Speaker 2 (00:09):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric CAPLM, and you're listening to boost your
brain power. Now, don't come to me if you want
a doctor that's going to prescribe drugs to hide the symptoms.
(00:30):
Don't come to me. If you want to just find
out which supplement you need to take to fix your symptoms,
or which herb you want to take to fix your symptoms,
or which iv or injection you need to take to
fix your symptoms. That is not what I do. I
(00:50):
am a functional neurologist. So instead of covering up symptoms
with pills or supplements or vitamins or herbs or homeopathic
remedies or ivy injections and medications and drugs, what we
do is get to the root cause, figure out what's
(01:13):
the problem, not just cover it up with a band aid,
but actually say why are you getting this condition? You've
got to know the why, because there's always a why.
Once you figure out the why, then you could come
up with the appropriate treatment. You know, I had a
(01:34):
wide variety of patients today, many of them having migraines. However,
each migraine patient was a little bit different. One it
had to do with her stress levels, so we had
to make sure we worked on her autonomic nervous system.
(01:56):
Another had to do with her hydration, so we need
to make sure she drinks half her body weight in
ounces of water every day on an empty stomach. And
then we made sure she's getting the Celtic salt to
bring the minerals to you absorb the water. Most people
(02:17):
who drink water, you know, especially are those plastic water
bottles such as you know Poland Spring or you know
Desani or Aquafina or you know whatever they have there.
Those don't get absorbed. You end up drinking the water
and peeing out the water. But you also have the
side effects of all the plastics in those plastic water bottles.
(02:40):
Those plastics are endocrine disruptors. Those plastics are toxic. They
can lead to cancer, They can cause inflammation, digestive problems, allergies,
all right, So it's not just drinking water, it's making
sure you get filtered water. I like reverse osmosis, and
then I put in the salt, the pinkameleine salt or
(03:03):
the Celtic salt, which has about eighty six minerals. Therefore,
you're going to absorb the water so they don't just
pee it out right. And if you absorb the water,
that could get rid of your migraines. I had another patient.
It was due to her poor posture and the way
(03:23):
her bones were positioned. So we also had another patient
it was inflammation in the brain. We had another patient
she had poor cerebral spinal fluid flow. We had another
patient and had an unhealthy diet and she was reacting
(03:44):
to the foods she was eating. But they're all migraines,
And what does the doctor do give you a migraine
medication As a functional doctor, as a functional neurologist, I
have to feel or where does the migraine come from?
And if it's stressed, we got to reduce the stress.
(04:05):
If it's water, we need to increase the water. If
it's the food, we need to improve the diet. If
it's the posture, we got to work on the pasture.
If it's circulation, work on blood flow. If it's inflammation,
bringing down that inflammation. If it's hormonal, I had another patient.
Hers was related to her hormones. She always got it
(04:26):
during her period. We need to fix her thyroid, and
her headaches went away. Right, So you got to get
to the root cause. Most of these doctors are just
treating symptoms. Right. We got to stop treating symptoms and
we have to get to the root cause of the problem.
(04:50):
And that's what I do with cap and brain and body.
We get to the root cause of the problem. No
more band aids, no more temporary solutions. Right. If you
have pain, you can, you know, get a massage, but
then the next day the muscles tightened up again. Mine.
(05:13):
You can take a title Knoll or an aspirin, but
it's not actually fixing the problem. Now what do I
do as a functional doctor? If you come to me
with pain, I'm gonna figure out where is the pain
coming from? Why do you have the pain to begin with?
Do you have inflammation? Do you have autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis?
(05:37):
Do you have some bony issue. Do you have a
spondyl osthesis. Do you have a herniated disk? Do you
have nerve interferenced do you have muscle spasm? You have
bones out of position? Do you have a brain issue
where you're increased to pain, sensitivity, poor nutrition, dehydration, poor circulation.
(06:07):
It's not a deficiency of tail and all. You don't
have pain because of a perkostet deficiency or a vicotin deficiency.
But that's what doctors give you. Perkostet viking And you
know what, this stuff has heroin. It's an opioid. They
(06:29):
have heroin in them. So these pain killers that we're
given for back pain, neck pain, headaches, whatever it is,
is actually heroin in a pill. Right. A lot of
these drugs, you know, they're just legalized amphetamines, legalized opioids. Right,
(06:53):
So it's just like these street drugs. But now the
pharmaceutical companies are making money. Stop taking these painkillers to
hide your symptoms. As a functional doctor, I always get
to the root cause of the pain. Now, the pain
is protecting you. If you have back pain and you
(07:16):
take an aspirin or a tie and all or a
pain killer or an anti inflammatory and said or an opioid,
a pergistead viking in right, So these drugs are gonna
hide your symptoms. Now because you don't have pain, you
(07:37):
might do stuff you're not supposed to right. So maybe
that back pain was preventing you from bending down to
tie your shoes, because if you did bend down to
tie your shoes, now you're gonna cause more nerve compression,
more disc problems, more muscle spath them. So the brain
gives you pain and says stop, don't bend over anymore.
(08:02):
But if you interrupt those signals with medication, now you're
gonna end up doing stuff you're not supposed to. Now
the brain isn't protecting you. Now you're gonna do something
that can aggravate your condition and prolong your recovery period.
Is that the smart idea? My opinion, not so much.
(08:26):
I think it's better to have the pain because that
pain is going to prevent you from doing an activity
that's going to aggravate you. It's protecting you. The body's
always protecting you. If you have pain, it's protecting your nerves.
(08:46):
If you have a fever, it's heating up to kill
off the virus. If you have a tumor, it's keeping
these cancer cells and encapsulated so they don't infect the
rest of your body. Your body smart. When you have
(09:09):
that headache, it's telling you there's something wrong. It's letting
you know there's a problem. But the key is to
get to the root cause of the problem, not hide symptoms.
Get to the root cause because once you get to
the root cause, then you could fix the problem. All right,
(09:33):
So stop taking pills to cover up symptoms, and that's
including natural stuff. Right. If you can't sleep, don't take melatonin.
Figure out why you can't sleep. If you take melatonin,
then your brain says, oh, you're producing melatonin for me.
(09:53):
I don't need to produce it on my own, and
then it actually decreases the melatonin production. Right. You're not
smarter than the human body. So you got to get
to the root cause. Why aren't you sleeping? Is your
brain overactive? Or you're not breathing properly, You're not in
(10:16):
a good position. Is the room temperature too high? Do
you have too much stimulation in the room? Do you
have Wi Fi in the room or electricity? Uh? Did
you eat too late at night? Did you check your
cell phone right before bed? Did you watch the news
(10:39):
before bedtime? Do you have an issue with your sympathetic
nervous system. Do you have an issue with your peneal
gland a thyroid issue, your gernal gland, your kidneys, or
your cortisol levels too high. There could be a lot
of reasons for sleeping difficulties, but as a functionalrologist, we
get to the root. Car I don't just write a
(11:01):
prescription for ambient That's not the best way to solve
your sleeping difficulties. I don't just give you a sea pap,
which is this mask you have to wear to help
you sleep. I say, how come you're not breathing? How
come your brain's not turning off? Once we figure out
the why, then we could come up with the solution. Right.
If you have high blood pressure, you don't just take
(11:24):
high blood pressures. Figure out why you have high blood pressure?
Is it your diet? Is it your sedentary lifestyle? Is
it your stress? Is it too much inflammation? Is it dehydration? Right,
so you gotta figure out, Hey, why do you have diabetes?
Too much soda sugar? Are you eating late at night? Right?
(11:48):
So you figure out why. Once you figure out why,
then we come up with the solution. So if you
want a doctor that wants to figure out the why,
then CAPL and Brain and Body is for you. For

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Function better, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Aplin, and you're listening to boost your
brain power. We're going to talk about the importance of weightlifting.
Weightlifting is one of the most important things you could
do to improve your health and well being. First of all,
(14:00):
it's gonna make your muscles stronger, all right. We need
to get our muscles stronger. Everybody is too weak these days,
all right, and you have to be super strong throughout
your life. They did some research people who could do
push ups, and they found out people who could do
(14:24):
ten pushups right are ninety five percent less likely to
get a heart attack or a stroke versus someone who
can't do ten push ups. So by doing ten pushups
(14:47):
every day, you're not only getting your muscles stronger, but
you're preventing heart attack and stroke just by doing ten
push ups a day. If you're able to do ten
pushups a day, your mood will get boosted. You have
(15:09):
a walking pharmacy inside your muscles. If you have anxiety
and depression, one of the best things you could do
is weight resistant exercises, And especially with depression, you have
to make progression. So start off with five pounds and
(15:31):
five reps. But then you got to go to six
reps and seven reps and eight reps, and then you
go from five pounds to ten pounds to fifteen to
twenty pounds, so you got to keep on increasing your workload.
That's one of the quickest ways to get out of
the depression is to make progression in physical exercise. So
(15:54):
the quickest, easiest, safest route to take. So when you
do weight resistant exercises, it's gonna get your muscle stronger.
And as your muscles get stronger, you get rid of fat. Now,
if you follow my suggestions every week on how to
(16:18):
get healthy, how to eat healthy, how to exercise more,
when you lose weight, you're gonna lose eighty percent fat
and twenty percent muscle. If you lose weight with ozembic
and these diabetes medications, you're gonna lose eighty percent muscle
(16:43):
and only twenty percent fat. That's scary. So your muscle's
gonna become weaker. Your bones gonna become weaker, your brain's
gonna become weaker. Guess what else is a muscle? Your heart.
Your heart's gonna become weaker. Your intestines are muscles. They're
gonna become weaker. So your cardiovascular system gets weaker, your
neurologic system gets weaker, your gastrointestinal system gets weaker. By
(17:06):
taking these diabetes medication, they're dangerous. They're not telling you
the truth that you're losing eighty percent muscle that you
need and you're only losing twenty percent fat. Very scary,
So do it the right way. They're eating healthy, exercising,
(17:28):
intermittent fasting, reducing your stress, going to bed early. That's
the way to lose weight. Anybody could do it. I
mean this week alone, you know, I've had seven, eight
to nine patients all say that they're losing all this
weight just by doing these simple changes of their daily life.
Every day we hear this thing. You can do it.
(17:52):
You just have to eat real food. Stop eating stuff
in boxes and cans and bags will process foods, food dies, preservatives,
artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, it's all crap, it's all toxic.
Be like a hunter gatherer whenever you could hunt, whatever
(18:15):
you could gather. We're not talking about stuff that's made
in factories and processed and put in cans and bags.
We're talking about real food that comes directly from the earth.
It's not that complicated, real food directly from the earth,
(18:38):
all right, So you always want to make sure that
you eat the colors of the rainbow every day. Something
that's red, right, so, have some strawberries, something that's orange,
Have some carrots, something that's yellow, Have some squash, something
(18:59):
that's green. Have some cucumbers, something that's blue. Have some
blueberries or blackberries. Something that's purple, you know, purple leaf, lettuce,
or the purple onions, grapes, plums, eggplant. There's a lot
(19:26):
of options. Just pick something every day where you eat
all the colors of the rainbow, and then avoid all
the white foods, right, sugar, dairy, flour, bread, rice, potatoes, cereals, crackers, alcohol, cream, cheese,
(19:52):
sour cream, yogurt, cheese. Stay away from all that white stuff,
all the dairy, all the sugar, all the bread products.
That causes a lot of inflammation, right, So you can
you know reverse any condition by getting to the root
(20:15):
cause of it. I don't care whether it's heart disease, diabetes. Right,
So not only do we have to lift weights, but
we got to eat healthy two Now, when lifting weights,
it is the best way to prevent osteoporosis. Right. You
(20:36):
don't need medication when you have osteoporosis. You need to
do weights, weight resistant exercises. The science is there. There's
nothing more powerful than weight resistant exercise. Stop taking calcium pills.
Oh my gosh. Every day a patient comes in and says, oh,
(20:57):
I'm taking calcium. I'm so why are you taking? Oh
I have osteoporosis. Oh I'm getting older. Oh I don't
drink milk. Oh my doctor told me to. You gotta
stop with the calcium pills. The calcium supplements are the
most dangerous supplement you could take. They can lead to cancer,
they can cause brain disorders, heart disease, arthritis. We don't
(21:22):
want to take calcium now. If you're severely deficient, that's
a different story. But you gotta check your blood work
and if you have osteoporosis or osteopenia, that doesn't mean
you're calcium deficient. It means your bones are weak. And
most of the time it's got nothing to do with calcium.
(21:43):
But almost all the time it has to do with
no weight resistant exercises, sedentary lifestyle, not getting up sunlight,
and low vitamin D. Ninety percent of people who have osteoporosis.
That's the reason. So start lifting weights. Makes your muscle stronger,
(22:05):
it makes your bones stronger, it makes your mood better,
It improves your heart, your circulation, your hormones. My god,
I see so many patients with a rectile dysfunction, and
(22:25):
the first thing I tell them is, you gotta start
lifting weights. Yes, there's a lot of brain issues with that.
We gotta work on the autonomics, we gotta work on
the hormones, the thyroid, gotta work on the circulation, the
blood flow. So there's lots of stuff that we need
to do. But my first assignment that I give them
to do at home is weight resistant exercises. Weightlifting. That's
(22:49):
gonna increase your testosterone when you do weight resistant exercise,
that's going to improve your sleep. When people come to
me with sleep decoration, insomnia, low energy fatigue, we get
them to lift weights. The benefit of weightlifting is unmeasurable,
(23:10):
and it doesn't necessarily have to be a gym membershit
and you don't even necessarily have to buy dumbbells or
any weights. You could use your own body weight like
a pull up. You could go to the park and
try and do pull ups. You could do push ups.
If you're doing pushups, I recommend I'm using push up
bars so you don't hurt your wrist. You can do
(23:34):
like chair sits. There's lots of you know, weight resistant
stuff that you can just use your own body weight.
You can use your own kids. I just to do
that all the time, you know, from when they were babies,
I would use as the weights and you know, do
shoulder presses, and as they got bigger, you know, I
progress with my weightlifting. You can use grocery bags with
(23:59):
bottle there's water in there to do resistant exercise. You
can use those exercise bands. You can get a TRX strap.
You know, there's so many different ways to do weight
resistant exercises outside of weights. But you gotta do it
(24:19):
because you got to deposit those minerals in the bones.
You gotta resist, You gotta struggle a little bit, you
gotta be some soreness if it's too easy, you're not
going to gain any muscle mass. Right. If you're doing
bicep curls with a pencil, you can do one hundred reps,
but that's not going to do anything. It's better to
do something really heavy and only do four reps. But
(24:42):
you struggle, you gotta be uncomfortable. That's when you gain
the most muscle mass. Now, a good trick I learned
from Arnold schwartzenegg Or about weightlifting is what you do
is you do whatever you're doing, a bench press, a girl, triceps, squats,
whatever it is, lunges. So you do it until you
(25:04):
can't do any more. Then you start counting. Let's say
I'm doing bicep curls. I do one, two, three, and
I do twenty bysepcurls and now oh I can't do
any more. Okay, Now I'm gonna start counting, and I'm
gonna say one more, two more, and whatever it is.
Those last two are the ones that gain the most
(25:29):
muscle mass, and that will help you function better, feel better,
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Caplan.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
This is doctor Eric Caplan and you're listening to boost
your brain power. Now. An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure. Now, how do you prevent? The
key to prevention is creating good habits, and it all
starts out with your morning power hour. That first hour
(27:05):
in the morning should be focused on you and your health.
And if you have to wake up a little bit earlier.
Wake up a little bit earlier, so I wake up
super early before my wife wakes up, before my kids
wake up, so I can have my power hour, so
I could do everything I need to do to get
my day going. And what's the power hour? Wake up
(27:28):
and do oil pulling, which is coconut oil. You swish
coconut oil all around your mouth, and then you do
it just for thirty seconds every morning, and then spit
it out in the garbage. Not in the sink because
that'll mess up your pipes, but spit it out in
the garbage and that gets rid of all your bacteria.
First thing in the morning. Then gargle really intensely for
(27:52):
thirty seconds. Then splash your face with cold water. This
is gonna get your nervous system ready for the day,
primes your brain. Then it's good to go to the
bathroom and make sure you're in a make sure you
have a bowel movement. You want to do that first
thing in the morning, right when you get up. And
(28:15):
you should only have one bowel movement a day. First
thing in the morning, right when you get up. All right,
so we eat throughout the day when we need energy.
Now at night, don't eat, so you want to stop
eating at least four hours before bedtime. Idealistically, you're done
eating by six and you're going to bed by ten,
so that you got four hours from dinner to bedtime. Therefore,
(28:36):
you don't have any food in your stomach. You never
want to go to bed with a full stomach. You
always want to go to bed on an empty stomach. Therefore,
you can absorb digest detox from all the food you
eat during the day. Then when you wake up in
the morning, now you're ready to have your bowel movement
(28:57):
of all the stuff that willn't absorb a process and
bed stuff that you need to eliminate. If you keep
going to the bathroom, that means your first bowel movement
wasn't efficient, all right, So real good bowl moment, first
thing in the morning. That's it. When you have a
bowel movement, take a look. You want a nice s shape.
(29:18):
You want partial sinking, partial floating, all right, those are
important things to note. It shouldn't be ever a struggle
to push out. It should come out pretty easily. Those
are good bowel movements for your nation. You don't want
it too dark. You know that means you know you're dehydrated.
(29:40):
You don't want it too light. You know that means
you're not getting rid of the bad stuff either. All right,
So you gotta have good shape, good buoyancy for your
bowel movements. You gotta put good color for your urination.
That's first thing in the morning. So you've already done
oil pulling, you've done cold water on their face, you've
(30:03):
done gargling, you've had a bowel movement, you've urinated. Now
it's time to read. Read a page of your book.
I don't care if it's just one page, but read
every day. You know, if you could read ten pages, beautiful,
But I don't care if it's just one page. But
be consistent and read something that's beneficial. Something about your health,
(30:24):
something about self help, something educational. Something maybe help with
your job or business or finances, or something to help
with your spirituality or your charity. You know, something that's
gonna better your life or others around you, not just
some you know, sleazy romance novel. Like you know, read
(30:45):
something that's going to benefit you, even if it's education.
Hey I'm gonna learn Spanish or something, or you know,
read something good, not about celebrities or sports or the news,
something healthy. That's your morning power hour. You gotta read
at least one page of a book. Then you got
(31:07):
to write down your gratitude journal, something you're grateful for.
I don't care if it's just one thing I'm grateful.
I could see I'm grateful. I could hear. You know,
you should be grateful every morning you wake up. And
I heard this great interview and this guy goes, hey,
what if I gave you ten million dollars today? Would
that make you really happy? He's like, yeah, I'd be
(31:28):
pretty happy, he said, you know, pretty pretty hard to
get you upset after just giving you ten million dollars.
He sa, Yep, that would make me pretty happy. And
then he goes, what if I gave you this ten
million dollars but you couldn't wake up the next morning? Nope,
God doesn't even hesitate. I wouldn't take the ten million dollars.
Son An interview goes, so, what you're saying is that
(31:53):
waking up every morning is more valuable than ten million dollars,
And the guy goes, eh, I never thought about it
like that. So every morning you wake up, it's like
winning the lottery. You should be grateful just to wake up.
You should be grateful. You could see, you can hear,
you can pee, you can poop. You should be grateful.
(32:16):
You have a roop up over your head, you could
lock your door at night, You know where your next
meal is coming from. You got clothes on your back.
You have a family or friends that love you. You
live in in one of the best countries in the world.
You don't live in you know, some Middle East country
where women can't drive or they can't you know, show
their skin, or you're not living in you know, Ukraine
(32:39):
where you're getting bombed by Russians, or you're not living
in the you know, Israel where there's wars constantly, and
you know, you're not living in Venezuela where people are
starving to death, and you know in communist countries where
they're persecuting their citizens. I mean, you know, you have
to be thankful for everything. If you could walk, write
(33:01):
that down in your gratitude journal, if you could talk,
write that down in your gratitude journal every day. Be
grateful that you you know, you have a brain, that
you have a heart, that you have lungs, that you
have a kidney, a spleen, you know, I have a
patient that they had to sew his butt closed because
(33:26):
he had colitis. Very scary and he used to walk
around with the bag for the rest of his life.
So if you can poop, put that on your grateful list,
all right, So every day writes stuff that you're grateful
and then say it out loud. When you say it
(33:47):
out loud, it becomes more powerful. And negative stuff is
five times stronger than positive stuff. So if you're dealing
with you know, people at work, or you're dealing with
your family members, or your kids, or your spouse, whatever
it is, give them five good compliments first before the
(34:11):
one criticism. Right. If you're you know, raising your kids,
give them five compliments first before you're telling them what
they did wrong. And when you're talking about yourself, you know,
say five good things about yourself before you want to
criticize yourself, where usually are harshest critics. Right, You're so
(34:36):
much better, healthier, smarter, better looking than you ever give
yourself credit for. Right, So start talking positive about yourself.
Start talking positive about the people around you, about your job,
about your education, about your family, about your church, whatever
it is. But talk positive. You got to do it.
(34:58):
Five times more powerful, and if you say it out loud,
it's ten times more powerful than thinking it right. If
you think to yourself, hey, you know what, my memory
is pretty good, it's not as powerful as if you
say out loud, my memory is good. Say it out loud.
(35:19):
I'm healthy, I'm loving, I'm smart, and I'm handsome. Tell
yourself that, look in the mirror and say it. Write
it down. Write down your goals. You are what you think.
I don't care what your goals are. You know, if
your goal is to, you know, get a new pair
(35:40):
of glasses, you write that down every day till you
get a new pair of glasses. If you want, you know,
a new water heater, write it down every day to
you get that water heater. You want that new construction
project in your basement, write it down until it happens.
(36:00):
You want to get a promotion, write it down till
it happens. You want a new bike, write it down
till you get it. I always write down everything I
want in my life, and I always get it. But
if you don't write it down, you don't get it.
You gotta write it down, you gotta say it out loud.
(36:23):
It becomes more powerful. Remember, an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure. So you got to get
in these good habits, which include writing down your gratitude
journal and writing down your habits. Okay, now what's the
next habit? Water? You gotta go down in the kitchen,
(36:45):
get your filtered water, put your Celtic salt in there,
and chug a glass of lemon water first thing in
the morning. That's your morning power hour. Now you drank
your water. You did all your stuff upstairs. Now time
to exercise. I don't care if you go to the gym.
I don't care if you go for a run outside.
(37:05):
I don't care if you do your little bands in
your basement. I don't care if you take a dance class,
doomba class, a pilates class, a yoga class, an orange
theory class, a bar class. Do something. I don't care
if it's with people, without people at home, outside, at
(37:27):
the gym. Just exercise every day. Do something. I don't
care if you just run to the end of the
block and run back a thirty second exercise. But do
something where you just sweat a little bit, your heart
started beating, started breathing a little heavy. You gotta exercise
every day. Then you gotta come home, take a nice
shower and in cold, and your showering cold at your
(37:52):
morning power hour. And you got a meal prep, get
your healthy breakfast ready, get a healthy lunch ready. Know
what your healthy dinner is. If you're gonna be out
all day, make sure you got snacks. So you gotta
get your meals ready for the morning power hour. And
then you got to do like a little meditation so
you transition from home life to work life. Do a
(38:14):
little meditation. I don't care if it's a thirty second meditation,
but that's part of your mourning power hour. Thirty second meditation.
Everybody could do that to finish off your power hour
to prevent future problems so you function better, feel better,
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan
(38:36):
and you're listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches,
brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your
human potential and prevent future diseases. That this is the
show for you. Don't miss boost your brain power with
doctor Eric Kappa and you will learn natural, integrative, and
(39:02):
holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, autism,
add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four posture pain, TBI,
skin and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan is most famous for
getting to the root cause of a wide variety of
brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional
(39:25):
medicines and risky surgeries. To contact doctor Kamplin, you can
call his team at two oh one two six one
two one five zero or visit his website at kaplindc
dot com.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Function Better, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Caplan and you're listening to boost your
Brain PAP. So there's lots of ways to improve your
brain function and prevent future problems. One of the biggest
fears is Alzheimer's or dementia, and we can prevent that,
(40:01):
but you got to start now because Alzheimer's takes forty
years to develop. And we're seeing a lot of patients
that have had memory problems after COVID and it's been
five years and they're still having memory problems. What happens
is this super virus gets into the bloodstream and then
attacks the brain. So people lose their memory. They get
(40:24):
brain fog, depression, anxiety, even heart problems, stomach problems as
a result of this virus. So we got to kill
off the virus because if you have any little straggle
as they start attacking, and if you have inflammation or
an acidic environment, now they could replenish. Now, they could duplicate.
(40:44):
Now they could take over your body, especially if you're
not sleeping right, if you're stressed, if you're dehydrated, if
you're not eating right. So those things will put you
out of weakness. Now the virus could take over, and
we don't want this virus attacking your brain creating memory problems.
(41:04):
Heavy metals can attack the brain. Mercury, lead, aluminum, Stop
using aluminum foil, you know, aluminum cans, aluminum pans, aluminum deodorant.
There's aluminum in the air, there's aluminium medicine, it's everywhere.
You want to prevent dementia, Alzheimer's, Stay away from the aluminum.
(41:25):
Stay away from mercury. It's in your teeth, it's in
the fish. Stay away from lead, it's in the paint.
It's in the pipes, it's in the water. Stay away
from arsenic. It's in apple juice and brown rice. Stay
away from cadmium. It's in fried chicken. Right. We have
(41:50):
all these toxins in our environment. Fluoride, it's in our water.
Gotta filter that out. It's in our tooth based. Don't
get toothbased with fluoride. When you go to the dentist,
tell them you don't want the fluoride treatment. I mean
florid literally will lower your IQ. It's been proven scientifically.
(42:16):
You want to become stupid. More fluoride, more aluminum, more lead,
more mercury. You want to prevent Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, you
better start getting rid of this stuff. Get it out
of your life. You stainless steel cookware, glass containers, glass
(42:40):
water bottles, stainless steel glass storage. Stop using aluminum plastics, foils.
That stuff is toxic. Now. The most number one, most
important thing for prevention of Alzheimer's and dementia is novelty.
You gotta do new things. I want you to do
(43:03):
something new every single day. What did you do today
that's new that you've never done before? Think about it.
Have you done anything that's new. Reading is not new,
You've done that before. Right. The crossword puzzle is not new,
you've done it before. You know, Sudoku is not new,
(43:28):
You've done it. You gotta do stuff you've never done.
You got to meet new people, go to new places,
do new activities, sign up for new groups, join new clubs,
take new roots, prepare new meals, learn new languages, learn
(43:52):
a new instrument, learn a new dance, move new novelty.
Stuff you're not comfortable with. Get out of your comfort level.
Don't be creatures of habit, and your brain's gonna deteriorate,
and it might be already deteriorating. Now, Now, how do
you know if you're at risk for Parkinson's dementia, stroke,
(44:18):
Alzheimer's diabetes. How do we know if you're at risk
for depression, anxiety, headaches, dizzyness. How are we going to
prevent it if we don't know? Well, the key is
doing testing. I'm gonna tell you about three tests and
we're gonna give you big gift at the end. So
stick around for a few minutes and you'll get that.
(44:40):
The first test that's gonna help us discover if you
have an issue now or you're going to maybe have
an issue in the future. It's called a q EEG
brain mapping. A q EEG brain mapping is a really
easy test. There's no X rays, there's no radiation. It's
not an MRI. We're take contrast fluid. It's not these
(45:02):
scans where you gotta ligne some claustrophobic tube. Super easy.
Just sit in a chair, you wear this cap. It's
got electrodes attached to it, and all you do is
just close your eyes and it measures all your brain waves.
It measures your alpha brain waves, which how you are normally,
measures your beta brain waves, which is how you are
(45:24):
when you're really thinking and focusing or taking a test
or presenting. It measures your beta brain waves. That's when
you're daydreaming, you're in la la land, you're just kind
of looking at the window, watching the birds chirp, and
you know, kind of looking at nature, daydreaming that type
(45:45):
of stuff. And then you have your delta brain waves.
That's when you're sleeping, when you're at rest, relaxation. So
all these different brain waves. Now more important than the
brain waves is the location of where the these abnormal
brain waves occur. So with a qEEG brain mapping test,
(46:06):
we measure these brain waves and based on the location
of where the abnormal brain waves are, we can literally
diagnose which parts of the brain are abnormal and which
are functioning well. It'll tell us. Do you have sleep deprivation?
Do you have insomnia? Do you have a working memory problem?
(46:27):
Do you have a short term memory problem sequential memory?
Do you have long term memory? Do you have troubles
with focus? Do you get distracted easily? You have troubles
with attention? Do you have the depression anxiety? Do you
have problems with organization, time management, punctuality. Do you have
sensory issues tonight is floaters in the eyes, light sensitivity,
(46:49):
sound sensitivity, ringing in the ears. Do you have clumsiness
bumping into things? You have propioceptive issues? You feel weird
things on your skin? Weird senseas notumbness or tingling or
bugs crawling. Do you have skin problems? Do you have
dopamine problems with sety coline problems? Do you have a
thyroid problem. Do you have an intestinal inflammation? Do you
(47:11):
have brain inflammation? Do you have you know a concussion?
Do you have heavy metal poisoning, Do you have viral attacks,
do you have troubles with focus? And do you have
troubles with speech and executive functions and balance and coordination?
And the qEEG brain mapping literally picks everything up. It's amazing.
(47:37):
I love it. Patients love it because they could see
what's wrong and we give them the solution too, which
is even better. So sign up for this qEEG brain mapping.
We're gonna give you guys a gift. Just stick around
for the next minute and I'll let you know how
to take advantage of that. It's normally six hundred dollars,
but if you stick around, you could get it for
twenty one dollars. And the next best test, it's called
(48:01):
a VNG video nostography, and that is a test where
you wear these goggles and they got infrared cameras in
them and they measure your eye movements that go fast
and slow, and they go left and right, and they
go up and down, and with light and dark, and
with head movements and without and so it could literally
tells us which areas of the brain are overactive and
(48:22):
which areas of the brain are underactive. If they're overactive,
you're gonna have troubles with sleep, and your mind's racing,
and you got eighth D and you thinking a million
miles per hour, and you're overthinking everything, and you might
have anger and aggression, and you might have you know,
heart palpitations and tachycardia, and you might have problems with
(48:45):
anxiety and high stress and increased cortisol levels and hormonal stuff.
That's everything's overactive. The vg will pick that up. And
it'll also pick up what's underactive depression, low motivation, bad memory,
fatigue for metabolism, obesity, So all these things occur from
(49:10):
a brain that's underactive. The VNG will pick up and
is it the right side is, the left side is
at the front door. The parietal picks up which side
which lob of the brain, which is overactive, which is underactive?
I love this VNG, no radiation, no side effects. It's
also normally six hundred dollars, but for the first seven
people to call it text or email, you could get
(49:33):
the BNG for only twenty one dollars. The third test
is called a qEEG I'm sorry. It's called a one
on one test with me. And what we do there
is check your memory. We check your heart, your lungs,
your gut, your balance, your coordination. I go over your
q EEG, I go over your VNG. We go for
(49:55):
blood work if you've done any MRIs or cat scans.
Takes about forty five minutes. We come up with a
complete diagnosis, a prognosis, and treatment recommendations. That one on
one with me is normally six hundred dollars, but for
the first seven people to call text or email you
can get it for only twenty one dollars. You could
(50:16):
do virtual also, if you're far away and you don't
want to come to my New York office or my
New Jersey office, you could do a virtual visit. So
we do that over FaceTime or Zoom or WhatsApp or
any you know medical apps that you may have, so
we're able to diagnose you as well as give you
recommendations over the internet as well. But you got to
(50:38):
be one of the first seven people to call text
or email to get the one on one with me
for only twenty one dollars. And if you want all three,
just say I want all three tests for twenty one
dollars each call text or email. Here is the number

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric CAPLM, and you're listening to boost your
brain power. Now, don't come to me if you want
a doctor that's going to prescribe drugs to hide the symptoms.
(00:30):
Don't come to me. If you want to just find
out which supplement you need to take to fix your symptoms,
or which herb you want to take to fix your symptoms,
or which iv or injection you need to take to
fix your symptoms. That is not what I do. I
(00:50):
am a functional neurologist. So instead of covering up symptoms
with pills or supplements or vitamins or herbs or homeopathic
remedies or ivy injections and medications and drugs, what we
do is get to the root cause, figure out what's
(01:13):
the problem, not just cover it up with a band aid,
but actually say why are you getting this condition? You've
got to know the why, because there's always a why.
Once you figure out the why, then you could come
up with the appropriate treatment. You know, I had a
(01:34):
wide variety of patients today, many of them having migraines. However,
each migraine patient was a little bit different. One it
had to do with her stress levels, so we had
to make sure we worked on her autonomic nervous system.
(01:56):
Another had to do with her hydration, so we need
to make sure she drinks half her body weight in
ounces of water every day on an empty stomach. And
then we made sure she's getting the Celtic salt to
bring the minerals to you absorb the water. Most people
(02:17):
who drink water, you know, especially are those plastic water
bottles such as you know Poland Spring or you know
Desani or Aquafina or you know whatever they have there.
Those don't get absorbed. You end up drinking the water
and peeing out the water. But you also have the
side effects of all the plastics in those plastic water bottles.
(02:40):
Those plastics are endocrine disruptors. Those plastics are toxic. They
can lead to cancer, They can cause inflammation, digestive problems, allergies,
all right, So it's not just drinking water, it's making
sure you get filtered water. I like reverse osmosis, and
then I put in the salt, the pinkameleine salt or
(03:03):
the Celtic salt, which has about eighty six minerals. Therefore,
you're going to absorb the water so they don't just
pee it out right. And if you absorb the water,
that could get rid of your migraines. I had another patient.
It was due to her poor posture and the way
(03:23):
her bones were positioned. So we also had another patient
it was inflammation in the brain. We had another patient
she had poor cerebral spinal fluid flow. We had another
patient and had an unhealthy diet and she was reacting
(03:44):
to the foods she was eating. But they're all migraines,
And what does the doctor do give you a migraine
medication As a functional doctor, as a functional neurologist, I
have to feel or where does the migraine come from?
And if it's stressed, we got to reduce the stress.
(04:05):
If it's water, we need to increase the water. If
it's the food, we need to improve the diet. If
it's the posture, we got to work on the pasture.
If it's circulation, work on blood flow. If it's inflammation,
bringing down that inflammation. If it's hormonal, I had another patient.
Hers was related to her hormones. She always got it
(04:26):
during her period. We need to fix her thyroid, and
her headaches went away. Right, So you got to get
to the root cause. Most of these doctors are just
treating symptoms. Right. We got to stop treating symptoms and
we have to get to the root cause of the problem.
(04:50):
And that's what I do with cap and brain and body.
We get to the root cause of the problem. No
more band aids, no more temporary solutions. Right. If you
have pain, you can, you know, get a massage, but
then the next day the muscles tightened up again. Mine.
(05:13):
You can take a title Knoll or an aspirin, but
it's not actually fixing the problem. Now what do I
do as a functional doctor? If you come to me
with pain, I'm gonna figure out where is the pain
coming from? Why do you have the pain to begin with?
Do you have inflammation? Do you have autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis?
(05:37):
Do you have some bony issue. Do you have a
spondyl osthesis. Do you have a herniated disk? Do you
have nerve interferenced do you have muscle spasm? You have
bones out of position? Do you have a brain issue
where you're increased to pain, sensitivity, poor nutrition, dehydration, poor circulation.
(06:07):
It's not a deficiency of tail and all. You don't
have pain because of a perkostet deficiency or a vicotin deficiency.
But that's what doctors give you. Perkostet viking And you
know what, this stuff has heroin. It's an opioid. They
(06:29):
have heroin in them. So these pain killers that we're
given for back pain, neck pain, headaches, whatever it is,
is actually heroin in a pill. Right. A lot of
these drugs, you know, they're just legalized amphetamines, legalized opioids. Right,
(06:53):
So it's just like these street drugs. But now the
pharmaceutical companies are making money. Stop taking these painkillers to
hide your symptoms. As a functional doctor, I always get
to the root cause of the pain. Now, the pain
is protecting you. If you have back pain and you
(07:16):
take an aspirin or a tie and all or a
pain killer or an anti inflammatory and said or an opioid,
a pergistead viking in right, So these drugs are gonna
hide your symptoms. Now because you don't have pain, you
(07:37):
might do stuff you're not supposed to right. So maybe
that back pain was preventing you from bending down to
tie your shoes, because if you did bend down to
tie your shoes, now you're gonna cause more nerve compression,
more disc problems, more muscle spath them. So the brain
gives you pain and says stop, don't bend over anymore.
(08:02):
But if you interrupt those signals with medication, now you're
gonna end up doing stuff you're not supposed to. Now
the brain isn't protecting you. Now you're gonna do something
that can aggravate your condition and prolong your recovery period.
Is that the smart idea? My opinion, not so much.
(08:26):
I think it's better to have the pain because that
pain is going to prevent you from doing an activity
that's going to aggravate you. It's protecting you. The body's
always protecting you. If you have pain, it's protecting your nerves.
(08:46):
If you have a fever, it's heating up to kill
off the virus. If you have a tumor, it's keeping
these cancer cells and encapsulated so they don't infect the
rest of your body. Your body smart. When you have
(09:09):
that headache, it's telling you there's something wrong. It's letting
you know there's a problem. But the key is to
get to the root cause of the problem, not hide symptoms.
Get to the root cause because once you get to
the root cause, then you could fix the problem. All right,
(09:33):
So stop taking pills to cover up symptoms, and that's
including natural stuff. Right. If you can't sleep, don't take melatonin.
Figure out why you can't sleep. If you take melatonin,
then your brain says, oh, you're producing melatonin for me.
(09:53):
I don't need to produce it on my own, and
then it actually decreases the melatonin production. Right. You're not
smarter than the human body. So you got to get
to the root cause. Why aren't you sleeping? Is your
brain overactive? Or you're not breathing properly, You're not in
(10:16):
a good position. Is the room temperature too high? Do
you have too much stimulation in the room? Do you
have Wi Fi in the room or electricity? Uh? Did
you eat too late at night? Did you check your
cell phone right before bed? Did you watch the news
(10:39):
before bedtime? Do you have an issue with your sympathetic
nervous system. Do you have an issue with your peneal
gland a thyroid issue, your gernal gland, your kidneys, or
your cortisol levels too high. There could be a lot
of reasons for sleeping difficulties, but as a functionalrologist, we
get to the root. Car I don't just write a
(11:01):
prescription for ambient That's not the best way to solve
your sleeping difficulties. I don't just give you a sea pap,
which is this mask you have to wear to help
you sleep. I say, how come you're not breathing? How
come your brain's not turning off? Once we figure out
the why, then we could come up with the solution. Right.
If you have high blood pressure, you don't just take
(11:24):
high blood pressures. Figure out why you have high blood pressure?
Is it your diet? Is it your sedentary lifestyle? Is
it your stress? Is it too much inflammation? Is it dehydration? Right,
so you gotta figure out, Hey, why do you have diabetes?
Too much soda sugar? Are you eating late at night? Right?
(11:48):
So you figure out why. Once you figure out why,
then we come up with the solution. So if you
want a doctor that wants to figure out the why,
then CAPL and Brain and Body is for you. For
more information, check out our website. Kaplindc dot com, or
you could join us on social media. We have Facebook

better and live a better life. This is doctor Eric
(12:33):

Speaker 3 (12:37):
If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches,
brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your

doctor Eric Kaplan and you will learn naturalive and holistic
(13:01):
approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism,
add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four posture pain, TBI,
skin and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan is most famous for
getting to the root cause of a wide variety of
brain and health conditions rather than treating symptoms with traditional
(13:24):
medicines and risky surgeries. To contact the doctor Kamplin, you

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Function better, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Aplin, and you're listening to boost your
brain power. We're going to talk about the importance of weightlifting.
Weightlifting is one of the most important things you could
do to improve your health and well being. First of all,
(14:00):
it's gonna make your muscles stronger, all right. We need
to get our muscles stronger. Everybody is too weak these days,
all right, and you have to be super strong throughout
your life. They did some research people who could do
push ups, and they found out people who could do
(14:24):
ten pushups right are ninety five percent less likely to
get a heart attack or a stroke versus someone who
can't do ten push ups. So by doing ten pushups
(14:47):
every day, you're not only getting your muscles stronger, but
you're preventing heart attack and stroke just by doing ten
push ups a day. If you're able to do ten
pushups a day, your mood will get boosted. You have
(15:09):
a walking pharmacy inside your muscles. If you have anxiety
and depression, one of the best things you could do
is weight resistant exercises, And especially with depression, you have
to make progression. So start off with five pounds and
(15:31):
five reps. But then you got to go to six
reps and seven reps and eight reps, and then you
go from five pounds to ten pounds to fifteen to
twenty pounds, so you got to keep on increasing your workload.
That's one of the quickest ways to get out of
the depression is to make progression in physical exercise. So
(15:54):
the quickest, easiest, safest route to take. So when you
do weight resistant exercises, it's gonna get your muscle stronger.
And as your muscles get stronger, you get rid of fat. Now,
if you follow my suggestions every week on how to
(16:18):
get healthy, how to eat healthy, how to exercise more,
when you lose weight, you're gonna lose eighty percent fat
and twenty percent muscle. If you lose weight with ozembic
and these diabetes medications, you're gonna lose eighty percent muscle
(16:43):
and only twenty percent fat. That's scary. So your muscle's
gonna become weaker. Your bones gonna become weaker, your brain's
gonna become weaker. Guess what else is a muscle? Your heart.
Your heart's gonna become weaker. Your intestines are muscles. They're
gonna become weaker. So your cardiovascular system gets weaker, your
neurologic system gets weaker, your gastrointestinal system gets weaker. By
(17:06):
taking these diabetes medication, they're dangerous. They're not telling you
the truth that you're losing eighty percent muscle that you
need and you're only losing twenty percent fat. Very scary,
So do it the right way. They're eating healthy, exercising,
(17:28):
intermittent fasting, reducing your stress, going to bed early. That's
the way to lose weight. Anybody could do it. I
mean this week alone, you know, I've had seven, eight
to nine patients all say that they're losing all this
weight just by doing these simple changes of their daily life.
Every day we hear this thing. You can do it.
(17:52):
You just have to eat real food. Stop eating stuff
in boxes and cans and bags will process foods, food dies, preservatives,
artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, it's all crap, it's all toxic.
Be like a hunter gatherer whenever you could hunt, whatever
(18:15):
you could gather. We're not talking about stuff that's made
in factories and processed and put in cans and bags.
We're talking about real food that comes directly from the earth.
It's not that complicated, real food directly from the earth,
(18:38):
all right, So you always want to make sure that
you eat the colors of the rainbow every day. Something
that's red, right, so, have some strawberries, something that's orange,
Have some carrots, something that's yellow, Have some squash, something
(18:59):
that's green. Have some cucumbers, something that's blue. Have some
blueberries or blackberries. Something that's purple, you know, purple leaf, lettuce,
or the purple onions, grapes, plums, eggplant. There's a lot
(19:26):
of options. Just pick something every day where you eat
all the colors of the rainbow, and then avoid all
the white foods, right, sugar, dairy, flour, bread, rice, potatoes, cereals, crackers, alcohol, cream, cheese,
(19:52):
sour cream, yogurt, cheese. Stay away from all that white stuff,
all the dairy, all the sugar, all the bread products.
That causes a lot of inflammation, right, So you can
you know reverse any condition by getting to the root
(20:15):
cause of it. I don't care whether it's heart disease, diabetes. Right,
So not only do we have to lift weights, but
we got to eat healthy two Now, when lifting weights,
it is the best way to prevent osteoporosis. Right. You
(20:36):
don't need medication when you have osteoporosis. You need to
do weights, weight resistant exercises. The science is there. There's
nothing more powerful than weight resistant exercise. Stop taking calcium pills.
Oh my gosh. Every day a patient comes in and says, oh,
(20:57):
I'm taking calcium. I'm so why are you taking? Oh
I have osteoporosis. Oh I'm getting older. Oh I don't
drink milk. Oh my doctor told me to. You gotta
stop with the calcium pills. The calcium supplements are the
most dangerous supplement you could take. They can lead to cancer,
they can cause brain disorders, heart disease, arthritis. We don't
(21:22):
want to take calcium now. If you're severely deficient, that's
a different story. But you gotta check your blood work
and if you have osteoporosis or osteopenia, that doesn't mean
you're calcium deficient. It means your bones are weak. And
most of the time it's got nothing to do with calcium.
(21:43):
But almost all the time it has to do with
no weight resistant exercises, sedentary lifestyle, not getting up sunlight,
and low vitamin D. Ninety percent of people who have osteoporosis.
That's the reason. So start lifting weights. Makes your muscle stronger,
(22:05):
it makes your bones stronger, it makes your mood better,
It improves your heart, your circulation, your hormones. My god,
I see so many patients with a rectile dysfunction, and
(22:25):
the first thing I tell them is, you gotta start
lifting weights. Yes, there's a lot of brain issues with that.
We gotta work on the autonomics, we gotta work on
the hormones, the thyroid, gotta work on the circulation, the
blood flow. So there's lots of stuff that we need
to do. But my first assignment that I give them
to do at home is weight resistant exercises. Weightlifting. That's
(22:49):
gonna increase your testosterone when you do weight resistant exercise,
that's going to improve your sleep. When people come to
me with sleep decoration, insomnia, low energy fatigue, we get
them to lift weights. The benefit of weightlifting is unmeasurable,
(23:10):
and it doesn't necessarily have to be a gym membershit
and you don't even necessarily have to buy dumbbells or
any weights. You could use your own body weight like
a pull up. You could go to the park and
try and do pull ups. You could do push ups.
If you're doing pushups, I recommend I'm using push up
bars so you don't hurt your wrist. You can do
(23:34):
like chair sits. There's lots of you know, weight resistant
stuff that you can just use your own body weight.
You can use your own kids. I just to do
that all the time, you know, from when they were babies,
I would use as the weights and you know, do
shoulder presses, and as they got bigger, you know, I
progress with my weightlifting. You can use grocery bags with
(23:59):
bottle there's water in there to do resistant exercise. You
can use those exercise bands. You can get a TRX strap.
You know, there's so many different ways to do weight
resistant exercises outside of weights. But you gotta do it
(24:19):
because you got to deposit those minerals in the bones.
You gotta resist, You gotta struggle a little bit, you
gotta be some soreness if it's too easy, you're not
going to gain any muscle mass. Right. If you're doing
bicep curls with a pencil, you can do one hundred reps,
but that's not going to do anything. It's better to
do something really heavy and only do four reps. But
(24:42):
you struggle, you gotta be uncomfortable. That's when you gain
the most muscle mass. Now, a good trick I learned
from Arnold schwartzenegg Or about weightlifting is what you do
is you do whatever you're doing, a bench press, a girl, triceps, squats,
whatever it is, lunges. So you do it until you
(25:04):
can't do any more. Then you start counting. Let's say
I'm doing bicep curls. I do one, two, three, and
I do twenty bysepcurls and now oh I can't do
any more. Okay, Now I'm gonna start counting, and I'm
gonna say one more, two more, and whatever it is.
Those last two are the ones that gain the most
(25:29):
muscle mass, and that will help you function better, feel better,
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Caplan.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
This is doctor Eric Caplan and you're listening to boost
your brain power. Now. An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure. Now, how do you prevent? The
key to prevention is creating good habits, and it all
starts out with your morning power hour. That first hour
(27:05):
in the morning should be focused on you and your health.
And if you have to wake up a little bit earlier.
Wake up a little bit earlier, so I wake up
super early before my wife wakes up, before my kids
wake up, so I can have my power hour, so
I could do everything I need to do to get
my day going. And what's the power hour? Wake up
(27:28):
and do oil pulling, which is coconut oil. You swish
coconut oil all around your mouth, and then you do
it just for thirty seconds every morning, and then spit
it out in the garbage. Not in the sink because
that'll mess up your pipes, but spit it out in
the garbage and that gets rid of all your bacteria.
First thing in the morning. Then gargle really intensely for
(27:52):
thirty seconds. Then splash your face with cold water. This
is gonna get your nervous system ready for the day,
primes your brain. Then it's good to go to the
bathroom and make sure you're in a make sure you
have a bowel movement. You want to do that first
thing in the morning, right when you get up. And
(28:15):
you should only have one bowel movement a day. First
thing in the morning, right when you get up. All right,
so we eat throughout the day when we need energy.
Now at night, don't eat, so you want to stop
eating at least four hours before bedtime. Idealistically, you're done
eating by six and you're going to bed by ten,
so that you got four hours from dinner to bedtime. Therefore,
(28:36):
you don't have any food in your stomach. You never
want to go to bed with a full stomach. You
always want to go to bed on an empty stomach. Therefore,
you can absorb digest detox from all the food you
eat during the day. Then when you wake up in
the morning, now you're ready to have your bowel movement
(28:57):
of all the stuff that willn't absorb a process and
bed stuff that you need to eliminate. If you keep
going to the bathroom, that means your first bowel movement
wasn't efficient, all right, So real good bowl moment, first
thing in the morning. That's it. When you have a
bowel movement, take a look. You want a nice s shape.
(29:18):
You want partial sinking, partial floating, all right, those are
important things to note. It shouldn't be ever a struggle
to push out. It should come out pretty easily. Those
are good bowel movements for your nation. You don't want
it too dark. You know that means you know you're dehydrated.
(29:40):
You don't want it too light. You know that means
you're not getting rid of the bad stuff either. All right,
So you gotta have good shape, good buoyancy for your
bowel movements. You gotta put good color for your urination.
That's first thing in the morning. So you've already done
oil pulling, you've done cold water on their face, you've
(30:03):
done gargling, you've had a bowel movement, you've urinated. Now
it's time to read. Read a page of your book.
I don't care if it's just one page, but read
every day. You know, if you could read ten pages, beautiful,
But I don't care if it's just one page. But
be consistent and read something that's beneficial. Something about your health,
(30:24):
something about self help, something educational. Something maybe help with
your job or business or finances, or something to help
with your spirituality or your charity. You know, something that's
gonna better your life or others around you, not just
some you know, sleazy romance novel. Like you know, read
(30:45):
something that's going to benefit you, even if it's education.
Hey I'm gonna learn Spanish or something, or you know,
read something good, not about celebrities or sports or the news,
something healthy. That's your morning power hour. You gotta read
at least one page of a book. Then you got
(31:07):
to write down your gratitude journal, something you're grateful for.
I don't care if it's just one thing I'm grateful.
I could see I'm grateful. I could hear. You know,
you should be grateful every morning you wake up. And
I heard this great interview and this guy goes, hey,
what if I gave you ten million dollars today? Would
that make you really happy? He's like, yeah, I'd be
(31:28):
pretty happy, he said, you know, pretty pretty hard to
get you upset after just giving you ten million dollars.
He sa, Yep, that would make me pretty happy. And
then he goes, what if I gave you this ten
million dollars but you couldn't wake up the next morning? Nope,
God doesn't even hesitate. I wouldn't take the ten million dollars.
Son An interview goes, so, what you're saying is that
(31:53):
waking up every morning is more valuable than ten million dollars,
And the guy goes, eh, I never thought about it
like that. So every morning you wake up, it's like
winning the lottery. You should be grateful just to wake up.
You should be grateful. You could see, you can hear,
you can pee, you can poop. You should be grateful.
(32:16):
You have a roop up over your head, you could
lock your door at night, You know where your next
meal is coming from. You got clothes on your back.
You have a family or friends that love you. You
live in in one of the best countries in the world.
You don't live in you know, some Middle East country
where women can't drive or they can't you know, show
their skin, or you're not living in you know, Ukraine
(32:39):
where you're getting bombed by Russians, or you're not living
in the you know, Israel where there's wars constantly, and
you know, you're not living in Venezuela where people are
starving to death, and you know in communist countries where
they're persecuting their citizens. I mean, you know, you have
to be thankful for everything. If you could walk, write
(33:01):
that down in your gratitude journal, if you could talk,
write that down in your gratitude journal every day. Be
grateful that you you know, you have a brain, that
you have a heart, that you have lungs, that you
have a kidney, a spleen, you know, I have a
patient that they had to sew his butt closed because
(33:26):
he had colitis. Very scary and he used to walk
around with the bag for the rest of his life.
So if you can poop, put that on your grateful list,
all right, So every day writes stuff that you're grateful
and then say it out loud. When you say it
(33:47):
out loud, it becomes more powerful. And negative stuff is
five times stronger than positive stuff. So if you're dealing
with you know, people at work, or you're dealing with
your family members, or your kids, or your spouse, whatever
it is, give them five good compliments first before the
(34:11):
one criticism. Right. If you're you know, raising your kids,
give them five compliments first before you're telling them what
they did wrong. And when you're talking about yourself, you know,
say five good things about yourself before you want to
criticize yourself, where usually are harshest critics. Right, You're so
(34:36):
much better, healthier, smarter, better looking than you ever give
yourself credit for. Right, So start talking positive about yourself.
Start talking positive about the people around you, about your job,
about your education, about your family, about your church, whatever
it is. But talk positive. You got to do it.
(34:58):
Five times more powerful, and if you say it out loud,
it's ten times more powerful than thinking it right. If
you think to yourself, hey, you know what, my memory
is pretty good, it's not as powerful as if you
say out loud, my memory is good. Say it out loud.
(35:19):
I'm healthy, I'm loving, I'm smart, and I'm handsome. Tell
yourself that, look in the mirror and say it. Write
it down. Write down your goals. You are what you think.
I don't care what your goals are. You know, if
your goal is to, you know, get a new pair
(35:40):
of glasses, you write that down every day till you
get a new pair of glasses. If you want, you know,
a new water heater, write it down every day to
you get that water heater. You want that new construction
project in your basement, write it down until it happens.
(36:00):
You want to get a promotion, write it down till
it happens. You want a new bike, write it down
till you get it. I always write down everything I
want in my life, and I always get it. But
if you don't write it down, you don't get it.
You gotta write it down, you gotta say it out loud.
(36:23):
It becomes more powerful. Remember, an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure. So you got to get
in these good habits, which include writing down your gratitude
journal and writing down your habits. Okay, now what's the
next habit? Water? You gotta go down in the kitchen,
(36:45):
get your filtered water, put your Celtic salt in there,
and chug a glass of lemon water first thing in
the morning. That's your morning power hour. Now you drank
your water. You did all your stuff upstairs. Now time
to exercise. I don't care if you go to the gym.
I don't care if you go for a run outside.
(37:05):
I don't care if you do your little bands in
your basement. I don't care if you take a dance class,
doomba class, a pilates class, a yoga class, an orange
theory class, a bar class. Do something. I don't care
if it's with people, without people at home, outside, at
(37:27):
the gym. Just exercise every day. Do something. I don't
care if you just run to the end of the
block and run back a thirty second exercise. But do
something where you just sweat a little bit, your heart
started beating, started breathing a little heavy. You gotta exercise
every day. Then you gotta come home, take a nice
shower and in cold, and your showering cold at your
(37:52):
morning power hour. And you got a meal prep, get
your healthy breakfast ready, get a healthy lunch ready. Know
what your healthy dinner is. If you're gonna be out
all day, make sure you got snacks. So you gotta
get your meals ready for the morning power hour. And
then you got to do like a little meditation so
you transition from home life to work life. Do a
(38:14):
little meditation. I don't care if it's a thirty second meditation,
but that's part of your mourning power hour. Thirty second meditation.
Everybody could do that to finish off your power hour
to prevent future problems so you function better, feel better,
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan
(38:36):
and you're listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches,
brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your
human potential and prevent future diseases. That this is the
show for you. Don't miss boost your brain power with
doctor Eric Kappa and you will learn natural, integrative, and
(39:02):
holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, autism,
add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four posture pain, TBI,
skin and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan is most famous for
getting to the root cause of a wide variety of
brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional
(39:25):
medicines and risky surgeries. To contact doctor Kamplin, you can
call his team at two oh one two six one
two one five zero or visit his website at kaplindc
dot com.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Function Better, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Caplan and you're listening to boost your
Brain PAP. So there's lots of ways to improve your
brain function and prevent future problems. One of the biggest
fears is Alzheimer's or dementia, and we can prevent that,
(40:01):
but you got to start now because Alzheimer's takes forty
years to develop. And we're seeing a lot of patients
that have had memory problems after COVID and it's been
five years and they're still having memory problems. What happens
is this super virus gets into the bloodstream and then
attacks the brain. So people lose their memory. They get
(40:24):
brain fog, depression, anxiety, even heart problems, stomach problems as
a result of this virus. So we got to kill
off the virus because if you have any little straggle
as they start attacking, and if you have inflammation or
an acidic environment, now they could replenish. Now, they could duplicate.
(40:44):
Now they could take over your body, especially if you're
not sleeping right, if you're stressed, if you're dehydrated, if
you're not eating right. So those things will put you
out of weakness. Now the virus could take over, and
we don't want this virus attacking your brain creating memory problems.
(41:04):
Heavy metals can attack the brain. Mercury, lead, aluminum, Stop
using aluminum foil, you know, aluminum cans, aluminum pans, aluminum deodorant.
There's aluminum in the air, there's aluminium medicine, it's everywhere.
You want to prevent dementia, Alzheimer's, Stay away from the aluminum.
(41:25):
Stay away from mercury. It's in your teeth, it's in
the fish. Stay away from lead, it's in the paint.
It's in the pipes, it's in the water. Stay away
from arsenic. It's in apple juice and brown rice. Stay
away from cadmium. It's in fried chicken. Right. We have
(41:50):
all these toxins in our environment. Fluoride, it's in our water.
Gotta filter that out. It's in our tooth based. Don't
get toothbased with fluoride. When you go to the dentist,
tell them you don't want the fluoride treatment. I mean
florid literally will lower your IQ. It's been proven scientifically.
(42:16):
You want to become stupid. More fluoride, more aluminum, more lead,
more mercury. You want to prevent Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, you
better start getting rid of this stuff. Get it out
of your life. You stainless steel cookware, glass containers, glass
(42:40):
water bottles, stainless steel glass storage. Stop using aluminum plastics, foils.
That stuff is toxic. Now. The most number one, most
important thing for prevention of Alzheimer's and dementia is novelty.
You gotta do new things. I want you to do
(43:03):
something new every single day. What did you do today
that's new that you've never done before? Think about it.
Have you done anything that's new. Reading is not new,
You've done that before. Right. The crossword puzzle is not new,
you've done it before. You know, Sudoku is not new,
(43:28):
You've done it. You gotta do stuff you've never done.
You got to meet new people, go to new places,
do new activities, sign up for new groups, join new clubs,
take new roots, prepare new meals, learn new languages, learn
(43:52):
a new instrument, learn a new dance, move new novelty.
Stuff you're not comfortable with. Get out of your comfort level.
Don't be creatures of habit, and your brain's gonna deteriorate,
and it might be already deteriorating. Now, Now, how do
you know if you're at risk for Parkinson's dementia, stroke,
(44:18):
Alzheimer's diabetes. How do we know if you're at risk
for depression, anxiety, headaches, dizzyness. How are we going to
prevent it if we don't know? Well, the key is
doing testing. I'm gonna tell you about three tests and
we're gonna give you big gift at the end. So
stick around for a few minutes and you'll get that.
(44:40):
The first test that's gonna help us discover if you
have an issue now or you're going to maybe have
an issue in the future. It's called a q EEG
brain mapping. A q EEG brain mapping is a really
easy test. There's no X rays, there's no radiation. It's
not an MRI. We're take contrast fluid. It's not these
(45:02):
scans where you gotta ligne some claustrophobic tube. Super easy.
Just sit in a chair, you wear this cap. It's
got electrodes attached to it, and all you do is
just close your eyes and it measures all your brain waves.
It measures your alpha brain waves, which how you are normally,
measures your beta brain waves, which is how you are
(45:24):
when you're really thinking and focusing or taking a test
or presenting. It measures your beta brain waves. That's when
you're daydreaming, you're in la la land, you're just kind
of looking at the window, watching the birds chirp, and
you know, kind of looking at nature, daydreaming that type
(45:45):
of stuff. And then you have your delta brain waves.
That's when you're sleeping, when you're at rest, relaxation. So
all these different brain waves. Now more important than the
brain waves is the location of where the these abnormal
brain waves occur. So with a qEEG brain mapping test,
(46:06):
we measure these brain waves and based on the location
of where the abnormal brain waves are, we can literally
diagnose which parts of the brain are abnormal and which
are functioning well. It'll tell us. Do you have sleep deprivation?
Do you have insomnia? Do you have a working memory problem?
(46:27):
Do you have a short term memory problem sequential memory?
Do you have long term memory? Do you have troubles
with focus? Do you get distracted easily? You have troubles
with attention? Do you have the depression anxiety? Do you
have problems with organization, time management, punctuality. Do you have
sensory issues tonight is floaters in the eyes, light sensitivity,
(46:49):
sound sensitivity, ringing in the ears. Do you have clumsiness
bumping into things? You have propioceptive issues? You feel weird
things on your skin? Weird senseas notumbness or tingling or
bugs crawling. Do you have skin problems? Do you have
dopamine problems with sety coline problems? Do you have a
thyroid problem. Do you have an intestinal inflammation? Do you
(47:11):
have brain inflammation? Do you have you know a concussion?
Do you have heavy metal poisoning, Do you have viral attacks,
do you have troubles with focus? And do you have
troubles with speech and executive functions and balance and coordination?
And the qEEG brain mapping literally picks everything up. It's amazing.
(47:37):
I love it. Patients love it because they could see
what's wrong and we give them the solution too, which
is even better. So sign up for this qEEG brain mapping.
We're gonna give you guys a gift. Just stick around
for the next minute and I'll let you know how
to take advantage of that. It's normally six hundred dollars,
but if you stick around, you could get it for
twenty one dollars. And the next best test, it's called
(48:01):
a VNG video nostography, and that is a test where
you wear these goggles and they got infrared cameras in
them and they measure your eye movements that go fast
and slow, and they go left and right, and they
go up and down, and with light and dark, and
with head movements and without and so it could literally
tells us which areas of the brain are overactive and
(48:22):
which areas of the brain are underactive. If they're overactive,
you're gonna have troubles with sleep, and your mind's racing,
and you got eighth D and you thinking a million
miles per hour, and you're overthinking everything, and you might
have anger and aggression, and you might have you know,
heart palpitations and tachycardia, and you might have problems with
(48:45):
anxiety and high stress and increased cortisol levels and hormonal stuff.
That's everything's overactive. The vg will pick that up. And
it'll also pick up what's underactive depression, low motivation, bad memory,
fatigue for metabolism, obesity, So all these things occur from
(49:10):
a brain that's underactive. The VNG will pick up and
is it the right side is, the left side is
at the front door. The parietal picks up which side
which lob of the brain, which is overactive, which is underactive?
I love this VNG, no radiation, no side effects. It's
also normally six hundred dollars, but for the first seven
people to call it text or email, you could get
(49:33):
the BNG for only twenty one dollars. The third test
is called a qEEG I'm sorry. It's called a one
on one test with me. And what we do there
is check your memory. We check your heart, your lungs,
your gut, your balance, your coordination. I go over your
q EEG, I go over your VNG. We go for
(49:55):
blood work if you've done any MRIs or cat scans.
Takes about forty five minutes. We come up with a
complete diagnosis, a prognosis, and treatment recommendations. That one on
one with me is normally six hundred dollars, but for
the first seven people to call text or email you
can get it for only twenty one dollars. You could
(50:16):
do virtual also, if you're far away and you don't
want to come to my New York office or my
New Jersey office, you could do a virtual visit. So
we do that over FaceTime or Zoom or WhatsApp or
any you know medical apps that you may have, so
we're able to diagnose you as well as give you
recommendations over the internet as well. But you got to
(50:38):
be one of the first seven people to call text
or email to get the one on one with me
for only twenty one dollars. And if you want all three,
just say I want all three tests for twenty one
dollars each call text or email. Here is the number
six four six two two one, six, seven three eight.
The email is info at Kapler, Brainbody dot com. Tell
(51:01):
them you listen to the show Kaplan Uh, Brain and
