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. May is Mental Awareness Month. Mental disorders are
through the roof. It's so bad that one out of

(00:41):
every four to five teenagers have contemplated suicide, actually killing themselves.
That is scary. We've never had more young people on
anti anxiety pills, anti depressions, mood stabilizers SSRIs xamax adderall.

(01:06):
I mean, it's out of control. What's the problem. A
lot of it has to do with the cell phones.
The cell phones create a lot of anxiety and depression.
You know, it's like a drug. When you send somebody

(01:28):
a text message and you don't get a response right away,
then you start to get depressed. And then an hour
goes by and you still don't get a response. Then
you get even anxious, and then the next day comes
and there's no and your mind's raising. You worry, you

(01:49):
get angry, you get aggressive, you panic. Why aren't they
texting me?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
What did I do?

Speaker 3 (01:57):
It's the technology can't They can't handle the technology, just
like a young brain can't handle alcohol. So we say
you can't have any alcohol before twenty one years of age,
because then your brain's basically fully developed. You should never
have alcohol before your brain's fully developed. And guess what,

(02:19):
you shouldn't have any drugs before your brain is fully developed.
So when you put these patients, these teenagers, on all
these medications, you're messing up their brain chemistry. Their brains
aren't fully developed. Just because they're depressed as a fourteen

(02:39):
year old doesn't mean they're going to be depressed as
a twenty one year old. Sometimes all the brain needs
is to develop, needs to mature, needs to get some activation.
And after the child gets that activation and the brain
starts connecting, now there's no need for any treatment. But

(03:00):
don't intervene too early, especially with medication. That's very dangerous.
Even if they have add or ADHD and you give
them riddling an adderall that's dangerous. Their brains are developing.
We should need to give children any drugs, and when

(03:22):
they're brain's developing, it's a lot more dangerous for than
an adult brain that's fully developed. Right, So the brain
fully develops typically you know, twenty one, twenty two. It
can keep on going up until twenty five. A female
brain is usually fully developed, that's sixteen. A male brain
usually again twenty one twenty two. So that's why we

(03:45):
can't drink before twenty one. That's when you're really an adult.
But what's confusing is they have all these different rules. So, oh,
you can be sixteen and start driving. Okay, your brain's
not fully devel You're gonna make bad decisions at sixteen
seventeen years old, right, I don't want to be in
the same road as a sixteen year old boy. They

(04:09):
be speeding, going through stop signs, taking chances because they
don't understand the consequences of actions. Their frontal cortex isn't
fully developed. And we have oh, at eighteen you could
start voting. It's like, wait, are we an adult at sixteen?
When we could start driving at eighteen? When we could
start voting at twenty one, when we could start drinking

(04:34):
at twenty five? We could rent a car. I mean, listen,
let's just make it you're an adult at twenty one
for everything. It's very confusing. Nobody should drive to the
twenty one, nobody should vote to the twenty one. Nobody
should drink till their twenty one. Just keep it simple.
That makes you an adult, all right. Nobody should smoke cigarettes,

(04:55):
you know, buy vabes, hook whatever these kids do. You know,
it's bad. You're not making the right decisions when you're younger,
and if your brain's not fully developed, it's a bigger consequence.
And we have May being Mental Awareness Month. Let's do
stuff to get our brain stronger. Let's improve our mental status.

(05:22):
And it starts with the technology. Those cell phones are dangerous.
People are addicted to it. They want that text message
response right away. Well, when you post something on Facebook
or Instagram or TikTok or snapchat, you want somebody to

(05:43):
respond to like it, to comment, you know, you need
that feedback. And when people don't respond, you get depressed.
You get anxious. When they do respond or comment or
like or love ooh, it's like I hit a dope
means like take a line of cocaine or shooting up
heroin or taking a shot at the bar. You're getting

(06:06):
that same hit. It's dopamine. We're always looking for that dopamine.
But do it in a more natural way. Celebrate a
small task. Do a checklist, reward yourself, checklist, little things,

(06:30):
clean my closet. Boom, you get a little dopamine. Hit
clean my trunk of my car. Boom, get a dopamine hit.
Oh I gotta you know, go shopping and order five
things online. Boom, checklist, checkless, checklist, dopamine, dopamine, dopamine. Do

(06:55):
good things, not the technology, not the cell phones, not
social media. What do people post on social media their vacations,
when they're all dressed up for the big gala, when
they get into college, when they get an award. They

(07:15):
always post things that are good. Nobody's posting stuff that's
bad or very rarely people do you know? People don't say,
Oh I lost my job, Oh I'm sick. Oh I
have no friends, Oh I'm a loser, Oh I don't

(07:36):
have any money. You know, nobody posts that, Oh I
got into a fight with my wife. Oh I hate
my boss, Oh I don't like my house. Don't they
don't tell you the bad things, tell you the good things.
So then when other people are looking at it, like, Wow,

(08:00):
this person's got a great house, a great life, hot life,
always on vacasion, so much money, fancy dinners, fancy clothes.
Look at they're all made up, going to these great places,
and then you get depressed. Don't ever compare yourself to
other people. Only compare yourself to you. So you want

(08:23):
to say, hey, can Jane Doe be better than Jane Doe? Right?
Can I be better in May than it was in April?
I'm just gonna compare myself to myself. There's always going
to be people that are stronger than me. And I
go to the gym, I don't want to compare myself
to other people. There's guys that are much stronger than me,

(08:46):
there's girls that are much stronger than me. So I
don't want to compare myself. I want to just say, hey,
can I lift more in May than I did in April?
Can I get stronger? Can I do more reps? Can
I lift heavier weights? Can I run a faster mile?
Whatever it is? Let me improve my workout, let me
make progress. The key to depression is progression. We got

(09:12):
to get rid of this depression. So we have to
make progression. Make progression in your spirituality. Start praying more,
go to church more, follow the Ten Commandments more, read
the Bible or the Tora more. Just make progress. Be
better in May than you were in April. Get better sleep,

(09:36):
go to bed a little bit earlier, Drink more water,
do more exercise, give more to charity, make more money,
read more books. Be nicer to your spouse or your kids.
You just got to make progression. You make progression in

(09:59):
the new book, your writing, or you know, whatever task
you have, make some progression. The key to depression is progression.
The key to anxiety is distraction. You gotta distract yourself.
So you're just feeling anxious. If you're on Facebook and
you're like, oh man, you know, I have this thing

(10:21):
I'm worried about coming up. Okay, turn off the computer,
leave the room, go to the kitchen, drink a glass
of water, leave the house, take a walk, go into
the living room, put on some music, start dancing, Call
an old friend, just do something something you know. I
don't care if it's taking a shower, playing with your dog,

(10:45):
but don't say all right, relax, breathe, calm down. Everything's
gonna be all right now. When you have anxious anxiety,
distraction is the key. Leave the room, give yourself something
else to do. Now, if you're having a panic, you're
having heart palpitations. The neuroscience has showed dipping your head
in a bucket of ice water that's fifty degrees fahrenheit

(11:08):
will actually relax your overactive heart. It's called tachycardia. Your
heartbeat's going fast because you're in panic mode. You're in
stress mode, so we cool you down. Ice water on
your face will bring down your heart rate immediately. But
you gotta do distraction. So the key to depression is progression.

(11:31):
The key to anxiety is distraction, and it starts from unplugging.
No Wi Fi, no five G get off your cellphone,
get off the TV, get off the computer. Live in
the real world, experience real things, go to different places,
meet new people. If you want to have a mood disorder,

(11:51):
all you gotta do is sit at home on your
computer all day long. If you want freedom, and you
want independence and you want your quality of life back,
you've got to get out of the house, get some sunlight,
get some oxygen, eat some healthy food, hang out with friends,
hang out with family members, have social bonds, give to charity.
You have to be in the real world. You've got

(12:13):
to start unplugging. That is the most important thing to
boost your brain power, so then you function banner, feel better,

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Hopelessness that's. Crazy that's the future of our. Country and
it's like half of our kids feel hopeless and sad
and they feel anxious about the. Future what kind of
world are creating for? Them and if we look at,

(14:24):
it this should be the best times of our. Lives
this is the safest it's ever. Been it's the cleanness
it's ever. Been it's the most, abundance most money we've ever.
Had people used to be poor all the. Time they,
Nothing they didn't know when they were gonna have their next.
Meal they didn't know if they were just gonna die

(14:46):
from some crazy disease from dirty. Water people barely. Live
now everyone's, living you, know eighty ninety hundred years. Old
we're in the safest time in the history of. Mankind
there's been constant wars. Forever and when's the last kind

(15:10):
of war that we, had you know In? America, yeah
we had nine to. Eleven it was twenty four years.
Ago that was a long time ago before. That Yet Pearl,
Harbor World war. Two we live in a very safe.

(15:32):
Place you don't live In, ukraine you don't live In.
Israel you got food in your, refrigerator you gotta roof
up over your, head you can lock your door at,
night you got clothes on your. Back why we're not
living on a time where you know gangsters are gonna kill,

(15:53):
you not like the gangs In New. York it's not
that scary. Now so why is everyone? Depressed why is everyone?
Anxious and what's the real reason they put us in fear?
Mode everything is fear. Mode they want to scare. You

(16:16):
what's on the news fear? Mode. Scary we're all gonna.
Die there's fires and hurricanes and earthquakes and, tornadoes and
then there's. Murders there's, violence there's, disease there's, death there's.
RACISM i, mean everything is to scare. You it's not to, say,

(16:38):
hey life is. Good who's telling you life's? Good every?
Morning you should wake up and thank. God you could,
see you can, hear you could, talk you can, walk
you could, pee you could, poop you could, breathe your.
Heartbeats do you Thank god every morning for? That if

(17:02):
you lost, it you, Would but since you, don't it's
not on your. Mindset Thank god for your spouse or your,
kids or your, friends or your, neighbors or your, family
or your, workers your, supporters your, employees your, coworkers your you, know,

(17:22):
students your you, know whatever you're, around be thankful for,
them even if it's not even a. Human be thankful
for your, dog or be thankful that the birds that
chirp in the, morning and be thankful for the sun
that shines on your, skin and be thankful for the
air that you could, breathe and the water you could,

(17:44):
drink and the food that you can. Eat you gotta be.
Thankful you can't be grateful and thankful and have anxiety
at the same. Time life is, good, Right so we
have to understand that we don't need to take a
medication every time he gets. Sad you, KNOW i had
a my wife lost her, father and it's like the doctor, goes,

(18:10):
oh take. Antidepressants, now you're supposed to be sad when
you lose your. Father you're supposed to, Cry you're supposed
to be. Emotional you don't want to suppress those. Feelings
you don't want to shut off your, brain because that's
what antidepressants. Do they shut your brain off and become a.

(18:32):
Zombie so maybe you're not as, sad maybe you don't
have as much. Hopelessness but guess, what maybe now you've
lost some. Joy maybe you've lost some, happiness maybe you've
lost some, energy maybe you've lost some passion for. Life

(18:56):
because it shuts off. EVERYTHING i don't want to take
a drug that shuts off. Everything but if we have
a strategy that says my area in my frontal cortex
is underactive and that's causing, depression MAYBE i can strengthen.

(19:18):
That so there is a process called, neuroplasticity and what
neuroplasticity is is you could rewire your. Brain so if
you have, depression the key is. Progression in addition to making,
progression we want to focus on the specific areas of

(19:41):
the brain that aren't functioning at optimal. Levels and for,
depression it could be your frontal, cortex or it could
be your. Cerebellum maybe you have a thyroid, problem maybe
you have a leaky, gut maybe you have lime, disease

(20:01):
heavy metal, POISONING covid nineteen can cause. Depression all of
these things can cause, depression traumatic brain, Injury. Parkinson's so
we got to figure out where's the. Problem is the
front door that's our bello on the basal. Ganglia we don't,
know could be the autonomic nervous, system because not all

(20:22):
depression patients are the. Same so we've got to do
a full, evaluation determine which air the brain is functioning
well or there might be. Anxiety the brain's overactive and
that creates more, anger, aggression panic, minds, racing can't, sleep,
INSOMNIA i had heart, palpitations respiratory. Problems if that's the,

(20:49):
case we got to calm the brain. Down it might
be the right, side it might be the left. Side
how can you calm the brain? Down maybe, ice ice
calm you, Down maybe some, drawing some infinities with your,
Arm maybe rubbing a triggers part of your. Ear there's
lots of ways to common overactive nervous. System, now the

(21:12):
neuroscience has been done for the past decades and now
we got thousands of. Things we have thousands of neurologic
exercise that could stimulate the brain to help with depression
in a natural way without any, medication, drugs supplements that
have side effects or, risk or we could come up
with exercise to relax the overactive brain if you have.

(21:32):
Anxiety the neuroscience is, there we just got to read
it and utilize. It but the first step is to
figure out which areas are overactive and which areas are.
Underactive the number one best test to determine this is
called A vng or A. Vog THIS vng is the

(21:56):
cool test because there's no. Radiation you don't have to
lie down in some small, tube there's no, risk you,
know to take some contrast. Fluid we get the results right.
Away we don't need a pathologist or you, know AN
x ray technician or a radiologist to determine what's. Wrong

(22:19):
we literally do the tests and we get the answer right.
Away very cool. Technology what it is is you wear
these goggles and they got cameras in them with infrared
sensors and they measure high, movements the, speed how fast it,
goes the reaction, time the. Accuracy we measure when it
goes fast and slow and left and right and up

(22:39):
and down and then light and the, dark and when
focused and without, focus and when head movements and still
so all these different, tests lots of different, tests and
based on the, test we can determine which lobe of
the brain's not working, well which airs the brain are.
OVERWORKING i love this. Test it's normally six hundred, dollars

(23:01):
but for the first seven people to, call text or,
email you could get this test for only twenty one.
Dollars and the reason we're doing this it's more of

we want to actually stimulate our, brains but in a natural,

(26:16):
way without you, know giving, drugs, medication electrical shock. Therapy you,
know we don't want to use all these crazy equipments
and magnets and injections and ivs and all these interventions
and you know stuff when you talk about all your

(26:37):
past history and try and unleash these emotions that have
been built up inside of. You you, know there's all these,
strategies but our country keeps getting more, anxious more, depressed
and more. Medications so the strategies that we've been doing
have not been, working or else our numbers would be getting,
better but they keep getting. Worse and even the last

(26:58):
few years they're worse than. Ever with all the, technology
all the, knowledge all the, neuroscience and the problem is
we're complicating it too. Much we just got to make it.
Simple the neuroscience has, Proved, hey we want, dopamine we
got to do completing a, task a little checklist that

(27:18):
will release dopamine better than a. Drug you want to do,
dopamine you have to do self care activities when you
look in the mirror and you're, like, OH i, look
my hair looks, nice my face is, good my makeup's,
GOOD i shave, good my clothes are. Good you, Know

(27:38):
i'm working out the. Gym you, KNOW i lost the.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Way you.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Know you, know whenever you're looking, good you dress, up
you look in the, her you get that release of.
Dopamine all, Right someone who's all, depressed they don't, shave
they don't brush their, teeth they don't, shower they don't,
leave they don't brush their, hair they don't you, know
wash that's a. Problem you need self care activities to release.

(28:05):
Dopamine that's the reward. Chemical eating, food that's, simple. Right
you could do, drugs you could, drink or you can eat,
food which is the. Healthiest eat healthy, food and the
more colorful your food, is the more dopamine you. Get
fill your plate with, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple

(28:28):
all the colors of the. Rainbow fill your plate up
all different fruits and. Veggies you're gonna get that dopamine.
Hit and then celebrate the small. Winds you, know any
little task that you've. Done, oh you, KNOW i got
to compliment by one of my co. Workers that's a small.

(28:50):
Win you, know one of my clients thank to me
for the hard work That i've. Done that's a small. Win,
hey my, KIDS i love. You you're the best dad.
Ever that's a. Win you. Know just coming home and
your wife, saying, oh so good to see, you that's a.

(29:11):
Win making your bed in the morning is a. Win
getting up when you set your alarm is a. Win
going for that walk after dinner is a. Win celebrate
your small. Wins get that reward, chemical get that dopamine.
Going all, right, now let's just about. Serotonin that's the mood.

(29:36):
Stabilizer patients always ask me WHY i have bananas in my,
offices because it's increasing, serotonin the mood. STABILIZER i want
people in a good. Mood meditating helps with. Serotonin and
if you can't meditate for a half, hour do thirty.
Seconds you don't need to do thirty. Minutes you could

(29:57):
literally do thirty. SECONDS i do what's the relaxed, technique
AND i just say, relax AND i start from the
top of my head AND i relax all the. Muscles
THEN i relax the muscles on my. FOREHEAD i relax
the muscles in my, temple, relax my, eyes, relax my, jaw,
relax my, mouth my, chin my, neck my, shoulders my,

(30:22):
back my, hips my, knees my, toes from top to.
BOTTOM i just pick thirty spots AND i relax each,
spot and you'll, Feel, oh your shoulders get, relieved and
your jaw relax and your head, relax so you'll actually
feel it. Relax all, Right so at thirty second meditation
good enough to release, serotonin the mood. Stabilizer every single

(30:45):
day running running helps with. Serotonin go outside and, run
get your heart, beating get a little. SWEAT i LIKE
hit high intensity interval. Training so what that means is
you sprint fifty yards one hundred, yards then you walk

(31:06):
one hundred, yards then you sprint fifty, yards then you
walk one hundred, yards then you sprint fifty, yards then
you walk on hundred. Yards THAT'S hit high intensity interval.
Training you're going really intense for a short amount of,
time then you're doing it more, relaxed really intense. MORALAX
i like that better than just. Jogging but serotonin gets

(31:27):
released when. Running that's why they call that the runners.
High it's, like, wow my brain is better than doing
cocaine or howarn's just going for a. Run sun. Exposure
serotonin loves the. Sun get. Outside people stay inside too
much sententary. Lifestyle everything's on the, computer everything's. Delivered you

(31:50):
don't need to go outside to the. Shop you don't
have to go outside to your, mailbox you don't have
to go outside to your. Errands nobody's to go outside.
Anymore everything's can come right to. You amazon comes right to,
You Uber eats comes right to your, emails your text.
Messages everything comes right to you. Inside and when you're

(32:11):
not getting, sun you're not getting VITAMIN. D when you're
not getting VITAMIN, d your thyroid doesn't, work your brain doesn't,
work your immune system doesn't. Work VITAMIN d is the
most important hormone and we get it from the. Sunlight
so when you get, outside take off your glasses so
that the sun can hit your. Eyes take off your,

(32:33):
hat roll up your, sleeves roll up your pant. Legs
the more skin exposure the. Better and if you have contact,
lenses you got to take them out because then the
sun's not going through your. Pupil it's not just sunglasses
that buys any glasses or contact, lenses so we got
to get rid of, those all. Right we got to
get good sun. Exposure the best time is ten minutes

(32:56):
during sunrise so you can stimulate your, cortisol your, testostere
your energy ready for the. Day then you also do
another ten minutes during lounge from twelve to two when
the sun's strung, us so you get the most VITAMIN,
d the most. Power and then also during sunset to ten,
minutes your brain says, okay time to, relax time to chill,
out increase, melotonin decrease, cortisol relax the, brain get good,

(33:19):
rest so you can re energize when you. Sleep you
can detox when you go to. Sleep you can absorb
all your nutrients when you go to. Sleep you can
get rid of the bad stuff when you go to.
Sleep so getting good rest is vital for your. Health all.
Right now we're talking about walking in. Nature start doing

(33:40):
some more, Hiking start going on on some. Trails the
more you walk in, nature and if you, can if
it's safe, enough take off your, shoes get your feet
in the grass and the dirt and the. Sand it's
called grounding or. Earthing it will literally release. Serotonin be

(34:00):
a tree, hugger touch that. Earth it always feels. Good
right when you put your feet in the. Sand do
it in the, grass do it in the. Dirt not
just when you're on. Vacation we need to be connected
to the, earth, Right so you gotta get the sun

(34:21):
from the top and then get the earth from the.
Bottom that gives you, power that gives you. Serotonin swimming
will actually increase. Serotonin get in that, water get in the,
ocean getting the, pool getting the hot. TUB i don't
care what it, is but do some. Swimming it's one

(34:45):
of the best sports you could. Do you, know the
top sports to do for your brain and your body
are racket sports like, tennis, badminton, pickleball, squash even ping.
Pong also good as, boxing as long as you're not
competitive boxing we again hit in the, head but boxing

(35:06):
drills very good for your. Brain rowing really good for your,
body for every aspect from your, neck, shoulders your, back your,
legs your, arms. Everything swimming great sport covers. Everything soccer.
Amazing you go up and down and left and right

(35:27):
and fast and. Slow AND i will say the last
thing that's really good is, dancing all. Right so those
are the top sports activities that you want to do
to keep your body. Moving and then another good release

(35:48):
for the serotonin is. Cycling, Right so if you could
get bike riding when you're in the sun in, nature,
right then you're getting a lot of, seroton. Right so
serotonin is the mood. Stabilizer you can also get it from,
bananas and then you can also get it from lavender.

(36:11):
Oil if you have a central oils get a, diffuser
put some lavender oil in. There smells very good for the.
Brain if you have depression, anxiety smell goes directly into
that frontal. Cortex it's the only sense that goes directly
into the. Brain most of the senses they'll, go you,
know do this part of the brain called the thalmas.
Swip it's touch or, taste or light or. Sound all

(36:34):
the four senses go through this. Thalmins but smell goes
directly to the, brain and smells the first thing to
go with degenerative disorders such As alzheimer's Or parkinson's. Dementia
so when you lose your, smell it's gonna make you
more likely to Get alzheimer's Or parkinson's in the, future
and it might take. Decades it's not always right, away
but you, know do a little check check if you

(36:54):
have peanut. Butter that's a good smell, test you, know
kind of put it far away from your nose and
see if you gets still smell mallet that's the smell.
Test but for, serotonin you want to smell. Lavender that's the.
Best for, food you want to eat. Bananas for, exercise
running and, cycling make sure we get outside to get the.

(37:15):
Sunlight then do some meditation as. Well so those are

want to have a good. Mental health one way to
do that is to. Incre oxytocin oxytocin is the. Love
hormone playing with a dog will actually increase. Your oxytocin

(39:10):
do you? Know what dog has thirty five times as
much oxytocin as. A human that's why they always want,
to cuddle they always want, To lick they always want.
To love they always want to be. Around you they
want to be so close. To you they love you all.
The time we got to be more like the dogs
and give. That, love NOW when, COVID happened i remember

(39:36):
my kid came home one day and, he. Goes daddie
they won't even let us play tag at school because there, was,
like oh the six, Feet rule so you couldn't, play
tag couldn't share, your toys couldn't sit near, your friends
couldn't share the same, you know crans and the, same
desks and, you know it. WAS horrible i can't believe
they put these kids through. That torture and no wonder

(39:58):
why everyone's depressed. And anxious that are, you know twelve,
years old thirteen. Years old look at the last five
years that they've had. To experience we've created. THIS epidemic
covid wasn't. The epidemic it's the mental health that's the.
True epidemic that's the, scary part that's your. Whole life

(40:24):
most PEOPLE. Got covid it wasn't a. Big deal do
you know that the average person of the age that
DIED from covid was, seventy eight which is the same
exact average age of a normal person. That dies they
just sped up. The process when kids did not DIE.

(40:46):
FROM covid i think in the whole State Of, new
jersey maybe one kid died and that kid already had
like cancer or something. Like that like. Nobody died why
did we do all these rules for these kids and
ruined their? Mental health we should have been focusing on,
the homes the senior, sinner centers, our grandparents the people that,
were dying the older people that were sick, and compromise

(41:07):
not the. Younger people why do we suffer? For them didn't.
Make sense there was no, logic used and now we're suffering.
The consequences so now we've got to step. It up
get your kid, a dog increase the oxytocin playing with.
A baby, my god WE had mri in. The brain
were so released of this oxytocin babies make us feel

(41:31):
so good. Holding hands let's get back to. Holding hands
there are, loved ones, our friends our. Family members just by,
holding hands it, releases oxytocin the. Love hormone start, holding
hands hugging, your family hugging for a, long time not

(41:59):
just a, little hug a. Nice KISS when i kiss
my wife goodbye, every day we do, six seconds not just,
a peck but a six. Second kiss because after, six
seconds now. Oxytocin's released after six seconds of, a hug.
Oxytocin's released not just a little. Quick hug you gotta.

(42:23):

laughter laughter is the. Best medicine so stop watching STUFF

(43:53):

and gory and, you. Know thriller start watching stuff. That's

says OH do i have a chemical imbalance in my
BRAIN if i don't have. Enough, serotonin now we don't.

(45:42):
Know that you can check serotonin in, the stomach but
they don't have good tests for serotonin, the, brain, dopamine oxytocin.

neurological test that could discover how the. Brain's functioning the
best test is CALLED a qEEG, brain mapping and it
literally measures all your brain brain waves and there's, no
radiation there's, no risk there's no, contrast fluid there's no,

brain are functioning well and which. Are not do you, have,
depression anxiety troubles with, memory focus you, have? Dizzyness headaches

metal poisoning if you've been exposed to. A pathology do
you have, low acetylcholine. Low dopamine it literally tells us
USING this qEEG. Brain mapping it'll even tell us about.
