The following is a paid podcast. iHeartRadio's hosting of this podcast constitutes neither an

boost your brain Power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. A lot
of people ask me what can they do at home if they have a problem
and they won't want to go to the doctor, they don't want to take
medicine. Well, that's what we do here at Kaplan Brain Embody. We
try and teach you things you could do at home to prevent future problems and
also help current problems without the use of harmful medications, drugs, risky surgeries.
We want to do it in a natural, holistic, and integrative way.
For example, what's the best thing to do if you have depression,
Well, the best thing to do is increase vitamin D levels. And you
get vitamin D from the sun. So you gotta get outside into the sun.
Go during sunrise, go during sun set. Go out during the middle
of the day from twelve to two where the sun is strongest and take off
your hat, take off your glasses, roll up your sleeves. Get exposure
to the sun. That will increase vitamin D and decrease depression. If you're
unable to go outside, you can also supplement with vitamin D, especially in
the winter. Now it's almost falls approaching, the winter is going to be
coming. People get what's called seasonal affect disorder said, Seasonal affect disorder SAD
because during the winter there's less sunlight and they get depressed. So the key
to depression is sunlight. And if you can combine it with exercise, meaning
go outside exercise, and if you can even combine it with social exercise,
maybe playing basketball or soccer or tennis with your friends, doing a yoga class,
taking a dance class outside, playing some volleyball, pickle ball, everyone's
playing. Now, do something social outside in the sun, and that is
a natural way to decrease depression. It's always about vitamin D. So much
research has showed vitamin D is just as effective, if not more effective,
than current antidepressant medications that are prescribed by psychiatrists every single day. And the
past few years, depression has increased. It's increased because of isolation due to
COVID, lack of exercise, lack of sunlight. Everyone's sold to stay in,
stay away from the virus, stay inside, don't go out. Well,
guess what. You decrease vitamin D and you increase depression, you increase
suicides, you increase alcohol and drug abuse. If we want to get rid
of depression, you gotta go outside. You gotta get in the sun,
you gotta exercise, you gotta be social. That's natural ways to decrease depression.
You could do it on your own. You just have to commit,
you have to put the work in. All right. I'm not the doctor
that prescribes antidepressants. We try to get to the root cause of the problem.
Don't treat symptoms with medications because sometimes those antidepressants can have harmful side effects.
Sometimes the side effects are depressed. Sometimes the side effects are suicidal thoughts.
Sometimes the side effects are violent tendencies. A lot of these school shootings
they're on medication. They're on these psychotropic drugs, are on antidepressants, anti
anxiety pills, ADD pills ADHD. They're on these pills that make them think
differently and they become violent. And there's lots of antidepressants that cause suicides.
You've got to be careful right now. We got to figure out what's appropriate
for you. But I can tell you this It can only help if you
get some sunlight, if you get some exercise, and see if you'd be
more social. It can only help get rid of depression. And that's what
we want to do. We want to get to the root cause of it,
not treat it with pills, but boost your own brain power. Now,
what if you have anxiety. Anxiety is the opposite of depression, right,
So depression is low energy. You don't want to leave the house,
you don't want to speak to anyone, you don't want to shower, you
don't want to shave, you don't want to brush your teeth, you don't
want to answer your phone, you don't want to leave the house, low
motivation, low energy. That's depression. Anxiety, Oh, that's worry.
Might have trouble sleeping. You might have some anger, You might have some
aggression. You might get some panic. You might have difficulty with focus because
your brain is going a million miles per hour. You might have difficult with
sleep because your brain doesn't shut off. That's anxiety. Something anxiety. Eight.
We gotta calm down the nervous system. We gotta relax the nervous system.
One way to relax the nervous system is through activation of your vagus nerve.
We could do that through gargling. Gargling really intensely stimulates the vagus nerve.
Might want to splash your face with cold water. You're overheated. We
gotta cool you down. Splash your face with cold water for thirty seconds,
three times a day. Gargle for thirty seconds three times a day. That
will help with anxiety. We got to relax the nervous system. Do some
breathing exercises. Inhale for four seconds, hold it for seven seconds, and
exhale for eight seconds. The longer you exhale, the more your brain relaxes.
The inhale increases your heart rate. The exhale deep creases your heart rate.
So you want to relax more. You want to exhale more. Inhale
for four seconds, hold it for seven seconds, exhale for eight seconds.
When you inhale, push your belly down and out like you're a pregnant woman.
Push that diaphragm down so you can increase your oxygen levels. On the
exhale, everything comes in. Push out the carbon dioxide. Give it to
all the plants and the leaves and the trees and the bushes and the shrubs.
When I do my breathing exercises every morning outside in the sun, as
it rises, I exhale. I'm imagining giving all the energy, all the
fuel delivery to the trees that surround me, to my grass, to my
plants, to my bushes, to my vegetables, to everything around me.
Not only are you getting rid of your carbon dioxide to increase the function of
your brain, but you're giving that carbon dioxide to the plants and the vegetables
and the fruits that need it to grow and thrive. It's a symbiotic relationship.
The plants and the trees give us oxygen and we give them carbon dioxide.
That is a great way to reduce anxiety. Right now, what if
you have a problem with Parkinson's disease. With Parkinson's disease, the way to
prevent falls, which is the biggest problem with Parkinson's ease, are false.
So we're gonna do fall prevention our little gate and balance exercise. Now,
people who have Parkinson's have a decreased arm swing, usually on one side,
but it could be on both. That's one of the early signs of Parkinson's
disease. So when I'm analyzing brains. I look at their arms swing,
and if their arm doesn't swing properly, they might be more prone to Parkinson's.
If they have poor sense of smell, they might be prone to Parkinson's.
If they have shoulder pain, they might be prone to Parkinson's. If
they have constipation, they might be prone to Parkinson's. If they have loss
of facial expression or what it's called facial masking, they might have more likelihood
to develop Parkinson's. Now, if we put this all together, where they
have what's called a camp to cormia where they're hunched forward, they have some
facial masking, shoulder pain, loss of smell, lack of arms swing,
constipation, they were to walker as a kid, they're more likely to get
Parkinson's before a tremor even starts. Now, if this is the case,
we have to fix the brain early on. One of the best exercises that's
super easy. It's called the exaggerated arm walk, where you just pick a
hallway and you walk down the hallway and do big exaggerated arm walks where your
arm is just going up to the ceiling and swinging big time up and down
and just exaggerated arm swings as you walk. Then another good exercise is the
crosscrawl exercise. That's where you're tapping your opposite legs or like marching in place,
but you tap your right hand to your left leg and your left hand
to your right leg. Those would be the two best exercise for Parkinson's or
pre Parkinsonian conditions. There, the exaggerated arm walk and the crosscrawl exercise.
That's the two things I would start doing immediately. Now, what if you
have MS multiple sclerosis. That's an autoimmune disease that attacks the brain. If
you have an autoimmune disease that attacks the brain, then you have to fix
the brain. Plus autoimmune disease autoimmune disease. Then there's lots of autoimmune disease,
silliac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, show grins, lupus, fibromyalgia.
These are all autoimmune diseases, IBS, Hashimoto's Graves disease. There's lots
of autoimmune diseases and they all need to be fixed internally through avoiding the autoimmune
foods, which are number one dairy, number two gluten, number three soy,
number four corn, number five coffee, and number six alcohol. Those
are the top six autoimmune diseases that you would need to avoid and eliminate to
reverse autoimmune disease, not just MS, but all the other autoimmune diseases as
well. With MS, that's an autoimmune disease that attacks the milin sheath of
the nerves, which is covered in fat. So not only do you want
to avoid the foods that attack the milin sheath, but you also want to
increase fat, healthy fat such as olives, walnuts, coconut oil, fish,
healthy fat, flax seeds, healthy fat, avocado. All right,
that's the best thing for MS multiple sclerosis. Plus you would have to do
functional neurology to rehab the brain through pusless called neurop elasticity. We do those
at both of our offices. We have one office in Emerson, New Jersey,
and one office in New York City in the West Village. We will
continue this conversation when we come back from the break. This is boost your
brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. If you want to
improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion,
energy depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches, brain fog,
weight loss, or simply want to maximize your human potential and prevent future
diseases that this is the show for you. Don't miss Boost your brain Power
with Doctor Eric Kaplan and you will learn natural, integrative, and holistic approaches
to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism, add
concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, for posture,
pain, TBI, skin and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan is most famous
for getting to the cause of a wide variety of brain and health conditions,
rather than treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To contact to doctor
Kaplan, you can call his team at two O one two six one two

to boost your brain Power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. We're
going over natural ways to help with certain neurological disorders such as depression, anxiety,
parkins sins, multiple sclerosis. The next condition we're going to discuss is
autism. Autism used to occur in one out of every ten thousand people,
then it became one out of every five thousand. This is all in my
lifetime and I'm only forty five years old. Then it became one out of
a thousand, then it became one out of five hundred. Now it's at
the point where it's basically one out of every twenty six boys is diagnosed with
autism. That's basically one kid per classroom. Almost every classroom has an autistic
child in there. It is an epidemic. It is increasing, and we
have to come up ways to stop it. Now there's many different theories of
why autism numbers are increasing. Some people think it's because of the diagnostics that
have changed, meaning the you know, way they diagnose has become a lot
easier. They're just getting more and more people diagnosed with autism. But now
it's pretty obvious that there are developmental delays that occurring in the current child population
that was not occurring previously. Their brains are not developing properly. There's lots
of developmental delays. And it's not just autism. It's aspergers, it's dyslexia,
it is add it's ADHD, it's tourettes. These are all childhood developmental
delays. They're just different types of labels. But what's happening is the brain
isn't developing properly. So with autism and these other developmental delays, you'll get
retained primitive reflexes. Primitive reflexes are reflexes that are supposed to be eliminating after
one year of age. Now, when you go to the doctor and they
tap your knee and your knee kicks out, that's called a patellar reflex that
is supposed to happen. That is a normal finding in a physical evaluation.
However, with autism and other developmental delays, they'll be certain reflexes they're called
primitive reflexes that are still testing positive when they should not test positive after the
brain has developed one year of age or older. For example, there is
a primitive reflex that when you rub the bottom of the foot, the big
toe goes up. That's called a Babinski reflex. That's called a Babinsky reflex.
After one year of age, the Babinski reflex should no longer respond to
a stimulation rubbing the bottom of the foot. However, with certain neurologic conditions
such as autism or even Parkinson's like we spoke about before, the big toe
will go up. That's called a positive Babinski sign. We do not want
to see that in a four year old child. We don't want to see
what's called a spinal gallant reflex, which is where we rub the back and
you get it like a little twitch. We see that positive over one year
of age, when children are still wetting their bed many times because their brains
not fully developed. So if you're worried about a child with autism or add
or ADHD or Turette's or dyslexia, we have to check the primitive reflexes.
That's super important. If you wait till the end of the show, I'm
going to give you guys a special where you can get these primitive reflexes checked,
except to wait till the end and we'll go over that. So with
autism and other developmental delays, there's remediation exercises you could do to eliminate these
primitive reflexes, but we got to check which primitive reflexes are there. For
example, if you test positive for that spinal galant primitive reflex, you can
do a remediation exercise what we call the snow angel exercise, sort of like
snow angels, but you're on the ground on the carpet, legs are opening,
the arms are going in sync thirty seconds, three times a day,
over and over and over again, and eventually we can eliminate the spinal galant
primitive reflex. Now the brain can catch up the development. Now we can
work on certain motor and sensory aspects and autism. That's the second phase when
working naturally with autism. The first phase is eliminating the primitive reflexes, the
second phase is activating motor and sensory pathways. And the third phase, which
can't be done until the first two are done, is behavioral is speech,
is physical, is developmental. But what most people do with autism is phase
three first where they have interventions at school for speech pathology, occupational therapy,
physical therapy. But if you're doing phase three before phase one and two are
done, it won't work. That's why you have to do phase one phase
two first with autism. Then you could do speech pathology, then you could
do occupational therapy, and then you could do physical therapy behavioral modification. But
you have to do phase one primitive reflexes first, and then phase two,
which is the motor and sensory development of the brain. Those are the natural
ways to help with autism. Now make sure if you are ready have a
childhood autism, to get rid of all the chemicals. The chemicals are the
worst thing. Food dies, preservatives, all those autoimmune foods. We spoke
about anything in packages and boxes and cereals and cans and bags. We have
to stay away from all that processed food, all the chemicals, all the
pesticides, the herbicides, the cleaning stuff, the lotions. You gotta be
careful with the shampoos and the toothpaste, and the pots and the pans and
the plastics. We got to get rid of toxic chemicals. If you want
to help fix the brain, if you want to help develop the brain,
if you want to help with neuroplasticity and autism, there are natural ways to
improve the brain. But you've got to do the work right. The brain
can heal through neuroplasts, it can rewire, but we have to strengthen it
through neurologic exercises. That is for autism. Now, what if you have
headaches. We see a lot of people with headaches. There's different types of
headaches. There's migraine headaches, there's cluster headaches, there's tension headaches. There's
stress headaches, there's sinus headaches, there's tension headaches. There's a lot of
different types of headaches. Now, if you have a tension headache, that's
usually a headache which is like a band around the head, that's usually due
to stress mode. Might have increased blood pressure, so you might have to
relax your nervous system, might have to reduce your stress. Then you've got
a tension headache. That's when the muscles of the back and the neck are
pulling on the head. You might need to do some physical therapy. You
might need to do some manipulation of the bones. You might need to work
on your posture and decrease your electronic exposure and improve your computer screen where it
is and how you read and how you text. That's a cervicogenicer a stress
headache. Then you might have a migraine headache. That's usually a sharp pain
behind the eye. Might get some light sensitivity, some nausea. We have
this cool technique. There's only about fifty people in the whole world that do
this insulfation technique where I pump air into the ear. People come up with
a migraine ten out of ten and we literally get rid of the migraine on
the spot ten out of ten and in one minute by pumping air into the
ear, we get rid of it. Now, it doesn't prevent headaches,
doesn't prevent them, but what it does do instead of preventing them, it
treats them in the moment. To prevent the migraine, we got to get
a root cause. But you're not getting blood and oxygen. Anytime you have
a headache, you're not getting the blood flow and oxygen, so we got
to do an evaluation to figure out where that's coming from. As well,
you might get a sinus headache, so we have this little instrument that we
tap on this four sinus points above your eyes next to your nose, and
that gets rid of the sinus headaches. Then we might have to do this
sinus massage. You might have to do some homeopathic allergy remedies. But the
good news is there's always natural ways to improve your brain function. There's always
ways to heal. But if you want to do it the natural way,
then you got to put in the work. You might have to increase your
water intake. You're supposed to drink half your body weight anounces, and you
want to mineralize it with pink Himalayan salt, so that's the best way to
drink water. And you want to drink on an empty stomach. That's another
good way to prevent headaches. We're going to continue this conversation we come back
how to improve brain function in a natural, holistic way. This is doctor
Eric Kaplan. You're listening to boost your brain power more when we come back

Welcome back to boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan.
So we just talked about autism and developmental delays. Now it also happens
a lot as people are growing up our concussion. So we see a lot
of kids, they fall down, they hit their head. We see a
lot of sports injuries. Then we see a lot of car accidents and then
slips and falls, all different types of concussion. And the problem with concussion
is that everyone's given the wrong advice. People are told to rest, to
sit in a dark room and let the brain heal. Well, that is
in correct. Think about it like a muscle. If your muscle was damaged,
you can't just do nothing and let it atrophy. You have to exercise
it to strengthen and rebuild the muscles. When you have a concussion, we
don't want to rest it. We want to strengthen the brain and figure out
what areas are damaged and make them stronger, because you're only as strong as
your weakest link. However, you can't overdo it. So some people also
overdo it with concussion. They go to these brain trauma centers and they're doing
too much exercise and they overstimulate their brain. That's called exceeding your metabolic capacity.
If you exceed your metabolic capacity, then the brain gets too stressed out.
So with concussion it's an art. You can't do too little, you
can't rest too much, and you can't do too much. You can't overdo
it. What we have to do is do a thorough evaluation to figure out
how severe and bad the concussion is. The best test is called a q
EG brain mapping. A q EEG brain mapping will literally tell us heck,
do you have memory problems? Is it long term? Is it short term
memory? Is its sequential memory? Is it immediate memory? Is it working
memory? Then it tells us do you have troubles with focus? Do you
have troubles with motivation, organization planning? Do you have anger? Do you
have aggression? Do you have insomnilia? Do you have sleep deprivation? Do
you have trouble with your thyroid? Do you have intestinal inflammation? Do you
have low dopamine? Do you have low mitochondria? Do you have poor blood
flow in circulation into the brain. Is there intestinal inflammation? Is there a
concussi is their heavy metal poisoning is their pathologies. There's a lot of different
ways we could break down the brain and analyze it through this qEEG brain mapping.
The q EEG brain mapping is normally five hundred dollars, but for the
first seven people that call, you can receive the entire qEEG brain mapping for
only twenty one dollars. All you have to do is be one of the
first seven people that call or email. The number to call or email is
six four six two two one six seven three eight and the email is info
at Kaplan brain embody dot com. Just tell them you want to be one
of the first seven people to do the q EEG brain mapping for only twenty
one dollars, and that you listen to me on the radio shop now.
Even if you haven't had a concussion, this test is great. This test
is great if you have lyme disease and you're getting brain fog, it'll pick
that up. This test is great. If you're worried about Alzheimer's or dementia,
It'll pick it up early on so you know how to intervene. It'll
pick it up. If you have sensory problems ringing in the ears. Tonight
as visual problems, your visions getting worse, your balance is bad. All
this can be discovered in a q EEG brain mapping. It's non invasive,
there's no radiation. So do yourself a favor, give us a call or
a text or email and be one of those first seven people. And what
I'll do is I'll review it with you and give you natural, holistic ways
to improve your brain function without any medication, without any surgeries, without any
injections. So we're very natural and holistic type of practice. Now, the
other test that's really important for brain function is called a V video nistography.
This has infrared cameras that you wear these goggles and it measures your eye movements
and it could tell us you have areas are underactive versus overactive. Very good
for people with bipolar and schizophrenia, a lot of these neurologic conditions panic disorders.
It could tell us which side is overactive, which areas are underactive.
Because sometimes we have to do exercises to stimulate the weak areas of the brain,
but then we also have to do exercises to calm down the overactive area
of the brain. That's why the V is the best test for that it
tells us any differences of the left and right brain in balances. They're called
a functional disconnect syndrome. People a brain fog, or they just don't feel
like their brains functioning high level. They can't focus, they can't concentrate.
This is the test for you, the VNNG video instography. There's no radiation,
you don't have to sit in some tube, you don't have to take
any contrast fluid. There's no risk. It's literally just cameras that measure eye
movements but correlate to different lobes of your brain. This is a very important
test to tell the difference between the left and the right brain. This test
takes about twenty to twenty five minutes. It's normally five hundred dollars, but
for the first seven people that call, text or email, you can get
the VG for only twenty one dollars. And if you want to do both
tests, you want to do the QEG for twenty one and you want to
do the VMG for twenty one, you could sign up for both tests right.
All you have to do is call or text or email. The phone
number is six four six two two one, six seven three eight, or
you can email info at Kaplan, Brain and body dot com. The key
is prevention. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Don't
wait till you get Alzheimer's. Don't wait till you get dementia. Don't wait
till you get Parkinson's or a stroke or MS. Don't wait till you get
als. Most people are severely sick in America. You don't want to do
what everyone else does, so you've got to do it differently. Don't do
what everyone else does. Where you have you know, coffee and toast with
butter in the morning, and you know, a sandwich for lunch, and
then a big dinner at night, and you work all day and you watch
TV at night, and you go to the movies, and you go to
the bar, and you go eat at restaurants, and don't do what everyone
else does. You have to think out side the box. If you want
to be healthy, you have to do the work. The doctors aren't going
to make you healthy. The government isn't going to make you healthy. Having
health insurance does not make you healthy. So all these people think that just
getting health insurance is going to make you healthy. If anything, that's the
opposite. Because then you think you're taken care of. It's almost better not
to have health insurance. Therefore, you know you have to be healthy because
you can't afford to see doctors. You can't afford to do surgeries. So
you are forced to be healthy. You're forced to eat healthy. You're forced
to exercise, to do the right things, to get your sunlight, to
drink the water, to reduce your emotional stress, to go to bed early.
You've got to do the right things. If you do the right things,
you won't need doctors. You won't need hospital visits, you won't need
evaluations, you won't need medications and surgeries. The power that made the body
heals the body. We just have to figure out where your weaknesses are.
That's where I come in. That's where Caplin, brain and body come in.
We do these neurologic evaluations. Figure out where your weakness is. Then
you could take care of it early on, before it becomes a problem.
You might have to alter your diet, you might have to increase your water,
you might have to exercise. You might have to wake up a little
bit earlier. You might have to go to bed a little bit earlier.
You might have to get a little bit of sunlight. But through a certain
evaluations, through blood work, through balanced test memory tests, we could figure
out where your problems are as your inflammation up. Maybe you just got to
reduce your inflammation. Maybe it's easy as getting rid of sugar and supplementing with
resveratrol which is from Japanese not weed, which is not only anti inflammatory,
but it's also anti aging. There's lots of stuff that's anti aging. Rosemary
that will help you grow hair on your head. You could actually take that
so literally. We have people that are seven years old bald, start taking
rosemary and all of a sudden, their hair starts growing back. And you
have gray hair. Sometimes you have a copper deficiency, so we start putting
people on copper and that helps with gray hair. With your nails, sometimes
it's a zinc deficiency. You can improve. You could regrow hair, you
could get rid of gray hair, You can improve your nails, your skin,
you can get rid of wrinkles. You could improve your vision. Don't
let these doctors tell you your eyes get worse as you get age. Start
doing these things called Brock string exercise b R O c K. You can
improve your near vision and you can improve your far vision, you could get
less aches and pains. You have to improve your posture, prove your muscles,
your core stability. All these rumors that people tell you that you just
things get worse as you get older, those are all lies. You can
get healthier as you get older. You just have to put in the work.
You have to put in the work you use it or you'll lose it.
But my job at Kaplan Brain and Body, my job on this Boost
your Brain Power show, My job and my Boost your Brain Power newspaper health
column and the past Scat Press and the Northern Valley Press in northern New Jersey.
My job is to teach you how to heal yourself because if you function
better, you feel better and you live a better life. More when we
come back from the break, if you want to improve your brain function,
help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety,
dizziness, balanced vision, headaches, brain FuG weight loss, or simply
want to maximize your human potential and prevent future diseases, that this is the
show for you. Don't miss Boost your Brain Power with doctor Eric Kaplan and
you will learn natural, integrative and holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such
as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism, add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia,
fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, for posture pain, TBI, skin and
digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan is most famous for getting to the root cause of
a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional
medicines and risky surgeries. To contact doctor Kaplan, you can call his team
at two O one two six one two five zero or visit his website at
kaplan dc dot com. Welcome back to who'st Your brain Power? I'm your
host, doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about natural, holistic and integrative ways
to boost your brain power without any drugs or surgery. Patients come to me
when they don't want to be over medicated. They don't want to do more
surgeries, they don't want to do more doctors visits. They want their own
body to heal on its own. Where we come in at Kaplan Brain and
Body is discovering where the problems are. Sometimes the problem is what's called a
leaky gut. When people have a leaky gut, not only could they have
IBS ulcerative colitis, dash stritus, nausea, vomiting, constipation, ciliac disease.
So when they have leaky gut, it might be a variety of reasons.
Now, the variety of reasons may be inflammation due to physical stresses,
which is food, chemicals, preservatives, food does It can also be emotional
stress. You know, oh that person made me sick to my stomach.
Oh I could feel at all. I'm getting nauseous even thinking about it.
So emotional stress can cause gut inflammation. Chemical stress right, heavy metal exposure,
mold exposure, even electromagnetic radiation can cause inflammation. So don't hold your
phone with the Wi Fi on and the five G on in your front pocket,
right next to your ovaries, right next to your testicles, right next
to your intestines, right next to your bladder. Don't put it in the
back pocket next to your prostate or your colon. The electromagnetic radiation caused by
cell phones, computers, and iPads has not been researched enough to tell us
that it's safe. I, for one, do not believe it's safe.
I don't believe bluetooth is safe either, So don't use all those AirPods.
Use wireless or not wireless, but use wire headphones and keep the phone at
least six inches away from you. Don't talk on the phone, and don't
talk with the bluetooth headphones. Keep the phone at least six inches away and
connected through wire headphones or speaker phone. Reduce electromagnetic radiation in the city.
It's almost unavoidable. It's like a walking microwave. So the best thing to
do. Get a lot of plans for your apartment, hang outside in the
trees, be outside in nature. Leave the city. City is a stressful
place, so if you want to avoid electromagnetic radiation frequencies inflammation, sometimes you
gotta leave the city, all right. Very important. If you have a
leaky gut, you either have physical stress is causing inflammation, emotional stress is
causing inflammation, or biochemical or radiation stresses causing inflammation. Now, when you
have a leaky gut, which is where the stomach gets inflamed, you could
get viruses, bacteria, parasites, worms, mold, yeast exit out of
your intestinal tract, enter the blood stream, and now the blood can transport
it anywhere, including your own brain. If it closses the blood brain barrier,
So what we have to do is reduce the inflammation. One of the
best ways to reduce inflammation is resveratrol that's found in Japanese notweed and the skin
of red grapes. Another good product is tumoric from kirk Human all right.
That is highly concentrated anti inflammatories without any side effects like steroids or end seats.
Those are the two best natural anti inflammatories. Camamel tea is very good
for anti inflammatory. Garlic ginger. I put garlic and ginger in all your
food. That reduces inflammation. A Mega three's reduce inflammation. Almost all disease
has inflammation. Right, If you want to reduce heart attack and stroke,
you've got to reduce inflammation. The old way of thinking is, oh,
my cholesterol is high, my ardias are gonna get clogged. That's going to
cause a stroke and a heart attack. That's the old way of thinking.
You can actually a very high cholesterol and not be at risk for heart attack
or stroke, especially if your ratio is good, especially if your CRP is
low, especially if your ESR is low, your diabetes numbers are low,
your triglycerides are low. So if everything is in good shape, you can
avoid having a heart attack. Is drug by reducing inflammation, So it's not
just doing a lipid panel to see what my cholesterol is. A lot of
doctors say, oh, if you're above two hundred for your total cholesterol,
now you've got to be put on statin drugs. And guess what's statin drugs?
Cause they actually cause a lot of joint pain. If you have these
random joint pains, it might be a side effect of your stating drugs.
Don't let the doctors just say, oh, it's old age. That's not
true. It could be a side effect of your anti cholesterol stating drugs that
you're taking. Another thing that's stating drugs cause is memory problems. It could
lead to dementia and Alzheimer's. Ultimately, I do not want memory problems.
I do not want Alzheimer's. I do not want dementia. So one of
the things I'm going to make sure I do is keep my cholesterol in order
so I don't have to take statins and I don't have a side effect of
the statin drugs being dementia. Sometimes the cure is worse than the condition.
You always when making a medic field decision measure the risk versus the reward.
How risky is this procedure and what's the reward? In my offices and caplimbrain
and body, we like to do the least risky procedures and therapies and treatments
with the highest reward. And the reason you'll know that is because my malpractice
insurance is very low. If you want to know if a doctor's procedures are
risky, you essen their malpractice insurance. The higher the malpractice insurance, the
riskier it is to see the doctor. My malpractice insurance is super low.
Most doctors pay in one month, but I'll pay in a whole year.
Because nothing we do is risky. That's the key. You don't want the
cure to be worse than the condition, so you want to do least risky,
highest outcome results there, okay, And the way we do that is
by doing a thorough evaluation. What I do in my office is a forty
five minute evaluation. I go over your whole history, your family history,
your health goals. We go over your blood work. We check out your
oxygen, your pulse, right, your blood pressure, listen to your lungs,
your gut, We do range of motion. We check out your memory,
your balance, your eyes, your ears, your inflammation, your muscles,
your nerves, your tendons, your ligaments, your reflexes, your coordination,
your proprioception, your focus. It takes about forty five minutes. It's
a one on one evaluation with me. It's normally five hundred dollars, but
we're giving to give giving you a gift. To everyone that's listened to my
show today, I told you there was going to be a gift. At
the end. You can get the entire forty five minute evaluation, diagnosis,
and treatment recommendations with me one on one doctor Kaplan. It's normally five hundred
dollars, but for the first seven people that call text or email, you
can get the entire neurological and physical with blood work review evaluation for only twenty
one dollars. You just got to be one of the first seven people that
call text or email. The number is six four six two two one six
seven three eight, or you can email info at Kaplan Brain embody dot com.
If you want, you could sign up for all three evaluations. You
could do the q EEG brain mapping, which is where you wear the cap
and it measures all your brain waves, which is normally only five hundred dollars.
You could do that for twenty one dollars. In addition, the same
day, you could do the V ANDNG tests. That's the test with the
infrared goggles that measures which areas are overactive, which areas are underactive, which
lobes of the brain aren't working, how are the right and left brains working
together? That is normally five hundred dollars. You can also get that for
twenty one dollars. And if you want, you can also get the one
on one with me forty five minute evaluation for only twenty one dollars. You
can sign up for all three the same day. You'll be there for a
few hours, but you'll get so much information, valuable information that you can
improve your health and well being without any drugs, without any surgery, in
a natural, holistic, integrative way, by getting to the root cause of
the problem. Rather than treating symptoms. Most medical professionals are just treating symptoms
with medication. Do not call me, do not email me, do not
sign up for these evaluations if you just want medication. I am not a
doctor that prescribes medication. I am not a doctor that does surgeries. People
come to me when they want a more natural way, but based on neuroscience
and a holistic, integrative way where we look how everything works together rather than
individual pieces, because that's how the body functions and feels best. All right,
