Speaker 1: The following is a paid podcast. iHeartRadio's hosting of this
Speaker 1: podcast constitutes neither an endorsement of the products offered or
Speaker 1: the ideas expressed.
Speaker 2: Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
Speaker 2: is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to Boosh your
Speaker 2: brain power. A lot of my patients come to me
Speaker 2: with high stress, anxiety, panic, worry, the minds raising a
Speaker 2: million miles per hour. They can't sleep, they wake up
Speaker 2: all stressed out. Their cortisol levels are high. They can
Speaker 2: lose the weight, so everything is overactive. Even their muscles
Speaker 2: are in spasm, their joints are inmplained. Their immune system
Speaker 2: can be overactive. It's called autoimmune disease. So when the
Speaker 2: brain's overactive, the immune system becomes overactive, and it starts
Speaker 2: attacking your thyroid and can create hashimotos, and it can
Speaker 2: attack your joints, creating rheumatoid arthritis, your gut causing silliac disease,
Speaker 2: or your brain causing MSS or pain all over calling
Speaker 2: fibromyalgia or skin problems or hair problems like psoriasis or
Speaker 2: lupis exima. These are all autommune diseases because the brain
Speaker 2: is overactive. When the brain is overactive, we need to
Speaker 2: calm it down. It's not rocket science. Most people's brains
Speaker 2: are overactive. They're in stress mode. And what the worst
Speaker 2: thing to do is to have a stimulant. So a
Speaker 2: lot of people who have anxiety or difficulty sleeping actually
Speaker 2: drink coffee or have energy drinks, or eat a lot
Speaker 2: of sugar. These are all stimulants, and the stimulants will
Speaker 2: increase an overactive brain. So, if you do have anxiety,
Speaker 2: difficulty sleeping, stress, panic, ADHD, the going you get distracted,
Speaker 2: can't focus, you can't think, you have negative rumination. We
Speaker 2: got to calm down your brain. And the good news
Speaker 2: is there's a process called neuroplasticity where you could actually
Speaker 2: rewire your brain to get it in a more relaxed state.
Speaker 2: And what that means instead of being in the fighter
Speaker 2: flight mode, you're in a more relaxed rest and digest state.
Speaker 2: And so that means we need to actually strengthen what's
Speaker 2: called your parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system is
Speaker 2: going to get you in a more relaxed state. There's
Speaker 2: four nerves that you can activate that's going to relax
Speaker 2: your brain to reduce your stress and get you out
Speaker 2: of that fighter flight mode into a calm, relaxed, rest
Speaker 2: and deyes state. So the four nerves that are going
Speaker 2: to relax your nervous system, it's called the ocular motor nerve,
Speaker 2: the facial nerve, the glossopharyngeal nerve, and the vegas nerve.
Speaker 2: Now you don't have to memorize them because I'll explain
Speaker 2: to what each these nerves dick. So the ocular motor
Speaker 2: is your eye exercises. There's lots of eye exercises that
Speaker 2: you could do to strengthen this cranial nerve number three
Speaker 2: called the ocular motor nerve. Now, you could do a
Speaker 2: few things such as near far exercises, brock string exercises,
Speaker 2: no no yes yes exercises, microscods, visual pursuits, vestibular ocular reflexes,
Speaker 2: optokinetic I exercises. There's all these different eye exercises and
Speaker 2: they could be applied different ways to stimulate the ocular
Speaker 2: mode or nerve to get you out of that stress mode.
Speaker 2: So the eyes are very important to heal the brain.
Speaker 2: The eyes are the only part of the brain we
Speaker 2: can actually see, right, I can't see your brain. I
Speaker 2: can't see your spinal cord. I can't see your central
Speaker 2: nervous system. I can't see your peripherle nerves. We can't
Speaker 2: see any of that part of the nervous system. But
Speaker 2: the eyes we can actually see. So we could diagnose
Speaker 2: and treat lots of conditions through the eyes, and not
Speaker 2: just for the brain. You can actually tell if there's
Speaker 2: a liver problem by looking at your eyes, if they
Speaker 2: become yellow or jaundice. You could tell if there's a
Speaker 2: hard problem. You can actually look inside the eyes and
Speaker 2: look at the red arteries and the veins and look
Speaker 2: at the size of them and see, you know, is
Speaker 2: there increased tension or pressure. You can see if there's
Speaker 2: issues with increase pressure, you know, like a tumor or
Speaker 2: something like that. You could see how the circulation is going.
Speaker 2: You could see so many things through the eyes. The
Speaker 2: eyes are the window into the brain and the nervous system.
Speaker 2: So in our offices in New York and New Jersey,
Speaker 2: we do lots of eye exercises but specific to the
Speaker 2: weak areas, and we can use eyes to stimulate different
Speaker 2: areas of the brain. The one we're talking about now,
Speaker 2: it's called the ocular motor nerve, and there's different specific
Speaker 2: exercise that can strengthen that nerve to increase input into
Speaker 2: your parasympathetic nervous system to get you out of that
Speaker 2: stress mode into a calm relax So that's cranal nerve three.
Speaker 2: That's the first of four nerves that will relax your
Speaker 2: nervous system. The second nerve is called the facial nerve,
Speaker 2: and that's pretty self explanatory. It innervates your face. So
Speaker 2: we could do different sensory types of stimulation, motor types
Speaker 2: of stimulation. Even the ear rubbing on what's called your
Speaker 2: tragus will stimulate the facial nerve. The optic blink reflex
Speaker 2: where you blow air into the eye to elicit a
Speaker 2: blink that actually stimulates the facial nerve. Taste sweet sour,
Speaker 2: salty on the tip of the tongue actually activates the
Speaker 2: facial nerve. So we can do sensory motor We could
Speaker 2: work on the ear, the eyes, the tongue all to
Speaker 2: stimulate this facial nerve, just like you could go to
Speaker 2: the gym and do weight lifting and bicep curls. I
Speaker 2: am a functional neurologist and a brain expert who teaches
Speaker 2: you neurologic exercises that you could do to improve your
Speaker 2: brain function. Now, don't come to me if you want medication,
Speaker 2: if you want a xanax, if you want anti anxiety antidepressants,
Speaker 2: Alexa pro, if you want lithium, if you want all
Speaker 2: these horrible drugs that have lots of side effects that
Speaker 2: shut off your brain. We don't want to shut off
Speaker 2: your brain. All we want to do is relax the
Speaker 2: overactive areas of the brain. But the areas of the
Speaker 2: brain that are working well, we don't want to shut
Speaker 2: those off. So when you take those medications to reduce
Speaker 2: your anxiety, you might be reducing your anxiety or depression,
Speaker 2: but you're also shutting off the good parts of your
Speaker 2: brain that create happiness and joy and love and passion
Speaker 2: and energy. You don't want to be walking around like
Speaker 2: a zombie. So if you want to actually get to
Speaker 2: the root cause of your neurological condition, if you're sick
Speaker 2: of hiding symptoms with medication, then this is the show
Speaker 2: for you. We are the people that are gonna help
Speaker 2: you out. All our offices in New Jersey, New York.
Speaker 2: If you're far away, we do virtual visits, resume or
Speaker 2: phase time or whats that We are here for you
Speaker 2: to teach you exercises you could do to calm down
Speaker 2: your stressed out brain, to reduce anxiety, reduce your cordis
Speaker 2: all your stress hormone, Get better sleep, get rid of
Speaker 2: that fatigue, improve brain function, no more brain fog, because
Speaker 2: we want to get your nervous system in a relaxed state.
Speaker 2: All right, So we got the oculo motor cranial nerve three,
Speaker 2: that's the first nerve, the facial nerve, cranial nerve seven
Speaker 2: that's the second nerve. Now the third nerve that you
Speaker 2: could activate to relax your nervous system. It's called the
Speaker 2: glosso pharyngeal nerve. The glosso for angel is basically your
Speaker 2: tongue and your back of your throat like your palate.
Speaker 2: You can activate that with the gag reflex. So you
Speaker 2: get your toothbrush, get a tongue depressed, or go all
Speaker 2: the way to back of your throat and hit the
Speaker 2: back of the throat, not to the point where you
Speaker 2: throw up, but where you will listen a gag, like
Speaker 2: a big gag reflex that will stimulate this glosso pharyngeal nerve.
Speaker 2: You could also do taste bitter in the back of
Speaker 2: the tongue. If you put bitter in the back of
Speaker 2: the tongue, that also activates cranial nerve nine, the glosso
Speaker 2: fyryngeal nerve, which is gonna get you in a relaxed state.
Speaker 2: And to get better, you could do dark chocolate, you
Speaker 2: could do some bitter herbs, you could do coffee grinds.
Speaker 2: Don't swallow it, but just hold it in the back
Speaker 2: of your tongue for thirty seconds and then spit it out.
Speaker 2: That will literally activate this glosso pharyngeal nerve, which gets
Speaker 2: you in a more relaxed state. And the fourth nerve
Speaker 2: that gets you in a relaxed state is the vagus nerve,
Speaker 2: the vague nerve. You can stimulate by gargling really intensely
Speaker 2: for thirty seconds. You could do a big swallow, get
Speaker 2: a bunch of saliva on your tongue, and just do
Speaker 2: one big goff ball swallow. Imagine a golf ball that
Speaker 2: you're swallowing. Make a loud sound, different humming sounds, different
Speaker 2: animal noises, different tongue noises, anything with the back of
Speaker 2: your throat, screaming, coughing, sneezing something where you use your
Speaker 2: mouth throat make different noises. That's going to help with
Speaker 2: your vegus nerve. All right, So those are the four
Speaker 2: nerves part of your parasympathetic nervous system that are going
Speaker 2: to relax your brain get you out of that stress mode.
Speaker 2: So we got the oculo motor, the facial, the glossal
Speaker 2: far angel, and the vegas. And if you activate all
Speaker 2: four of those nerves together and you do them for
Speaker 2: thirty seconds, three times a day, for twenty one straight days,
Speaker 2: you start to rewire your brain in a process called
Speaker 2: neuroplasticity to get you out of that stress mode, that
Speaker 2: fight or flight mode, into a relaxed rest and digest.
Speaker 2: When you're in that fighter flight mode, it could cause
Speaker 2: high blood pressure, it could lead to cancer, cause diabetes
Speaker 2: from the pancreas, digestive problems from your esophagus and your
Speaker 2: stomach and your intestines. It could cause acid reflux, gas stritus,
Speaker 2: also a rate of colitis, ibs, urinary urgency, urinary incontinence,
Speaker 2: a rectile dysfunction, hormonal issues, period issues, menstrual issues, fertility issues.
Speaker 2: All of this can be affected by you being in
Speaker 2: stress mode. So it doesn't just cause muscle tension and
Speaker 2: spasm and back pain, but actually affects your organs. So
Speaker 2: if you want to really have the highest quality of life,
Speaker 2: start working on your parasympathetic nervous system so you fuck
Speaker 2: function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
Speaker 2: is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
Speaker 2: brain power more when we come back from the break.
Speaker 3: If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches,
Speaker 3: brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your
Speaker 3: human potential and prevent future diseases, that this is the
Speaker 3: show for you. Don't misboost your brain power with doctor
Speaker 3: Eric Caplan and you will learn natural, integrative, and holistic
Speaker 3: approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism,
Speaker 3: add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four posture pain, TBI,
Speaker 3: skin and digestive problems. Doctor Caplan is most famous for
Speaker 3: getting to the root cause of a wide variety of
Speaker 3: brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional,
Speaker 3: meta and risky surgeries. To contact the doctor Kamplin. You
Speaker 3: can call his team that two are one two six
Speaker 3: one two one five zero or visit his website at
Speaker 3: kaplindc dot com. Function better, feel better and live a
Speaker 3: better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening
Speaker 3: to boost your brain power. A lot of our patients
Speaker 3: come for help with their brain. A specific part of
Speaker 3: the brain that is very common is the frontal cortex.
Speaker 3: When the frontal cortex has an imbalance from left to right,
Speaker 3: we can see a variety of symptoms. For example, a
Speaker 3: lot of the childhood developmental delays come from a functional
Speaker 3: disconnect of the frontal cortext that includes autism, Aspergers, dyslexia,
Speaker 3: add ADHD Turet's syndrome. These are these developmental delays and
Speaker 3: a lot of the times it's because there's an imbalance
Speaker 3: of the frontal cortex. So just like you could strengthen
Speaker 3: your muscle by working out, doing weightlifting exercising, you could
Speaker 3: actually fix your brain that's underdeveloped by doing neurological treatments.
Speaker 3: So there's a process called neuroplasticity where you could rewire
Speaker 3: the brain through neurologic exercises. But if it's one of
Speaker 3: these conditions, we'd have to be very specific for that
Speaker 3: frontal cortex, and the frontal cortex is activated with a
Speaker 3: lot of different types of brain exercises. What's called ciccads,
Speaker 3: which are fast eye movements, is really good for the
Speaker 3: frontal cortex, little finger movements, smell you know, these are
Speaker 3: all really good for the frontal core. But if you
Speaker 3: have a developmental delay such as autism, where the brain's underdeveloped,
Speaker 3: before you even work on the motor and the sensory aspect,
Speaker 3: you have to work on what's called primitive reflexes. Primitive
Speaker 3: reflexes with autism kids or add or ADHD, or dyslexia
Speaker 3: or turets. Basically, what happens is you have these reflexes
Speaker 3: that are supposed to be gone after one year of
Speaker 3: each but with children with these developmental delays, these primitive
Speaker 3: reflexes are retained. So the first step is to catch
Speaker 3: up the brain to development is to do these neurologic
Speaker 3: exercises which get rid of or eliminate these primitive reflexes.
Speaker 3: Now the brain can develop properly. The problem is the
Speaker 3: modern approach seems to be okay, let's do speech pathology,
Speaker 3: occupational therapy, physical therapy, behavioral therapy.
Speaker 2: So, but that's the third stage. You have to do
Speaker 2: the primitive reflexes first. Then you can do the motor
Speaker 2: and sensory second, and then third would be the cognitive,
Speaker 2: the behavioral, the speech. So you know, you have to
Speaker 2: do that in the correct order or the brain will
Speaker 2: not ever function on the way it's supposed to. But
Speaker 2: the good news is if you do it in the
Speaker 2: appropriate way primitive reflexes first, motor, sensory second, and then cognitive, behavioral, speech, physical, third,
Speaker 2: then it starts to work much better. All right. Now,
Speaker 2: other things that can happen with the frontal cortex are
Speaker 2: anxiety and depression. And when you have depression, that means
Speaker 2: your frontal cortex is underactive, and when you have anxiety
Speaker 2: that means your frontal cortex is overactive. And you might
Speaker 2: have both. It's like a bi polar or manic depressant.
Speaker 2: So we have one side underactive and one side overactive.
Speaker 2: Stick around for the end of the show and I'll
Speaker 2: tell you what you could do about that. Now, when
Speaker 2: you have these imbalances of the frontal cortex, you're going
Speaker 2: to have areas that are underactive that need to be stimulated. Right,
Speaker 2: So if you have depression, we need to strengthen your
Speaker 2: brain activate it, you know, especially right now in December,
Speaker 2: it's a very common time for seasonal affect disorder SAD,
Speaker 2: and that's where people get depressed in the winter because
Speaker 2: they're vitamin D deficient. If you want a good Vitamin
Speaker 2: D recommendation, please email me info at Kaplanbrain Imbody dot com.
Speaker 2: Ninety nine percent of the vitamin d's out there are crap.
Speaker 2: Don't go to CBS or Whole Foods or Vitamin Chop
Speaker 2: or GNC to get a vitamin D. That is crap.
Speaker 2: They're full of impurities, they don't get absorbed, they're contaminants.
Speaker 2: We don't want those fillers, okay, So don't ever get
Speaker 2: a vitamin D at the store, right. If you want
Speaker 2: the good one, just email me right. Very important during
Speaker 2: the winter. I personally take ten thousand on you during
Speaker 2: the winter and fat five thousand during the summer. Everybody's
Speaker 2: vitamin D. To fishing in the Northeast, you know, it's
Speaker 2: and even when you're outside, you gotta wearing the hat, glasses,
Speaker 2: your long sleeves, long pans, everything's covered. There's not a
Speaker 2: lot of skin exposure, all right, so we sometimes we
Speaker 2: need to supplement if there's deficiency, but most people over supplement.
Speaker 2: So you don't need all these multi vitamins. You don't
Speaker 2: want to take B twelve and vitamin C and zinc
Speaker 2: and magnesium and calcium. It's no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: Stop taking all the vitamins. Only only take vitamin is
Speaker 2: if you have evidence that you're decreased in it in
Speaker 2: your blood work and you know that there's no other
Speaker 2: reason that you are a decreased. For example, you don't
Speaker 2: want to take iron because you're anemic. You might be
Speaker 2: anemic because you don't have enough stomach acid. Right. You
Speaker 2: don't want to take melatonin because you can sleep. Maybe
Speaker 2: you can't sleep because your sympathetic nervous system is over firing. Right,
Speaker 2: So you gotta be careful with what you take. You
Speaker 2: need analysis of your blood work done properly so you
Speaker 2: could figure out what exactly you're deficient in, what you need,
Speaker 2: what you need more of? Do you need to drink
Speaker 2: more water? Do you need to get more sunlight? You
Speaker 2: need to eat these different foods to avoid these foods.
Speaker 2: Do you have too much inflammation? You have poor absorption?
Speaker 2: You need more bacteria. Whatever it is, we gotta do
Speaker 2: a thorough investigation. Don't just take supplements because something you
Speaker 2: read is good for you. Everybody's an individual. Most people
Speaker 2: are taking way too many supplements. You should only have
Speaker 2: to take a supplement is absolutely necessary. That's the vitamin
Speaker 2: D is pretty much the only one I take, right.
Speaker 2: And you know most people also need probiotics because you know,
Speaker 2: they're always taking antibiotics, and they're taking antibacterial lotions and
Speaker 2: antibacterial sprays and antibacterial soaps, and then I mean everything's antibacterial.
Speaker 2: That's not good. I'm probiotics. I like pro bacteria. Body
Speaker 2: is mostly bacteria, right, So that's seasonal affect disorder. When
Speaker 2: your frontal cortex is weak, you don't need lexapro lithium.
Speaker 2: You don't need all these medications. Maybe you just need
Speaker 2: some more sunlight, some more exercise, some progression in your life.
Speaker 2: Make progression in your life. That's the key to depression
Speaker 2: is progression, all right, And sometimes you can get depressed,
Speaker 2: like my wife just lost her father. She's depressed, she's crying.
Speaker 2: Then her doctor's like, oh, take some antidepressants. I'm like,
Speaker 2: what you're supposed to be depressed when you lose your father,
Speaker 2: You're supposed to cry, You're supposed to be sad, feel
Speaker 2: those emotions, Let those tears out of your body, and
Speaker 2: I'm just there for he. Just give her a hug
Speaker 2: and say anything that's gonna make her feel better. No
Speaker 2: magic word that gets rid of, you know, a depression
Speaker 2: from losing a loved one. Then she's got to make
Speaker 2: progression in her life, make progression in her relationships, make
Speaker 2: progression in her health, working out how much water she drinks.
Speaker 2: Then she starts to feel better about herself, getting more socials,
Speaker 2: getting out in the real world, helping others do in charity.
Speaker 2: That's how you get out of a depression. Now. The
Speaker 2: opposite is the anxiety, right, that's the overactive frontal cortex,
Speaker 2: all right, that's where people have the eight hdther. Their
Speaker 2: mind's going so fast they can't get those thoughts out
Speaker 2: of their head. They always get worried, They fear and anger.
Speaker 2: It's overactive. You gotta calm it down. Easy way to
Speaker 2: calm down your overactive nervous system is to do figure
Speaker 2: eight infinity symbols. You do that for thirty seconds, three
Speaker 2: times a day. That has been proven through neurosigns. To
Speaker 2: reduce anxiety. Make sure you keep your arms straight and
Speaker 2: cross over the middle of the body, middle of the body.
Speaker 2: Drawing figure eights thirty seconds, three times a day. Very
Speaker 2: good for anxiety. Now what else? Helpings in the frontal cortex.
Speaker 2: That's where dementia starts, frontal temporal dementia. You don't want dementia.
Speaker 2: You better start doing frontal cortex exercises. You better start
Speaker 2: doing smell. If you lost your smell from covid or
Speaker 2: from the vaccine, this is an issue. You're gonna have
Speaker 2: a weak frontal cortex if you lost it from smoking
Speaker 2: or drugs. You gotta work on that. You gotta rewire
Speaker 2: your brain. It mean your frontal cortex is weak. You
Speaker 2: gotta really work on that. You gotta prevent dementia. So
Speaker 2: to bred dementia, you gotta do novelty, new things. You
Speaker 2: gotta stimulate your brain purposely. Start remembering your grocery list,
Speaker 2: remember people's phone numbers, remember addresses. Start learning different languages,
Speaker 2: learning a musical instrument, learning different dance moves. You gotta
Speaker 2: meet new people, go to new places. Novelty is the
Speaker 2: key if you want to prevent Alzheimer's In dementia, which
Speaker 2: starts from your frontal cortex, you better start doing new things.
Speaker 2: You better be uncomfortable. You better go out of your
Speaker 2: daily routine and do new things that your body's not
Speaker 2: used to doing. Start eating with your left hand, start
Speaker 2: playing a new sport, taking out a new hobby, joining
Speaker 2: a new club. You have to do new things. You're
Speaker 2: gonna challenge your brain. And then you've got to feed
Speaker 2: it all the energy it needs. The sunlight, the oxygen,
Speaker 2: the water, the food. Give the brain the fuel delivery
Speaker 2: it needs to reach optimal potential. Parkinson's disease also occurs
Speaker 2: in the frontal cortex. But we could pick this up
Speaker 2: early on and look at your gate and see if
Speaker 2: your arms swinging properly, or how your facial expressions are,
Speaker 2: or how your pupil size is, or how your balance is,
Speaker 2: how your posture is, how your gut motility is. All right,
Speaker 2: we can analyze the brain and the body to figure
Speaker 2: out if you're predisposed to Parkinson's, which usually starts in
Speaker 2: that frontal cortex. Same thing with Alzheimer's, same thing with dementia,
Speaker 2: anxiety depression autism add ADHD to dyslexia, aspergers to rats
Speaker 2: that all starts from the frontal cortex, so we have
Speaker 2: to make sure we take care of our brains so
Speaker 2: we function better, feel better, and live a better life.

Speaker 3: for more information.
Speaker 2: Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
Speaker 2: is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your
Speaker 2: brain power. Now, a lot of people have different types
Speaker 2: of brain problems. Some people have what's called proprioceptive issues
Speaker 2: that comes from your parietal cortext of your brain. And
Speaker 2: we can analyze the parietal cortext by doing different types
Speaker 2: of tests. One of the tests is called uh graphesthesia,
Speaker 2: and I used to do this as a kid. Actually
Speaker 2: know is a neurologic test. But where you would draw
Speaker 2: different letters on your back or draw different numbers and
Speaker 2: you'd have to say, okay, what letter that was the
Speaker 2: letter B or that was the letter M. That is
Speaker 2: measuring your propioception, your sensory input. That's actually a good
Speaker 2: neurologic exercise. So you could do that with your friends
Speaker 2: and family and say, Okay, I'm gonna draw a letter
Speaker 2: on your back. You tell me what letter it is,
Speaker 2: or I'm gonna draw it on your arm or your leg,
Speaker 2: and you tell me what letter it is. And if
Speaker 2: you're inaccurate, that means that area of your brain is weak.
Speaker 2: Now I am a brain expert, and what I do
Speaker 2: is analyze the brain and if I find a weak area,
Speaker 2: I could actually give you neurologic exercises to strengthen it.
Speaker 2: Think of me like a physical therapist, but for the brain.
Speaker 2: So if we have these sensory issues, we have to
Speaker 2: do sensory different types of input. Okay, So graphesthesia is
Speaker 2: one neurologic exercise to test your parietal core text. Another
Speaker 2: exercise is called graphstigia. Right, so we got graphstigia's number one.
Speaker 2: And the other exercise it's called stereoagnosis stereognosis. The second
Speaker 2: exercise is where you have to identify certain things. So
Speaker 2: you could take like a pencil, a pen, a highlighter,
Speaker 2: a cran, a marker, and you put it all in
Speaker 2: the you know, a hat, and then you put your
Speaker 2: hand in the hat and you pick one of them
Speaker 2: out and you say, okay, that's the cran and then
Speaker 2: you put that back in up and you pick another
Speaker 2: one that's the pencil. So you feel it, You feel
Speaker 2: the eraser, you feel the wood, the little metal thing,
Speaker 2: and then when you feel the pen you feel like
Speaker 2: the little cap and the little thing on the edge,
Speaker 2: the little button that you press. And so you use
Speaker 2: your hands, use your sensory input. Or you could do
Speaker 2: it with ball as you play a baseball, a golf ball,
Speaker 2: a tennis ball, all rocketball a softball, and then you
Speaker 2: gotta pick up this one's a little bit smaller, and
Speaker 2: it's got those little rough edges up. This one's a
Speaker 2: little fuzzy. This one's harder, this one's more rubbery. So
Speaker 2: so then you can identify or different materials conton and
Speaker 2: silk and polyester and wool, and you use your hands
Speaker 2: to feel. Use your senses. We don't use our senses
Speaker 2: enough anymore. Gotta start using You gotta exercise your brain
Speaker 2: like you exercise your muscle, So exercise your touch, exercise
Speaker 2: your smell. How many times you do smelling exercises. If
Speaker 2: you want to improve your smell, you gotta do smelling exercises.
Speaker 2: It's not rocket science. If you want to improve your vision,
Speaker 2: you have to do vision exercises. You want to improve
Speaker 2: your hearing, you have to do hearing exercises. It's not
Speaker 2: rocket science. But no, nobody does vision exercises. They just
Speaker 2: keep buying glasses. Well, if you start doing vision exercises,
Speaker 2: you could actually take off your glasses and you won't
Speaker 2: need to use them anymore. The best eye exercise is
Speaker 2: called a brock string eye exercise. We have those that
Speaker 2: off at our office. You can just email me info
Speaker 2: at kaplombrainobody dot com. I'll tell you how to get those.
Speaker 2: Those are the best. They can literally improve your near
Speaker 2: vision and your far vision. You can get rid of
Speaker 2: your reading glasses, and you can get rid of your
Speaker 2: distance glasses. You get rid of your bifocals, you get
Speaker 2: rid of your contacts. I used to wear glasses one
Speaker 2: hundred percent of the day. Now i wear it ten
Speaker 2: percent of the day because I'm exercising my eyes and
Speaker 2: do my brock string exercises, do smell exercises. When your
Speaker 2: smell gets better, then every of the food's more enjoyed.
Speaker 2: Your brain works at a higher level. Smells very important,
Speaker 2: and the way to exercise your smell is to peanut
Speaker 2: butter is actually a great smell test. That's what a
Speaker 2: lot of doctors use. See how far away can I
Speaker 2: hold the peanut butter jar away from my nose and
Speaker 2: still smell it? So you're strengthening same thing with your hearing.
Speaker 2: How far away you know, can I put the speaker
Speaker 2: and still hear it? How low can I put the
Speaker 2: sound on the speaker and I can still hear it?
Speaker 2: And you want to strengthen your hearing, how far can
Speaker 2: I stand away and still read. You want to strengthen
Speaker 2: your eyes, but you got to exercise it. You want
Speaker 2: to prove your memory, you gotta do memory exercises. You
Speaker 2: want to improve your posture, you gotta do posture exercises.
Speaker 2: We want to prove our sensory input, our parietal cortex,
Speaker 2: our parropial seption. We gotta do sense exercises. The touch
Speaker 2: exercise is a great sensory exercise. So you just think, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna touch the second crease of my ring finger,
Speaker 2: and then you try and touch it with your eyes closed.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna touch the outer edge of my right nostril
Speaker 2: and then try and touch it with your eyes closed.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try and touch the my wedding ring, or
Speaker 2: my watch, or my necklace, or you know, something very specific,
Speaker 2: right the very outer edge of my eyebrow, my beauty
Speaker 2: mark on my left arm. And then if you you know,
Speaker 2: open up your eyes and you see that you missed
Speaker 2: it by an inch, then you start over and you
Speaker 2: try it again. It's for your proprioception, and if your
Speaker 2: propial oceptions off, you might confuse your lefts and rights.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows. Somebody they always confuse their lefts and the rights.
Speaker 2: That means their parietal cortex is not working. Guess what
Speaker 2: if you strengthen your brain through a process called neuroplasticity,
Speaker 2: and you rewire your parietal cortex, you will not confuse
Speaker 2: your lefts and rights anymore. You'll not get out of
Speaker 2: the subway, not know which way's north, which way south,
Speaker 2: which way's east west, where are you? Or you're bumping
Speaker 2: into things. That's also people with their parietal cortex not working.
Speaker 2: They're very clumsy. They're dropping things, they're knocking things over,
Speaker 2: they're bumping into the couch. It's really bad at night.
Speaker 2: That means you have poor paropial sception. You could do
Speaker 2: an eye exercise for that. They're called visual pursuits, which
Speaker 2: is just slow eye exercise. Just hold a pen in
Speaker 2: front of you and you slowly go left to right
Speaker 2: and just follow it. Very good for your parietal cortex.
Speaker 2: And we said you could do the graph hosthesia with
Speaker 2: the different numbers, the stereognosis touching the different balls or
Speaker 2: the pens. Now you got the touch tests, you got
Speaker 2: the visual pursuits. There's so many neurologic exercise I got
Speaker 2: thousands of exercises. I'm like a physical therapist but for
Speaker 2: your brain. But we got to figure out which area
Speaker 2: of your brain is weak. One of the best tests
Speaker 2: to let us know which areas of the brains are weak.
Speaker 2: It's called a q EEG brain mapping. This is where
Speaker 2: you wear a cap. It sort of looked like a
Speaker 2: swimmer's cap, but it's got electrodes attached to it, and
Speaker 2: it measures all the different areas of your brain. Your
Speaker 2: frontal cortex, the parietal, temporal, the excip but the cerebellum.
Speaker 2: It tells us, Okay, do you have depression, Do you
Speaker 2: have anxiety? Do you have troubles with focus, motivation, organization planning?
Speaker 2: Do you have sensory issues, balance problems, headaches, dizzyness? Do
Speaker 2: you have heavy metal poisoning? Do you have a concussion.
Speaker 2: Do you have a pathology. Do you have low dopamine,
Speaker 2: low acedo coling? Do you have heavy metal poisoning, sleep deprivation?
Speaker 2: Do you have insomnia? Do you have difficulties shifting tasks?
Speaker 2: It literally breaks down all the different areas of the brain,
Speaker 2: all the different memory, short term memory, long term memory,
Speaker 2: working memory, sequential memory. It literally breaks it down, all
Speaker 2: the verbal the speech. This test is amazing. It's non invasive,
Speaker 2: there's no radiation at all. You don't have to sit
Speaker 2: in some small tube. It measures your alpha brain waves,
Speaker 2: which is you know how we normally are. It measures
Speaker 2: your beta brain waves, which when you really focus and
Speaker 2: think and study and present something at work or you know,
Speaker 2: you gotta read a book or whatever it is. That's
Speaker 2: the beta that measures your theta. That's when you're in
Speaker 2: daydreaming mode, you're looking at the window, you're sitting in
Speaker 2: the woods, you're listening to the bird or in la
Speaker 2: la land. That's when sometimes we come up with creative ideas.
Speaker 2: You think of these new things uh these uh ingeing
Speaker 2: it and ideas, and it's like the theata makes us
Speaker 2: really come up with stuff that we normally wouldn't think of.
Speaker 2: And then the delta that's when you got to relax.
Speaker 2: That's when you're in sleeping and that's when everything's come right.
Speaker 2: So the qEEG brain mapping measures all these different brain waves,
Speaker 2: and based on the ab normal brain waves and the
Speaker 2: location of where we find these abnormal brainwaves, we can
Speaker 2: literally say which area the brains are functioning at the
Speaker 2: highest levels and which areas of the brain are not functioning,
Speaker 2: then we could come up with a diagnosis and a
Speaker 2: recommendation on neurologic exercises are habits you could do to
Speaker 2: increase input. Now, don't come to me if you want
Speaker 2: some pill, some drugs, some medication, some IV, some herb,
Speaker 2: some supplement. You know that's not what I do. I'm
Speaker 2: the doctor that teaches you how to fix your own
Speaker 2: brain by finding your weaknesses and teaching your process is
Speaker 2: called neuroplastics to rewire your brain to connect those weak
Speaker 2: areas so you could function at the highest level. Your
Speaker 2: brain is the most important organ. It controls everything. It
Speaker 2: controls your blood pressure, it controls diabetes, your digestion, your energy,
Speaker 2: your hormones, your sleep, your mood, your balance. Everything's controlled
Speaker 2: by your brain. So you have to analyze it so
Speaker 2: you know what you could do to prevent future problems.
Speaker 2: Don't wait till their bed to start working on them.
Speaker 2: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Now,
Speaker 2: this qEEG brain mapping test is normally five hundred dollars,
Speaker 2: but for the first seven people to call, text or email,
Speaker 2: you can literally get this qEEG brain mapping for only
Speaker 2: twenty one dollars. The number is six four six two
Speaker 2: two one six seven three eight. The email is info
Speaker 2: at caplinbrainebody dot com. Again you have to be one
Speaker 2: of the first seven people. Just say you want to
Speaker 2: be the twenty one dollars qEEG brain Mapping from the
Speaker 2: Boost Your Brain Power Radio show. The phone number is
Speaker 2: six four six two two one six seven three eight,
Speaker 2: or you can email info at kaplanbrainebody dot com. Because
Speaker 2: you want to function better, feel better and live a
Speaker 2: better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening
Speaker 2: to Boost your brain Power.
Speaker 3: If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches,
Speaker 3: brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your
Speaker 3: human potential and prevent future diseases that this is the
Speaker 3: show for you. Don't miss Boost your Brain Power with
Speaker 3: Doctor Eric Kaplan and you will learn natural, integrative and
Speaker 3: holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's,
Speaker 3: Parkinson's stroke, autism, a concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines,
Speaker 3: four posture pain, TBI, skin, and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplin
Speaker 3: is most famous for getting to the root cause of
Speaker 3: a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than
Speaker 3: treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To contact
Speaker 3: the doctor Kamplin, you can call his team at two
Speaker 3: O one two six one two one five zero or
Speaker 3: visit his website at kaplindc dot com.
Speaker 2: Function better, feel better and live a better life. This
Speaker 2: is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
Speaker 2: brain power. Now, we see a lot of people with
Speaker 2: different neurological disorders, and one of the most common areas
Speaker 2: of brain disfunction comes from the cerebellum. Now, the cerebellum
Speaker 2: has more neurons in it than the whole brain put together.
Speaker 2: And it's this little part of the brain that it
Speaker 2: comes sort of in the back of your neck. But
Speaker 2: it's the director. It's the conductor of the whole orchestra,
Speaker 2: and it's telling everybody what to do. It's telling your
Speaker 2: body to move had a thing kind of coordinate out
Speaker 2: of balance, how to make sure everything gets done properly.
Speaker 2: It's it's making sure you don't go too fast, too slow,
Speaker 2: too high, too low, too left, too right. It's getting
Speaker 2: everything balanced and coordinated. And without it, we'd be falling
Speaker 2: down all the time, wouldn't be able to walk. And
Speaker 2: that's what makes us human is that we're bipedal. Right,
Speaker 2: we can use our hands to create instruments and tools
Speaker 2: and technology and fire and hunt and gather and do
Speaker 2: all this stuff that has made us human and separated
Speaker 2: us from all the other species. Right, because they're all
Speaker 2: on four right, everyone's basically on four limbs, we're the
Speaker 2: ones that are totally upright, and that's considered the highest
Speaker 2: evolutionary standard. Fortunately, due to the technology, we're reversing instead
Speaker 2: of becoming upright, we're all coming hunched over. And when
Speaker 2: you're hunched over, your brain doesn't work right. Right. Somebody's depressed,
Speaker 2: they're all slouched down. Someone who's energetic and happy, they're upright,
Speaker 2: their chins up right. So your posture is directly related
Speaker 2: to your brain function, and your balance is directly related
Speaker 2: to your cerebellum. That's why when you drink alcohol, that's
Speaker 2: the first area of your brain that's affected because it
Speaker 2: requires the most oxygen, the most blood flow, the most
Speaker 2: brain cells all comes from this cerebellum. So when you
Speaker 2: get pulled over and they think you're drunk driving. All
Speaker 2: those neurologic tests that the police are doing are for
Speaker 2: your cerebellum. And say, oh, you know, walk a straight
Speaker 2: line and staying on one leg and touch your nose.
Speaker 2: Those those are all sarahbellar tests, right, So if you
Speaker 2: can't put your hand out and touch your nose accurately,
Speaker 2: that means that your sarahbellum is off. Or if you
Speaker 2: can't stand on one leg, that means your cerebellum's off. Now,
Speaker 2: if you miss your nose with your right hand really
Speaker 2: bad and you can stand on your right leg, then
Speaker 2: that probably means that your right cerebellum is decreased in function.
Speaker 2: And you can actually increase your right cerebellum by spinning.
Speaker 2: If you just have one of those office chairs and
Speaker 2: you spin to the right, that stimulates your right cerebellum.
Speaker 2: Pretty cool. It's just a brain exercise. It's not rocket science. Oh,
Speaker 2: I can't stand on my right leg, I can't touch
Speaker 2: my right nose. My right cerebellum must be off. Let
Speaker 2: me do an logic exercise to stimulate my right cerebellum.
Speaker 2: And wow, now I could stand on my right leg,
Speaker 2: And now I could touch my nose with my right hand.
Speaker 2: Then you know that your neurologic exercise improved. Just do
Speaker 2: a little science experiment, but you gotta actually challenge you
Speaker 2: gotta do a brain exercise. Just like you could exercise
Speaker 2: your muscle if it's weak, you could exercise your brain
Speaker 2: if it's weak. And spinning in a chair activate your cerebellum.
Speaker 2: Pretty cool stuff, right, Also another exercise that increases input
Speaker 2: into your cerebellum, and everyone could try this at home
Speaker 2: is where you do and this will be for your
Speaker 2: left cerebellum. We'll try this one. You take your left
Speaker 2: leg and draw clockwise circles and then with your left
Speaker 2: hand draw the number six. That's gonna activate your cerebellum.
Speaker 2: Gotta coordinate. Standing on a soft cushion works your cerebellum
Speaker 2: your balance. Falls are the number one cause of accidents
Speaker 2: in every single age group except fifteen to twenty one
Speaker 2: year old men, that is car accidents. But other than
Speaker 2: that age group, everyone else. Falls are the number one
Speaker 2: cause of accidents. They cause concussions. Oh my god, here
Speaker 2: sees so many concussions and traumatic brain injuries, and a
Speaker 2: lot of people who have brain fog, memory depression, anxiety,
Speaker 2: focus problems. It comes from times they hit their head
Speaker 2: years ago. Just because you got hit in the head
Speaker 2: ten years ago doesn't mean it's not affecting your brain now.
Speaker 2: Sometimes Alzheimer's takes forty years to develop. But you don't
Speaker 2: want to wait till your memory starts going before you
Speaker 2: start working on your brain. Just like you brush your
Speaker 2: teeth every day and take care of your teeth, start
Speaker 2: exercising your brain every day, whether it's drawing that circle
Speaker 2: with the number SI, trying to balance on one leg,
Speaker 2: trying to coordinate your hand to your nose, doing smelling exercises,
Speaker 2: vision exercises, memory exercises. We have to challenge our brain.
Speaker 2: Your brain's like a muscle. You'll use it or you
Speaker 2: lose it. People understand going to the gym and exercising
Speaker 2: every day, or going for a walk every day, But
Speaker 2: when I tell them they got to exercise their brain
Speaker 2: every day, it's just a paradigm shit. But if you
Speaker 2: think about it, what's more important your brain or your teeth.
Speaker 2: But you're committed to brushing your teeth every day for
Speaker 2: your whole entire life, start being committed to exercising their
Speaker 2: brain every day for your whole entire life. If you
Speaker 2: want your brain to be strong and healthy, if you
Speaker 2: want to end up like everybody else with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's,
Speaker 2: that's the ninety nine percent of Americans. Don't be like them.
Speaker 2: Be the one percent whose memory gets better as they
Speaker 2: get older, whose vision improves as they get older. You
Speaker 2: can be that one percent. Your posture can improve as
Speaker 2: you get older, you can get more energy, your bones
Speaker 2: can get stronger, your muscles can get stronger. You just
Speaker 2: have to do the work. Do not believe the lie
Speaker 2: that your brain and body get worse as you get older.
Speaker 2: That's the biggest lie you've ever been told in your life.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's because you're not doing the things you're supposed
Speaker 2: to be doing to improve your health and increase brain
Speaker 2: function through a process called neuroplasticity to make your areas
Speaker 2: of the brain stronger and function at the highest level possible.
Speaker 2: But you have to figure out which areas of the
Speaker 2: brain are weak, which areas are underactive, which areas are overactive.
Speaker 2: The best tests to determine which areas are underactive and
Speaker 2: which areas are overactive. It's called a VNG Video nostography,
Speaker 2: and this is a test where you wear these cool goggles.
Speaker 2: They got infrared cameras on them that measure your eye
Speaker 2: movements that go left and right and up and down
Speaker 2: and in light and dark and with head turns and
Speaker 2: fast and slow, and we measure all the different ways
Speaker 2: your brain works. It's non evasive, there's no radiation, you
Speaker 2: don't have to sit in some small tube, there's no
Speaker 2: contrast fluid. It's super quick. It only takes about ten
Speaker 2: to fifteen minutes. And it's diagnostic of how your brain
Speaker 2: is functioning. If your brain's overactive, you know, you might
Speaker 2: suffer from like ADHD, anxiety, might worry, might have difficulty sleeping,
Speaker 2: You might have heartpower petations, high blood pressure, might have
Speaker 2: difficulty losing weight, might have panic attacks. Right, that's if
Speaker 2: you're OVERACTI. If you're underactive, might have fatigue, depression, poor
Speaker 2: focused brain fog, low motivation, poor metabolism, constipation, poor bladder control, fatigue. Right,
Speaker 2: So the vng's gonna pick that up. It's normally five
Speaker 2: hundred dollars, but we're gonna give a gift all the
Speaker 2: listeners for the first seven people to call text or
Speaker 2: email you could get this VNG. Instead of paying the
Speaker 2: normal five hundred dollars, you could get it for only
Speaker 2: twenty one dollars. Just caller text six four six two
Speaker 2: two one six seven three eight, or you can email
Speaker 2: info at Kaplanbrainingbody dot com. Now, another gift we're gonna
Speaker 2: give you is a one on one evaluation with me.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna check your memory, your lungs, your heart, your gut,
Speaker 2: your balance, your coordination, your muscle strength, your posture, your alignment,
Speaker 2: your eyes, your ears. We do a complete neurological and
Speaker 2: physical evaluation. It's normally five hundred dollars, but for the
Speaker 2: first seven people to call, text or email you could
Speaker 2: get the one on one for only twenty one dollars.
Speaker 2: The number again is six four six two two one
Speaker 2: six seven three eight, or you can email info at
