I'm your host, 5 00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:17.839 doctor Eric Kaplan. We're going to talk about headaches and 6 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:23.440 busyness and the best holistic, natural ways to take care 7 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:28.239 of these problems without using medicine or even you know, 8 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.399 vitamins and supplements and you know, making sure that we 9 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.439 don't cover up symptoms with pills, but actually get to 10 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.520 the root cause of the problem. Don't come to me 11 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.039 if you want prescriptions, If you just want a pill 12 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.159 to take to fix your headache, to fix your dizziness, 13 00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.479 That's not what we do. You know, if you have 14 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.119 a sleeping troubles I don't give you a sleeping pill. 15 00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:52.520 If you have anxiety, I don't give you an anti 16 00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.439 anxiety pill. But what I do is teach you how 17 00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:58.679 to get to the root cause of it and then 18 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.079 you can actually re Why are your brain in a 19 00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:05.959 process called neuroplasticity to make your brain stronger and stronger 20 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:11.359 and decrease your symptoms so you feel better, function better, 21 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.599 and have a better quality of life. Now let's go 22 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.959 over the basics first. The basic thing with headaches is hydration. 23 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.480 You gotta stay hydrated. It's basic. But you gotta do it, 24 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.359 all right. Everyone's so, I know, I gotta drink water, 25 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.000 but are you doing it? And are you doing it 26 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.040 the right way? The right way is to do it 27 00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:30.680 on an empty stomach. You don't want to drink water 28 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.519 with your meals. That's not good. That actually makes it 29 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.480 harder to digest. You always want to drink your water 30 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.879 and an empty stomach. So first thing in the morning 31 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.200 is the best time to do it. Drink two glasses 32 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.560 of water, put a pinch of pink tume lene salt 33 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.799 that's called salleet water, or you could do Celtic salt. 34 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.799 That's good too. I like to squeeze some lemon for 35 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.239 some flavor, and you do two glasses of water and 36 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.640 an empty stomach right away. It's the first thing in 37 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.239 the morning. And you want to do a half hour 38 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.280 before each meal. Remember on an empty stomach, So a 39 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.280 half hour before the meal is perfect number one. It 40 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:11.639 also lubricates the intestinal pathway to make your digested food 41 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.919 go through a lot easier. But it also prevents you 42 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:18.960 from over eating as well, helps with weight loss, helps 43 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.479 with detoxification. You know, there's nothing better than drinking water 44 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.039 on an empty stomach. But always remember to get the minerals. 45 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.319 Do the salt that helps to pull the water into 46 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.199 the cells to make sure the hydration is efficient. You know, 47 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.439 if you drink something like distilled water that doesn't have 48 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.639 the minerals, it's not going to be as good. It's 49 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.319 not gonna be utilized as properly as it would if 50 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.599 you had salt in it. You need the minerals, but 51 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:47.039 not through gatorade or pediolite or you know, other these 52 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.599 commercial types of stuff, because that's not going to be 53 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.120 healthy for you. A lot of it's sugar and food 54 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.039 dyes and artificial flavors and chemicals. So stay away from, 55 00:02:58.120 --> 00:02:59.439 you know, the stuff that you're going to get at 56 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:03.199 the convention on supermarket. So we gotta do hydration. You're 57 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.840 supposed to drink half your body weight in ounces. If 58 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.560 you weigh one hundred and fifty pounds, you gotta drink 59 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.319 seventy five ounces of water a day. You should be 60 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.199 able to drink water at the end of the night 61 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.560 and sleep throughout the whole night without having to urinate 62 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.560 if your systems are efficient. Something that actually makes you 63 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.199 urinate during the night is not drinking water at night, 64 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.800 but it's eating late at night. So the last meal 65 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.439 you want to have is four hours before bedtime. So 66 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.599 if you're going to bed at ten pm, you want 67 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.719 to be done eating by six pm. That gives you 68 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.680 four hours to fully digest your food and then you're 69 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.319 gonna have a better sleep and then you have more 70 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:47.039 energy in the morning as well. Getting back to the water, 71 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.520 half your body weight and ounces. And also what are 72 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.360 you drinking your water in. Are you drinking it in 73 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.159 a glass? Great? But is it coming out of plastic? 74 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.000 That's not good. I don't want to see plastic water 75 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.159 bottles because that leaches into the water and then you're 76 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:05.599 actually drinking plastic. It's kind of scary. You know, the 77 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.879 average American drinks about a credit card size worth a 78 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.840 plastic every year, so we don't want to be adding plastics. 79 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.680 So you drink from glass. And you can get a 80 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.000 glass water bottle to travel with, or you can get 81 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.560 a stainless steel those are the two best. So you 82 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.120 want to drink your water and glass stainless steel. Make 83 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.519 sure you got the salt of the electrolytes, Squeeze a 84 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.319 little lemon for some flavor, and you're good to go, 85 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.480 as long as you're drinking it on an empty stomach 86 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.439 and drinking happier body weight and ounces. That can help 87 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:44.959 prevent many many headaches. If you on your period, you 88 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.399 have to drink more because you're losing a lot of fluid. 89 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.560 If you work out a lot and you sweat, you 90 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:54.199 got to drink more water. Right. If you threw up 91 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:58.040 or have diarrhea, you got to drink more water, all right. 92 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.319 So it's always depending on what's going on in your 93 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:06.759 life as well, but basically half your body weight in oalysis. 94 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.279 That's part of the basics. Number two basics. Got to 95 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:14.079 stay away from the screens, stay away from the computer, 96 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.800 the iPhones, the iPads. We want to stay away from 97 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:25.279 the smart TVs, especially at night. That's very bad for 98 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:29.000 your head. So at night we want to use blue 99 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.759 light filter glasses. If you have to use the computer, 100 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:34.600 the best time to do it is in the morning 101 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.120 and in the early afternoon when the sun is out, 102 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.600 so you know, just to make sure we get our 103 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:45.879 cortisol high at the appropriate times. It's actually better to 104 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.879 use the computer in the morning and the early afternoon, 105 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.439 and then it's better to unplug in the evening. So 106 00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.560 if you have to do it for your job, get 107 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.360 it all done early during the daylight hours and during night. 108 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.800 Now you turn off the electronics. If you have to 109 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:07.319 use it at night, use your blue light filter glasses. 110 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.959 These are glasses. They look pretty orange, and what they 111 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.439 do is they filter out the blue light, which is 112 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.240 the light that is going to stimulate cortisol, which is 113 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.399 the stress hormone that's going to be no good. That 114 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.959 deposits belly fat that creates stress, anxiety, that creates adrenal fatigue, 115 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:31.519 that creates insomnia, sleep deprivation. So there's a lot of issues. 116 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.839 You know, you don't have to use a c PAP 117 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.759 because you have sleep apnea. But if you get to 118 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.319 the root cause, then you can rewire your brain and 119 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.360 then you're not treating not only with medicine or surgeries, 120 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.480 but not wearing machines either. The good thing is your 121 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.279 body can function properly. You just got to do the work. 122 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.439 My job as a functional neurologist is to teach you 123 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.519 what you need to do, but you're the one that's 124 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.759 got to go home and do it. Okay, But education 125 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.319 is key. Knowledge is power. So you have this knowledge 126 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:07.759 to be that top one percent. You don't want to 127 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.720 be like the other ninety nine percent. Right, what's the 128 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.279 other ninety nine percent doing in America? There they're waking up, 129 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:21.639 they're drinking coffee, They're going to work, stressed out. Then 130 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:26.720 they go home, eat a big dinner late at night, 131 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.639 then have a snack on the couch while watching the 132 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:36.959 news or some you know horror movie or some you 133 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:41.759 know crime, or some zombie apocalypse. You know, it's like 134 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.199 it's never good, and then they'd go in bed. That's 135 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.360 a stressful way to live. That's why I said to 136 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.800 unplug at night. You don't have any electronics at night. 137 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:56.319 It's gonna take a lot of that pressure off your head. Okay. Also, 138 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.639 people are such a sedentary lifestyle now, everybody's at the 139 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:04.920 computer all day, so you gotta take breaks. It's the 140 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.519 twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, you get up for twenty seconds, 141 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:11.040 you look twenty feet away, and then you do a 142 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.600 twenty second exercise. But it's just walking twenty feet, sitting 143 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:18.639 to standing twenty times, twenty jumping jacks, twenty push ups, 144 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.639 twenty sit ups, twenty lunges. I don't care what it is, 145 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.079 but just move that body for twenty seconds. Get off 146 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.000 that chair. You gotta get up right. Sitting is the 147 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.240 new smoking, So get up off the chair and do 148 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.440 a twenty second exercise. I don't care if it's just 149 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.120 walking to the kitchen, filling up your glass of water 150 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.600 and then coming back because you know in a half 151 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:49.080 hours lunchtime, right, that counts, But just get up and move. 152 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.240 I don't care if it's just walking around your desk 153 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:56.960 for twenty seconds, but do something right. Every twenty minutes. 154 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.159 You get up for twenty seconds, you look twenty feet, 155 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.960 do second exercise, and then you can go back to 156 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.879 work and you'll be so much more productive. You'll be 157 00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:10.519 better focused. But it'll help prevent headaches, dizziness. Those screens 158 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:14.919 are really bad for our brains. We're three dimensional. We 159 00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.919 want to see depth perception. We want to hear sounds 160 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.440 from all movements, we want to see things from all 161 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.039 over the room. We want to touch things. But the 162 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:31.000 screen takes away all of our senses. It's really unhealthy 163 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.679 for your brain. So you've got to purposely do these 164 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:41.159 things to keep your brain strong, and you'll be more 165 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.240 productive at work by taking these breaks. So we really 166 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.960 have to prevent headaches. If you already have headaches, start 167 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.559 doing some of these shoulder rolls. These are you know, 168 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:57.559 where you roll your shoulders back, look up, roll back. 169 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:00.440 I call it the wallnut. You want to a wall 170 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.480 up between your shoulder blades and your scapula. Try and 171 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.080 crack that wallnut with these big shoulder rolls looking up. 172 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.600 Very good for your posture. And if you have what's 173 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.240 called a stress headache where the muscles in the back 174 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.320 of your head are so tight and and spasm that 175 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:21.879 they're pulling on your head, that's gonna help. You might 176 00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.639 not have a good curve in your spine, so you 177 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.840 might have to take a towel, fold it in half, 178 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.919 roll it up, put it under your neck, let your 179 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.080 head lie over it to create a curve in your neck. 180 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:38.120 Many people with these stress headaches don't have a good 181 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.639 curve in their neck. They have a straight neck or 182 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.320 a military neck. And we want to have a nice 183 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.919 sea curve. So we got to get that sea curve 184 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.399 by doing the towel roll. You just lie on the ground, 185 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.559 your heads on the ground, your upper backs on the 186 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:55.159 ground and the towel is rolled up underneath your neck 187 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:59.600 to get a nice sea curve in your neck. Your 188 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:04.039 ear should be directly above your shoulder. Most people these 189 00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.759 days their ears are in front of their shoulder. It's 190 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.440 called a forward and talgia. So we don't want our 191 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.440 heads in front of our shoulders. We want our ears 192 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:19.759 right on top of the shoulder. That is proper posture. 193 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.720 So you have to work on your posture. You might 194 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.879 need to do physical therapy. You might need manipulation of 195 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:30.399 your bones. We do all that in our offices a 196 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:34.519 Caplin Brain and Body. We have one office in Bergen County, 197 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.720 New Jersey. We have another office in New York City 198 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:39.960 in the West Village in Manhattan, where we check you 199 00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:47.960 for headaches and dizziness, including stuff that is related to stress, headaches, posture, muscles, 200 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:55.320 nerve compression, skeletal misalignment, and forward and touchip more.

I'm your host, 218 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:04.039 Doctor Eric Kaplan. So if we want to prevent headaches 219 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.960 and dizziness, we have to get to the root cause 220 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:12.519 of the headaches. There's always a different cause. You know, 221 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:14.960 it's not just one cause. That's why you know, taking 222 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:16.960 a tile and al or an aspirin an abol that's 223 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:19.840 not gonna fix it because there's so many different types 224 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:22.360 of headaches. You know, it might alleviate some of the 225 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:25.799 symptoms temporarily, but then you gotta keep taking it over 226 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.399 and over and over again. It's much better to get 227 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:32.519 a permanent fix. So to get a permanent fix you 228 00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:36.639 have to understand where it's coming from. One of the 229 00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:41.440 headaches is a stress headache. That's when the muscles are 230 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:46.480 all strained and they're pulling on the back of your occiput. 231 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:54.039 For that we require physical therapy, manipulation of the bones, 232 00:13:55.159 --> 00:14:00.679 manual traction, postural therapy. There's a lot that needs to 233 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.279 be done. We can figure it out, or you can 234 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:09.440 have it's called a cervicogenic headache. That usually comes from 235 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.240 the atlas, which is the top bone in the neck 236 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:14.960 might be shifted over to the right or to the left, 237 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.080 but that can affect a lot of stuff, even the arteries, 238 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:21.519 the revertible artery, So we want to make sure that 239 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.240 that top bone in the neck which holds your head 240 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:29.480 is in the right position. Sometimes it's the oxis that's 241 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:33.159 the second bone in the neck that's you know, closely 242 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.440 related to more rotation. So a lot of people have 243 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:43.240 difficulty with rotation in their necks and they're getting headaches. 244 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:47.320 Might have an issue in that access or sometimes it's 245 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:51.279 that transition that's C seven and T one. So there's 246 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.840 all different types of the cervicogenic hennach. But we have 247 00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:57.360 to do proper evaluation, so we could figure out where 248 00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:00.320 it's coming from. We're going to give a gift at 249 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.000 the end, so just make sure you stick around. I'll 250 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:07.759 tell you about that. So besides a cervicogenic headache or 251 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:14.320 a stress headache, you can get a migraine headache. A 252 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:19.720 migraine headache will typically be behind one of your eyes. 253 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.279 It'll be really like a sharp pain behind the eye. 254 00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:29.679 There'll be light sensitivity, sometimes sound sensitivity. There might be 255 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:36.879 some nausea if it's really intense. Patients even throw up. 256 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.919 That's really intense, you gotta lie in a dark room 257 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:49.360 for twenty four hours with no lights, no sound, only 258 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.799 leaving to go to the bathroom to throw up. Those 259 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:57.960 are severe migraines. We help patients that's severe. There's actually 260 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.679 a cool technique it's called insul filtration technique where we 261 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:06.200 blow air into the ear in the middle of a 262 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.600 ten out of ten migraine and within one minute can 263 00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:13.679 reduce it to a zero out of ten. It's pretty amazing. 264 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:16.879 People come in literally even throwing up in the bathroom 265 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:23.000 with big sunglasses and big headphones to decrease any light sound. 266 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:28.559 And we take this little instrument and I blow air 267 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.320 into the ear and I have this way where this 268 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:35.879 method that we've been taught to reduce the headache pretty quickly. 269 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.320 But it's got to be at a certain angle, certain speed, 270 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:43.399 a certain amount of repetitions. It's very important, you know, 271 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.080 to do it the correct way, or else it can 272 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:48.639 actually cause more damage. We don't want to do that. 273 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.399 But when we do in the office for a migraine, 274 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.559 it has worked one hundred percent of the time. Now, 275 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.639 it won't work if it's a cervicogenic headache, it won't 276 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:04.960 work if it's a stress headache or a migraine or 277 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.000 attention headache, but it will work for a migraine. Only 278 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.559 for a migraine, all right. But it does work pretty amazingly. 279 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:15.640 There's only about I don't know, fifty to hundred people 280 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.279 that do it in the whole world actually, but it's 281 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.279 pretty cool technique. So if you ever have a migraine, 282 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.160 just call my office and we can get you in. 283 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:27.599 Literally just takes a minute, so even if you're not 284 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.279 on the schedule, we just get rid of it right away, 285 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.759 all right. So that's something to look forward to, knowing 286 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:35.720 that there's a technique out there that can get rid 287 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:38.480 of it so quickly. So you don't have to sit 288 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.880 in that dark room all day, you don't have to 289 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.160 be throwing up, you don't have to be the lights off. 290 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.519 You know, you can get rid of that migraine. Now, 291 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:49.359 that's not prevention. So most of the time I'm talking 292 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:53.119 about prevention, right, that's not prevention. That's just get getting 293 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.400 rid of the migraine on the spot. So we never 294 00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:58.839 do that if you don't actually have a migraine. But 295 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:02.519 more importantly, after we do get rid of that, okay, 296 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:05.680 we come back later and then we figure out where's 297 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:10.039 this migraine coming from. Now, migraines are caused by decrease 298 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.720 oxygen into the brain or you know, behind that eye. 299 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:16.759 How do we know we're not getting enough oxygen or 300 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.759 blood flow? You know, we do this red saturation test. 301 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.720 It's pretty cool. So it's measures, Okay, is the blood 302 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:24.920 getting to that back of that retina? And you just 303 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:27.119 literally hold a piece of paper. You can do it 304 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.400 on the computer as well, and you cover the right 305 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:32.920 eye and you say, okay, how red is it? And 306 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:36.200 then you cover the left eye. Okay, how red is it? 307 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:39.160 Keep doing that right eye, left eye, right eye, left eye, 308 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:43.039 and usually the patient will know if there's an issue. Okay, 309 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.200 this one looks a lot brighter, it looks a lot 310 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.359 more vibrant. Or sometimes they'll say, okay, this one looks 311 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:51.880 more dull. It looks like it's been through the wash 312 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.599 a few many two times, not as strong as the 313 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:58.599 other side. And then then we know, okay, one side's 314 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:01.680 not get enough oxygen and blood flow. Typically you know 315 00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:03.640 it might be the side of the migraine. It's pretty 316 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.039 common to see there. And we can also look in 317 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.880 the eyes, look at the blood vessels, and look at 318 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.599 the arteries in the veins. Eyes are so cool because 319 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:15.599 you can actually see the arteries in the veins in 320 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.039 the eyes. There's no other place where you could see 321 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:23.799 the arteries in the veins without actually cutting open the body. 322 00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:26.680 So this is pretty cool stuff. You actually look in 323 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.519 the eyes and we could see the ratio of the 324 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:34.400 veins to the arteries. And what we don't want is 325 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.640 for the veins to be twice as big as the arteries. 326 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.039 We call that a VA ratio. You don't want a 327 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:43.799 two to one VA ratio. You want a one to 328 00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:47.200 one or a five to four. But basically we just 329 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:50.119 say a one to one ratio. But if we start 330 00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:53.279 seeing the veins are blowing up. That's not good. It's 331 00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:55.519 gonna be an issue. And the blood vessels, it's too 332 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:59.240 much pressure in there. Because the veins are a little 333 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:01.920 bit more elastics, so they're more susceptible to pressure. They 334 00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.079 so they'll they'll blow up bigger than the arteries. They're 335 00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:07.559 a little bit tighter, a little bit harder to blow up. 336 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:10.000 But we can see that in the eyes. I'm gonna, 337 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:13.559 you know, help analyze that and see if that's related 338 00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:15.400 to the migraines. And then we got to take care 339 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.000 of that. We're gonna get more blood flow, more oxygen. 340 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:23.000 Sometimes we need hyperb oxygen chamber therapy. Sometimes we need, 341 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:25.759 you know, an oxygen concentrator. Sometimes we need to do 342 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.960 breathing exercises. Everybody, you know can start doing breathing exercises 343 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.160 on your own right now. Which is the best breathing 344 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.400 exercises to inhale for four seconds, hold it for seven seconds, 345 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.160 and exhale for eight seconds. And then as you do 346 00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:43.880 that and you build your lung capacity, then you start 347 00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:47.319 to count slower. So you know, you count, but keep 348 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:50.319 the ratio because you always want to exhale twice as 349 00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:54.519 long as you inhale, but as you want to progress, 350 00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:57.519 start counting slower so you can get more of an inhale, 351 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.720 more of a hold, and more of an exhale. The 352 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:04.279 more you exhale, the more carbon dioxide you get rid of. 353 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.160 If you get rid of carbon dioxide, then you're going 354 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.519 to create a less acidic environment. And all disease loves 355 00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:16.400 a cidic environment. I don't care if it's heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, 356 00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:21.680 lung disease, liver disease, kidney disease, adrenal issues, thyroid issues. 357 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:26.039 They love acidic environment. So you want to keep your 358 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:32.920 environment alkaline that while you increase oxygen and you decrease 359 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.240 carbon dioxide, and you share that carbon dioxide to the 360 00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:39.559 trees and the plants, and you know, it's a symbiotic relationship. 361 00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:44.279 We give Mother nature carbon dioxide and then they give 362 00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:49.160 us oxygen to breathe. Okay, So it's very important to 363 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:51.960 inhale for four seconds, hold it for seven seconds, and 364 00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:56.200 exhale for eight seconds. And we talked about the posture before. 365 00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:58.440 The posture is going to help you to breathe. If 366 00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:02.000 your shoulders are rolled in and your heads down, your 367 00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:05.799 lungs aren't gonna expand properly, So you gotta keep that 368 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:09.920 posture upright, keep that chin up, keep those shoulders back, 369 00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:13.200 keep those shoulders relaxed. You don't want to breathe through 370 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:18.079 your shoulders. You want to breathe through your diaphragm. Diaformatic breathing. 371 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:22.480 When you inhale, push your belly down and out like 372 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:25.640 you're a pregnant woman, and then when you exhale, it 373 00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:30.640 should come in and squeeze that carbon dioxide out. So 374 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.599 when you inhale, the belly goes down and out, when 375 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.960 you exhale comes back in right, and then you're inhaling 376 00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:43.440 for four seconds, holding it for seven seconds, exhaling for 377 00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:47.880 eight that'll also help build your core stability. You know 378 00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.920 you want to get that six pack in your abs, 379 00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:53.920 start doing a lot of these breathing exercises. Contract those 380 00:22:54.440 --> 00:23:01.920 abdominal muscles. Do that diaformatic breathing. It's very important if 381 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.680 you want to get the proper oxygen. If you have migraines, 382 00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:08.519 you know you need oxygen into that brain. Now. A 383 00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:11.799 lot of times you're getting these migraines because it's from 384 00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:16.759 your autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for constricting and 385 00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:20.759 dilating your blood vessels, and a lot of that's controlled 386 00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:23.039 by your vegus. Nerve controls your heart rate. So if 387 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:25.039 you feel these heart beats or you know, if you 388 00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.519 see that caronic pulse pressure too big, you see a 389 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:30.640 beating in the neck or a forehead and stuff like that. 390 00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:33.559 So that means, you know, if you have autonomic nervous 391 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.000 system problems because it's not pumping properly and then there's 392 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.759 too much pressure in there and we'd see that in 393 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.559 the eyes as well. But to understand that you need 394 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:44.759 a proper neurological evaluation, and a gift we're giving to 395 00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:48.279 you is a one on one evaluation with me, doctor Kaplan, 396 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.000 where we do we check your blood pressure, We check 397 00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:53.519 your pulse rate, We check your oxygen levels that listen 398 00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.680 to your lungs, your gut.

We want 435 00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:19.920 to look at the some of the least common headaches. 436 00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:23.400 Most people think about everything as being a migraine, and 437 00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:25.759 we said, migraine it's gonna be when you're not getting 438 00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:29.440 oxygen and blood flow. That's behind the eye. It's sharp 439 00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:32.920 shooting pain behind one of the eyes. You're gonna get naise, 440 00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.839 you're gonna get light sensitivity. Those are no fun. Now 441 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.039 there's a different type of headache called a tension headache. 442 00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:46.200 That's usually gonna be around the temples. And that occurs 443 00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:49.559 a lot of times when you're you know your blood 444 00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:53.279 pressure is too high. Now you get this tens and 445 00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:57.640 sometimes you feel pulsating to the beat of your heart. 446 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:00.960 Some people say, I feel like their heads squeeze. Our 447 00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:06.880 head's gonna explode. It's a tention headache, all right. Gonna 448 00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:10.960 reduce your stress levels, that's for sure. How do you 449 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:14.559 do stress levels? Got to exercise. It's gonna make your 450 00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:17.519 heart more efficient. It's not gonna have to work so hard. 451 00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:24.319 Might have to do some meditation, practice mindfulness, do those 452 00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:31.680 breathing exercises. Maybe take on taichi, some relaxation yoga type 453 00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:40.559 of technique, or some spirituality. You know, join some Buddhist 454 00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:43.640 type of group, or go out in nature. Be one 455 00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:47.440 with nature. I don't care if it's cold. Put on 456 00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:49.799 a hat and gloves and a coat and you go 457 00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:54.880 out in nature. You want to feel nature, you want 458 00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:58.079 to touch nature. You want to be out in the sun. 459 00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:01.599 You want to breathe the oxygen in the air. You 460 00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:04.400 want to hear the birds chirping, you want to look 461 00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:10.559 at the deer. Be in nature. It's very powerful for 462 00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:14.400 your brain. If you're by a beach, that's the best 463 00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:18.559 the salt water air. Putting your feet in the sand 464 00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:26.440 doesn't get more therapeutic for your brain. You got to 465 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:34.000 be in nature. Reduce your stress levels. Okay, maybe you 466 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:38.480 gotta go to bed early. If you're staying up late 467 00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:41.000 and you're on the computer and you're scrolling, and you're 468 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:43.960 on social media, and you're watching TV, and you're listening 469 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:47.000 to the news, and you're, you know, in stress mood, 470 00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:53.279 that's not good. You're not gonna good night's sleep. You 471 00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:57.599 got to be a good environment. You're The most common 472 00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:01.680 time for a heart attack or stroke is Monday morning 473 00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:09.000 because there in stress mode. Tension, headaches are early signs. 474 00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:16.240 You must intervene now and prevent future problems. Don't wait 475 00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:18.319 till you get the heart attack or a stroke to 476 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:23.319 then start working at it. It's too much damage has 477 00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:28.480 been done. You gotta prevent it. You gotta eat healthy. 478 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:32.319 What's the worst thing that's going to cause an increase 479 00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:40.880 in cholesterol and blood pressure. Dairy products, pizza, ice cream, 480 00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:48.799 cakes and cookies, pastries, this Christmas stuff. Gotta stay away 481 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.279 from it. You don't want to be like drinking milk 482 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:59.839 and eating cookies that's not good. Cereal and milk is 483 00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:04.240 not a healthy breakfast. A aagle and cream cheese is 484 00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:09.039 not a healthy breakfast. Toast and butter is not a 485 00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:14.640 healthy breakfast. A croissant with jelly is not a good breakfast. 486 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:19.440 Don't be in this breakfast mindset, and even worse, just 487 00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:25.640 having a coffee drain your adrenals. Have something healthy in 488 00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:30.279 the morning, something colorful. Start off with a fruit salad 489 00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:34.640 as an appetizer, and then and don't be in that 490 00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:37.599 breakfast mood. You could literally have a piece of grilled 491 00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:40.279 chicken for breakfast. You could have a piece of fish 492 00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:44.079 for breakfast. You don't have to have just eggs for breakfast. 493 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:47.279 I don't know why people just have to have eggs 494 00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:52.319 and bread for breakfast every day. It's ridiculous. I mean, yeah, 495 00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.200 you can have you know, eggs one day, a little 496 00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.559 piece of chicken one day, little piece of fish one day. Yeah. Fine, 497 00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.759 you can have maybe bacon one day, maybe sausage one day. 498 00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:07.440 But you know, you put in some vegetarian meals and 499 00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:10.960 more vegetarian meals where it's just the colorful fruits and 500 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.480 veggies and nuts and seeds. You know, back in the 501 00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.200 day when we were hunt together, as you weren't catching 502 00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:21.160 meat every day, so you shouldn't be eating meat every day. 503 00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:26.799 It should be a special surprise or more just like 504 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.720 a little topping, you know, for lunch of salad. You know, 505 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:34.160 it's more vegetables than anything else. And if you want to, 506 00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:39.359 you know, sprinkle a little chicken on there, fine, but 507 00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:41.480 use that as more of like a topping. That is 508 00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.599 the main course. So try and you know, reduce some 509 00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.319 of this animal consumption. The thing is too you don't 510 00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:51.920 know what's this animal going through. If you eat an 511 00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:55.319 anxious animal, you're going to become anxious. If you eat 512 00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:59.319 depressed cow, you're going to be depressed. Cows are very 513 00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:02.680 emotional sensitive. If you separate them from their family, they're 514 00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:07.559 gonna get all depressed. Then you're gonna get depressed. They 515 00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:12.799 don't exercise, it's gonna cause you to be fat. If 516 00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:16.359 these cows are fed genetically modified corn or just horrible 517 00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:23.240 diet meat, or even sometimes they feed them meat, then 518 00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:28.279 you're gonna be sick. If you were a cow that's 519 00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:32.079 full of steroids or a chicken, you're taking those steroids. 520 00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:37.160 If they're taking the antibiotics, you're taking the antibiotics. If 521 00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:40.960 you're eating an animal that's taking hormones, you're taking the hormones. 522 00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:44.000 You are what you eat. So if you eat a 523 00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:46.640 depressed cow, you'll be depressed. You eat a caw that's 524 00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:51.559 on hormones, you're taking hormones. I think these these kids 525 00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.960 are getting there a period at nine ten years old 526 00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:57.599 now because they're eating all these foods that are full 527 00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:02.680 of hormones. They don't tell you that there's a lot 528 00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.640 of poisons there. They don't tell you about. You got 529 00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:09.720 to be careful what you put in your body. I mean, 530 00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:13.799 I have one of the you know, we're getting a 531 00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:20.880 lot of patients now from you know, side effects even 532 00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:27.039 some of the covid immunizations where we're getting these burning 533 00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:31.279 mouth syndromes, We're getting these welts on their body, We're 534 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:38.880 getting these rain fogs, these chemical sensitivities, these autoimmune conditions. 535 00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:42.000 You know, we gotta be careful with what we put 536 00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:44.279 in our body. But we're helping these people get their 537 00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:49.359 lives back to normal through neuroplasticity and doing these healthy habits. 538 00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:51.839 So the good news is there's hope, but you gotta 539 00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:55.440 be careful. You know, if you have high cholesterol and 540 00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:59.799 you take lipitour, one of the side effects is the 541 00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:02.960 right So I have a lot of people coming to 542 00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.359 me with dementia. We had to get their cholesterol better 543 00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:09.039 so they don't have to take these statin drugs which 544 00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:12.519 affect their brain function. You know, we see a lot 545 00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:19.920 of people that are taking antibiotics a lot, but sometimes 546 00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:25.239 the antibiotics kill the good bacteria in your body, and 547 00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:28.480 that good bacteria is your best defense against the bad bacteria, 548 00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:31.079 and then you're more likely to be sick in the future. 549 00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:34.119 So even though it might have helped you short term, 550 00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.400 in the long term, now the gut what's called the 551 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:41.519 microbiome is depleted, and that affects the immune system. That 552 00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:45.199 affects the digestive system. More likely to get you know, 553 00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:55.079 stuff like chrome's colitis, IBS, acid reflux, gastritis, sillyac disease. 554 00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:57.280 So we see a lot of these intestinal issues, but 555 00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:00.920 some of them are caused by side effects of the medication. 556 00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:03.960 A lot of people get ant acids, you know, when 557 00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:06.920 they have acid reflux or girt. But then when you 558 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:12.440 take away the acid, now the stomach acid is depleted 559 00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.639 and they're not going to break down their nutrients and 560 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:18.719 they become anemic. And now it's like, oh, now we 561 00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:20.599 got to deal with the anemia. And so it's like, 562 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:22.599 that's why I'm dealing with anemea. We gotta get to 563 00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.719 the way, where's this anemia coming from? Is it because 564 00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:30.800 you're not eating food properly? Probably not. There's very few 565 00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:35.519 nutritional deficiencies in America. We have so much food, you know, 566 00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:37.679 we're not in these third world countries, we're not seeing 567 00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.920 you know, we get scurvy, which is that vitamin C deficiency. 568 00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:44.960 And you know, a lot of these anemias aren't because 569 00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:49.519 they're not getting enough food in their diet and nutrients 570 00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:52.719 in their diets because they're not absorbing properly. But sometimes 571 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:56.119 it's a side effect of the ant acid. Now I 572 00:35:56.199 --> 00:35:59.119 can't break down my food properly. It's also the acid 573 00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:02.960 helps to kill viruses, bacteria, yeast, So a lot of 574 00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:05.719 times when you get these other types of infections, it's 575 00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.960 because you don't have enough stomach acid. Because you take 576 00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:11.639 an acids, even over the counter tombs and rolaids and stuff. 577 00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:14.039 It's not just prescription and acid. So we're gotta be 578 00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:20.079 careful decreasing stomach acid because that can affect your absorption, 579 00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:25.559 your digestion, your immune system, your brain function, your inflammation. 580 00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:28.719 You know, there's a lot of stuff that can lead 581 00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:31.159 to So we got to be careful what type of 582 00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:35.239 medicine we put in our body, even just pain medication, 583 00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:38.840 and that's not even talking about the whole opioid epidemic 584 00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:41.960 where people get put on pain medication, you know, like 585 00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:47.599 pergistan and vicinging and these opioids that become an addicted 586 00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:52.000 issue because the brain then requires it after taking it, 587 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:55.159 and the patients like how they feel. So this opioid 588 00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:57.760 epidemic is a little bit scary. But even if you 589 00:36:57.800 --> 00:36:59.719 take this over the counter the time and all the 590 00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:02.719 eye prof in that type of stuff, the pain is 591 00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:05.679 your body telling you that something's wrong. You know. I 592 00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:08.400 play a lot of sports, so and sometimes I'll you know, 593 00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:12.320 get beat up and banged around and I'll come home like, oh, limping, 594 00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:14.199 and my wife will say, hey, you take a tile 595 00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:16.280 and all take an EBB and I'll say, no, I 596 00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:17.719 don't want to say why do you want to suffer 597 00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:21.159 with the pain? I said, because the pain is telling 598 00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:24.119 me not to bend this way, not to move that way, 599 00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:26.920 or else. I'm going to cause maybe some nerve root irritation, 600 00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:32.039 or some increased muscle spasm, or some increased bone misalignment. 601 00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:34.440 So that pain is protecting me. If I take a 602 00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:38.159 muscle relaxer, then my muscle that was tight in protection 603 00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:42.280 mode now loosens up. Now I can maybe cause more damage. 604 00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:45.039 All right, So we don't want to hide the symptoms. 605 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:48.920 Get to the root cause of the symptoms. Then if 606 00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:51.000 you get to the root cause, you can come up 607 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:56.159 with a good, holistic and integrative natural solution to function better, 608 00:37:56.599 --> 00:38:00.719 feel better, and live a better life.

In regards to headaches, sometimes there's an 627 00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:13.880 issue in the sinuses, so a lot of people get 628 00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:19.920 sinus headaches. There's four sinus points. There's two below the 629 00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:26.239 eyes and there's two above the eyebrow. Those points can 630 00:39:26.280 --> 00:39:30.639 be massaged to help alleviate some of the inflammation and 631 00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:35.239 tension there where you just kind of do circular clockwise 632 00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:40.119 counterclockwise movements on the sinus points and that helps to 633 00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:42.400 alleviate some of the pressure. Where you can do a 634 00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:45.800 nettie pot helps to flush out some of those toxins. 635 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:48.280 You can get one of you know, a local pharmacy. 636 00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:53.320 You can also, you know, make sure you reduce allergies. 637 00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:57.639 That's important for that. You got to make sure your 638 00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:03.280 diet's pretty clean. Worst foods for allergies or the white foods, 639 00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:10.519 you know, the flour, the sugar, the breads, the dairy products, 640 00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:16.039 all those grains, you know, those are not good for allergies, 641 00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:19.760 even corn, soy. Stay well from all that white stuff, 642 00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:23.800 all the grains, the rice, even the potatoes. You know, 643 00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:27.400 we got to stay away from that for allergies. Every bread, crackers, 644 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:32.519 you know, cereals, oatmeal, that type of stuff, you know, oatmeals. 645 00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:34.360 You know, we really want to stay away from that. 646 00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.519 People think that's a good healthy breakfast if you have allergies, 647 00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:42.400 something I would stay away from for sure. Also, you 648 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:45.800 could do homeopathic remedies. Homeopathic remedies have been around for 649 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:49.199 thousands of years. Those are really good. So what that 650 00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.079 is is where it's sort of what vaccines are based on. 651 00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:55.280 So like when they give you the polio vaccine, you know, 652 00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:57.320 they give you a little bit of the polio virus. 653 00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:00.480 And when they give you, you know, the measles vaccine, 654 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:03.159 it's a little bit of the measles and the chicken pox, 655 00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:05.400 and so the actually give you a little bit of 656 00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:09.559 that virus. And the idea is that your body will say, oh, okay, 657 00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:13.360 I can handle this little tiny virus and it will 658 00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:15.800 defeat it so that when you do expose to it, 659 00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:19.199 hopefully never, but if you did, now your body can 660 00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:21.920 fight it all because it recognizes this, and now we 661 00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:24.840 could continue to fight it because says, oh I beat this, 662 00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:28.840 I could do that again. So with homeopathic for allergies, 663 00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:32.440 you get these little tiny you know, microscopics amounts of 664 00:41:33.119 --> 00:41:36.079 dust and pollen and say, okay, I can handle this, 665 00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:39.280 so that when spring comes up, now I've seen palm before, 666 00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:41.840 I can handle it. Or dog hair and cat hair. 667 00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:45.239 So okay, now when I go over to my mom's 668 00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:48.440 house at Christmas and her cat's there, I don't get 669 00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:52.199 allergic because I took this homeopathic remedy. Or you know, 670 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:55.280 it's for food allergies, whether you have gluten or dairy 671 00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:58.920 or you know, the most common types of allergies that 672 00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:02.599 you could see. You know, not only from the environment, 673 00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:07.039 but you know from internally as well. You know, dust 674 00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:10.079 and mold and you know everything that the most common. 675 00:42:10.119 --> 00:42:13.320 So we have a good concoction that we recommended our office. 676 00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:16.239 You know, just contact my office about the homeopathic remedy 677 00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:18.840 and we could, you know, give you more information about 678 00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:21.239 that as well. But that would really help out the 679 00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:24.639 best with sinus type of headaches, which are either pressure 680 00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:28.679 below the eyes or above the eyebrows. So tension headaches 681 00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:32.360 are more to the temples, sinus are more in the front. 682 00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:36.880 Migraines are usually more behind the eye. Stress headaches are 683 00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:42.840 usually behind the neck. Cervicogenic headaches are usually at the neck. 684 00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:50.639 Dehydration headaches could be anywhere, So there's a lot of variety, 685 00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:52.440 but it's always good to get to the root cause 686 00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:54.760 of the headaches. There's lots of tests you could do 687 00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:57.440 to get to the root cause of the headaches. One 688 00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:01.000 of the best tests it's called the v N or 689 00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:06.000 a VOG video onestography or video oculography, And what that 690 00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:08.480 is is where we hook you up to these goggles. 691 00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:12.280 They're infrared goggles. They measure your eye movements from left 692 00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:15.280 to right, from up and down, from fast and slow, 693 00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:17.519 and with movements and with light and with allight. And 694 00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:21.360 it's really cool because we're able to analyze all the 695 00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:23.559 different areas of the brain. The eyes are the window 696 00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:26.239 into the nervous system, so we really can get Hey, 697 00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:28.840 one signe working too much is one signe working too little. 698 00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:32.639 You have issues, you know, with your frontal cortex or 699 00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:36.280 your occipital coretext or your temporal cortext or from cerebellum 700 00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:39.800 or brain stem and really kind of breaks everything down there. 701 00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:43.880 So it's a really good technology. It's normally five hundred dollars, 702 00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:46.000 but we're gonna give a gift for the first seven 703 00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:48.599 people that call text or email. You can get the 704 00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:54.280 VNG or the VOG for only twenty one dollars, and 705 00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:56.719 this is very good if you have headaches or dizzyness. 706 00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:59.480 One of the best tests you could do, and all 707 00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:01.840 you have to do is call text email six four 708 00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:06.039 six two two one six seven three eight or email 709 00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:12.599 info at kaplinbraininbody dot com. The next test that I like, 710 00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:15.639 and we're gonna give a gift with this one as well, 711 00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:21.400 is called a qEEG brain mapping, and this measures your 712 00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:25.480 brain waves and this will say, okay, how's your alpha 713 00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:28.679 brain waves and your beta and theta and delta, which 714 00:44:28.719 --> 00:44:32.280 all are responsible for different things, and it says, okay, 715 00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:35.039 what's the location where are these abnormal brain waves? And 716 00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:38.480 based on the location, it'll tell us, Hey, are you 717 00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:41.239 not getting enough blood flow into the brain. Have you 718 00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:44.679 had a concussion, have you metal poisoning? Do you have 719 00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:48.599 a thyroid problem, do you have intestinal inflammation?

It's really great technology. There's no radiation. 727 00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:18.039 All you have to do is where this cap and 728 00:45:18.079 --> 00:45:20.760 it measures all your brain waves. Only takes about fifteen 729 00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:25.719 to twenty minutes. Super easy, but super informative. It's normally 730 00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:28.320 five hundred dollars, but the gift is the first seven 731 00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:31.360 people can get it for only twenty one dollars, and 732 00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:33.320 if you want, you can sign up for all three 733 00:45:33.800 --> 00:45:38.440 the brain mapping for twenty one, the VOG for twenty one, 734 00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:41.280 and the one on one with me for only twenty 735 00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:44.239 one dollars as well. All you have to do is call, 736 00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:47.920 text or email six four six two two one six 737 00:45:48.079 --> 00:45:52.559 seven three eight or email info at Kaplan Brain and 738 00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:55.719 Body dot com and it's gonna tell us, Okay, where's 739 00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:58.480 your headaches coming from? Where's your anger coming from? 740 00:45:58.760 --> 00:45:58.800 What? 741 00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:02.320 If you have busyness? You know, dizzyness too? That's a 742 00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:04.519 you know, we see a lot of patients with disneyess. 743 00:46:04.519 --> 00:46:06.920 A lot of times it's from concussion. A lot of 744 00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:11.199 times it's related to the inner ear. You might have 745 00:46:11.239 --> 00:46:15.119 these crystals in your inner ear. That's the easiest one 746 00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:17.159 to fix for disneyness. We love when we see that. 747 00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:20.400 It's called BPPV, where this is when you turn over 748 00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:22.480 and bed and you get dizzy. We help a lot 749 00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:24.480 of patients with that. Twenty five percent of my dizziness 750 00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:27.960 patients is BPPV. So if these crystals in the inner 751 00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:30.599 ear and when you turn your head, that creates all 752 00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:32.880 this dizzeyness. What I do when you come to the 753 00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:36.400 office is move your head in a certain position, get 754 00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:39.239 rid of these crystals so they're in the area where 755 00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:43.280 they don't bother you and create these weird sensations, and 756 00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:45.000 then next time you lie down and turn your head, 757 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:47.840 you don't get dizzy anymore. Patients love it because it 758 00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:51.760 literally only takes a one time to fix. That's very rare. 759 00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:56.199 Most times when we're healing dizzeyness, it takes more than 760 00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:59.039 just one time to fix. But if it's the BPPV, 761 00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:02.960 that's the easy one, most common to fix has to 762 00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:05.599 do with these crystals. So patients love that because they 763 00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:08.400 just come in. We do this little maneuver, get rid 764 00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:11.280 of the crystals, and they get no more daiziness. All right. 765 00:47:11.320 --> 00:47:15.679 We like those very common, very easy and quick fix. 766 00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:21.239 Sometimes people get dizzyness from what's called POTS, positional orthostatic 767 00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:24.599 tachycardia syndrome. That means when you get up quickly, like 768 00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:27.400 you get very light headed, your heart heart starts beating 769 00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:31.000 really fast, and we see a lot of that. So 770 00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:33.480 we have to do these, you know, because it's a 771 00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:37.199 positional one. We have to do positional exercises. Okay, So 772 00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.559 we do brain exercise called functional neurology, and we rewire 773 00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:43.239 the brain and we do stuff where they're lying flat down, 774 00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:44.559 and then we bring them up a little bit and 775 00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:46.599 we do more brain exercise, and then we bring them 776 00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:48.119 up a little bit more, and then we do more 777 00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:50.039 exercises and then we bring up a little bit more. 778 00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:53.400 So this is for POTS. It's really cool therapy we 779 00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:55.719 do at those both of our offices, we have one 780 00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:58.239 office in Emerson, New Jersey, and one office in New 781 00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:01.239 York City in the West Village, where we help people 782 00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:05.960 with these POTS syndromes and do positional exercises and a 783 00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:10.480 lot of different eye exercises and autonomic exercises, and oxygen 784 00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:14.119 therapy and doing stuff to make your systems more efficient 785 00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:16.880 so that the blood can get up into the brain, 786 00:48:17.159 --> 00:48:20.440 so the heart doesn't have to beat so fast. All 787 00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:24.440 my solutions are natural enough. I don't use medicine. I 788 00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:26.760 don't prescribe medicine for my patient. So they're when to 789 00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:29.880 come for me for dizziness. I don't say, Okay, here's 790 00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:33.800 your antivert. You know, here's your machlazine. That's not the 791 00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:37.119 type of doctor I am. I'm a functional neurologist, different 792 00:48:37.159 --> 00:48:40.280 than a medical neurologist who's going to just write those prescriptions. 793 00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:44.000 What I'm gonna do is see where is the problem. 794 00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:48.039 Where is the dysfunction of your nervous system creating the dizziness. 795 00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:51.239 Maybe it's coming from your cerebellum and we have to 796 00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:55.079 do balance exercises. Maybe it's coming from the eyes and 797 00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:58.159 we have to do eye exercises. Maybe it's coming from 798 00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:00.679 the canals in the inner ear and we have to 799 00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:05.320 do ear exercises, or maybe we have to do eye exercises, 800 00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:09.719 ear exercises balance exercises, vestibular we have all at the 801 00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:14.119 same time. Okay, but if you sign up for those valuations, 802 00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:18.119 we'll know which one that's coming from, and then we'll 803 00:49:18.119 --> 00:49:21.960 properly diagnose you and give you a remedy that's going 804 00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:26.400 to be holistic and integrative without any surgeries. You know, 805 00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:30.079 we don't do like the briep deep brain stimulation or 806 00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:33.960 you know, we don't want to do anything invasive. As 807 00:49:33.960 --> 00:49:35.960 long as we fix the brain to get to the 808 00:49:36.039 --> 00:49:38.480 root cause, then we don't have to do all these 809 00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:43.360 you know, invasive and risky procedures there. You know, I 810 00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:48.000 think less is more, less intervention, less pills, less surgeries, 811 00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:52.239 less testing, less doctors. I think those are going to 812 00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:55.039 be the people that live the healthier life, not the 813 00:49:55.079 --> 00:49:58.519 one that sees more doctors and more medicine, but the 814 00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:02.159 ones that let the body work and heal on its own. 815 00:50:02.320 --> 00:50:04.800 So that's our philosophy at capital and brain and body. 816 00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:07.239 And that's what way you try and teach our patients 817 00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:10.159 is how to help yourself so they're not reliant on 818 00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:13.000 the system. You know, I teach my family, hey, you know, 819 00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:15.400 we might not have medicare when I get to that age. 820 00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:17.760 So I need to be healthy, so I don't need, 821 00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:23.159 you know, any hospitalization visits and medical visits and medicine payments. 822 00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:25.719 So if I take care of my body now, then 823 00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:28.760 I'll prevent future costs as well. So you invest in 824 00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:32.400 your health when you're young, and you prevent future costs 825 00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:36.239 as you get older. Because an ounce of prevention is 826 00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:38.679 worth a pound of cure. So we don't want to 827 00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:42.559 hide symptoms with medicine, but we want to get to 828 00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:46.000 the root cause of the problem and solve it in 829 00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:51.840 a way that's very low risk and high reward. Everything 830 00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:53.599 that I do with my patients, that's what I try 831 00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:58.239 and strive to be the lowest risk and the highest reward. 832 00:50:59.199 --> 00:51:03.119 That's what you always look for before making a mental decision, 833 00:51:03.199 --> 00:51:07.559 a medical decision. What's the risk and what's the reward. 834 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:12.519 This is doctor Eric Kaplan.

Doctor Kaplan 844 00:51:56.920 --> 00:51:59.159 is most famous for getting to the root cause of 845 00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:02.079 a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than 846 00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:06.159 treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries.
