Hello and welcome to boost 3 00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:18.120 your brain power. I'm your hosts, doctor Eric Kaplan. We're talking about 4 00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:24.359 how to improve your brain function. There are so many ways to improve your 5 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:29.960 brain functions. So let's just go over the ABC's of how to improve your 6 00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:36.359 brain function to function better, feel better, and live a better life. 7 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.880 So let's start off with a air. It's the most important thing, getting 8 00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:48.200 enough air and oxygen. Now, how you're going to do that? Number 9 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:53.399 one? We could get some plants in your house or your home that has 10 00:00:53.640 --> 00:01:00.240 high producing oxygen and detoxification. You want to purify your air so many toxins, 11 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:10.120 so trees, plants, bushes, all these greeneries help to detoxify the 12 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:15.640 air. And what better place to detoxify your air than your own living space, 13 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:22.439 So get lots of plants. The best plants for purification for most oxygen 14 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:30.280 are spider plants, snake plants, alovera plants, money plants. Those are 15 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.799 going to produce a lot of oxygen because the more oxygen you have, the 16 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:42.200 better your brain functions. The three most important areas to improve your brain function 17 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:55.000 are oxygen activation and proper food and nutrition. So air oxygen are super important 18 00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:02.400 to maximize your brain's potential. Be breathing all right, Now that we have 19 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.680 more oxygen in our home, now we've got to breathe properly. I like 20 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:13.719 to breathe outside. So if you can go to some forests, some trees 21 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:20.039 the woods, one tree gives enough oxygen for five people, so I like 22 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.400 to reverse that ratio. I want five trees for one person. Now I'm 23 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:29.560 going to really increase my oxygen levels. This is where I'm gonna do my 24 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:36.639 breathing exercises. My breathing exercise to maximize your oxygen and get rid of your 25 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:42.560 carbon dioxide is to inhale for four seconds, hold it for seven seconds, 26 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:49.240 and exhale for eight seconds. That's going to maximize your oxygen. And the 27 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:55.240 proper breathing technique is diaframatic breathing. So for that, when you inhale, 28 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.039 push your belly down and out like you're a pregnant woman. And when your 29 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:06.560 exhale, suck it in and squeeze all that carbon dioxide out of your lungs. 30 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.439 The more carbon dioxide you get out of your lungs, the more room 31 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.159 for oxygen, and that will do better breathing. You don't want to breathe 32 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:23.240 from your neck and your shoulders. That's cause accessory muscles of respiration. And 33 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:29.719 if you're breathing from your shoulders or your neck, you're using the accessory muscles. 34 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.800 What we want to do is use those primary muscles, that diaphragm. 35 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.159 So remember when you inhale, push the diaphragm down and out, and when 36 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:46.520 you exhale, push everything in to squeeze that carbon dioxide out of your body. 37 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:53.800 And remember we need oxygen to live, and the plants need carbon dioxide. 38 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.439 So when you breathe and you're doing that long exhale, not only are 39 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:03.000 you getting rid of toxic stuff in your body, but now you're giving you're 40 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.000 giving what the what the plants need, what the flowers need, what your 41 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.840 vegetables need, they need that carbon dioxide. So not only are you helping 42 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.879 get rid of your bad stuff, you're giving good stuff to the environment. 43 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:23.360 All right, So breathing is very important. Inhale for four seconds, hold 44 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.720 it for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds. We always want to 45 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.959 exhale longer than we inhale, so we can get rid of that carbon dioxide, 46 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:39.959 which creates an acidic environment. And all disease looves an acidic environment, 47 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:46.959 whether it's heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, inflammation. They 48 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:51.199 love when you have more carbon dioxide, which is going to increase in acidic 49 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:57.800 environment. All right, we're up to see circulation, blood flow. So 50 00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.920 many patients come to me, especially right now. My feet are so cold, 51 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:11.319 my hands get cold so easily. My temperature is always off. That 52 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:17.120 is poor circulation, that is poor blood flow. All right. The best 53 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:25.079 way to get circulation is to move your body. A sedentary lifestyle will reduce 54 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:29.319 circulation. And that's what most people do. They're at the computer all day 55 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:33.199 at work, and they sit home at dinner, and they sit and watch 56 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:38.000 TV, even if it's the weekend. They sit at the bar, they 57 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.240 sit at the restaurant, they sit at the movie theater, they sit at 58 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:46.000 the play, they sit at the opera. Everything that you do is sitting. 59 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:51.199 The commute is seated. You know, wherever you are, everyone's looking 60 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:57.040 for a seat. Let's start getting up from your seat. I call it 61 00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.120 the twenty rule. So if you want to improve circation, you gotta follow 62 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:06.439 the twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, you get up for twenty seconds, 63 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:12.800 move your body, and then you could go back to whatever you're doing, 64 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:18.199 whether you're reading, working, watching TV, at the computer, on your 65 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:23.639 cell phone. You gotta follow the twenty rule. Put an alarm on your 66 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.240 phone because you're not gonna remember. So every twenty minutes, you get up 67 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.480 for twenty seconds and move your body. I don't care if it's just walking 68 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:35.959 for twenty seconds, doing twenty pushups, doing twenty sit ups, doing twenty 69 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:43.720 lunges, doing twenty squats, doing twenty shoulder rolls, doing twenty jumping jacks. 70 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:49.600 Just do twenty seconds of some sort of movement activity. Here it was 71 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:55.959 just shaking your whole body for twenty seconds, But move that body, march 72 00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.439 in place for twenty seconds. You gotta do something. You gotta move that 73 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.759 body. The sedentary lifestyle will kill you. Sitting is considered the new smoking. 74 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.720 If you want to improve your brain, you want to improve your body, 75 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.279 you want to improve your circulation, you better start moving your body. 76 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.399 You use it or you lose it. And circulation is everything. Blood flow 77 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:24.120 is everything. If you have poor circulation, you're not gonna feel good. 78 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:29.360 If you have pain, that's poor circulation. It's lack a blood flow to 79 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.560 the area. If you have a headache, that's lack of blood flow into 80 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:40.079 your brain. If you have dizziness, lack of blood flow into the head. 81 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:45.639 If you have chest pains, lack of blood flow into the heart. 82 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:51.040 If you have stomach pain, lack of blood flow into the gut. Right, 83 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:56.079 that's why people get menstrual crams, start getting rid of all the blood. 84 00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:03.639 You don't improve circulation, improve blood flow. You got to move your 85 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.600 body. So follow the twenty rule. All right, Now we're up to 86 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.680 D. Vitamin D the most important vitamin. It's not even a vitamin, 87 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.480 it's actually a hormone, but is the most important vitamin. When you do 88 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.079 blood work, you have to check your vitamin D. Most doctors say if 89 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.839 your levels are above thirty, then your vitamin D levels are good. I 90 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.200 want you to double that. I'm very different than most doctors. My levels 91 00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:37.639 when I look at blood work do not correlate to the typical lab values. 92 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:45.759 And the reason why is the typical lab values are the typical Americans who are 93 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:52.600 getting blood work and These are sick Americans. These are people with heart disease, 94 00:08:52.240 --> 00:09:00.799 cancer, obesity, diabetes. They're always getting sick. We commune systems, 95 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.960 liver trouble, lung trouble, dementia, memory problems. Most of the 96 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.440 people that are getting blood work, that are going to the doctor are very 97 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:18.320 sick Americans. The healthiest people are the ones that stay away from the doctors. 98 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.559 Stay away from the surgeries, stay away from the drugs, stay away 99 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:31.480 from all the medicines. The less intervention, the better. Doctors intervene too 100 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.320 much. I am the type of doctor that lets the body heal itself. 101 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:46.919 I believe in staying away from too many aggressive therapies. When doing a medical 102 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:54.240 type of treatment, you always measure the risk versus the reward. So the 103 00:09:54.240 --> 00:10:01.120 therapies that I choose to do have very low risk and very high reward. 104 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:09.080 That is the key to choosing what type of healthcare you want to participate in. 105 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:16.039 Okay, So even with supplements, I don't want to give you too 106 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.720 many supplements. That's not good. So medicine can be dangerous. Drugs can 107 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:26.080 be dangerous, but supplements can be dangerous. So you got to look at 108 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.720 your blood work to see what your levels are. And the thing is, 109 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:39.080 almost every single person I test is vitamin D deficient up here in New Jersey 110 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.200 and New York. Now, patients I see in other parts of the world 111 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:50.559 that are closer to the equator have much higher levels of vitamin D. Number 112 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:56.759 one, they're outside more. Number two, they have more skin exposure. 113 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:05.200 In America, especially in the northern latitudes, people are inside all day, 114 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:11.360 and even when they're inside, their skin is covered with glasses or a hat 115 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.840 or coat or pants. You're not gonna get vitamin D without getting the skin 116 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:24.840 exposed. So instead of our vitamin D levels being normal, which is above 117 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:31.200 thirty, which is a typical sick American for our patients, we like those 118 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:37.080 vitamin D levels to be double that. So we don't want thirty in our 119 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.480 blood work. We want a level of at least sixty. Now you're looking 120 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.840 at healthy vitamin D levels. And why is vitamin D so important. It'll 121 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.279 help prevent Alzheimer's, that's been proven through neuroscience. It helps improve your thyroid 122 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:58.399 which controls this T three and T four and all your hormones and regulation. 123 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.759 It's going to be good for your gut health. It's gonna be good for 124 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:11.799 your mood. It's been one of the most important ways to reverse depression is 125 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:20.120 vitamin D supplementation. Especially now as it's the fall and winter, people are 126 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:26.440 getting less vitamin D. They're getting what's called seasonal affect disorder SAD. Seasonal 127 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.879 affect disorder SAD, and that's from a vitamin D deficiency. So if you 128 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.679 have depression, one of the best things to do is take vitamin D. 129 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.559 Now we need a quality vitamin D. For example, the best vitamin D 130 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.159 that I personally take and give to my family and I recommend for my patients 131 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:50.240 is from Apex Energetics because it has other stuff for absorption in it. It's 132 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.559 in fat. Vitamin D does not get absorbed unless it's in fat, and 133 00:12:54.600 --> 00:13:01.080 there's other cofactors that been needed. So the Apex vitamin D supplementation as all 134 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:07.039 these cofactors, including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin A, vitamin K. 135 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.480 You need these vitamins for absorption. So when you go to the vitamin 136 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.399 shop CBS GNC and you buy this vitamin D, it's usually a crappy vitamin 137 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:22.120 D that doesn't get absorbed, full of impurities, contaminants, fillers, even 138 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:28.720 food dies so it canna be very careful with supplements. Ninety five percent of 139 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.960 those supplements that you'll find out in the real world are unhealthy. So you 140 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.639 only want to deal with companies when you're supplementing that are high quality and that 141 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:43.360 will be prescribed by a doctor. So if you can have some you know, 142 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.000 high school seven year old kid telling you what vitamins you need to help 143 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.159 you sleep better, that's not good. You want to get vitamins that are 144 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.960 recommended by your doctor who knows you, looks at your blood work and knows 145 00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:01.799 exactly what you need. Don't try and sell helf medicaid with supplements that can 146 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.039 be very dangerous. Right, So, vitamin D levels being wow is not 147 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.039 good for your brain. So if you want to prevent dementia, prevent Alzheimer's, 148 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:18.159 thyroid problems, immune system problems, make sure your vitamin D levels are 149 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:24.159 normal, and not just normal compared to a typical lab value, but healthy 150 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:30.440 normal, which is not just above thirty, but at least fifty, sixty, 151 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.039 even seventy. That's what levels we're looking for from maximum vitamin D function. 152 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.960 We're going to continue this discussion when we come back from the break. 153 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:48.399 This is doctor Eric Kaplan.

Welcome back to boost your brain power. 165 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.679 I'm your host, Doctor Eric Kaplan. So we're up to the letter 166 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.440 E as far as improving your brain function. So what is E for energy? 167 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.159 Wow? Energy? Everybody leans about energy and the worst thing is to 168 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.960 wake up, press the snooze alarm, get that extra seven minutes. That's 169 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:12.120 not good. It's better to wake up early and exercise, even though it's 170 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.559 hard to get out of bed in the beginning. That's going to increase your 171 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.639 energy for the rest of your day. You don't want to just roll out 172 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.600 of bed at all groggy. First thing is a cup of coffee on an 173 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:29.840 empty stomach. That's one of the unhealthiest things you can do. All right, 174 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:36.080 we need to boost our energy by exercising in the morning when testosterone and 175 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:41.440 cortisol levels are highest. You want to boost your energy by going outside during 176 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:47.919 sunrise. That way, your eyes and your brain can see the sun rising 177 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.279 and know, okay, it's time for the day to begin. It's time 178 00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:56.679 to increase energy. It's time to boost your brain power. But if you're 179 00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:02.720 inside, you might not realize what time day it is. Conversely, when 180 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:04.799 the sun is setting, you also want to go outside. Now. The 181 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:08.519 brain says it's time to relax, it's time to chill out. It's time 182 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.319 to rest, it's time to get that deep sleep. When you rest, 183 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:18.559 relax and get that deep sleep, that's when you reenergize. That's when you 184 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.799 reoxygenate. That's how you're gonna boost your energy. And when you wake up 185 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:27.599 you're gonna feel well rested, so you have to use the sun. So 186 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:33.799 go outside during sun rise just for ten to twenty minutes. Go outside during 187 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:40.240 sun set just for ten to twenty minutes. Make sure you do intermittent fasting, 188 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:45.079 which is where you eat from ten am to six pm and you sleep 189 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:52.960 from six pm to ten am. That's gonna maximize your energy because you're gonna 190 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:57.440 eat during the daylight hours that's when you need energy, and you're not gonna 191 00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:03.039 eat during the nighttime hours when you're trying to relax and calm your nervous system 192 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:08.160 down and re energize so you're ready to go for the next day. Now 193 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:15.319 we're at f fat. Speaking of energy, the best food that's gonna have 194 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.680 the long lasting energy its fat. But we want good, healthy fat. 195 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:26.119 We want the fat of a burger. We don't want milk fat. That's 196 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.559 not good fat. That's gonna cause high cholesterol. And if you have high 197 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:36.519 cholesterol, then you're gonna be more likely to take statin drugs. And if 198 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:41.000 you have to take statin drugs, these cholesterol drugs, that's gonna cause dementia. 199 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:47.119 One of the leading causes dementia is statin drugs. So you don't want 200 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.200 to have high cholesterol, and you're gonna get that from eating a lot of 201 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:56.359 dairy products, eating a lot of bread products, eating a lot of unhealthy 202 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:03.160 animal products. That is going to cause your cholesterol to be high, a 203 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.200 lot of sugar. So when you eat all the white foods, the white 204 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:14.319 flour, the dairy and milk, all the white foods, the sugar, 205 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:19.000 we're gonna stay away from the white foods. That's going to increase your cholesterol. 206 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.839 Then you're gonna have to take cholesterol meds and that's gonna cause dimension. 207 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.559 We do not want that. It also causes joint pain. So if you 208 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:30.559 have a lot of aches and pains and you're on statin drugs, it could 209 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.599 be a side effect. Remember when taking a medicine and doing any medical procedure, 210 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.160 you measure the risk versus the reward. Hey, what's the risk of 211 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.559 taking statin drugs? If you can reverse your cholesterol so you don't need to 212 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:48.559 take statin drugs, that's a better option. But you gotta eat healthy fat, 213 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.119 not the unhealthy fat, not the trans fat. The trans fat is 214 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:59.599 found in all those you know, potato chips and cookies and brets and in 215 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.440 the cakes and muffins, and the croissants and the bagels, and you know 216 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:11.319 all the Halloween candy and the snickers and the Three Musketeers and the twigs, 217 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:18.160 and you know all these popcorn, and you know all these laized potato chips 218 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:23.920 and doritos and pringles, and these are full of trans fat. All those 219 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.640 stuff in the boxes and the cans and the bags, all the desserts, 220 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:32.279 the cookies. We gotta stay away from those trans fat. And we need 221 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:36.519 to eat a lot of healthy fat. Now, what's healthy fat? Avocado, 222 00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:41.920 healthy fat, walnuts, healthy fat, sardines, salmon, healthy fat, 223 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:48.799 eggs, healthy fat, olives, healthy fat, coconut oil, healthy 224 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.279 fat. Those are the healthy fat. Your nerves are covered in fat. 225 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:59.319 It's called this miling sheep. People have MS multiple sclerosis. They're losing the 226 00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.119 fat off their nerves. And if you have vitamin D deficiency, you're more 227 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:10.559 likely to get multiple sclerosis. People who move from Puerto Rico to Minnecan Cuba, 228 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:12.960 the Caribbean, South America, and they move up to New Jersey, 229 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.720 New York, their genes require more sunlight, more vitamin D. So when 230 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:25.119 they move up to these northern latitudes, they're more likely to get multiple sclerosis 231 00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:32.039 or thyroid problems because of their vitamin D deficiency. So if you have any 232 00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:37.119 issue with your nerves, get aeropathy, got to look at your fat. 233 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.079 You gotta make sure you eat a lot of healthy fat, all right, 234 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:47.880 and stay away from the unhealthy fat that is your friend. Years ago, 235 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:53.960 decades ago, actually sugar made the fat industry the enemy. When sugar was 236 00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.519 the real enemy. Sugar was causing all this heart disease and cancer and diabetes 237 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:03.119 and all, but they didn't want to blame. So they did this campaign 238 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.720 and they started blaming fat, and they said fat is bad. And when 239 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.720 the government made the food pyramid, they put fat on top, have very 240 00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.640 little fat, and then they put dairy and grains on the bottoments that have 241 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:21.720 a lot of milk products, a lot of bread products. So we got 242 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:25.240 to do with that food perimeters, reverse it upside down, and you want 243 00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:29.759 to have more fat, good healthy fat, and you want to have very 244 00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.359 little grains and dairy. Those are the unhealthy stuff. You want to be 245 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.440 like everybody else, Eat like everybody else, Have a lot of milk, 246 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:40.400 have a lot of cheese, have a lot of yogurt, have all these 247 00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:45.519 grains and cereal every morning, and toast and butter and oatmeal and all this 248 00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:55.680 regular breakfast pancakes and waffles and bagels and cream cheese. I mean, it's 249 00:22:55.799 --> 00:23:00.000 literally set up to make you sick. Stop eating a normal, typical American 250 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.680 breakfast. Think outside the box. I don't care if you have a piece 251 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:08.440 of fish for breakfast that's healthy. A piece of grilled chicken that's healthy. 252 00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:15.920 Have some baked turkey balls that's healthy. Have a salad, have a bunch 253 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.880 of fruit, have some walnuts, some avocados, some olives. You know, 254 00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:26.200 think outside the box. You don't need bread and butter for breakfast. 255 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:30.079 With a cup of coffee. That is going to cause a lot of problems. 256 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:34.039 That's not gonna increase your energy. That's gonna cause more health problems. 257 00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:40.880 All right, So good healthy fat for breakfast is gonna give you high energy 258 00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:47.319 throughout the day.

Then you gotta challenge your muscles. You gotta do weight resistant 310 00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:45.400 exercise. That's also important, not just running or biking or climbing, but 311 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.880 also gotta do weight resistant exercises. You gotta buy some weights, you gotta 312 00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.799 go to the gym, or you gotta use your own body weight. Do 313 00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:57.000 some pushups or some pull ups. You know, you could use your own 314 00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:02.359 body weight for weight resistance.

When you challenge your muscles, 318 00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:23.160 that will boost your brain power. I Intermittent fasting. We talked about 319 00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:29.079 that before. It's so important for your brain function and your body function and 320 00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:33.960 your detoxification. If we're constantly eating, your body doesn't have time to get 321 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:37.839 rid of the bad stuff. So, you know, when we think thousands 322 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.240 of years ago, you know, our ancestors weren't eating all the time. 323 00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.680 They didn't wake up, you know, at six in the morning, seven 324 00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:49.000 in the morning, and eat right away, and then eat breakfast, and 325 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:52.759 then eat a snack and the lunch and then another snacking and dinner and then 326 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.759 snack at night. You know, that they didn't eat all day. They 327 00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:03.759 ate during the daylight hours. That's why it's best for intimate and fasting to 328 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.799 eat from ten am to six pm, and then you want to sleep from 329 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:14.000 six pm to ten am. Therefore you could detox, you could reoxygenate, 330 00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:21.160 re energize. Jay juicing. A lot of people think juicing is healthy. 331 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:26.319 Juicing is not healthy. Juicing takes away all the healthy stuff. It gets 332 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.920 rid of all the fiber, all the nutrients, and keeps all the sugar 333 00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:34.240 the bad stuff. Actually, if you want to juice, the best way 334 00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:41.799 to juice is after your juice, you pour out the juice and you eat 335 00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.000 all the scraps, all the fiber. That's where the good stuff is. 336 00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:49.160 If you want to do some sort of drink in the morning, do blending. 337 00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:56.920 When you blend, you keep in all the fiber. Juicing you get 338 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:00.880 rid of all the fiber, and fiber helps us with our digestion and all 339 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:06.519 the best nutrients are in that skin. So don't think juicing is healthy. 340 00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:10.559 Blending is a much better option. But ultimately you want to eat the whole 341 00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:15.640 foods. You want to start the digestive process in your mouth. Hey, 342 00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:21.319 vitamin K we said you need vitamin K for vitamin D absorption. Almost all 343 00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:23.640 those vitamin d's out there do not have vitamin K for absorption and don't have 344 00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:30.519 the fat for absorption. Ll love. You have to have some love in 345 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.279 your life, to family, your friends. We cannot be isolated, cannot 346 00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:40.240 be on social media. That's not friendship. You have to have real experiences 347 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:45.039 in the real world with real love. So I don't care if it's just 348 00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.079 one or two people that have love in your life, but you need some 349 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:53.240 love in your life. Your brain will die off without love, without relationships, 350 00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:57.359 without connections. If you don't have human connections, you will not have 351 00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:00.880 brain connections. We need love. We need to hold hands, we need 352 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:06.039 to kiss, we need to hug. We don't at least oxytocin the love 353 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:10.039 hormone. You can even if you don't have people to be friends with. 354 00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:15.599 Get a dog that will release the love hormone. But create these connections with 355 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:22.200 touch, connection, love, cuddling, kissing. That's going to really boost 356 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:27.319 your brain power, m memory. You gotta challenge your brain. Stop using 357 00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:34.400 googling, YouTube for everything. Start thinking the technology makes you stupid. It's 358 00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:41.160 called digital dementia. So challenge yourself on purpose. Remember somebody's phone number that 359 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:48.599 would be very surprised. Remember your grocery list, remember somebody's address. Don't 360 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.000 just put it in the GPS. Don't just look in your phone book, 361 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.519 don't just google it. Challenge yourself. I don't care if it takes an 362 00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:01.359 extra few minutes. But your memory will get worse if you don't challenge it. 363 00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:06.680 So people don't use their memory anymore. That's why their memory gets worse. 364 00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:10.240 That has nothing to do with age. Stop letting people tell you your 365 00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:15.079 memory gets worse with age. That's not true. You just stop challenging your 366 00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:19.799 brain. You stop going to school, you stop learning. So if you 367 00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:23.160 want your memory to improve, you've got to challenge your memory. You use 368 00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:30.160 it or you lose it. And nutrition, you gotta eat each color of 369 00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:32.519 the rain every day, something that's red, orange, yellow, green, 370 00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:37.400 blue, purple. And remember we said avoid the white food. Proper nutrition 371 00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:42.920 is eating all the colors. Get your fruits and veggies, don't juice, 372 00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:47.279 get all the fiber. So you get all your fruits and veggies, get 373 00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:52.839 all your different colors, and stay away from the white food. Okay, 374 00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:59.720 Oh, organic, you want to buy organic, especially in America, all 375 00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:05.079 the foods are sprayed with all these chemicals, these herbicides, pesticides, round 376 00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:09.319 up. I mean that's been linked to cancer, autoimmune disease. You know, 377 00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:12.599 we got to get rid of all these chemicals. So you have to 378 00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:17.079 buy organic. If you know you don't have enough money or organic and you 379 00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:21.839 need to save a few bucks, buy organic. And the stuff that you 380 00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:25.519 eat the skin the peel, like a strawberries and blueberries and apples and grapes. 381 00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:31.039 The stuff that you don't eat the peel bananas, avocado, watermelon, 382 00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:36.559 canal, low ponydew, oranges. That you can get away with not having 383 00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:40.319 as much organic because you're not going to get as much chemicals and sprays into 384 00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:45.119 the fruits and the veggies there all right, but if you're eating the peel, 385 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:49.400 make sure you buy organic. You gotta pay that extra money, you 386 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.519 know, take it away from something else that's unhealthy. But it's super important, 387 00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:58.359 especially in America, to buy organic and your meats too, you know, 388 00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:05.839 don't get these conventional burgers and steaks and chicken and turkey. Get organic 389 00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:14.760 so they're not have these chickens and eggs full of hormones and different antibiotics and 390 00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:20.480 steroids. And you know you got to have good healthy animal products if you 391 00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:24.639 eat that, So get organic, get grass fed meat, get wild fish. 392 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:30.280 That's the best way to eat. Spend that extra money. There's nothing 393 00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:35.199 more important than your health, So spend your money on your health. Pee 394 00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:37.280 protein. Everyone thinks, you know you need so much protein, protein, 395 00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:42.440 protein, protein protein. You're gonna get your protein all right. Most people 396 00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:45.880 in America, we have so much food just in our vegetables enough, there's 397 00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:49.880 enough protein there. But you don't have to eat a lot of meat. 398 00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:52.199 You know, I put patrons that are vegetarians. They get plenty of protein. 399 00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:55.760 Right. You don't have to count the protein. If you want to 400 00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.480 have protein shakes you like to exercise, don't get way protein that's really bad, 401 00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:05.960 or rice protein or milk protein. Just get vegetable protein. Pea protein's 402 00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:09.079 the best. So if you're gonna get a protein shake, get a pea 403 00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:16.639 protein shake. That's the best way to do it. So for a protein, 404 00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:22.920 you know, you don't have to count your carbs versus your fats, 405 00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:27.639 versus your proteins. All you have to do is keep it real simple, 406 00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:35.559 where you eat all the colors of the rainbow and you avoid all the white 407 00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:39.119 foods. Okay, but you get actually proteins and spinach. You don't need 408 00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:45.480 to eat a lot of meat to get a lot of protein. All right. 409 00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:50.559 That's the best news is that you could do all your protein in just 410 00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:52.480 your vegetables. You don't have it. But if you are going to eat 411 00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:58.519 the meat that is, we said, make sure you buy organic. All 412 00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:04.199 right, So don't eat you know, this crappy meat. If you eat 413 00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:09.079 meat that's full of drugs, then you're taking the drugs. If you eat 414 00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:16.000 a cow that's anxious, then you're gonna be anxious. If you eat a 415 00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:19.599 cow that's depressed, you're going to be depressed. If you eat a cow 416 00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.800 that's not getting exercise, you're gonna get you know, fat and weak. 417 00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:28.679 So you are what you eat. So by organic, buy healthy foods. 418 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:32.960 That's how you get good nutrition for your protein. If you don't eat meat, 419 00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:37.000 you can get it from nuts and seeds plenty of protein and beans and 420 00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:42.800 lentils and you know, peas and stuff like that. Okay, all right, 421 00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:45.960 que cursed tin. That's a good way to boost your immune system. 422 00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:52.360 So when we're coming into flu season, we're worried about covid. If you 423 00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:55.239 start getting the sniffles or something. Curse tin is a good supplement that has 424 00:36:55.320 --> 00:37:01.440 many great health benefits including immune system, inflammation, cardiovascular health, to even 425 00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:07.519 avoid some allergy symptoms. So that is one of the best supplements you could 426 00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:15.760 take to boost your immune system for flue season. That's Q for cursitin Okay. 427 00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:21.760 Now, yet our radiation, so there's so much radiation in the world, 428 00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:28.559 from our microwave ovens, to the cell phone radiation, to all these 429 00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:34.519 X rays and cat scans and pet scans. So much radiation. Now we 430 00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:43.400 have these wireless earplugs, those earphones that we use that are wireless, they 431 00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:47.000 have radiation too. So it's better to use the wire headphones if you need 432 00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:52.360 to use the music or you want to talk on the phone. But don't 433 00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:57.679 use those bluetooth wireless headpieces. It's too much radiation. We have so much 434 00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:01.119 radiation. Going into Starbucks, you're getting radiated, you know, go to 435 00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:04.920 the airport, you get ready, go to the dentist, you get radiated. 436 00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:07.280 The cell phone, the Wi Fi is the five G towers. There's 437 00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:14.760 radiation everywhere. And we're volunteering doing let's do all these X rays and catscans 438 00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:16.719 and pet scans, and a lot of doctors are doing it. And they 439 00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:21.599 even do radiation to kill cancer and stuff, and that kills all these other 440 00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:25.800 healthy tissues as well. So don't microwave and stand right next to the microwave. 441 00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:30.239 The radiation kills all your food. You don't need microwave ovens. Nobody 442 00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:34.119 should have a microwave oven. We have convection ovens, and we got these 443 00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:37.400 toaster ovens, and you got the air fryers. You have all these ways, 444 00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:43.000 easy quick ways to cook your food fast. So it's not you have 445 00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:46.599 to wait hours to cook. So you can use a regular toaster oven to 446 00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:51.079 bake, to broil, to toast, to warm it up, to heat 447 00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:53.360 it up. You don't need microwaves. Get rid of the microwaves. The 448 00:38:53.480 --> 00:39:00.000 radiation denature's everything. It kills the food. Gets rid of the nutritional value, 449 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:04.840 kills water. You know, radiation is really bad. Stay away from 450 00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:07.199 the microphone, Stay away from your cell phone. Don't put your cell phone 451 00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:12.760 near your head, don't put it in your front pocket while the Wi Fi 452 00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:16.000 is on and near five g's on. Anytime your cell phone is on, 453 00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:23.159 you turn on airplane mode to reduce radiation. Okay, more when we come 454 00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:30.719 back from the break.

Welcome back 465 00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:28.519 to boost your brain power. I'm your host, Doctor Eric Kaplan. We're 466 00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:35.480 up to s stomach acid. Many people take Tom's rollays. They take these 467 00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:40.440 n acids because they have acid reflux or gird difficulties, sleeping, stuff like 468 00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:45.840 that. So we do not like and acids. Those cause a lot of 469 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:50.639 trouble because your stomach acid is the way you absorb your nutrients. It's the 470 00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:54.599 way you fight bad stuff for your immune system. So you know, when 471 00:40:54.679 --> 00:41:00.159 you have less stomach acid, you're more likely to get viruses or boutia. 472 00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:07.000 When you have less stomach acid, you're more likely to have digestive problems ibs 473 00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:13.559 ulcerat of colitis, Chrohn's disease. A lot of these are because you don't 474 00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:16.360 have enough stomach acid and you're not absorbing your nutrients. You're not breaking down 475 00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:21.639 the bad stuff. We can check to see your stomach acid by looking at 476 00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:27.639 blood work. So many people with anemia, iron anemia, B twelve anemia, 477 00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:32.679 folate anemia has nothing to do with not eating foods or taking supplementation or 478 00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:36.760 being a vegetarian. It has to do with absorption. And you don't have 479 00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:40.079 enough stomach acid, and that could be because you don't have enough vagus nerve 480 00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:44.800 activation. So we definitely want to, you know, make sure your stomach 481 00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:47.199 acid is in order. So if you have digestive problems, we need to 482 00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:51.599 analyze that. And I'm gonna go over in a few minutes on how to 483 00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:57.239 analyze that. T twenty one straight days to rewire the brain and a process 484 00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:01.079 called neuroplasticity. You've got to create a habit of twenty one days. So 485 00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:05.559 if you want to get rid of coffee, you got to get rid of 486 00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:07.840 it for twenty one straight days. You want to get in a good exercise 487 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:12.079 routine, you gotta do it for twenty one straight days. You want to 488 00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:16.000 start doing brain exercise every day, you gotta do it for twenty one straight 489 00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:20.400 days. You want to get good effects of not having drey, you gotta 490 00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:23.039 do it for twenty one straight days. That is the magic number. Do 491 00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:28.840 things, get these good habits for twenty one straight days. Then you could 492 00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:31.559 slack off a little bit. Because you've rewired your brain. You're creating a 493 00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:35.800 long term effect there. So when you have a goal, let's say, 494 00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:37.920 hey, I want to start exercising every day, do it for that first 495 00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:42.400 twenty one straight days. Now your brain gets used to it. Now your 496 00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:45.440 brain likes it, now it requires it. Then you could take off a 497 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:49.480 little bit. It's not going to be a big deal, but do it 498 00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:57.199 for twenty one straight days. You underactive brain that can cause depression, low 499 00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:00.840 motivation, lack of focus, or it could be an overactive brain that could 500 00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:07.280 create insolomnia, anxiety, the mind's racing, so we have to figure out 501 00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:10.440 which side of the brain is underactive and which side is overactive. The best 502 00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:15.239 test to figure that out, it's called a VNG video and nostography that will 503 00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:20.599 literally tell us which areas of the brain are underactive that needs stimulation, and 504 00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:24.840 which areas are overactive. It's a non invasive test, no radiation. It 505 00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:29.840 takes about ten to fifteen minutes to do. You wear these infrared goggles that 506 00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:34.320 measure your eye movements and can tell us which areas need to be stimulated and 507 00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:38.559 which areas need to be relaxed. That test is normally five hundred dollars, 508 00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:42.760 but we're going to do a special for my listeners. For the first seven 509 00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:45.960 people that call text or email, you could get this VNG test to tell 510 00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:52.440 you if your brain is underactive or overactive for only twenty one dollars. Right 511 00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:55.239 instead of paying the normal five hundred, you only have to pay twenty one 512 00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:59.480 dollars. All you have to do is call our text or email. The 513 00:43:59.559 --> 00:44:02.760 number is six four six two two one six seven three eight, or you 514 00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:09.079 can email info at kaplanbraininbody dot com tell them you want to sign up for 515 00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:15.320 the VNG brain test to figure out if we're underactive or overactive. You want 516 00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:19.320 to be one of the first seven people to call to get it for only 517 00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:24.239 twenty one dollars. All right, let's go to v so V. We 518 00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:31.559 have what's called viruses, bacteria, allergies, parasites. These can actually get 519 00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:36.840 into your system and attack your brain. Now, how are you going to 520 00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:44.400 know if that is happening. One way to do it is called a qEEG 521 00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:46.920 brain mapping, So that will literally tell us if there was a past history 522 00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:52.840 of some pathology, if you have white matter inflammation caused by these attacks, 523 00:44:52.880 --> 00:45:00.960 if you have intestinal problems. This qee G brain mapping literally tells everything. 524 00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:06.079 Do you have depression, do you have anxiety? Do you have insomnia? 525 00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:08.440 Do you have troubles with memory? Do you have troubles shifting? Tests you 526 00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:13.679 have anger? Do you have aggression? Do you have short term memory, 527 00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:17.360 long term memory loss? Do you have a concussion, heavy metals a pathology? 528 00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:21.920 Like I said, do you have these viruses attacking you? So the 529 00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:27.800 best test to see your overall brain function and if you do have a bacteria 530 00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.519 that's attacking your brain, it's going to tell us which areas of the brain 531 00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:36.920 are most damaged. That's the qEEG brain mapping. Okay. It will literally 532 00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:40.199 break down all the different areas of your brain, the frontal cortex, the 533 00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:45.039 parietal cortex, the temporal the cerebellum, the brain stem. So it tells 534 00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:50.239 us, hey, what's going on in your brain by measuring all the different 535 00:45:50.360 --> 00:45:53.360 brain waves, the alpha, the beta, the theta, the delta. 536 00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:57.519 All you have to do is where this cap looks like a swimmer's cap. 537 00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:00.840 Again, non invasive, no radiation at all, takes only about fifteen minutes 538 00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:05.639 to do. And what we do is you measure all these brain waves and 539 00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:09.039 it could tell us where your brain problems are coming from. Do you have 540 00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:15.719 low dopamine, low acidocoline? Do you have prouble with sleep deprivation? Do 541 00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:22.719 you have trouble with shifting tasks? You have sensory issues, ringing in the 542 00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:28.519 ears, you have headaches and dizzyness and balance problems. It breaks down everything. 543 00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:31.280 This is the best non invasive test you can do. I highly recommend 544 00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:37.360 it. It's called a QEG brain mapping. It's normally five hundred dollars, 545 00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:39.960 but for the first seven people to call, text or email you could get 546 00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:47.280 the QEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. Caller text six four six 547 00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:53.599 two two one sixty seven three eight, or you can email info at Kaplinbrain 548 00:46:53.599 --> 00:47:00.920 and Body dot com. W you want to wire your brain in a process 549 00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:07.119 called neuroplasticity. When we rewire the brain, we could create new connections. 550 00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:13.400 So neuroplasticity is training your brain. And you could do that through eye exercises, 551 00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:17.239 through lights and smells and sounds. You do through balanced exercises and memory 552 00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:22.480 exercises. Just like you could go to the gym and exercise your muscles, 553 00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:29.719 you could do brain exercises. That's called neuroplasticity. But we have to figure 554 00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:34.320 out which areas of the brain need the most work. That's why you do 555 00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:38.280 the tests. You do the q e G brain mapping, You could do 556 00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:42.800 the VNG, and you can also do a one on one test with me, 557 00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:46.119 a one on test with me. I'm gonna check your memory, your 558 00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:51.480 balance, your reflexes, your senses. We're gonna check out your eyes, 559 00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:55.559 how you respond to lights and sounds and different movements. So we want to 560 00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:59.840 do a full analysis. And I can even go over your blood work. 561 00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:04.840 I can go over your VNG and your qEEG your history, your health goals. 562 00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:08.559 It's a one on one evaluation with me that takes about forty five minutes. 563 00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:13.480 If you want to figure out which areas of the brain you need to 564 00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:16.000 rewire, which areas need work. Is it your gut, do you have 565 00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:19.800 inflammation, Do you need to work on your posture? Do you need eye 566 00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:23.760 exercises, do you need breathing exercises, memory exercises? So we want to 567 00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:29.719 do a full evaluation forty five minutes one on one with me. It normally 568 00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:34.320 costs five hundred dollars, but we're doing it special for the first seven people 569 00:48:34.320 --> 00:48:37.800 that call, text or email. You can get this for only twenty one 570 00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:42.960 dollars and you could do all three tests. You could do the QEG for 571 00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:45.400 twenty one dollars, you could do the VNG for twenty one dollars, and 572 00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:50.320 you could do the one on one with me for only twenty one dollars. 573 00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:54.519 All you have to do is call or text six four six two two one 574 00:48:54.800 --> 00:49:00.559 six seven three eight, or you can email info at kapland dot com. 575 00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:07.159 Take advantage of this offer because it's only for the first seven people. We 576 00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:10.000 want to avoid the X rays. That's the X so we do these tests 577 00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:15.719 that have no radiation. So we want to calm down your nervous system if 578 00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:22.119 it's overactive. One way to calm down and overactive nervous system to reduce stress 579 00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:25.239 and anxiety, to help with sleep, help you focus or your mind's not 580 00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:30.880 raising so you're not in stress mode, is to do the Y exercises yawning, 581 00:49:34.119 --> 00:49:40.719 yodling, hodally, yelling, Aha, stimulate that vegus nerve. That's 582 00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:44.719 the V the vegus nerve, So the V and Y. We want to 583 00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:47.039 do the vegus nerve. We want to gargle. We want to do a 584 00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:52.360 gag reflex that helps to relax a stressed out nervous system. So we could 585 00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:55.159 do gargling, we could do gag, we could do yodeling, we could 586 00:49:55.159 --> 00:50:00.599 do yelling, we can do yawning. All good to calm down nervous system 587 00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:05.679 that's in stress mode. And finally we got z that's for zinc.
