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. A lot of people right now are
suffering from anxiety, and they're really stressed out, and their

(00:37):
mind races a million miles per and patients are always
asking me, what can I do when I get anxious
or my kid gets anxious. So we see a lot
of parents with teenagers that are worried about their kids,
always getting so angry and yelling at them and cat
panic attacks and stress that you know, there's even suicidal thoughts,

(00:59):
and there's kids on all these medications, and it's been
worse the past couple of years. There's been more stress,
more anxiety, more depression, more medication in teenagers than ever before.
So how do we as parents handle these teenagers. Well,
the first thing we have to accept is that the

(01:19):
teenagers aren't going to listen to you as a parent. Yeah,
that's right. It's like you want to give them all
this advice. They're not gonna listen to you. And don't
think you have all this power. They think they know
more than you. So you have to go into their world.
And I tell a lot of this to my patients

(01:40):
and it works very well. So if you have a
child that is mad at you all the time, it's angry,
it's in a bad mood, stop telling them what to do,
tell stop telling them. Calm down, just relax, just breathe,
it's gonna be okay, get over it. They don't want
to hear that. They want to be hurt. So if

(02:03):
they're complaining about, you know, oh what some kids said
to them in school, and you say, oh, don't worry
about it, like, just get over it. Who cares about
what that kid thinks? You'd be a good person. We
know you're good. No, they don't want to hear that.
If they say, oh, man, this kid made fun of
me and called me fat or whatever, then you go,

(02:24):
oh man, that sucks that this kid called you fat.
That must make you feel really bad. That sucks. I
feel really bad for you, and then you just say
you just tell them what happened. Just repeat what they said. Oh,
I uh forgot my homework at home and then the
teacher failed me, uh for my grade and she wouldn't

(02:47):
let me bring it in tomorrow. And you say, oh see,
I told you always check your bag before you go
to school. Nope, don't say that. Oh see, this is
what happens if you don't study. Nope, don't say that.
You just say, oh, man, that's you forgot your work
and the teacher gave you a bad grade. That's horrible.
Now you now you gotta try and make up for

(03:07):
it for your next one. Now that sucks. You just
repeat back what they said. You don't tell them what
to do. You don't tell them why they messed up.
You don't tell them what's wrong. You don't give them advice.
You just repeat what they said. Ah, that sucks. Your
grades now gone down, not up. See that's what happens
when you don't study. That's what happens when you don't

(03:29):
write things down in your book. Don't say that. Don't
give them advice. They're not gonna listen to you. They're
gonna listen to their friends. But they won't listen to you.
And who loves them more? You do? Who cares about
them more? You do? What do they think? They think
that mom and dad know nothing. So let's just listen

(03:51):
to our friends instead. Now, years later, you know, when
they're in their late twenties, they'll probably start listening to
you again. But no, now, so don't father trying just
repeat back what they say. Oh, I asked this girl
out and she said no. Don't say all there's plenty
of fish in the sea. Oh, she doesn't know what

(04:13):
she's missing. Oh she wasn't that good for you? No,
don't say any of that. Don't try to console them,
don't try to advise them. Oh it's okay. It just
says out the next girl and she'll say, I sid Nope,
don't say any of that. All you say, oh man,
you must be really sad that she said no. I
know you really wanted to go out with her. Oh man,

(04:34):
that sucks. And then you could say, oh, I remember
when I was fourteen and I asked out the girl
and then she said no. I remember how bad I felt. Right,
if you're not advising them, you're not telling them what
to do. You're not telling them it's gonna be okay.
All you're doing is repeating what they say. And this
works with teenagers, and this works with your spouse, and

(04:57):
this works with your employees, and this with your friends,
it works with everybody. Most people, they just want to
be heard. They don't want the solution. They just want
you to know that they're heard. And the reason they'll
know that you're listening to them is that you're going
to repeat it exactly how they told you, and that

(05:21):
way they know that you hear them. Right. So the
key to get people in your life, including yourself, not
to be anxious, not to be stressed, not to be
angry after good conversations is just to repeat back what
they say. It works. Wonder is it'll change your life.

(05:45):
And then let's say you do want to give advice.
The best way to give advice is to let them
to realize let them take your advice, but let them
figure it out. So you say, the best line for
that is you say, how'd that work out for you?
All right? So you know, uh, oh, I've been wanting

(06:08):
getting a raise for the past six months. Let's say
your wife says something to you and you know, I'm
just gonna, you know, come early, stay late. I'm gonna
you know, prioritize my work and X, Y and z
and still no race. Still no race. So instead of saying, hey,
why don't you go ask the boss for a raise,

(06:31):
letting them what to do, you just say, oh, so
what have you been doing to get the race? Oh?
I've been coming in early. How'd that work out for you? I?
Still having got the race? Oh, I've been staying late?
How'd that work out for you? Still having out the race?
Oh I've been you know, logging all my hours and
sending it to them on time. How'd that work out
for you? Still having got the race? All right? So

(06:52):
what you've been doing? Still hasing a? Is there something
else you could do? Well? Maybe I could ask the boss.
Oh that's a great idea, you know. So they're coming
up with the solution, right and your way to advise, Oh,
how did that work out for you? What else do
you think you could do? Like? So you just talk,

(07:12):
you ask them and you just listen to them. So
they got to figure it out. You know. I'm a professor.
I teach neurology, anatomy, physiology, pathology. I love to teach
but I ask the students' questions. I don't tell them
what the answer is. I ask them what they think

(07:35):
it is. Let them figure it out, because when they
figure it out, then it lasts in their brain. If
I just tell them, they're not gonna remember when you
figure it out on your own, you remember it when
someone tells you you don't. So with everything in life, right,
you know you have to figure it out on your own.

(07:56):
That way it lasts. Don't depend on other people both
to do it for you. Okay, So with anxiety, stop
trying to tell people to calm down. It's the worst
thing you could tell someone who's having a panic attack, anxiety,

(08:16):
stressed up. Just say, oh, just calm down, it's gonna
be okay, relax. What are you so worked up at? No,
that doesn't work. In fact, it usually makes people more anxious.
So never tell people to calm down. Never say, oh,
what's the big deal? Stop overreacting, just relax. Nobody wants

(08:37):
to hear it. I'll just calm down. That makes people worse.
So don't tell people to calm down. You find out
what's wrong, why they so worked up? Oh I just
got fired from the job. Oh man, that sucks you

(08:57):
got fired. Don't say, oh, don't worry, there's plenty jobs
out there. Don't say, oh, you've got a great resume.
Someone will hire you soon. Don't say oh, that job
wasn't right for you anyway, don't say any of that stuff.
They don't want to hear that. What they want to

(09:19):
hear is just that you hear them. Ah, man, that sucks,
you got fired. I can understand why. You know you're
stressed out, And then I say, oh, man, that's horrible.
I can't believe he fired you. You were such a
good worker. How could he do that? Right, So, don't

(09:41):
say what to do next. Don't say, Okay, you got
to take an action, get your resume out there. You'll
get a job. Don't worry about it. That job wasn't
good for you. Don't say any of that. You just say, oh, man,
I can't believe you got fired. That sucks. You Just
empathize with people. Just want to make sure they hear you. Right.

(10:02):
If they don't hear you, or if you don't hear them,
they're not going to talk to you, and that'll reduce
their anxiety if you just repeat what they say and
have some empathy oh man, that sucks. Right, no advice.
You just say exactly what they said back to you. Right,

(10:25):
that works, wonders. Now, the most important thing if you
experience anxiety yourself is distraction. Right, So, if you have anxiety,
don't try and talk yourself out of it. Distract yourself
out of it. So let's say you are on the computer.

(10:49):
You got an email. Oh no, the person said something
bad to you. Now you start rubinating on it and
you can all stress. You start panicking, your heart starts beating, sweating,
It's like, I can't believe this person said that. Okay,
what you do is distraction. Leave the room, shut off
the computer, Go outside for a walk, Go outside and

(11:15):
play with the dog, Go for a bike ride, go
for a hike, go play some basketball, some pick a ball, like,
do something distracting. I don't care if you just go
to the kitchen and get a glass of water, you know,
go to the living room and turn on some music

(11:39):
you know, or go on the phone and call an
old friend, you know. Just distract yourself. Go get your
kid to play Uno with, you know, just do something
to distract yourself. So the key for anxiety is to

(11:59):
change the scenery. Change the room and do a distraction
to get your mind off the problem. Therefore you'll function better,
feel better and lived a better life. This is doctor
Eric Caplan and you are listening to boost your brain power.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
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

(12:42):
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

(13:05):
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 (13:16):
Function better feel better and live a better This is
doctor Eric Kavlin, and you're listening to boost your brain power.
The key to anxiety is distraction. Leave the room, leave

(13:36):
the conversation, walk away from the problem. Try not to
talk yourself down. You're too emotional at that point. If
you're having a panic back if you're having anxiety, start worrying,
negative rumination, the minds raising hearts, beaten starts sweating, shortness

(13:56):
of breath. You have to get your mind off the
problem and distract yourself. Read a book, play a game,
leave the room, start cooking a meal, Go downstairs to
the gym and do some exercise. Punch the punching bag,

(14:18):
do some gardening, some grounding, you know, go outside with
the dog and take them for a walk. I mean,
I don't care what it is, but distract itself. Get
your mind off the anxiety. And if you can help
somebody else. Oh, my gighbor was building the chicken coop.

(14:38):
Let me go over and see if they need any help.
You know few other people that will reduce your stress.
That's the quickest way to reduce your anxieties. To start
helping somebody else. Then your mind prioritizes their problems and
forgets about your problems. That's why the key to anxiety

(14:59):
is distrac do something else, get your mind focused on
another project. The worst thing for the brain is to
ruminate over it. That creates more anxiety, more stress, more cortisol.
It's the opposite of what we want to do. We

(15:21):
want to reduce our stress, reduce anxiety, reduce cortisol. And
there's a few active neurologic exercises you could do that
will relax your brain and get you out of that
stress mode, out of that fight or flight mode, into
a more relaxed rest than digest. So one easy way

(15:41):
to cool yourself down is to splash yourself with cold water. Right, so,
you're getting anxiety, you're getting paddick. Go to the bathroom,
splash your face with cold water. You will immediately feel better.
Now we want the water to be fifty to grease fair. Hey,

(16:01):
that's pretty cold, so you might have to get a bucket,
put some ice water in it, and then dip your
head to dip your face in the bucket of ice water.
That's very good for stress, for anxiety, like cortisol levels, insomnia,
sleep deprivation ADHD. Cold water helps so every morning you

(16:22):
wake up. Splash your face with cold water at the
end of your shower every day, and with cold water
right before bed you brush your teeth. Splash your face
with cold water at least one time a day. Get
a bucket of ice water and dip your face in
after thirty seconds. That will reduce anxiety. That will reduce
stress levels. Cold water much better than a xanax, much

(16:49):
better than an anti anxiety pick, much better than a
riddle in, much better than out of all. This is
what most people are on all these medications. Let's think
outside the box. Let's start working on what's called neuroplasticity.
With neuroplastically you walk and you actually get your brain

(17:13):
out of that stress mode what we call the fight
or flight, into a relaxed rest and digestate. That's for
your vagus nerve. Your vagus nerve get you more calm
and more relaxed. A way you could think the vagus
nerve is gargling, gargle really intensely thirty seconds, three times

(17:38):
a day that it'll directly activate the vagus nerve. Another
way is the gag reflex. Now, don't do it if
you have a history of bolima anorexia or any eating disorder,
because we don't want to trigger anything like that. But
if there's no history of eating disorder, you could take

(17:58):
a tongue depressor or take a toothbrush and actually create
your own gag reflex where you get like but it's powerful,
so you don't have to do that much. So gargling
activates the vegas nerve. The gag reflex activates the vegas
nerve swallowing, So you just get a bunch of alive

(18:21):
on your tongue and do one big swallow, very good
for the vegas nerve. Different noises like the back of
your throat or with your lips when you roll your
rs with your tongue, different animal noises. This, you know,

(18:43):
anything like that is gonna help with what's called your
parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system gets you in
a more relaxed state. So what we mean is if
you actually do the gag reflex, you gargle, you do
the cold water, you're actually ray being your brain in
a direction. It's in a more relaxed state. Even though

(19:06):
we're strengthening the brain, it's get you in a more
relaxed state because most of the brain's job is tax
and come down and chill out, and it's not meant
to overwork, it's not meant to stimulate. It's meant to
shut everything off. But you have to shut it off
now to prevent anxiety, to work, to prevent fear, to

(19:30):
prevent anger, to prevent aggression. These all come from this
disc autonomia or the imbalance of the sympathetic nervous system
at the para sympathetic nervous system. All right, So these
nervous systems need to be in homeopaesis for us to
not an anxiety, not any depression, have good energy, good focus,

(19:55):
but you have to get this vagus nerve in order.
In our offices in New York, New Jersey, we also
do some cold laser therapy that helps to regenerate the neurons. Now,
vise goes everywhere. It goes from like basically the top
of your neck, but it goes hard and the los

(20:16):
in your gut. So it's pretty long, and even if
it's damaged, it can regrow nerves regenerate one millimeter a day,
So if you do the math, that's three centimeters a month.
And the vegas, nerves gotta go all the way down,
so it's gonna take you know, months and months and

(20:37):
years and years to repair. The cold laser helps to
repair that brain. Exercises that we do in the office
helps to repair. And then the homework that you do,
such as the gargling, the gag the cold water, So
those exercises are going to help relax the nervous system.

(21:00):
Another exercise that helps to relax the nervous system is
the tragus, which is this little floppy part of your ear,
kind of like where you would put your headphones in.
That little hole in the front is that little flap.
That's the tragus. And I've had patients pierce that to
reduce the anxiety and it works very well. So that

(21:24):
tragus stimulation has been proven through neuroscience to reduce stress
and get relaxed state. Now, the best breathing exercise to
get you in a relaxed state is to inhale for
four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds, and exhal
for eight seconds. Inhale for four seconds, hold your breath

(21:48):
for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds. That is
priority to get you more energized, to get you more focus,
because when you're in stress mode, then your brain doesn't
get the blood of oxygen it needs. It's why people

(22:09):
are in stress mode. Their memory gets worse, they're more
gonna get Parkinson's, you know. So we're gonna reduce our
stress levels, the stress levels of the silent killer. So
number one cause of stress is anxiety, so they gotta
distract yourself, leave the room. Number two causes stress is
the biggest nerve. And now you get your biggest nerve
exercise that you're gonna do every day thirty seconds, three

(22:32):
times a day. That helps to calm your nervous system down.
And another easy, simple activity you can do to calm
your nervous system is to draw figure eight infinities with
your arm for thirty seconds, three times a day. That
gets your cerebellum going, which has been proven through neuroscience

(22:55):
to reduce stress and anxiety. And they've been doing that
exercise in each during cultures for years and years and
years in China and India and Japan. That infinity symbol,
that little figure eight is a powerful therapy. It's a
powerful symbol. And now we have the Western neuroscience has

(23:18):
done research to back that up. But the infinities have
been around for a while, and now we use them
to just function at a higher level. Because if you're
in stress mode, not only are you gonna get more anxiety,
but it canna affect your sleep. It's gonna affect your
blood pressure is gonna get high. It's gonna affect your digestion,

(23:38):
You're gonna have a good bowel Movement's gonna affect your energy.
You're gonna be fatigued. It's gonna affect your thyroid, your
hormones are gonna be off. So just by one little
stress or anxiety, everything else can shut down and not
work at outimal levels. So I don't care if you
have cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, parkins, and tremors. Tonight

(24:00):
it is stress will make everything worse, all right. So
if we don't want stress to take a toll on
your body so that you can't continue to help other people.
So what we want to do is prioritize our own health.
So my wife, you know, I try and teach her

(24:21):
always take care of ourselves first, and then you could
take care of the kids. So you got to prioritize
your health first, just like on the airplane. You put
your mask on first. Now you got to do your
health aspects first. Therefore you'll function better, feel better, and
live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan and

Information so the key to.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Anxiety is. Distraction the key to depression is. Progression so
you need to. Progress you need to make progress in
any aspect of your. Life, yeah it could be just
at the jam lifting a heavier, weight or it could
be outside running where you run an extra. Lap or

(26:06):
it could be from work where you get a, raise
or it could be finances where you're building your accounts
making more. Money or it could be school where you
get into you, know medical school or law. School or
it could be charity or you're helping more. People like

(26:29):
you just make progress in your relationships with your spouse or,
siblings in your home, life in your way you connect
with your family members or loved ones you're, social like
going out more, frequent your, vacations taking more, vacations you,

(26:52):
know getting, healthier drinking more, water eating more fruits and.
VEGGIES i, mean there's so many ways to make, progress
whether it's, spiritualityity, relationships, health, BUSINESS i don't care what it,
is but you gotta make progress because if you're just
doing the same thing every, week of course you're gonna get.

(27:14):
Depressed or even if you do worse every, week then
of course you're gonna get. Depressed so you're gonna get.
Better you got to improve your, function and you could do,
it but it just takes. Work. Right So i'm not
the type of doctor that gives you. Antidepressant you, KNOW
i don't give you anti anxiety, pills BUT i teach

(27:36):
you how to help, yourself so you don't need anti
depressed since you don't need to take lipium abilify, sooft
you don't have to take those. Medications sometimes the medications
are actually worse than the. Condition any ever read those

(28:00):
antidepressants or the anti anxiety, says, oh may cause violent.
Tendencies did not operate large machinery may cause suicidal, thoughts,
right or anything about, medicine so you don't think about.
Suicide that's a little, scary. Right sometimes the cure is

(28:21):
worse than the. Condition so you have to do and, Say,
OKAY i want to get rid of my depression on my,
own SO i don't need. Medication and you could do.
It but you got to make progress progress in a.
Project maybe you're writing a, book or maybe you're trying
some social media page that you. Know progress could be

(28:44):
just getting you, know more. Followers that's progress progress in your.
Work maybe you get check your mail or go through
emails or respond to your text, messages whatever it, is
make some, progress check off your task. List that gets
your dopamine. Going it gives you that little brain boost

(29:07):
that you need get you into that. Depression you, know
break your record and how fast you run the. Mile make.
Progression when you make, progression then your brain functions at
a higher. Level so you got to make progression every

(29:29):
day in your. Life, now just like with, anxiety we
want to relax the. Brain with, depression we want to
stimulate the. Brain so one exercise you could do to
stimulate the. Brain you can try this at. Home take
your left leg and draw clockwise circles and continue to
do that without. Stopping at the same, time take your

(29:51):
left hand and draw the number. Six, yeah it's very,
difficult but that gets your brain, stronger just like you
could go to the gym and do weights to get.
Stronger people come to my offices In New, Jersey New.
York we also have virtual visits and we do these

(30:11):
brain exercises to get rid of your. Depression you can
actually reverse. Depression. Now nutritional, wise you got to make
sure you get a lot of. Fat, olives, avocado, walnuts flax,
seeds geese, seeds, fish coconut. Oil these are all natural

(30:35):
ways where you're going to improve your brain function because
you're getting more. Fat, Right so we got. Depression we
need to increase. Fat we got, Depression you need to
increase VITAMIN. D the neuroscience has shown VITAMIN d is
actually more effective and healing depression than. Antidepressants and you

(30:56):
know where we get VITAMIN d from the. Sun you
want to, depress go, Outside go in the. Sun why
do you think everyone feels better on the beach with
their feet in the sand and the salt water air
and the oxygen and then the. Sunlight, Right so you
need VITAMIN. D and if you don't get enough, sunlight
you have to. Supplement but don't get to some random

(31:18):
supplement From Whole foods OR cvs or the vinaim and.
Chop the only VITAMIN dii is From Apex. Energetics it's
ULTRA d five. Thousand and the REASON i like that
is because the, formulation so all these fat valuable vitamins
they work. Together so it's A, D, e AND. K

(31:41):
they all need to work. Together SO i get them
to all work, together then the gut's gonna function at
a higher. Level the other REASON i like THE d
is not only do you have THE ade AND, k
but it's also in fat to get. Absorbed it's also
got some other positive benefits like hydrochloric ass save et.

(32:01):
Cetera but the key is to make sure that we
reduce our depression by increasing our VITAMIN. D and you
can get that with The ULTRA d five thousand through Apex.
Energetics no, that just call my office and we can
order it for you and take care of. It, okay all.

(32:23):
Right so the other thing for depression is not having
a sedentary. Lifestyle, Right so when you have, depression we
need more blood, flow more, oxygen more. Circulation so the
worst thing is. Sitting sitting is the new. Smoking so
we got to do is follow the twenty. Rule every twenty,
minutes you get up and move your body for twenty

(32:44):
seconds and look twenty feet. Away and it might be twenty,
steps or it might be twenty sitting to, standing or
twenty shoulder rolls or twenty pumping, jacks twenty, squats twenty push,
ups twenty sit. UPS i don't care what it, is
but you're gonna move your body for twenty seconds every twenty.
Minutes that's the twenty. Rule you want to avoid, depression

(33:08):
you gotta keep that body, moving all. Right you move
it or you lose. It so you're going to keep
that body super super, active super, healthy lots of, movement,
right so you KNOW i don't like the brain. Exercise,
oh let me just sit at the kitchen table to
a crossword puzzle because there's not. Movement now what has?

(33:31):
MOVEMENT a dance, class, right so you could learn the,
steps you could be, social get the, oxytocin, right you
get the once you learn the small, steps you get
that dopamine hit and then as you're touching your loved,
one you're getting that. Serotonin so take a dance lesson

(33:52):
that like and if you can take it, outside even.
Better but it works on everything the brain and the
body there all, Right so that helps to get you
out of. Depression, HEY i learned this new, dance or
write some new, music write a. Poem you, know there's
so many things you can do outside Of, netflix outside of,

(34:15):
YouTube outside Of, facebook all, Right so we gotta unplug
and start living life, Right so for, depression it's progression.
Right also not living a sedentary. Lifestyle also having a
purpose in. Life you gotta have a purpose in, Life
like why you hear on this? Earth it's to help

(34:38):
somebody or help some, people and you know who that?
Person is or do you know who those people? Are
but that's why we're all on our health not to
be selfish and not to take take, take but it's to.
Give and it's called the law of. Reciprococity the more you,
give the more you, come the more you get. Back
but don't give it with the intention of having it,

(35:01):
comeback all, Right you just gotta have it. Unexpected if
you don't expect, anythings you're never, disappointed. Right that's WHY
i always tell patients in the beginning what to. Expect
we don't want to, say, oh we expect a complete,
cure but it's not, cured, Right so we got to

(35:22):
make sure that you, know you actually prioritize what's. Important
and for, depression it is definitely progression and progress in your.
Intellect you, know learn new. Things you, know read new,
books meet new, people go to new, places do new.

(35:43):
Activities learn how to. Garden you, know that's really good

shelf learn how to change a water. FILTER i, mean
there's so many things you can learn that are going
to boost your brain power reverse. Depression. Right we don't

(36:06):
want to just pop up pillars just take VITAMIN, d
even though VITAMIN d is very helpful for. Depression you,
know we want to do it the real. Way through,
exercise through, nutrition through some, light through, waters, activities through,
vacation through working, hard working on, yourself working on your professional,

(36:29):
career your social, atmosphere your, friendships your love. Life we
have to prioritize all of these relationships and, say, okay
how CAN i progress in each of this? Relationship how
CAN i progress with my wife or my, kids or
my employees or my. Teachers always think how you could do.

Speaker 3 (38:30):

this is Doctor Eric, kaplan and you're listening to boost
your brain. Power, now for, depression the key is, Progression
so you need to improve your life in every aspect

(38:53):
to get rid of, depression because if you just stay
how you are or if things get, worse you're gonna get,
depression all. Right so the way to get out of
depression is to get, better improve aspects of your, life
and gamify. Things so record how quickly you do things
or how fast you do, things or your score or

(39:15):
your finances or you, know put numbers to it and, say,
oh whatever it, Is, oh my blood pressure is. High
i'm gonna exercise and eat, healthier And i'm gonna record
my numbers every day and show how my blood pressure goes.
Lower that's progression that gets you out of. Depression you,
Know i'm gonna improve my vision and instead of being twenty,

(39:37):
Fifty i'm gonna go to twenty. Forty that's. Progression i'm
gonna lift more at the. Gym instead of lifting fifty,
Pounds i'm lifting sixty. Pounds i'm gonna run a mile
instead of ten, Minutes i'm gonna run it in nine.
Minutes instead of going to church once a, Month i'm
gonna go once a. Week, right you gotta make progression

(40:00):
instead of you, know checking in on my mom you,
know once a, Week i'm gonna check in. Her twice a.
Week i'm gonna build relationships and to increased, spirituality improve my,
health and improve my, money improve my, success improve my.
Charity just make progression. Right and if you can make

(40:22):
progression with health even better or with sports or, something you,
know they do something that's. Helpful. Okay so the key
to anxiety is, Distraction the key to depression is. Progression

(40:43):
and the key to improving your memory is. Novelty doing new.
Things every, day you've got to do something new that
you've never done before ever in your. Life people improve
their memory not because their, age but because they do new.
Things that's why children have better memory than, adults because

(41:06):
everything children learn is. New that's why people who are
retired lose their memory much quicker than people who don't,
retire because they're not challenging their. Brain they're not doing new.
Things they're not meeting new, people they're not doing new,
assignments they're not taking on new, activities they're not bringing
on new, hobbies new. Habits you gotta be, new don't

(41:28):
be a creature of. Habit don't get, comfortable gotta get.
Uncomfortable It's one of my favorite things that my personal
trainer says is you have to be, uncomfortable AND i
use that with my. Patience we gotta be. UNCOMFORTABLE i
gotta give you brain exercises that challenge. You IF i

(41:48):
don't challenge, you then your memory is never going to.
Improve if you want to improve your, vision you gotta
DO i. Exercises it's not rocket. Science if you want
to prove, memory you have to do memory. Exercises how
many people are doing memory. Exercises if you want to
improve your, vision you have to do vision. Exercises how

(42:09):
many people are doing eye exercises or vision exercises every?
Day not. Many you want to improve your, posture you
gotta do posture. Exercises you want to get, faster you gotta.
Run you want to get, stronger you gotta lift. Weights
none of this is rocket, science but people just it's

(42:29):
a new. Concept it's a paradigm shift because people aren't
used to exercising their brain and doing new activities and
improving their memory every day because we're not taught. That
we're just, Taught, oh your memory gets worse with. Age
that's a big. Lie do not believe the lie that
memory gets worse with. Age you just have to do

(42:53):
new things. Now it is true sometimes areas of the
brain can get. Damaged maybe it's from a, concussion heavy, metal,
poisoning a, stroke, toxins, inflammation nutritional even from bluetooths our,
phone electromagnetic, frequencies chemical, pollutions so emotional. Stress so all

(43:21):
these things can cause brain. Dysfunction but what you want
to do is do a neurological test to see which
areas the brain are, damaged which areas aren't functioning, well
which areas are functioning. Well the best test to discover
where the abnormal brain function. Is it's called A qEEG brain.

(43:41):
Mapping and what this does is it measures all your brain,
waves your, alpha your, beta your, theta your. Delta alpha
brain waves are how we normally. Are beta brain waves
is when we're really thinking and. Focus theta is when
we're just kind of daydreaming in lalla, land and deltas
when we're just sleeping we're. Out so it measures all

(44:03):
these brain waves and based on the location of where
the abnormal brain waves, are it could tell, us, hey
which areas of brain are not functioning, Right and it's gonna, say,
oh you're gonna have problems with, sleep or you're gonna
have memory problems or balance. Problems or you're gonna have
problems with your thyroid or your. Intestines or you have
concussion or having metal, poisoning or you have a bacterial,

(44:25):
infection you have low dopamine or low, acetylcholine or you
have teninis or floaters in the, eyes or you have,
anxiety your depression or lack of, motivation or you have
anger or, aggression or you have difficulties shifting task or
time management or. Punctuality so literally tells us about each
area of the. Brain it's not, invasive there's no, radiation

(44:48):
there's no contrast, fluid there's no small. Tube it takes
less than thirty minutes to do. EVERYTHING i get the
results right. Away this test is. Amazing all you gotta
do is wear this little cap and of the electrodes
attached to. It but there's no, pain doesn't hurt at.
All this test is normally six hundred. Dollars the first
seven people to, call text or email can get it

(45:10):
for only twenty one. Dollars we're gonna offer three, tests
so stick around to the end to see how you
can get. Them the second, test in addition to THE
qEEG brain, mapping it's called A vng or A vog,
videooculography and it measures your eye movements fast eye movements
and slow eye, movements and up and down and left

(45:30):
and right and light and in, dark and with head
positions and different. Spins and based on these different eye, exercises, movements,
stimulations we could actually tell which areas of the brain, overactive,
greening anxiety and sleep deprivation AND adhd and mind raising
and anger and AGGRESSION. Oi it'll tell us which areas are,

(45:54):
underacted and that's the, depression the, fatigue the low, motivation
the poor. Memory so that is if it's. Underactive and it'll, say,
oh the right side's, underactive the left side's, overactive or
the parietal cortex is not firing, enough or the frontal
cortex is, overfiring or the brain stems in. Balance so

(46:14):
it tells us which are over and which are Under and,
again this is no, radiation no, two no, contrast, fluid
highly informative with no, risk super, quick normally six hundred.
Dollars the first seven people to, call text or email
can get it for only twenty one dollars and the
third test is one on one with, me and We're

(46:37):
