Hello and welcome to Boost 3 00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:18.079 your brain Power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about 4 00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:23.679 the seven day Boost your brain Power Challenge. So a lot of people took 5 00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:28.600 this on. It consists of seven days, and you could start this today 6 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:35.560 if you want. Day number one was drinking half your body weight of water 7 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.320 in ounces. So if you weigh one hundred and sixty pounds, you gotta 8 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:45.119 drink eighty ounces of water every single day. I recommend the sol A water, 9 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.520 which is putting a pinch of pink and ley in salt at the same 10 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:54.880 time, making sure you drink this water on an empty stomach right when you 11 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.560 wake up in the morning, and a half hour for each meal that is 12 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.840 called so lay water. Best to drink on an empty stomach and drink half 13 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.159 your body weight in ounces of this soul Lai water every single day. That's 14 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.760 day one of the challenge. Day two is to eat each color of the 15 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:17.200 rainbow. So on day two, you not only have to drink half your 16 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.400 body weight in ounces of water, every day. But now you have to 17 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.799 add eating each color of the rainbow. It doesn't have to be a lot 18 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:29.040 of food, but make sure you eat each color of the rainbow starting on 19 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:34.760 day number two. Day number three is the diaframatic breathing, where you do 20 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:41.719 three sets of inhaling for four seconds, holding it for seven seconds, and 21 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.439 exhaling for eight seconds. When you inhale, push your belly down and out, 22 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:51.599 and when you exhale, it sucks in and squeezes the carbon diox side 23 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:56.239 out. So on day three, you're drinking half your bodyweight ounces, you're 24 00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.640 eating each color of the rainbow. Then you're adding the oxygen, which is 25 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.439 the four seven eight breathe. Day four you got to do physical exercise. 26 00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:15.879 Twenty minutes of a physical exercise, and it could be just walking, running, 27 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.199 jogging, biking, hiking, dancing, going to the gym, playing 28 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.919 basketball, playing soccer, playing volleyball. Just has to get your body moved 29 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:31.039 for twenty minutes every single day. So on day four, not only doing 30 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:35.080 your exercise every day, you're drinking the water, eating each color of the 31 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.479 rainbow, and doing your breathing exercise. Day five, you're gonna add novelty 32 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:49.439 something new, something that you've never done before. The brain loves new things, 33 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.719 So maybe just learn a new word, go to a new place and 34 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.360 meet a new person. The brain loves new things. Try different things. 35 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:06.400 Try brushing your teeth lefty instead of with your dominant hand, to start to 36 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.400 take a dance lesson and learn something you've never learned. Or join a book 37 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:14.919 club and read book you never read, or you know, join a sewing 38 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.919 club, or take up gardening, or you know, start learning how to 39 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:25.240 build things, and you know, just do something new every single day. 40 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.360 Then you have to do intermittent fasting. That's the next challenge. Intermittent fasting 41 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:38.879 is when you drink or when you eat only from ten am to six pm 42 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.560 and you sleep from ten pm to six am, so you're eating for eight 43 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.840 hours and you're fasting for sixteen. And then the day seven challenge is the 44 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:53.319 twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, you get up for twenty seconds, walk 45 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:59.639 twenty feet, look twenty feet, or do twenty jumping jacks, twenty squats, 46 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:05.680 twenty sit ups, twenty lunges. Just twenty seconds of a movement every 47 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:11.639 twenty minutes. That's day seven. So on day seven you're doing everything you're 48 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.919 drinking the water, you're eating all the colors in the rainbow. You're doing 49 00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:21.160 your breathing, you're doing your novelty, your new brain exercise, you're doing 50 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:31.360 your intermittent festing. So you're adding on the last day, you know, 51 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.560 to sum it all up, you know, including exercise, so you're doing 52 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:43.160 the exercise for twenty minutes. This doesn't count as your twenty minute rule. 53 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.560 The twenty minute rule is if you're sitting for more than twenty minutes, So 54 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.720 you got to do twenty minutes of exercise. That's one challenge. And then 55 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.839 another challenge is anytime you're sitting for more than twenty minutes, you gotta get 56 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.240 up for twenty seconds. That's the twenty roll. So day seven, you're 57 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:05.120 gonna be doing all seven challenges. And if you do that for one week, 58 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.519 that would be enough time for you to notice a difference in your brain 59 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:14.319 function. How you're improving your memory, you're improving your focus, you're improving 60 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:18.439 your energy, your sleep less stress less anxiety. Not a cure for any 61 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:26.040 condition, but if doing it for one week is enough time to improve function 62 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.800 of your brain so you feel better and improve your quality of life, that's 63 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.759 the seven Day Boost your Brain Power Challenge.

And welcome to boost your brain 104 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:07.000 power. I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. So we're talking about how 105 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:16.720 to improve your memory to improve your focus. There's three major ways to improve 106 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:22.480 your memory and focus that you can implement immediately. The first is fuel delivery. 107 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:28.200 Fuel delivery is oxygen, water, food, right, so we spoke 108 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.840 about before, but eat each color of the rainbow. Then you get all 109 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:39.360 your nutrients. We talked about breathing inhale for four seconds, hold it for 110 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.879 seven exhale for eight breathe from your diaphragm, push your belly down and out 111 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:50.200 on the inhale. Focus on the exhale being at least twice as long as 112 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.279 the inhale to get rid of the carbon dioxide. And then we also spoke 113 00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:01.600 about water. Drinking half your body weight in ounces of with a pinch of 114 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.000 pink malay and salt to add the minerals so that you don't just pee out 115 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.960 the water that you drink, but you actually absorb it. So a lot 116 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.080 of people drink water and then they just pee it out. It's not getting 117 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.799 absorbed. A lot of people eat food and then just poop it out. 118 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:22.440 It's not getting absorbed and nutrients aren't getting utilized. So it's not just about 119 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.080 eating the food. It's also about absorbing the food. It's not about drinking 120 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.960 water. It's about absorbing the water. The best time to absorb it is 121 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.159 not an empty stomach. Harder when you have food in there, so you 122 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.559 don't want to drink water when there's food in your stomach. It's harder to 123 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.039 absorb, it's harder to digest. You always want to drink water on an 124 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.679 empty stomach, right, that's your fuel delivery, oxygen, food, and 125 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.320 water. Now, the second most important thing to improve your memory and focus 126 00:10:52.960 --> 00:11:01.879 is novelty doing new things. You have to do new things every single day. 127 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:07.600 Stop repeating the same week over and over and over again. Mondays, 128 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.000 the same Tuesdays, the same Wednesdays, the same So I know, people 129 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:16.240 get news routines and people are creatures of habits, but that is not beneficial 130 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:22.639 for the brain. The brain needs new activities, new people, new ideas, 131 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:31.559 learning new things, going to new places, meeting new people, learning 132 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.480 things you never learned before. All right, it could be a language, 133 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:41.080 an instrument, a dance, a hobby, but you need to be a 134 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:46.919 student for life. If you want to keep your brain strong, then you 135 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.960 got to use it. The brain is like a muscle. You'll use it 136 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.519 or you lose it. So if you just use it during work and that's 137 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.519 it, and then you come home and watch Netflix and go on YouTube and 138 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:01.960 go on Facebook and go to bed and then wake up and work and the 139 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.039 same thing over and over and over, your brain is going to get worse 140 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:11.559 and worse and worse. So we need to strengthen your brain by doing brain 141 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:18.240 exercises. And it's not doing stuff you know on the computer, you know, 142 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.039 brain games on the computer. The stuff that I was suggesting, right, 143 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.240 it's moving your body, learning a new dance, learning a musical instrument, 144 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.480 traveling, meeting new people. It's getting off your butt and doing activities 145 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.679 and activities that are fun. Now, we gotta have fun. Everyone's too 146 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.799 serious. Right now, we got to have fun. There's twenty four hours 147 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.879 in a day. Eight hours is sleep, eight hours is work, and 148 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.879 eight hours should be fun. And hopefully you're making something fun that's healthy. 149 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.799 Right, So I do a lot of fun activities that are healthy, like 150 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.879 basketball, tennis, soccer, go to Orange theory, go to retro fitness, 151 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.960 go hiking. You know, you want to do stuff that is getting 152 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:13.399 your body moving and you're having fun at the same time. But you got 153 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.120 to find out what's fun for you. It might be you know, yoga 154 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.639 or pilates, or you know, a bar class or you know, you 155 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.279 got to find what's good for you zoomba. You know, something that's hopefully 156 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.159 social, something that is getting your body moving and healthy. And yet it 157 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.360 doesn't always have to be exercise. You know, I like to play cards, 158 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.000 so it's very social, go out with my friends. But then I'm 159 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.759 also using my brain. I gotta strategize. Oh what cards are on the 160 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.879 table? I gotta you know, bet money? Oh like how much should 161 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.000 I bet? Should I not bet? You know, So, even though 162 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:58.639 it's not a physical exercise, it is working your brain, and it's social 163 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:03.480 and you're having fun and you're getting out of the house. You know, 164 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:09.879 we like to play a lot of board games, and in my house we 165 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.000 like to play Jenga and Uno and Monopoly, and you know a lot of 166 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.919 those classics like pictionary, and we like family feud, so we have a 167 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.720 family feud games. So you know, there's a lot of fun stuff that 168 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:28.879 makes you think and social that's going to make your brain stronger. You know, 169 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.559 even just playing chess and checkers and connect four. I mean, you've 170 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.240 got to use your brain. But you're also being social. You're bonding with 171 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.879 your family, your kids, your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, 172 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:45.440 your girlfriend, whoever it is. You're laughing. You know, you're strategizing, 173 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.559 but you're not just sitting on your butt watching a movie. Right. 174 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.440 That's most people's you know way they bond as all let's watch TV or movie 175 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.840 together. But you know, you gotta get off your butt. Do a 176 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.399 little bit differently. I ain't go play minister golf, go bowling, go 177 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.840 ice skating, roller skating, you know, do the fun stuff. Have 178 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:11.039 some fun, right, we gotta have fun and that makes your brain stronger. 179 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.919 If you're always miserable, your brain gets weaker. You're always complaining, 180 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.480 your brain dies off. But the more activities you do, the new activities 181 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.519 that you're not used to doing, right, So, you know, novelty 182 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.600 is key. Don't you know, always do the crossword puzzle, start switching 183 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:35.840 it up, do sudoku, do the word jumble or wordle or you know, 184 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.679 do a maze or a a jigsaw puzzle, or you know, every 185 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:45.799 day, do something different, right, don't always do the same brain game. 186 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.000 Novelty, they do things new, take a new way to work, 187 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.600 you know, just do anything new, make a new meal they never made 188 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.720 before. It could be anything, you know, just you know, learn 189 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.919 something new. Learn how to build a desk, you know from ikea. 190 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:11.559 You know, learn how to plant, you know, herbs in your garden, 191 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:17.840 and you know, learn how to chop wood. It could be anything. 192 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.679 Make a fire, filter water, you know, hopefully something that's like 193 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:26.200 helpful in the real world too, Right, so something that you can contribute 194 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.559 to others and help others, that makes your brain stronger. You know, 195 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.159 the more charity work you do, the more you help others, the stronger 196 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:38.200 your brain gets. You're selfish, your brain will die off quicker. So 197 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:45.960 giving others actually makes your brain stronger, releases hormones and neurotransmitters and activates mitochondria 198 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:52.960 and stem cells. And you know, it's really amazing the neurologic changes that 199 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:59.039 occur with giving and loving and charity and helping others. And not only your 200 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.600 brain, but it helps other people's brain. If you do a good deed, 201 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.039 it helps your brain, It helps the person you're doing the good deed 202 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.799 too, It helps their brain. Plus anyone who observed you do the good 203 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:17.559 deed helps their brain as well. Feel good hormones, oxytocin. You want 204 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:22.519 to stimulate that, get that serotonin going, that dopamine going, you know 205 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:27.359 all those You know, you have a walking pharmacy just in your gym, 206 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:33.920 just by activating those muscles or helping other people or you know, you could 207 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:40.480 literally create all these treatments of chemical imbalances. And I say that with air 208 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:45.200 quotes. You know, that's blame a lot of these neurological sort of any 209 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:51.680 chemical imbalances. But you could produce these chemicals through charity, through exercise, 210 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:56.880 through helping others, through taking a long walk on the beach and going outside 211 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:02.279 in the sun and breathing the air, putting your feet in the dirt and 212 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:06.640 the sand and the grass. You know, we can release these chemicals on 213 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:11.559 our own without any drugs, no medication. So that's what we try and 214 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.359 do at our offices at Caplin Brain and Body is help people in a natural, 215 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:22.279 holistic and integrative way without any drugs, surgery, any risky procedures. 216 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:30.079 So when doing a medical treatment or exam, you always measure the risk versus 217 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.240 the reward. How risky is this and what's the reward? You know, 218 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:37.000 you gotta be careful taking all these X rays and cat skins and taking these 219 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:44.480 contrastsleuies and ultrasounds and mammograms. And it's a lot of radiation. We're only 220 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:48.119 a lot of certain amount of radiation that our body can handle. So you've 221 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.319 got to really pick and choose what's the most important time. I'm trying to 222 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.720 say about my radiation for when I really need it, And luckily I haven't 223 00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:02.680 had too much radiation because I have and needed too many thorough evaluations because I'm 224 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.240 trying to keep myself healthy and try and stay away from that, all right, 225 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.319 So you know you could do it. You can make your brain stronger. 226 00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:15.200 Right, So we got fuel delivery is one, novelty is two, 227 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:26.200 and three is exercise. That's neurologic exercises, that's physical exercises, brain exercises. 228 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.799 You've got to work your brain. I can give you an easy one 229 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.039 right now. So what you do with your right hand, you make a 230 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:41.759 peace sign like just holding two fingers up, and in your left hand make 231 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.960 the ok sign which is your outer of three fingers up and your thumb and 232 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:52.000 your pointer finger touching and make like an O. And so what you do 233 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:55.680 is you count to three. You say one, two three, and then 234 00:19:55.720 --> 00:20:00.599 you switch and do the piece sign on the other hand and the okay sign 235 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:02.759 on the other hand, and you switch them at the same exact time, 236 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:08.920 and every three seconds you switch one two three, switch piece on one okay 237 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:15.680 on the other one two three switch. So it helps to connect that left 238 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.720 and right brain. That's all you're good for. The frontal core text and 239 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.960 the frontal cortex is a lot of times where dementia starts, so it's called 240 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:30.119 frontal temporal dementia. A lot of memory comes from that frontal cortex. Now, 241 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.119 how are you going to know how your frontal core tex is functioning? 242 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:40.319 Well, you got to do an evaluation, and there's different types of evaluation. 243 00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:47.279 One of the best evaluations is called a q EEG brain mapping. A 244 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:52.039 q EEG brain mapping is where you wear this cap sort of look like a 245 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.880 swimmer's cap, and it measures all your brain waves and it's going to tell 246 00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.440 you, Hey, do you have short term memory problems? Do you have 247 00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.720 sick one memory? You have long term memory? You have working memory problems? 248 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:11.559 Do you have troubles with focus, motivation, organization, planning, language, 249 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.519 anxiety, depression, social behaviors? Is there problems with your dopamine? 250 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:21.640 Is there white mattered inflammation? Is there? Intestinal problems? Is there thyroid 251 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.759 problem? Is there concussion or TBI? Is there a pathology? Is there 252 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:32.039 heavy metal poisoning? Is there issues with shifting tasks? Is their executive functions 253 00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:36.920 problems? Is there sensory issues, balance problems, headaches, dizziness? Is 254 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:41.079 there problems where you have bringing in the ears or floaters? In the eyes, 255 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:45.519 or is there a problem with your nervous system that's overstimulated. Is their 256 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:55.519 problem with your stress levels and sleep deprivation and insomnia. It could literally pick 257 00:21:55.599 --> 00:22:00.119 up all these separate thics. It's called a q EEG brain mapping. It 258 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.759 takes about twenty thirty minutes to do the whole process. There's no radiation, 259 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:10.960 there's no risk, and the beauty part is we get the results right away, 260 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.240 super quick, and we could literally tell you which parts of your brain 261 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:19.680 are functioning well and which parts of your brain aren't functioning well, and then 262 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:26.400 come up with natural, holistic ways to improve those weak areas through a process 263 00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:30.680 called neuroplasticity, which means rewiring your brain. Just like you can find a 264 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:36.119 weak muscle and I can give you an exercise to strengthen that week muscle, 265 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:41.680 we could do a QEG brain mapping, find weak areas of the brain and 266 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:48.559 then give you exercises to stimulate those weak areas without any drugs, medications, 267 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.640 surgeries, or electrical shock therapy. So, but you need to do the 268 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.920 qEEG brain mapping. It's normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven 269 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.799 people that call, text or email, instead of paying five hundred dollars, 270 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:07.240 you can get the qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. The phone 271 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:12.839 number is six four six two two one six seven three eight, or you 272 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:19.519 can email info at kaplanbraininbody dot com and just tell them you want to be 273 00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:26.319 one of the first seven people to get the qEEG brain mapping for only twenty 274 00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:32.359 one dollars. This is doctor Eric Kaplan. You're listening to Boosh your brain 275 00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:38.279 Power. We have this weekly show every Saturday. However, we're going to 276 00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:45.079 add for our audience a seminar series. And the seminar series can be done 277 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:52.400 in person.

And if you can do it live, 280 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:06.319 you could do it. Just get a recorded all right. The live events 281 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:11.039 are going to be starting in February. This is called the Boost Your brain 282 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:17.680 Power Seminar Series. Starting in February. It's going to be the last Tuesday 283 00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:22.240 of every month, so last Tuesday of February, last Tuesday March. It's 284 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.839 going to be from six thirty to eight. There's going to be a lot 285 00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:34.359 of valuable information during the seminar series. Okay. The seminar series is going 286 00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:41.079 to cover a wide variety of topics. One the first one is memory and 287 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:48.640 Focus. Okay, if you're interested in signing up for all six seminar series, 288 00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:55.359 they're normally two hundred dollars each, so it's going to be twelve hundred 289 00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.759 dollars for all of them. But we're giving you guys a special gift for 290 00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:04.319 the first seven people that call, text or email.

Welcome back to boost your brain power. I'm your host, doctor 310 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:56.519 Eric Kaplan. So we're talking about the best ways to improve your brain function. 311 00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:03.599 All right. The three most important ways are fuel delivery, novelty, 312 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:12.039 and brain activation. Exercise. You got to exercise that brain. You got 313 00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:18.960 to challenge it. You got to do memory exercises, balance exercises, vision 314 00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:26.920 exercises, coordination exercises, reaction times. There's so many brain exercises you could 315 00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:32.880 do, even smelling exercises. You know, smell is one of the first 316 00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:40.039 things that goes with Alzheimer's in Parkinson's disease, and it's related to that frontal 317 00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:45.319 cortex. Smell goes directly to that frontal cortex. It's called the olfactory nerve. 318 00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:49.119 It's the only nerve that goes directly to the brain as far as your 319 00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:56.720 sensory systems. It's very powerful. So if you have an issue with your 320 00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:03.440 smell, that could lead to neurological disorder. That's very dangerous. So you 321 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:08.880 have to do smelling exercises and the idea the best test is called a peanut 322 00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:15.559 butter test. The peanut butter test will tell us how well your frontal cortex 323 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:22.440 and smell your factory nerve is working. And what you do is you want 324 00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:27.279 to hold the peanut butters far away from your nose as possible and still smell 325 00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:33.039 the peanut butter. So you hunt it all the way down by your waist. 326 00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.079 Cover one nostril, so you test each nostril separately, because you might 327 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.240 have good smell in one nostril and bad smell in the other nostril. Then 328 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.920 you're gonna have this brain imbalance that's not good either. So when you have 329 00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:49.359 one side smelling good in the other side smelling bad, that's not good because 330 00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:55.839 you're gonna get differences in activation of your brain function. If you have one 331 00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:57.799 ear that here as well and one that doesn't, that's not good. You 332 00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:03.480 get imbalances or one eye. So your health is about keeping everything in balance. 333 00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.839 You want your smell balance, you want your muscles balance, you want 334 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:14.000 your bones balanced. Your circulation, your blood pressure should be the same from 335 00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:17.839 right to left. Your pupil size should be the same from right to left. 336 00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:19.920 When you stick out your tongue, it should go straight out. It 337 00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:29.240 should go out to one side. When you smile or frown, your face 338 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:36.480 should look the same. If you have differences and left to right, that 339 00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:41.359 means there's going to be imbalances of your brain function, and that's not good. 340 00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:49.279 So there's a test called a VNG video and nostography, or sometimes it's 341 00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:57.880 called a VOG video oculography, and that measures the balance of your brain function. 342 00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:03.599 That's going to tell us if one side's overactive or one side's underactive. 343 00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:11.279 So we'll see that a lot. In a bipolar disorder or manic depressant, 344 00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:17.920 we have one side that's overactive, that's more the anxiety in the mania, 345 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.640 and then you have one side that's underactive, that's the depression, the lack 346 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:30.400 of motivation, the fatigue. So a lot of people have these imbalances and 347 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.319 we got to figure out, o, hey, what areas are overactive and 348 00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:37.720 that could be related to your sleeping difficulties or your heart palpitations or your high 349 00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:45.720 blood pressure, and we might have to calm those down. Which areas are 350 00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:57.640 underactive poor memory or focus, low motivation, fatigue, brain fog. Then 351 00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:06.000 we got to stimulate those. So there's imbalances from left to right. So 352 00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:14.200 that's why it's good to do this vn G test or VOG. This test 353 00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:21.000 is super simple. You just gotta wear goggles and you look at different like 354 00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:22.880 this red light. It's gonna go right, and it's gonna go left, 355 00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:26.880 and it's gonna go up and down. It's gonna go fast and slow, 356 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:29.279 and it's gonna be in the dark and a light, and it's gonna be 357 00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:33.319 with the head turnet. So you do all these different evaluations and based on 358 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:40.000 that we could figure out which areas of brain are weakest and which areas are 359 00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:45.759 strongest, which areas are overactive, which areas are underactive. So to get 360 00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:49.960 good brain function, you have to make things equal from right to left. 361 00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:56.359 That's super important, right, That's why you have to do this VNG test. 362 00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:01.480 And we're gonna give a gift to you guys. The VNG is normally 363 00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:07.279 five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people that call, text or 364 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:14.920 email, you could get the VNG for only twenty one dollars. Right. 365 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:21.279 All you have to do is caller text six four six two two one six 366 00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:28.720 seven three eight, or you can email info at kaplinbrainebody dot com. Just 367 00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:31.400 tell them you want to be one of the first seven people to get the 368 00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:39.680 VNG for only twenty one dollars. You can also email info at kaplinbrainbody dot 369 00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:45.240 com. So that test is very good because there's no radiation, there's no 370 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.119 risk, there's no contrast fluid, you don't have to sit in some small 371 00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:54.039 tube, there's no claustrophobia, there's no loud sounds, super quick, only 372 00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:59.279 takes about fifteen minutes to do, uh, and very valuable. We get 373 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:05.920 the results right away as well. So getting back to the brain function, 374 00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:12.759 right, So we said you need fuel delivery, you need novelty, and 375 00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:19.680 you need brain activation. Now, with brain activation, you can also do 376 00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:23.799 physical exercise. So physical exercise is going to make your brain stronger, It's 377 00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:29.440 going to get more blood and more oxygen. Physical exercise is the cure for 378 00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:32.599 every condition. If you have heart disease, if you have cancer, if 379 00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:37.319 you have diabetes, if you have obesity, if you have Alzheimer's, if 380 00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:42.400 you have dizziness and headaches. So you know, you might have to figure 381 00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.559 out which exercise is appropriate for you. But the worst thing for the brain 382 00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:50.799 is just lying down or sitting on the couch doing nothing. You know, 383 00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:54.240 when people get concussions, a lot of doctors tell them, hey, just 384 00:33:54.400 --> 00:34:00.839 rest. That's actually not good advice. A lot of search shows that the 385 00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:07.119 rest can actually make concussion symptoms worse. We see a lot of concussion patients 386 00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:12.400 and our offices in New Jersey and New York, and we do it virtually 387 00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:16.840 as well. And what we have to do is get their brain stronger. 388 00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:22.000 Right. You know, Let's say, if you injured a muscle, you 389 00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:23.800 can't just say, oh, I'm not gonna I'm just gonna rest it. 390 00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:27.159 No, you have to exercise it. You have to get it strong. 391 00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:31.519 Now, you can't overdo it where the you know, muscle gets strained. 392 00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:37.840 You can't overdo the brain where the brain gets overactive either. That's not good. 393 00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:42.480 So with concussion, you can underdo it by just resting too much, 394 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:46.000 and you can overdo it by working too hard. So that's what we do 395 00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:51.159 very well. It's an art of just kind of little by little getting that 396 00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:54.000 brain stronger and stronger. Just like building a muscle. You start off with 397 00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.800 five pounds and then you go to ten pounds and then you go to fifteen. 398 00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:01.280 A lot of these concussion CLINICX they kind of overdo it and then they 399 00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:07.679 create more symptoms there. So concussion it's you know, it's very particular because 400 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:13.880 everybody's brain is different, so when you get a concussion, you could damage 401 00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:15.880 all different areas of the brain. So that's why we've got to do proper 402 00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:22.880 evaluations. And the qEEG brain mapping and the VNG are the best testing if 403 00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:30.320 you've had concussion. All right, Now, what else is important to improve 404 00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:37.000 your memory is your rest right, So if your brain's not resting, then 405 00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:42.039 it's not absorbing the nutrients, it's not healing, it's not cleaning out the 406 00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:47.199 bad brain cells. So after forty years of age, every decade of our 407 00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:53.000 life we lose ten percent of our brain cells. However, the key is 408 00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:59.280 to make sure that we get rid of the bad brain cells and we keep 409 00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:04.320 the good brain cells. And the way we do that is through autophogy. 410 00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:10.599 Autoplogy means eat self. And what you want to do is eat your own 411 00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:16.920 bad brain cells and eliminate them. And we have all these ways to detox. 412 00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:21.760 When I say detox, that's getting rid of the bad stuff that we're 413 00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:24.199 exposed to. We have heavy metals. If you have heavy metals in your 414 00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:28.480 brain, like aluminum, that's going to lead to Alzheimer's. That's going to 415 00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:34.920 affect your memory. So we have to detox from the aluminum. If you 416 00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:42.480 want a good, healthy detox smoothie, email my office. It's info at 417 00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:45.480 Caplinbrain Andbody dot com. I can give you the ingredients. You just buy 418 00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:50.800 the ingredients. If you think you've been exposed to heavy metals. This is 419 00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:55.000 a great smoothie, completely natural. It's not a kualation therapy. Those can 420 00:36:55.039 --> 00:37:00.840 be very dangerous, but it's just a smoothie that helps to de toxifying and 421 00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:04.079 get rid of any heavy metals that you've been expused to just give us an 422 00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:08.920 email at info at Kaplinbraininbody dot com and I can have one of my team 423 00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:16.440 members send you guys the Detox smoothie. All right, So heavy metals we 424 00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:22.199 got to get rid of, right, So we have aluminum that's everywhere, 425 00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:27.079 aluminum foil. There's aluminum pans, you know, get your cookwaar. Make 426 00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:31.880 sure it's stainless steel. When you store food, put it either in glass 427 00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:38.639 or stainless steel, because then the chemicals don't leach into the food. All 428 00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:46.239 right, So stop storing in aluminum cans, aluminum tup pans, aluminum storage 429 00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:52.760 containers, aluminum foil. Even touching aluminum foil, it gets into your system. 430 00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:59.159 Okay, there's aluminum in the air, there's aluminum in the water, 431 00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:06.039 so we got to really reduce our exposure to aluminum. It's in deodorants actually, 432 00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:09.400 so make sure you buy if you buy deodorant, make sure it's aluminum 433 00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:15.119 free, you know. And you can use simple stuff just like baking soda 434 00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:20.519 that helps to get rid of body odor. Baking soda is super cheap, 435 00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:25.320 super healthy, no risk, no side effects, no chemicals. Right, 436 00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:32.400 take advantage of all these natural holistic cheap products like vinegar you know that cleans 437 00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:38.400 a lot of stuff, Lemon orange peel. You know, there's all these 438 00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:45.239 natural products that you don't have to use all these chemicals. You know a 439 00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:49.559 lot of a lot of patients they use mouthwash. So now that's not good. 440 00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.039 The alcohol in mouthwash is going to kill off all these good bacteria you 441 00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:57.880 need as a good bacteria. So it's much better to do oil pulling, 442 00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:04.079 where you just take coke, not oil, and you put a one drop 443 00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:08.559 of tea tree oil as well, and these have natural antibiotic properties that's gonna 444 00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:15.079 kill bad bacteria and not sacrifice good bacteria. So you do oil pulling. 445 00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:20.519 You just take coconut oil, one little drop of tea tree oil, swish 446 00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:24.639 it around in your mouth from thirty seconds to two minutes, and then spit 447 00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:30.599 it out in your garbage so it doesn't clog your pipes or anything like that. 448 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:31.960 But that gets rid of the bacteria. You want to do that first 449 00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:37.840 thing in the morning, before you even swallow, before you talk. The 450 00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:45.920 oil pulling is very healthy to kill off the good bacteria. Sleep will help 451 00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:50.920 get rid of the good bad bad bacteria. So with the autopogy when you're 452 00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:54.519 not when you're resting and you're not eating, now your body can cleanse itself. 453 00:39:55.280 --> 00:40:00.920 That's autophogy and it can be created through fasting. And this needs to 454 00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:04.840 be under supervision. So if you're interested in fasting, set up you know, 455 00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:07.400 a consultation with me. You could do a free ten minute consultation. 456 00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:13.000 I can kind of discuss those options. But with fasting, when I do 457 00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:15.159 my personal fast, and I'm not recommending you guys to do this without proper 458 00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:22.000 supervision, but I'll do a fast from Friday night, so once you know 459 00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:30.400 dinner's over by six o'clock Friday night, then we're fasting Friday night, all 460 00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:36.880 day Saturday, all day Sunday, and then break the fast Monday breakfast at 461 00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:40.880 ten am. So that creates a lot of autology. So if you have 462 00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:44.880 a weekend where you don't have a lot of activities and you can take it 463 00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:49.719 easy and you want to cleanse your brain, you have Parkinson's or Alzheimer's or 464 00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:53.119 memory problems and you want to kind of create this autology and cleanse your brain 465 00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:57.760 of all these bad brain cells. That's one of the best ways to do 466 00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:01.679 it. And then you detox through your and your poop and your pee, 467 00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:07.400 and your tears and your ear wax and your boogers, so you get rid 468 00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:12.480 of all the bad stuff, and then your body systems will eliminate those toxins 469 00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:17.719 from your body the way it was meant to be. This is doctor Eric 470 00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:23.039 Kaplan. You're listening to boost to brain power. Will continue this conversation when 471 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:28.079 we come back.

Doctor Kaplan is most famous for getting to the root cause of 480 00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:10.760 a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional 481 00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:15.760 medicines and risky surgeries. To contact the doctor Kaplan. You can call his 482 00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:19.559 team at two O one two six one two one five zero or visit his 483 00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:27.920 website at kaplindc dot com. Welcome back to boost your brain power. I'm 484 00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:34.039 your host, doctor Eric Kaplan. So we're talking about how to improve your 485 00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:39.400 brain function in natural, holistic ways without any drugs, without any surgeries, 486 00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:46.400 and ways called neuroplasticity, where you can rewire your brain so you can do 487 00:42:46.480 --> 00:42:52.880 brain exercises to make your brain stronger. So the idea is to make the 488 00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:59.800 brain cells that you do have create more connections between them. When they analyze 489 00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:06.039 Einstein's brain, they found he actually didn't have more neurons than the average brain, 490 00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:09.199 but what he had is more connections, and then he could see things 491 00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:15.760 that nobody else could. He could imagine things and visualize things because his brain 492 00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:22.119 was so interconnected. That's the key. The more bridges, the more synapses, 493 00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:29.639 the more connections collaterals in your brain cells, the higher function. Because 494 00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:34.599 if there is a time where you don't get good sleep, or you're emotionally 495 00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:38.440 stressed, or you're dehydrated, or you ate a bad meal and you've kind 496 00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:45.280 of killed off some of these bad brain pathways, if you have more connections, 497 00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:51.239 then you don't have any consequences because you have these backup plans. So 498 00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:54.639 the more connections, the more stress your brain can handle. Right now, 499 00:43:54.679 --> 00:44:00.920 people can't handle stress. They get stressed out over the smallest little things. 500 00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:05.440 Right, So if you think about the big picture, we should all be 501 00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:10.119 stress free. Right.
