Speaker 3 (00:17):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
brain power. So we just had Daylight Savings and interestingly,
Monday that just passed, there was a twenty five percent
(00:38):
increase in heart attacks. Now, typically Monday morning has more
heart attacks than any other time of the week because
people are stressed, they're going to work, they were off
on the weekend. But the Monday in the spring, after
Daylight Savings spring ahead, people have more heart attacks on
(01:03):
that Monday more than any other day of the year,
a twenty five percent increase. And that shows how important
sleep is because when you wake up that hour earlier,
your circadium rhythms are thrown off and you need that
rest for your immune system, for your brain, for your
(01:24):
heart to reoxygenate, for your stomach absorble. The nuchents from
the day to detox from all the chemicals that we've
were exposed to. So we need that sleep. And when
you don't get that sleep, you go into stress mode
and that makes you more likely to have a heart attack.
So what's the moral of the story is that sleep
(01:46):
is very important. So if you know you have to
get up an hour earlier, then you got to go
to bed an hour earlier and so make up for that.
So if you normally, you know, wake up at six,
now your biological clock, your Cicadian rhythms as you waking
(02:09):
up at five, So you just lost an hour of sleep.
So if you normally go to bed at ten, let's
go to bed at nine, go a little bit earlier.
That way you're not gonna feel their cicadium rhythm affect
as much. Very important to get your sleep, okay, So
(02:38):
start going to bed earlier if you were affected by
the daylight savings, and you can do it. You just
got to get a good rhythm. Sleep is super important
for your health. And you can't make up sleep. It's
(02:59):
not like, oh, if I slept four hours tonight, now
I can make up and sleep ten hours tomorrow night.
Can't make it up. Once you lose the hours they're gone.
So there's twenty four hours in a day. Eight hours
should be sleeping, so a third of it is sleeping,
(03:22):
a third of it is rest. That's sleep. Now after
you rest, you gotta work, so a third of it
should be work. You got a third rest, a third work.
Now you got eight more hours. Let's have some fun.
You gotta have fun, enjoy life. Life should not just
(03:48):
be work, sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep, watch TV, go
to bed, watch TV, go to bed, Go on facebook,
go on YouTube, go on Instagram, go on TikTok. That's
not living. You gotta have experiences. You gotta go out
in the real world. You gotta be interactive with people.
(04:13):
You gotta be social. Join meetups, take classes, join a group,
go to new places, meet new people. Get out of
your comfort zone. The worst thing is if you do
the same thing every week. You see the same people
(04:34):
every week, you eat the same food every week, you
do the same activities every week. You gotta change it up.
The brain in the body loves novelty. If you don't
do new things and new challenges, your brain deterorates. You
use it or you lose it. It's just like a muscle.
(04:56):
People think that their memory gets worse with age. It's
nothing to do with age. It only has to do
with the lack of use, the lack of movement, the
lack of intellectual stimulation, the lack of social interaction, the
lack of nutritional food, the lack of proper hydration with electrolytes,
(05:19):
the lack of proper sleep. It's not rocket science. If
you do the right things, you're gonna feel better. If
you do the wrong things, you're gonna feel sick. You're
gonna have low energy, You're gonna have fatigue, You're gonna
have brain fog, you gonna have bad memory, You're gonna
have poor focus, you gonna have trouble losing weight, you
(05:39):
have trouble sleep, You're gonna have trouble with anxiety and depression.
You can avoid all that, but you gotta do new things.
You gotta stimulate your brain, you gotta get your body moving.
Don't forget the twenty rule. Never sit for more than
twenty minutes. Every twenty minutes, you've gotta get up for
(06:01):
twenty seconds, walk twenty feet, do twenty seconds of shoulder rolls,
do twenty push ups, twenty sit ups, twenty lunges, twenty squats,
twenty jumping jacks. I don't care what it is, but
just do something for twenty seconds that's moving your body,
and then you could go back and sit. But the
(06:22):
worst thing is you wake up, then you sit at
the breakfast table, Then you sit in the car, drive
to work. Then you sit at the computer at the
work all day. Then you sit at lunch table, then
you sit more at the computer. Then you come home
and sit at dinner. Then you go and sit on
the couch and watch TV. That's a typical day for
(06:43):
a typical American. Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit. Oh,
and then what happens on the weekend. Let's sit at
the bar, Let's sit out at the restaurant. Let's sit
at the movie theater, Let's sit at the play, sit
at the opera, sit at the musical. Everything sitting. Start
doing things where you're not sitting. Start choosing activities where
(07:06):
you're moving your body. You use it or you lose it.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,
So don't wait until you start feeling bad to start
moving your body. Start now. The best time to plant
the tree was yesterday. The second best time is today,
(07:29):
all right, So you have to take action. And I
don't care if your first day of moving your body
is just taking a walk outside for five minutes. Just
get in some sort of routine. You don't have to
go to the gym every day for an hour, but
move your body. Take a nice walk every morning, especially
(07:52):
during the sunrise. That'll help with your circadian rhythms. The
best way to respond to the daylights go outside so
your brain sees the sun. If you're inside, all the
brain sees is the clock. That's not good. Your brain
needs the sun. The sun is the real clock. You
(08:15):
know that the time is a human made thing. There's
no such thing as time. It's just for humans to communicate.
The only time that exists is now, and your body
needs to see the sun to know what area we're at.
Is it time for more cortisol? Is it time for
more melatonin? The sun will dictate that your circadium rhythms,
(08:39):
and with daylight saving your circadian rhythm is thrown off.
We said it's more likely to cause a heart attack.
So you're at risk right now unless you get your
circadian rhythms. So go outside at least an hour or
two every single day, and then your brain can adjust.
Same thing happens if you're traveling. If you travel to California,
(09:02):
which is a three hour time change, you have to
go outside for three hours. Your brain needs to adjust.
It needs to see the sun so we can adapt
to its new circadian rhythm. The sun will tell you
what hormones you're supposed to release, because it's gonna know
what time of the day it is. So make sure
(09:25):
anytime you travel you're outside for the amount of time.
And if you get on the night, that's fine. Go outside.
Your brain will see the moon and say, hey, it's dark.
Let me increase melatonin, let me get a good deep sleep,
and don't take melatonin to help with your sleep. If
(09:47):
you take malatonin, then your brain says, hey, I don't
need to produce it on my own. So it's not
a permanent fix. You really want to improve your circadian
rhythms by using the sunlight. And then when you come
home after you're outside and watching the sun set, and
(10:07):
now it's getting darker, so your brain those to relax.
Dim the lights. You want to be at home eight
o'clock at night. All the lights are on, the computers,
on cell phones, on iPads on smart devices are on,
and you're eating snacks night the blinds are closed. Your
(10:31):
brain's gonna say, oh, stay time. I'm not gonna produce melatonin,
and I'm going to not get a deep sleep, and
I'm not going to have good digestion, good energy, good hormones,
good brain function, good circulation, good detoxification. All that is
gonna be ruined because you got all these lights on,
(10:51):
all these smart devices on, you're snacking, you're eating. The
brain's confused. So at nighttime, turn off all the lights,
turn off all your smart devices, use a little desk lamp,
read a book, listen to some music, write in your journal,
play a board game, play some cards, do the crossrod, puzzles, sudoku,
(11:17):
Listen to an audible book, talk to your family members,
take a class, learn to dance, learn an instrument, learn
a language, learn a hobby, learn how to sew or sculpt,
do something social, interactive. But stay away from the devices
(11:39):
at night. That's gonna increase cortisol, which is the stress hormone,
making more likely to get a heart attack. So at night,
we don't want any electronics and we don't want any food.
So you function better, feel better and live a better life.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Information function, better feel, better and live a better. Life
so one of the ways to improve your memory is to,
notice so notice your memory. Improve notice stands for a
(13:18):
few different. Things THE n is. Nutrition you have to
have all the colors of your. Rainbow eat something that's, red, orange, yellow, green, blue,
indigo violence every. Day eat the colors of the rainbow
to get your, nutrition and avoid all the white, foods the,
sugar the, dairy the, flour the, bread the, rice the,
(13:42):
potatoes the, crackers the. Cereals all the white foods stay.
Away all those starchy carbs stay. Away that's for the.
Nutrition so if you want to notice your memory, improvement
start with THE n. Nutrition THE o in notice stands for.
Oxygen we have to have. Oxygen you need to inhale
(14:03):
for forest, seconds hold your breath for seven, seconds and
exhale for eight. Seconds that's the way to get your
maximum oxygen. Intake you want to go outside in the.
Woods one tree has enough oxygen for five. People so
when you go out into the forest into the, woods
you're gonna actually be in like this oxygen tank because
(14:25):
there's so much oxygen in. There and then as you
exhale for eight, seconds you're giving all the trees the
carbon dioxide that they. Need when you breathe in use your.
Diaphragm as you, inhale your diaphragm should go down and.
Out that's called diaphragmatic. Breathing you don't want to breathe
from your neck or your. Shoulders those are using accessory
muscles for. Respiration we want to avoid. That when you,
(14:50):
exhale the diaphragms should go up and squeeze all that
carbon dioxide. Out and when you, exale make sure you
push every single breath outside of your lungs so it's
inhale for four, seconds hold your breath for seven, seconds
and exhale for eight. Seconds if you want to increase
(15:11):
oxygen inside your house or, apartment you can buy oxygen
producing plants that will purify your. AIR a money plant
is really, good snake, plant spider, plane alovera. Plant those
are the four best plants to purify your. Air, maybe
(15:31):
and put them all together so you don't want to
have one plant in one room another plant in another
room because the, plants they are social beings and they
want to be around other. Plants so keep your plants all,
together all. Right so we GOT n is, NUTRITION o is?
(15:53):
OXYGEN t all? Right SO t is try new, things.
Novelty you gotta do new. Things the worst thing is
doing the same thing over and. Over you have to
try new, things get out of your comfort, zone learn new,
(16:14):
things learn a new, language learn how to plain, instrument
learn how to, tango learn how to, paint learn a
new sport or a new. Skill learn how to change a,
tire learn how to purify, water learn how to. Garden
(16:36):
do something that's. Productive all, Right so the end of
notice is, Nutrition THE o is, oxygen THE t is
try new. Things THE i is intellectual. Stimulation and it's
not just doing a crossword puzzle every. Day if you
(16:58):
do the crossword puzzle On, Monday sudoku On, tuesday do
the word jumble On, wednesday do a maze On, thursday
play cards with your friends On, friday play a board
game with your family On, saturday play solitaire On. Sunday
(17:20):
do a jigsaw puzzle every. Day do something. Different if
you can do something with, movement even better intellectual. Stimulation
take a, class read a new, book learn a new,
language memorize people's phone, numbers memorize. Addresses start using your
(17:46):
brain a little bit more and stop Using google And.
YouTube the more you use the, technology the stupider you.
Get it's called digital. Dementia start unplugging and start using your.
Brain don't LET ai be your. Brain the more you
USE ai And, google the stupid you're gonna. Get so
(18:09):
try and do it on your. Own it takes, longer
but it keeps your brain. Stronger now you could USE
ai to like save you. Sometime you can Use google
to maybe save you some, time you, know for, work
for tedious. Work that doesn't mean anything but purposely challenge.
(18:33):
Yourself right if you're just trying, to you, know think
of an actor's, name don't google. IT i don't care
if it takes you. Longer it takes you even five
hours to think of, it but at least you did
it on your, own and then your brain's gonna get
stronger when you google, it you brain it's weaker because
(18:54):
you didn't do. It it's like going to the gym and
having someone else lift the weights for. You, HEY i
went to the. Gym, yeah but did you do the.
Work you gotta do the. Work don't let other people
do the. Work don't let the technology do the. Work
do it on your. Own you got to do intellectual.
(19:15):
Stimulation so if you want to notice the improvement in your,
memory you gotta do nutrition for the, end oxygen for THE,
o try new things for THE, t intellectual stimulation for THE.
I THE c is charity helping. Others your brain gets
(19:41):
stronger the more you help. Others we're all here on
this earth to contribute to the world, somehow to help,
others to improve other people's. Lives that's what makes us.

one that holds the door, Open be the one that
(20:30):
gets that glass of water to the person who's. Thirsty
you can help. Others it doesn't mean give all your money,
away but you should do that. Too and there's a
law in the universe that's called the law of. Reciprocation
and the more you, give the more you get. Back
(20:51):
so if you give away one hundred dollars this, week
it might not be tomorrow or next week or next,
month but at some point you get five hundred dollars.
Back you need to get more money than you gave.
Away that's the way the universe. Works if you hold
on to, it you're never gonna get more if you
give it, away you'll get. More give to, charity help,
(21:16):

know when you check out at the grocery, store throw
an extra five to ten dollars to the person who
checked you, out they'll be, like, no, no, no, No you'll be.

much to, you but to that person who's working at
the grocery, store it's gonna make their. Day you need

you can call his team at TWO o one two
six one two one five zero or visit his website
at kaplindc dot.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Com function, better feel better and live a better. Life
this is Doctor Eric, caplan and you're listening to boost
your brain. Power we're going to talk about. Motivation how
can you increase? Motivation you, know to boost brain, motivation
(26:06):
you want to focus on activities that increase. Dopamine so
an example is physical. Exercise aerobic. Exercise even just taking
a brisk walk or just doing some jumping jacks can
significantly boost your dopamine. Levels and try and make an
(26:26):
increase to get more. Dopamine so let's say if on day,
one you, know you walk a quarter of a, mile
on day two you walk a half a, mile on
day three you walk three quarters of a. Mile so
little incremental growths are going to help to boost your brain,
power increasing, dopamine thereby helping. Motivation it's also good to increase,
(26:50):
weights so you you, know you start with five, pounds
and then you do ten, pounds and then you do,
Fifteen so keep on increasing make some progress in your.
Exercise so not only does exercise help dopamine and, motivation
but increasing the amount of, exercise or increasing your speed
(27:12):
when you, walk or increasing the distance or increasing the,
weight increasing the, repetitions just increase something and that'll increase brain.
Function other activities that are going to help to increase
dopamine are praise and. Recognition receiving acknowledgment from good work increases.
(27:35):
Dopamine and when you acknowledge others and you see them,
smile that increases your. Dopamine and, actually if someone witnesses,
you you, know appreciating somebody, else their dopamine. Increases so everybody's.
Dopamine the person that, gets you, know the compliment for
their good, achievement the person that, compliments and the person
(27:56):
that observes the. Compliment so you, know do your best
to hang out around with people who are praising, you
who are acknowledging, you who are appreciating, you and try
and stay away from people who are negative and talking
you down and saying you're not, good and you know
you always want to be around, positive happy. People the more,
praise the more, acknowledgment the more dopamine you're gonna. Get
(28:19):
and when you increase, dopamine that's going to increase your.
Motivation number. Two Sary number three is achieving small. Wins you,
KNOW i don't care what it, is if you have
lost a, pound or you know you skip, dessert or
you know you eat more fruits and, veggies or you
drank an extra glass of, water or you started your exercise,
(28:40):
routine or you read a page of a, book or
you wrote in your, journal just anything that you've, done
even if it's cleaning your, closet cleaning your, car you,
know something, good but obviously you know it's something. Big,
oh you know you're getting. Raised that's also great, Too
but you know you also want to celebrate the small.
Winds those are, important and the more you celebrate, those
(29:02):
the more dopamine you. Get so breaking down large projects
into smaller tasks actually helps with that because sometimes these
big projects can be. Overwhelming so, okay let me break
it down into ten little. Things and every time you check,
off you, know that small, task when you get another
hit of, dopamine and that motivates you to get tasks number,
two and that motivates you even. More so you get
(29:24):
in this good cycle of increased motivation by each time
you're checking off your task. List so break it down
into smaller. Tasks that really helps to make a. Difference,
so and it's more. Manageable, Right, so if you look
at the big, project it's, like, wow this is. Big
but then when you break it down into little, tasks
it seems, okay, HEY i can handle. This it's more.
(29:46):
Manageable same thing with. Exercise you, know just start with
a quarter of a. Mile it's LIKE i can handle
a quarter of a, mile it's not big. Deal do
that with, Meditation HEY i could do a thirty second.
Meditation break it. Down when you break it down into
small atomic, habits then it's much easier and you just, say,
Hey i'm gonna you, know start reading on day, One
(30:09):
just read one. Page you can never SAY i can't
read one page of a. Book just start with something
and increase one percent each. Day and if you do
that every single, day it builds and builds and builds and,
builds and that increases, dopamine increasing. Motivation who's the biggest
(30:30):
motivator Is Kobe. Bryant you, KNOW i saw him being
interviewed and he, goes the average kid's gonna practice maybe
an hour an hour and a half a week on.
Basketball he, said when he was a, kid, right he
was doing an hour and a half in the morning
and an hour and a half after. School so he's
(30:52):
doing three hours a day and they're doing an hour
and a half a. Week and he, said the first, year,
okay MAYBE i got a little, better second year even,
more third, year fifty, years exponential. Growth and then he's
the greatest player in the. World right. Now you Got Steph. Curry,
oh you know he shoots five hundred shots a. Day
(31:14):
if you do ten shots a, week, yeah you're not
going to be the greatest shooter in the. World he
does five hundred shots a, day and he does even
more now than he did when he was a. Kid
so it's about that. Motivation so you got to make,
sure you, know if you want to be, successful if
you want to be, healthy if you want to be,
happy you need that. Motivation you got to stimulate that
(31:36):
weak area of your. Brain motivation comes from your frontal,
cortex and you could do little exercises to stimulate your frontal,
cortex and then you could do like remember that game,
rock paper scissors when you were a, Kid so you
just practice doing different. Orders so you'll do all, Right
i'll start with paper rock, scissors and then you have
(31:58):
to do in thirty, seconds how fast can you do
in that order exactly without changing the. Order and then
the next time you do, scissors paper, rock and then
you add something so you keep making it harder and.
Harder so that's doing these little hand movements and it's using,
memory both which are great for your frontal. Cortex so
just like if a muscle is, weak you could exercise.
(32:20):
It if you have a weak frontal cortex there by
not having good, motivation too much, depression you, know poor,
memory then you need to exercise your. Brain not only
physically exercise your, body but actually stimulate your frontal. Cortex
it's called. Neuroplasticity you could rewire your. Brain and that's
(32:41):
the best, news you. Know it's like you can actually
get your brain stronger and stronger as you get. Older
don't believe the lie that your memory gets worse with,
age that your energy gets worse with, age that your
vision gets worse with, age your posture gets worse with.
Age you just got to do the work. Right but
you're not going to improve of just sitting on the
couch WATCHING tv or going Through facebook or watching YouTube
(33:04):
channels or hanging out On netflix all. Night i'm not
gonna do anything for. You you, know try and find
activities you know that are gonna get you, active get you,
social get you, competitive where you can. Increase that's very.
Important and, also you, know reward yourself when you do something.
(33:25):
Good you need to reward. Yourself you don't want to
always just work, work, work work. Work you need the.
Reward and if you know you're getting that, reward then
you're gonna do it more and you you get more
dopamine and more. Motivation but you, know try and make
that reward something healthy, too like, Oh i'm, gonna you,
know take a vacation ONCE i you, know reach this
(33:46):
financial goal or. Something you, know something that's. Healthy you,
know so something that's good and they, say, Oh i'm,
gonna you, know take myself out to a nice. Dinner you,
know ONCE i achieve this, goal you, Know i'm gonna
buy myself a new bicycle, after you, KNOW i celebrate
(34:07):
this small win, here you, know whatever it, is something,
healthy though it doesn't have to be, like, Oh i'm,
gonna you, know eat a gallon of Hoggin DA's ice
cream AFTER i. Went doesn't have to be that type of.
Reward but it could, Be, Oh i'm gonna get myself
a cool ice cream maker SO i can make, nice
healthy ice cream something like, That, Right but you got
(34:29):
to celebrate the small. Wins you, know you don't always
just want to work, work work. Work once you achieve a,
goal give yourself a reward and that helps it and
you know you're going to reach that. Goal the reward
could be a day. Off you, know IF i ONCE
i reach this, Call i'm gonna day, off no, emails
no text. Messages i'm gonna turn off all my electronics
(34:51):
And i'm just gonna hang out without any work at
all for the entire. Day that's a good, reward all.
Right the other thing that's going to increase dopamine is.
Mindfulness so mindfulness is where you just do one thing
at a. Time you, know if you're eating, dinner you
smell the, food touch the. Food you taste the, food
(35:14):
you hear the food. Cooking you, know but you're not
reading the, newspaper you're not scrolling through your, phone you're
not WATCHING, tv you're not listening to the. Radio you're
in food. Mode when you're at the, gym you're in gym.
Mode you, know you're not talking to your, friends you're
not texting. Anybody you, know when you're on a, date
(35:34):
you're in date. Mode put your phone away. Right when
you're at, school you're in study. Mode so whatever you're,
doing only focus on that. Thing if you're just you,
know hanging out at the, beach just listen to the,
waves feel the sand in your, feet let the sun
(35:57):
beam on your, Skin breathe that fresh, oxygen that salt water.
Air enjoy every, moment every sense of sight and sound
and taste and touch and. Smell use all your senses
(36:18):
for each activity that you're. Doing that's. Practical that's practicing.
Mindfulness and when you practice, mindfulness it's gonna increase. Dopamine
when you increase, dopamine you're gonna increase your. Motivation another
thing that's really good for dopamine is social interaction and
not social. MEDIA i think they should call it anti social.
(36:40):
Media so people think that they're being social because they're
communicating over social media and you're commenting and you're liking
and you're. Dming But, na you have to be in.
Person you have to see, people you have to hear.
People you have to touch people and smell. PEOPLE i,
MEAN i don't call too creepy like, that but you
get the. Point that's, real three. Dimensionals we're not these
(37:03):
two dimensional. Screens we need to use it. All we
need to have social. Interaction hydration very important for the. Brain,
dopamine healthy, diet getting each color of the, rainbow getting sufficient.
Sleep you want to eat from ten am to six,
pm and you want to sleep from ten pm to six.
(37:23):
Am and limit your alcohol. Consumption that's gonna mess up your.
Dopamine limit those. Drugs that's gonna mess up that. Dopamine
it's gonna give you a false sense of input that
you're gonna try and. Chase get it from natural healthy,
ways you, know just like we were. Describing because when
you increase, dopamine you increase motivation and then you function,

Better life this Is Doctor eric kaplan and you're listening

Growth mindset, you know your brain is like. A muscle
you use it or you. Lose it so if you
don't do anything and you, stay stagnant your brain's gonna,
get worse and you need to, get depression and you
need to get memory problems and brain fog and anxiety.
(39:16):
And stress so you need that. Growth mindset you need
to stimulate. That brain we gotta do neuroplasticity where we
rewire a brain and make it stronger and stronger. And
stronger when your brain, gets weak it shriveles up just
like a grape shribles up to, a raisin and you get.
Brain atrophy your brain literally. Become weak so you've got to.
(39:38):
Strengthen it, you know you got to. Embrace challenges people
want to. Be comfortable you don't want to. Be comfortable
for your brain to, get stronger you need to. Challenge
yourself you need need to view a challenge as an
opportunity for growth. And learning so take on, new tasks learn,
new things join, new groups take, new lessons start a
(40:06):
new hobby because these challenges are gonna make your brain
work stronger and do. Something, useful hey let me learn how,
To cook let me learn how, To garden let me
learn how to do. Some construction let me learn how
to change a, flat tire and let me learn how to.
Filter water let me learn how to make. A fire.
(40:29):
Challenge yourself everything's. So Easy with Amazon and google and
YouTube and ai and everything's done. For you that makes your.
Brain weaker challenge yourself and then you get that, growth
mindset not THAT oh i, worked hard now it's time
to take. It, easy no don't have. THAT minds i
(40:50):
have that mindset that every year in, My life i'm
gonna Grow and i'm. Gonna challenge i'm gonna learn more,
new things get my, brain stronger and focus. ON effort,
i mean how you do one thing is how you.
Do EVERYTHING so i teach, my kids, you know make
your bed nice and meat because if your bed is,
(41:11):
all messy your brain's gonna, be messy your mind's gonna,
be messy your life's gonna. Be messy it all starts
from the first thing in. The morning do. Things right
the first thing in the morning is, a failure and
a failure is the. Snooze alarm that's a failure because
(41:31):
you had a Goal, Said okay i'm gonna wake up at,
this time first thing in, the. MORNING snooze i think
that's good for. Your, brain no but if You say
i'm gonna get, up early then go to, the gym,
gonna exercise gonna get, some sunlight canna meditate and. A
read i'm gonna, drink water, gonna, Meal prap i'm gonna
(41:52):
get ready for. The day i'm gonna write, my journal
do my nice, power hour do, some grounding, some breathing. Some,
Meditating right so you have, This goal i'm gonna, start
tomorrow but, then boom you. Sleep in it's. A failure
imagine you wake up and each one of those things
(42:14):
that you, check off that's another. Dopamine hit it's another
increase in function of. Your brain it's more. Rewiring neuroplasticity
so put in, that effort, follow through. And loot everyone,
makes mistakes but you got to learn from, your, mistakes
(42:35):
right that's. The key, you know those who repeat, the
history you know they don't learn, from, It right so
you got to learn from your mistakes or else history. Repeats.
Itself right you. Can't forget, you, say hey WHAT can
i learn from? This lesson. Everybody fails you have. To
fail the most successful people in the world fail the
(42:58):
most because they're. Taking chance people who take no chances
and never fail. Aren't successful they don't have that. Growth
mindset just like the kid trying to walk is going,
to fall but they got to get. Back up you.
Gotta fail failing makes you. More successful and set some.
(43:22):
Achievable goals, you know based on you know your. Previous,
year okay WHAT can? I accomplish, you know increase another
ten percent. Each year increase ten percent in. Your health
you know how much you, could lift and how much you,
can run and how fast, you are and you know
how much water you, can drink and how much sleep you,
can get and how much sunlight you, can do and
(43:44):
how much, breathing exercise and how much charity all that.
Good stuff so set achievable goals each year to increase
a little bit from the, previous year and you got
to celebrate, that, progress right super important to set celebrate
your progress because when you celebrate, your progress then you
(44:04):
get more of. That, dopamine now some people have low
dopamine in, their brain or they might have low, aceto
cooline and my advice is to check. That out and
there's actually. A test it's CALLED a qEEG, brain mapping
and this test measures your. Brain waves it's a really
cool test because there's, no radiation there's no, contrast fluid
(44:28):
you don't have to sit in. Some tube you just
sit down and wear this, little cap and the cap
has an electrode's attached to all the different areas of,
the brain and it measures your. Brain waves your alpha
brain wave that's how you, normally are and it measures
your beta. Brain wave that's when you're really studying and
focusing and reading, and thinking or you're presenting and you're
(44:51):
you know where you really gotta be. On point and
then you have the theta that's when you're just kind.
Of daydreaming you're in la. La land you're just kind
of looking out. The window we're sitting outside listening to the.
Birds chirp that's where a lot of creativity, comes from
a lot of, good, ideas right that's in that beta.
(45:13):
Brain wave and then you have. The delta that's when.
You're sleeping that's when. You're resting that's when your brain
needs to shut off, and relax. Calm down when the,
brain's sleeping that's when we create this cleansing from these.
Glial cells they're like the nurses of, the brain and
(45:34):
they sweep out all the bad. Brain cells we. Need
them we want to get rid of all that junk in.
Our brain that happens when your delta brain waves. Are
active so THIS q eeg brain mapping measures all your
brain Waves is it's gonna literally. Tell us do you have?
Low dopamine do you have low? Aceto colin it's gonna.
(45:54):
Tell us do you? Have depression do you? Have anxiety
it's gonna. Tell us do you have? Brain fog? Memory
problems do you have a thyroid problem and? Testinal problems
do you have trouble? Shifting tests do you have trouble?
With motivation do you have trouble with balance or hearing
Or visual do you have problems with heavy? Metal poisoning
(46:15):
if you had, a concussion as you had a virus
that's attacking. Your brain it literally picks. Up everything it's the.
BEST test i, love it and it's super, Quick too
and we're gonna give a gift to all. My listeners
this test is normally six, hundred dollars but for the
first seven people to call text or email you could
(46:37):
GET the qEEG. Brain mapping instead of paying six, hundred
dollars you only have to pay twenty. One dollars all
you're gonna do is call text. Or email the number
is six four six two two one sixty seven. Three
eight the email is info at kaplinbraininbody. Dot com, just
(47:01):
text call email and say you want the twenty one
DOLLARS q eeg brain mapping from the. Radio show and
if someone doesn't, pick up just leave a message or just,
text us email us as long as you want in
the first seven we'll make sure we get in touch.
With you now there's another. Good test it's CALLED a
vng OR a vog video oculography and measures your. Eye
(47:22):
movements and it goes fast and slow and up and
down and left and right and with a turn and
in the dark and in, the light and, you know
fast and slow and all these different types of. Movements
there and they got infrared cameras and it measures the
reaction time and the speed and. The sizes it's really. Cool,
technology again, non invasive, no radiation no, contrast blowing. No
(47:45):
tube you just got to sit in, this chair wear
these little goggles and follow a. Red dot super. Super
easy this test is going to tell us if there's
any imbalances from right. To left and we see that
a lot with, you KNOW add adhd or auto Or.
Dementia parkinson's we see it a lot with stroke where,
(48:06):
we get, you know one side of the brain. Effected
turets so this is a really good test to see
which areas are overactive and which areas. Are underactive, you
know if, it's overactive we're gonna be more excited, and anxiety.
Trouble sleeping the mind's racing.
Speaker 4 (48:20):
A million miles, per hour, you know heart's always beaten,
so fast, always nervous, always worried, sometimes anger, Aggression even
and it's also.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
Going to pick up if they're parts of the brain that,
are underactive, you know, brain fog, you know lack, of
motivation you know low, energy fatigue, you know really bad memory.
And focus we can't. Think right so that's when the.
Brain's underactive so the vg OR the vog is the
(48:53):
best for picking up which areas are underactive and which,
are overactive and the balances and functional disconnects and development
mental delays and censory. Processing disorders THAT'S why i LOVE this.
Vng test this test is also normally six, hundred dollars
but for the first seven people to call text or
email you can get that test for only twenty. One
(49:13):
