799 much sugar, junk, food preservatives, food dyes, anything in boxes or 246 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:25.400 cans or bags is going to be inflammatory. Your cleaning supplies can be inflammatory. 247 00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:30.440 Your laundry detergent can be inflammatory. The candle that you burn can be 248 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:36.920 inflammatory. The pans that you use to cook can be inflammatory. The foods 249 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:42.920 that you eat can be inflammatory. The emotional stress you're dealing with can be 250 00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:52.640 inflammatory. The chemical exposure, the makeups, the hair dye, the soaps, 251 00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.599 the shampoos, the conditioners, the lotions we already talked about, the 252 00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:03.440 suntail lotion, those can all be tied inflammatory. Heavy metals are everywhere, 253 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:07.880 Illuminum cans, illuminum foil, aluminum pants. There's aluminum in the air, 254 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:14.440 there's aluminum medication, mercury in the fish, arsenic in the apple juice and 255 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:19.839 the brown rice, lead in the pipes and the paints. There's chemicals everywhere. 256 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:25.400 There's fluoride in the water and the toothpaste. It's a no neurotoxin. 257 00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:27.480 When I go to the dentist, I tell them I don't want the fluoride. 258 00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:34.039 I don't want a neurotoxin. I don't drink water with fluoride in it. 259 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:41.240 It's a neurotoxin. I get my toothpaste without fluoride. I've never had 260 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.480 a cavity in my life. I'm forty six years old that I had one 261 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.440 cavity in my life. I never use fluoride. I don't get dental X 262 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:56.039 rays. I brush my teeth a lot, I floss. I take very 263 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.359 good care. I eat very healthy, no cavities, Never gotten a cavity, 264 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:07.440 beautiful teeth. You don't have to get cavities. How horrible is it 265 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:14.839 to have bad teeth and root canals? Ginger bitas all these infections start doing 266 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.640 oil pulling that will kill off the bacteria. In your mouth every morning, 267 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.000 before you even swallow, take a bunch of coconut oil, swish it around 268 00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:27.759 your mouth, push it all around, and then after thirty seconds to two 269 00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:32.759 minutes, you spit it out. That kills up all the bad bacteria. 270 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.119 So you'll function better, feel better, and live a better life. This 271 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:42.079 is doctor Eric Kaplan.

The four most important factors for 286 00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:03.799 fuel delivery are sunlight, oxygen, and water and food. It's basically all 287 00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.960 free stuff. You don't have to pay for sunlight, you have to pay 288 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:15.000 for water, you don't have to pay for oxygen. You don't even have 289 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:19.200 to pay for food. Just take the food that you already have and plant 290 00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.880 those seeds, and you will have food for the rest of your life for 291 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:29.680 free. Take advantage. It's not that hard to be healthy. The more 292 00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:34.039 basic and natural you keep it, the healthy you are. Stay away from 293 00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:38.319 all the technology, Stay away from all these medicines and pills and herbs and 294 00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:45.359 supplements, all these doctors and X rays and ultrasounds and all these tests and 295 00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.960 hospital visits. The healthiest people are the ones that take the least drugs, 296 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:53.240 the least pills, see the least doctors go to the hospital of the least. 297 00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:57.480 Those are the healthiest ones. The unhealthiest ones are the ones that see 298 00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:03.720 the doctors the most kind of weird but that's the way it works in America. 299 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.079 Can't explain about other countries. I think it's different. But in America, 300 00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.440 you gotta stay away from the medical system. You gotta stay away from 301 00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:17.359 the foods that everyone's eating. You gotta stay away from the stresses of the 302 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:25.720 American life. Reduce your stress. Start spending time in nature. Get some 303 00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:33.160 physical exercise. There's a great book called Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Read it 304 00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:38.799 fifteen times. I learned something new every time I read it. It's stoicism. 305 00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:48.480 I'm a Stoic. I study stoicism. Stoic, a stoic. That's 306 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:56.119 the way to live your life like a stoic. Become more spiritual, become 307 00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:00.039 more at one with nature. Take that power of the sun, take the 308 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:07.559 power of the oxygen that's in the air. Keep your body hydrated. If 309 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.720 you don't want to do it for your brain, do it for your looks. 310 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:15.279 You don't want to get wrinkles, Drink a lot of water. You 311 00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:21.640 want to be shriveled up like a raisin. Then you get dehydrated. Don't 312 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:26.720 drink your water. You want to be nice and smooth like a grape. 313 00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:32.599 Stay dehydrated. Drink lots of water, so lay water. So lay water 314 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:36.240 is when you put a pinch of pink Kimelayan salt, you don't want to 315 00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:40.960 just drink water and pee it out. Most of those plastic water bottles, 316 00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:51.920 poland springs, Desioni, all these plastic water bottles, not only are they 317 00:28:52.559 --> 00:29:03.000 acidic water, not only full of plastics that you're imbibing. Those plastics are 318 00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:08.359 estrogen disruptors, they're hormone disruptors. Those plastics are toxic, they cause inflammation. 319 00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:12.680 You want to stay away from all those plastic water bottles. Get a 320 00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:17.640 high duty water filter to filter out all that crap we said before, the 321 00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:22.359 lead, the aluminium, the fluoride, and then you put a pinch of 322 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.759 pink Kimelan salt. That's the solae water. When you put the salt in 323 00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:32.119 there, that creates there's electrolytes, but the solae water, the Pinkamelain salt's 324 00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:36.599 got more minerals than any other salt on the planet. It's got about eighty 325 00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:42.640 six minerals. Only they pink Cameline salt and the Celtic salt have that many 326 00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:48.720 minerals. It's like half the minerals ever discovered on the earth are in this 327 00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:53.599 one little salt. You just gatorade for electrolytes. You're getting potassium, sugar, 328 00:29:53.759 --> 00:30:00.599 food dye, and plastic chemicals. That's toxic. Don't drink gatorage, 329 00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:06.920 don't drink pedialyte. When you're dehydrated, you get filtered water. You can 330 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.920 use reverse osmosis get distilled. But put the pink kimelane salt to get your 331 00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.799 minerals in there, to get the electro like water. Because when you have 332 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.759 the minerals in now, the water's gonna get absorbed. You don't want to 333 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:22.920 just drink plastic water bottles and pee it out. You want to drink so 334 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.039 lay water so the water could get absorbed and your brain too. Do you 335 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:30.799 want your brain to shrivel up like a raisin or you want your brain icing 336 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:37.160 big, juicy and hydrated. You have to drink half your body weighting ounces, 337 00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:40.079 So you gotta got twenty minutes of sunlight in the middle of the day. 338 00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:45.519 You gotta drink half your bodyweighting ounces. You gotta get some oxygen. 339 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:49.119 Go out in the forest. Go out in the woods, go near some 340 00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:55.119 trees and do some breathing exercises where you inhale for four seconds, hold your 341 00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:59.119 breath for seven seconds, that exhale for eight seconds. When you exhale, 342 00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:02.960 you're getting rid of the carbon dioxide, which is toxic to us, but 343 00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.000 the trees love it. Then we give the trees the carbon dioxide and the 344 00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:12.400 trees give us the oxygen. One tree has enough oxygen for five people. 345 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.640 So just surround yourself with trees and it's like being an oxygen tank. And 346 00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:23.799 if you're in a city, go to Central Park. There's parks wherever you 347 00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:30.119 are in every boroughs in Staten Island and Queens and the Bronx and Brooklyn, 348 00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:37.400 there's parks everywhere all right, So go to the park. Do some earthing. 349 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:42.079 Go in the grass, put your feet in. There be a tree, 350 00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:47.880 hugger, hug some trees. Get that sun, get out of the 351 00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:52.759 shade. Breathe in that oxygen. Inhal for four seconds, hold it for 352 00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.839 seven, exhal for eight. When you in hare, push your diaphragm down 353 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.799 and out, making your belly look really big. When you exhale, everything 354 00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:05.759 comes in to push out that carbon dioxide. Make sure you have good posture. 355 00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:09.759 Keep that chin off and their shoulders back. If your slouch forward you're 356 00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:15.200 not gonna breathe good. You're not gonna get enough oxygen. You're doing breathing 357 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:22.119 exercises three times a day. Get some oxygen producing plants in your house or 358 00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:28.319 your apartment. The four most oxygen and purifying plants that you can put inside 359 00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:35.279 your house are snake plants, spider plants, alovera plants, money plants. 360 00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:42.279 Those give you the oxygen you need. That's your fuel delivery. You need 361 00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:46.519 that fuel. You need the oxygen, you need the water, you need 362 00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:51.920 the sunlight, and you need food. The way to get all your nutrients 363 00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:58.599 is to make sure you eat each color of the rainbow every day. Something 364 00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:06.279 that's red, orange, yellow, blue, green, purple, color, 365 00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:12.160 little rainbow. You gotta cover all the colors. Each of the different colors 366 00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:20.559 represents different nutrients. And stay away from all the white foods sugar, dairy, 367 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:31.079 bread, flower rice, potatoes, noodles, crackers, cereals, oat 368 00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:39.960 meal, yogurt. Those aren't healthy. Don't believe the lie that yogurt and 369 00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:47.119 oatmeal are a good healthy breakfast. There's no nutritional value. Stop it. 370 00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:54.720 I want colors in your breakfast. We need lots of colors. Stay away 371 00:33:54.759 --> 00:34:00.440 from the white foods. Stop having cereal in the morning. Stop stop having 372 00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:04.359 oatmeal in the morning. Stop having bread and toast in the morning, or 373 00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:10.480 bagels and cream cheese. It's all white. We need colors. That's your 374 00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:17.400 nutrients. And stop taking multi vitamins. You're not deficient in all those vitamins. 375 00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:27.519 Most of those vitamins are toxic. They're full of impurities and fillers and 376 00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:34.760 stuff that you don't need all these contaminants. You got to CBS and get 377 00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:39.119 some sential multi vitains. The worst decision you can make. Get educated. 378 00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:45.119 See a doctor who knows what they're talking about, which is not typically a 379 00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:51.760 medical doctor because they're not taught about nutrition in school. You need to get 380 00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:57.719 a functional doctor. What I do is practice functional neurology and functional medicine. 381 00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:02.000 That's the two best combination. If you're not in my area and you need 382 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:06.800 a referral for a doctor, just email me or call and we can get 383 00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:13.639 you a functional neurologist and a functional medicine practitioner. We're gonna look at the 384 00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:15.360 blood work, and we're gonna look at which levels are high, which levels 385 00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:20.639 are low. We're gonna look at your brain, how your gut's functioning, 386 00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:23.840 how your heart's functioning. You have inflammation, you got leaky gut, you 387 00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:29.280 got joint pain, you got autoimmune disease, you got allergies. We gotta 388 00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:31.400 figure out where the problem is. Not hide the symptoms, but get to 389 00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:36.320 the root cause of the problem. You get to the root cause of the 390 00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:38.760 problem, then you can come up with a solution. Most medicines are just 391 00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:45.239 trying to hide the symptoms. Right, So you take high blood pressure medication, 392 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:49.599 just trying to just hide the symptom. Let me lower your blood pressure 393 00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:52.599 to put you less at risks for a harder stroke. But are you actually 394 00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:58.039 fixing the high blood pressure. No, you're not. You're just covering up 395 00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:04.400 the symptoms. When I do as a functional neurologist and a functional medicine practitioner 396 00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:10.559 is figure out why do you have the high blood pressure? Are you have 397 00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:15.840 too much of a sedentary lifestyle. Do you have a poor diet? Do 398 00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:20.480 you have too much stress? You're got sleeping right? You got mold in 399 00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:23.920 your house? Do you have heavy metal exposure? Are you going through a 400 00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:30.480 painful loss? Are you putting inflammatory stuff in your body? Are you exposed 401 00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:36.320 to toxins? We get to the root cause of the high blood pressure. 402 00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.760 You have memory problems, we get to the root cause of the memory problems. 403 00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:44.920 You have parkinsons, We get to the root cause of your parkinsons. 404 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:47.400 You got a stroke, we get to the root cause of the stroke. 405 00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:53.519 Stop hiding symptoms with medication or herbs or supplements. If you can't sleep, 406 00:36:53.800 --> 00:37:00.760 don't take melatonin. You're just hiding the symptoms. Figure out why you're not 407 00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:05.840 sleeping. Are you eating too late? Do you have too much electronic exposure 408 00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:10.800 at night? Is your autonomic nervous system not working? We got to get 409 00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:15.639 to the why. Stick around at the end of the show and I'll explain 410 00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:20.199 how you can get to the why. But what you want to do is 411 00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:24.400 get to the root cause of the problem instead of hiding symptoms. So don't 412 00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:29.719 come to me if you just want some pill, some prescription. That's not 413 00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:34.440 the type of doctor I am. If you want a doctor that's gonna investigate 414 00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:37.079 and let's get to the root cause of your problem and teach you how to 415 00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:45.519 heal yourself through functional neurology, neuroplasticity, rewiring the brain, improving lifestyle and 416 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:51.079 habits.

The 433 00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:20.519 four best ways of fuel delivery are sunlight, oxygen, water, and nutrition. 434 00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:25.599 Now, don't forget that we need not only fuel delivery, but we 435 00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:31.199 need exercise and all types of exercise. You need to exercise your body, 436 00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:37.360 whether it's going to the gym, going for a hike, a bike ride, 437 00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:45.039 doing some power walking, going to the track, taking some pilates class, 438 00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:50.119 yoga class, do some taichi, a bar class, a spin class, 439 00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:57.039 take orange theory, CrossFit, go on some YouTube videos, do zoomba, 440 00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:00.880 take a dance class, pole dancing class, a belly dancing class, 441 00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:07.239 a line dancing class, a salsa class.

Get out and get your body move. 443 00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:19.199 And you gotta exercise, and you gotta exercise in ways that are fun 444 00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:22.400 so they're not an errand that you like doing it. And if you can 445 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.639 exercise with some friends or family where you can be social, even better, 446 00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:30.679 and if you can exercise outside. Now you're doing everything you need to do. 447 00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:37.639 So you gotta do physical exercise every single day for at least twenty minutes. 448 00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:40.719 All right, don't skip a day. You gotta do it seven days 449 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:45.559 a week. Three hundred and sixty five days a year. You gotta move 450 00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:49.559 your body. The worst thing for your body is sitting. Sitting is the 451 00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:53.760 new smoking, all right, So get off your butt because all day people 452 00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:58.719 are sitting, and your brain's gonna get worse. Your body's gonna get worse. 453 00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:04.800 You get more pain, worse eyes, worse memory, low energy, 454 00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:08.599 course sleep, more anxiety, more depression. Do you want that stuff? 455 00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:13.079 Well, if you don't, get off your butt, get out of the 456 00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:19.000 house, get outside, exercise and be social. Right, physical exercise, 457 00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:22.280 You also got to do mental exercise. You want to improve your brain, 458 00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:30.559 you gotta do memory exercises. Remember your friend's phone number, Remember people's names 459 00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:35.159 that you meet. You have to make an effort to do that. You 460 00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:38.960 gotta go into this person saying, I'm gonna remember their name and come up 461 00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:45.519 with some story that's gonna remind you of what this person's name is. Don't 462 00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:49.320 just try and remember the name. You gotta come up with a story or 463 00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:54.079 relate it to a song or a movie or something emotional. Your emotional memory 464 00:41:54.119 --> 00:42:00.559 is your best memory, so take advantage of that. When I give I'm 465 00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:05.159 always touring around the country doing keynote talks. If you want me to do 466 00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:09.679 a keynote talk for your group. We do a lot of associations, a 467 00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:15.920 lot of wellness stuff. We do it for lawyers and banks and financial institutions 468 00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:22.840 and big corporations. So I'm a keynote speaker. You can contact me. 469 00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:25.800 We'll give you that information at the end. But I do a lot of 470 00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:31.599 talks, and I want people to remember my seminars and my lectures and that 471 00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:37.360 way. I always relate it to an emotional experience. And a lot of 472 00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:40.199 my radio listeners will come back and they'll say, Hey, how's your grandma 473 00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:44.599 Dottie? You know, I had my Grandma Dotty too that I remember, 474 00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:47.679 And you know, how's you know growing up when you were thirteen and you 475 00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:51.760 had to get off all the medicine and you know. So I tell these 476 00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:57.960 stories so that people remember what I'm telling them, right, So I like 477 00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:00.679 to relay a lot of what my patients are experiencing so you remember it. 478 00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:07.360 There's an emotional connection to it, all right. So we got to purposely 479 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:13.039 remember a phone number, don't just put it in your phone book. Purposely 480 00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:16.360 remember people's names and impress them like I do. You remember my name? 481 00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:24.679 Purposely remember your grocery list. Purposely remember an address that you're going to. 482 00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:31.519 Don't just put it in the GPS. Start challenging yourself. Don't use AI 483 00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:39.760 and chat GPT to tell you everything. Use your brain. You gotta remember 484 00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:49.119 you know some famous singer that you loved growing up. Don't google it think 485 00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:52.599 about it. Use your brain. It's in there. You can find it. 486 00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:57.599 You gotta dig deep. It might take a little bit longer, but 487 00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:02.039 it'll be more satisfying and it gets your brain stronger. You use it or 488 00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:06.559 you lose it. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound to cure. 489 00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:12.679 So start working on your memory now before you get dementia in Alzheimer's. So 490 00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:17.559 you gotta do physical exercise. You gotta do memory exercise. You gotta do 491 00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:24.280 weightlifting exercise. If you have anxiety or depression, you have a walking pharmacy 492 00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:35.000 in your muscles that no drug could ever replicate. You have a rectile dysfunction. 493 00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:37.920 My god, I can't tell you how many of my patients have a 494 00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:45.559 rectile dysfunction, and we're helping them by starting with weightlifting. Then we do 495 00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:52.280 brain exercises for the bagus nerve. Then we improve circulation, get their thyroid 496 00:44:52.320 --> 00:45:00.719 working better, their hormones working better. It's a big problem, but we 497 00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:07.360 can reverse it, and it starts with physical exercise. Weight resistant exercise. 498 00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:10.480 The more weight resistance, then your testosterone goes, your hormones go, your 499 00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:16.320 cortisol goes. Exercise in the morning and do weight resistant exercise. You can 500 00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:20.320 use your own body. You know, push up and pull ups, and 501 00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:23.360 you know squats and lunges and stuff like that, planks, all that type 502 00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:27.960 of stuff. You could use resistant bands. You don't need to have a 503 00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:31.039 gym membership or all these fancy weights. No, you could use rocks and 504 00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:38.119 branches and other stuff. And you could use your bags plastic bags and suitcases 505 00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:45.159 and stuff to lift. But you gotta challenge yourself. Weight resistant exercise releases 506 00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:55.239 chemicals that boost your mood. So you gotta exercise your muscles and exercise your 507 00:45:55.280 --> 00:46:00.079 heart. The best way to do the heart is a hit workout, high 508 00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:06.280 intensity interval training. So imagine you're going around the track. You sprint the 509 00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:10.599 straightaway and then you walk the curve, and then sprint the straightaway and walk 510 00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:15.559 the curve. So you sprint walk, sprint, walk, sprint walk. 511 00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:20.800 Very good for your heart, very good for your circulations. Very good for 512 00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:29.079 a rectile dysfunction. High intensity interval training. You have to do physical exercise. 513 00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:37.119 You gotta do neurologic exercise, memory exercises. You gotta do balance exercise. 514 00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:39.519 Go in a corner where it's safe, and how long can I balance 515 00:46:39.559 --> 00:46:45.039 on one leg? Balance on a cushion, just walk in that tightrope like 516 00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:50.159 a balance beam, stand on a pillow, which makes it a little bit 517 00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:57.440 harder. You gotta do balance exercises, physical exercises, brain exercises, memory 518 00:46:57.519 --> 00:47:06.760 exercises, balance exercise, breathing exercises, posture exercises. All these exercises are 519 00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:09.239 important. Eye exercises. You want to prove your vision, you gotta do 520 00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:15.480 eye exercises. I'm doing a whole seminar on all these different exercises. It's 521 00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:22.800 the last Tuesday of the month and it's gonna be in River Edge, New 522 00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:29.320 Jersey, at six thirty pm. It's an hour six thirty seven thirty, 523 00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:32.760 But then I do a half hour question and answer after. It's the last 524 00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:37.800 Tuesday of June. If you can't make it in person in River Edge, 525 00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:42.760 New Jersey, you could do it over zoom. If you can't make it 526 00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:50.159 over zoom, you could get the recording right. So I'm doing two seminars, 527 00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:54.400 one in June and one in July. The one in June is for 528 00:47:54.639 --> 00:48:01.159 exercises and the one in July is the Boost your Brain pass our Bootcap. 529 00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:07.000 It's gonna be pretty intexts. Each seminars two hundred dollars, but we're gonna 530 00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:09.119 do a special for the first seven people to call, text or email. 531 00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:16.320 You could get both seminars for a total of only ninety seven dollars. You 532 00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:22.800 know, that's like forty eight dollars each. It's pretty amazing. It's only 533 00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:25.880 for the first seven people to call, text or email, and even if 534 00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:30.360 you come live, you'll get the recording too, so that you can have 535 00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:31.280 it for the rest of your life. You could share it with your friends 536 00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:37.679 and family. This is valuable information I'm gonna share with you, all right, 537 00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:38.639 So all you gotta do isl be one of the first seven people to 538 00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:45.000 call text or email six four six two two one six seven three eight, 539 00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:51.400 or you can email info at kaplanbraininbody dot com. Now, another gift we're 540 00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:57.639 gonna give you is a neurologic test called a q EEG brain mapping that will 541 00:48:57.639 --> 00:49:00.920 literally tell us do you have problems with short term memory, long term memory, 542 00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:05.039 anxiety, depression, heavy metal poisoning. Do you have low dopamine, 543 00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:08.199 low actyl coline? Do you have intestinal inflammation. Do you have a thyroid 544 00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:14.679 problem? If you had a concussion or chronic pathology infecting your brain. Do 545 00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:19.679 you have white matter inflammation? Are you have troubles with vision or hearing or 546 00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:23.920 balanced? Do you have troubles with muscle strength, motivation, organization planning. 547 00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:32.000 The qEEG brain mapping picks all of this up, sleep, deprivation, insomnia. 548 00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:37.119 It's amazing how much this stuff picks up. It's normally five hundred dollars, 549 00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:40.400 but for the first seven people to call, text or email, you 550 00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:46.960 could get the qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. Another test is 551 00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:52.480 called a VNG Video nostography, where you wear these infrared goggles and it tells 552 00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:59.559 you which areas of the brain are overactive bringing anxiety, insomnia, heart palpitations, 553 00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:07.599 mind's racing, adhd WAR tells you which your areas are underactive low energy, 554 00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:15.000 low motivation band memory, depression. The VNG is great for that test, 555 00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:19.119 and that's another gift we're gonna give you for the first seven people to 556 00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:22.239 call, text or email. You could get that test, which is normally 557 00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:28.760 five hundred dollars, for only twenty one dollars as well, And the last 558 00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:31.079 test is a one on one with me and one on one with me. 559 00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:36.000 We go over your history, your family history, what drugs you're taking, 560 00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:40.000 what medications you're taking, your blood work, your VNG, your qEEG, 561 00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:44.760 brain mapping. We check out your memory, your heart, your lungs, 562 00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:49.239 your gut, see if you have inflammation, see how your muscle strength is, 563 00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:52.960 your range of motion, your balance. Takes about forty five minutes. 564 00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:57.360 It's normally five hundred dollars. You can also get that for only twenty one 565 00:50:57.400 --> 00:51:00.320 dollars. So instead of paying five hundred dollars for the brain mapping, five 566 00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:06.760 hundred dollars for the qEEG, five hundred dollars for the VNG, five hundred 567 00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:09.199 dollars for the one on one with me, you could literally just pay twenty 568 00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:13.480 one dollars for each test. So if you do all three tests, it 569 00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:16.559 literally only costs you sixty three dollars. And the reason I'm doing this at 570 00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:22.840 such a reasonable price, it's so there's no barrier for entry, so it's 571 00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:29.840 just a get acquainted visit.
