This 8 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:27.079 is doctor Eric Caplan, and you're listening to boost your 9 00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:32.799 brain power. Now, an ounce of prevention is worth a 10 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:39.439 pound of cure. Now, how can you prevent diseases that 11 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.359 come from the brain. There's lots of different diseases, whether 12 00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:58.520 it's Parkinson's, Alzheimer's dimension, a stroke, multiple sclerosis, depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue. Right, 13 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.560 most of these problems actually come from the brain. Even 14 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.280 high blood pressure that actually comes from the brain. How 15 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:12.280 come the cardiologists isn't analyzing the brain. When your brain 16 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:16.760 controls your blood pressure, your brain controls your heart rate. 17 00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.840 So if you relax your brain, your blood pressure goes down. 18 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:24.319 We have lots of. 19 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.400 Patients that come to us for high blood pressure and 20 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.079 then when we fix their brains, now their blood pressure 21 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.840 goes down. Now, the medication that they're taking for the 22 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:40.920 blood pressure overworks and they become under pressure. Right, so 23 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.640 instead of high blood pressure, it's low blood pressure. And 24 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.120 when they have low blood pressure, they get dizziness and 25 00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.879 light headed, and they might come to me for dizziness 26 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.400 or lightheadedness, and then I actually say, hey, it's not 27 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.719 actually the brain that's the problem. Your brain is actually 28 00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:03.040 functioning better. But because your brain is functioning better now, 29 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:08.199 the high blood pressure medication makes your blood pressure lower, 30 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:14.840 and that's not good. Same thing happens with diabetes. People 31 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.639 come to us with diabetes, and then as their brain 32 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:22.360 starts getting better, their pancreage starts working better, their nutrition improves, 33 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.879 they start going to bed earlier, they stop having a 34 00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:32.199 less sedentary lifestyle. Now the diabetes medication, instead of becoming hyperglycemic, 35 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.039 makes you hypoglycemic, and then you get light headed and dizzy. 36 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:40.919 So a lot of the patients that come to us, 37 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:47.599 it's the medication that's causing their problem. Sometimes the cure 38 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:53.840 is worse than the condition. When we are helping people 39 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.439 that have thyroid problems and we fix their brain and 40 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:03.080 their body, now the thyruloid medication overworks and instead of 41 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.439 becoming instead of being hypothyroid, now they're hyperth thyroid, and 42 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:14.319 that's even worse. So we got to make sure we're 43 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:21.240 not over medicating. Sometimes what you feel isn't the actual 44 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.639 problem in your brain and your body, but it side 45 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:29.439 effects of medication. The healthiest people in the world take 46 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:34.520 the least medicine. The healthiest people in the world see 47 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:39.080 the least amount of doctors. The healthiest people in the 48 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:45.759 world take the least amount of tests. I pride myself 49 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.840 in doing as least testing as possible and try and 50 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.319 figure it out so I don't have to expose people 51 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:57.080 to unnecessary radiation. If I'm a good doctor, we don't 52 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.680 need to radiate the patients. We could discover the problems 53 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:09.800 without chemicals, without radiation, without contrast fluid. The rule of 54 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.560 a doctor is do no harm. It's the first rule, 55 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.319 do no harm. Why are so many doctors breaking those rules? 56 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:24.439 Radiation is harm. If you don't need to radiate, don't 57 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.360 radiate the patient. If you don't need to medicate, don't medicate. 58 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.600 And now we have all these over the counter stuff. 59 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.079 It's so easy for patients to get might be profit 60 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.600 and tail and all and aspirin and all these allergy 61 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.439 medications and sleeping medications and cold remedies, and oh my god, 62 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.600 there's so much medication. You don't even need a doctor's 63 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:48.720 prescription for this stuff. And this stuff is poison. You 64 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:52.720 could cause internal damage you're not even realizing. Just because 65 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:58.199 it's over the counter doesn't make it safe. I'm also 66 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:04.279 talking about supplements. The healthiest people in the world do 67 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:11.160 not take supplements. You don't need supplements if you're healthy. 68 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:17.279 The only supplement I take is vitamin D because I'm 69 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:21.839 inside during the day, you know. And I'm still trying 70 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:25.240 to figure that out, because why am I going inside 71 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.639 all day? You know? My hours are ten to five. 72 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.680 That's when I see patients. But it's all inside, and 73 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.879 that's when the sun's the strongest, from ten to five. 74 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.519 And I do that five days a week. So I'm 75 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:45.800 not getting the proper vitamin D. Nobody's perfect, but only 76 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:50.040 do it if you absolutely need it. If you don't 77 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.560 need it, don't take it. I'm sick of my patients 78 00:05:53.560 --> 00:06:00.079 coming in on twelve twenty thirty forty supplements. That's not healthy. 79 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.360 Do you think God wants you to eat food from 80 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.680 this little pill? Or do you think God wants you 81 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.879 to use the sun use the air, use the water. 82 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:15.040 And the food that's on this earth so beautiful. All 83 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.879 the different colors, all the fruits and veggies, all the 84 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.839 different animals, and the nuts and the seeds, all the fish, 85 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.959 everything all on this earth. There's so much good, real 86 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.879 food out there. But it doesn't come in a pill 87 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.720 or a box or can or a bag. Health does 88 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.120 not come in a bottle. Don't think you're healthy if 89 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:44.759 you're taking anything in bottles. That's not true health. It's 90 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:50.160 not complicated. We complicate too much. We try and outsmart 91 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:56.879 the human body. Oh, stop outsmarting the human body. If 92 00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.079 you have a temperature, your body's heating up to kill 93 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.439 off the virus. If you have a pain, your body's 94 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.240 letting you know something's wrong. If it's a headache, you're 95 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:10.480 not getting oxygen to your brain. If it's a chest pain, 96 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:15.639 you're not getting oxygen to your heart. If it's stomach pain, 97 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:20.920 you're not getting oxygen to your stomach and it might 98 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.040 be depleted. And when you don't have enough oxygen, that 99 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:29.920 means you have too much. Carbon dioxide and viruses. Bacteria 100 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:35.879 they love carbon dioxide. Parasites they love it, worms love it. 101 00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:44.319 Yeast mold they love it, all these toxic substances. Cancer 102 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.680 loves it, diabetes loves it. They love that carbon dioxide. 103 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.439 So when you don't get oxygen, your brain's telling you 104 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.920 right when females are on their period, because they're losing 105 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.480 blood and oxygen. That's why a lot of them will 106 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.199 put hot packs. That helps me more blood and oxygen. 107 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.199 You get sore muscles, right, A lot of people do 108 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:13.399 a hot pack. Blood and oxygen. Acupuncture is for oxygen, 109 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:20.519 and blood massages for blood and oxygen, electrical stem blood 110 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.480 and oxygen, exercise, blood and oxygen. It's all about the 111 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.519 blood and oxygen. And when you don't have it, you're 112 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.480 gonna have a consequence, and a lot of times it's 113 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:35.799 just pain. That's why patients love our hyperbaric oxygen chambers, 114 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:43.360 which is increasing oxygen and the toxins can't live. That's 115 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:48.559 why breathing exercises are so important. More oxygen inhale for 116 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.679 four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds, and exhale 117 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:55.960 for eight seconds. That's the breeding exercise that's gonna maximize 118 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.519 your oxygen. It's gonna get rid of your carbor dioxide. 119 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.759 It's gonna activate your vague nerve. It's my favorite breathing exercise. 120 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.159 Inhale for four seconds, hold your breath for seven, and 121 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.519 exhale for eight seconds. And on the inhale, if you 122 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.399 want to get a few extra oxygen molecules into those 123 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:17.639 lungs on that last second, take a big inhale, and 124 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:21.320 if you want a detox on that last exhale, push 125 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:26.000 it all the way out. Push push, push push. All right, 126 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.759 so you're gonna inhale for four seconds, hold your breath 127 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.559 for seven seconds, exhale for eight It's good to be 128 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:36.840 a diaphragmatic breather. A diaphramatic breather is when you inhale, 129 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.759 push your belly down and out. That's gonna push your 130 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:44.720 diaphragm down and out on the exhale. Everything comes in 131 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.279 on the inhale, diaphragm down and out. On the exhale, 132 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:55.720 diaphragm up and in. It's gonna squeeze that carbon dioxide 133 00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.799 out and come from a giving nature. When you accel, 134 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.720 you are giving the plants the carbon dioxide they need 135 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.320 to thrive. Just like we need oxygen to thrive, they 136 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.679 need carbon dioxide to thrive. So every exhale you do, 137 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:16.559 you're giving the trees and the bushes, and the plants 138 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.799 and the grass, all the carbon dioxide they need to 139 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.600 function at highest level. So not only are you getting 140 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:27.320 rid of your toxins, our toxins are beneficial to them. 141 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:31.679 It's a symbiotic relationship. They're getting rid of their toxins, 142 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:37.440 which is oxygen, we're inhaling that. Then we're exhaling carbon dioxide, 143 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:43.039 which is good for them. It's unbelievable, you know. It's 144 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.879 like the water hydrates us, and then it keeps the 145 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:49.279 plants strong, and then it evaporates and then it comes 146 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:53.039 down again. It's like this ecosystem we live. It's only 147 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:57.360 it's too unreal to even imagine. This exists in the 148 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:04.840 human brain controls everything, and we're trashing it with alcohol, 149 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:13.519 with dairy, with gluten, with sugar, with coffee, with drugs. 150 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.720 We're killing our brains. You only get one brain. It's 151 00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:21.000 the most important organ. Take care of it. Do the 152 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:26.039 right thing.

The worst thing to do 184 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.879 is start your day off pressing the snooze alarm. That's 185 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.000 literally starting your day with a failure. So you set 186 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:34.279 an attention, I'm getting up at this time, and I 187 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:38.519 couldn't do it, all right, so don't press the snooze. 188 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.879 I follow Mel Robbins and she does the five second rule. 189 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:47.960 So your alarm goes off and you count down five four, three, 190 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.320 two one, then you jump out of bed. Once you 191 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.399 get out of bed, it's pretty easy to get your 192 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:59.080 day going. But it's easy to stay underneath your covers, 193 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:04.120 staying and warm, relax a little bit, but nope. Once 194 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.919 you set the alarm, time to get up. The first 195 00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:10.080 thing you should do every single morning when you wake up, 196 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.840 it's called oil pulling. What oil pulling is is where 197 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.440 you take coconut oil. All right, it's morganic coconut oil. 198 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.080 Swish it around in your mouth for thirty seconds, so 199 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.679 you swish it all around. It's called oil pulling, and 200 00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:27.879 try and squeeze it in between aill your teeth, use 201 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:30.480 your tongue, use a toothbrush if you need, but get 202 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:34.559 it all around your gums, your mouth, your teeth. What 203 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:39.559 Coconut oil is a natural antibiotic, and it kills off 204 00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:46.120 all your bad bacteria in your oral microbiome, the bad 205 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.879 bacteria much better than listerine or mouthwash that has alcohol, 206 00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:56.279 because the alcohol kills off the good bacteria, and we 207 00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:59.840 want good bacteria in our mouth. It's called ooral mic 208 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:04.840 roll biome. Okay, So we want more good bacteria and 209 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.519 less bad bacteria. So you're gonna do oil pulling for 210 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.120 thirty seconds every single morning. Swish it around your mouth, 211 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:14.360 and then spit it out in the garbage. Don't put 212 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:17.000 it in the sink because that'll, you know, mess up 213 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.840 your pipes, So just spit it out in the garbage 214 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:22.480 and don't swallow it either, because you don't want to 215 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:25.080 swallow the bad bacteria. You want to get rid of 216 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:29.919 the bad bacteria. Okay, so that's thirty seconds. Then right 217 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:34.639 when you wake up, cold water on the face. Splash 218 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:38.799 your face with cold water. Okay. Then it's good to 219 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.840 go to the bathroom, have a bowel movement. You're in 220 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.440 a then I like to read part of my book. 221 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:49.480 So whatever it is, you can read one page, that's 222 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:53.720 all you gotta do. But at least it's something. If 223 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.039 you have time, read two pages, and if you have 224 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.120 even more time, read three pages. But every single day, 225 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.360 and hopefully it's like something that's helpful, like a self 226 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.159 help book or a motivational book, or a business book, 227 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:10.600 or a health book or a brain book, something that's 228 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.240 going to improve your health, your well being, your quality 229 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:17.960 of life. But you gotta read every day, even if 230 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.080 it's just one page. But get in that habit where 231 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.559 every day you read something. Okay, and you got to 232 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.320 do a gratitude journal, and I don't care if it's 233 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.720 just write one thing. I'm grateful for a roof up 234 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:38.159 over my head. I'm grateful for food being in my refrigerator. 235 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:42.240 I'm grateful for clothes on my back. I'm grateful for 236 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.679 my spouse or my kids, or my parents, or my friends, 237 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.679 or my neighborhood, or my job or my coworkers, or 238 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.559 the term I live in, or the city I live in, 239 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:55.840 or the country I live in. Just be thankful for something. 240 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:01.120 Be grateful for your life, for your health. Be grateful 241 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:04.319 that you could see. I see lots of blind patients 242 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:08.720 in my office. Be grateful that you can hear. There's 243 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:12.519 lots of people that are deaf. Be grateful you could walk, 244 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:18.480 lots of people in wheelchairs. Stop taking for granted stuff 245 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.759 that will create your happiness. You know, I heard this 246 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:27.319 one interview and the guy asks the person on the show. 247 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.119 He says, hey, would you be happy if they gave 248 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.920 you ten million dollars? And the guy's like, yep, I'd 249 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:36.359 be very happy. Be hard for someone to get you 250 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.000 in a bad mood if I just give you ten 251 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:40.759 million dollars And I goes, Yep, it'd be very tough 252 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.279 to get me in a bad mood after giving me 253 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:47.319 ten million dollars, I'd be really happy. But then the 254 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.960 interviewer goes, now, what if I gave you that ten 255 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.440 million dollars but you couldn't wake up the next day. 256 00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.039 And the guy goes, no, I wouldn't take that ten 257 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:00.400 million dollars if I couldn't wake up the next step, 258 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:06.680 And so the inviewer says, so, what you're saying is 259 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:11.440 that waking up every morning is worth more than ten 260 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.440 million dollars, And the goes, yeah, I didn't even. 261 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:16.359 Think of that perspective. 262 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.960 So it goes, why don't you wake up every morning 263 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.720 like you just won ten million dollars. People don't do that. 264 00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:26.880 They don't wake up every morning. He's like, oh, I 265 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.519 could see, I can eat, I could pee, I could poop, 266 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.039 I could walk, I could talk. Right, they don't say that. 267 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.240 They're not grateful for what you have. You have to 268 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:41.240 show gratitude. If you show gratitude, it's very hard to 269 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:47.079 be anxious. It's very hard to be stressed. Show gratitude 270 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:51.160 in your life. Every single morning when you wake up, 271 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:53.960 you at least write one thing and say it out loud. 272 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:58.839 I'm grateful, I have a dog, you know whatever. It is, 273 00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:04.400 just be grateful for something every single day. Right, So 274 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.720 you wake up, you got your oil pulling, got your 275 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:13.119 cold water on your face, have your bowel movement, go peep, 276 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:17.160 read a page of your book. Write at least one 277 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:21.680 thing you're grateful for. Then write at least one goal 278 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.279 that you want to accomplish, either that day, that week, 279 00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:28.839 or that year. I want to get a raise, I 280 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:32.440 want to make more money. I want to lose five pounds. 281 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.640 I want to get bigger muscles. I want to learn 282 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:39.880 a new language. I want to learn how to play 283 00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:45.039 a musical instrument. I want to have a better relationship 284 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:50.119 with my wife. I want to get my kid something nice. 285 00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:56.079 Just have a goal, spend ten minutes with my son something. 286 00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.759 Have some goal that you're going to accomplish, and then 287 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.119 when you check it off, celebrate the small wins. Those 288 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.880 little check those small wins. Those release dopamine. We like dopamine. 289 00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:13.200 But then when you have long term goals, long term relationship, 290 00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:17.759 long term health habits, then it builds serotonin. That's the 291 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:22.759 mood stabilizer. So we want dopaminea those quick hits. We 292 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:29.119 want serotonin those long lasting neurotransmitters. We want oxytocin, the 293 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:34.000 love hormone. Start holding people's hands, start hugging people, kissing people. 294 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:38.559 Human touch is very important, and I don't care if 295 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:41.240 you get it with the dog. Also pet a dog, 296 00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.240 cuddle with a dog. But have some sort of affection, 297 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:53.039 have some touch in your life. It's oxytocin, and you 298 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:56.200 get it from holding hands, you get it from hugging, 299 00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:01.200 you get it from the sixth second from now on. 300 00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:03.839 When you kiss your spouse in the morning, and hopefully 301 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.279 you do it instead of just kissing for one second, 302 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:15.279 kiss for six seconds. Then you release all those love hormones. Okay, 303 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:20.279 you could do it. You can get those endorphins going. Yeah, 304 00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:25.359 that's when you go for a nice run that runners high. 305 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:28.240 Even a piece of dark chocolate could get the endorphins going. 306 00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:39.880 Love relationships smiling, laughing. There's so many natural ways to 307 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:45.319 boost your brain. All right, getting back to the morning 308 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:49.799 power hour. Now it's time to meditate. And I don't 309 00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:53.759 care if it's a thirty second meditation, but start meditating 310 00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:59.160 every single day. I call it the relaxed technique. So 311 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:01.079 I start at the top of my head and I 312 00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:03.680 say relax, and I relax all those muscles on the 313 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:06.279 top of my head. Then I say relax, and I 314 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:09.559 relax my forehead. Then I say relax, and I relax 315 00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:14.240 my temples and relax my eyebrows, relax my eye lids, 316 00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:19.319 relax my cheek, relax my jaw, relax my neck, my shoulders, 317 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.279 my back, my hips, my knees, go all the way 318 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.480 down to my toes. So I pick thirty spots. Each 319 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.839 spot is a second it's a thirty second meditation. Each spot. 320 00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:37.319 You're just saying relax, relax. Internally, it's called a mantra. Relax, relax, relax. 321 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:42.119 Everybody could do thirty second meditation. That's your power hour. 322 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:46.400 You do it every single morning. So I don't care 323 00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.480 if you read one page of a book, do a 324 00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:53.960 thirty second meditation, write one thing in your gratitude journal. 325 00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:58.240 Just do something every day. Do something every day to exercise. 326 00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:01.039 I don't care if it's a ten second run down 327 00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:03.880 your block. Just run down to the edge of your 328 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:08.279 block for ten seconds. But at leash you start breathing 329 00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:11.000 a little heavy and your heart started beating and maybe 330 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:14.160 even a little sweat. But every day, do something active. 331 00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:16.680 I don't care if it's ten pushups, ten sit ups, 332 00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:20.440 ten jumping jacks, a ten second run, ten second bike, 333 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:24.720 just do something. If you got thirty seconds, do thirty seconds. 334 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:28.079 If you got a minute, do a minute. If you 335 00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:31.599 got five minutes, do five minutes. But minimum do ten seconds. 336 00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:33.920 Don't say oh, I don't have time to do a 337 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:38.759 ten second jumping jacks. Everybody's got ten seconds. But do something. 338 00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:42.599 Move your body every single morning before you leave to 339 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:45.079 do your errands, to go to work, to go to school, 340 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.680 take your kids, run whatever you gotta do, but do 341 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:54.680 ten seconds of an exercise every single morning. It's all 342 00:23:54.680 --> 00:24:00.000 about the consistency. And then get a meal prep. Don't 343 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:04.319 go your house without eating and without food prep. Because 344 00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:06.759 you want organic food. You want healthy food. You want 345 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:09.480 colorful food. You want stuf full of dairy and sugar 346 00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:12.160 and cheese and cream and boxes and cans and bags. 347 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:14.160 You want stuff with all these oils. You don't want 348 00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:22.160 takeout food. You want real food from the earth, fruits, veggies, nuts, eggs, fish, chicken, turkey, 349 00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:27.519 real food from the earth. Stop eating all this processed 350 00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:32.319 crap with food dies, artificial sweetness, artificial flavors. You want 351 00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:38.279 one ingredient food. So prep every morning. If you do 352 00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:41.160 all these things every morning, you food prep, you exercise, 353 00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:44.720 you gratitude, you read right, you cold water on your face, 354 00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:47.200 you oil pull, you go to the bathroom, You write 355 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:51.000 down in your journal, you write your goals down. Then 356 00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:53.799 you are gonna conquer the day.
