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. It's Every Kid Healthy Week. We need every
kid to be healthy. It's scary how unhealthy our kids are.
(00:40):
They have anxiety, depression, panic disorders. They have obesity, diabetes,
kids have diabetes. Supposed to be adults that get this stuff.
Kids are having heart problems. Kids aren't resilient anymore. We
need to increase their brain function. We gotta do it.
(01:05):
We owe it to the next generation, all right, And
it all starts from the diet. We gotta go back
to home cooked meals, no preservatives, no seed oils, no sugar,
artificial flavors, no gluten or dairy. We gotta go back
(01:32):
to eat our fruits and veggies and eating fresh eggs
and fresh chicken, and you know newly wild fish. Just
eat real food. From the earth, next plane gonna get where.
That's sitentary lifestyle. You use it or you lose it.
(01:55):
The more the kids sit at home, sit at watching TV,
sit playing video game, sit on their cell phone, sit
on TikTok and Facebook and Instagram, all the activities are
sitting or sitting at the computer all day long. You know,
my kids, they're always outside. We literally have an old
(02:16):
school neighborhood where you know, all the kids just run
to each other's backyards and they play in each yard
and they go and they play outside basketball and football
and soccer, and they ride bikes and they giggle and
they get dirty. They're in the mud. We don't need
all these plans, you know. It's good to be active.
It's good to have you know. My kids. Yes, they're
(02:37):
in the boy Scouts and they play soccer and basketball
in there and track and you know they take the
drums and the piano and musical instruments and so, yes,
they have activities. But we let them be kids, you know,
we let them use their imagination. Gotta unplug. It's scary
(02:59):
how ittive the devices are. You know, they have that
program wait till eight like meaning like don't give your
kid a phone till eighth grade. Their brains are developing,
and you don't want them addicted. It's like a drug.
It releases the same chemicals you get that dopamine hit.
(03:22):
So the cell phones are like drinking. They're like cocaine
and heroine and all these drugs. Same thing, and maybe
even worse because they have access to a twenty four
to seven all the time. You gotta put a limit,
(03:46):
you know, we put like a my son's in eighth grade.
He's got a cell phone, but we put a limit
where he gets thirty minutes a day, you know, whatever
he wants to do, some text messages and you know,
you know, whatever he wants if he wants to watch
a video or something like that. So he's got a
half hour. But then that's it. You gotta end it.
(04:15):
Gotta be responsible to gonna be okay not having the phone.
Gotta be able to use your imagination, use your brain.
And adults are addicted to these phones too. Unplug'll just
say hey today from I don't care what it is,
four pm to eight pm, no phone, not gonna use it.
(04:37):
You gotta be committed to that, to unplugging and don't
have any electronics in your bedroom. No TV, no radio,
no computer, no iPad, no cell phone, no Wi Fi,
no five G get rid of it. Don't have anything
(04:59):
plugged in your whole bedroom, nothing plugged in. Now the
only thing people say, oh, I need an alarm clock.
That's so bad. I get it. You need an alarm clock.
You could use your cell phone as an alarm clock,
but have it charge you're ready, so it's not plugged
(05:20):
in all night. Put it at the furthest corner from you,
and that way when you uh the arm goes off.
Now you have to get out of bed to turn
it off anyway, So that's the way. If you need
to use your cell phone as an alarm clock, but
don't have it next to you on the nightstand, don't
(05:41):
have anything near you and don't have anything plugged in.
No TV, no radio, no computer, no iPad, nothing plugged in.
And also don't have anything plugged in on the wall.
Let if your head is against the wall, but you
have nothing in uh plugged in your room, but again
on the other side of the wall, it is some appliance, refrigerator, microwave,
(06:04):
who knows flat screen TV something. Then you're goinging to
create the same function as if you had something plugged
in your room, because it's right on the wall. It's
literally right next to your head all night. I had
a patient with severe insomnia, headaches, anxiety, lived in the city,
(06:27):
and I had her change her bed to the other wall,
and that other wall was facing the outside, so there
was nothing else the wall that her bed was facing.
Originally there was another apartment on the other side, and
that apartment is where the kitchen was, so she had
(06:48):
like a refrigerator or a microwave oven all next to
her head all night long. Scary, I might not even
realize that. So you gotta unplug. Gotta limit our radiation,
limit the video games for the kids. Limit the YouTube videos. Limit,
(07:11):
the television limit, the cell phone limit, the iPad, limit
the laptop. They need limitations, all right, they have to
use it for school, fine, But then they need limitations.
You know, use TV as a reward. Oh, you did
all your chores, you did your homework, the good grades,
(07:34):
you scored a goal in the soccer game, whatever you
want to do. Then you say, okay, you get to
watch a half hour show today. What do you want
to watch? And hopefully you guys watch something funny, like
you know, full House or something, not some zombie apocalypse,
not some SVU where little kids are getting raped. Not
(07:54):
the news where there's fires and racism and political corruption
and inflation and wars. You know, don't watch all this
stressful stuff. Something to make you laugh, something lighthearted, something
fun right, So don't soak in all this bad knowledge.
(08:14):
Don't soak in all these dramas, traumas, all this crime,
all these disasters. I don't watch the news. I don't
want to know that stuff. It's gonna make my brain
stressed out. I don't want to know. I want to
know good things. I wanted to go happy things. I
wanna know funny things, joyful things. Those are the type
(08:37):
of people I want to be around. I don't want
friends who are complaining, who were negative, always got something
bad to say about somebody. They're always talking trash, always complaining,
negative Nancy. I don't want to hear it. And I
don't care if you're my blood relative, my best friend,
(08:58):
I'm not putting up with it. I'd rather have very
few people that hang out with be positive and happy
and joyful. I'll live in my little bubble. It's not
about quantity. It's about quality and that goes for everything
in your life. Food it's not about quantity, it's about quality.
(09:24):
Eat high quality foods. It's not about doing, you know, exercise,
It's about quality exercise. You know, I see these people
at the gym and yeah, they're just like you know,
walking on the treadmill for like an hour, basically texting,
talking on their phone. Yeah. Is that better than sitting
(09:47):
on the couch. Yeah, But it's not quality working out. Right,
a quality workout, you gotta sweat, your heart has to
be your muscle's got to be a little strained, you
gotta be uncomfortable. That's a real quality workout. It's not
about how many hours you're putting in at the gym.
It's about the quality of the exercise. Right, when you're studying,
(10:11):
it's not about how many hours you're studying, but what's
the quality you're studying, how much you absorbing, how much
are you remembering? Always about the quality. So have quality,
high relationships, high quality food, high quality exercise, high quality sleep.
(10:33):
It's not the amount of time you're in bed, it's
the amount of quality deep sleep hours. I'd rather have
seven hours of high quality sleep than ten hours of
restless sleep. And that is what we got to do
for these kids. Quality time with your family, quality food,
(10:58):
quality friends, quality sleep, quality exercise, quality, spirituality, quality, giving, charity.
You could do it. We can do it. Our kids
can do it. And if we teach our kids to
do it, they'll teach our kids and we'll change this world.
(11:21):
You gotta give to others. You gotta help others, and
you gotta do it in a kind way. And when
you help others, your brain get stronger, and anyone else
who observes that their brain gets stronger. So we got
to teach our kids to stop being so selfish. It's
not always about them. What are they gonna do to
contribute to the world. How are they gonna help others?
(11:45):
We can't do everything for our kids. We have to
teach them how to help each other, how to be
a community. There's too much division, right. We gotta keep
kids healthy this week so we function and better, feel
better and live a better life. This is doctor Eric
Caplan and you're listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
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
(12:33):
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 Caplin is most famous for
getting to the root cause of a wide variety of
brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional
(12:56):
medicines and risky surgeries. To contact doctor Caplin, you can

one five zero or visit his website at kaplindc dot com.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. All right, So we got to keep kids
healthy this week. We got to get them healthy. It's scary.
One out of five children have been diagnosed with some
(13:32):
sort of mental, emotional or behavioral disorder one in five,
and a lot of them are on medications and uh,
you know xenix, and you know anxiety pills and depression
pills and lexapro and lithium and oh my god, all
these medications that are you know, normally given to adults.
(13:56):
They're even given to kids and their brains are developed.
When you give these kids these medication that mess with
the brain chemistry as their brains developing, it creates permanent damage.
It's very scary. You never want to give kids these medications.
(14:18):
All these school shootings that the teenagers do, they're all
on these psychiatric meds. It's not the brain that causes
them to do it, it's the medication that causes them
to do it. It's on the bottle. May cause violent tendencies,
may cause suicidal, may cause anxiety, depression. It's on the pill,
(14:43):
says it in the bottle. Why do you want to
take pills where the cure is worse than the condition,
and especially developing brain. It's very irresponsible for all these
doctors to constantly prescribe these medications. Why don't all these
(15:09):
kids have these behavioral problems? Youah, the cell phones are
one of them. Right. If you send a text message
to your friend and you don't get a response right away.
You go with withdrawal. It's like, you know you're a
cocaine addict and your drug dealer doesn't have anything for you,
and you're like, oh, I need my fix. You don't
(15:32):
get the text message, your brain get stressed out. Then
it's an hour later, you still don't get the text message.
Now it's even worse a few hours later, worse a
day later. Your brain starts going crazy. And now what
(15:53):
do they want to do? Give you medication to shut
off everything, to make you a zombie. So guess what.
You're not gonna feel depression, You're not gonna feel the
anxiety as much, but you're also not gonna feel love, joy, happiness, passion.
They shut off these neuronal pathways. Sometimes the cure is
(16:17):
worse than the condition. So the cell phones are a
big cause of these behavioral problems of these mental disorders.
Social media they say, Oh, everyone's so skinny and beautiful,
and they're on vacation, and they're so much money and
so many friends, and they're always so happy. Lies, lies, lies.
(16:41):
You can't watch social media thinking that these lives are normal.
Everyone's given their highlight reel. Very few people are posting
all their sadness, their depression, when they have no money,
when they're just sitting at home doing nothing. They're posting
their vacations. They're posting their fancy then as they're posting
(17:03):
when they're all dressed up in their makeup, their hair
is done. They're posting when they look good, when they're
having fun with their all their friends and family, when
they're visiting exotic places. It's never when life is down.
But if you think everyone's life is great, that's you're
in fantasy world. Love your life, and I don't care
(17:27):
what it is. You got to love. Love that you
can see, Love that you can hear, Love that you
could speak, Love that you can swallow, Love that your
heart beats, Love that your lungs breathe, Love that you
can digest food, Love that you could pee and poop
and sweat, Love that you can read, Love that you
can watch a sunset, Love that you could walk, Love
(17:50):
that you could talk. Appreciate all that because I got
patience that are missing all those things, and they would
switch spots with you in a second every day. Appreciate
what you have. Then your mental disorder decreases. It's hard
(18:15):
to be anxious and appreciative at the same time. It's
hard to be stressed out and thankful at the same time.
Fail your days with appreciation, thankful, gratitude. You can't be
have gratitude and panic at the same time. Doesn't work
(18:37):
like that. Right in your gratitude journal, say it out loud.
Be grateful that whatever it is. You have a brother,
you have a mom, you have a kid, you have
a friend, you got a neighbor. Be thankful for everything.
You got a job, you got food and your refrigerator.
You got clothes on your back, you got a roof
(18:58):
up over your head. You can lock your door at night.
You're not in Ukraine, You're not in Israel. Be thankful
for everything that's happening in your life right now. You're
not in some you know, forest fire in California. You're
not in some tornado in Kansas. You're not in some
hurricane in Florida. You're doing pretty good. Your life is
(19:24):
pretty good. I was just in a Dominican The average
monthly salary is two hundred and fifty dollars a month,
not a day, not a week, a month. And guess
what gas is more expensive there. Groceries are more expensive there,
(19:55):
so the cost of living is higher. The salaries are
two hundred and fifty dollars unmoved. But guess what, I
saw so much more happiness in the Dominican than I
do in America. They have no materials, no money, but
(20:18):
they love. They have friends and family that care about them.
They have fun. They have music and dance. They'll kick
a rock and have fun with that. And they're right
next to Haiti, and Haiti's much worse than Dominican. They
have any less money and they're happy too. It is crazy.
(20:42):
You go to Africa and you see these kids and
you're like, oh, man, feel bad for these kids in Africa.
They look at America and like, oh, I feel bad
for these American kids. They're stuck in school all day.
They're not allowed to move, they're not allowed to play
with each other, talk with each other. They gotta listen
(21:02):
to the teacher all day long. Well, these Advocate kids
are out in the sun enjoying it. Then the American
kids can go home. They're on their cell phone, they're
on computer. The Avocids are going out playing, swimming, having
fun with each other, smiling, laughing. The American kids are complaining, Oh,
(21:26):
I only got twenty percent left. Oh nobody liked my
TikTok video. Oh nobody's returning my text message. Oh like,
I don't want this dinner tonight. Oh I don't want
to go to my baseball practice. We complain about the
stupidest things. Got to teach our kids and ourselves to
(21:49):
appreciate life. Have gratitude. If you want to be happy,
you don't want to have depression anxiety. Live in the moment.
Appreciate what you have. Appreciate your friends, your family, whatever
it is, your church, your work, your neighbors, your school,
(22:12):
your job, your extracurricular activities, people who love you and
take care of you every day. Write it down. I
don't care if you're writing your cell phone. If you
write in it, it's some gratitude journal. And if you
got to say that out loud, if you say you're
grateful for this, you say you appreciate this, tell people
(22:36):
you appreciate them. You got to say it out loud.
Don't say these negative things out loud. Don't say, oh,
I hope I don't get COVID. Say I want to
boost my immune system. Don't say, oh, my parents had Alzheimer's.
(22:58):
How can I prevent that? Say hey doc, how do
I improve my memory? Say? Oh my god, I have a headache.
Do you think it's cancer? No? Say hey doc, how
can I improve the function of my brain? How can
(23:21):
get more blood and oxygen? I wanna feel better? Function matter,
Change the words we use, and don't hang around with
people who use negative terminology. That will grow on you.
(23:41):
You don't even realize it. One bad apple can ruin
the whole bunch. We need to encourage each other, be
around people who lift you up. Your cheerleaders, not your critics.
Now you can have conversations and masterminds and figure out
(24:02):
stuff that you could work on. And figure out your
weaknesses that you want to help improve, But don't focus
your energy on those. Focus your energy on stuff that's
going to improve your body. Focus your energy on things
that are going to improve your function. Don't live your
(24:22):
life avoiding stuff that aggravates your condition. Start living a
life where you do more of the stuff that makes
you feel good. People are always looking for, so what
causes their problems. Stop looking for what causes your problems.
Look for what helps you improve. Look for the solutions.
(24:44):
Be solution oriented. Not problem oriented solutions. What makes me
feel better, don't avoid what makes me feel worse, focus
on what feels better. And they also did research that
shows it's more important to avoid talking negative than talking positive.
(25:10):
So you must avoid talking negative to function matner, feel better,
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boosh your
brain power. According to the CDC, childhood obesity affects nearly
twenty percent of American youth, and physical activity forget about it.
(26:44):
One out of every four kids is not is only
getting the recommended sixty minutes of daily exercise. One in
four it's only getting sixty minutes. That is insane. I mean,
when I was growing up, we did first thing in
(27:07):
the morning, we did intramurs you know, we would spend
like an I don't know what it was, a half hour,
forty five minutes before school. We'd played different sports. We'd
bike to school and we'd play sports. Then you'd have
gym class every day. You know, it's another forty five minutes.
(27:27):
Then after there's always something, you know, fall it was
the soccer, Winter was basketball, you know, Spring was tennis.
So there was some after school activity. Another hour two
hours of practice. Then I'd go home and play with
my brothers, play with my friends. We'd play football, basketball.
I mean, the parents would beg for us to come
(27:48):
back home. We just never wanted to come home. We're
always physically active. It was biking, playing sports, swimming, running anything,
you know, activities that were planning, activities that were unplanned.
You know, stuff where were your uniforms and refs and
stuff where it was just pickup games. But we're always
(28:08):
active hours and hours every day. Now only one out
of four children get sixty minutes of exercise. What are
they doing. They're sitting all day. It's the worst thing
for your brain. You never want to sit for more
than twenty minutes straight. That's the twenty rule. Every twenty minutes,
(28:32):
you get up for twenty seconds, walk twenty feet, move
your body twenty seconds. I don't care if it's twenty
jumping jacks, twenty push ups, twenty sit ups, twenty squads,
twenty lunges. Just move your body for twenty seconds. You
move it or you lose it. The worst thing for
children and adults is a sedentary lifestyle. So we gotta
(28:56):
get exercise every single day. You know, just even if
you get a dog, just that forces you to go
for a couple of walks every single day. You gotta
move your body. Sitting is the new smoking. Don't let
your kids sit all day. And teachers, when you're listening
(29:16):
to this show, please every twenty minutes. Get these kids up,
do some sort of movement break, just for twenty seconds.
You will see their grades get better, their focus gets better,
their mood gets better, their energy is better. Everything is better.
With movement breaks every twenty minutes. It will change your life.
(29:38):
That's the only thing you do from this show. Do
the twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, you get up for
twenty seconds and move your body. This is not negotiable.
You have to move your body. It's the most important thing. Okay,
(29:59):
so move your body. Find something that the kids like
to do. I don't care if it's zoomba, if it's karate,
if it's hiking, if it's fencing, if it's swimming, if
it's skateboarding. Doesn't have to be going to the gym.
It doesn't have to be you know, basketball or soccer
or volleyball or just one of the main you know
sports that children do. It could be anything. It's something
(30:21):
that gets their body moving. You know. I have a
patient that this kid loves the Ninja Warrior, so that's
their thing. I have another day dore gymnasts. I have
this eight year old lady that does pole dancing. I mean,
I don't care what you do. Just do something active.
(30:42):
You know, I have this bunch of senior citizens. They
love the zumba class. They have people in wheelchairs doing zomba.
But get your body moving, get off your butt. You
move it or you lose it. You don't want to
keep sitting and set an alarm because you're not gonna
(31:02):
remember that to get up all the time. The more
you sit, the more anxiety, the more depression, more back
pain and neck pain and headaches and dizzyness, more obesity, diabetes,
heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, dementia. You don't want it. Stop sitting.
(31:24):
Get your brain strong, get your body strong. You gotta
move it. Find the activities that you like to do.
But do some family stuff. Hey, every night after dinner,
we're gonna go for a walk. Right, get your family
do stuff together. Hey, every Saturday, we're gonna go for
a hike. Every morning, we're all gonna do ten push
(31:46):
ups together. Make it a family event. Right. You gotta
move that body. You gotta get strong. You gotta do
weight resistant exercises. And when when you're a kid, and yeah,
not too heavy, but you need some resistance. You need
to use those muscles. And when you start to do
(32:07):
weight resistant exercises and those are push ups and pull ups,
and you know, you're not talking about being Arnald Swartz
in AA and you have to bench press five hundred pounds.
But it can't just be okay, I'm gonna sit and
walk to school and that's it. Now, you gotta do
some resistance, you know, just like they did back in
(32:27):
the day, whether it was lifting up rocks or you know,
branches and you know, to move stuff or transfer food,
you know, stuff like that. They always were using their muscles.
Got to use our muscles. When you use your muscles,
your brain gets stronger. When you use your muscles, your
(32:47):
bones get stronger. When you use your muscles, your heart
gets stronger, your digestion gets stronger, your respiration gets stronger,
your immune system gets stronger, your memory improved. I mean,
it's a no brainer. We have to do weight resistant exercises.
(33:10):
Keep your body strong, keep your brain strong. You gotta
do aerobic type of exercise where you start sweating and
your heart starts beating. Walking is great, but as you are,
you out of breath, are you struggling? Are you uncomfortable?
You gotta be uncomfortable. You gotta strain that heart, make
it more efficient. You know, if you could do forty
(33:34):
push ups, you're ninety five percent less likely to get
a heart attack or a stroke versus someone who's unable
to do ten push ups. That's how much of a
difference it is for your heart, not just for your muscles,
for your heart. You want a good heart, better start
doing weight resistant exercise. You want a good heart, better
(33:57):
stop having a sedentary lifestyle. You want a good heart,
better reduce your emotional stress. You want to good heart,
you better get good good sleep I want to get
You want a good heart, you gotta start drinking the
right amount of water. If you want to get heart,
(34:19):
you gotta eat the proper food. It's not easy, but
you can do it. And you got to use your heart.
Give love and charity, help others, contribute to society. So
much love to give, just oozing and oozing out of love.
(34:40):
You don't want it, you don't have to get it,
but I want to give it. I want to give
it to everybody. I love my patience, I love my
steff I love my family, I love my friends. I
remember I had this ex girlfriend and she broke up
with me and I said, why did you that I
(35:00):
love you? And she goes, you love everything, you love
this table, you love this shirt. I'm not a table.
I am not a shirt. So she was saying like,
I just love everything. So she didn't feel special and
that's why she broke up with me. It was almost
(35:23):
like I have too much love and it's like, okay,
stop loving everything else and give me all your love.
And I couldn't do that. I'd so much love for everybody.
I want to help everybody. You know. I feel like
sometimes I love my patience more than they do. How
come you don't want to get healthy? But it's not
(35:44):
because I love them more than they do. They might
not understand what I understand because I know if they
do these simple things, they're going to function at a
higher level. Most of the stuff I teach my patients
is common sense, and we see a lot of patients.
We have office in New York, we have office in
(36:04):
New Jersey. We do virtual visits. We help people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's,
de Mancha, stroke, MS, heart disease, thyroid disease, gastro intestinal ibs,
ulcerative colitis. We have people with sebo mold exposure, tick,
(36:25):
lime disease, concussion, traumatic brain injury, car accidents, mvas, slips
and falls, all types of patients with dizzyness and headaches
and sensitivities to light and smells and tonightis, and people
with low energy and sleeping difficulties. When your brain's not functioning,
you get a wide variety of symptoms. But the brain
(36:49):
can be rewired through a process called neuroplasticity, So even
if you suffer from those conditions, you can actually change
your brain, rewire it so you could actually improve the signals,
increase your dopamine, your serotonin, your oxytosing your endorphins in
a natural and holistic and integrative way without any surgeries,
(37:12):
without any drugs, medications, supplements, herbs, injections, ivs. The power
that made the body heals the body. You just have
to unleash your potential so you can function better, feel better,
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan,
(37:36):
and you're listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
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 mis boost your brain power with
the Doctor Eric Kaplan and you will learn natural, integrative
(38:03):
and 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
(38:24):
treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To contact
the Doctor Kaplin, you can call his team at two
oh one two six one two one five zero or
visit his website at kaplandc dot com.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Function Banner, Feel banner and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Caplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. Children today spend an average of seven point
five hours per day on screens. That's an average. There
(39:04):
are people that don't have any screens. Seven point five
hours that's more than sleep. So they're literally on screens
more than they're sleeping. That is a major problem, major problem. Okay,
there's twenty four hours in a day, all right. Eight
(39:25):
hours should be sleep, eight hours should be fun, eight
hours should be work, all right. Eight hours should not
be on the screen, all right. That should only be
part of your work. Is the screen time, but not
all of it. And a lot of people they're eight
hours of fun. There's another eight hours of screen time,
(39:48):
all right, So start to unplug these screens. These devices,
smart devices are making a stupid It's called digital dementia.
So we stop using our brains. When I was a kid,
(40:09):
we used our brains. We had to use maps. We
didn't have a GPS. We had to use dictionaries, encyclopedias
to learn and to look things up. We can just
google it in two seconds. To do research, we had
to learn how to do things. We need to just
go on a YouTube video to teach us how to
(40:30):
do it. We had to actually do math. We just
use our phone to figure out all the formulations. We
had to remember people's phone numbers. We didn't have a
contact list. Everything We needed our brains for now, the
(40:58):
machines have become our brains. Right, you go to the
mechanic machine tells you what's wrong. Why you go to
the doctor. They got to do some test on you.
The machine tells you what's wrong? Why now you go
to the supermarket. The machine checks you out, right, so
(41:19):
now you know, you know, like when you used to
go to the supermarket and oh it's you.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Know, nineteen dollars and you know eighty cents, right, if
you give them twenty dollars, okay, now I know it's
twenty cents.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
What if you give them, like, you know, fifty dollars,
they're gonna be like what they don't know how to
do the math? Or sometimes you know, I want like
ten dollars in change, right, and the bill is, you know,
(42:05):
fifteen dollars, right, So I'll get them twenty five dollars,
And then they don't. They won't get it, like I
don't mind give me twenty five dollars, it's only you
know fifteen. It's like, oh, but I want ten dollars change.
It's like they don't use their brains, right. The machine
does it for them. The calculator, the spell check, the Google,
(42:30):
the YouTube that now you got, the chat GPT, the
artificial intelligence. The machine does everything for you, but that
makes you stupid. It's called digital dementia. So you gotta unplug,
start using your brain more, stop using the technology less.
(42:51):
So we have to switch it up. Gotta go a
little old school unless you're okay with the way the
world's going, which is severe Alzheimer's demand. You know, we
don't want these diseases, diabetes, obesity. You want to end
up like everyone else, great, then you can do what
everyone else does. If you want to get better results,
(43:13):
you got to be the one percent. You have to
do what nobody else is doing. Getting up early to exercise,
going to bed early to get good rest, making water
with Celtic salt and with lemon every morning on an
empty stomach, doing oil pulling, reading in your book, doing
a gratitude journal, exercising every day, giving to charity, helping others,
(43:38):
eating a healthy diet, eating the rainbow, avoiding all the
white foods, avoiding all the plastics, avoiding all the heavy metals.
You gotta work for it. If you want to get healthy,
you gotta do the work, and you got to figure
out where your problem areas are. The best test to
figure out where your problem areas are, it's called a
qEEG brain mapping. With a q EEG brain mapping It
(44:02):
can actually tell us which areas of the brain are
functioning well and which area the brain is not functioning well.
It measures your brain waves, your alpha, beta, theta, delta.
Alpha brain waves is how you are normally. Beta is
when you're really thinking and focused. Theta is when you're daydreaming.
(44:23):
Delta is when you're sleeping. And based on the location
of the abnormal brain waves, it can tell us do
you have depression, do you have anxiety? Do you have
troubles with focus, concentration, motivation, organization, planning, time management, sleep?
Do you have a thyroid problem, intestinal inflammation, you have
low dopamine aceto colin? Have you had a concussion, heavy
(44:45):
metal poisoning, Have you had a pathology? Do you have dizzyness, headaches,
sensory problems? Tonight, it is low energy. It picks up
all with no radiation. There's no contrast fluid, there's no
small tube, there's no risk, no pain, super quick, super easy.
The test is normally six hundred dollars, but for the
(45:07):
first seven people to call, text or email, you could
get the brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. The
number to call is six four, six, two, two, one
sixty seven three eight, or you could text six four
(45:28):
six two two one six seven three eight, or you
can email info at Kaplinbrain and Body dot com just
let them know you want to do the q EEG
brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. Another test that
I think you should do is called a VNG or
a VOG. That's called a video nostography, and that measures
(45:52):
your eye movements and fast eye movements and slow and
up and down and left and right and in the
dark and in the light, and with a head movement
and stability and all this great stuff. And it could
tell us which areas the brain are overactive and which
areas are underactive. If it's overacting, you might have panic, anxiety, worry, anger, aggression, insomnia, ADHD.
(46:15):
Your mind's racing, you're always worried. If it's underactive, you
might have low motivation, poor memory, you might have fatigue,
you might have waking, you might have brain fog, confusion,
you might always be laid behind schedule. Everything's underactive. The
VNG also picks up that. And I'll say, is it
(46:36):
the left side the right side, Is that the parietal
cortext the front or the temporal the occipital breaks it
all down for you, and again no radiation love this test.
This test is also normally six hundred dollars, but for
the first seven people to call, text or email you
could get this test for only twenty one dollars. Caller
text six four six two two one six seven three eight,
(47:01):
or you can email info at kaplombraininbody dot com. The
last test is a one on one with me where
I go over your VNG, I go over your qEEG
brain mapping. If you've had blood work, I'll go over
your blood work. We'll also do a neurological and physical evaluation.
I'll listen to your heart, your lungs, your gut. Will
(47:21):
check out your memory, your balance, your posture, your alignment,
your coordination, your reflexes, your strength, your range of motion.
Your respiration will check out how your eyes respond to light,
your oxygen levels, your pulse rates. So we'll do a
full neurologic physical evaluation including memory, balance, sensory, motor, all
(47:43):
that great stuff. That is about forty five minutes. It's
normally six hundred dollars, but for the first seven people
to call, text or email, you could get that test
for only twenty one dollars. It's a one on one
with me, and if you want, you can do all
three twenty one dollars brain mapping, twenty one dollar VNG
and a twenty one dollar one on one with me.
(48:03):
You could say all three tests. The number again is
six four six two two one six seven three eight,
or you can email info at Kaplinbrainebody dot com. If
you like this information, you could get my book which

Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
brain power. It's Every Kid Healthy Week. We need every
kid to be healthy. It's scary how unhealthy our kids are.
(00:40):
They have anxiety, depression, panic disorders. They have obesity, diabetes,
kids have diabetes. Supposed to be adults that get this stuff.
Kids are having heart problems. Kids aren't resilient anymore. We
need to increase their brain function. We gotta do it.
(01:05):
We owe it to the next generation, all right, And
it all starts from the diet. We gotta go back
to home cooked meals, no preservatives, no seed oils, no sugar,
artificial flavors, no gluten or dairy. We gotta go back
(01:32):
to eat our fruits and veggies and eating fresh eggs
and fresh chicken, and you know newly wild fish. Just
eat real food. From the earth, next plane gonna get where.
That's sitentary lifestyle. You use it or you lose it.
(01:55):
The more the kids sit at home, sit at watching TV,
sit playing video game, sit on their cell phone, sit
on TikTok and Facebook and Instagram, all the activities are
sitting or sitting at the computer all day long. You know,
my kids, they're always outside. We literally have an old
(02:16):
school neighborhood where you know, all the kids just run
to each other's backyards and they play in each yard
and they go and they play outside basketball and football
and soccer, and they ride bikes and they giggle and
they get dirty. They're in the mud. We don't need
all these plans, you know. It's good to be active.
It's good to have you know. My kids. Yes, they're
(02:37):
in the boy Scouts and they play soccer and basketball
in there and track and you know they take the
drums and the piano and musical instruments and so, yes,
they have activities. But we let them be kids, you know,
we let them use their imagination. Gotta unplug. It's scary
(02:59):
how ittive the devices are. You know, they have that
program wait till eight like meaning like don't give your
kid a phone till eighth grade. Their brains are developing,
and you don't want them addicted. It's like a drug.
It releases the same chemicals you get that dopamine hit.
(03:22):
So the cell phones are like drinking. They're like cocaine
and heroine and all these drugs. Same thing, and maybe
even worse because they have access to a twenty four
to seven all the time. You gotta put a limit,
(03:46):
you know, we put like a my son's in eighth grade.
He's got a cell phone, but we put a limit
where he gets thirty minutes a day, you know, whatever
he wants to do, some text messages and you know,
you know, whatever he wants if he wants to watch
a video or something like that. So he's got a
half hour. But then that's it. You gotta end it.
(04:15):
Gotta be responsible to gonna be okay not having the phone.
Gotta be able to use your imagination, use your brain.
And adults are addicted to these phones too. Unplug'll just
say hey today from I don't care what it is,
four pm to eight pm, no phone, not gonna use it.
(04:37):
You gotta be committed to that, to unplugging and don't
have any electronics in your bedroom. No TV, no radio,
no computer, no iPad, no cell phone, no Wi Fi,
no five G get rid of it. Don't have anything
(04:59):
plugged in your whole bedroom, nothing plugged in. Now the
only thing people say, oh, I need an alarm clock.
That's so bad. I get it. You need an alarm clock.
You could use your cell phone as an alarm clock,
but have it charge you're ready, so it's not plugged
(05:20):
in all night. Put it at the furthest corner from you,
and that way when you uh the arm goes off.
Now you have to get out of bed to turn
it off anyway, So that's the way. If you need
to use your cell phone as an alarm clock, but
don't have it next to you on the nightstand, don't
(05:41):
have anything near you and don't have anything plugged in.
No TV, no radio, no computer, no iPad, nothing plugged in.
And also don't have anything plugged in on the wall.
Let if your head is against the wall, but you
have nothing in uh plugged in your room, but again
on the other side of the wall, it is some appliance, refrigerator, microwave,
(06:04):
who knows flat screen TV something. Then you're goinging to
create the same function as if you had something plugged
in your room, because it's right on the wall. It's
literally right next to your head all night. I had
a patient with severe insomnia, headaches, anxiety, lived in the city,
(06:27):
and I had her change her bed to the other wall,
and that other wall was facing the outside, so there
was nothing else the wall that her bed was facing.
Originally there was another apartment on the other side, and
that apartment is where the kitchen was, so she had
(06:48):
like a refrigerator or a microwave oven all next to
her head all night long. Scary, I might not even
realize that. So you gotta unplug. Gotta limit our radiation,
limit the video games for the kids. Limit the YouTube videos. Limit,
(07:11):
the television limit, the cell phone limit, the iPad, limit
the laptop. They need limitations, all right, they have to
use it for school, fine, But then they need limitations.
You know, use TV as a reward. Oh, you did
all your chores, you did your homework, the good grades,
(07:34):
you scored a goal in the soccer game, whatever you
want to do. Then you say, okay, you get to
watch a half hour show today. What do you want
to watch? And hopefully you guys watch something funny, like
you know, full House or something, not some zombie apocalypse,
not some SVU where little kids are getting raped. Not
(07:54):
the news where there's fires and racism and political corruption
and inflation and wars. You know, don't watch all this
stressful stuff. Something to make you laugh, something lighthearted, something
fun right, So don't soak in all this bad knowledge.
(08:14):
Don't soak in all these dramas, traumas, all this crime,
all these disasters. I don't watch the news. I don't
want to know that stuff. It's gonna make my brain
stressed out. I don't want to know. I want to
know good things. I wanted to go happy things. I
wanna know funny things, joyful things. Those are the type
(08:37):
of people I want to be around. I don't want
friends who are complaining, who were negative, always got something
bad to say about somebody. They're always talking trash, always complaining,
negative Nancy. I don't want to hear it. And I
don't care if you're my blood relative, my best friend,
(08:58):
I'm not putting up with it. I'd rather have very
few people that hang out with be positive and happy
and joyful. I'll live in my little bubble. It's not
about quantity. It's about quality and that goes for everything
in your life. Food it's not about quantity, it's about quality.
(09:24):
Eat high quality foods. It's not about doing, you know, exercise,
It's about quality exercise. You know, I see these people
at the gym and yeah, they're just like you know,
walking on the treadmill for like an hour, basically texting,
talking on their phone. Yeah. Is that better than sitting
(09:47):
on the couch. Yeah, But it's not quality working out. Right,
a quality workout, you gotta sweat, your heart has to
be your muscle's got to be a little strained, you
gotta be uncomfortable. That's a real quality workout. It's not
about how many hours you're putting in at the gym.
It's about the quality of the exercise. Right, when you're studying,
(10:11):
it's not about how many hours you're studying, but what's
the quality you're studying, how much you absorbing, how much
are you remembering? Always about the quality. So have quality,
high relationships, high quality food, high quality exercise, high quality sleep.
(10:33):
It's not the amount of time you're in bed, it's
the amount of quality deep sleep hours. I'd rather have
seven hours of high quality sleep than ten hours of
restless sleep. And that is what we got to do
for these kids. Quality time with your family, quality food,
(10:58):
quality friends, quality sleep, quality exercise, quality, spirituality, quality, giving, charity.
You could do it. We can do it. Our kids
can do it. And if we teach our kids to
do it, they'll teach our kids and we'll change this world.
(11:21):
You gotta give to others. You gotta help others, and
you gotta do it in a kind way. And when
you help others, your brain get stronger, and anyone else
who observes that their brain gets stronger. So we got
to teach our kids to stop being so selfish. It's
not always about them. What are they gonna do to
contribute to the world. How are they gonna help others?
(11:45):
We can't do everything for our kids. We have to
teach them how to help each other, how to be
a community. There's too much division, right. We gotta keep
kids healthy this week so we function and better, feel
better and live a better life. This is doctor Eric
Caplan and you're listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
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
(12:33):
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 Caplin is most famous for
getting to the root cause of a wide variety of
brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional
(12:56):
medicines and risky surgeries. To contact doctor Caplin, you can
call Team that two are one two six one two
one five zero or visit his website at kaplindc dot com.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. All right, So we got to keep kids
healthy this week. We got to get them healthy. It's scary.
One out of five children have been diagnosed with some
(13:32):
sort of mental, emotional or behavioral disorder one in five,
and a lot of them are on medications and uh,
you know xenix, and you know anxiety pills and depression
pills and lexapro and lithium and oh my god, all
these medications that are you know, normally given to adults.
(13:56):
They're even given to kids and their brains are developed.
When you give these kids these medication that mess with
the brain chemistry as their brains developing, it creates permanent damage.
It's very scary. You never want to give kids these medications.
(14:18):
All these school shootings that the teenagers do, they're all
on these psychiatric meds. It's not the brain that causes
them to do it, it's the medication that causes them
to do it. It's on the bottle. May cause violent tendencies,
may cause suicidal, may cause anxiety, depression. It's on the pill,
(14:43):
says it in the bottle. Why do you want to
take pills where the cure is worse than the condition,
and especially developing brain. It's very irresponsible for all these
doctors to constantly prescribe these medications. Why don't all these
(15:09):
kids have these behavioral problems? Youah, the cell phones are
one of them. Right. If you send a text message
to your friend and you don't get a response right away.
You go with withdrawal. It's like, you know you're a
cocaine addict and your drug dealer doesn't have anything for you,
and you're like, oh, I need my fix. You don't
(15:32):
get the text message, your brain get stressed out. Then
it's an hour later, you still don't get the text message.
Now it's even worse a few hours later, worse a
day later. Your brain starts going crazy. And now what
(15:53):
do they want to do? Give you medication to shut
off everything, to make you a zombie. So guess what.
You're not gonna feel depression, You're not gonna feel the
anxiety as much, but you're also not gonna feel love, joy, happiness, passion.
They shut off these neuronal pathways. Sometimes the cure is
(16:17):
worse than the condition. So the cell phones are a
big cause of these behavioral problems of these mental disorders.
Social media they say, Oh, everyone's so skinny and beautiful,
and they're on vacation, and they're so much money and
so many friends, and they're always so happy. Lies, lies, lies.
(16:41):
You can't watch social media thinking that these lives are normal.
Everyone's given their highlight reel. Very few people are posting
all their sadness, their depression, when they have no money,
when they're just sitting at home doing nothing. They're posting
their vacations. They're posting their fancy then as they're posting
(17:03):
when they're all dressed up in their makeup, their hair
is done. They're posting when they look good, when they're
having fun with their all their friends and family, when
they're visiting exotic places. It's never when life is down.
But if you think everyone's life is great, that's you're
in fantasy world. Love your life, and I don't care
(17:27):
what it is. You got to love. Love that you
can see, Love that you can hear, Love that you
could speak, Love that you can swallow, Love that your
heart beats, Love that your lungs breathe, Love that you
can digest food, Love that you could pee and poop
and sweat, Love that you can read, Love that you
can watch a sunset, Love that you could walk, Love
(17:50):
that you could talk. Appreciate all that because I got
patience that are missing all those things, and they would
switch spots with you in a second every day. Appreciate
what you have. Then your mental disorder decreases. It's hard
(18:15):
to be anxious and appreciative at the same time. It's
hard to be stressed out and thankful at the same time.
Fail your days with appreciation, thankful, gratitude. You can't be
have gratitude and panic at the same time. Doesn't work
(18:37):
like that. Right in your gratitude journal, say it out loud.
Be grateful that whatever it is. You have a brother,
you have a mom, you have a kid, you have
a friend, you got a neighbor. Be thankful for everything.
You got a job, you got food and your refrigerator.
You got clothes on your back, you got a roof
(18:58):
up over your head. You can lock your door at night.
You're not in Ukraine, You're not in Israel. Be thankful
for everything that's happening in your life right now. You're
not in some you know, forest fire in California. You're
not in some tornado in Kansas. You're not in some
hurricane in Florida. You're doing pretty good. Your life is
(19:24):
pretty good. I was just in a Dominican The average
monthly salary is two hundred and fifty dollars a month,
not a day, not a week, a month. And guess
what gas is more expensive there. Groceries are more expensive there,
(19:55):
so the cost of living is higher. The salaries are
two hundred and fifty dollars unmoved. But guess what, I
saw so much more happiness in the Dominican than I
do in America. They have no materials, no money, but
(20:18):
they love. They have friends and family that care about them.
They have fun. They have music and dance. They'll kick
a rock and have fun with that. And they're right
next to Haiti, and Haiti's much worse than Dominican. They
have any less money and they're happy too. It is crazy.
(20:42):
You go to Africa and you see these kids and
you're like, oh, man, feel bad for these kids in Africa.
They look at America and like, oh, I feel bad
for these American kids. They're stuck in school all day.
They're not allowed to move, they're not allowed to play
with each other, talk with each other. They gotta listen
(21:02):
to the teacher all day long. Well, these Advocate kids
are out in the sun enjoying it. Then the American
kids can go home. They're on their cell phone, they're
on computer. The Avocids are going out playing, swimming, having
fun with each other, smiling, laughing. The American kids are complaining, Oh,
(21:26):
I only got twenty percent left. Oh nobody liked my
TikTok video. Oh nobody's returning my text message. Oh like,
I don't want this dinner tonight. Oh I don't want
to go to my baseball practice. We complain about the
stupidest things. Got to teach our kids and ourselves to
(21:49):
appreciate life. Have gratitude. If you want to be happy,
you don't want to have depression anxiety. Live in the moment.
Appreciate what you have. Appreciate your friends, your family, whatever
it is, your church, your work, your neighbors, your school,
(22:12):
your job, your extracurricular activities, people who love you and
take care of you every day. Write it down. I
don't care if you're writing your cell phone. If you
write in it, it's some gratitude journal. And if you
got to say that out loud, if you say you're
grateful for this, you say you appreciate this, tell people
(22:36):
you appreciate them. You got to say it out loud.
Don't say these negative things out loud. Don't say, oh,
I hope I don't get COVID. Say I want to
boost my immune system. Don't say, oh, my parents had Alzheimer's.
(22:58):
How can I prevent that? Say hey doc, how do
I improve my memory? Say? Oh my god, I have a headache.
Do you think it's cancer? No? Say hey doc, how
can I improve the function of my brain? How can
(23:21):
get more blood and oxygen? I wanna feel better? Function matter,
Change the words we use, and don't hang around with
people who use negative terminology. That will grow on you.
(23:41):
You don't even realize it. One bad apple can ruin
the whole bunch. We need to encourage each other, be
around people who lift you up. Your cheerleaders, not your critics.
Now you can have conversations and masterminds and figure out
(24:02):
stuff that you could work on. And figure out your
weaknesses that you want to help improve, But don't focus
your energy on those. Focus your energy on stuff that's
going to improve your body. Focus your energy on things
that are going to improve your function. Don't live your
(24:22):
life avoiding stuff that aggravates your condition. Start living a
life where you do more of the stuff that makes
you feel good. People are always looking for, so what
causes their problems. Stop looking for what causes your problems.
Look for what helps you improve. Look for the solutions.
(24:44):
Be solution oriented. Not problem oriented solutions. What makes me
feel better, don't avoid what makes me feel worse, focus
on what feels better. And they also did research that
shows it's more important to avoid talking negative than talking positive.
(25:10):
So you must avoid talking negative to function matner, feel better,
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan
and you're listening to boost your brain power.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boosh your
brain power. According to the CDC, childhood obesity affects nearly
twenty percent of American youth, and physical activity forget about it.
(26:44):
One out of every four kids is not is only
getting the recommended sixty minutes of daily exercise. One in
four it's only getting sixty minutes. That is insane. I mean,
when I was growing up, we did first thing in
(27:07):
the morning, we did intramurs you know, we would spend
like an I don't know what it was, a half hour,
forty five minutes before school. We'd played different sports. We'd
bike to school and we'd play sports. Then you'd have
gym class every day. You know, it's another forty five minutes.
(27:27):
Then after there's always something, you know, fall it was
the soccer, Winter was basketball, you know, Spring was tennis.
So there was some after school activity. Another hour two
hours of practice. Then I'd go home and play with
my brothers, play with my friends. We'd play football, basketball.
I mean, the parents would beg for us to come
(27:48):
back home. We just never wanted to come home. We're
always physically active. It was biking, playing sports, swimming, running anything,
you know, activities that were planning, activities that were unplanned.
You know, stuff where were your uniforms and refs and
stuff where it was just pickup games. But we're always
(28:08):
active hours and hours every day. Now only one out
of four children get sixty minutes of exercise. What are
they doing. They're sitting all day. It's the worst thing
for your brain. You never want to sit for more
than twenty minutes straight. That's the twenty rule. Every twenty minutes,
(28:32):
you get up for twenty seconds, walk twenty feet, move
your body twenty seconds. I don't care if it's twenty
jumping jacks, twenty push ups, twenty sit ups, twenty squads,
twenty lunges. Just move your body for twenty seconds. You
move it or you lose it. The worst thing for
children and adults is a sedentary lifestyle. So we gotta
(28:56):
get exercise every single day. You know, just even if
you get a dog, just that forces you to go
for a couple of walks every single day. You gotta
move your body. Sitting is the new smoking. Don't let
your kids sit all day. And teachers, when you're listening
(29:16):
to this show, please every twenty minutes. Get these kids up,
do some sort of movement break, just for twenty seconds.
You will see their grades get better, their focus gets better,
their mood gets better, their energy is better. Everything is better.
With movement breaks every twenty minutes. It will change your life.
(29:38):
That's the only thing you do from this show. Do
the twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, you get up for
twenty seconds and move your body. This is not negotiable.
You have to move your body. It's the most important thing. Okay,
(29:59):
so move your body. Find something that the kids like
to do. I don't care if it's zoomba, if it's karate,
if it's hiking, if it's fencing, if it's swimming, if
it's skateboarding. Doesn't have to be going to the gym.
It doesn't have to be you know, basketball or soccer
or volleyball or just one of the main you know
sports that children do. It could be anything. It's something
(30:21):
that gets their body moving. You know. I have a
patient that this kid loves the Ninja Warrior, so that's
their thing. I have another day dore gymnasts. I have
this eight year old lady that does pole dancing. I mean,
I don't care what you do. Just do something active.
(30:42):
You know, I have this bunch of senior citizens. They
love the zumba class. They have people in wheelchairs doing zomba.
But get your body moving, get off your butt. You
move it or you lose it. You don't want to
keep sitting and set an alarm because you're not gonna
(31:02):
remember that to get up all the time. The more
you sit, the more anxiety, the more depression, more back
pain and neck pain and headaches and dizzyness, more obesity, diabetes,
heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, dementia. You don't want it. Stop sitting.
(31:24):
Get your brain strong, get your body strong. You gotta
move it. Find the activities that you like to do.
But do some family stuff. Hey, every night after dinner,
we're gonna go for a walk. Right, get your family
do stuff together. Hey, every Saturday, we're gonna go for
a hike. Every morning, we're all gonna do ten push
(31:46):
ups together. Make it a family event. Right. You gotta
move that body. You gotta get strong. You gotta do
weight resistant exercises. And when when you're a kid, and yeah,
not too heavy, but you need some resistance. You need
to use those muscles. And when you start to do
(32:07):
weight resistant exercises and those are push ups and pull ups,
and you know, you're not talking about being Arnald Swartz
in AA and you have to bench press five hundred pounds.
But it can't just be okay, I'm gonna sit and
walk to school and that's it. Now, you gotta do
some resistance, you know, just like they did back in
(32:27):
the day, whether it was lifting up rocks or you know,
branches and you know, to move stuff or transfer food,
you know, stuff like that. They always were using their muscles.
Got to use our muscles. When you use your muscles,
your brain gets stronger. When you use your muscles, your
(32:47):
bones get stronger. When you use your muscles, your heart
gets stronger, your digestion gets stronger, your respiration gets stronger,
your immune system gets stronger, your memory improved. I mean,
it's a no brainer. We have to do weight resistant exercises.
(33:10):
Keep your body strong, keep your brain strong. You gotta
do aerobic type of exercise where you start sweating and
your heart starts beating. Walking is great, but as you are,
you out of breath, are you struggling? Are you uncomfortable?
You gotta be uncomfortable. You gotta strain that heart, make
it more efficient. You know, if you could do forty
(33:34):
push ups, you're ninety five percent less likely to get
a heart attack or a stroke versus someone who's unable
to do ten push ups. That's how much of a
difference it is for your heart, not just for your muscles,
for your heart. You want a good heart, better start
doing weight resistant exercise. You want a good heart, better
(33:57):
stop having a sedentary lifestyle. You want a good heart,
better reduce your emotional stress. You want to good heart,
you better get good good sleep I want to get
You want a good heart, you gotta start drinking the
right amount of water. If you want to get heart,
(34:19):
you gotta eat the proper food. It's not easy, but
you can do it. And you got to use your heart.
Give love and charity, help others, contribute to society. So
much love to give, just oozing and oozing out of love.
(34:40):
You don't want it, you don't have to get it,
but I want to give it. I want to give
it to everybody. I love my patience, I love my
steff I love my family, I love my friends. I
remember I had this ex girlfriend and she broke up
with me and I said, why did you that I
(35:00):
love you? And she goes, you love everything, you love
this table, you love this shirt. I'm not a table.
I am not a shirt. So she was saying like,
I just love everything. So she didn't feel special and
that's why she broke up with me. It was almost
(35:23):
like I have too much love and it's like, okay,
stop loving everything else and give me all your love.
And I couldn't do that. I'd so much love for everybody.
I want to help everybody. You know. I feel like
sometimes I love my patience more than they do. How
come you don't want to get healthy? But it's not
(35:44):
because I love them more than they do. They might
not understand what I understand because I know if they
do these simple things, they're going to function at a
higher level. Most of the stuff I teach my patients
is common sense, and we see a lot of patients.
We have office in New York, we have office in
(36:04):
New Jersey. We do virtual visits. We help people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's,
de Mancha, stroke, MS, heart disease, thyroid disease, gastro intestinal ibs,
ulcerative colitis. We have people with sebo mold exposure, tick,
(36:25):
lime disease, concussion, traumatic brain injury, car accidents, mvas, slips
and falls, all types of patients with dizzyness and headaches
and sensitivities to light and smells and tonightis, and people
with low energy and sleeping difficulties. When your brain's not functioning,
you get a wide variety of symptoms. But the brain
(36:49):
can be rewired through a process called neuroplasticity, So even
if you suffer from those conditions, you can actually change
your brain, rewire it so you could actually improve the signals,
increase your dopamine, your serotonin, your oxytosing your endorphins in
a natural and holistic and integrative way without any surgeries,
(37:12):
without any drugs, medications, supplements, herbs, injections, ivs. The power
that made the body heals the body. You just have
to unleash your potential so you can function better, feel better,
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan,
(37:36):
and you're listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
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 mis boost your brain power with
the Doctor Eric Kaplan and you will learn natural, integrative
(38:03):
and 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
(38:24):
treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To contact
the Doctor Kaplin, you can call his team at two
oh one two six one two one five zero or
visit his website at kaplandc dot com.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Function Banner, Feel banner and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Caplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. Children today spend an average of seven point
five hours per day on screens. That's an average. There
(39:04):
are people that don't have any screens. Seven point five
hours that's more than sleep. So they're literally on screens
more than they're sleeping. That is a major problem, major problem. Okay,
there's twenty four hours in a day, all right. Eight
(39:25):
hours should be sleep, eight hours should be fun, eight
hours should be work, all right. Eight hours should not
be on the screen, all right. That should only be
part of your work. Is the screen time, but not
all of it. And a lot of people they're eight
hours of fun. There's another eight hours of screen time,
(39:48):
all right, So start to unplug these screens. These devices,
smart devices are making a stupid It's called digital dementia.
So we stop using our brains. When I was a kid,
(40:09):
we used our brains. We had to use maps. We
didn't have a GPS. We had to use dictionaries, encyclopedias
to learn and to look things up. We can just
google it in two seconds. To do research, we had
to learn how to do things. We need to just
go on a YouTube video to teach us how to
(40:30):
do it. We had to actually do math. We just
use our phone to figure out all the formulations. We
had to remember people's phone numbers. We didn't have a
contact list. Everything We needed our brains for now, the
(40:58):
machines have become our brains. Right, you go to the
mechanic machine tells you what's wrong. Why you go to
the doctor. They got to do some test on you.
The machine tells you what's wrong? Why now you go
to the supermarket. The machine checks you out, right, so
(41:19):
now you know, you know, like when you used to
go to the supermarket and oh it's you.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Know, nineteen dollars and you know eighty cents, right, if
you give them twenty dollars, okay, now I know it's
twenty cents.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
What if you give them, like, you know, fifty dollars,
they're gonna be like what they don't know how to
do the math? Or sometimes you know, I want like
ten dollars in change, right, and the bill is, you know,
(42:05):
fifteen dollars, right, So I'll get them twenty five dollars,
And then they don't. They won't get it, like I
don't mind give me twenty five dollars, it's only you
know fifteen. It's like, oh, but I want ten dollars change.
It's like they don't use their brains, right. The machine
does it for them. The calculator, the spell check, the Google,
(42:30):
the YouTube that now you got, the chat GPT, the
artificial intelligence. The machine does everything for you, but that
makes you stupid. It's called digital dementia. So you gotta unplug,
start using your brain more, stop using the technology less.
(42:51):
So we have to switch it up. Gotta go a
little old school unless you're okay with the way the
world's going, which is severe Alzheimer's demand. You know, we
don't want these diseases, diabetes, obesity. You want to end
up like everyone else, great, then you can do what
everyone else does. If you want to get better results,
(43:13):
you got to be the one percent. You have to
do what nobody else is doing. Getting up early to exercise,
going to bed early to get good rest, making water
with Celtic salt and with lemon every morning on an
empty stomach, doing oil pulling, reading in your book, doing
a gratitude journal, exercising every day, giving to charity, helping others,
(43:38):
eating a healthy diet, eating the rainbow, avoiding all the
white foods, avoiding all the plastics, avoiding all the heavy metals.
You gotta work for it. If you want to get healthy,
you gotta do the work, and you got to figure
out where your problem areas are. The best test to
figure out where your problem areas are, it's called a
qEEG brain mapping. With a q EEG brain mapping It
(44:02):
can actually tell us which areas of the brain are
functioning well and which area the brain is not functioning well.
It measures your brain waves, your alpha, beta, theta, delta.
Alpha brain waves is how you are normally. Beta is
when you're really thinking and focused. Theta is when you're daydreaming.
(44:23):
Delta is when you're sleeping. And based on the location
of the abnormal brain waves, it can tell us do
you have depression, do you have anxiety? Do you have
troubles with focus, concentration, motivation, organization, planning, time management, sleep?
Do you have a thyroid problem, intestinal inflammation, you have
low dopamine aceto colin? Have you had a concussion, heavy
(44:45):
metal poisoning, Have you had a pathology? Do you have dizzyness, headaches,
sensory problems? Tonight, it is low energy. It picks up
all with no radiation. There's no contrast fluid, there's no
small tube, there's no risk, no pain, super quick, super easy.
The test is normally six hundred dollars, but for the
(45:07):
first seven people to call, text or email, you could
get the brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. The
number to call is six four, six, two, two, one
sixty seven three eight, or you could text six four
(45:28):
six two two one six seven three eight, or you
can email info at Kaplinbrain and Body dot com just
let them know you want to do the q EEG
brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. Another test that
I think you should do is called a VNG or
a VOG. That's called a video nostography, and that measures
(45:52):
your eye movements and fast eye movements and slow and
up and down and left and right and in the
dark and in the light, and with a head movement
and stability and all this great stuff. And it could
tell us which areas the brain are overactive and which
areas are underactive. If it's overacting, you might have panic, anxiety, worry, anger, aggression, insomnia, ADHD.
(46:15):
Your mind's racing, you're always worried. If it's underactive, you
might have low motivation, poor memory, you might have fatigue,
you might have waking, you might have brain fog, confusion,
you might always be laid behind schedule. Everything's underactive. The
VNG also picks up that. And I'll say, is it
(46:36):
the left side the right side, Is that the parietal
cortext the front or the temporal the occipital breaks it
all down for you, and again no radiation love this test.
This test is also normally six hundred dollars, but for
the first seven people to call, text or email you
could get this test for only twenty one dollars. Caller
text six four six two two one six seven three eight,
(47:01):
or you can email info at kaplombraininbody dot com. The
last test is a one on one with me where
I go over your VNG, I go over your qEEG
brain mapping. If you've had blood work, I'll go over
your blood work. We'll also do a neurological and physical evaluation.
I'll listen to your heart, your lungs, your gut. Will
(47:21):
check out your memory, your balance, your posture, your alignment,
your coordination, your reflexes, your strength, your range of motion.
Your respiration will check out how your eyes respond to light,
your oxygen levels, your pulse rates. So we'll do a
full neurologic physical evaluation including memory, balance, sensory, motor, all
(47:43):
that great stuff. That is about forty five minutes. It's
normally six hundred dollars, but for the first seven people
to call, text or email, you could get that test
for only twenty one dollars. It's a one on one
with me, and if you want, you can do all
three twenty one dollars brain mapping, twenty one dollar VNG
and a twenty one dollar one on one with me.
(48:03):
You could say all three tests. The number again is
six four six two two one six seven three eight,
or you can email info at Kaplinbrainebody dot com. If
you like this information, you could get my book which
is called Boost Your Brain Power, A Guide to Improving
your Memory and Focus. You could get that on Amazon,
