Speaker 2 (00:09):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. This month is Health and Wellness Month. What
is health and wellness? What does that mean? In my opinion,
it's all about prevention. An ounce of prevention is worth

(00:31):
a pound of cure. The modern medical model is all
about treating symptoms. Right, So you have uh sleep, sleeping problems,
take a sleeping pill, take this ambient. If you have
you know, anxiety, take this pill. Take a xanax. You

(00:51):
have diabetes, take me foreman. You got high cholesterol, take
a lipotoire. Right, So there's a draw ug that goes
with the diagnosis you have. Add here's your adderall, here's
your riddlin. You got depression, here's your lexipro. So it's

(01:12):
a pretty easy game when all you gotta do is
give a pill for each condition. But the easy way
isn't the right way. The hard way is the right way.
The hard way is getting to the root cause of
the problem and changing your lifestyle or your habits, or

(01:34):
working on your weak links. If you get to the
root cause of the problem, stop what's aggravating you, take
care of any damaged areas. Then you don't need to
take pills, you don't need to see doctors, you don't
need to do all these tests. That is health and wellness.
They should not be calling you know, uh, insurance healthcare.

(01:59):
That's that's it care. That's when you're sick. Healthcare is
focusing on the stuff they don't tell you about. But
I'm going to tell you about it. And there's seven
important factors that are going to improve your brain, improve
your body to prevent future problems such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity, dementia, Alzheimer's,

(02:30):
weak immune system, allergies, add low motivation, fatigue. We don't
want to treat these problems by covering up the symptoms.
If you have if you're tired in the morning, what
do people do to cover up their symptoms? Drink a

(02:52):
cup of coffee? Is that really fixing the root cause? Yes,
it's giving you little burst of energy, But is that
real energy? No, it's fake. Right. If you have trouble sleeping,
what do people do they might take a melatonin that's

(03:12):
not good. Even if it helps you sleep, You're actually
not getting to the root cause of the problem. True
health and wellness is changing your bad habits improving it
on your own. So you don't have symptoms to cover
up with a pill or an herb or a supplement

(03:34):
or medicine or some injection or some iv Those are
just covering up symptoms. Don't be in the medical mindset.
Don't take a pill or an herb or homeopathic remedy
to cover up a symptom. If you have low energy

(03:54):
in the morning, you got to figure out why do
you have low energy in the morning. Maybe you're not
sleeping well at night. That's the biggest cause, right, So
what do you have to do to improve your sleep?
Maybe you have to walk outside during sunrise and sunset

(04:18):
so you see the sun coming up and coming down
and get in a good circadium rhythm. So if you
have difficulty with sleep, that's the first thing I would do.
Ten minutes every morning you walk outside during sunrise. Outside,
don't look out the window. You have to go outside
for ten minutes if it's sunny, and if it's cloudy,

(04:41):
twenty minutes. Now you have to do the opposite ten
minutes during sunset and relax your brain say okay, good,
Now I could chill out and get some good sleep.
So you have to do the work. You got to
get a root cause of the problem. May you have

(05:02):
low energy in the morning, not necessarily because you're a
bad sleeper, but you have poor digestion and you didn't
break down the food that you ate yesterday to produce
energy for you. Or maybe you ate too late at
night and then you used up energy breaking down the
food while you're sleeping. You should only eat four hours

(05:28):
before bedtime. Don't eat after four hours before bedtime. Then
your food has to digest and it's gonna drain. You
have energy, and you might wake up fatigued. It could
be sleep, could be poor digestion, could be eating too

(05:49):
late at night. Your cortisol levels could be off. So
we want cortisol high in the morning and low at night.
If your cortisol is high at night, when you wake
up in the morning, you're gonna have low energy. Now,

(06:12):
what's the cause of high cortisol at night? Electronics? So
if you're watching TV before bed, you're scrolling on your
phone before bed, you're on your iPad before bed, you're
on the computer, you're on social media, any smart device

(06:34):
amidst a blue light. Whi's going to increase cortisol, which
is the stress hormone, and that's going to prevent you
from re energizing at night. It's when we fill up
our tank. But if you're not re energizing at night,
you're not gonna wake up ready to go in the morning.

(06:56):
So again, you gotta get to the root cause of
the problem. That's health and wellness. All right, What if
you have headaches. We see a lot of patients with headaches.
But what does the medical doctor do. Just give you
a headache medication. Here's your etcrin, here's your migrate mads,

(07:18):
take an ass brain call me in the morning. Nope,
don't do it. Those medications are just covering up the symptoms.
You gotta get to the root cause. Could be a
tension headache where you have this band around your head,
and you might need to decrease your overactive sympathetic nervous

(07:40):
system which is increasing your blood pressure, which is creating
more tension in your head. Get a band around your head.
Could be a stress headache, so you're gonna have a
tention headache, or you gonna have a stress headache. Stress

(08:02):
headache so when your muscles are too tight and they're
pulling on the back of your head, you you feel
this achy pain in the back of your head. That's
a stress headache. For that, we have to do what
it's called active release technique, will remove certain muscles and

(08:23):
positions of the joints to dig into the fibers to
break them up so they're not stressed out and pulling
on your head as much. It's totally different type of
treatment than a tention headache. Well, we gotta reduce the
tension and the pressure by working on your power sympathetic

(08:43):
nervous system, so you can have a tension headache. You
gonna have a stress headache, you have a migraine headache.
Migraine headache is that sharp pain behind your eye, light sensitivity, nausea,
turn off the lights, you're out for a day, that's
a migraine migraine headache. We have this great technique, insulfration technique.

(09:07):
There's only about fifty people in the whole world that
do it, where we have this instrument that pumps air
into your ear to get rid of migraine on the spot. Now,
we always want to, you know, work on the oxygen
when we're worried about migraine headaches. Migraine headaches are lack
of oxygen and blood flow into the head. So then

(09:30):
we gotta get to the root cause. We gotta focus
on getting blood flow and oxygen into the head. That's
for migraine. Cluster headaches. Those are bad too that you
might get it for weeks in a row. Migraine is
usually only like a day. Cluster headaches you could go
for a week, two week, three weeks straight with a headache.

(09:53):
Those are really bad. Usually the root cause of that
is something that you're putting in your body. Could be
cigre those cause cluster headaches, or coffee or alcohol. You know,
it's usually something bad. Sometimes it's medication. So what we
want to do is work on the root costs. You

(10:14):
might have to quit smoking, you might have to quit coffee,
you might have to quit drinking, you might have to
quit sugar. So that is when it causes the root
cause of the problem, that's a cluster headache. You want
to get to the root cause you got to stop
the bad habits. Sometimes it's preservative sometimes it's bad oils.

(10:36):
I had a patient that I helped with cluster headaches
a month ago, and we had to get rid of
all the bad oils in his diet. That's what it took.
So it's not always cigarettes or alcohol or coffee or
you know, sugar. It's actually sometimes oils. Sometimes it's artificial

(10:57):
sweeteners splendid sweet and low aspartame, diet soda, diet snample,
diet coke, all that stuff. The gums are all full
of that stuff. There's a lot of crop out there,
but sometimes you need to avoid it. You gotta avoid it.
Those energy drings, some of them have cyanide in it.

(11:21):
Look at your ingredients. See what's in that stuff that
you're putting in your body. All right, So the less
toxins you put in the body, the easier it is
to heal its well. Teach you this stuff so that
you can improve your body, improve your brain function, get
to the root cause of problem so that you prevent

(11:44):
future problems. Therefore you'll function better, feel better, and live
a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan. More when
we come back from the break.

Speaker 3 (11:55):

modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism,
add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four posture pain, TBI,
skin and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan is most famous for
getting to the root cause of a wide variety of

(12:38):
brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional
medicines and risky surgeries. To contact doctor Caplin, you can
call his team at two oh one two six one
two one five zero or visit his website at kaplindc
dot com.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Function better, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan. You're listening to boost your brain power.
This month is health and Wellness month, so we want
to get to the root cause of the problems. Before
the break, we were talking about headaches. To get to

(13:15):
the root cause of the headaches. And there's all different
types of headaches, migraines, clusters, tension, stress headaches, there's sinus headaches.
Sinus headaches usually will be like there's four sinus points.
There's two above your eyebrows and two below your eyes,

(13:35):
so I might have to do a sinus release. I
have an instrument that helps to eliminate all the sinus pressure,
all the toxins. So if you get to the root
cause of problem, you don't need to take the medicine.
You don't need to take the herbs or the supplements.
Many people love popping pills. Stop being a pill popper.

(13:56):
God gave you this amazing body to heal its own,
and it gave you this amazing earth. It's full of
fruit and veggies, and the sun to give you vitamin D,
the air to breathe, water to drink. It's all here.

(14:16):
Don't complicate it. It's easy to be healthy. Do it
the way they've always did it, where they're playing outside,
eating real food, having fun. Don't forget to have fun.
There's twenty four hours a day, eight hours of sleep.
Eight hours is work. Gotta work for it. Life isn't easy.

(14:38):
Eight hours is fun. You gotta enjoy life. We have
to enjoy the time you're here. You're not here that
long on earth. Have some fun. Stop just watching TV
and working. It's not a life. Experience life, be with
people and friends and family, and visit places and explore
the earth. Twelve vacations a year, I mean this year alone,

(15:04):
been so many places. I've been to Jamaica. I've been
to the Dominican I've been to Barbados. I've been to Mexico.
I've been to Dallas. I've been to Florida, been to
We're going to a couple of weeks. I'm going to Amsterdam,
I'm going to Paris, going up to I went up

(15:27):
to Lake George last month. We go so many different places.
Go to Delaware River, we go camping, were going to Catskills,
go to the Jersey Shore Fire Island. Actually taking more
than twelve doesn't have to be a whole week or
two weeks. It could just be for the weekend. But

(15:48):
why are we here on this earth. It's not to
watch TV, go on Facebook, work, eat and sleep. Just
to experience life. Get out of the house. Your house
is for sleep, that's it. You should be out and
about all day long, experiencing life. Don't buy people materials

(16:10):
or presents. Do something with them. Take them to a show,
do a little dance lesson, go to a concert. Try
and do something where you're not sitting. Go to the rodeo,
go to medieval times, go to Disney World, go to
Great Adventure, go hiking and kayaking, go biking. Take some lessons,

(16:37):
learn how to sew, join a book club, learn a
new language, learn an instrument, learn how to play the
ukulele or the harmonica. Read some new books. People don't
read anymore, start reading again. Could learn so much from books.

(16:59):
You could do audible books too. You know, if you
have a commute to work, do audible books. Don't always
just listen to the news or the radio, or you
put on your music or your Spotify. Learn something. You
gotta keep learning. You don't want dementia alzheimers. You gotta
learn new stuff every day. Gotta do new things, Gotta

(17:23):
go to new places, meet new people. Use that brain.
You're always on these smart devices. Your brain gets worse.
It's called digital dementia. Do you want dementia? I don't.
Got to stay away from the devices. Gotta be social,
don't be at home, you can't sit called the twenty rule.

(17:46):
Never sit for more than twenty minutes. The twenty rule.
Every twenty minutes, you get up for twenty seconds, you
walk twenty feet and you look twenty feet away. The
twenty rule. It will change your life. I don't care
if you're working, you're eating, you're reading, you're studying, you're

(18:08):
at the computer, you're watching TV, you're on the airplane,
on the bus. Every twenty minutes, you get up and
move your body. You use it or you lose it.
Health and wellness is about prevention. Now let's cover the

(18:28):
seven key pillars to success of health and wellness. Number one,
which we spoke about a little bit already, is sleep.
You gotta get your seven to eight hours of sleep
a night, and you want to sleep when it's dark.

(18:48):
So idealistically you're sleeping from ten to six, or if
it's the summertime, the sun comes up a little bit
earlier ten to five. At your seven hours in the
summer eight hour in the winter. You go to bed early,
you wake up early. When you wake up, exercise right away.
That's when your cortisol is highest. We said before go

(19:12):
outside during sunrise, you gotta do computer work. You do
it in the morning, not at night. We want that
cortisol high in the morning, So get that light. Get
the sunlight, the computer screens, whatever it is, the TV,
check your messages, your iPhone. Do it in the morning.

(19:33):
That's when you need the light. That's when the blue
light is not harmful. The blue light's only harmful at
night when the sun is down. People think blue light
is always harmful. No, it's only at night when the
sun's down. The sun emits blue light. That's why the
sky is blue and the water is blue. Blue light

(19:58):
is healthy during the dead when we want cortisol high.
During the night, we want cortisol low. That's all you're
gonna get good sleep. So you don't want to have
TV at night, specially you don't want to watch the news.
That's more stressful, more cortisol. Stay away from the news.
Turn off the news. It's not real. They have their agenda.

(20:20):
They're not telling you what's real. It's not the news.
It's not keeping you informed. It's keeping you misinformed because
they're only telling you the little tidbits that they want
you to know, so you're actually not informed. People have
this big misconception that they have to watch the news
to be informed. The more people that watch the news

(20:41):
are the least informed. Stop watching the news, and you'll
become more informed than ever. You'll start understanding how the
real world works, now, how people are telling you to believe.
You want to have good sleep, stop watching the news.
You want to reduce anxiety, stop watching the news, Stop

(21:02):
reading the newspaper, Stop going on social media where everyone's
posting the news. If you want to be stressed and
you all want good sleep, fine watch the news. If
that's your goal is to be stressed and not have
good sleep and have more anxiety, more depression, horrible mood,
low energy, watch the news. If you want have less anxiety,

(21:25):
less depression, more energy, better sleep, better brain function, then
you'll turn off the news, and you'll turn it off
knowing the fact that it's not informing you of anything.
They're just trying to put you in fear mode and
make you think that you need the government to help you,
or you need the pharmaceutical companies to help you get healthy.

(21:50):
I was away on vacation last week. I was in
a Dominican My kids, you know, they love soccer and basketball.
They love running. So, uh, we don't have cable in
our house, but we run vacations. In the hotel room,
they had TV. So my son was like, Daddy, can
we please watch the Olympics? So I said, sure, let's

(22:13):
watch the Olympics. The first thing that he noticed was
that almost every commercial was a drug commercial, a pharmaceutical commercial.
My ten year old son, he goes, Daddy, why are
there so many drug commercials? We don't watch TV, so
he's never seen this before. It's insane how many drug
commercials are. And it's insane that people would want to

(22:36):
take these medications when they list all the side effects,
and why is a pharmaceutical company advertising a drug should
just be prescribed if the doctor tells it. It should
not be if the commercial tells you to, or if
your governor president tells you to take a drug. The
only people that should be telling you to take drugs

(22:56):
or medicine are your doctors. It shouldn't be from a commercial.
Every country in the world has banned pharmaceutical commercials. Accept
America and New Zealand, that's it. Every other country has
banned pharmaceutical commercials because they know that it just makes
the country more sick. So turn off the news, turn

(23:18):
off the commercials. If you want to function better, feel better,
and live a better life, this is doctor Eric Kaplan.
More when we come back from the.

Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. This month is Health and Wellness Month. True
health and wellness comes from healing within your body has

(24:45):
the power to heal itself. You don't need all these
doctors and pills to fix you, but you gotta work
for it. The more work you put in, the more
healthy habits you do, the more p the intitive measures
you take, the least chance you have of developing some

(25:07):
neurological disorder, some you know, gas intestinal disorder, some cardiovascular problem, obesity.
There's all types of things that you can avoid by
making the right decisions today. So the first important factor

(25:32):
or pillar of your health and well being that we
spoke about already with sleep. The second pillar to natural
health and wellbeing is water. You have to drink half
your body weight of water in ounces. So if you
weigh one hundred and twenty pounds, you have to drink
sixty ounces of water every single day. If you weigh

(25:54):
two hundred pounds, you have to drink one hundred ounces.
Always drink water on an empty stomach, drinking a half
hour before each meal. Your brain is like a grape.
When it gets dehydrated, it shrivels up into a raisin.
Do you want your brain to be nice and juicy

(26:18):
and big and round, and you're gonna be all small
and shriveled up an atrophed well. One way to prevent
that atrophe, to prevent dementia Alzheimer's is to stay hydrated
half your body weight in ounces. If you work out,
you have to drink a little bit more. If you
have coffee that's a diuretic, you're gonna need to drink

(26:38):
more water. You drink alcohol that dehydrates you, you have
to drink more. Put a pinch of pink and moine
salt or the Celtic sea salt into the water to
get the electrolytes, so you absorb the water. If you're
drinking poland springs to Sonny, you're just going to drink

(26:59):
the water. Pee it out, drink the water, peet out.
You're not gonna absorb it. But what you are gonna
intake is those chemicals in the plastics that leach into
the water. Those plastics can affect your estrogen. So a
lot of men come to see me for a rectile dysfunction.
The more plastics you have, the more estrogen. If you

(27:20):
have tofu soy if you have soy sauce, you have
soybean oil. That's gonna affect your hormones. Right, If you
have ed. Stop storing food and plastic. Stop drinking out
of plastic water bottles. Stop eating soy bean curved out

(27:46):
of mamee tofu. Stay away from it. All those fake meats,
soybean oil, stay away from it. Most restaurants are gonna
cook with some sort of soybean oil. Have some soy sauce.
That's gonna mess with your hormones. All right, So you

(28:10):
got your sleep is number one. Water is number two.
Exercise is number three. You have to exercise. You gotta
move your body every day. Sitting is the new smoking.
Harvard came out with a study that chose that sitting
will kill you. You have to get off your butt,

(28:34):
gonna move your body. Find something that you like to do.
I don't care if it's taking a dance class, biking, swimming,
play some sports, tennis, basketball, soccer, run around the track,

(28:56):
some hiking, rollerblading. Find something that you like to do.
I don't care if it's kayaking, but if it gets
you out of the house, move in your body, that's fine.
Take some classes, pilates, yoga. You could take dance class,

(29:17):
pole dancing, hip hop dancing, zoomba. You can take line dancing.
You can take tango, salsilescent, you do belly dancing. Just
find something that's fun, find something that you like to do.
Some people are really into the psycho classes, the peloton,
whatever it is. There's a community. Great, but social great.

(29:43):
But exercise every day. At least people say, oh, you
don't have to exercise every day. Yes, you've got to
move your body every day. It is very rare someone
is over exercising. Almost everybody's under exercising. And if you
work out so hard that you gotta take a week
off because you're so sore, that's too much. Don't push

(30:07):
yourself too much, but push yourself enough where you can
exercise every day. You gotta be a little uncomfortable, gotta exercise,
move your body. The worst thing is sitting. The twenty rule.
Every twenty minutes of sitting, you get up for twenty seconds,
you walk twenty feet and you look twenty feet away.
You're gonna change your life, all right. So we got sleep,

(30:31):
we got water, you got exercise. The fourth pillar nutrition,
You gotta eat healthy. Eating healthy is not complicated. You
don't have to follow the ketogenic diet or the paleo
diet or Atkins or carnivore, be a vegan, or do
the blood type diet, or do the thirty thirty forty

(30:53):
or you know, it's like there's so many these rules
and counting calories and wade watchers, and it's just too stressful.
Don't complicate it. You want to eat healthy, Give you
a couple simple rules. Number one, every day, make sure

(31:14):
you eat each color of the rainbow. You have to
eat something that's red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Every day. You've got to cover the rainbow. The second
thing that's super important is avoid the white foods. Milk, sugar, dairy, flour, bread, sandy.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
Juice, noodles, rice patoes, crackers, cereal, bagels, croissants, all those
white grains.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Stay away from them. You want to be healthy, you
eat the colors. You stay away from the white foods.
It's that's simple. Don't eat processed foods. Nothing in boxes
and cans and bags, nothing stored, these non perishables. I
want food that molds, that's real food. Eat fresh food.

(32:16):
It's been picked that morning, all right, So you gotta
just eat real food like they did when they were
a hunter gatherers. If you can pick it off a tree,
pick it out of a bush, pick it out of
the root. You can get it directly from the earth,
you know, grab the egg from the nesta, the you know,

(32:36):
chicken from the earth, the fish from the ocean, right,
just anything that the earth produces. Not the stuff in
the middle of the supermarket, in the aisles, which are
the processed foods, boxes, cans and bags. Stay on the
outside of the supermarket where everything's fresh. Get a fish
that was just caught, right, something fresh fruit, fresh fruit,

(33:01):
fresh vetchies raw. The closer to the earth, the better.
Don't chop up everything. Eat it as whole as you can,
you know, don't chop up your carrots or your apples,
your legs. Eat it whole. That is very good for digestion.

(33:22):
So the digestive process starts from when you touch the food.
So it's even better not to use forks or spoons
or knives. Your knives are your teeth. Cut it with
your teeth, don't use a fork, use your hands. Let's
put that digestive process and look at your food. Smell

(33:47):
your food. Get those different colors make it more enjoyable.
Such a stuffing food down your face from some microwave
meal while you're washing the news and scrolling through Facebook.
Let's do it old school where we eat fresh food,
home cooked meal with no electronics and everyone actually eats

(34:12):
and talks about their day, a really good family meal.
That's ideal. We need to be more social. Right, So
we got sleep, we got water, we've got exercise, we
got nutrition. Now we need to talk about oxygen. We

(34:36):
need lots and lots of oxygen. All right. The normal
air in the atmosphere is about twenty twenty one percent oxygen.
We have some cool technology in our office, like an
oxygen concentrator that filters out that nitrogen and the carbon
dioxide and increases the concentration of oxygen to forty percent.

(34:58):
It doubles it. You can do it when you work out.
You can do it when you do brain exercises. It's
really cool stuff, an oxygen concentrator. They work very well
to increase your oxygen levels. Your posture is important for
your oxygen. If your shoulders are rolled in and your
head's tilted forward and down, it's going to be harder
to breathe also get oxygen producing plants for inside money plants,

(35:21):
alovera plants, snake plants, spider plans. Those increase your oxygen levels.
The trees outside, go outside in the woods and in
the forest, one tree gets enough oxygen for five people, right,
so you want to increase your oxygen do breathing exercises.
The best breathing exercise is where you exhale twice as

(35:44):
long as you inhale. So if you inhale for three seconds,
you exhal for six, then try and do the next
day inhale for four seconds, excel for eight, and then
the next day inhale for five seconds, excel for ten.
You always want to double the act that gets rid
of the carbon dioxide and increases the oxygen levels. Eventually

(36:06):
you want to get to where you inhale for eight
seconds and exhale for sixteen seconds. That's going to maximize
your oxygen. When you inhale, make sure you breathe from
your diaphragm, not your shoulders, in your neck. So when
you inhale, your belly should go down and out, pushing
your diaphragm down, and then when you exhale, belly should
come in, pushing the carbon dioxide out. That's called diaframatic breathing.

(36:30):
And you always want to excel twice as long as
you inhale, you want to focus on your posture. You
want to get a nice oxygen concentrator, then you want
to go out in the woods and for home, you
want to buy some oxygen purifying plants. Right, that's one
of the key pillars to improve your health and well

(36:52):
being so you function better, feel better, and live a
better life. This is doctor Eric Caplan your list listening
to boost your brain power.

Speaker 3 (37:02):

is most famous for getting to the root cause of
a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than

(37:47):
treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To contact
doctor Caplin, you can call his team at two oh
one two six one two one five zero, or visit
his website at kaplandc dot com.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Function Better, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan. You're listening to boost your brain power.
So we're talking about the pillars to your health and
wellness starts with a good night's sleep. Gotta get your
proper rest. You don't get a good night's sleep. It's

(38:22):
not suggested to take a nap during the day. If
you need to and you get a good night's sleep,
that's fine. But if you have trouble falling asleep or
staying asleep, you want to make sure you don't take
a nap, so you keep your body up the whole
day so that it's so exhausted at night you get
a deeper sleep. A real good deep sleep is when
you wake up and you're like, WHOA, what day is it?

(38:46):
What time is it? How long have I been out?

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Where am I?

Speaker 2 (38:50):
That's a good night's sleep. If you know what time
it is, what day it is, you got up all
these things to pee, roll over, think. Your mind's raising
that's not a good night's sleep. You shouldn't remember your dreams.
That means you're waking up during your deep sleep. So
everybody dreams, but you should wake up not even knowing

(39:12):
that you dreat You just want to be like, WHOA,
how long have I been out? What happened last night?
That's a real good night's sleep. Number two. Water drink
your half your body weight and ounces. We need lots
of water. Put in the Pinkhmelayan salt for the solet water,
Squeeze some lemon, and always drink on an empty stomach.

(39:33):
Exercise You gotta find something that you do at least
exercise five, ten twenty minutes a day, but be consistent
every single day. Do something, find something that you love
that gets your heart beaten fast. But also you have
to do weight resistant exercise. Not just stuff that gets
you sweaty and your heart beaten fast, but also weight
resistant exercise. Nutrition. We said you got to eat all

(39:56):
the colors of the rainbow and stay away from the
white foods. That's the fourth pillar's nutrition that's super super
important to function best and feel best. The fifth pillar
we spoke about was oxygen. You gotta get your oxygen.

(40:16):
Do your breathing exercise where you exhal twice as long
as you inhale. Make sure you breathe from your diaphragm
as well. On the inhale, pushing the diaphragm down and out,
on the exhale, pushing the diaphragm up and in. These
will all help, not only it gets you feel better now,
but to prevent future problems as well. The sixth pillar

(40:37):
to health and wellness is sunlight. Gotta get outside. We're
inside all day. You need the sun. The sun's strongest
in the middle of the day, maybe from twelve to two,
so that's usually when people have lunch. Go outside, even
if it's just for twenty minutes. Take off your hat,
take off your glasses, roll up your sleeves, roll up
your pants. Get as much skin exposed as pops possible.

(41:01):
You know, keep it decin, don't get arrested, but expose
as much skin as possible. Then you wanna get your sunlight.
Which is vitamin D, which is a hormone. Vitamin D
the hormone helps with your thyroid helps prevent dementia and Alzheimer's,
helps with your immune system. I mean, it's the most

(41:24):
important hormone is vitamin D, and we get it from
the sunlight. So we're inside all day. We're literally depleting
ourselves of D. Get out when the sun's strongest. We said,
for sleep, you want to walk outside during sunrise for
ten minutes and sunset for ten minutes. But to get
your vitamin D, you gotta go out in the middle
of the day. So minimum you want to go out

(41:46):
three times a day, but you really want to go
out more, as much as possible and as many hours
as possible, especially up here in New York and Jersey
where the sun is weak. You know, it's different. If
you're near the equator, you don't have to be outside
all day because it's so powerful there. Now, if you

(42:11):
have a history of skin cancer, protect yourself and use
zinc oxide. Never buy anything from CBS like a suntan
lotion or sunscreen, banana boat, whatever it is. Those are
all crap toxic chemicals that actually causes skin cancer. Most

(42:33):
sunscreens and suntann oceans actually cause skin cancer. Yes, that's right.
It's not protecting you from skin cancer, it's causing it
because of all the chemicals. Those are the most toxic products.
People put on their body. If you want a safe
way to protect yourself, you could actually use coconut boils

(42:55):
a five SPF that's good for up north. If you're
on vacation, you're in the Caribbean, you're gonna be outside
and the beach all day. Zinc oxide is your safest bet.
That's going to protect you from the sun but not
cause toxic chemicals to go to your skin and create
health issues. Got it, suntan lotionans, stay away from it,

(43:20):
all right. So you need that vitamin D and you
need your eyes to get the vitamin D. So take
off your glasses. Don't look directly at the sun, but
let those rays hit your sun or hit your eyes.
That's sundlight. And the seventh pillar is positive mental attitude
and not only for yourself, but you gotta be around

(43:41):
positive people. If you're always around people that are complaining,
that are negative talking about all the problems in the world,
that takes a big toll on your health. If you're negative,
if you're always complaining, if you're always finding the bad
in people, that's not good for your health. Be the
one that shows the good and it be the one

(44:02):
that shows that there are good people believe in the
good of the world. Be around people who think good
is better than evil. Good will prevail. I know good prevail.
Good always prevails. There's more good people than bad people.
Bad people are just louder, but there's more good people.

(44:24):
So I have high faith that the world is going
in a good place. You would never believe that if
you turn on the news. All right, turn off the news.
It's not true. There's ninety nine good things going on
in the world. The news is gonna report the one
bad thing. They're gonna ignore the ninety nine good things.
They're gonna report the one bad thing because that's what

(44:47):
they want you in fear. They want you turning on
to be scared. All right, So it's a positive mental latitude.
You be positive. Don't say I want to prevent uh dementia.
Say I want to improve my memory. Don't say, oh
I want help with my insomnia. Say I want to

(45:10):
improve my sleep. Got it. So the words we use
are important, right. You don't want to say, oh, I
want to I want to prevent cancer. You want to
say I want to improve my immune system. Got it.
So the words we speak are super important. Now, how

(45:30):
do you know what area of this health and wellness.
Are you missing well? You have to do a complete evaluation,
a one on one evaluation with me, where I could
check out your heart, your lungs, could check out your posture,
your alignment, your memory, your focus, your gait. Check out

(45:56):
your respond to lights and sounds and smells. See your
reaction time, your focus, see your muscle strength, your reflexes.
So there's a lot. We could check your circulation, your
heart rate, your digestion, you have bloating, so do full evaluation.

(46:17):
I'm gonna give a gift to you guys. A one
on one with me normally is five hundred dollars, but
for the first seven people to call, text or email
you could get the entire one on one with me
for only twenty one dollars. Okay, Now, I'm also gonna
give away a second test, which is called a q

(46:38):
EEG Brain mapping. For this, you wear cap that's got
electrodes attached to it and they measure your brain waves
and they're gonna tell us you have depression, do you
have anxiety? Do you have a thyroid problem, you have
intestinal inflammation? Do you have low acetyl coling? Do you
have difficulty shifting tasks. Do you have short term memory
long term memory problems? Do you have motivation problems? Do

(47:01):
you have energy problems? Do you have issues with your
balance and your eyes or your ears? You have headaches
and ringing, you have having metal poisoning, you have a concussion.
So it literally analyzes your whole brain. That test is
normally five hundred dollars as well, but for the first
seven people to call, text or email you could get

(47:22):
that only twenty one dollars. The third test that we're
going to give as a gift, it's called a VNG
video listography, And this is a test where we measure
with infrared cameras on these goggles. They measure eye movements
fast and slow, and up and down and with light,

(47:42):
with no light, and with a head movement. And it's
gonna tell us which areas of the brain are overactive
and which areas are underactive. You know, for people with
overactive brain, they might have inzomia or heart palpitations, or
anxiety or panic disorders, or their minds always racing. They
can't relax and calm down. Everything's overactive. They might have

(48:05):
autoimmune disease and might effet. They're thyroid or their gut
or their digestion, or they might be underactive areas. They
might have low motivation, bad memory or focus, low energy,
slow metabolism, trouble losing weight. Is their underactive brain. The

(48:29):
VG is the best tell us. Okay, it's the right side,
is the left side which it's overactive, which is underactive?
I love that test. That's five hundred dollars as well.
But for the first seven people to call text or email,
you can get that test for twenty one dollars. And
the best deal overall is to do all three tests

(48:50):
where you do the one on one with me a
qEEG brain mapping a VG for only twenty one dollars.
EAT's for a total of only sixty three dollars. All
you have to do is be one of the first
seven people to call text or email. And people are
always like, how are you doing this for so cheap?

(49:11):
I don't understand how could you do this? And first
of all, I thank my mentor for that because he says, hey, listen,
don't give people a barrier to come into the office,
all right, don't give them a barrier. Make it easy
for them, all right. So if what I think is

(49:33):
that if you just make it, if we make it
easy for you. This is more just a get acquainted visit.
There's no pressure, there's no obligation. It's just to see
if you're a good fit for the practice. That's why
it's only sixty three dollars. If you don't feel any pressure,
don't feel any obligation. You get to figure out where
your problem is, if your brain and your body are

(49:54):
I'm gonna give you my suggestions, my diagnosis, my suggestions,
but there's no obligations. Up to you. Whether you want
to follow through or now, it's all your responsibility. Remember
I told you, no doctor's gonna save you, no pill
is gonna fix you. You have to do it on
your own. And that's the type of doctor I am
is teach you how to help yourself, all right. And
