00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>The following is a paid podcast. iHeartRadio's hosting of this

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:07.799
<v Speaker 1>podcast constitutes neither an endorsement of the products offered or

<v Speaker 1>the ideas expressed.

4
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This

5
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:18.600
<v Speaker 2>is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your

6
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 2>brain power. One of the most common questions I receive

7
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.879
<v Speaker 2>is how can I lose weight? Now, I'm the type

8
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>of doctor that's going to help you lose weight in

9
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 2>a natural way. I'm not the type of doctor that

10
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>writes a prescription for ozembic or these diabetes medication. There's

11
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>all these celebrities and famous people and all these marketing gimmicks.

12
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 2>Are you helping you with? Well, here's the deal. When

13
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 2>you lose weight with ozembic or these diabetes medication, you

14
00:00:53.679 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 2>lose eighty percent muscle and only twenty percent fat. That's

15
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:06.239
<v Speaker 2>very unhealthy. When you lose weight in a natural way

16
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 2>without medication, just by creating good habits, you're gonna lose

17
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>eighty percent fat and only twenty percent muscle. That's the

18
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 2>way to do it. If you take the medication and

19
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:25.319
<v Speaker 2>you lose eighty percent muscle, then you're gonna become weaker.

20
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Your bones are gonna become weaker. Your heart is a

21
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 2>muscle that's going to become weaker. Your intestines in your

22
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>digestive tract or muscles, those are gonna become weaker. Your

23
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.760
<v Speaker 2>brain is going to become weaker. You're more likely to

24
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>get osteoporosis. Okay, so you don't want to take these

25
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>pills and lose all your muscle. That's very dangerous for

26
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 2>your cardiovascular system, for your gastro intestinal system, for your

27
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>muscular scale system, really dangerous when you lose weight. The

28
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 2>way I'm gonna teach you, you're gonna lose all the

29
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 2>bad stuff. You're gonna lose the fat, but keep the

30
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>good stuff, all the muscle, all right. That way you

31
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>ensure not getting heart disease, not getting diabetes, not getting obesity,

32
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:33.199
<v Speaker 2>preventing Alzheimer's dementia. I do it the right way. You

33
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 2>got to create good habits. Now, I'm not the type

34
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 2>of doctor that teaches you some diet fab right, So

35
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna say, Okay, I want you to do

36
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 2>the keto, or I want you to do Atkins, or

37
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 2>I want you to do paleo, or I want you to

38
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>be a carnivore or I want you to be a vegan.

39
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I want you to do the blood type diet, or

40
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I want you to count calories, or I want you

41
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>to do this percent fat, this percent carbs, this percent protein,

42
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.719
<v Speaker 2>or I want you to you know, go according to

43
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 2>some blood work that you did. So what we're gonna

44
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 2>do is just teach you how to eat normal, healthy

45
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>way like they've done for thousands of years. It's just

46
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 2>eating from the earth the way we've always done it,

47
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 2>not from the factory. You eat from the earth. What

48
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 2>do I mean? What do I mean by that? One ingredient? Foods?

49
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>You want an apple? Have an apple? You want a

50
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 2>piece of broccoli, Have a broccoli. You want a carrot,

51
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Have a carrot. You want an egg, have an egg?

52
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Want a piece of fish, Have a piece of fish,

53
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>piece of meat, piece of chicken, a piece of turkey.

54
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 2>One ingredient, Right, you're not getting things in boxes that

55
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>list ten ingredients. That's not natural. You get it from

56
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 2>the earth. That's the only way I want you to

57
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 2>eat is anything that comes from the earth. If it's

58
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:18.720
<v Speaker 2>in a box or a bag or a can stay

59
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 2>away from it. If it's directly from the earth, that's fine,

60
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 2>And what I mean by that. No bread. There's no

61
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 2>bread tree that you just get directly from the earth.

62
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 2>No dairy, there's no milk bush, nothing in a box,

63
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:45.319
<v Speaker 2>no cereals, no oatmeals, no crackers, no muffins, no bagels,

64
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 2>no pastries, no candy. They're all more than one ingredient.

65
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 2>When you go to the supermarket, you stay on the outside,

66
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 2>stay away from the aisles. Nothing good on the isles.

67
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 2>It's not complicated to create these good habits. People come

68
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.319
<v Speaker 2>up to me and say, doctor Kaplan, what do you eat?

69
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 2>And my response to them is I eat food. I

70
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 2>eat real food from the earth. Anything that's from the earth,

71
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll eat. If it's not from the earth, I try

72
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.199
<v Speaker 2>and stay away from it. If I can't pick it

73
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.160
<v Speaker 2>from a bush or a tree or the root, not

74
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna have it. You gotta stay away from all the

75
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>processed foods. How do you think they stay in boxes

76
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 2>and cans for so long. I want food that molds.

77
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Mold is good, that means it's real. If you're getting

78
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.480
<v Speaker 2>food that could just stay in your cabinet for days

79
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 2>and weeks and months, that's a little scary. And I

80
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 2>want food that molds. Notice when you buy you know,

81
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:07.920
<v Speaker 2>organic food. It molds much quicker than gmo foods. You

82
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.319
<v Speaker 2>can have these gmo foods that take weeks to start molding.

83
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.759
<v Speaker 2>That's a little scary. I'd rather buy organic and know

84
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:19.399
<v Speaker 2>it's real. It's a little bit more expensive, but it's

85
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Speaker 2>worth it. The only money I spend is on health,

86
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 2>and that includes vacation, that includes buying organic, that includes

87
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 2>my gym membership. These are all part of your health, right.

88
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:44.199
<v Speaker 2>We need to stay healthy and create good habits. So

89
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:49.879
<v Speaker 2>my first way to lose weight really quickly. It's not

90
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.959
<v Speaker 2>a diet, it's literally just eating real food. Try it.

91
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Your life will change if all you do is eat

92
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 2>real foods, not rocket science. You just have to eat

93
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.720
<v Speaker 2>food from the earth the way they've always done it,

94
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:14.319
<v Speaker 2>directly from the earth, and get organic. Even if it's organic,

95
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 2>there's gonna be stuff on there. So when you get home,

96
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.920
<v Speaker 2>get your foods, get your veggies, throw them in a bowl,

97
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>fill it up with water, put some baking soda in there.

98
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 2>The baking soda will take out all the bad chemicals.

99
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:30.959
<v Speaker 2>You just got to do for ten minutes, doesn't even

100
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>have to be that long, and then pour out the

101
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.879
<v Speaker 2>water in the bowl. Wash everything, clean it off, and

102
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>store it in the glass containers not plastic. You know,

103
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.759
<v Speaker 2>when you get it from the supermarket, make sure you

104
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>store it in plastic. I mean in glass, not plastic,

105
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>because the plastics leak into the food. These plastics are

106
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:12.519
<v Speaker 2>endocrine disruptors. Plastics will prevent you from losing weight. If

107
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.600
<v Speaker 2>you get rid of your plastics. If that's the only

108
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:19.199
<v Speaker 2>thing you did, you would lose weight. I had a

109
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>patient she lost twenty pounds in three months just by

110
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.560
<v Speaker 2>getting rid of plastics, plastic water bottle, plastic food containers,

111
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:34.600
<v Speaker 2>plastic storage, plastic wrap. Got rid of all of her plastics.

112
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>It's the only thing she did. Imagine if she did

113
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 2>the plastics plus eating from the earth, then she would

114
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 2>lose probably thirty pounds instead of twenty pounds. So start

115
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:55.600
<v Speaker 2>eating only from the earth. And a lot of patients

116
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:59.039
<v Speaker 2>are confused because they say, oh, they always read these things.

117
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh the foods not as good as it used to be,

118
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:06.200
<v Speaker 2>so I don't get the nutrients that I did. Well,

119
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:08.559
<v Speaker 2>you could just check your blood work. You don't have

120
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.960
<v Speaker 2>to guess you look at your blood work, look at

121
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:15.440
<v Speaker 2>your calcium levels. If your calcium levels are low, then

122
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.840
<v Speaker 2>you're not getting enough calcium. You're not getting it through

123
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>your food. That's very rare. I don't see that often.

124
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:26.879
<v Speaker 2>It's very rare that I see calcium being low. I

125
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:32.399
<v Speaker 2>see vitamin D being low all the time. That's very common.

126
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 2>We get vitamin D from the sun and most people

127
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.159
<v Speaker 2>are inside all day, and most people wear long sleeves

128
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:44.200
<v Speaker 2>and glasses and hats and they cover their skin. So

129
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.519
<v Speaker 2>of course you're not going to get the proper amount

130
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.159
<v Speaker 2>of vitamin D. Not in New York, not in New Jersey.

131
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.519
<v Speaker 2>If you're living in the Caribbean and you're outside all day,

132
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.360
<v Speaker 2>you're living by the equator. In Africa and India, yeah

133
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.399
<v Speaker 2>you're going to get a lot of vit in D,

134
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.679
<v Speaker 2>but not here. So we see that very common. But

135
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.200
<v Speaker 2>the only way to know is to check your blood work.

136
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 2>So I have checked my blood work and yes, I'm

137
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 2>vitamin D deficient. So yes, I do supplement with vitamin D.

138
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.000
<v Speaker 2>But that's it. It's the only thing I supplement. And

139
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 2>you should only have one or two supplements. That's it.

140
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>If you're taking twelve supplements and think you're healthy, you're not.

141
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 2>How many people come to me taking oh, I take

142
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>seven eight nine, ten, twelve, fifteen supplements, and they say

143
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm super healthy. I take all these supplements. If you're healthy,

144
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:46.480
<v Speaker 2>you don't need supplements. Do you understand that if you're healthy,

145
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:51.080
<v Speaker 2>you don't need supplements. Supplements do not make you healthy.

146
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.080
<v Speaker 2>That means you're not healthy, because if you were healthy,

147
00:10:55.080 --> 00:11:00.240
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't need supplements. You don't need supplements. That's why

148
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 2>they're called supplements. They're supposed to supplement your deficiencies. But

149
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.519
<v Speaker 2>if you're healthy, you don't have deficiencies. I am more

150
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.919
<v Speaker 2>of a natural doctor than you'll ever meet, because I

151
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:18.399
<v Speaker 2>don't want you on vitamins or supplements either. I don't

152
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.519
<v Speaker 2>want you on herbs and homeopathic. So when people think natural,

153
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:30.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times they think supplements, herbs, vitamins, homeopathic remedies,

154
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:35.480
<v Speaker 2>herbal remedies. How about no remedies. How About you're not

155
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.480
<v Speaker 2>treating anything. How about you're not sick and you're just healthy,

156
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:44.000
<v Speaker 2>so you don't need to take anything. Taking melatonin to

157
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:48.840
<v Speaker 2>help you sleep is not healthy just because it's natural.

158
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 2>Natural does not mean healthy. So the healthiest people are

159
00:11:55.960 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the one that take the least medicine, the least vitamin

160
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:05.399
<v Speaker 2>see the least doctors, see the least hospital visits to

161
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.320
<v Speaker 2>the least X rays, MRIs tests. Those are the healthiest

162
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.879
<v Speaker 2>people who do not see doctors, and that way you

163
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:19.799

183
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:37.840
<v Speaker 2>brain power now. Currently, a lot of people come to

184
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:47.879
<v Speaker 2>me for anxiety, and people are stressed out, especially right

185
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:53.440
<v Speaker 2>now after the election, and then there's holidays coming up

186
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:59.240
<v Speaker 2>and people are losing loved ones. I've never seen so

187
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:02.919
<v Speaker 2>many people die recently. There's a lot of deaths and

188
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.080
<v Speaker 2>this is creating a lot of mood disorders, a lot

189
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.919
<v Speaker 2>of stress, a lot of anxiety, a lot of depression.

190
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.840
<v Speaker 2>But especially in this Northeast area, anxiety is an epidemic.

191
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.159
<v Speaker 2>And it's with kids too. A lot of children, young

192
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:24.279
<v Speaker 2>adolescents and teenagers and college kids are really having stress

193
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.960
<v Speaker 2>and anxiety. And then you have these mothers that are

194
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.639
<v Speaker 2>worried about their kids and taking care of the house

195
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 2>and taking care of their husbands and a lot of

196
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:40.399
<v Speaker 2>stress trying to be a working mother, the cook, to clean,

197
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.799
<v Speaker 2>the wife, the mom, the daughter, the sisters. So a

198
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 2>lot of these, you know, thirty forty fifty year old

199
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:56.039
<v Speaker 2>mothers are having severe anxiety disorders. And I want to

200
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:57.559
<v Speaker 2>help both. I want to help the kids, I want

201
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:03.519
<v Speaker 2>to help the adults. You have to take control of anxiety.

202
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.440
<v Speaker 2>It's not something that you want to ruminate on. And

203
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:12.720
<v Speaker 2>you have a paradigm shift that's important. And if you

204
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.279
<v Speaker 2>look for all the stresses in life, that's what you'll see.

205
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 2>So what we have to do is have a paradigm shift.

206
00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:23.360
<v Speaker 2>And it's difficult because negativity is five more five times

207
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:32.120
<v Speaker 2>more powerful than positivity. So if you are worried about

208
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.639
<v Speaker 2>your kit, all right, one of the things you should

209
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:40.440
<v Speaker 2>do is give them five positive feedbacks before you have

210
00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:44.200
<v Speaker 2>some negative criticism. You know. So let's say in the

211
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:49.600
<v Speaker 2>morning and you say, okay, good job waking up and

212
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:53.200
<v Speaker 2>making your bed right away. That's one positive thing. And

213
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.519
<v Speaker 2>then you say, good job doing all your homework last night.

214
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:03.120
<v Speaker 2>That's two positive things. And number three, good job brushing

215
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:07.799
<v Speaker 2>your teeth in the morning, good job getting your backpack

216
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:13.200
<v Speaker 2>prepared for school, and good job getting dressed and looking

217
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:16.039
<v Speaker 2>nice and mean and washing your face and your hands.

218
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 2>So I give good five compliments to my child. Now

219
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:25.879
<v Speaker 2>I say, oh, I gotta looked on your grades, and

220
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:27.919
<v Speaker 2>you know you didn't do as good as you should

221
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:33.120
<v Speaker 2>have on that math test. You know, we thought you

222
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.000
<v Speaker 2>should have studied more, but you said you knew it

223
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:36.879
<v Speaker 2>and look at your great So then we do the

224
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.919
<v Speaker 2>criticism there. But you got to have those five positive

225
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:44.159
<v Speaker 2>things first, right. You know, I'm dealing with my wife. Oh,

226
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.279
<v Speaker 2>dinner was great last night. And thanks for you know,

227
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.480
<v Speaker 2>picking up the kids at soccer. I was stuck at

228
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:56.039
<v Speaker 2>work last night. And wow, you look so beautiful. I

229
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.120
<v Speaker 2>love the way you did your hair. Thank you, Thank

230
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.799
<v Speaker 2>you so much for being such a great wife and

231
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:10.160
<v Speaker 2>so loving. And you are such a great daughter. I

232
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.400
<v Speaker 2>can't believe how much you take care of your mom.

233
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Five good things, and then I could say, oh, sweetie,

234
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:18.880
<v Speaker 2>can you make sure you yeah, you know, take your

235
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:21.519
<v Speaker 2>bras out of the bathroom in the morning. I don't like,

236
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, having the clothes all over the place. Then

237
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.440
<v Speaker 2>we could do a criticism. So you got to do

238
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:33.039
<v Speaker 2>five good things for one criticism. Most people will do

239
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:38.240
<v Speaker 2>five criticisms, five negative things and one good thing if that,

240
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:42.319
<v Speaker 2>especially with our loved ones where we get very comfortable

241
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:47.920
<v Speaker 2>with them, but they need to know the good things too.

242
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:53.000
<v Speaker 2>That's very important because when you give a compliment and

243
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:55.720
<v Speaker 2>you seebody and you see somebody smile, that reduces your

244
00:17:55.759 --> 00:18:01.039
<v Speaker 2>stress and anxiety. When you give a compliment the person

245
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:05.359
<v Speaker 2>you give the compliment to, it reduces their stress and anxiety.

246
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.519
<v Speaker 2>And then if my kids witness it, it brings down

247
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:13.920
<v Speaker 2>their stress and anxiety. So when I compliment my wife,

248
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 2>my anxiety reduces, my wife's anxiety reduces, and my kid's

249
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:21.680
<v Speaker 2>anxiety reduces. The person who gives the compliment gets help,

250
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 2>the person who gets the compliment gets help, and the

251
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:28.279
<v Speaker 2>person who witnesses the compliment also gets a benefit of

252
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:32.480
<v Speaker 2>their brain. So start being the person that gives five

253
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:35.599
<v Speaker 2>positive things for every one negative thing. You need a

254
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:40.720
<v Speaker 2>five to one ratio. And when you say it out

255
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 2>loud more powerful. Right, If you text message it, okay,

256
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.000
<v Speaker 2>that's good, but if you say it out loud, it's

257
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:54.079
<v Speaker 2>ten times more powerful than an email or a text

258
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:58.599
<v Speaker 2>message or a Facebook comment. You get the idea. So

259
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:01.359
<v Speaker 2>you got to say it out loud. And that's when

260
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:04.640
<v Speaker 2>you're talking about yourself too. Right, You got to say

261
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:10.759
<v Speaker 2>five positive things about yourself before you have one negative criticism,

262
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.359
<v Speaker 2>and you have to say it out loud. You say, Oh,

263
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm smart, I'm good looking, I help people, I'm charitable,

264
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:29.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm loving, and you know I should exercise more. Right,

265
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:31.839
<v Speaker 2>don't always have these things. Oh I need to exercise more,

266
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:35.319
<v Speaker 2>I need to lose weight, I need to make more money.

267
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:42.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, Start telling yourself your good things first, right

268
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:47.920
<v Speaker 2>when you wake up you say five good things, and

269
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:53.079
<v Speaker 2>then you can have one criticism. Right. That is a

270
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:57.559
<v Speaker 2>paradigm shift. You look for the good, you'll see the good.

271
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.880
<v Speaker 2>If you look for the bad, you'll see the bad.

272
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:06.400
<v Speaker 2>The mind is powerful. You see health, you'll be healthier.

273
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:13.279
<v Speaker 2>You see sick, you'll be sicker. You see money, you'll

274
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:19.359
<v Speaker 2>be richer. You see poverty, you'll be poor. It's what

275
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:24.200
<v Speaker 2>you believe. Your mind is more powerful than you could

276
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:28.000
<v Speaker 2>ever imagine. But you got to believe. Whatever you is.

277
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:31.200
<v Speaker 2>You want to accomplish. You want to have a better relationship,

278
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:35.759
<v Speaker 2>you visualize it. You want to have more spirituality, you

279
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:40.759
<v Speaker 2>visualize it. You want to be better at pickle ball,

280
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:44.960
<v Speaker 2>you visualize that ball going in. You want to get

281
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.559
<v Speaker 2>a promotion at work, you visualize it. You want that

282
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, office corner with the nice view, you visualize it.

283
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:58.200
<v Speaker 2>You want to lose weight, you visualize it. Your mind

284
00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:02.640
<v Speaker 2>is powerful. You create that every day. Whatever you want,

285
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what it is. You know, you want

286
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:08.720
<v Speaker 2>a new bicycle, you visualize it every day. So I'm

287
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:10.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna get that bike. I'm gonna get that bike. I'm

288
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:13.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna get that bike. I don't care what it is.

289
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:16.599
<v Speaker 2>You want a new house. You visualize that new house.

290
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:20.359
<v Speaker 2>You want a new car, you visualize it. You want

291
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:23.799
<v Speaker 2>to get a raise, you visualize it. You create that.

292
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:29.400
<v Speaker 2>But if you start visualizing cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, you

293
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.000
<v Speaker 2>start thinking about that, you're creating that in your brain.

294
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Whatever you resist persists, So start going towards the stuff

295
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:44.599
<v Speaker 2>that you want. Now. Another thing for anxiety is distraction.

296
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:49.640
<v Speaker 2>The key to anxiety is distraction. So if you want

297
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:54.039
<v Speaker 2>to stop stressing about a certain thing that you're thinking about,

298
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:59.519
<v Speaker 2>change your scenery. If you're in the kitchen and then

299
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:03.400
<v Speaker 2>you're where you know, you're thinking about the election and

300
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:05.319
<v Speaker 2>who won and what are you gonna do and whatever

301
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:07.839
<v Speaker 2>it is, you're getting all anxious. Your heart starts beating,

302
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:12.200
<v Speaker 2>your mind starts racing. Change the scenery. Go get the dog,

303
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:16.559
<v Speaker 2>go outside for a walk, Go downstairs to debatement and

304
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.680
<v Speaker 2>do ten pushups. I don't care what it is. Go

305
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:24.200
<v Speaker 2>up to the bedroom, read a book that you've been into.

306
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Go to the living room, put on some music that

307
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.839
<v Speaker 2>you like. Go talk to your spouse, talk to your kid,

308
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.119
<v Speaker 2>ask them about their homework, a's them about their day. Like,

309
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.720
<v Speaker 2>distract yourself. If you can help somebody else. Even better,

310
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:42.079
<v Speaker 2>call your parents and say, hey, guys, I'm gonna come over.

311
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything I could get for you? The key

312
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to anxiety is distraction. Get out of that scene, get

313
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:58.359
<v Speaker 2>out of that room, get out of that conversation. Don't

314
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:03.640
<v Speaker 2>ruminate on it. You need to leave the room talking

315
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:08.599
<v Speaker 2>to yourself and saying Okay, calm down, everything's gonna be okay,

316
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:13.640
<v Speaker 2>you're fine, Just relax. That will not work, especially if

317
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:16.440
<v Speaker 2>somebody else says that too. You ever notice when you're

318
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:19.599
<v Speaker 2>stress and your anxiety and anxious and somebody says, hey, relax,

319
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:25.519
<v Speaker 2>calm down, that doesn't help, right, So you gotta distract yourself.

320
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.720
<v Speaker 2>So if I see somebody stress, I'm gonna say, hey,

321
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:31.079
<v Speaker 2>come on over here. Let's go outside. Let's shoot some

322
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 2>basketball hoops, Let's go for a walk, Let's take a hike.

323
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Let's go play with the dog. Take them to the dog, run,

324
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.480
<v Speaker 2>throw the tennis ball. Let's go take the kids out

325
00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:47.200
<v Speaker 2>to the park, let them play on the playground. Right,

326
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:51.319
<v Speaker 2>help others, do something for others. The key to anxiety

327
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:57.519
<v Speaker 2>is distraction, and if you do that, you'll function better,

346
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:20.039
<v Speaker 2>brain power now. One of the most common questions patients

347
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:24.200
<v Speaker 2>ask me is how can I improve my energy. There's

348
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:31.000
<v Speaker 2>so many people with fatigue, lack of energy, low motivation. Now,

349
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:34.200
<v Speaker 2>how are you gonna boost your energy? Well, it all

350
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:36.680
<v Speaker 2>starts from a good night's sleep. If you're not getting

351
00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:39.839
<v Speaker 2>good sleep, then obviously when you wake up, you're not

352
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:41.799
<v Speaker 2>gonna have a lot of energy. You need to wake

353
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.640
<v Speaker 2>up with energy ready to conquer the day. If you

354
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.759
<v Speaker 2>wake up all groggy, you want to press the snooze alarm,

355
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:52.200
<v Speaker 2>dragging out of bed, you need a coffee to get

356
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:55.680
<v Speaker 2>you going, which is the majority of people. That is

357
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:58.480
<v Speaker 2>not a good way to live. There is something wrong

358
00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:01.319
<v Speaker 2>with that you need coffee to get you up in

359
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:05.200
<v Speaker 2>the morning. There's an issue with that. Your body has

360
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:08.079
<v Speaker 2>all the energy it needs. It doesn't need it synthetically,

361
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:13.160
<v Speaker 2>whether it's through coffee or red Bull or any type

362
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:19.119
<v Speaker 2>of caffeine stimulant sugar. We need to get our own

363
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:23.680
<v Speaker 2>energy from our body. It's in there, we just have

364
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:27.880
<v Speaker 2>to unleash its potential. So getting a good night's sleep

365
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:31.640
<v Speaker 2>is important. That's your circadium rhythms. Now. One of the

366
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:35.640
<v Speaker 2>easiest ways to get your circadium rhythms in order is

367
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:39.519
<v Speaker 2>using the laws of the sun, and all that means

368
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:43.119
<v Speaker 2>is keep it real simple. So when the sun's out,

369
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.319
<v Speaker 2>that's when you're active. When the sun's down, that's when

370
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:51.359
<v Speaker 2>you relax. All right, So all your activities should be

371
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:54.599
<v Speaker 2>done during the daylight hours. That's the way they've done

372
00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:59.079
<v Speaker 2>it for thousands of years until electricity was invented. So

373
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:04.960
<v Speaker 2>your energy should be during the day. Your cortisol needs

374
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:07.480
<v Speaker 2>to be high in the morning to give you energy.

375
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Your cortisol should be low at night so you could

376
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.359
<v Speaker 2>get a good night's sleep. If your cortisol levels are

377
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.440
<v Speaker 2>high at night, then you're not gonna get a good sleep.

378
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Then you're not gonna wake up well rested. What things

379
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:29.640
<v Speaker 2>increase cortisol at night. Number one is food. Don't eat

380
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:32.720
<v Speaker 2>food at night. If you want energy during the day,

381
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:42.559
<v Speaker 2>you want four hours after dinner before bedtime. So idealistically,

382
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:46.599
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna keep it real simple. You want to sleep

383
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:51.119
<v Speaker 2>from ten pm to six am. That's your perfect eight

384
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:58.000
<v Speaker 2>hours of sleep. That's ideal ten pm to six am.

385
00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Now we also want to eat eat from ten am

386
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:09.200
<v Speaker 2>to six pm. So we're sleeping when it's darkest ten

387
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:14.359
<v Speaker 2>pm to six am, and we're eating when it's lightest

388
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:20.039
<v Speaker 2>ten am to six pm. Therefore, when you're done eating

389
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:26.160
<v Speaker 2>by six pm, you have four hours before bedtime, so

390
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:31.400
<v Speaker 2>from six pm to ten pm, no food. We need

391
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:35.279
<v Speaker 2>to digest our dinner, We need to absorb those nutrients.

392
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:40.799
<v Speaker 2>We need to relax, We need to chill out and

393
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:43.920
<v Speaker 2>calm our brains down, so you get in what we

394
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:48.279
<v Speaker 2>call the rest and digest. We don't want to be

395
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:53.200
<v Speaker 2>high cortisol levels in the fight or flight, so we

396
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:56.599
<v Speaker 2>need to be in a calm, relaxed rest and digesting.

397
00:28:57.400 --> 00:28:59.680
<v Speaker 2>So number one way to get in the rest and

398
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:05.359
<v Speaker 2>digest is to not eat from six pm to ten pm.

399
00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Then you sleep from ten pm to six am. Now,

400
00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:12.079
<v Speaker 2>not only do we want to do what's called intermittent

401
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:14.599
<v Speaker 2>fasting where you only eat eight hours during the day,

402
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:17.880
<v Speaker 2>which is the ten am to six pm, but you

403
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:25.880
<v Speaker 2>want to do intermittent electronic fasting, meaning electronics should be

404
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:30.480
<v Speaker 2>done by six pm as well. So if you got emails,

405
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:33.079
<v Speaker 2>you got work to do, you need to be on

406
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:36.480
<v Speaker 2>the computer. You want to sect your checks, messages, check

407
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:40.039
<v Speaker 2>your social media, the FaceTime. You want to go on YouTube,

408
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:43.079
<v Speaker 2>you want to go on TikTok, Instagram, whatever it is

409
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:45.400
<v Speaker 2>you do, just scroll in. I don't care what it is.

410
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:50.039
<v Speaker 2>But if you need to use electronics, Do it before

411
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:58.720
<v Speaker 2>six pm. Get everything done electronically before six pm, including television.

412
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.720
<v Speaker 2>You want to watch your favorite show on Netflix, do

413
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:06.880
<v Speaker 2>it before six pm. Do it in the morning if

414
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:10.720
<v Speaker 2>you want, but don't do it at night. If you

415
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:15.599
<v Speaker 2>watch TV at night, you're going to increase cortisol. If

416
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:21.240
<v Speaker 2>you eat at night, you're going to increase cortisol. If

417
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:26.119
<v Speaker 2>you read the newspaper and you're, you know, worried about

418
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:31.960
<v Speaker 2>racism and inflation and the election, and you're worried about

419
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:35.039
<v Speaker 2>the fires and the hurricanes and the tornadoes and the

420
00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:39.480
<v Speaker 2>murders and the crime and the violence, and the World

421
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:42.839
<v Speaker 2>War III and Ukraine and Israel. If that's what you're

422
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:46.960
<v Speaker 2>reading right before bed, or if you're listening to the

423
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:51.960
<v Speaker 2>radio the news right before bed, or even worse, if

424
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:57.640
<v Speaker 2>you're watching TV. So then you're getting the light from

425
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:02.799
<v Speaker 2>the TV and the anxiety the news reporting. So you

426
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.319
<v Speaker 2>have to stop watching electronics at night. That includes your phone,

427
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:13.160
<v Speaker 2>that includes your computer, your TV. That's a paradigm shit.

428
00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Most people work during the day, then eat at night,

429
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:22.039
<v Speaker 2>and then watch TV or go on to computer or

430
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.279
<v Speaker 2>scroll on their cell phone. That's the worst recipe for disaster.

431
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:30.759
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna increase cordus all at night. That's going to

432
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:35.960
<v Speaker 2>interrupt your deep sleep, it's gonna mess up your circadium rhythms,

433
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.079
<v Speaker 2>and you're gonna have decrease energy. So if you want

434
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:45.240
<v Speaker 2>to have more energy throughout the day, turn off all

435
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:49.880
<v Speaker 2>your electronics after six pm, don't eat after six pm,

436
00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:54.880
<v Speaker 2>go to bed at ten pm. And now's the perfect

437
00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:58.480
<v Speaker 2>time with the clocks changing, because if you're used to

438
00:31:58.559 --> 00:32:01.599
<v Speaker 2>going to bed at eleven, now you could go to

439
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:05.920
<v Speaker 2>bed at ten and it's the same thing. You could

440
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:08.559
<v Speaker 2>literally go to bed earlier. So a lot of my

441
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:12.400
<v Speaker 2>patients with sleeping difficulties, I'm letting them know this week

442
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.440
<v Speaker 2>is the perfect week to start going to bed earlier.

443
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:21.960
<v Speaker 2>If your bedtimes twelve, now it's actually eleven, So just

444
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:24.160
<v Speaker 2>go to bed at eleven and bam, you just started

445
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:28.240
<v Speaker 2>going to bed an hour earlier. And if your bedtime's eleven,

446
00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:30.799
<v Speaker 2>now it's the perfect time to switch it to ten.

447
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Take advantage of the stupid turn back the clock fall back,

448
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:42.359
<v Speaker 2>take advantage of it. I don't believe in it, but

449
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:45.920
<v Speaker 2>since they do it, start going to bed earlier. Your

450
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:49.240
<v Speaker 2>brain doesn't know what time it is. Your brain just

451
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:53.400
<v Speaker 2>sees the sun. But if you're inside, it doesn't see

452
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:57.799
<v Speaker 2>the sun. So go outside three times a day to

453
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:01.400
<v Speaker 2>get your circadian rhythms in order. Most important times are

454
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Number one, sun rise, when you go outside during sunrise

455
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:08.880
<v Speaker 2>every morning. Now you're gonna increase your energy because your

456
00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:12.480
<v Speaker 2>brain sees the sun rising and it's gonna increase cortisol.

457
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Number two is sunset. So now if the brain is out,

458
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:21.839
<v Speaker 2>you gotta gotta go outside. Not looking out the window,

459
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:24.960
<v Speaker 2>so you physically gotta go outside see the whole sky

460
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:32.240
<v Speaker 2>for ten minutes during sunset. Now your brain sees, Okay,

461
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:36.519
<v Speaker 2>the sun's going down, it's getting darker. Now I'm going

462
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:41.519
<v Speaker 2>to decrease cortisol and I'm gonna increase melatonin. That's my

463
00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:46.359
<v Speaker 2>pineal gland does that. So if I use the sun now,

464
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:48.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have more energy during the day and I'm

465
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:54.119
<v Speaker 2>gonna get a deeper sleep at night. The third time

466
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:56.559
<v Speaker 2>for ten minutes is in the middle of the day when

467
00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:58.759
<v Speaker 2>the sun's right on top of us, twelve to two

468
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:03.240
<v Speaker 2>o'clock something like that. Lunchtime. Just go outside for ten minutes,

469
00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:06.079
<v Speaker 2>roll up your sleeves, roll up those pant legs, take

470
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.039
<v Speaker 2>off your glasses, take off your hat. Let that sun

471
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:12.239
<v Speaker 2>ray get on your skin, Let it touch your eyes.

472
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:17.360
<v Speaker 2>The more skin exposure the better. Now your brain says, okay,

473
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:21.440
<v Speaker 2>it's twelve o'clock. Cortisol level should be the highest. Right now,

474
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:23.880
<v Speaker 2>all right, we got the rest of the day. We

475
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:27.199
<v Speaker 2>got to increase our energy. So you want to give

476
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:29.199
<v Speaker 2>your boost of energy in the middle of the day.

477
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:32.599
<v Speaker 2>You go outside and get some sunlight during your lunchtime,

478
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:36.039
<v Speaker 2>just for ten minutes. That's it. Ten minutes sunrise, ten

479
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:41.719
<v Speaker 2>minutes lunchtime, ten minutes sunset. Use those circadium rhythms. That

480
00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:44.519
<v Speaker 2>way you'll get your deeper sleep. But if it's nine

481
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:48.800
<v Speaker 2>o'clock at night, you're eating food, all your lights are on,

482
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:53.320
<v Speaker 2>the TV's on, you're scrolling through your cell phone, you're

483
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:56.960
<v Speaker 2>on the computer. Your brain says, up, cortisol should be high,

484
00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:01.000
<v Speaker 2>right now, get all these lights. I'm eating must be daytime.

485
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:05.199
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea where the sun is because all

486
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:09.559
<v Speaker 2>these lights are on. So when you come back after

487
00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:15.000
<v Speaker 2>your walk from sunset, then you also want to turn

488
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:17.519
<v Speaker 2>off all your electronics. Right we said after six o'clock,

489
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:23.119
<v Speaker 2>no electronics. Also dim your lights. You could dim your

490
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:26.079
<v Speaker 2>lights at six o'clock and then seven o'clock did them

491
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:28.000
<v Speaker 2>even a little bit more, and then eight o'clock didn't

492
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.360
<v Speaker 2>them even more, And just use a desk lamp. And

493
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:35.320
<v Speaker 2>nine o'clock almost everything's off. Ten o'clock no lights. So

494
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:40.159
<v Speaker 2>get your brain to relax and calm down, and then

495
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:43.679
<v Speaker 2>you'll get in a deeper sleep and that'll increase your energy.

496
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:48.239
<v Speaker 2>And then when you wake up, exercise that boosts your testosteron,

497
00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:52.239
<v Speaker 2>boost your cortisol, gives you energy. And then after you

498
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:56.800
<v Speaker 2>shower after your exercise, turn it on cold. Do at

499
00:35:56.880 --> 00:36:02.440
<v Speaker 2>least thirty seconds of a cold shower. Then after you

500
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:05.880
<v Speaker 2>eat breakfast, go for a little walk. Don't go sitting

501
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:11.559
<v Speaker 2>on the computer straight to work. You need to walk

502
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:14.519
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. And then you got to do the

503
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:17.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty rule. The twenty rule is very important for energy.

504
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:21.039
<v Speaker 2>It's the most important rule. Every twenty minutes of sitting,

505
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:25.440
<v Speaker 2>you get up for twenty seconds, move your body, look

506
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:28.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty feet away, and then you can sit back down.

507
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:31.360
<v Speaker 2>That's the twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, you get up

508
00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:34.719
<v Speaker 2>for twenty seconds, you walk twenty feet whatever it is,

509
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:37.239
<v Speaker 2>you move your body for twenty seconds, you look twenty

510
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:39.199
<v Speaker 2>feet away, and then you could go back to work.

511
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:43.639
<v Speaker 2>That's the twenty rule to increase your energy to function better,

512
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:48.639
<v Speaker 2>feel better, and live a better life. This is doctor

530
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:03.880
<v Speaker 2>brain power. Now. A lot of patients ask me how

531
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:09.199
<v Speaker 2>can they improve their focus. A lot of issues with

532
00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:13.559
<v Speaker 2>memory isn't actually a problem with memory, but it's with focus.

533
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:19.880
<v Speaker 2>For example, when you're meeting someone. My biggest complaint I

534
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:24.960
<v Speaker 2>get from my patients, so I forget people's names because

535
00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:27.159
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the times it's focused, they're not focused

536
00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:31.320
<v Speaker 2>on the name. They might be focusing on the next

537
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:34.159
<v Speaker 2>question that they're going to ask the person that they

538
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:38.159
<v Speaker 2>just met, Oh, how do you know X, Y and Z,

539
00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:42.199
<v Speaker 2>But they're not listening to oh, hi, my name's William,

540
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Nice to meet you, right, So they don't focus on

541
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:49.960
<v Speaker 2>the name. So when you go to a party or

542
00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:53.000
<v Speaker 2>an event, or you're at work or wherever it is,

543
00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:56.360
<v Speaker 2>you're at social event and you're meeting somebody new, you

544
00:38:56.440 --> 00:38:59.360
<v Speaker 2>have to go in and focus and say, Okay, I'm

545
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:03.119
<v Speaker 2>going to focus on the name, and I'm going to

546
00:39:03.239 --> 00:39:08.320
<v Speaker 2>make sure I remember the name all right. And let's

547
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:15.280
<v Speaker 2>say the name is Joe, and you meet this person Joe,

548
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:19.559
<v Speaker 2>and you're gonna say, okay, Joe. First of all, when

549
00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I meet you, you say, nice to meet you, Joe,

550
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.760
<v Speaker 2>So you're concentrating on his name. Then you're gonna repeat

551
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:29.760
<v Speaker 2>his name out loud, nice to meet you, Joe. Then

552
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.400
<v Speaker 2>what I do, which I think is The best way

553
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:38.159
<v Speaker 2>is I come up with an emotional connection to Joe.

554
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:42.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, like, unfortunately four years ago I lost one

555
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:46.440
<v Speaker 2>of my good friends, Joe Joey, sobado. I miss him

556
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:49.639
<v Speaker 2>every day. You know people say time heals, I literally

557
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:51.719
<v Speaker 2>think about him every day. In fact, you know, his

558
00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:58.639
<v Speaker 2>anniversary is coming up. Wow, yeah, it's literally coming Actually

559
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:03.159
<v Speaker 2>it's now, it's gonna be five years. And so anytime

560
00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:07.840
<v Speaker 2>I meet somebody Joe, it warms my heart and say, oh, Joey.

561
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.320
<v Speaker 2>I miss Joey so much. But I'm never gonna forget

562
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:12.360
<v Speaker 2>that person that I met Joey, because now I'm gonna

563
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:17.719
<v Speaker 2>associate it with my friend that I lost five years ago. Right,

564
00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:20.639
<v Speaker 2>So come up with an emotional connection. It might be

565
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:25.280
<v Speaker 2>your mother's name. It might be your favorite actor, it

566
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:29.079
<v Speaker 2>might be your favorite football player. It might be even

567
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:35.519
<v Speaker 2>just a random thing like I met John in the

568
00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:39.000
<v Speaker 2>bathroom right next to the John. So I'm visualizing, Okay,

569
00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:42.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm at the John. That's John, right. It could be

570
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:48.719
<v Speaker 2>anything like that, right, or William. You know he's a

571
00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:53.360
<v Speaker 2>lawyer who writes Will's right. So it's like, oh, that's

572
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:56.840
<v Speaker 2>the emotional connection there. You know, there could be a

573
00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:00.559
<v Speaker 2>million connections, but you got to create that connection yourself.

574
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:06.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, it could be a song, you know, whatever,

575
00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:08.920
<v Speaker 2>it is, a famous song that has a name in it,

576
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:13.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, you know, like Michelle. I love the Beatles

577
00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:17.159
<v Speaker 2>song Michelle. So anytime I meet a Michelle, I start

578
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:21.400
<v Speaker 2>singing the Beatles song. You know. I met a lady

579
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:25.519
<v Speaker 2>who was walking her dog, Eileen, and then every time

580
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:29.360
<v Speaker 2>I see her, I start singing, come on, Eileen. So

581
00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:32.159
<v Speaker 2>you get an emotional connection, but you gotta focus on that,

582
00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:35.480
<v Speaker 2>and you gotta have purpose, right, You got to focus

583
00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:39.079
<v Speaker 2>on your task at hand. And if you're already bad

584
00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:40.639
<v Speaker 2>at focusing, you've got to make up for that. And

585
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:43.199
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna say, going into you gotta visualize. Okay, I'm

586
00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:47.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna focus. I'm gonna remember this person's name or whatever

587
00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:50.719
<v Speaker 2>it is. A phone number. I'm gonna remember that phone

588
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:53.480
<v Speaker 2>number that you know, I passed and ad on the

589
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:57.000
<v Speaker 2>you know building, and they had a phone number. How

590
00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:01.280
<v Speaker 2>might I remember that phone number? Because I'm driving now,

591
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:03.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't have time to put it in my phone,

592
00:42:03.239 --> 00:42:05.519
<v Speaker 2>so I gotta remember the phone number. So I'm gonna

593
00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:09.360
<v Speaker 2>come up with, Oh, that's you know the area CODEZ. Oh,

594
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:10.800
<v Speaker 2>it's a two one two, I know the New York

595
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:12.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't even have to worry about that. And then

596
00:42:12.679 --> 00:42:15.159
<v Speaker 2>you know the first three numbers. Oh, that's my U

597
00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:21.719
<v Speaker 2>address of my office, or that's my favorite baseball player's number,

598
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:25.719
<v Speaker 2>or that's the year you know my dad was born.

599
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Whatever it is. You come up with some strategy to

600
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:35.960
<v Speaker 2>remember that number, some story, some connection, hopefully an emotional

601
00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:39.760
<v Speaker 2>connection to remember those numbers. I don't remember how easy

602
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:43.920
<v Speaker 2>it used to be to remember people's phone numbers. And

603
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:47.440
<v Speaker 2>you probably still remember your friend's phone numbers growing up,

604
00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:50.119
<v Speaker 2>but you don't know their cell phone numbers because you

605
00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:52.679
<v Speaker 2>never focused on it. You put no attention to it.

606
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:57.000
<v Speaker 2>And so you've got to purposely focus on the person's name.

607
00:42:57.880 --> 00:42:59.519
<v Speaker 2>You gotta repeat the name, you gotta come up with

608
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:03.679
<v Speaker 2>a story. You could do it. Your brain has that power.

609
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Your brain is more powerful than you ever could imagine.

610
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:14.760
<v Speaker 2>A good exercise to help with focus is listening to

611
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:20.519
<v Speaker 2>music but only listening to one instrument. Right, So you

612
00:43:20.559 --> 00:43:24.119
<v Speaker 2>listen to some Beatles song but only listen to the drums,

613
00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:27.519
<v Speaker 2>and you focus on the drums, and the drums will

614
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:31.760
<v Speaker 2>suddenly become very loud, and the guitars and the bass,

615
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:35.360
<v Speaker 2>they'll become very low. The lyrics, the voices, they'll become low.

616
00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:37.880
<v Speaker 2>And the drums. If all you do is focus on

617
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:43.840
<v Speaker 2>those drums, they'll become louder, and that increases your brain

618
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:49.800
<v Speaker 2>ability to focus. So you focus on one sound while

619
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:54.639
<v Speaker 2>listening to music. Practice mindfulness. That's focusing on only one

620
00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:57.679
<v Speaker 2>thing at a time. If you're at the gym, you're

621
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:01.360
<v Speaker 2>only focused on the gym. Don't text at the gym.

622
00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:05.599
<v Speaker 2>Don't call your spouse at the gym. Don't send some emails.

623
00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:12.039
<v Speaker 2>Don't watch video, don't watch the news. Focus on the gym.

624
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Focus on the contraction of your muscles, on your heartbeat,

625
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:19.519
<v Speaker 2>on your respiration, on the sweat. When you're eating dinner,

626
00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:22.679
<v Speaker 2>focus on eating. Don't watch TV. Don't read the newspaper.

627
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Don't scroll on your phone. Focus on the color of

628
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:31.239
<v Speaker 2>the food you're eating, the smell, the texture. When you're

629
00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:34.480
<v Speaker 2>at work, focus on work. Don't be making personal texts

630
00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:38.920
<v Speaker 2>or calls. When you're reading a book, focus on the book.

631
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:45.320
<v Speaker 2>Don't have the TV on in the background. That's mindfulness.

632
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:49.320
<v Speaker 2>When you're having a conversation, the only person you should

633
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:52.159
<v Speaker 2>be focused on is the person you're talking to. Shouldn't

634
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.880
<v Speaker 2>be thinking about anything else. You shouldn't be doing anything else.

635
00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:57.559
<v Speaker 2>You shouldn't be looking at your phone, shouldn't be looking

636
00:44:57.599 --> 00:45:01.800
<v Speaker 2>at the newspaper, shouldn't be watched TV. You turn off

637
00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:04.760
<v Speaker 2>everything and you look at them, and you focus on them.

638
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:09.719
<v Speaker 2>That's mindfulness, one thing at a time. Everyone likes to multitask.

639
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:12.519
<v Speaker 2>That's not good for your brain. It's not good for focus.

640
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:17.159
<v Speaker 2>People's brains are too distracted these days. The attention span

641
00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:19.719
<v Speaker 2>used to be seven seconds. Now it's down to five seconds.

642
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:22.320
<v Speaker 2>It's going down to four and three. Our tensions are

643
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:25.159
<v Speaker 2>getting worse and worse and worse. So you gotta practice

644
00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:29.960
<v Speaker 2>mindfulness for focus. There's good eye exercises you could do

645
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:33.239
<v Speaker 2>for focus, super easy. They're called no, No, yes, yes.

646
00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:36.119
<v Speaker 2>All you gotta do is find a dot on the

647
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:40.840
<v Speaker 2>wall on a painting anything. Just look at it, straight ahead,

648
00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:44.039
<v Speaker 2>eye level, arm's length, focus on that dot. You could

649
00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:46.199
<v Speaker 2>just put a post note with a little dot and

650
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:50.639
<v Speaker 2>slowly turn your head right and left, keeping your eyes

651
00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:53.559
<v Speaker 2>focused on the dot. You do that ten times left

652
00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:56.360
<v Speaker 2>and right. That's a no no, and then ten times

653
00:45:56.440 --> 00:45:59.000
<v Speaker 2>up and down that's a yes yes. And you do

654
00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:03.400
<v Speaker 2>that three times. That's a good focusing exercise, focus on

655
00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:06.679
<v Speaker 2>the dot, slowly turn your head right and left, and

656
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:11.039
<v Speaker 2>then slowly go up and down. Another good focus exercise,

657
00:46:11.480 --> 00:46:14.039
<v Speaker 2>do a piece sign with your right hand, you know,

658
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:17.199
<v Speaker 2>like the piece two fingers. Then with the other hand

659
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:20.880
<v Speaker 2>do an OK sign, you know, where you touch your

660
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:23.320
<v Speaker 2>index finger to your thumb, make a little circle, and

661
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:25.840
<v Speaker 2>the three other fingers are sticking up. So on one

662
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:27.840
<v Speaker 2>hand you have a peace sign, one hand you have

663
00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:31.280
<v Speaker 2>an OK sign, and you count to three, say one, two, three,

664
00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:33.760
<v Speaker 2>and then switch it so the other hand does the

665
00:46:33.800 --> 00:46:36.960
<v Speaker 2>peace sign and the other hand does the okay sign.

666
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:41.599
<v Speaker 2>That's a focus exercise. There's so many neurologic exercises that

667
00:46:41.639 --> 00:46:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I can give you to improve your focus. But what

668
00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:47.199
<v Speaker 2>you want to do is figure out specifically where the

669
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:52.079
<v Speaker 2>problems are, so you want to do neurologic testing. The

670
00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:56.840
<v Speaker 2>best neurologic test is called a qEEG brain mapping. This

671
00:46:56.920 --> 00:46:59.719
<v Speaker 2>is where you wear a cap that has electrodes attached

672
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:03.000
<v Speaker 2>to it and it measures all your brain waves. Just

673
00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:06.360
<v Speaker 2>like you could do an EKG to measure your heart waves,

674
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:10.679
<v Speaker 2>we have what's called an EEG which measures your brain waves,

675
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:14.519
<v Speaker 2>your alpha brain waves, your beta, your theta, your delta,

676
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:16.719
<v Speaker 2>and it literally tells us which areas of the brain

677
00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:19.559
<v Speaker 2>are not functioning well. And it will literally say you

678
00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:22.239
<v Speaker 2>have troubles with focus, or you have troubles with memory,

679
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:25.719
<v Speaker 2>or you get distracted, or you have difficulties shifting tasks,

680
00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:28.719
<v Speaker 2>or it's working memory or short term memory, your sequential

681
00:47:28.760 --> 00:47:32.000
<v Speaker 2>memory or long term memory. So literally would tell us

682
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:33.800
<v Speaker 2>what parts of the brain are not working. Even if

683
00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:36.519
<v Speaker 2>you have depression, anxiety. It'll tell us if you have

684
00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:40.440
<v Speaker 2>balance problems, if you have inflammation in your brain, if

685
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:43.400
<v Speaker 2>you have a thyroid problem, if you have intestinal inflammation.

686
00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Do you have low dopamine or low acetyl coling, do

687
00:47:46.559 --> 00:47:50.320
<v Speaker 2>you have traumatic brain injury, concussion, you have pathologies, do

688
00:47:50.320 --> 00:47:54.559
<v Speaker 2>you have having metal poisoning? This qEEG Brain Mapping picks

689
00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:58.800
<v Speaker 2>this all up. It's normally five hundred dollars, but we're

690
00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:01.239
<v Speaker 2>going to do a special for the first seven people

691
00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:04.639
<v Speaker 2>that call, text or email. You could get the entire

692
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:08.400
<v Speaker 2>qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. And there's

693
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:12.039
<v Speaker 2>no radiation, there's no tube, there's no contrast fluid, no

694
00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:16.559
<v Speaker 2>side effects, super easy, super quick. Take advantage of this offer.

695
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:18.719
<v Speaker 2>You could come to our new Jersey office our New

696
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:22.800
<v Speaker 2>York office. Give us a call six four six two

697
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:26.360
<v Speaker 2>two one six seven three eight. You could text that

698
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:27.880
<v Speaker 2>number as well. Just say you want to be one

699
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:30.360
<v Speaker 2>of the first seven people for the twenty one dollars

700
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:34.360
<v Speaker 2>qEEG brain mapping. If you don't want to do that,

701
00:48:34.360 --> 00:48:39.320
<v Speaker 2>you can also email info at kaplanbraininbody dot com. As

702
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:41.000
<v Speaker 2>long as you say you're one of the first seven

703
00:48:41.039 --> 00:48:42.800
<v Speaker 2>and you won the first seven, you could do it

704
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:47.159
<v Speaker 2>via email as well if that's easiest for you. Now,

705
00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:51.639
<v Speaker 2>the next very important test is called a VNG videos deemography,

706
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:54.400
<v Speaker 2>and that is very good because that tells us which

707
00:48:54.480 --> 00:48:57.760
<v Speaker 2>areas of the brain are underactive and which areas are underactive.

708
00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:00.480
<v Speaker 2>So when you have troubles with focus, it could be

709
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:04.679
<v Speaker 2>an underactive you know, right frontal cortex where you can't focus,

710
00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:08.039
<v Speaker 2>or it could be an overactive left frontal cortex. We

711
00:49:08.119 --> 00:49:11.199
<v Speaker 2>have too many thoughts and too many distractions. So the

712
00:49:11.320 --> 00:49:14.320
<v Speaker 2>VNG is great for picking up which areas are underactive

713
00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:17.480
<v Speaker 2>and which areas are overactive. If it's overactive, you might

714
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:22.079
<v Speaker 2>have anxiety, you might have insomnia, you might have mind raising,

715
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:26.000
<v Speaker 2>you might have heart palpitations, you might have stress and

716
00:49:26.039 --> 00:49:31.159
<v Speaker 2>inflammation and muscle spasm and pain. If it's underactive, you

717
00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:37.199
<v Speaker 2>might have low motivation or focus, poor memory, depression, fatigue.

718
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:41.800
<v Speaker 2>The VNG is amazing at picking up these issues because

719
00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:44.199
<v Speaker 2>it says is that the right side is the left side,

720
00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:47.320
<v Speaker 2>which lobe, which is under, which is over and again.

721
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:51.440
<v Speaker 2>This test also has no radiation, Super quick, super easy.

722
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:53.880
<v Speaker 2>You just got to wear these goggles that have infrared

723
00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:57.199
<v Speaker 2>cameras that measure your movements. They go fast and slow

724
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:00.920
<v Speaker 2>and up and down, super easy, non invasive, no radiation.

725
00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:04.519
<v Speaker 2>This test is also normally five hundred dollars, but for

726
00:50:04.599 --> 00:50:06.920
<v Speaker 2>the first seven people to call, text or email you

727
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:10.480
<v Speaker 2>can get the VNG for only twenty one dollars. The

728
00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:14.400
<v Speaker 2>number is six four six two two one, six seven

729
00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:20.800
<v Speaker 2>three eight. The email is info at kaplinbraininbody dot com.
