Speaker 1: The following is a paid podcast. iHeartRadio's hosting of this
Speaker 1: podcast constitutes neither an endorsement of the products offered or
Speaker 1: the ideas expressed.
Speaker 2: Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
Speaker 2: is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
Speaker 2: brain power. One of the most common questions I receive
Speaker 2: is how can I lose weight? Now, I'm the type
Speaker 2: of doctor that's going to help you lose weight in
Speaker 2: a natural way. I'm not the type of doctor that
Speaker 2: writes a prescription for ozembic or these diabetes medication. There's
Speaker 2: all these celebrities and famous people and all these marketing gimmicks.
Speaker 2: Are you helping you with? Well, here's the deal. When
Speaker 2: you lose weight with ozembic or these diabetes medication, you
Speaker 2: lose eighty percent muscle and only twenty percent fat. That's
Speaker 2: very unhealthy. When you lose weight in a natural way
Speaker 2: without medication, just by creating good habits, you're gonna lose
Speaker 2: eighty percent fat and only twenty percent muscle. That's the
Speaker 2: way to do it. If you take the medication and
Speaker 2: you lose eighty percent muscle, then you're gonna become weaker.
Speaker 2: Your bones are gonna become weaker. Your heart is a
Speaker 2: muscle that's going to become weaker. Your intestines in your
Speaker 2: digestive tract or muscles, those are gonna become weaker. Your
Speaker 2: brain is going to become weaker. You're more likely to
Speaker 2: get osteoporosis. Okay, so you don't want to take these
Speaker 2: pills and lose all your muscle. That's very dangerous for
Speaker 2: your cardiovascular system, for your gastro intestinal system, for your
Speaker 2: muscular scale system, really dangerous when you lose weight. The
Speaker 2: way I'm gonna teach you, you're gonna lose all the
Speaker 2: bad stuff. You're gonna lose the fat, but keep the
Speaker 2: good stuff, all the muscle, all right. That way you
Speaker 2: ensure not getting heart disease, not getting diabetes, not getting obesity,
Speaker 2: preventing Alzheimer's dementia. I do it the right way. You
Speaker 2: got to create good habits. Now, I'm not the type
Speaker 2: of doctor that teaches you some diet fab right, So
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say, Okay, I want you to do
Speaker 2: the keto, or I want you to do Atkins, or
Speaker 2: I want you to do paleo, or I want you to
Speaker 2: be a carnivore or I want you to be a vegan.
Speaker 2: I want you to do the blood type diet, or
Speaker 2: I want you to count calories, or I want you
Speaker 2: to do this percent fat, this percent carbs, this percent protein,
Speaker 2: or I want you to you know, go according to
Speaker 2: some blood work that you did. So what we're gonna
Speaker 2: do is just teach you how to eat normal, healthy
Speaker 2: way like they've done for thousands of years. It's just
Speaker 2: eating from the earth the way we've always done it,
Speaker 2: not from the factory. You eat from the earth. What
Speaker 2: do I mean? What do I mean by that? One ingredient? Foods?
Speaker 2: You want an apple? Have an apple? You want a
Speaker 2: piece of broccoli, Have a broccoli. You want a carrot,
Speaker 2: Have a carrot. You want an egg, have an egg?
Speaker 2: Want a piece of fish, Have a piece of fish,
Speaker 2: piece of meat, piece of chicken, a piece of turkey.
Speaker 2: One ingredient, Right, you're not getting things in boxes that
Speaker 2: list ten ingredients. That's not natural. You get it from
Speaker 2: the earth. That's the only way I want you to
Speaker 2: eat is anything that comes from the earth. If it's
Speaker 2: in a box or a bag or a can stay
Speaker 2: away from it. If it's directly from the earth, that's fine,
Speaker 2: And what I mean by that. No bread. There's no
Speaker 2: bread tree that you just get directly from the earth.
Speaker 2: No dairy, there's no milk bush, nothing in a box,
Speaker 2: no cereals, no oatmeals, no crackers, no muffins, no bagels,
Speaker 2: no pastries, no candy. They're all more than one ingredient.
Speaker 2: When you go to the supermarket, you stay on the outside,
Speaker 2: stay away from the aisles. Nothing good on the isles.
Speaker 2: It's not complicated to create these good habits. People come
Speaker 2: up to me and say, doctor Kaplan, what do you eat?
Speaker 2: And my response to them is I eat food. I
Speaker 2: eat real food from the earth. Anything that's from the earth,
Speaker 2: I'll eat. If it's not from the earth, I try
Speaker 2: and stay away from it. If I can't pick it
Speaker 2: from a bush or a tree or the root, not
Speaker 2: gonna have it. You gotta stay away from all the
Speaker 2: processed foods. How do you think they stay in boxes
Speaker 2: and cans for so long. I want food that molds.
Speaker 2: Mold is good, that means it's real. If you're getting
Speaker 2: food that could just stay in your cabinet for days
Speaker 2: and weeks and months, that's a little scary. And I
Speaker 2: want food that molds. Notice when you buy you know,
Speaker 2: organic food. It molds much quicker than gmo foods. You
Speaker 2: can have these gmo foods that take weeks to start molding.
Speaker 2: That's a little scary. I'd rather buy organic and know
Speaker 2: it's real. It's a little bit more expensive, but it's
Speaker 2: worth it. The only money I spend is on health,
Speaker 2: and that includes vacation, that includes buying organic, that includes
Speaker 2: my gym membership. These are all part of your health, right.
Speaker 2: We need to stay healthy and create good habits. So
Speaker 2: my first way to lose weight really quickly. It's not
Speaker 2: a diet, it's literally just eating real food. Try it.
Speaker 2: Your life will change if all you do is eat
Speaker 2: real foods, not rocket science. You just have to eat
Speaker 2: food from the earth the way they've always done it,
Speaker 2: directly from the earth, and get organic. Even if it's organic,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be stuff on there. So when you get home,
Speaker 2: get your foods, get your veggies, throw them in a bowl,
Speaker 2: fill it up with water, put some baking soda in there.
Speaker 2: The baking soda will take out all the bad chemicals.
Speaker 2: You just got to do for ten minutes, doesn't even
Speaker 2: have to be that long, and then pour out the
Speaker 2: water in the bowl. Wash everything, clean it off, and
Speaker 2: store it in the glass containers not plastic. You know,
Speaker 2: when you get it from the supermarket, make sure you
Speaker 2: store it in plastic. I mean in glass, not plastic,
Speaker 2: because the plastics leak into the food. These plastics are
Speaker 2: endocrine disruptors. Plastics will prevent you from losing weight. If
Speaker 2: you get rid of your plastics. If that's the only
Speaker 2: thing you did, you would lose weight. I had a
Speaker 2: patient she lost twenty pounds in three months just by
Speaker 2: getting rid of plastics, plastic water bottle, plastic food containers,
Speaker 2: plastic storage, plastic wrap. Got rid of all of her plastics.
Speaker 2: It's the only thing she did. Imagine if she did
Speaker 2: the plastics plus eating from the earth, then she would
Speaker 2: lose probably thirty pounds instead of twenty pounds. So start
Speaker 2: eating only from the earth. And a lot of patients
Speaker 2: are confused because they say, oh, they always read these things.
Speaker 2: Oh the foods not as good as it used to be,
Speaker 2: so I don't get the nutrients that I did. Well,
Speaker 2: you could just check your blood work. You don't have
Speaker 2: to guess you look at your blood work, look at
Speaker 2: your calcium levels. If your calcium levels are low, then
Speaker 2: you're not getting enough calcium. You're not getting it through
Speaker 2: your food. That's very rare. I don't see that often.
Speaker 2: It's very rare that I see calcium being low. I
Speaker 2: see vitamin D being low all the time. That's very common.
Speaker 2: We get vitamin D from the sun and most people
Speaker 2: are inside all day, and most people wear long sleeves
Speaker 2: and glasses and hats and they cover their skin. So
Speaker 2: of course you're not going to get the proper amount
Speaker 2: of vitamin D. Not in New York, not in New Jersey.
Speaker 2: If you're living in the Caribbean and you're outside all day,
Speaker 2: you're living by the equator. In Africa and India, yeah
Speaker 2: you're going to get a lot of vit in D,
Speaker 2: but not here. So we see that very common. But
Speaker 2: the only way to know is to check your blood work.
Speaker 2: So I have checked my blood work and yes, I'm
Speaker 2: vitamin D deficient. So yes, I do supplement with vitamin D.
Speaker 2: But that's it. It's the only thing I supplement. And
Speaker 2: you should only have one or two supplements. That's it.
Speaker 2: If you're taking twelve supplements and think you're healthy, you're not.
Speaker 2: How many people come to me taking oh, I take
Speaker 2: seven eight nine, ten, twelve, fifteen supplements, and they say
Speaker 2: I'm super healthy. I take all these supplements. If you're healthy,
Speaker 2: you don't need supplements. Do you understand that if you're healthy,
Speaker 2: you don't need supplements. Supplements do not make you healthy.
Speaker 2: That means you're not healthy, because if you were healthy,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't need supplements. You don't need supplements. That's why
Speaker 2: they're called supplements. They're supposed to supplement your deficiencies. But
Speaker 2: if you're healthy, you don't have deficiencies. I am more
Speaker 2: of a natural doctor than you'll ever meet, because I
Speaker 2: don't want you on vitamins or supplements either. I don't
Speaker 2: want you on herbs and homeopathic. So when people think natural,
Speaker 2: a lot of times they think supplements, herbs, vitamins, homeopathic remedies,
Speaker 2: herbal remedies. How about no remedies. How About you're not
Speaker 2: treating anything. How about you're not sick and you're just healthy,
Speaker 2: so you don't need to take anything. Taking melatonin to
Speaker 2: help you sleep is not healthy just because it's natural.
Speaker 2: Natural does not mean healthy. So the healthiest people are
Speaker 2: the one that take the least medicine, the least vitamin
Speaker 2: see the least doctors, see the least hospital visits to
Speaker 2: the least X rays, MRIs tests. Those are the healthiest
Speaker 2: people who do not see doctors, and that way you
Speaker 2: can function better, feel better, and live a better life.

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. Currently, a lot of people come to
Speaker 2: me for anxiety, and people are stressed out, especially right
Speaker 2: now after the election, and then there's holidays coming up
Speaker 2: and people are losing loved ones. I've never seen so
Speaker 2: many people die recently. There's a lot of deaths and
Speaker 2: this is creating a lot of mood disorders, a lot
Speaker 2: of stress, a lot of anxiety, a lot of depression.
Speaker 2: But especially in this Northeast area, anxiety is an epidemic.
Speaker 2: And it's with kids too. A lot of children, young
Speaker 2: adolescents and teenagers and college kids are really having stress
Speaker 2: and anxiety. And then you have these mothers that are
Speaker 2: worried about their kids and taking care of the house
Speaker 2: and taking care of their husbands and a lot of
Speaker 2: stress trying to be a working mother, the cook, to clean,
Speaker 2: the wife, the mom, the daughter, the sisters. So a
Speaker 2: lot of these, you know, thirty forty fifty year old
Speaker 2: mothers are having severe anxiety disorders. And I want to
Speaker 2: help both. I want to help the kids, I want
Speaker 2: to help the adults. You have to take control of anxiety.
Speaker 2: It's not something that you want to ruminate on. And
Speaker 2: you have a paradigm shift that's important. And if you
Speaker 2: look for all the stresses in life, that's what you'll see.
Speaker 2: So what we have to do is have a paradigm shift.
Speaker 2: And it's difficult because negativity is five more five times
Speaker 2: more powerful than positivity. So if you are worried about
Speaker 2: your kit, all right, one of the things you should
Speaker 2: do is give them five positive feedbacks before you have
Speaker 2: some negative criticism. You know. So let's say in the
Speaker 2: morning and you say, okay, good job waking up and
Speaker 2: making your bed right away. That's one positive thing. And
Speaker 2: then you say, good job doing all your homework last night.
Speaker 2: That's two positive things. And number three, good job brushing
Speaker 2: your teeth in the morning, good job getting your backpack
Speaker 2: prepared for school, and good job getting dressed and looking
Speaker 2: nice and mean and washing your face and your hands.
Speaker 2: So I give good five compliments to my child. Now
Speaker 2: I say, oh, I gotta looked on your grades, and
Speaker 2: you know you didn't do as good as you should
Speaker 2: have on that math test. You know, we thought you
Speaker 2: should have studied more, but you said you knew it
Speaker 2: and look at your great So then we do the
Speaker 2: criticism there. But you got to have those five positive
Speaker 2: things first, right. You know, I'm dealing with my wife. Oh,
Speaker 2: dinner was great last night. And thanks for you know,
Speaker 2: picking up the kids at soccer. I was stuck at
Speaker 2: work last night. And wow, you look so beautiful. I
Speaker 2: love the way you did your hair. Thank you, Thank
Speaker 2: you so much for being such a great wife and
Speaker 2: so loving. And you are such a great daughter. I
Speaker 2: can't believe how much you take care of your mom.
Speaker 2: Five good things, and then I could say, oh, sweetie,
Speaker 2: can you make sure you yeah, you know, take your
Speaker 2: bras out of the bathroom in the morning. I don't like,
Speaker 2: you know, having the clothes all over the place. Then
Speaker 2: we could do a criticism. So you got to do
Speaker 2: five good things for one criticism. Most people will do
Speaker 2: five criticisms, five negative things and one good thing if that,
Speaker 2: especially with our loved ones where we get very comfortable
Speaker 2: with them, but they need to know the good things too.
Speaker 2: That's very important because when you give a compliment and
Speaker 2: you seebody and you see somebody smile, that reduces your
Speaker 2: stress and anxiety. When you give a compliment the person
Speaker 2: you give the compliment to, it reduces their stress and anxiety.
Speaker 2: And then if my kids witness it, it brings down
Speaker 2: their stress and anxiety. So when I compliment my wife,
Speaker 2: my anxiety reduces, my wife's anxiety reduces, and my kid's
Speaker 2: anxiety reduces. The person who gives the compliment gets help,
Speaker 2: the person who gets the compliment gets help, and the
Speaker 2: person who witnesses the compliment also gets a benefit of
Speaker 2: their brain. So start being the person that gives five
Speaker 2: positive things for every one negative thing. You need a
Speaker 2: five to one ratio. And when you say it out
Speaker 2: loud more powerful. Right, If you text message it, okay,
Speaker 2: that's good, but if you say it out loud, it's
Speaker 2: ten times more powerful than an email or a text
Speaker 2: message or a Facebook comment. You get the idea. So
Speaker 2: you got to say it out loud. And that's when
Speaker 2: you're talking about yourself too. Right, You got to say
Speaker 2: five positive things about yourself before you have one negative criticism,
Speaker 2: and you have to say it out loud. You say, Oh,
Speaker 2: I'm smart, I'm good looking, I help people, I'm charitable,
Speaker 2: I'm loving, and you know I should exercise more. Right,
Speaker 2: don't always have these things. Oh I need to exercise more,
Speaker 2: I need to lose weight, I need to make more money.
Speaker 2: You know, Start telling yourself your good things first, right
Speaker 2: when you wake up you say five good things, and
Speaker 2: then you can have one criticism. Right. That is a
Speaker 2: paradigm shift. You look for the good, you'll see the good.
Speaker 2: If you look for the bad, you'll see the bad.
Speaker 2: The mind is powerful. You see health, you'll be healthier.
Speaker 2: You see sick, you'll be sicker. You see money, you'll
Speaker 2: be richer. You see poverty, you'll be poor. It's what
Speaker 2: you believe. Your mind is more powerful than you could
Speaker 2: ever imagine. But you got to believe. Whatever you is.
Speaker 2: You want to accomplish. You want to have a better relationship,
Speaker 2: you visualize it. You want to have more spirituality, you
Speaker 2: visualize it. You want to be better at pickle ball,
Speaker 2: you visualize that ball going in. You want to get
Speaker 2: a promotion at work, you visualize it. You want that
Speaker 2: you know, office corner with the nice view, you visualize it.
Speaker 2: You want to lose weight, you visualize it. Your mind
Speaker 2: is powerful. You create that every day. Whatever you want,
Speaker 2: I don't care what it is. You know, you want
Speaker 2: a new bicycle, you visualize it every day. So I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get that bike. I'm gonna get that bike. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get that bike. I don't care what it is.
Speaker 2: You want a new house. You visualize that new house.
Speaker 2: You want a new car, you visualize it. You want
Speaker 2: to get a raise, you visualize it. You create that.
Speaker 2: But if you start visualizing cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, you
Speaker 2: start thinking about that, you're creating that in your brain.
Speaker 2: Whatever you resist persists, So start going towards the stuff
Speaker 2: that you want. Now. Another thing for anxiety is distraction.
Speaker 2: The key to anxiety is distraction. So if you want
Speaker 2: to stop stressing about a certain thing that you're thinking about,
Speaker 2: change your scenery. If you're in the kitchen and then
Speaker 2: you're where you know, you're thinking about the election and
Speaker 2: who won and what are you gonna do and whatever
Speaker 2: it is, you're getting all anxious. Your heart starts beating,
Speaker 2: your mind starts racing. Change the scenery. Go get the dog,
Speaker 2: go outside for a walk, Go downstairs to debatement and
Speaker 2: do ten pushups. I don't care what it is. Go
Speaker 2: up to the bedroom, read a book that you've been into.
Speaker 2: Go to the living room, put on some music that
Speaker 2: you like. Go talk to your spouse, talk to your kid,
Speaker 2: ask them about their homework, a's them about their day. Like,
Speaker 2: distract yourself. If you can help somebody else. Even better,
Speaker 2: call your parents and say, hey, guys, I'm gonna come over.
Speaker 2: Is there anything I could get for you? The key
Speaker 2: to anxiety is distraction. Get out of that scene, get
Speaker 2: out of that room, get out of that conversation. Don't
Speaker 2: ruminate on it. You need to leave the room talking
Speaker 2: to yourself and saying Okay, calm down, everything's gonna be okay,
Speaker 2: you're fine, Just relax. That will not work, especially if
Speaker 2: somebody else says that too. You ever notice when you're
Speaker 2: stress and your anxiety and anxious and somebody says, hey, relax,
Speaker 2: calm down, that doesn't help, right, So you gotta distract yourself.
Speaker 2: So if I see somebody stress, I'm gonna say, hey,
Speaker 2: come on over here. Let's go outside. Let's shoot some
Speaker 2: basketball hoops, Let's go for a walk, Let's take a hike.
Speaker 2: Let's go play with the dog. Take them to the dog, run,
Speaker 2: throw the tennis ball. Let's go take the kids out
Speaker 2: to the park, let them play on the playground. Right,
Speaker 2: help others, do something for others. The key to anxiety
Speaker 2: is distraction, and if you do that, you'll function better,
Speaker 2: feel better, and live better life. This is doctor Eric
Speaker 2: Kaplan more. When we come back from the break.

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. One of the most common questions patients
Speaker 2: ask me is how can I improve my energy. There's
Speaker 2: so many people with fatigue, lack of energy, low motivation. Now,
Speaker 2: how are you gonna boost your energy? Well, it all
Speaker 2: starts from a good night's sleep. If you're not getting
Speaker 2: good sleep, then obviously when you wake up, you're not
Speaker 2: gonna have a lot of energy. You need to wake
Speaker 2: up with energy ready to conquer the day. If you
Speaker 2: wake up all groggy, you want to press the snooze alarm,
Speaker 2: dragging out of bed, you need a coffee to get
Speaker 2: you going, which is the majority of people. That is
Speaker 2: not a good way to live. There is something wrong
Speaker 2: with that you need coffee to get you up in
Speaker 2: the morning. There's an issue with that. Your body has
Speaker 2: all the energy it needs. It doesn't need it synthetically,
Speaker 2: whether it's through coffee or red Bull or any type
Speaker 2: of caffeine stimulant sugar. We need to get our own
Speaker 2: energy from our body. It's in there, we just have
Speaker 2: to unleash its potential. So getting a good night's sleep
Speaker 2: is important. That's your circadium rhythms. Now. One of the
Speaker 2: easiest ways to get your circadium rhythms in order is
Speaker 2: using the laws of the sun, and all that means
Speaker 2: is keep it real simple. So when the sun's out,
Speaker 2: that's when you're active. When the sun's down, that's when
Speaker 2: you relax. All right, So all your activities should be
Speaker 2: done during the daylight hours. That's the way they've done
Speaker 2: it for thousands of years until electricity was invented. So
Speaker 2: your energy should be during the day. Your cortisol needs
Speaker 2: to be high in the morning to give you energy.
Speaker 2: Your cortisol should be low at night so you could
Speaker 2: get a good night's sleep. If your cortisol levels are
Speaker 2: high at night, then you're not gonna get a good sleep.
Speaker 2: Then you're not gonna wake up well rested. What things
Speaker 2: increase cortisol at night. Number one is food. Don't eat
Speaker 2: food at night. If you want energy during the day,
Speaker 2: you want four hours after dinner before bedtime. So idealistically,
Speaker 2: we're gonna keep it real simple. You want to sleep
Speaker 2: from ten pm to six am. That's your perfect eight
Speaker 2: hours of sleep. That's ideal ten pm to six am.
Speaker 2: Now we also want to eat eat from ten am
Speaker 2: to six pm. So we're sleeping when it's darkest ten
Speaker 2: pm to six am, and we're eating when it's lightest
Speaker 2: ten am to six pm. Therefore, when you're done eating
Speaker 2: by six pm, you have four hours before bedtime, so
Speaker 2: from six pm to ten pm, no food. We need
Speaker 2: to digest our dinner, We need to absorb those nutrients.
Speaker 2: We need to relax, We need to chill out and
Speaker 2: calm our brains down, so you get in what we
Speaker 2: call the rest and digest. We don't want to be
Speaker 2: high cortisol levels in the fight or flight, so we
Speaker 2: need to be in a calm, relaxed rest and digesting.
Speaker 2: So number one way to get in the rest and
Speaker 2: digest is to not eat from six pm to ten pm.
Speaker 2: Then you sleep from ten pm to six am. Now,
Speaker 2: not only do we want to do what's called intermittent
Speaker 2: fasting where you only eat eight hours during the day,
Speaker 2: which is the ten am to six pm, but you
Speaker 2: want to do intermittent electronic fasting, meaning electronics should be
Speaker 2: done by six pm as well. So if you got emails,
Speaker 2: you got work to do, you need to be on
Speaker 2: the computer. You want to sect your checks, messages, check
Speaker 2: your social media, the FaceTime. You want to go on YouTube,
Speaker 2: you want to go on TikTok, Instagram, whatever it is
Speaker 2: you do, just scroll in. I don't care what it is.
Speaker 2: But if you need to use electronics, Do it before
Speaker 2: six pm. Get everything done electronically before six pm, including television.
Speaker 2: You want to watch your favorite show on Netflix, do
Speaker 2: it before six pm. Do it in the morning if
Speaker 2: you want, but don't do it at night. If you
Speaker 2: watch TV at night, you're going to increase cortisol. If
Speaker 2: you eat at night, you're going to increase cortisol. If
Speaker 2: you read the newspaper and you're, you know, worried about
Speaker 2: racism and inflation and the election, and you're worried about
Speaker 2: the fires and the hurricanes and the tornadoes and the
Speaker 2: murders and the crime and the violence, and the World
Speaker 2: War III and Ukraine and Israel. If that's what you're
Speaker 2: reading right before bed, or if you're listening to the
Speaker 2: radio the news right before bed, or even worse, if
Speaker 2: you're watching TV. So then you're getting the light from
Speaker 2: the TV and the anxiety the news reporting. So you
Speaker 2: have to stop watching electronics at night. That includes your phone,
Speaker 2: that includes your computer, your TV. That's a paradigm shit.
Speaker 2: Most people work during the day, then eat at night,
Speaker 2: and then watch TV or go on to computer or
Speaker 2: scroll on their cell phone. That's the worst recipe for disaster.
Speaker 2: You're gonna increase cordus all at night. That's going to
Speaker 2: interrupt your deep sleep, it's gonna mess up your circadium rhythms,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna have decrease energy. So if you want
Speaker 2: to have more energy throughout the day, turn off all
Speaker 2: your electronics after six pm, don't eat after six pm,
Speaker 2: go to bed at ten pm. And now's the perfect
Speaker 2: time with the clocks changing, because if you're used to
Speaker 2: going to bed at eleven, now you could go to
Speaker 2: bed at ten and it's the same thing. You could
Speaker 2: literally go to bed earlier. So a lot of my
Speaker 2: patients with sleeping difficulties, I'm letting them know this week
Speaker 2: is the perfect week to start going to bed earlier.
Speaker 2: If your bedtimes twelve, now it's actually eleven, So just
Speaker 2: go to bed at eleven and bam, you just started
Speaker 2: going to bed an hour earlier. And if your bedtime's eleven,
Speaker 2: now it's the perfect time to switch it to ten.
Speaker 2: Take advantage of the stupid turn back the clock fall back,
Speaker 2: take advantage of it. I don't believe in it, but
Speaker 2: since they do it, start going to bed earlier. Your
Speaker 2: brain doesn't know what time it is. Your brain just
Speaker 2: sees the sun. But if you're inside, it doesn't see
Speaker 2: the sun. So go outside three times a day to
Speaker 2: get your circadian rhythms in order. Most important times are
Speaker 2: Number one, sun rise, when you go outside during sunrise
Speaker 2: every morning. Now you're gonna increase your energy because your
Speaker 2: brain sees the sun rising and it's gonna increase cortisol.
Speaker 2: Number two is sunset. So now if the brain is out,
Speaker 2: you gotta gotta go outside. Not looking out the window,
Speaker 2: so you physically gotta go outside see the whole sky
Speaker 2: for ten minutes during sunset. Now your brain sees, Okay,
Speaker 2: the sun's going down, it's getting darker. Now I'm going
Speaker 2: to decrease cortisol and I'm gonna increase melatonin. That's my
Speaker 2: pineal gland does that. So if I use the sun now,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have more energy during the day and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get a deeper sleep at night. The third time
Speaker 2: for ten minutes is in the middle of the day when
Speaker 2: the sun's right on top of us, twelve to two
Speaker 2: o'clock something like that. Lunchtime. Just go outside for ten minutes,
Speaker 2: roll up your sleeves, roll up those pant legs, take
Speaker 2: off your glasses, take off your hat. Let that sun
Speaker 2: ray get on your skin, Let it touch your eyes.
Speaker 2: The more skin exposure the better. Now your brain says, okay,
Speaker 2: it's twelve o'clock. Cortisol level should be the highest. Right now,
Speaker 2: all right, we got the rest of the day. We
Speaker 2: got to increase our energy. So you want to give
Speaker 2: your boost of energy in the middle of the day.
Speaker 2: You go outside and get some sunlight during your lunchtime,
Speaker 2: just for ten minutes. That's it. Ten minutes sunrise, ten
Speaker 2: minutes lunchtime, ten minutes sunset. Use those circadium rhythms. That
Speaker 2: way you'll get your deeper sleep. But if it's nine
Speaker 2: o'clock at night, you're eating food, all your lights are on,
Speaker 2: the TV's on, you're scrolling through your cell phone, you're
Speaker 2: on the computer. Your brain says, up, cortisol should be high,
Speaker 2: right now, get all these lights. I'm eating must be daytime.
Speaker 2: I have no idea where the sun is because all
Speaker 2: these lights are on. So when you come back after
Speaker 2: your walk from sunset, then you also want to turn
Speaker 2: off all your electronics. Right we said after six o'clock,
Speaker 2: no electronics. Also dim your lights. You could dim your
Speaker 2: lights at six o'clock and then seven o'clock did them
Speaker 2: even a little bit more, and then eight o'clock didn't
Speaker 2: them even more, And just use a desk lamp. And
Speaker 2: nine o'clock almost everything's off. Ten o'clock no lights. So
Speaker 2: get your brain to relax and calm down, and then
Speaker 2: you'll get in a deeper sleep and that'll increase your energy.
Speaker 2: And then when you wake up, exercise that boosts your testosteron,
Speaker 2: boost your cortisol, gives you energy. And then after you
Speaker 2: shower after your exercise, turn it on cold. Do at
Speaker 2: least thirty seconds of a cold shower. Then after you
Speaker 2: eat breakfast, go for a little walk. Don't go sitting
Speaker 2: on the computer straight to work. You need to walk
Speaker 2: a little bit. And then you got to do the
Speaker 2: twenty rule. The twenty rule is very important for energy.
Speaker 2: It's the most important rule. Every twenty minutes of sitting,
Speaker 2: you get up for twenty seconds, move your body, look
Speaker 2: twenty feet away, and then you can sit back down.
Speaker 2: That's the twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, you get up
Speaker 2: for twenty seconds, you walk twenty feet whatever it is,
Speaker 2: you move your body for twenty seconds, you look twenty
Speaker 2: feet away, and then you could go back to work.
Speaker 2: That's the twenty rule to increase your energy to function better,
Speaker 2: feel better, and live a better life. This is doctor

Speaker 2: is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your
Speaker 2: brain power. Now. A lot of patients ask me how
Speaker 2: can they improve their focus. A lot of issues with
Speaker 2: memory isn't actually a problem with memory, but it's with focus.
Speaker 2: For example, when you're meeting someone. My biggest complaint I
Speaker 2: get from my patients, so I forget people's names because
Speaker 2: a lot of the times it's focused, they're not focused
Speaker 2: on the name. They might be focusing on the next
Speaker 2: question that they're going to ask the person that they
Speaker 2: just met, Oh, how do you know X, Y and Z,
Speaker 2: But they're not listening to oh, hi, my name's William,
Speaker 2: Nice to meet you, right, So they don't focus on
Speaker 2: the name. So when you go to a party or
Speaker 2: an event, or you're at work or wherever it is,
Speaker 2: you're at social event and you're meeting somebody new, you
Speaker 2: have to go in and focus and say, Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: going to focus on the name, and I'm going to
Speaker 2: make sure I remember the name all right. And let's
Speaker 2: say the name is Joe, and you meet this person Joe,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna say, okay, Joe. First of all, when
Speaker 2: I meet you, you say, nice to meet you, Joe,
Speaker 2: So you're concentrating on his name. Then you're gonna repeat
Speaker 2: his name out loud, nice to meet you, Joe. Then
Speaker 2: what I do, which I think is The best way
Speaker 2: is I come up with an emotional connection to Joe.
Speaker 2: You know, like, unfortunately four years ago I lost one
Speaker 2: of my good friends, Joe Joey, sobado. I miss him
Speaker 2: every day. You know people say time heals, I literally
Speaker 2: think about him every day. In fact, you know, his
Speaker 2: anniversary is coming up. Wow, yeah, it's literally coming Actually
Speaker 2: it's now, it's gonna be five years. And so anytime
Speaker 2: I meet somebody Joe, it warms my heart and say, oh, Joey.
Speaker 2: I miss Joey so much. But I'm never gonna forget
Speaker 2: that person that I met Joey, because now I'm gonna
Speaker 2: associate it with my friend that I lost five years ago. Right,
Speaker 2: So come up with an emotional connection. It might be
Speaker 2: your mother's name. It might be your favorite actor, it
Speaker 2: might be your favorite football player. It might be even
Speaker 2: just a random thing like I met John in the
Speaker 2: bathroom right next to the John. So I'm visualizing, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm at the John. That's John, right. It could be
Speaker 2: anything like that, right, or William. You know he's a
Speaker 2: lawyer who writes Will's right. So it's like, oh, that's
Speaker 2: the emotional connection there. You know, there could be a
Speaker 2: million connections, but you got to create that connection yourself.
Speaker 2: You know, it could be a song, you know, whatever,
Speaker 2: it is, a famous song that has a name in it,
Speaker 2: you know, you know, like Michelle. I love the Beatles
Speaker 2: song Michelle. So anytime I meet a Michelle, I start
Speaker 2: singing the Beatles song. You know. I met a lady
Speaker 2: who was walking her dog, Eileen, and then every time
Speaker 2: I see her, I start singing, come on, Eileen. So
Speaker 2: you get an emotional connection, but you gotta focus on that,
Speaker 2: and you gotta have purpose, right, You got to focus
Speaker 2: on your task at hand. And if you're already bad
Speaker 2: at focusing, you've got to make up for that. And
Speaker 2: you're gonna say, going into you gotta visualize. Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna focus. I'm gonna remember this person's name or whatever
Speaker 2: it is. A phone number. I'm gonna remember that phone
Speaker 2: number that you know, I passed and ad on the
Speaker 2: you know building, and they had a phone number. How
Speaker 2: might I remember that phone number? Because I'm driving now,
Speaker 2: I don't have time to put it in my phone,
Speaker 2: so I gotta remember the phone number. So I'm gonna
Speaker 2: come up with, Oh, that's you know the area CODEZ. Oh,
Speaker 2: it's a two one two, I know the New York
Speaker 2: I don't even have to worry about that. And then
Speaker 2: you know the first three numbers. Oh, that's my U
Speaker 2: address of my office, or that's my favorite baseball player's number,
Speaker 2: or that's the year you know my dad was born.
Speaker 2: Whatever it is. You come up with some strategy to
Speaker 2: remember that number, some story, some connection, hopefully an emotional
Speaker 2: connection to remember those numbers. I don't remember how easy
Speaker 2: it used to be to remember people's phone numbers. And
Speaker 2: you probably still remember your friend's phone numbers growing up,
Speaker 2: but you don't know their cell phone numbers because you
Speaker 2: never focused on it. You put no attention to it.
Speaker 2: And so you've got to purposely focus on the person's name.
Speaker 2: You gotta repeat the name, you gotta come up with
Speaker 2: a story. You could do it. Your brain has that power.
Speaker 2: Your brain is more powerful than you ever could imagine.
Speaker 2: A good exercise to help with focus is listening to
Speaker 2: music but only listening to one instrument. Right, So you
Speaker 2: listen to some Beatles song but only listen to the drums,
Speaker 2: and you focus on the drums, and the drums will
Speaker 2: suddenly become very loud, and the guitars and the bass,
Speaker 2: they'll become very low. The lyrics, the voices, they'll become low.
Speaker 2: And the drums. If all you do is focus on
Speaker 2: those drums, they'll become louder, and that increases your brain
Speaker 2: ability to focus. So you focus on one sound while
Speaker 2: listening to music. Practice mindfulness. That's focusing on only one
Speaker 2: thing at a time. If you're at the gym, you're
Speaker 2: only focused on the gym. Don't text at the gym.
Speaker 2: Don't call your spouse at the gym. Don't send some emails.
Speaker 2: Don't watch video, don't watch the news. Focus on the gym.
Speaker 2: Focus on the contraction of your muscles, on your heartbeat,
Speaker 2: on your respiration, on the sweat. When you're eating dinner,
Speaker 2: focus on eating. Don't watch TV. Don't read the newspaper.
Speaker 2: Don't scroll on your phone. Focus on the color of
Speaker 2: the food you're eating, the smell, the texture. When you're
Speaker 2: at work, focus on work. Don't be making personal texts
Speaker 2: or calls. When you're reading a book, focus on the book.
Speaker 2: Don't have the TV on in the background. That's mindfulness.
Speaker 2: When you're having a conversation, the only person you should
Speaker 2: be focused on is the person you're talking to. Shouldn't
Speaker 2: be thinking about anything else. You shouldn't be doing anything else.
Speaker 2: You shouldn't be looking at your phone, shouldn't be looking
Speaker 2: at the newspaper, shouldn't be watched TV. You turn off
Speaker 2: everything and you look at them, and you focus on them.
Speaker 2: That's mindfulness, one thing at a time. Everyone likes to multitask.
Speaker 2: That's not good for your brain. It's not good for focus.
Speaker 2: People's brains are too distracted these days. The attention span
Speaker 2: used to be seven seconds. Now it's down to five seconds.
Speaker 2: It's going down to four and three. Our tensions are
Speaker 2: getting worse and worse and worse. So you gotta practice
Speaker 2: mindfulness for focus. There's good eye exercises you could do
Speaker 2: for focus, super easy. They're called no, No, yes, yes.
Speaker 2: All you gotta do is find a dot on the
Speaker 2: wall on a painting anything. Just look at it, straight ahead,
Speaker 2: eye level, arm's length, focus on that dot. You could
Speaker 2: just put a post note with a little dot and
Speaker 2: slowly turn your head right and left, keeping your eyes
Speaker 2: focused on the dot. You do that ten times left
Speaker 2: and right. That's a no no, and then ten times
Speaker 2: up and down that's a yes yes. And you do
Speaker 2: that three times. That's a good focusing exercise, focus on
Speaker 2: the dot, slowly turn your head right and left, and
Speaker 2: then slowly go up and down. Another good focus exercise,
Speaker 2: do a piece sign with your right hand, you know,
Speaker 2: like the piece two fingers. Then with the other hand
Speaker 2: do an OK sign, you know, where you touch your
Speaker 2: index finger to your thumb, make a little circle, and
Speaker 2: the three other fingers are sticking up. So on one
Speaker 2: hand you have a peace sign, one hand you have
Speaker 2: an OK sign, and you count to three, say one, two, three,
Speaker 2: and then switch it so the other hand does the
Speaker 2: peace sign and the other hand does the okay sign.
Speaker 2: That's a focus exercise. There's so many neurologic exercises that
Speaker 2: I can give you to improve your focus. But what
Speaker 2: you want to do is figure out specifically where the
Speaker 2: problems are, so you want to do neurologic testing. The
Speaker 2: best neurologic test is called a qEEG brain mapping. This
Speaker 2: is where you wear a cap that has electrodes attached
Speaker 2: to it and it measures all your brain waves. Just
Speaker 2: like you could do an EKG to measure your heart waves,
Speaker 2: we have what's called an EEG which measures your brain waves,
Speaker 2: your alpha brain waves, your beta, your theta, your delta,
Speaker 2: and it literally tells us which areas of the brain
Speaker 2: are not functioning well. And it will literally say you
Speaker 2: have troubles with focus, or you have troubles with memory,
Speaker 2: or you get distracted, or you have difficulties shifting tasks,
Speaker 2: or it's working memory or short term memory, your sequential
Speaker 2: memory or long term memory. So literally would tell us
Speaker 2: what parts of the brain are not working. Even if
Speaker 2: you have depression, anxiety. It'll tell us if you have
Speaker 2: balance problems, if you have inflammation in your brain, if
Speaker 2: you have a thyroid problem, if you have intestinal inflammation.
Speaker 2: Do you have low dopamine or low acetyl coling, do
Speaker 2: you have traumatic brain injury, concussion, you have pathologies, do
Speaker 2: you have having metal poisoning? This qEEG Brain Mapping picks
Speaker 2: this all up. It's normally five hundred dollars, but we're
Speaker 2: going to do a special for the first seven people
Speaker 2: that call, text or email. You could get the entire
Speaker 2: qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. And there's
Speaker 2: no radiation, there's no tube, there's no contrast fluid, no
Speaker 2: side effects, super easy, super quick. Take advantage of this offer.
Speaker 2: You could come to our new Jersey office our New
Speaker 2: York office. Give us a call six four six two
Speaker 2: two one six seven three eight. You could text that
Speaker 2: number as well. Just say you want to be one
Speaker 2: of the first seven people for the twenty one dollars
Speaker 2: qEEG brain mapping. If you don't want to do that,
Speaker 2: you can also email info at kaplanbraininbody dot com. As
Speaker 2: long as you say you're one of the first seven
Speaker 2: and you won the first seven, you could do it
Speaker 2: via email as well if that's easiest for you. Now,
Speaker 2: the next very important test is called a VNG videos deemography,
Speaker 2: and that is very good because that tells us which
Speaker 2: areas of the brain are underactive and which areas are underactive.
Speaker 2: So when you have troubles with focus, it could be
Speaker 2: an underactive you know, right frontal cortex where you can't focus,
Speaker 2: or it could be an overactive left frontal cortex. We
Speaker 2: have too many thoughts and too many distractions. So the
Speaker 2: VNG is great for picking up which areas are underactive
Speaker 2: and which areas are overactive. If it's overactive, you might
Speaker 2: have anxiety, you might have insomnia, you might have mind raising,
Speaker 2: you might have heart palpitations, you might have stress and
Speaker 2: inflammation and muscle spasm and pain. If it's underactive, you
Speaker 2: might have low motivation or focus, poor memory, depression, fatigue.
Speaker 2: The VNG is amazing at picking up these issues because
Speaker 2: it says is that the right side is the left side,
Speaker 2: which lobe, which is under, which is over and again.
Speaker 2: This test also has no radiation, Super quick, super easy.
Speaker 2: You just got to wear these goggles that have infrared
Speaker 2: cameras that measure your movements. They go fast and slow
Speaker 2: and up and down, super easy, non invasive, no radiation.
Speaker 2: This test is also normally five hundred dollars, but for
Speaker 2: the first seven people to call, text or email you
Speaker 2: can get the VNG for only twenty one dollars. The
Speaker 2: number is six four six two two one, six seven
Speaker 2: three eight. The email is info at kaplinbraininbody dot com.
Speaker 2: The third test is a one on one with me
Speaker 2: where we go over the EEG, we go over the VNG,
Speaker 2: We go over your blood work. We check out your memory,
Speaker 2: your posture, your alignment, your reflexes, your heart, your lungs,
Speaker 2: your gut, your balance, your inflammation, your eyes, your ears.
Speaker 2: We do a complete evaluation. It's normally five hundred dollars,
Speaker 2: but for the first seven people to call, text or email,
Speaker 2: you could get the one on one with me, yours truly,
Speaker 2: Doctor Eric Kaplan, and ask me any health questions or
