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: Hello, when welcome to boost your brain power. I'm your host,
Speaker 2: doctor Eric Kaplan. We see a lot of patience with
Speaker 2: thyroid problem. The thyroid is an organ in your neck
Speaker 2: that controls your hormones, and actually it's so important. It
Speaker 2: can even lead to cancer. Many people with breast cancer,
Speaker 2: ovarian cancer, testicular cancer, stuff related to hormones can be
Speaker 2: affected by the thyroid. So if your thyroid's off, that
Speaker 2: can actually cause growths or cysts in your organs. Pretty scary.
Speaker 2: So when we look at the thyroid, we don't only
Speaker 2: want to fix the thyroid for your hormones, but we
Speaker 2: also want to fix the thyroid to prevent cancer, to
Speaker 2: prevent heart disease, depression, anxiety, headache, dizzeyess, digestive problems, skin problems,
Speaker 2: hair problems. All of these can be affected by the thyroid.
Speaker 2: So we got to analyze the thyroid. The problem is
Speaker 2: most doctors don't analyze the thyroid when they do blood work.
Speaker 2: They'll check your cholesterol and your glucose, but they rarely
Speaker 2: check the thyroid, and even if they do check the thyroid,
Speaker 2: they'll usually only check what's called your TSH. TSH is
Speaker 2: thyroid stimulating hormone. If your thyroid is underactive, the thyroid
Speaker 2: numbers for your TSH are gonna be high. I'll say
Speaker 2: that again. If your thyroid is underactive, when you do
Speaker 2: blood work, your TSH, which is thyroid stimulating hormone, is
Speaker 2: going to be too high. So it's the opposite and
Speaker 2: the reason that is if your thyroid's too low, now
Speaker 2: the brain says, ooh, I need more thyroid, so it
Speaker 2: increases SH thyroid stimulating hormone. So if it's thyroid's low,
Speaker 2: you're gonna have a high TSH. If the thyroid is high,
Speaker 2: it's overactive, you're gonna have a low TSH. Right, because
Speaker 2: if the thyroid's overactive, then the brain says stop stimulating
Speaker 2: thyroid hormones and it goes down, so your TSH will decrease. Now,
Speaker 2: if they do check your blood work and the TSH
Speaker 2: is high, they're gonna give you medication for hypo thyroidism.
Speaker 2: And if the medication, I'm sorry. If the thyroid TSH
Speaker 2: numbers are low, they're gonna give you medication for hyper thyroid.
Speaker 2: That's all they care about. Is the thyroid underactive or
Speaker 2: is the thyroid overactive. Now, most people, it's very common
Speaker 2: to have an underactive thyroid. So the majority of thyroid
Speaker 2: patients we see are underactive. And when they're underactive, right,
Speaker 2: the doctor is gonna give medication to increase the thyroid. Right.
Speaker 2: So if it's underactive, right, your TSH is gonna be high,
Speaker 2: and then they're gonna give you medication to increase input
Speaker 2: into the thigh whord, thereby bringing down the TSH numbers. Now,
Speaker 2: what happens is sometimes the medication overworks, and that is
Speaker 2: going to cause your hypothyroid condition turn into a hyper
Speaker 2: thyroid condition, and that is harder to fix. It's easy
Speaker 2: to fix a natural low thyroid. It's harder to fix
Speaker 2: a thyroid problem induced by medication, and that goes for
Speaker 2: most medications. Parkinson's disease is much easier to fix than
Speaker 2: a tardive dyskinesia, which is a movement disorder caused by
Speaker 2: Parkinson's medication. So Parkinson's medication, which is supposed to stop
Speaker 2: your tremor, actually as a side effect called a tardive dyskinesia,
Speaker 2: which creates more trummers than other body parts, which might
Speaker 2: be your head, or your neck, or your lips, which
Speaker 2: could be worse than the trumor in your hand. Sometimes
Speaker 2: the cure is worse than the condition. In my opinion,
Speaker 2: Instead of treating the condition with pills, medications, supplements, herbs ivs,
Speaker 2: I think it's better to get to the root cause
Speaker 2: of the problem. With Parkinson's, the root cause is a
Speaker 2: part of your brain called the basil ganglia, So we
Speaker 2: want to focus all our attention into stimulating the basil ganglia.
Speaker 2: With a thyroid problem, we gotta dig a little bit deeper.
Speaker 2: It's not so easy as Oh, if the thch is low,
Speaker 2: it's hyper. If the thch just high, it's a hype.
Speaker 2: Both thyroid, we gotta dig a little bit deeper. And
Speaker 2: the way to dig deeper is to do a full
Speaker 2: thyroid panel in your blood work, which most importantly it
Speaker 2: includes antibodies. I've been in practice for over twenty years.
Speaker 2: The majority of thyroid problems are actually not from the thyroid.
Speaker 2: They're actually autoimmune diseases. Now, the way we can figure
Speaker 2: that is by doing the full panel, and if the
Speaker 2: antibodies are too high, then it's an autoimmune disease. Now,
Speaker 2: if the antibodies are too high and your TSH is
Speaker 2: low and your T three four and T four are high,
Speaker 2: that means we have a Graves thyroiditis. So Graves is
Speaker 2: an autoimmune disease of a hyper thyroid. Now, if the
Speaker 2: TSH is high, T three and T four are low,
Speaker 2: antibodies are high, then most likely we have a Hashimoto's
Speaker 2: thyroid diatis. Both Graves disease and Hashimotoves disease are autoimmune
Speaker 2: thyroid diseases. Graves is just a hyper thyroid and Hashimotos
Speaker 2: is a hypothyroid. But the deal is, if you have
Speaker 2: autoimmune disease, you should not be treating the thyroid. That's
Speaker 2: very important because ninety percent of the cases I've seen
Speaker 2: are autoimmune disease. Most thyroid conditions actually aren't a thyroid condition,
Speaker 2: but they're an issue in your immune system because your
Speaker 2: autoimmune disease is overpowering the thyroid, So your own immune
Speaker 2: system is attacking the thyroid. It's pretty scary. But guess
Speaker 2: what if your autoimmune disease attacking the thyroid, it's also
Speaker 2: going to attack your gut. That's why a lot of
Speaker 2: people with thyroid problems have digestive problems. It's gonna attack
Speaker 2: your hair and your skin. That's why a lot of
Speaker 2: people thyroid problems have hair or skin problems. It's gonna
Speaker 2: attack your brain. That's why a lot of people with
Speaker 2: autoimmune disease have brain fog or anxiety or depression. So
Speaker 2: when they say you have hashimotos, they're just labeling your
Speaker 2: autoimmune disease to the thyroid. But there's no way your
Speaker 2: immune system just attacks the thyroid and that's the only
Speaker 2: organ it's gonna attack. When you have autoimmune disease, it
Speaker 2: affects your whole body. Siliac disease is an autoimmune it
Speaker 2: does not just attack your gut. That's why people with
Speaker 2: siliac or gluten sensitivities will have fatigue, they'll have skin problems,
Speaker 2: love sleeping problems. They'll have digestive problems, they'll have respiratory problems,
Speaker 2: love brain fog, they'll have troubles with anxiety, depression. It's
Speaker 2: not just digestive problems. Okay, So that's a big thing
Speaker 2: to remember is that when you have autoimmune disease, it's
Speaker 2: not gonna be localized to just one area, right, So
Speaker 2: if you've been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, that's an autoimmune disease.
Speaker 2: It's not just gonna be in your joints. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be everywhere. But how do you know if you have
Speaker 2: autoimmune disease? You have to do blood work. So for
Speaker 2: the thyroid, you gotta check your antibodies. UH, for rheumatoid arthritis,
Speaker 2: you gotta check your ra factor. For lupus, you gotta
Speaker 2: check your ANA. You know, each autoimmune disease, whether it's chogrins, MS, fibromyalgia, IBS,
Speaker 2: sooriatic arthritis, hashimotos, gravees, siliac multiple sclerosis X AMOUNT, these
Speaker 2: are all autoimmune conditions. So we have to do testing
Speaker 2: to figure out is the body attacking itself, So we
Speaker 2: could check antibodies. You don also analyze the brain. Most
Speaker 2: people with auto imune problems have an autonomic nervous system dysfunction,
Speaker 2: meaning the brain is in stress mode. It's overactive, it's overfiring.
Speaker 2: So when the brain starts overfiring, guess what, then your
Speaker 2: immune system starts overfiring. Now, sometimes the thyroid problem cannot
Speaker 2: be from a thyroid problem, which is a primary issue
Speaker 2: and it's not a secondary issue from the autoimmune disease
Speaker 2: such as graves or hashimotos, but sometimes it's coming from
Speaker 2: the petuitary. And when we analyze blood work, we can
Speaker 2: see is it hypo, is it hyper is it graves,
Speaker 2: is it hatos, is it autoimmune? Is it from the petuitary,
Speaker 2: is it primary? Is it secondary? But we gotta do
Speaker 2: a full panel because when you analyze the thyroid, based
Speaker 2: on which type of thyroid you have, it's going to
Speaker 2: treat a different condition. So when we are taking care
Speaker 2: of pituitary issues with the thyroid, that's a completely different
Speaker 2: type of treatment than if we're treating grapes and that's
Speaker 2: a completely different type of treatment. If we're treating hashimotives,
Speaker 2: and that's a different type of treatment. If we're treating
Speaker 2: a primary or a secondary, So each one is different.
Speaker 2: For some we might need to do brain exercises, Others
Speaker 2: we might need to do herbal remedies. Others we might
Speaker 2: need to do nutritional changes. Others we might need to
Speaker 2: do some eye exercises, or some laser therapy or some
Speaker 2: oxygen therapy. So there's all different types of therapy based
Speaker 2: on the type of thyroid. Condition you have, but you
Speaker 2: must do a full panel with a functional neurologist and
Speaker 2: a functional medicine practitioner to determine which type of thyroid
Speaker 2: problem you have, because a typical medical doctor or endocrinologist
Speaker 2: is only going to look at the TSAs to see
Speaker 2: if it's high or it's low, and then give you
Speaker 2: medication to cover up the root cause. I am a
Speaker 2: different type of doctor. I'm a brain expert. I'm a
Speaker 2: functional neurologist. I'm a functional medicine practitioner who gets to
Speaker 2: the root cause of your autoimmune and your thyroid condition.
Speaker 2: If you get to the root cause, then you'll function better,
Speaker 2: feel better, and live a better life. This is doctor
Speaker 2: Eric Kaplan, and you're listening 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 mis 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: park stroke, autism, add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo,
Speaker 3: migrains four, posture pain, TBI, skin and digestive problems. Doctor
Speaker 3: Kaplan is most famous for getting to the root cause
Speaker 3: of a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather
Speaker 3: than treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To
Speaker 3: contact the doctor Kamplin, you can call his team at
Speaker 3: two oh one two six one two one five zero
Speaker 3: or 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. I am a brain expert. I've seen
Speaker 2: over one hundred thousand patients. I've been doing this for
Speaker 2: over twenty years. I've read all the research. I have
Speaker 2: a bachelor's I have a doctor, I have a diplomat.
Speaker 2: I have three fellowships in neurology. A fellowships is the
Speaker 2: highest level of education you can get. Okay, So if
Speaker 2: you want to get to the root cause of your
Speaker 2: brain issue, we need to analyze your whole nervous system.
Speaker 2: One common condition I see as a brain expert is
Speaker 2: called multiple sclerosis or MS. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune
Speaker 2: disease of the brain. And what we'll see in like
Speaker 2: an MRI are these white lesions in the brain, different patches,
Speaker 2: and these white lesions are like sclerosing of the brain.
Speaker 2: They're becoming hard and that's not good. That interrupts the signals,
Speaker 2: all right, So that's autoimmune disease of the brain is
Speaker 2: called multiple sclerosis or MS. It's very common on people
Speaker 2: who move to this New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania
Speaker 2: area from southern latitude, meaning they come from Puerto Rico
Speaker 2: or the Dominican Republic or Cuba, or they come from
Speaker 2: Mexico or South America. They come from Africa or India,
Speaker 2: some place closer to the equator. So let's for example,
Speaker 2: you're from the Caribbean, Dominican or Puerto Rican and you
Speaker 2: move up to New York, which a lot of people
Speaker 2: do from the Caribbean. Now, their genes require more sunlight
Speaker 2: because they're closer to the equator, so their brains and
Speaker 2: bodies are used to getting more sun, powerful son stronger
Speaker 2: ways for longer hours, so their vitamin D levels are
Speaker 2: going to be high. Now when someone from Africa or
Speaker 2: India or Brazil or the Caribbean or Mexico, comes up
Speaker 2: to New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut Tri state area,
Speaker 2: which is a northern latitude. Now the sun is weaker
Speaker 2: up north. Now the rays are not as strong. Now
Speaker 2: they're weighing longer sleeves and less skin exposure. Now it's
Speaker 2: bad that their dark skin is preventing the sun from absorbing.
Speaker 2: That's what melanie is that protects you from over activation
Speaker 2: of the sun. However, if we're at a northern latitude
Speaker 2: like in Europe or in the Northeast, now we're getting
Speaker 2: less Sunlighteople who are used to getting more sunlight when
Speaker 2: they move up north, it's even more devastating to their brain.
Speaker 2: So the neuroscience has actually shown that there's a higher
Speaker 2: incidence of multiple sclerosis or MS in people who move
Speaker 2: from a southern latitude to a northern latitude. So if
Speaker 2: you're from Dominican, if you're from Puerto Rico or Cuba
Speaker 2: or Africa, if you're from India, if you're from South America,
Speaker 2: if you're from Mexico, Central America, you need more vitamin D.
Speaker 2: You need to supplement with vitamin D, but don't supplement
Speaker 2: with just vitamin D from Whole Foods or Trader Joe's
Speaker 2: or Vitamin Shopper GNC or CBS or Shopwright or Wegman's.
Speaker 2: Don't ever get vitamin D from a store. When they're
Speaker 2: mass produced. They're full of contaminants, impurities, they're full of fillers.
Speaker 2: They're not formulated properly to get absorbed by the human body.
Speaker 2: Most people take vitamins and they don't even absorb them.
Speaker 2: They just pee it out, either because their gut's not
Speaker 2: working well or the actual pill isn't easy to break down.
Speaker 2: So the vitamin D that I suggest is called Ultra
Speaker 2: D five thousand from Apex Energetics, which is a liquid
Speaker 2: which needs to be in fat. Vitamin D is a
Speaker 2: fat soluble vitamin. There's four fat siuble vitamins A, D, E,
Speaker 2: and K, and they all need to be taken together.
Speaker 2: So if you just take D by itself, it won't
Speaker 2: get absorbed. But if you take A, D, E, K together,
Speaker 2: there's a much better chance of absorption. If you don't
Speaker 2: take it with fat, because these are all fat siluble vitamins,
Speaker 2: they will not get absorbed. So not only do you
Speaker 2: have to have E, D, K and A all together,
Speaker 2: but they also need to be in fat and for
Speaker 2: the D to get absorbed, it also needs calcium, magnesium, phosphorus,
Speaker 2: and he's biotin and all this other stuff to help
Speaker 2: with absorption. That's why I like the apex energetics because
Speaker 2: they formulated it for the purpose of the D getting absorbed.
Speaker 2: So if you're coming from the South and you live
Speaker 2: up here up north, you must supplement. And even if
Speaker 2: you don't come from the South, most people need to
Speaker 2: supplement because they're not getting the sublime because they're not outside.
Speaker 2: It's cold there. When they are outside, they're wearing gloves
Speaker 2: and hat and glasses and long coats and long pants,
Speaker 2: so they don't get absorbed. So even though I'm from
Speaker 2: New Jersey and my ancestors from Poland and Russia where
Speaker 2: there's not a lot of bright sun strong vitamin D levels,
Speaker 2: I still take it too because my vitamin D levels,
Speaker 2: if I'm not supplementing, are below thirty rather than be
Speaker 2: closer to sixty. I want to double what the normal
Speaker 2: lab will tell you for vitamin D levels. You don't
Speaker 2: want to be normal because normal means you're comparing yourself
Speaker 2: to a typical American who's obese, they're fat, they got
Speaker 2: heart disease, they got cancer, they got Alzheimer's and Parkinson's,
Speaker 2: and they had the flu. And you know, most people
Speaker 2: getting blood work are sick. The healthiest people they don't
Speaker 2: get blood work, they don't go to the doctors, they
Speaker 2: don't do all these tests. So when you get all
Speaker 2: these lab values, they're comparing you to all the sick people.
Speaker 2: Stop comparing yourself to sick people. If you want to
Speaker 2: be sick, then you compare yourself to sick people. You
Speaker 2: want to be healthy, compare yourself to healthy people. Sick
Speaker 2: people have low vitamin D usually ten twenty thirty. Healthy
Speaker 2: people have very high vitamin D fifty sixty seventy. So
Speaker 2: that is definitely important to consider that. You don't want
Speaker 2: to be normal based on your lab values, but you
Speaker 2: want to be healthy because normal is not healthy. You
Speaker 2: don't want to be like everybody else who's sick and stupid, unsuccessful, unhappy, poor,
Speaker 2: bad relationships, bad immune system. Don't be like the ninety
Speaker 2: nine percent. Be the one percent who has high vitamin
Speaker 2: D levels, because if you have high vitamin D levels,
Speaker 2: you're less likely to develop MS multiple sclerosis, Now, since
Speaker 2: MS is an autoimmune disease, there are six foods that
Speaker 2: are super important to avoid to prevent MS, and if
Speaker 2: you have it, you can reverse it. So the six foods.
Speaker 2: Number one are gluten, which are in all the grains,
Speaker 2: you know, all the wheat, the ride, the barley or
Speaker 2: the bread, the pasta, the crackers, the cereals. Stay away
Speaker 2: from all that. Number two is dairy. Everything that's dairy.
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's butter, yogurt, butter and yogurt
Speaker 2: or not healthy. Stay away from sour cream, cream, cheese,
Speaker 2: creamy sauces, caesar dressing, ranch dressing. Stay away from milk
Speaker 2: and cheese and ice cream, cottage, cheese. Anything that's related
Speaker 2: to a dairy product creates more autoimmune dysfunction. Number three
Speaker 2: is corn. Corn on the cob, kernels of corn, corn, chips, tortillas, crackers, corns, everywhere.
Speaker 2: That includes corn oil, high fructose corn syrup. So there's
Speaker 2: corn and things we don't even realize but that aggravates
Speaker 2: autoimmune disease. Number four is soy tofu out of mammae,
Speaker 2: all these fake vegetarians foods. It's veggie burgers and veggie patties.
Speaker 2: They're full of soy products. Stay away from soy, adamme
Speaker 2: tofu all these imitation meats. Stay away from soybean oil,
Speaker 2: soy sauce. It's everywhere, it's in the dressings. Number five coffee,
Speaker 2: Stay away, calf decaf, Starbucks, dunkin Donuts if you do
Speaker 2: it at home, folders, I don't care. Stay away from coffee.
Speaker 2: That's number five, and number six is alcohol, beer, wine, liquor,
Speaker 2: Stay away from it. All. Those are the six autoimmune
Speaker 2: foods that you must avoid to prevent or reverse multiple sclerosis.
Speaker 2: Number one gluten, number two, dairy, number three, corn, number four, soy,
Speaker 2: number five, coffee at number six, alcohol. These foods must
Speaker 2: be avoided. And if you do have MS, you need
Speaker 2: a lot of fat, so tons of fat. Eat a
Speaker 2: lot of olives, Eat a lot of avocado, a lot
Speaker 2: of walnuts, brazil nuts, cheese, seeds, have fish, small fish, salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines,
Speaker 2: You can have eggs, you can have coconut oil. Those
Speaker 2: are all healthy fats, so stay away from those six
Speaker 2: autoimmune foods. Increase the fats, get exercise, reduce your stress,
Speaker 2: get your vitamin D, get your sunlight, and then you
Speaker 2: can reverse or prevent autoimmune conditions of the brain such
Speaker 2: as MS. Therefore, you'll function better, feel better, and live
Speaker 2: a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan. More when

Speaker 2: is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your
Speaker 2: brain power. Now. We have a lot of patients that
Speaker 2: come to us with digestive problems. One of the most
Speaker 2: common digestive problems we hear about. It's called IBS. Irrital
Speaker 2: about syndrome and not a lot of times. You can
Speaker 2: get constipation, you can get diarrhea, you can get bloating
Speaker 2: and nausea and guess, so a lot of different type
Speaker 2: of symptoms there, and it's usually it's an autoimmune disease
Speaker 2: where the body's attacking itself. Same thing like siliac. That's
Speaker 2: a gluten sensitivity where if you eat bread or wheat,
Speaker 2: the body's going to start attacking your stomach. Now IBS,
Speaker 2: it might attack your intestines, it might have your large intestines,
Speaker 2: your small intestines. Sometimes we get what's called SEBO small
Speaker 2: intestinal bacterial overgrowth. I see that a lot because what
Speaker 2: happens is you have this well, what's called your ilioseecal valve.
Speaker 2: That's a door that basically opens up to let the
Speaker 2: food go from your small intestines to your large intestines. However,
Speaker 2: when you have intestinal dysfunction, that illeo secal valve doesn't
Speaker 2: open up properly and some of the fecal matter or
Speaker 2: your poop gets stuck in the small intestines. So there's
Speaker 2: an overgrowth. And when you have this overgrowth of fecal matter,
Speaker 2: now bacteria, viruses, parasites, yeast, they all can feed on
Speaker 2: the food. If you have good bowel movements and you
Speaker 2: get rid of all your food every morning with a
Speaker 2: good bowel movement, then there's no food for this bacteria
Speaker 2: to eat, and your infections die off and your inflammation
Speaker 2: goes down. So you need to get rid of the food.
Speaker 2: How do you get rid of that food if the
Speaker 2: illeoscal valve isn't opening well, I do what's called a
Speaker 2: visceral manipulation. There's very few doctors that do this, but
Speaker 2: I actually take my hands and I'm actually able to
Speaker 2: push some of the fecal matter through the intestinal pathway
Speaker 2: as the valve opens up, as we're stimulating the autonomic
Speaker 2: nervous system. Then we can get rid of old food.
Speaker 2: There are many patients that have literally twenty pounds of
Speaker 2: fecal matter stuck inside them. So one way to lose
Speaker 2: weight is to get rid of the excess of fecal
Speaker 2: matter that's stuck in your intestines because they're not performing properly. Now,
Speaker 2: why wouldn't your intestines why wouldn't they perform properly. Why
Speaker 2: wouldn't your stomach release the acid and the bile that
Speaker 2: it's supposed to. Why wouldn't the valve open up to
Speaker 2: let the food through. Why wouldn't your intestines get this
Speaker 2: peristalsis contractions to squeeze everything along the pathway. If there's
Speaker 2: a breakdown, whether it's not enough acid, not enough bio,
Speaker 2: not enough enzymes, not enough bacteria, the valves don't open,
Speaker 2: intestines don't push, not enough lubrication, fecal mare, getting stuck
Speaker 2: on the walls. Whatever the problem is, it's going to
Speaker 2: be aggravated. If your autonomic nervous system isn't working properly.
Speaker 2: The most important nerve in the entire body is called
Speaker 2: your vagus nerve. That's the rest and digest nerve. So
Speaker 2: if your vegus nerve is not working properly, you can
Speaker 2: get your sleep and energy affected, but also your digestion
Speaker 2: and your gut function. If you've ever taken antibiotics, that's
Speaker 2: going to ruin your gut microbiome. Even if you take
Speaker 2: antibiotics for and ear infection as a kid, that's gonna
Speaker 2: affect your gut microbiome. As an adult. So stop taking
Speaker 2: all these antibiotics for everything. I mean, people will give
Speaker 2: you antibiotics if you got a cough, if you got
Speaker 2: a stomach ache, if you got a yeast infection, a
Speaker 2: bladder infection, an ear infection, gut infection, a lung infection,
Speaker 2: so any infection, they're gonna give you antibiotics, not understanding
Speaker 2: that it's ruining your gut microbiome. All these antibacterial lotions,
Speaker 2: the antibacterial sprays, the antibacterial soaps, it's all killing off
Speaker 2: good bacteria. If you use listenine mouthwash with alcohol, you're
Speaker 2: killing off the good bacteria. Don't use perel pirel on
Speaker 2: your hands, just use soap and water. We need bacteria.
Speaker 2: That's why I let my kids play in the dirt.
Speaker 2: I want them to be exposed to bacteria. Your body
Speaker 2: is more bacteria than cells, but we got to make
Speaker 2: sure it's good bacteria. And if you've ever taken antibiotics,
Speaker 2: or you do a lot of purele or antibiotic soaps
Speaker 2: or antibacterial sprays and jampoos and lotions and all this stuff,
Speaker 2: you need to replenish your gut microbiome with probiotics. Stop
Speaker 2: taking the antibiotics. Start taking probiotics. Antibiotics kill off all
Speaker 2: the good bacteria. Probiotics give you good bacteria. So I'm
Speaker 2: not a fan of taking all these medicines. You need bacteria.
Speaker 2: You need cholesterol. Stop taking all these statin drugs. Cholesterol
Speaker 2: drugs cause dementia. Cholesterol drugs cause joint pain. Your cholesterol
Speaker 2: is necessary for hormones, for your cell membranes. It's the
Speaker 2: building blocks of our cells. Comes from cholesterol. There's a
Speaker 2: reason we have cholesterol. We need it. Don't believe the
Speaker 2: lie that, oh, cholesterol causes stroking heart attack. It's not
Speaker 2: the nineteen fifties anymore. Stop believing the sugar industry which
Speaker 2: made cholesterol and fat evil. But guess what you need cholesterol,
Speaker 2: You need fat. All your neurons are covered in fat.
Speaker 2: Your brain is fat. Now we want healthy fat. You
Speaker 2: don't want the fat of steak, the pork fat, the
Speaker 2: chicken fat. We want fat from almonds, fat from walnuts,
Speaker 2: fat from eggs, fat from fish, fat from olives, fat
Speaker 2: from avocado, fat from gia seeds, fat from coconut oil.
Speaker 2: NCT medium chain triglycerides are good healthy fat. And the
Speaker 2: fat we said helps your other vitamins such as A, D, E,
Speaker 2: and K get absorbed. Those are fat soluble vitamins. If
Speaker 2: you don't have fat, you're not gonna absorb those vitamins.
Speaker 2: If you don't have fat, your brain's not gonna function
Speaker 2: at a high level. And fat doesn't make you fat.
Speaker 2: Sugar makes you fat. Carbs make you fat. Bread makes
Speaker 2: you fat, rice, potato, crackers, oatmeal, dairy products, cheese, ice cream, pizza,
Speaker 2: fried foods, seed, oils, stress, plastic water, bottles, not getting
Speaker 2: enough sleep. All this stuff makes you fat. But fat
Speaker 2: does not make you fat. So if you want your
Speaker 2: stomach to function highest levels, you gotta get your vagus
Speaker 2: nerve working better. So your peristalsis contractions, your stomach acid,
Speaker 2: your enzymes, your bacteria, everything works how it's supposed to.
Speaker 2: An easy way to simulate the vegus nerve is through garbling.
Speaker 2: You want to gargle really intensely. The louder the gargle,
Speaker 2: the better. Also, a swallowing exercise. Just get a bunch
Speaker 2: of salive on your tongue and do a big swallow
Speaker 2: so loud that they can hear you next door. That's
Speaker 2: gonna activate your vagus nerve, which helps with your digestion.
Speaker 2: Gargling thirty seconds three times a day. Swallow just once
Speaker 2: and if you don't have an eating disorder, gag reflex,
Speaker 2: take your toothbrush, your tongue depress or go to back
Speaker 2: your palate and elicit a little gag, not to the
Speaker 2: point where you throw up, but just a little gig
Speaker 2: and that will help activate your vagus nerve, which will
Speaker 2: help with your intestinal problems. Remember, IBS is an autoimmune disease,
Speaker 2: So stay away from the dairy, the gluten, corn, soy, alcohol, coffee.
Speaker 2: It's the worst thing for your digestion. It's alcohol, corn, sugar, dairy,
Speaker 2: bread products. Stay away from all that stuff. Stay away
Speaker 2: from all the white foods, the sugar, the dairy, the flour,
Speaker 2: and eat all the colorful food. That way your stomach
Speaker 2: and intestines and your gastro intestinal system get all the
Speaker 2: nutrients they need. So every day make sure you eat
Speaker 2: something that's red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, green. Get all
Speaker 2: all the colors of the rainbow to get all your nutrients.
Speaker 2: And avoid all those autoimmune foods, all those white foods
Speaker 2: to avoid the inflammation. Natural ways to reduce inflammation without
Speaker 2: steroids is tumeric, so you can get that at you know,
Speaker 2: like an Indian spice store. Risveritrol that's from Japanese nottweed
Speaker 2: and the skin of red grapes. That's a good anti inflammatory.
Speaker 2: Fish oils omega threes. They're also good to reduce inflammation,
Speaker 2: so they're great natural ways to reduce inflammation. Besides avoiding
Speaker 2: the foods and the chemicals and the preservers and the
Speaker 2: food dies and artificial flavors and sweeteners that all cause
Speaker 2: gastro intestinal inflammation. Stay away from those seed oils, soybean oil,
Speaker 2: vegetable oil, saplour oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil.
Speaker 2: Stay away from the oils. The only safe oils to
Speaker 2: eat are olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil. That's it.
Speaker 2: Everything else you want to stay away from. If you
Speaker 2: want to get better digestion, don't drink water with your food.
Speaker 2: Drink water before you eat a half hour before each meal.
Speaker 2: So you want a glass of water with lemon and salt,
Speaker 2: Celtic salt, just to pinch. You do it a half
Speaker 2: hour before launch, half hour before breakfast, and a half
Speaker 2: hour before dinner. That helps to lubricate the intestinal pathways
Speaker 2: and the last most important thing for good digestion is
Speaker 2: intermittent fasting where you only eat from ten am to
Speaker 2: six pm. You got to stop eating past six pm.
Speaker 2: We don't need food at night when we're trying to
Speaker 2: relax and chill and get good sleep and digression. So
Speaker 2: you want four hours before your last meal till bedtime.
Speaker 2: So idealistically you're done eating by six pm. So therefore
Speaker 2: you can go to bed by ten pm with all
Speaker 2: your food fully digested to reduce inflammation, so you'll function better,
Speaker 2: feel better, and live a better life. This is doctor
Speaker 2: Eric Caplan, and you're listening 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: holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's,
Speaker 3: Parkinson's stroke, autism, add 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 Kaplin, you can call his team at two
Speaker 3: oh 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. A lot of people come to me
Speaker 2: with pain, could be neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain,
Speaker 2: joint pain, their hands, their knees, their ankles. So there's
Speaker 2: a lot of pain. Now. What I don't do is
Speaker 2: write you a prescription for a painkiller. I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: give you a vic it in or perkistet or some
Speaker 2: opioid that's gonna create some brain addiction and horrible side effects.
Speaker 2: Not gonna give you a muscle relaxer. I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: give you an anti inflammatory, a steroid. An end said.
Speaker 2: Most doctors, when you're in pain, are gonna do something
Speaker 2: to try and hide the pain. Give you some injection,
Speaker 2: you know, do an epidural or cortisone shot. Right, That's
Speaker 2: not what we do at Caplin Brain and Body. What
Speaker 2: we do is get to the root cause of the pain.
Speaker 2: You don't just want to hide the symptoms, but say
Speaker 2: why am I in pain? Maybe it's my posture. Maybe
Speaker 2: you have to improve my posture. Maybe it's your in
Speaker 2: a line, the way your bones are set up. Maybe
Speaker 2: you need some manipulation of bones to get them in
Speaker 2: the right alignment. Maybe it's your muscle spasm. Maybe you
Speaker 2: need active release technique to decrease the spasm of the muscle.
Speaker 2: Maybe your nerves getting interfered with. Maybe you need to
Speaker 2: open up the nerve space and decompress. Maybe your disks
Speaker 2: in your spine are squished, or you have bulgs or herniation.
Speaker 2: Then you might need decompressive therapy or traction to open
Speaker 2: up those joints. Maybe you have a lot of inflammation.
Speaker 2: Maybe you need to change your diet. Maybe it's the
Speaker 2: side effect of a medication such as a statin or
Speaker 2: cholesterol meds. Maybe you have autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis. There
Speaker 2: could be a lot of reasons that you have pain.
Speaker 2: So I don't believe in just taking a pill or
Speaker 2: a supplement or an injection, or do some surgery to
Speaker 2: cover up the symptoms. You don't want to hide the symptoms.
Speaker 2: You want to figure out why you have them to
Speaker 2: begin with most people, it's a combination where they might
Speaker 2: need some brain therapy because they're in stress mode, and
Speaker 2: then they have to work on their positure because they
Speaker 2: sit too much. And then they need some manipulation because
Speaker 2: their bones are out of position based on their sleep position.
Speaker 2: Then they might need some massage or some active release technique,
Speaker 2: or some physical therapy, or some strengthening or some stretching
Speaker 2: for those tight muscles that are stiff or rigid. Sometimes
Speaker 2: they'll need some traction for the discs. Sometimes they'll need
Speaker 2: decompression for the nerves. Sometimes we'll need to take anti
Speaker 2: inflammatory stuff. Maybe you need to avoid inflammatory foods. Maybe
Speaker 2: you need to get more hydration. Maybe you need more
Speaker 2: fat in your diet, Maybe you need more oils. Maybe
Speaker 2: you need to increase your omega three to omega six ratio.
Speaker 2: There's so many things that can cause your joint pain.
Speaker 2: So let's get to the root cause of it's autoimmune disease.
Speaker 2: Fix the autoimmune disease. If it's the structural, fix the structural.
Speaker 2: If it's a combination, you gotta do all of it.
Speaker 2: I mean, not a patient today, then all of these
Speaker 2: things where I needed to fix their brain which is
Speaker 2: in stress mode. Then I need to improve their posture
Speaker 2: because they have a computer desk job. Then I need
Speaker 2: to work on their line, and I need to do
Speaker 2: manipulation of the bones. Then I need to do physical therapy.
Speaker 2: I had some strengthing, some strengthening active release technique. Then
Speaker 2: I had to decompress the disk and the nerves and
Speaker 2: do some traction and open up those joint spaces. Then
Speaker 2: I also had to work on their circulation and get
Speaker 2: blood flow and oxygen. Then I had to give them
Speaker 2: the proper nutritional program to reduce inflammation and increase nutritional absorption.
Speaker 2: And I need to improve their sleep position. So I
Speaker 2: set them up with a knee pillow to put between
Speaker 2: their legs so that their hips and pals aren't rotated
Speaker 2: all night. So it's work. Don't come to me if
Speaker 2: you just want a pill to hide the symptoms. But
Speaker 2: if you actually want to get to the root caused,
Speaker 2: then cap and brain and body is the place for you.
Speaker 2: If you don't want to hide your.
Speaker 4: Symptoms, then this is the place for you. You know, I
Speaker 4: got injured a couple of weeks ago playing basketball, and
Speaker 4: then I come home limping and my wife's like, oh,
Speaker 4: why don't you take a tile and all? And I
Speaker 4: said no, and she goes, why do you want to
Speaker 4: be in pain? I said, The pain is protecting me.
Speaker 4: That pain is preventing me from banging over to tie
Speaker 4: my shoes. That pain is preventing me from living lifting
Speaker 4: heavy things. That pain is preventing me from sitting for
Speaker 4: too long. So the pain is protecting you.
Speaker 2: It's telling you stop aggravating my disk, my nerve, my joint,
Speaker 2: my muscle, my bones. Your body is the smartest doctor
Speaker 2: you have. Stop trying to hide symptoms with pills. If
Speaker 2: you have pain, there's a reason for that, and we
Speaker 2: could figure out the reason with a thorough neurological and
Speaker 2: physical evaluation. Stick around for the end and I'll tell
Speaker 2: you how to get that. But you have to get
Speaker 2: to the root cause and that hide symptoms right. If
Speaker 2: you have a fever, your body is heating up to
Speaker 2: kill off the virus or the bacteria. Don't take a
Speaker 2: medication to bring down your fever. When you have a headache,
Speaker 2: that's your brain telling you, Hey, I'm not getting good
Speaker 2: blood flow to my head. Fix me. If I just
Speaker 2: take a medication to hide the headache, then you never
Speaker 2: get to the root cause. If you get dizziness, don't
Speaker 2: just take mechlasine to hide the symptoms. You want to say,
Speaker 2: why am I getting dizziness? Do I have pots positional
Speaker 2: orthostatic tech of cardio syndrome where my blood vessels aren't
Speaker 2: opening up properly to squeeze the oxygen into the brain.
Speaker 2: If you're getting dizzyness, you're not getting enough blood oxygen
Speaker 2: to your brain so that you feel off. So we
Speaker 2: got to get to the root cause. We might have
Speaker 2: to do this little table tilt treatment to pump the
Speaker 2: oxygen into the brain so you don't get headaches or
Speaker 2: dizzyness anymore. But we don't want to cover it up
Speaker 2: with medication. Then you never get to the root cause
Speaker 2: of the problem. Listen to your body. It's letting you
Speaker 2: know when something's wrong. Now. Sometimes, yeah, you might not
Speaker 2: be a good communicator and you might not pay attention
Speaker 2: to the symptoms of your body. So what you want
Speaker 2: to do is a thorough physical and neurological evaluation. We're
Speaker 2: going to give a gift to all our listeners. There's
Speaker 2: gonna be three different tests. Each test is normally six
Speaker 2: hundred dollars individually, but we're going to do a special.
Speaker 2: If you wait around to the end, you could get
Speaker 2: all three tests, which is a total of eighteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: You can get all these tests for only twenty one
Speaker 2: dollars each. The first six hundred dollars test, which you
Speaker 2: could get for twenty one dollars, it's called a qEEG
Speaker 2: brain mapping. This test, you wear a cap. It looks
Speaker 2: like a swim and it's got electrodes attached to it,
Speaker 2: and these electrodes measure your brain waves. There's alpha brain waves,
Speaker 2: which is how we normally are. There's beta brain waves
Speaker 2: when you really have to think and focus and concentrate.
Speaker 2: There's beta brain waves when you're just day dreaming. And
Speaker 2: then there's delta brain waves when you're out, you're sleeping,
Speaker 2: you're totally in a relaxed state. Now, based on these
Speaker 2: brain waves, we can measure them just like you can
Speaker 2: measure your heart waves with a EEG, sorry, with an EKG.
Speaker 2: So an ekg's for the heart, and EEG is for
Speaker 2: the brain, and what we do is called a q EEG.
Speaker 2: All right, and that's gonna measure all your different brain waves.
Speaker 2: Based on the location of the abnormal brain waves will
Speaker 2: dictate which areas of the brain are functioning well and
Speaker 2: which air of the brain are not functioning well. So
Speaker 2: it's gonna tell us you have depression, anxiety? Do you
Speaker 2: have short term memory laws? Do you have insomnia, sleep deprivation?
Speaker 2: You have long term memory? Do you have immediate memory?
Speaker 2: Do you have sequential memory problems? Do you have difficulty
Speaker 2: shifting tests? You have brain fog? You have confusion? Do
Speaker 2: you have bubbles and motivation? Organization planning, time management? Do
Speaker 2: you have issues with sensory you have floaters or tonightis
Speaker 2: ringing in the ears? Are you sensitive to lights and
Speaker 2: sounds and smells? Do you have balanced problems? Do you
Speaker 2: bump into things? Do you confuse your lefts and rots?
Speaker 2: Do you have issues with your walking your gate? Do
Speaker 2: you have issues with your neurotransmitters? Literally, the brain mapping
Speaker 2: is gonna tell us. Do you have low dopamine? Do
Speaker 2: you have low acetyl coaling? It's gonna tell us if
Speaker 2: you have a thyroid problem, if you have intestinal inflammation,
Speaker 2: if you have a concussion, if you have a virus
Speaker 2: attacking the brain, you got heavy metal poisoning. This qee
Speaker 2: G mapping picks up all this with no radiation. You
Speaker 2: don't have to sit in some small tube. You don't
Speaker 2: need any contrast flue. There's no risk. It's super short,
Speaker 2: super easy, very convenient, and very effective and analyzing the brain.
Speaker 2: It's normally six hundred dollars, but for the first seven
Speaker 2: people to call, text or email you can get the
Speaker 2: entire test for only twenty one dollars. The next test
Speaker 2: is called a VNG video and astamography, and that is
Speaker 2: a test where you measure your eye movements. So you
Speaker 2: wear these goggles and they've infrared cameras on them and
Speaker 2: they go left and right and up and down and
Speaker 2: dark and light and fast and slow. And this way
Speaker 2: we could tell which area of the brains are overactive
Speaker 2: and that might create stress, anxiety, heart palpitations, insomnia, ADHD,
Speaker 2: the mind's racing, worry, anger, aggression. The v ANDNG will
Speaker 2: also pick up which areas are underactive brain fog, poor memory,
Speaker 2: low motivation, fatigue, can plan, can't organize, don't want to
Speaker 2: do anything, malaise, lack of empathy, THEE. This tells us
Speaker 2: which is underactive. And that's why I love the VNG
Speaker 2: because it's very specific to the right side the left side,
Speaker 2: which areas are underactive, which we need to relax, Which
Speaker 2: areas sorry, which areas are underactive we need to stimulate,
Speaker 2: and which areas are overactive we need to relax. So therefore,
Speaker 2: the VNG is the best to check out brain balance
Speaker 2: and overactivity and underactivity. That test is also normally six
Speaker 2: hundred dollars, but for the first people to call, text
Speaker 2: or email you can get that test again for only
Speaker 2: twenty one dollars. The last test is a one on
Speaker 2: one with me where we go over your memory, your balance.
Speaker 2: I listen to your heart, your lungs, your gut, look
Speaker 2: at your eyes, your ear, and your balance, your range, embotion,
Speaker 2: your posture. Then we also review the qEEG, the v ANDNG.
Speaker 2: If you've had blood work done, we go over everything.
Speaker 2: It takes about forty five minutes, non invasive, no radiation,
Speaker 2: no pain, but I tell you exactly what's wrong and
Speaker 2: easy solutions on how to fix it without any drug, surgery, supplement, pills,
Speaker 2: herbs injections at IVS. Everything is natural, holistic, and it's
Speaker 2: an integrative approach to your health and wellbeing. You just
Speaker 2: got to be one of the first seven people to call,
Speaker 2: text or email and you could get each of the
Speaker 2: three tests. They're only twenty one dollars each. Here is
