Speaker 3 (00:17):
Hello, and welcome to boost your brain power. I'm your host,
doctor Eric Kaplan. So one of ways to boost your
brain power is to lose weight. So people who have
obesity excessive fact, their brains aren't going to function properly.

(00:38):
If you have diabetes, that makes you more likely to
get Alzheimer's or dementia. In fact, they're thinking about changing
the name of Alzheimer's disease to diabetes type three. So
what does that mean If we want our brain to
function best. At the same time lose weight, we have

(00:59):
to make sure we prevent diabetes. So we want to
we don't want to have a lot of sugar. You
really have to limit your sugar. Sugar is addictive. In fact,
sugar is more addictive than cocaine. They did research with
these rats and they gave them cocaine, so they got
addicted to it. Then they gave them sugar, so they

(01:21):
got addicted to that. Then they gave these rats a choice.
They can only choose one, the sugar or the cocaine,
because whenever they chose, the door would close and guess what.
They chose the sugar over the cocaine. Sugar is literally
more addictive than cocaine. So we have to stay away

(01:44):
from sugar. And sugar is everywhere. Sugar is in bread,
it's not just the cookies and the cake and the candy.
It's in juice, it's in soda, it's in your coffee,
it's in your tea, it's your food, it's in when
you go to restaurants, it's in your sauces, your ketchups,

(02:04):
your you know, sugar is everywhere, and don't eat anything
that's sugar free. So you don't want to eat sugar,
But you also don't want to eat sugar free because
if it's sugar free, they're just replacing it with some
artificial sweeteners such as aspartain, which leads to cancer as

(02:27):
well as inflammatory diseases such as heart disease and Alzheimer's cancer.
We want to really stay away from sugar and from
all the sugar replacements. Now, another easy thing to help
you lose weight is to just eat one ingredient foods.

(02:50):
So eat lots of fruits and veggies, Eat your nuts,
eat your seeds, Eat your fish and your eggs, and
your chicken and your turkey and your you know, pork,
and your steak. But stay away from the bread because
that's got ten ingredients. Stay away from anything in boxes,

(03:11):
in cans, in bags, so it's got more than one ingredient.
We want to stay away from it. Only get things
that have one ingredient, fresh, real food. If you've got
to stay away from the processed foods, that literally leads
to weight gain. And that's all the stuff that you're
gonna find in the middle of the supermarket, in all

(03:33):
the aisles where everything's packaged and it could be there
for a long time. I don't want food that could
last a long time. Then it's not real. Then it's
got a lot of chemicals or preservatives or whatever it
may be. I want food that's gonna mold in a
few days, then I know it's real. So stay away
from the processed foods, stay away from the fast foods,

(03:56):
stay away from takeout. They also use the worst oils. Right,
they're not using olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil. They're
not cooking with beef tallow they're cooking with corn oil,
canola oil, sapflour oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, vegetable oil.

(04:22):
These are the worst things to put in your body.
So we want to stay away from the sugar. We
want to stay away from sugar free. We want to
stay away from gluten, which is all the grains. But
we also want to stay away from gluten free. That's
gonna have too many ingredients, all right, So never buy
anything that's sugar free, fat free, gluten free, dairy free.

(04:48):
Look at the ingredients. It's full of a crap, right,
we want one ingredient food. If you want to lose weight,
don't eat anything that's processed, packaged. Don't eat anything with
PiZZ cervative's, food, dies, chemicals, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors. If
there's stuff in the ingredients that you don't recognize, do
not eat it. If there's stuff that you can't pronounce,

(05:12):
do not eat it. If it's not even words, but
they're letters and numbers, like oh, this is PG Number fourteen,
It's like, hmmm, I don't think that's a real food, right,
So you got to stay away from all this faked
processed food. If you want to stay at a healthy weight,
eat one ingredient food. Okay. Now, Also we want to

(05:36):
stay away from coffee, and usually coffee is boiled sugar
and milk and all this other crap. Besides causing anxiety,
heart palpitation, sleeping difficulties, fatigue, low energy, it's also going
to prevent you from losing weight. So try and switch

(05:56):
out that coffee for a green tea, unshed sweetened green tea.
Green teas properties that have been proven through the scientific
community to help with weight loss. And so stay away
from the coffee, Stay away from the Starbucks, dunkin Donuts.
Don't make your own coffee with an aluminum pot, you know,

(06:19):
and the cups in the Starbucks and the cups in
the dunkin Donuts. When you put the hot water in it,
that the hot liquid takes those chemicals out of the cup,
and then you end up drinking the chemicals from the cup,
which are toxic and poisonous to our bodies. So not

(06:39):
only is it bad or weight loss, but it's also
bad for chemical exposure and can lead to cancer and
other stuff like that. Now, another easy way to lose
weight is to supplement with probiotics. Most people who have
difficulty losing weight have bad gut micro biome because they've

(07:01):
either taken antibiotics, or they've taken an acids, toms, roll ads,
or they've taken you know, anti bacterial lotions, antibacterial sprays,
anti bacterial soaps. All this antibacterial stuff kills off all
the good bacteria. So I'm not an antibacterial person. I'm

(07:23):
a pro biotic person. I don't want antibiotics because that
ruins our gut microbiome. That's going to cause you to
gain more weight. I want to take probiotics that's gonna
help me to lose weight. And when you take probiotics,
don't get it from yogurt because dairy is no good
for weight loss. So you want to get it from

(07:44):
a supplement I like Claire Laboratories, and make sure every
two months you switch your probiotics because you want to
keep taking the same probiotic over and over and over again. Now,
another obvious thing that you need to do to lose
weight exercise, and you got to do cardio as well
as weight resistant exercise. Start off by doing a hit

(08:07):
high intensity interval training. That means, let's say if you're
walking on a track, you walk where it curves, and
then once you get to the straight away, then you sprint.
So the next curve, then you walk the curve, then
you sprint the straight away, walk the curve, sprint the
straight away. So one lap is about a quarter of
a mile on a track. So if you're not used

(08:30):
to it, just start off. One day. You could do
one lap around the track where you run during the straightaway,
walk during the curve, run the straight away, walk the curve.
It will literally just take a couple of minutes there.
So the second day you do two laps, third day
you do three laps. So if you're not already into
the cardial that's a good way to work work into it.

(08:50):
Just start one lap on the track, just a quarter
of a mile, so first day a quarter of a mile,
second day a half a mile, third day three quarters
of a mile, fourth day a mile, fifth pay two miles,
you know, and so on and so forth, three miles,
four miles, and you keep on increasing it gradually. You
don't have to do it fast, just gradually. That's your
cardiot when or you don't like to run, get a

(09:12):
bicycle and do the bike, or get you know, play
some sports, basketball or soccer, do some rollerblading. I don't
care what it is, rowing, swimming, but just do something
to get your heart beaten a little fast, get your
body sweating. That means you're getting some good work out there.

(09:33):
And also don't forget to do the weights. Weights actually
help you to lose weight. So instead of you don't
want to lose muscle, you want to lose fat. Now,
these drugs that everyone's taking, the o zempic, ozempic will
actually when you lose weight, eighty percent of the weight
loss comes from muscle mass loss and only twenty percent

(09:56):
comes from fat loss. If you do it the way
I'm teaching you, through proper brain nutrition exercise, you're gonna
lose eighty percent fat and only twenty percent muscle. So
when you take those medications such as ozembic, by these
diabetes medication, you're losing muscle, and the muscle controls your heart,
so your heart's gonna become weaker, controls your gut. Your

(10:19):
gut's gonna become weaker, so it's not worth taking the medicine.
Just listen to what I'm saying, and you'll lose the
weight naturally and more effectively in a healthy way. You
gotta get good sleep. You gotta go to bed early.
I had a patient. We used to go to bed
at one am in the morning. The only thing I
had her do was go from She did a graduate
but she went from twelve to eleven to ten once

(10:41):
she started going to bed by ten pm. Because the
most important time of the hour or two before midnight.
That's when you're gonna break down that fat. You're gonna
lose the weight that you need. So this lady actually
lost it was something like twenty thirty pounds just in
three months, just by going to bed earlier. So sleep

(11:01):
is very important. Add protein to your diet. We gotta
have less carbs, more protein. Meal prep. You gotta be prepared.
If you're starving, then you're gonna go out and eat
some fast food or some junk food or some snacks.
So you got a meal prep. Whether it's Sunday night,
you know, maybe meal prep twice a week, Sunday night,
Wednesday night. So you got all your snacks, all your foods,

(11:22):
all your meals. Plan because when you don't have a
good plan and you end up eating the bad food.
When I go to a party, I eat before I
go to the party, so I got a prep that way,
I'm not so hungry I'm gonna eat all this bad food.
Another good way to lose weight is intermittent fasting. And

(11:43):
what you do with intermittent flast thing is you only
eat from ten am to six pm. Those are eight hours.
You're eating for eight hours and then you're fasting for
sixteen hours, and make sure you don't eat at night,
so you want to be done by six pm, so
that if you go to better ten you have four
hours before your last meal and bedtime. That's intermittent fasting,

(12:09):
but making sure you end early so you can lose
weight and you'll function better, feel better, and live a
better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan. You're listening to

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Caplan and you're listening to boosh your
brain power. One of the most common questions I get
every single day is doctor Caplan, how can I lose weight?
And that is very important for people's health and for

(13:42):
their confidence of themselves, for their way they look, the
way they carry themselves, but also to prevent obesity, diabetes,
heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease. So losing weight is good esthetically,
but even more importantly, it's good for the health of
your rain and your body. Now, there are lots of

(14:03):
ways to lose weight, but one of the most important
ways is to lose your stress decrease your stress levels.
When people at increase stress, that means their cortisol levels
are gonna be high. Cortisol is the stress hormal, and
when your cortisol levels are high, that's literally going to

(14:23):
deposit belly fat. So if you want to lose that
belly fat, you got to reduce your cortisol. You got
to reduce your stress. I go on lots of vacations
every year. I take about twelve vacations a year. And
when I go on vacation, I usually don't eat as healthy,
right because I don't have all my food in my kitchen.

(14:45):
So a lot of times we'll eat out, you know,
we'll eat process foods. We'll eat take aub, you know,
we'll go to restaurants and swim by, get that non
organic and have somebod these bed oil. So it's not,
you know, like we eat as healthy when we're on
vacation as we do at home. However, typically I end

(15:05):
up losing weight on vacation, not because I'm eating worse food,
but because I'm in less stress. So when I'm home, right,
I have two offices, I got two radio shows, I
got two newspaper columns, I got two kids, I got
my wife, I got my parents, I got my brothers

(15:26):
and nephews and nieces. I got my staff, my employees,
I got my patients. I have a lot of responsibilities,
so I'm always, you know, always on the go trying
to help people and save the world and heal the patients.
But that's a lot of stress. You know, when I
go on vacation, right and I take a little break,

(15:48):
I'm not writing my newspaper, cal I'm not doing my
radio show. I'm not taking care of the patients. I'm
not taking care of my staff. I take time off off,
and that intensely is my stress levels. That's why I
end up losing a lot of weight. So the less
stress you have, the easier it is to lose weight.

(16:08):
The more stress you have, the harder it is to
lose weight. So we got to decrease stress. Now, there
are lots of natural ways to decrease stress. The best
way is through what's called your autonomic nervous system to
get you out of this fighter flight mode into a
more calm, relax date, which we call the rest and digest.

(16:29):
To get out of the fight or flight mode, there
are a lot of exercises you could do on your own.
For example, gargling really intensely, so every morning when you
wake up, gargle as loud as you can. Every time
you're in the shower, gurgle really loud. Shoot for the
ceiling right before bed, after you brush your teeth. Gargle
water really loud. Stimulate your vagus nerve, and the vagus

(16:52):
nerve can reduce stress levels. Cold water on your face
will reduce stress levels. Every morning, wake up, splash your
face with cold water. Every evening, right before bed, Splash
your face with cold water at the end of your shower.
End in cold water, let it go on your face.
That makes you more resilient. It brings down your stress levels,

(17:15):
and it will help you to lose weight for your
autonomic and nervy system dysfunction. And one other easy way
to reduce stress is just drawing figure eights or like
the infinity symbol with your arm, keeping it straight, moving
over the middle of your body. So you just draw

(17:35):
thirty seconds of infinities three times a day. That reduces anxiety.
That reduces stress. So those are three neurologic exercises you
could do. Gargling, cold water on the face and drawing
the infinities that are going to actively reduce your stress levels.
Another way to reduce your stress levels is to do mindfulness.

(17:58):
Practicing mindfulness. Mindfulness is when you think of one thing
at a time. So, for example, let's say you're eating dinner.
Don't be watching TV. Don't be reading the newspaper, don't
be scrolling on Facebook or YouTube. Be in the moment
of eating. And to lose weight. What you want to

(18:20):
do A couple of things you could do. Number one,
eat with chopsticks. So instead of eating with a fork
and a knife, eat with chopsticks. That means you're going
to eat smaller bites, smaller portions. And when you put
the food in your mouth, I want you to chew
for thirty five times and every time you chew, feel
the texture, feel a taste it, look at the food,

(18:44):
Smell the food. That's practicing mindfulness, where you're focused on
the meal, not on something else. Not watching TV while
you're eating, all right, So focus on eating and eating only.
That's practice mindfulness. When you're at the gym, just be
doing jim. Don't be checking your text messages. When you're

(19:07):
at work, be at work. Don't be looking through social media.
Don't be making personal phone calls. That's practicing mindfulness. So
when you're to Jim, you're only focused at the gym.
When you're eating, you're only focused on eating. When you're
at work, you're only focused at work. When you're talking
to a loved one or spouse, you're only focus on them.

(19:29):
You're not looking at your phone. You're not listening to
the music or watching TV at the same time, or
reading a book or the newspaper. You are one hundred
percent in the moment. That's mindfulness, and people will appreciate
that you being there. People will know if your mind's elsewhere,
they'll make sure you practice mindfulness. You could also do

(19:52):
meditation that will reduce your stress levels. I practice the
release or the relaxed technique. I just do it thirty seconds,
but I do it every day. So I start from
the top of my head and I say relax, and
I relax all the muscles. Then I go to my
temples relax. And you go to my eyes relax, and

(20:12):
my ears relax, and my jaw relax, and my mouth relax,
and my neck shoulders chess and you go all the
way down to the toes. So if it's thirty seconds.
You just pick thirty spots and every second you relax
those muscles and you'll feel the jewel relax. You'll feel
the neck relax, the shoulders relax, the back relax. You

(20:33):
don't realize how tense and stressed you are unless you
start doing these meditations. And I don't care, and I'm
not saying thirty minutes. I'm literally saying thirty seconds. Everybody
has thirty seconds because if I say thirty minutes, people
are be like, oh, I don't have time to meditate.
You got thirty seconds. So every morning, you want to
meditate for thirty seconds, doing the relaxed technique, starting from

(20:57):
the top of your head, going all the way down
to the bottom of your toes. All right. Now, getting
back to eating, right, So we want to be mindful eating.
So a good thing to do is eat with chopsticks.
Chew your food thirty five times. Practice mindfulness. Use small plates, right,
don't eat these big plates, and you'll get big portions,

(21:20):
all right. Flavor your food with some chili peppers on
a pinus, cinnamon, turmeric. Therefore you won't need sugar and
salt and stuff like that. So start and you gotta
stay away from all the carbs, all the bread, the rice,
the potatoes, the oats, the cereals, the crackers. Not just
the soda, the candy, the cookies and the cakes and

(21:44):
the muffins and the croissants, but all the carbs, all
the grains, all the starches. Get all your stuff. Your
your sugar, your natural sugar from fruits. Get them from
blueberries and strawberries and bananas and apples, and you know,
get your carbs from your squash and your zucchini. You know,

(22:04):
you don't have to eat all these white foods. I
want you to eat colorful food foods. Stay away from
the white foods, all right. And then you have a
bowel movement. Make sure when you're sitting on the toilet
you put your feet up like on a little footstand.
That creates a better angle for better digestion, so you

(22:25):
eliminate your fecal matter and help lose weight a lot more.
Another good strategy to help to lose weight is to
drink water on an empty stomach. So you want to
drink five glasses of water a day, first thing in
the morning, right when you wake up, a half hour
before breakfast, a half hour before and lunch, a half

(22:46):
hour before dinner, and then at night. Don't drink water
with your food food that will make it harder to
lose weight. Drink water before a half hour for each meal.
That helps to lubricate the intestinal pathway. That helps to
get some feedback to your brain that prevents overeating. It's
water is your big frame when you're trying to lose weight.

(23:08):
Another thing that's important is to get your brain checks.
So you got to get your brain check. You might have,
you know, an adrenal issue which stimulates cortisol. You might
have a thyroid issue, you might have some inflammation, your
metabolism might be all. So you want to check your
brain and stick around for the end of the show
and I'll teach you some ways that you could test

(23:29):
your brain so you know whether that's affecting you or not.
But we see a lot of thyroid problems, so do
blood work. Also, get your thyroid checked to a full panel,
not just your TSH and your T four. You need
about ten different thyroid tests, so you have to do
a whole thyroid because most thyroids are not anything to
do with the thyroid. Thyroid problems are actually onoimmune disease,

(23:54):
which has to do with your immune system, not your thyroid.
So when you take medicine for your thyroid time, it's
wrong because it should be done with your autonomic nervous
system and your autoimmune system. That's how you would fix
the thyroid. Then you gotta also get some good sleep.
That's very important. So one way that you could get

(24:18):
good sleep is to make sure that you don't have
any electronics after six pm. So not only do you
want to do intermittent festing where you don't have any
food past six pm, you also want to do no
electronics past six pm because when you have the electronics
and that's computer, TV, cell phone, iPad and no smart devices,

(24:43):
that's going to increase cortisol, which is going to cause
weight gain, and it's going to interrupt your sleep. So
best thing to do is drink water at five pm,
eat dinner at five point thirty pm, go for a
walk at six come home, turn off all the lights,

(25:04):
don't use any electronics, and don't eat any food. That
way you'll function better, feel better, and live a better life.
This is doctor Eric Kaplan more when we come back
from the break.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
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 misboost your brain power with doctor
Eric Caplan and you will learn natural, integrative, and holistic

(25:43):
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
We're getting to the root cause of a wide variety
of brain and health conditions rather than treating symptoms with

(26:05):
traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To contact the Doctor Kamplin,
you can call his team at two O one two
six one two one five zero or visit his website
at kaplindc dot com.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Function better, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Caplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. One of the most common questions I get
is doctor Kaplan, how can I get out of pain?
So many people that have neck pain and shoulder pain

(26:40):
and back pain, knee pain. It's oh my god, we're
here all the time. Now. The first step is stop
sitting so much. When you sit, that aggravates your joints.
So I want you to start following the twenty rule.
The twenty rule is that every twenty minutes of sitting,

(27:01):
you get up for twenty seconds, move your body and
look twenty feet away, and then you could go back
to work, school, reading, writing, whatever you're doing, but don't
sit for more than twenty minutes straight. So you might
have to set an alarm, some reminder, use a cooking

(27:22):
time or something to remind you, because you're not gonna know.
Twenty minutes goes by very quickly, so you're not gonna know.
Oh it's twenty minutes. I gotta get up, So you
gotta set a reminder. Just have your phone vibrate or something.
And what it is. You get up and you walk
twenty feet, or you get up and do twenty push ups.
You get up, do twenty sit ups, do twenty jumping jacks,
do twenty squads, twenty lunges. I don't care what it is,

(27:47):
but just move your body for twenty seconds after twenty
minutes of sitting. And if you're working at the computer
or working on your cell phone or the iPad or
reading a book, also look twenty feet away. So exercise
your body and exercise your eyes. That's the twenty rule.
You want to get out of pain, you better start

(28:10):
doing the twenty rule immediately. The worst thing is in
one position, whether it's standing in one position or sitting
in one position. All right, So why driving's no good?
If you sit for more than twenty minutes in a car,
it's not good. So I have a little pillow that
I use in my car, and actually my car has
it's pretty cool. I have a setting that moves. The

(28:33):
seat moves, the head rest moves the backrest, so it's
constantly moving my body. So even when I'm in the car,
i'm moving. If you don't have one of those, you
can just get. We have these air cushions that we
have at the office that you blow it up with
the air. You put it in your car seat and
it forces you to move around, sort of like you're
sitting on one of those exercise balls. So it kind

(28:56):
of forces you to move a little bit, not a lot,
but enough to move that body. So your jointstone stiffen
up because if we're not moving, everything stiffens up. So
remember the twenty rule if you want to get out
of pain right. Another thing that's important for pain is
reducing inflammation. Most pain is caused by inflammation. There are

(29:18):
some natural products that help reduce inflammation. Turmeric cercumen that
helps reduce inflammation. Where's veratrol, it's the best anti inflammatory.
Where's veratrol is found in the skin of red grapes.
It's found in Japanese, not weed. So the best anti

(29:41):
inflammatory is resveratrol. And we have concentrated as viatrol O.
Can you just give my office a ring and we
could hook that up for you. But it's found in
the skin of red grapes and Japanese, not wheed. That's
where's veratrol. And then the third anti inflammatory is omega threes.

(30:03):
Those are the fish oils. A lot of fatty fish
oils helps to reduce inflammation. So if you want to
reduce pain, make sure you get on all those three
of those, viatral, turmeric, and the omega threes. There's another
product that I really like from apex Energetics called oxy
cell and oxy cell the main ingredients are glutathione and

(30:27):
the SOD and they help to reduce the pain. So
there's lots of good stuff you could do at home.
In our office, we have lots of stuff that we do,
such as cold laser that helps to reduce the pain.
Working on your spinal alignment and your posture. So I
teach you how to get your bones in the right
position and prove your posture. That will help reduce the pain.

(30:51):
Then we sometimes have to do some physical therapy for
the muscles. If you have too much spasm or if
the muscles are too time, I'd have to do some
stretching types of exercises. Also, there might be a nerve compression.
I might have to do some spinal decompression. We might
have to do some traction, might have to do certain

(31:13):
home exercises to decompress your spine. So it could be inflammation,
there could be bones out of position, there could be
muscle spasms, there could be nerve compression. It might have
an autoimmune disease. There's something called rheumatoid arthritis, and you
can check your blood work for what's called your r
A factor. If you have a positive r A factor,

(31:36):
that means you have autoimmune disease and the bodies attacking
the joints. There's six foods that you must avoid if
you test positive for this r A factor, or if
you have fibromyalgia, which is also autoimmune disease. So the
six foods are dairy, gluten, corn, soy, coffee, and alcohol.

(32:02):
Those are for autoimmune disease. If you have rheumatoi arthritis,
if you have MS, if you have siliac, if you
have hashimotos graves, psoriasis, chobrins, glopis, fibromyalgia, all of these
are autoimmune disease. Even diabetes type one is autoimmune disease.

(32:24):
So if you have any of these autoimmune diseases, you
must avoid those six foods for a minimum of six weeks.
And then you recheck your blood work and you'll see
that the antibodies number go down, but more importantly, your
pain levels go down. If you want to reduce pain,
you've got to make sure your immune system is in
tip top shape. All right. Now, stick around for the end,

(32:47):
and I'll tell you an easy way that you can
analyze all those things to see where your pain's coming from. Now,
some people have a hypersensitivity and these people are some
like it, ringing in the ears, floaters in the eyes.
They might have light sensitivity or you know, they don't

(33:08):
like the lights that when they're driving at night. Or
you might be a little clumsy and bump into things,
and you might have some balance problems. You might confuse
your lefts and right, so you might smell things that
aren't there, or you might taste things that aren't there.
So these are sensitivity issues, so what's called a sensory

(33:31):
integration difficulty. They're more likely to have some of these
pain syndromes. Now, other things that can cause pain are trauma, right,
so we see a lot of patients with concussion, so
you get your head hit that can cause pain, or
car accidents or slips and falls. You know, all these

(33:51):
traumas can really mess up your brain and your body.
And what we need to do is repair the damaged areas.
I am not an opinion of Okay, after injury, just
wait and hope the symptoms go away. No no, no,
no no no. You never want to wait. You want
to do a thorough neurological and physical evaluation to figure
out where the pain is coming from so you could

(34:12):
remedy this situation so you don't end up with this
pain for the rest of your life. You don't want
to have authritis for the rest of your life, or
a dis gene generation, or a nerve compression or a
muscle spasm. So you have to evaluate the brain and
the body. Therefore, you could determine where the pain is

(34:33):
coming from. In your blood work, there's certain inflammatory markers
that I would check, whether it's almost systeine or CRP
ESR that will tell us if you're too inflamed or not.
Another thing that causes pain that no one talks about
is these electromagnetic frequencies. You know. I had a lady

(34:55):
a couple of months ago with severe hip pain, and
what I had her do is take out her cell
phone in her pocket, which is basically covering her hip
every time. So she started putting it on airplane mode
and putting it in her bag and whila, within two weeks,

(35:16):
her pain decreased by fifty percent and within four weeks
it was completely on. She was radiating her hip with
her cell phone with the Wi Fi, the five G
the data. So if you have your cell phone on
your person, turn it off or put it on airplane
modes you don't radiate, and definitely don't talk on the

(35:36):
phone holding it next to your ear. That's a lot
of radiation. Don't put your laptop on your lap. Keep
the electronics away from your joints. I don't believe in
any of those things, the bluetooth, the Apple watches. I
don't want you radiating your body. So stay away from

(35:57):
all the radiation, and don't sleep next to any radiation.
Don't have anything plugged in near your body when you're sleeping.
Don't have your cell phone near you while you're sleeping,
or your eyepant. It's got to be at least six
feet away from you. So you got to keep everything
six feet away from you. Another thing for pain is

(36:22):
eating healthy fats. So we want to healthy fats because
the fats cover the nerve. It's called a mielin sheath.
The fats are good for the joints. They oil up
those joints there. Now, where do we get good healthy
fats from olives? I'd rather you eat olives than cook

(36:43):
with olive oil. You gotta eat olives, that's how you
get good fat. Don't cook with olive oil. Olive oil
is carcinogenic over eye heat. So cook with either beef tallow,
coconut oil, avocado oil. Those are the only safe ones
to cook with. Right. So to eat fat. Eat olives,

(37:06):
eat avocado, eat walnuts, eat cheese, seeds, eat eggs, eat fish.
These are healthy fats. If you want some oil to
lubricate those joints, eat coconut oil or eat some olive

(37:28):
oil and those will help to loosen up your joints.
Drink a lot of water. You need to drink half
your body weight in ounces. And for the water to
get absorbed, you want to put salt in your water,
either Celtic salt or the pink Camelean salt because those
have about eighty six minerals in it. Because you don't

(37:49):
want to just drink the water and pee it out.
You want the water to absorb and that reduces your
pain and then reduce your stress levels. The more stress
you are, the more pain. Most people are pain. It's
got nothing to do with their body. It's actually their
brain is stressed out. So reduce your emotional stress and
you'll function better, feel better, and live a better life.

NOW a lot of patients ask, me, hey Doctor, caplan

(39:29):
how CAN i get better? Sleep it's very important to
get a good night's. Sleep in, fact thirty of your
life should be.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Sleeping, Right so there's twenty four hours a, DAY a
third of it eight hours should be. Sleep eight hours
should be, work and eight hours should be. Fun make
sure you do all. Three eight hours, sleep eight hours,
work eight hours. Fun you can't just sleep and have,
fun or you can't just work and. Sleep you gotta do, work,

(39:59):
sleep and. Fun all three are important for a good balanced.
Lifestyle we're on this earth only. Once let's have some.
Fun but you gotta work for, it. Right you gotta
work hard and play. Hard and working hard doesn't necessarily
mean a. Job could be, charity could be, spirituality it

(40:20):
could be your. Health it could be, Exercise it could
be helping. Others it could be preparing, something building. Something
it doesn't necessarily have to be a job that's a
nine to five that you get paid. For but you gotta.
Work you gotta do something for other. People you gotta.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Whatever it is, Clean you gotta, recycle you gotta, garden
you gotta, organize you gotta, plan you gotta, write you gotta.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
Read you gotta do something that's. Hard life isn't, easy
and you have to be more. Resilient right and if
you work very hard throughout the, day you're gonna sleep
like a baby throughout the. Night you gotta work. Hard
eight hours of, work eight hours of fun eight hours of. Sleep,

(41:11):
now the best time for those eight hours of sleep
are ten pm to six. Am that's when it's. Darkest
that's when you need your. Rest don't go to sleep
at one am and sleep till nine. Am that's not
a good eight. Hours one to nine is not a
good night's. Sleep ten to six is a very good night's.

(41:33):
Sleep the amount of hours before midnight are. Crucial they're
crucial for your. Sleep, hey you gotta have good. Habits.
Now another thing that's important for sleep is to not
have electronics at. Night once you are done eating after six,

(41:56):
pm then you should also be done with electronics after six.
Pm that means you have four hours between your last,
meal your last electronic, exposure and then. Bedtime that gives
you sufficient time to increase your melowte and digest your,
food absorb your. Nutrients because you want to lie down

(42:19):
in bed with food in your, stomach then you're gonna
get acid. Reflux then you're gonna get, gird you're gonna get.
Symptoms it's gonna make it more difficulty to. Sleep you're
not gonna digest absorb your nutrients, properly so you Must
you must end eating, early and then you must end electronics.

(42:44):
Earlier if you want a good night's, sleep do not
watch the news right before. Bed that's the worst thing
you could. Do what's on the. News it's gonna Be, Ukraine.
Israel it's gonna be fires and hurricanes and. Tornadoes it's
gonna be. Stabbings it's gonna be. Murders it's gonna be political.

(43:08):
Corruption it's gonna be. Racism it's gonna be criminal activity
and rapes and. Theft it's not gonna be, fun, happy
less stressful type of. Stuff it's gonna be high stressful.
Stuff it's gonna be high anxiety. Stories it's going to be,

(43:31):
really really difficult to get a good deep sleep if
you watch the news right before, bed or if you
watch some zombie apocalypse right before, bed or you watch
some vampire slaying right before, bed or you watch some
murder mystery right before, bed or Some World war three

(43:55):
Or World war two movie right before. Ben don't watch,
electronics and especially don't watch something that's going to be.
Stressful first of, all instead of, watching you could, listen
listen to an audible, book listen to a. Podcast you
don't need to look at the, screens put on some.

(44:18):
Music so you can have entertainment at night without WATCHING,
tv without going through your cell phone, scrolling going on the,
computer going On YouTube And facebook And. Instagram you can have.
Entertainment you could listen to a. Comedian you could listen
to a. Podcast you could listen to an audible. Book

(44:38):
you could listen to. Music you could read a. Book
you could play a. Game you can play checkers or,
chess or you could do a jigsaw, puzzle or you
could do a maze or the crossword puzzle or the word.
Jumbo you could take a, lesson take a music, lesson
a dance. Lesson you could join a, club a book,
club a sewing. Club you could join a. Charity you

(45:01):
could take a dog for a. Walk you could join
some sports. Group there's so many. Activities there's senior citizen,
groups there's you, know any, group any. Meetup you, know
there's stuff that you like that other people like. That
people are getting together and they're not gonna be on
the computer or THE. Tv so you're gonna be. Social

(45:22):
you're gonna get. Outside that's gonna make your brain stronger
so that when you come home you can get a deep, sleep,
right the more, electronics the more food you have the
increase of cortisol that's going to interrupt your. Sleep so
make sure that you get a good night's sleep by
preventing food and electronics for four hours before. Bedtime another

(45:47):
good strategy to get could sleep is to walk outside
for ten minutes during sunrise and walk outside ten minutes during.
Sunset when you walk outside during, sunrise the brain, says,
okay the sun's come. Up let me increase, cortisol give me,
energy let me decrease, melatonin decrease. Fatigue and then when

(46:08):
you do the ten minute walk during, sunset now you're
gonna increase, melatonin which helps you. Sleep you're going to decrease,
cortisol the stress, hormone which interrupts your. Sleep, now when
you come home after six, pm dim the lights. Down
you don't want to come home and then turn on

(46:30):
all your, lights turn on THE, tv turn on the,
screen have a. Snack then you're not gonna go to
good night's. Sleep so we said your last meal is
done by six and you go, outside watch the sun
set for ten, minutes then come back inside and dim
the lights and dim the lights a little. Bit so seven,

(46:50):
o'clock dimm them even. More eight, o'clock dimm them even.
More nine, o'clock almost all. Gone in ten, o'clock everything's.
Dark don't have any electronics in your bedroom when you're
going to. Sleep you don't want to have THE, tv the,
radio the alarm, clock your cell, phone your, iPad your,
computer of all these things in your room when you're.

(47:13):
Sleeping that's gonna interrupt your. Sleep SO i want your
room empty of all. Electronics you only need one, thing if,
that but it's an alarm. Clock it's the only thing
you need in your. Room AND i personally just use
my cell phone as my alarm. Clock BUT i plug
it in while it's charging overnight away from. ME i

(47:37):
put it on the other side of the. Room, therefore
when it goes, OFF i have to jump out of
bed anyway to turn it off BECAUSE i don't want
to wake up my. WIFE i get up pretty early
BECAUSE i. Exercise, NO i don't want to wake up
the whole. House SO i put my phone far away
from me turn it, on so it's gonna wake up
in the. Morning gotta jump out of. Bed but you

(48:00):
don't have any, electronics and not only in your, room
but also on the other side of the wall where you're.
Sleeping so if your head's against the, wall and even
though there's no electronics, room but on the other side
there's your, WiFi your big SCREEN, tv YOUR dvd, player
YOUR ps, five your, radio seve all these electronics on

(48:21):
the other side of the. Wall that's not good. Either
so you don't want anything plugged in near you or
on the other side of the wall when you're. Sleeping
another thing for getting good sleep is making sure that
you don't take a long nap during the. Day if

(48:41):
you have difficulty sleeping and then you're so tired during
the day that you gotta take a, nap that's gonna
make it hard to sleep that. Night so let's say
if you have a bad night's, sleep keep yourself up
the whole day so that that night now you're gonna
be so exhausted you're gonna get a real deep. Sleep
then you can actually get in a good streak if
you want to start going to bed. Early now it's

(49:03):
the perfect time because we just had fall back where
we turn back to. Clocks so now when your brain
thinks it's eleven, o'clock your cell phone is gonna say
it's ten, o'clock and you can actually go to bed
at ten o'clock because your brain thinks it's. Eleven so
start going to bed an hour early right, now because

(49:24):
it's actually the same time you've been going to. Bed
now is the perfect time to start going to bed,
early which is in the fall after turn back the
clock In. October all, right, now how do you know
whether you're getting good sleep or? Not you gotta do
a brain. Test the best brain test is called A
