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. Now, if we want to have good brain function,
we need to have good hormones. Hormones are very important.
(00:39):
There's a lot of different types of hormones. Let's go
over the big ones. Now, some people don't realize this,
but vitamin D is a hormone. It's not a vitamin.
It's not like vitamin A or B or C. Vitamin
D is actually a hormone. Okay, So a hormone can
(01:03):
be achieved through sunlight. The sun is powerful, So the
sun will actually increase vitamin D levels. When vitamin D
levels increase, that means that you're gonna have a better
(01:24):
immune system, your thyroid's gonna function better, your energy will
be higher, your brain will function at a higher level.
One of the most common findings with people with Alzheimer's
disease is they have vitamin D deficient. One of the
(01:45):
most common findings of people who have thyroid problems are
vitamin D deficient. One of the most common problems of
people who died from COVID was vitamin D deficiency because
it weakens your immune system. That's how important vitamin D is.
So do you want up good brain, the good thyroid,
(02:08):
good immune system, you better increase your vitamin D levels.
And we get it from the sun. And so go
lots on vacation. Go down south, go to California, go
to Florida, Go to Mexico, go to the Caribbean, go
to South America, go to Africa, go to India, go
to the equator. The closer to the equator, the stronger
(02:30):
the sun, and you'll get more vitamin D. Okay, and
just go outside. Even though we're up north right, So
I'm doing this from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania areas.
So we're northern states and we get less sunlight. So
(02:51):
you got to go outside during your lunch. So hopefully
you get a lunch you know, twelve one, two o'clock
where the sun's strongest, and Joe's go outside for ten minutes.
You have to spend a whole hour out there, but
every day go outside for ten minutes. Take advantage of
the sunlight. So go in the morning when the sun rises,
(03:17):
so the brain increases vitamin D increases energy. Then as
the sun sets, go outside for ten minutes so your
brain can relax, go to sleep, can heal. And then
ten minutes in the middle of the day where the
(03:38):
strong the sun is strongest to maximize your vitamin D potential.
So that is for your hormones, vitamin D. Get outside,
take a vacation, and you got to expose your body parts.
Meaning if you look out the window, Nope, you're not
(04:02):
getting the vitamin D. If you wear glasses, you're not
getting the vitamin D. The glasses are literally blocking the sun.
The sun has to go directly to your pupil. The
black circle in the middle of your eye, that's a
hole for the sun to get to the brain. It's
(04:23):
got to go through that hole. And if it's covered
with glasses, and I don't care if they're reading glasses,
far distance glasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, anything that covers your eye,
whether it's clear or not. It's gonna block that hole
and the sunlight is not gonna get in that hole,
(04:43):
and then you're not gonna get the proper vitamin D.
So you have to make sure that you're getting the
proper vitamin D by taking off your glasses, take off
your hat, roll up your sleep, roll up your pant legs,
get your eyes exposed, get your skin exposed. That's how
(05:06):
you can absorb vitamin D. And if you want to
prevent Alzheimer's, you want to prevent dementia, you need vitamin D.
You want to prevent COVID cancer, getting sick, you need
vitamin D. You want to fix your thyroid problem, hormone problem,
you need vitamin D. So get out in the sun.
(05:32):
That's doctor's orders. More important than any prescription you'll ever
take is going out in the sun. It will boost
your mood. There's something called seasonal affect disorder where in
the winter, because there's less vitamin D, people get depressed.
It literally affects your mood. So you need sun. It'll
(05:57):
boost your brain power. We need vitamin D. Take advantage
the sun is free. Just go outside. You can do
it on your own. And if you are stuck inside.
You know, whatever it is. You got a job where
(06:18):
they don't let you out for lunch, maybe you need
a new job. But get your vitamin D. If you
gotta supplement, don't go with a Whole Foods Vitamin shop GNC, CBS.
Don't buy supplements in these stores that have mass production.
(06:40):
The only vitamin D that I would ever take, and
that I suggest for my family, friends and patients, is
from Apex Energetics. If you're gonna take a supplement, only
take quality stuff. Ninety nine percent of supplements are horrible.
They're full of contaminants, purities, toxins, fillers, sugar, food dye.
(07:09):
It's crazy ingredients. Stay away from all these supplements. Don't
think you're being healthy by taking supplements. The healthiest people
take the least supplements. The healthiest people take the least herbs,
the least ivs, the least injections, the least vitamins, the
(07:30):
least supplements, the least medicine, the least doctors, the least tests.
Those are the healthy people that don't need anything. Because
you're eating healthy food, you're absorbing healthy food, you're getting sunlight,
you're drinking your water. You don't need anything If you
do everything right, there's no need to take supplements. This
(07:50):
is not the jetsons where pills should be. Your food
eat whole foods, not processed foods, not in boxes and
cans and you know bags. Eat real food, one ingredient
food from the earth. Eat your fruit, Eat your vegetables,
eat you're not your seeds. Eat your fish, your eggs,
(08:11):
your chicken, your turkey, your meat, just one ingredient, real food.
Stop eating processed foods that will cause brain inflammation. We
want to boost our brain power, not cause problems. And
it starts with vitamin D. And what's the next best viroain? Serotonin.
(08:37):
Serotonin is the happiness hormone. That's why a lot of
medications people with depression or anxiety, it's related to serotonin.
Get this SSRIs. Serotonin is the happiness hormone. Do you
(08:57):
want to be happy and you need serotonin? And guess
what also increases serotonin is sunlight? Come on, how much
do I have to convince you to get out? Go
out of your house. The house is for sleeping. You
(09:20):
should be out as much as possible. You eat dinner
in the house, go outside and take a walk. Right
after you eat breakfast, go outside, walk the dog, eat
your lunch outside. Take that break and take it outside
(09:42):
every morning. Gotta be outside every afternoon, in the lunch break,
every evening, when you get home or after dinner, you
gotta be outside. Get that sunlight, get that vitamin D.
Get that serotonin, the happiness hormone. Serotonin also regulates appetite,
(10:05):
controls your body temperature, It induces cell division. It's that important.
It helps with motor activity. I mean serotonin is you
can get it from eating bananas. Yes, that's right, eating bananas, lavender.
(10:28):
Essential oils like Young Living or Dotera, quality essential oils.
You equality vitamins, quality essential oils, quality food, quality water. Right,
don't buy this cheap stuff. Spend the extra money. Your
(10:49):
health is everything. Money means nothing if you're not healthy,
don't save a few bucks at the risk of your health.
You're gonna pay now, or you're gonna pay laid. It's
up to you. Stop being cheap when it comes to
your health. It's the only thing that matters. I'll be
(11:10):
cheap with everything else in my life. Accept my health.
I'll go above and beyond and spend all my money
on my health. That's the most important thing. You want
good cognitive function. Everyone comes to me. I want good memory.
You need serotonin, You need vitamin D. So eat your bananas,
(11:34):
smell your lavender, essential oils, get your sunlight, take your vacation,
go out in nature, get some physical exercise and body movement.
These are the ways you're gonna increase your serotonin levels.
(11:59):
It's super easy to do, but you gotta do it.
You gotta take action, and if can take action, you'll
function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Caplin, and you're listening to boost your
brain power.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches,
brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your
human potential and prevent future diseases. That this is the
show for you. Don't mis boost your brain power with
doctor Eric Caplan and you will learn natural, integrative and
(12:42):
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 famb is for getting to the root cause
of a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather
(13:04):
than treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To
contact the doctor Kamplin, you can call his team at
two O one two six one two one five zero
or visit his website at kaplindc dot com.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Function better, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
brain power. We're talking about hormones and how to maximize
your hormone levels, to boost your brain power, to rewire
(13:41):
your brain to a process called neuroplasticity, so that your
brain functions at optimal levels. You have good mood, good cognition,
good focus, good organization, motivation, good balance, good posture, good
(14:04):
vision and hearing, and smell and taste. Your brain is
vital to your health and your happiness, and we need
to make sure are hormones are in order. One of
the most important hormones is melatonin. That's the sleeping hormone. Now,
(14:27):
we don't want to take melatonin supplements because the brain
will say, hey, listen, you're taking melatonin supplements. I don't
have to produce it on my own. So if you
have troubles with sleep, if you have sleep apnea, sleep deprivation,
(14:49):
if you toss and turn, you wake up in the
middle of the night to pee, you wake up feeling
groggy and wanting to press the snooze alarm. You're not
getting that deep sleep. If you snore, you need a
CPAP right. If you need any help with sleep, one
(15:15):
of the worst things to do is take melatonin. You
gotta break down that system. You gotta produce the melatonin
on your own. Now here's the deal with melatonin. It
is inversely proportional to cortisol. Cortisol is the stress hormone.
(15:38):
You got melatonin the sleep hormone. Cortisol the stress hormone.
We need cortisol in the morning, that's all. We gotta
get stuff done, gotta get everything prepared, gotta exercise, gotta
go to work, gotta think, gotta focus. So in the
(16:02):
morning we want our cortisol levels high and our melatonin
levels low. So they're opposite, and at night we want
melatonin levels high and cortisol levels low. How are we
gonna accomplish this. Let's use the sun again. So if
(16:23):
you go outside ten minutes during sunset, the brain will
start to produce melatonin. Now, when you come home after sunset,
dim the lights, turn off the TV, turn off the computer,
turn off your cell phone, turn off your iPad. You
(16:44):
gotta take away the lights. The lights are gonna mess
up your melatonin because they're gonna increase cortisol. We want
cortisol low at night. And what stimulates cortisol light, So
dim your lights, turn off your smart devices, watch the
(17:06):
sun sets so it sees the earth's getting darker. That's
gonna increase melatonin. What's gonna work against it? Lots of light,
bright lights on eight o'clock at night, you're watching TV,
you're scrolling through your phone, you're on the computer checking emails.
(17:29):
Those are increasing cortisol. What else is gonna increase cortisol
at night? Nighttime snacking? Don't eat at night once the
sun sets. No more food. Food will increase cortisol, decrease melatonin,
Mess up your sleep, mess up your energy, your vitality.
(17:54):
You won't get your rest, you won't be able to
digest your food. The worst thing to do is at night,
have all your lights on, all your smart devices on
eating snacking, watching stressful stuff the news, you know, Walking
Dead SVU, you know, Orange is the new Black. Like
(18:16):
you don't want to watch stuff about murders and rapes
and jail and monsters and zombies and vampires. And you
don't want to watch the news, which is fires and
hurricanes and earthquakes and crime and racism and murders and
you know, natural disasters, economic downfall, you know, markets crashing.
(18:38):
It's always doom and gloom. Turn off the news. I
don't care if it's on the radio, if it's on
the TV, if it's the newspaper, you gotta stop it.
They're gonna make you more stressed. And you don't want
to do it right before bed because we want decreased
cortisols and increase melatonin. That's your hormones we gotta get
(19:00):
in order. So you need no food and no light
after sun down so to get maximal melatonin input, we
want to be done with food by six pm and
be sleeping by ten pm. So that's four hours of
(19:23):
no electronics, no light, no TV, no food. Those four
hours are super important. What are you gonna do? Talk
to your family, read a book, write a poem, listen
to some music, take a walk, learn a new dance,
(19:46):
learn a new language, do a jigsaw puzzle, play a
board game, play some cards. Take up a new hobby, crocheting, sculpting,
Do some cleaning of your house, do some organizing, do
some productivity, learn a new skill. You can do a
(20:12):
million things, can meditate, can exercise. I mean, the list
is endless. People are gonna go, oh, what am I
gonna do? What do you mean? Stop watching TV every night?
Who cares which sports team wins? Or what's the latest
(20:36):
TV show or the newest movie on Netflix? That stuff
will be there forever. Your life experiences is what matters.
If you unplug from your devices, you will be so
much happier. Your hormones will be in order, your cortisol
(20:58):
levels will decrease, your Meltonian will increase in night, so
you'll get good sleep, you'll get good rest, and that'll
boost your brain power. We need those circadium rhythms in order. Now.
If you've traveled and your circadian rhythms are off because
you know the time zone change, whatever it is, the
(21:20):
key is to be outside. So if you have a
different dimes on like three hours, Let's say you go
to California, and then you come back and oh man,
your circadian rhythms off. You can't get in a good
sleep pattern. You got to be outside for three hours,
out in the sun or the dark, so your brain
sees it. But you gotta be outside, not looking outside,
(21:42):
but actually be outside. You know, if there's a seven
hour time zone change, you know, like Europe or something
like that, then you got to be outside for seven hours.
And if it's twelve thirteen, let's say you go all
with Asia and you got to be outside for twelve hours,
thirteen hours. I don't care what it is. The amount
(22:02):
of hours difference in your time zone is the amount
of time you have to be outside, watching the sun,
watching the moon, watching it brighter, watching it get darker.
So that way your circadian rhythms can get in order,
and there you will you will know you won't get
jet lag. That's what they call it. Oh I got
jet lag. You gotta go outside. So the best cure
(22:24):
for jet lag is to go outside for the amount
of hours that there's a time zone change. Got it,
all right, super super easy to do, but you just
gotta do it. So as soon as you land, go outside,
all right, now, Another hormone that's important is insulin that
(22:45):
stimulates the entry of glucose into the cells there. It's
controlled by your pancreas and it's also related to your
triglycerise which are the fat so insulin is very important. Now,
some people have an issue with insulin and they take medicine.
(23:07):
They might have diabetes type one, which is an autoimmune disease,
so they take insulin. Now with autoimmune disease, in my opinion,
one of the best roots to take is an autoimmune
diet because then you prevent the body from attacking itself
and you reverse the autoimmune disease. The biggest autoimmune foods
(23:30):
are dairy, gluten, corn, soy, coffee, and alcohol. Those are
the big six. So if you have diabetes type one,
which is an autoimmune disease, If you have hashimotos which
is an autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis, silliac disease, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia,
(23:57):
chronic fatigue syndrome, ibs, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, chogrins, lupis, these
are all autoimmune diseases and you must eliminate those autoimmune
diseases for a minimum of six weeks. So you got dairy,
(24:20):
you got gluten, corn, soy, coffee, alcohol. Those are the
big six to avoid for autoimmune disease, which will help
out with insulin type diabetes type one. Right, So that
is a hormone that can be maintained by reversing autoimmune disease,
(24:43):
and all autoimmune disease will be reversed those Hashimotos is
just the label. Rheumatoid athritis is just the label. Siliac
is just a label. MS is just the label. It's
all just different body parts. MS is the brain, Hashimotives
is the thyroid, Celiac is the god. Rheumatoid athritis is
the joints. But they're all autoimmune disease. And you must
eliminate all six so that you can function better, feel better,
(25:08):
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan

on the. Brain one of the biggest hormone issues That
(26:32):
i'm seeing in my office these days is. Testosterone do
you know that WHEN i was growing, up the testosterone
levels were so much. Higher And i'm forty excuse, Me
i'm forty seven years. OLD i have more testosterone then. Teenagers,
(26:57):
yes you heard that. Right i'm at forty seven years
old and my level of testosterone is higher than. Teenagers
they did a study and found out that teenage boys, fourteen,
fifteen sixteen have such low testosterone levels in these years
(27:21):
twenty twenty, four twenty twenty, five that it's the same
as a seventy year old. Man that is. Insane the
testosterone levels are the lowest they've ever, been and that is.
SCARY i see so many patients for ED a rectile.
(27:42):
Dysfunction their testosterone levels are. Low there is a major
epidemic at low testosterone. Levels now where's this coming. From
because testosterone it stimulates, growth muscle, mass bone. Density we're
(28:07):
seeing osteoporosis go through the. Roof we're seeing. Weakness we're
seeing these men are more like. Women it's. Scary so
what do we gotta. Do we gotta go a little
(28:28):
bit old, school little. Machismo gotta pound that chest a little,
Bit gotta like lift some. Weights you gotta be, strong
gotna lift weights. Right you get your muscle, strong your
bone strong by lifting. Weights your mood gets. Better by lifting.
(28:49):
Weights you'll prevent. Osteoporosis by lifting. Weights you could reverse.
Osteoporosis by lifting. Weights you could reverse. Depression by lifting.
Weights you have a walking pharmacy in your, muscles but
you gotta use. It you use it or you lose.
It so go to the.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Gym buy yourself some, weights some, dumbbells some, kettlebells some resistance.
BANDS i don't care what you. GET i don't care
if you. Do just you could use your body. Weight
you could do push ups and pull. Ups you, know
(29:32):
when they.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Closed my gym DURING, covid LITERALLY i just went down
the street and went to the elementary. SCHOOL i started
doing pull ups and the you, know the jungle. GYM
i started lifting rocks for weights and. BRANCHES i just
start doing push ups and running and. Sprinting and it's,
like you don't need any. Equipment, yeah, okay if you have, it,
(29:53):
great it's. Fun you can do squats and lunges and
push up and sit ups and wall sits and chair,
pushes and you, know there's a million things you can
do that are considered weight resistant exercises that are gonna
boost your, testosterone boost your muscle, mass get your bone,
(30:16):
stronger get your mood. Better but you need. Resistance you
could literally just take you, know your grocery bag full
of a bunch of you, know a couple of, watermelons
and there's your. WEIGHTS i don't care what it, is
but you gotta gotta work, it you, know get your
computer bag and start doing bicep. Curls we need testosterol levels.
(30:40):
Higher we need to increase weight resistant. Exercises that's the
most important. Thing you have ed start with lifting. Weights
you will get blood flow to your, muscles but you
also get blood blow to your. Genitalia you'll also get
(31:05):
more blood flow to your brain and boost your mood
and your. Motivation lift, weights weight resistant exercises to some core,
stability some, planks but we have to lift, weights. Right
(31:27):
we need our testosterone levels. Higher we need some. Competition
maybe part of the reason our teenagers testosterone levels are
low is because there's less. Competition. Now you, know everyone
gets surprised everyone gets the. Award they don't like tuning
(31:53):
wizards and. Losers we need to strive to. Win we
need that competitive. Nature SO i don't care what it.
Is some, sports you, know maybe some, cards maybe it
could be money, business be competitive. SOMEHOW i don't care
what it. Is i'm gonna you, know it doesn't have
(32:15):
to BE i have to lift the most. Weights you,
know be, saying, Oh i'm gonna be you, know the
best chess. Player get some competition and beat people that
don't get your testosterone going beat them in. Cards so
it doesn't necessarily have to be. Physical but if it is,
physical then you're doubling up on your. Testosterone so that's
(32:37):
WHY i like. SPORTS i play basketball AND i always
want to. WIN i play. TENNIS i always want to.
Win that gets my testosterone. HIGHER i want to. WIN
i want to be. Competitive compete against. Yourself if you
have to, Know i'm gonna, whatever earn more, Money i'm

(32:59):
Charity i'm going to you, know drink more, water get better.
Sleep just be. Competitive if it's not with another, person
at least with. Yourself got to strive to. Improve get
the testosterone going. Now one of the reasons why men
(33:23):
young men have less testosterone is because they have too much.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Estrogen and the estrogen comes from, soy tofu bean, curd adam,
mae soy, sauce.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Soybean. OIL a lot of the vegetarian stuff like whatever,
impossible burger or. WHATEVER a lot of the fake milks
and fake dairy, products fake meats are of, soy and
(34:03):
this increases estrogen and decreases. Testosterone she's got to stay
away from all the, soy especially In. America we have
the worst soil in the, world literally the worst. Soi
america has the worst. Soy never get soy In. America
we have the worst. Corn never get corn In. America

anyway but the worst is In. AMERICA i, mean we
literally have the worst foods in the, world the, worst
(34:50):

Weightlifting another way to increase testosterone is through competition being.
(39:35):
COMPETITIVE a third way to increase testosterone is to avoid

(40:27):
moodiness you got to get rid of. Plastics guess what's?
Plastics are the workout, clothes the polyester those all those
you know tights that the women wear a lot like
when they work out at the, gym those are. Plastics
those are messing with your. Hormones so if you have hormonal,
(40:51):
issues you have bad, periods you have morning, sickness you
got hot, flashes you got you, know, menopause none of
those are. Normal if you have hormonal, symptoms you're doing
something wrong and it might be all the. Plastics and
if you buy food that's in, plastics take it out,
(41:12):
immediately soak it in a bowl that's with baking soda and.
Vinegar that'll take off all the. Chemicals and store it
in glass or stainless. Steel when you pack your, lunch
glass or stainless, steel not in. Plastic when you have
(41:33):
a water, bottle glass or stainless. Steel no, plastic and
definitely don't use plastic in the. Microwave don't use the
microwave heat stuff up in glass or stainless steel in
a toaster. Oven that's. It start using glass and stainless
(41:55):
steel and stop using. Plastics do not or anything in.
Plastic do not used. Plastic do not drink out of plastic.
Bottles do not wear these plastic. Clothes it gets absorbed
through your. Skin wear. Cotton cotton is, healthy glass is,
(42:22):
healthy stainless steel is. Healthy plastic is. Not it is
a hormone. Disruptor plus it's. Pollution save the, oceans save the.
(42:42):
Land stop polluting with all these. Plastics use glass and reuse.
It you never have to throw out. Glass we always
throw out plasts and don't ever reuse. Plastic the more
you reuse a plastic water, bottle more chemicals you. Imbibe
(43:02):
the average human literally is taking in about a credit
card size worth a plastic every year in their, life
and it's getting more and. More the credit card is
getting bigger and. Bigger there's an island of plastic garbage
the size Of texas floating around the. Ocean there's just
so much. Plastic you got to get rid of all the.
(43:25):
Plastics start using glass and stainless. Steel all, Right no
more hormone, disruptors, right all. Right so one other HORMONE
i want to talk, about which is important is well
(43:48):
it's called, aldosterone and that is helps with the reabsorption
of sodium and the secretion of potassium them in the. Kidney,
now you're adrenal gland sits on top of the, kidneys
and we need good hydration for our kidneys and bladder
(44:11):
to function. Best so what you want to do for
this is drink water out of the, filter not out
of a plastic water, bottle and put a pinch Of
celtic salt ce l T i See celtic sea salt
in the. Water that's gonna help to balance out your,
(44:31):
hormones especially this. Aldosterone it'll help your, kidneys it'll help
with your, stress it'll help with your. HYDRATION i, mean
the water is a cure for so many. Conditions when
women get menstal, cramps it's usually. Dehydration people get, headaches
it's usually. Dehydration when people get their the calf camps
and the calf cramps in the middle of the night
(44:55):
or at, night that's usually. Dehydration when they sleep apne
there's dry they're. Dehydrated when you get sick and you throw,
up you get, diarrhea you're. Dehydrated if you drink, coffee
it's a. Diuretic it dehydrates. You, Right all these things dehydrate.
(45:15):
You and most people are drinking the water that's full
of this, plastic full of no, minerals so it doesn't get.
Absorbed so you just strain your, kidneys strain your bladder
without even utilizing. It so we want to maximize our.
Homos we need to drink water With celtic salt in,
(45:37):
there and you want to drink it on an empty.
Stomach don't drink water with. Food you want to drink
water a half hour before each, meal and you want
to drink it right when you get, up and then
you want to drink it at night those, year you
know most important, times right when you wake up half
hour before each, meal and one time at. Night and
(46:00):
you should be able to sleep throughout the whole, night
as long as you got this, aldosteron as long as
you got your, kidney your autonomic nervous. System most people
wake up to peak not because they drink water at,
night but because they eat food at, night and that
will increase. Cortisol that's the stress hormone that affects Your
kidney's your aldesterone that's gonna get you up in the
(46:21):
middle of the. Night it's not, water it's actually, food.
Okay and these hormones will affect your brain. Function think
about your brain when it's. Dehydrated it's like a. Grape
it's gonna shrivel up to a. Raisin so if you
want to increase your, memory your, focus your, motivation your,
(46:43):
energy your, organization your time, management your executive, functions you
want to boost your brain, power you need to drink
your water with The celtic. SALT i always like to
squeeze lemon in. There very, good very healthy. Drink you
don't need, coffee that's that dehydrates. You just drink your
water with your lemon and Your celtic, salt and therefore
(47:07):
your brain will be nice and juicy and. Alive your

drink water with, food drink it on an empty. Stomach,
now how do we know if our brain's not functioning? Well,
well we got to do a. Test the best test
is called A qEEG brain. Mapping during this, test you
(47:50):
wear a. Cap it looks like a swimmer's, cap and
it's got electrodes that are attached to. It and these
electrodes that measure your brain weights the alpha, brainwave it's the,
beta the, theta the, Delta and based on the location
of the abnormal brain, waves it can tell us which
areas of the brain are functioning well and which areas are.
Not it'll tell us do you have sleep, deprivations you have?
(48:12):
Anxiety do you worry too? Much it tells us about our.

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. Now, if we want to have good brain function,
we need to have good hormones. Hormones are very important.
(00:39):
There's a lot of different types of hormones. Let's go
over the big ones. Now, some people don't realize this,
but vitamin D is a hormone. It's not a vitamin.
It's not like vitamin A or B or C. Vitamin
D is actually a hormone. Okay, So a hormone can
(01:03):
be achieved through sunlight. The sun is powerful, So the
sun will actually increase vitamin D levels. When vitamin D
levels increase, that means that you're gonna have a better
(01:24):
immune system, your thyroid's gonna function better, your energy will
be higher, your brain will function at a higher level.
One of the most common findings with people with Alzheimer's
disease is they have vitamin D deficient. One of the
(01:45):
most common findings of people who have thyroid problems are
vitamin D deficient. One of the most common problems of
people who died from COVID was vitamin D deficiency because
it weakens your immune system. That's how important vitamin D is.
So do you want up good brain, the good thyroid,
(02:08):
good immune system, you better increase your vitamin D levels.
And we get it from the sun. And so go
lots on vacation. Go down south, go to California, go
to Florida, Go to Mexico, go to the Caribbean, go
to South America, go to Africa, go to India, go
to the equator. The closer to the equator, the stronger
(02:30):
the sun, and you'll get more vitamin D. Okay, and
just go outside. Even though we're up north right, So
I'm doing this from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania areas.
So we're northern states and we get less sunlight. So
(02:51):
you got to go outside during your lunch. So hopefully
you get a lunch you know, twelve one, two o'clock
where the sun's strongest, and Joe's go outside for ten minutes.
You have to spend a whole hour out there, but
every day go outside for ten minutes. Take advantage of
the sunlight. So go in the morning when the sun rises,
(03:17):
so the brain increases vitamin D increases energy. Then as
the sun sets, go outside for ten minutes so your
brain can relax, go to sleep, can heal. And then
ten minutes in the middle of the day where the
(03:38):
strong the sun is strongest to maximize your vitamin D potential.
So that is for your hormones, vitamin D. Get outside,
take a vacation, and you got to expose your body parts.
Meaning if you look out the window, Nope, you're not
(04:02):
getting the vitamin D. If you wear glasses, you're not
getting the vitamin D. The glasses are literally blocking the sun.
The sun has to go directly to your pupil. The
black circle in the middle of your eye, that's a
hole for the sun to get to the brain. It's
(04:23):
got to go through that hole. And if it's covered
with glasses, and I don't care if they're reading glasses,
far distance glasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, anything that covers your eye,
whether it's clear or not. It's gonna block that hole
and the sunlight is not gonna get in that hole,
(04:43):
and then you're not gonna get the proper vitamin D.
So you have to make sure that you're getting the
proper vitamin D by taking off your glasses, take off
your hat, roll up your sleep, roll up your pant legs,
get your eyes exposed, get your skin exposed. That's how
(05:06):
you can absorb vitamin D. And if you want to
prevent Alzheimer's, you want to prevent dementia, you need vitamin D.
You want to prevent COVID cancer, getting sick, you need
vitamin D. You want to fix your thyroid problem, hormone problem,
you need vitamin D. So get out in the sun.
(05:32):
That's doctor's orders. More important than any prescription you'll ever
take is going out in the sun. It will boost
your mood. There's something called seasonal affect disorder where in
the winter, because there's less vitamin D, people get depressed.
It literally affects your mood. So you need sun. It'll
(05:57):
boost your brain power. We need vitamin D. Take advantage
the sun is free. Just go outside. You can do
it on your own. And if you are stuck inside.
You know, whatever it is. You got a job where
(06:18):
they don't let you out for lunch, maybe you need
a new job. But get your vitamin D. If you
gotta supplement, don't go with a Whole Foods Vitamin shop GNC, CBS.
Don't buy supplements in these stores that have mass production.
(06:40):
The only vitamin D that I would ever take, and
that I suggest for my family, friends and patients, is
from Apex Energetics. If you're gonna take a supplement, only
take quality stuff. Ninety nine percent of supplements are horrible.
They're full of contaminants, purities, toxins, fillers, sugar, food dye.
(07:09):
It's crazy ingredients. Stay away from all these supplements. Don't
think you're being healthy by taking supplements. The healthiest people
take the least supplements. The healthiest people take the least herbs,
the least ivs, the least injections, the least vitamins, the
(07:30):
least supplements, the least medicine, the least doctors, the least tests.
Those are the healthy people that don't need anything. Because
you're eating healthy food, you're absorbing healthy food, you're getting sunlight,
you're drinking your water. You don't need anything If you
do everything right, there's no need to take supplements. This
(07:50):
is not the jetsons where pills should be. Your food
eat whole foods, not processed foods, not in boxes and
cans and you know bags. Eat real food, one ingredient
food from the earth. Eat your fruit, Eat your vegetables,
eat you're not your seeds. Eat your fish, your eggs,
(08:11):
your chicken, your turkey, your meat, just one ingredient, real food.
Stop eating processed foods that will cause brain inflammation. We
want to boost our brain power, not cause problems. And
it starts with vitamin D. And what's the next best viroain? Serotonin.
(08:37):
Serotonin is the happiness hormone. That's why a lot of
medications people with depression or anxiety, it's related to serotonin.
Get this SSRIs. Serotonin is the happiness hormone. Do you
(08:57):
want to be happy and you need serotonin? And guess
what also increases serotonin is sunlight? Come on, how much
do I have to convince you to get out? Go
out of your house. The house is for sleeping. You
(09:20):
should be out as much as possible. You eat dinner
in the house, go outside and take a walk. Right
after you eat breakfast, go outside, walk the dog, eat
your lunch outside. Take that break and take it outside
(09:42):
every morning. Gotta be outside every afternoon, in the lunch break,
every evening, when you get home or after dinner, you
gotta be outside. Get that sunlight, get that vitamin D.
Get that serotonin, the happiness hormone. Serotonin also regulates appetite,
(10:05):
controls your body temperature, It induces cell division. It's that important.
It helps with motor activity. I mean serotonin is you
can get it from eating bananas. Yes, that's right, eating bananas, lavender.
(10:28):
Essential oils like Young Living or Dotera, quality essential oils.
You equality vitamins, quality essential oils, quality food, quality water. Right,
don't buy this cheap stuff. Spend the extra money. Your
(10:49):
health is everything. Money means nothing if you're not healthy,
don't save a few bucks at the risk of your health.
You're gonna pay now, or you're gonna pay laid. It's
up to you. Stop being cheap when it comes to
your health. It's the only thing that matters. I'll be
(11:10):
cheap with everything else in my life. Accept my health.
I'll go above and beyond and spend all my money
on my health. That's the most important thing. You want
good cognitive function. Everyone comes to me. I want good memory.
You need serotonin, You need vitamin D. So eat your bananas,
(11:34):
smell your lavender, essential oils, get your sunlight, take your vacation,
go out in nature, get some physical exercise and body movement.
These are the ways you're gonna increase your serotonin levels.
(11:59):
It's super easy to do, but you gotta do it.
You gotta take action, and if can take action, you'll
function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Caplin, and you're listening to boost your
brain power.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches,
brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your
human potential and prevent future diseases. That this is the

doctor Eric Caplan and you will learn natural, integrative and
(12:42):
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 famb is for getting to the root cause
of a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather
(13:04):
than treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To
contact the doctor Kamplin, you can call his team at
two O one two six one two one five zero
or visit his website at kaplindc dot com.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Function better, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
brain power. We're talking about hormones and how to maximize
your hormone levels, to boost your brain power, to rewire
(13:41):
your brain to a process called neuroplasticity, so that your
brain functions at optimal levels. You have good mood, good cognition,
good focus, good organization, motivation, good balance, good posture, good
(14:04):
vision and hearing, and smell and taste. Your brain is
vital to your health and your happiness, and we need
to make sure are hormones are in order. One of
the most important hormones is melatonin. That's the sleeping hormone. Now,
(14:27):
we don't want to take melatonin supplements because the brain
will say, hey, listen, you're taking melatonin supplements. I don't
have to produce it on my own. So if you
have troubles with sleep, if you have sleep apnea, sleep deprivation,
(14:49):
if you toss and turn, you wake up in the
middle of the night to pee, you wake up feeling
groggy and wanting to press the snooze alarm. You're not
getting that deep sleep. If you snore, you need a
CPAP right. If you need any help with sleep, one
(15:15):
of the worst things to do is take melatonin. You
gotta break down that system. You gotta produce the melatonin
on your own. Now here's the deal with melatonin. It
is inversely proportional to cortisol. Cortisol is the stress hormone.
(15:38):
You got melatonin the sleep hormone. Cortisol the stress hormone.
We need cortisol in the morning, that's all. We gotta
get stuff done, gotta get everything prepared, gotta exercise, gotta
go to work, gotta think, gotta focus. So in the
(16:02):
morning we want our cortisol levels high and our melatonin
levels low. So they're opposite, and at night we want
melatonin levels high and cortisol levels low. How are we
gonna accomplish this. Let's use the sun again. So if
(16:23):
you go outside ten minutes during sunset, the brain will
start to produce melatonin. Now, when you come home after sunset,
dim the lights, turn off the TV, turn off the computer,
turn off your cell phone, turn off your iPad. You
(16:44):
gotta take away the lights. The lights are gonna mess
up your melatonin because they're gonna increase cortisol. We want
cortisol low at night. And what stimulates cortisol light, So
dim your lights, turn off your smart devices, watch the
(17:06):
sun sets so it sees the earth's getting darker. That's
gonna increase melatonin. What's gonna work against it? Lots of light,
bright lights on eight o'clock at night, you're watching TV,
you're scrolling through your phone, you're on the computer checking emails.
(17:29):
Those are increasing cortisol. What else is gonna increase cortisol
at night? Nighttime snacking? Don't eat at night once the
sun sets. No more food. Food will increase cortisol, decrease melatonin,
Mess up your sleep, mess up your energy, your vitality.
(17:54):
You won't get your rest, you won't be able to
digest your food. The worst thing to do is at night,
have all your lights on, all your smart devices on
eating snacking, watching stressful stuff the news, you know, Walking
Dead SVU, you know, Orange is the new Black. Like
(18:16):
you don't want to watch stuff about murders and rapes
and jail and monsters and zombies and vampires. And you
don't want to watch the news, which is fires and
hurricanes and earthquakes and crime and racism and murders and
you know, natural disasters, economic downfall, you know, markets crashing.
(18:38):
It's always doom and gloom. Turn off the news. I
don't care if it's on the radio, if it's on
the TV, if it's the newspaper, you gotta stop it.
They're gonna make you more stressed. And you don't want
to do it right before bed because we want decreased
cortisols and increase melatonin. That's your hormones we gotta get
(19:00):
in order. So you need no food and no light
after sun down so to get maximal melatonin input, we
want to be done with food by six pm and
be sleeping by ten pm. So that's four hours of
(19:23):
no electronics, no light, no TV, no food. Those four
hours are super important. What are you gonna do? Talk
to your family, read a book, write a poem, listen
to some music, take a walk, learn a new dance,
(19:46):
learn a new language, do a jigsaw puzzle, play a
board game, play some cards. Take up a new hobby, crocheting, sculpting,
Do some cleaning of your house, do some organizing, do
some productivity, learn a new skill. You can do a
(20:12):
million things, can meditate, can exercise. I mean, the list
is endless. People are gonna go, oh, what am I
gonna do? What do you mean? Stop watching TV every night?
Who cares which sports team wins? Or what's the latest
(20:36):
TV show or the newest movie on Netflix? That stuff
will be there forever. Your life experiences is what matters.
If you unplug from your devices, you will be so
much happier. Your hormones will be in order, your cortisol
(20:58):
levels will decrease, your Meltonian will increase in night, so
you'll get good sleep, you'll get good rest, and that'll
boost your brain power. We need those circadium rhythms in order. Now.
If you've traveled and your circadian rhythms are off because
you know the time zone change, whatever it is, the
(21:20):
key is to be outside. So if you have a
different dimes on like three hours, Let's say you go
to California, and then you come back and oh man,
your circadian rhythms off. You can't get in a good
sleep pattern. You got to be outside for three hours,
out in the sun or the dark, so your brain
sees it. But you gotta be outside, not looking outside,
(21:42):
but actually be outside. You know, if there's a seven
hour time zone change, you know, like Europe or something
like that, then you got to be outside for seven hours.
And if it's twelve thirteen, let's say you go all
with Asia and you got to be outside for twelve hours,
thirteen hours. I don't care what it is. The amount
(22:02):
of hours difference in your time zone is the amount
of time you have to be outside, watching the sun,
watching the moon, watching it brighter, watching it get darker.
So that way your circadian rhythms can get in order,
and there you will you will know you won't get
jet lag. That's what they call it. Oh I got
jet lag. You gotta go outside. So the best cure
(22:24):
for jet lag is to go outside for the amount
of hours that there's a time zone change. Got it,
all right, super super easy to do, but you just
gotta do it. So as soon as you land, go outside,
all right, now, Another hormone that's important is insulin that
(22:45):
stimulates the entry of glucose into the cells there. It's
controlled by your pancreas and it's also related to your
triglycerise which are the fat so insulin is very important. Now,
some people have an issue with insulin and they take medicine.
(23:07):
They might have diabetes type one, which is an autoimmune disease,
so they take insulin. Now with autoimmune disease, in my opinion,
one of the best roots to take is an autoimmune
diet because then you prevent the body from attacking itself
and you reverse the autoimmune disease. The biggest autoimmune foods
(23:30):
are dairy, gluten, corn, soy, coffee, and alcohol. Those are
the big six. So if you have diabetes type one,
which is an autoimmune disease, If you have hashimotos which
is an autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis, silliac disease, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia,
(23:57):
chronic fatigue syndrome, ibs, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, chogrins, lupis, these
are all autoimmune diseases and you must eliminate those autoimmune
diseases for a minimum of six weeks. So you got dairy,
(24:20):
you got gluten, corn, soy, coffee, alcohol. Those are the
big six to avoid for autoimmune disease, which will help
out with insulin type diabetes type one. Right, So that
is a hormone that can be maintained by reversing autoimmune disease,
(24:43):
and all autoimmune disease will be reversed those Hashimotos is
just the label. Rheumatoid athritis is just the label. Siliac
is just a label. MS is just the label. It's
all just different body parts. MS is the brain, Hashimotives
is the thyroid, Celiac is the god. Rheumatoid athritis is
the joints. But they're all autoimmune disease. And you must
eliminate all six so that you can function better, feel better,
(25:08):
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan

your brain. Power we're talking about hormones and its effect
on the. Brain one of the biggest hormone issues That
(26:32):
i'm seeing in my office these days is. Testosterone do
you know that WHEN i was growing, up the testosterone
levels were so much. Higher And i'm forty excuse, Me
i'm forty seven years. OLD i have more testosterone then. Teenagers,
(26:57):
yes you heard that. Right i'm at forty seven years
old and my level of testosterone is higher than. Teenagers
they did a study and found out that teenage boys, fourteen,
fifteen sixteen have such low testosterone levels in these years
(27:21):
twenty twenty, four twenty twenty, five that it's the same
as a seventy year old. Man that is. Insane the
testosterone levels are the lowest they've ever, been and that is.
SCARY i see so many patients for ED a rectile.
(27:42):
Dysfunction their testosterone levels are. Low there is a major
epidemic at low testosterone. Levels now where's this coming. From
because testosterone it stimulates, growth muscle, mass bone. Density we're
(28:07):
seeing osteoporosis go through the. Roof we're seeing. Weakness we're
seeing these men are more like. Women it's. Scary so
what do we gotta. Do we gotta go a little
(28:28):
bit old, school little. Machismo gotta pound that chest a little,
Bit gotta like lift some. Weights you gotta be, strong
gotna lift weights. Right you get your muscle, strong your
bone strong by lifting. Weights your mood gets. Better by lifting.
(28:49):
Weights you'll prevent. Osteoporosis by lifting. Weights you could reverse.
Osteoporosis by lifting. Weights you could reverse. Depression by lifting.
Weights you have a walking pharmacy in your, muscles but
you gotta use. It you use it or you lose.
It so go to the.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Gym buy yourself some, weights some, dumbbells some, kettlebells some resistance.
BANDS i don't care what you. GET i don't care
if you. Do just you could use your body. Weight
you could do push ups and pull. Ups you, know
(29:32):
when they.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Closed my gym DURING, covid LITERALLY i just went down
the street and went to the elementary. SCHOOL i started
doing pull ups and the you, know the jungle. GYM
i started lifting rocks for weights and. BRANCHES i just
start doing push ups and running and. Sprinting and it's,
like you don't need any. Equipment, yeah, okay if you have, it,
(29:53):
great it's. Fun you can do squats and lunges and
push up and sit ups and wall sits and chair,
pushes and you, know there's a million things you can
do that are considered weight resistant exercises that are gonna
boost your, testosterone boost your muscle, mass get your bone,
(30:16):
stronger get your mood. Better but you need. Resistance you
could literally just take you, know your grocery bag full
of a bunch of you, know a couple of, watermelons
and there's your. WEIGHTS i don't care what it, is
but you gotta gotta work, it you, know get your
computer bag and start doing bicep. Curls we need testosterol levels.
(30:40):
Higher we need to increase weight resistant. Exercises that's the
most important. Thing you have ed start with lifting. Weights
you will get blood flow to your, muscles but you
also get blood blow to your. Genitalia you'll also get
(31:05):
more blood flow to your brain and boost your mood
and your. Motivation lift, weights weight resistant exercises to some core,
stability some, planks but we have to lift, weights. Right
(31:27):
we need our testosterone levels. Higher we need some. Competition
maybe part of the reason our teenagers testosterone levels are
low is because there's less. Competition. Now you, know everyone
gets surprised everyone gets the. Award they don't like tuning
(31:53):
wizards and. Losers we need to strive to. Win we
need that competitive. Nature SO i don't care what it.
Is some, sports you, know maybe some, cards maybe it
could be money, business be competitive. SOMEHOW i don't care
what it. Is i'm gonna you, know it doesn't have
(32:15):
to BE i have to lift the most. Weights you,
know be, saying, Oh i'm gonna be you, know the
best chess. Player get some competition and beat people that
don't get your testosterone going beat them in. Cards so
it doesn't necessarily have to be. Physical but if it is,
physical then you're doubling up on your. Testosterone so that's
(32:37):
WHY i like. SPORTS i play basketball AND i always
want to. WIN i play. TENNIS i always want to.
Win that gets my testosterone. HIGHER i want to. WIN
i want to be. Competitive compete against. Yourself if you
have to, Know i'm gonna, whatever earn more, Money i'm
gonna go to church. More i'm going to give more.
(32:59):
Charity i'm going to you, know drink more, water get better.
Sleep just be. Competitive if it's not with another, person
at least with. Yourself got to strive to. Improve get
the testosterone going. Now one of the reasons why men
(33:23):
young men have less testosterone is because they have too much.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Estrogen and the estrogen comes from, soy tofu bean, curd adam,
mae soy, sauce.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Soybean. OIL a lot of the vegetarian stuff like whatever,
impossible burger or. WHATEVER a lot of the fake milks
and fake dairy, products fake meats are of, soy and
(34:03):
this increases estrogen and decreases. Testosterone she's got to stay
away from all the, soy especially In. America we have
the worst soil in the, world literally the worst. Soi
america has the worst. Soy never get soy In. America
we have the worst. Corn never get corn In. America
(34:26):
we have the worst bread and. Pasta never ever get
bread and. Pasta In. America we have the worst. Dairy
you never have dairy, anyway but definitely not In. America
we got the worst. Wine you should never have wine,
anyway but the worst is In. AMERICA i, mean we
literally have the worst foods in the, world the, worst
(34:50):
not in developed, countries in the entire. World, Yes i'm.
Serious so we have to be very careful with what
we buy because most of the foods aren't. Poison. Yeah
my wife goes the other. DAY i, said, oh that's.
Poison she, Goes, yeah you say everything's. Poison, yeah it.
(35:13):
Is ninety nine percent of the stuff that you're gonna

Weightlifting another way to increase testosterone is through competition being.
(39:35):
COMPETITIVE a third way to increase testosterone is to avoid
all soy, products and a fourth way to increase testosterone
is to eliminate plastics from your. Life plastic are endocrine.
(40:02):
Disruptors they will mess with your. Testosterone do not drink
out of plastic water. Bottles if you want to reverse.
Ed if you want to get rid of hot, flashes night,
sweats you want to get rid of morning, sickness menstrual, cramps,
(40:27):
moodiness you got to get rid of. Plastics guess what's?
Plastics are the workout, clothes the polyester those all those
you know tights that the women wear a lot like
when they work out at the, gym those are. Plastics
those are messing with your. Hormones so if you have hormonal,
(40:51):
issues you have bad, periods you have morning, sickness you
got hot, flashes you got you, know, menopause none of
those are. Normal if you have hormonal, symptoms you're doing
something wrong and it might be all the. Plastics and
if you buy food that's in, plastics take it out,
(41:12):
immediately soak it in a bowl that's with baking soda and.
Vinegar that'll take off all the. Chemicals and store it
in glass or stainless. Steel when you pack your, lunch
glass or stainless, steel not in. Plastic when you have
(41:33):
a water, bottle glass or stainless. Steel no, plastic and
definitely don't use plastic in the. Microwave don't use the
microwave heat stuff up in glass or stainless steel in
a toaster. Oven that's. It start using glass and stainless
(41:55):
steel and stop using. Plastics do not or anything in.
Plastic do not used. Plastic do not drink out of plastic.
Bottles do not wear these plastic. Clothes it gets absorbed
through your. Skin wear. Cotton cotton is, healthy glass is,
(42:22):
healthy stainless steel is. Healthy plastic is. Not it is
a hormone. Disruptor plus it's. Pollution save the, oceans save the.
(42:42):
Land stop polluting with all these. Plastics use glass and reuse.
It you never have to throw out. Glass we always
throw out plasts and don't ever reuse. Plastic the more
you reuse a plastic water, bottle more chemicals you. Imbibe
(43:02):
the average human literally is taking in about a credit
card size worth a plastic every year in their, life
and it's getting more and. More the credit card is
getting bigger and. Bigger there's an island of plastic garbage
the size Of texas floating around the. Ocean there's just
so much. Plastic you got to get rid of all the.
(43:25):
Plastics start using glass and stainless. Steel all, Right no
more hormone, disruptors, right all. Right so one other HORMONE
i want to talk, about which is important is well
(43:48):
it's called, aldosterone and that is helps with the reabsorption
of sodium and the secretion of potassium them in the. Kidney,
now you're adrenal gland sits on top of the, kidneys
and we need good hydration for our kidneys and bladder
(44:11):
to function. Best so what you want to do for
this is drink water out of the, filter not out
of a plastic water, bottle and put a pinch Of
celtic salt ce l T i See celtic sea salt
in the. Water that's gonna help to balance out your,
(44:31):
hormones especially this. Aldosterone it'll help your, kidneys it'll help
with your, stress it'll help with your. HYDRATION i, mean
the water is a cure for so many. Conditions when
women get menstal, cramps it's usually. Dehydration people get, headaches
it's usually. Dehydration when people get their the calf camps
and the calf cramps in the middle of the night
(44:55):
or at, night that's usually. Dehydration when they sleep apne
there's dry they're. Dehydrated when you get sick and you throw,
up you get, diarrhea you're. Dehydrated if you drink, coffee
it's a. Diuretic it dehydrates. You, Right all these things dehydrate.
(45:15):
You and most people are drinking the water that's full
of this, plastic full of no, minerals so it doesn't get.
Absorbed so you just strain your, kidneys strain your bladder
without even utilizing. It so we want to maximize our.
Homos we need to drink water With celtic salt in,
(45:37):
there and you want to drink it on an empty.
Stomach don't drink water with. Food you want to drink
water a half hour before each, meal and you want
to drink it right when you get, up and then
you want to drink it at night those, year you
know most important, times right when you wake up half
hour before each, meal and one time at. Night and
(46:00):
you should be able to sleep throughout the whole, night
as long as you got this, aldosteron as long as
you got your, kidney your autonomic nervous. System most people
wake up to peak not because they drink water at,
night but because they eat food at, night and that
will increase. Cortisol that's the stress hormone that affects Your
kidney's your aldesterone that's gonna get you up in the
(46:21):
middle of the. Night it's not, water it's actually, food.
Okay and these hormones will affect your brain. Function think
about your brain when it's. Dehydrated it's like a. Grape
it's gonna shrivel up to a. Raisin so if you
want to increase your, memory your, focus your, motivation your,
(46:43):
energy your, organization your time, management your executive, functions you
want to boost your brain, power you need to drink
your water with The celtic. SALT i always like to
squeeze lemon in. There very, good very healthy. Drink you
don't need, coffee that's that dehydrates. You just drink your
water with your lemon and Your celtic, salt and therefore
(47:07):
your brain will be nice and juicy and. Alive your
muscles will be nice and, strong your skin will look really.
Nice your bowel movements will improve your, respiration your, circulation
your blood pressure goes. Down all from drinking the right
amount of, water which is half your body weight in,
ounces with The celtic, salt with the squared lemon for some.
(47:28):
Flavor that is your solution to proper hydration and proper.
Function super, easy but you just gotta do. It don't
drink water with, food drink it on an empty. Stomach,
now how do we know if our brain's not functioning? Well,
well we got to do a. Test the best test
