Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
brain power. Now, there's a lot of different parts of
the brain, and the brain is very complicated. So what
we have to do is figure out what part of
(00:40):
the brain isn't functioning well. Once we could figure out
which part of the brain isn't functioning well, we could
come up with exercises to stimulate those weak areas. So
I'm sort of like a physical therapist, but for the brain.
So instead of going to the gym and doing bicep
(01:01):
curls and stretching and strengthening, We're gonna be doing neurologic
exercises to stimulate the weak areas of the brain. This
process is called neuroplasticity and can rewire the brain. It
used to be thought that once these brain deteriorated, damaged
(01:25):
stroke and stuff like that, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, that there's nothing
you could do about it. But that's the old way
of thinking. Ever since two thousand, we've known about neuroplasticity.
We can actually get your brain stronger. You could rewire
your brain. You could create more connections, more synapses, more mitochondria,
(01:46):
more blood flow, more circulation, more serotonin, more dopamine, more oxytocin,
more endorphins, all those good chemicals we can increase. But
you got to strengthen it, just like you could strengthen
a muscle. But you have to figure out which area
(02:07):
of the brain needs the help first. Now, let's say
there's a problem in your frontal cortex. Your frontal cortex
is right in the front of your brain, basically where
your forehead is. The frontal cortex is responsible for focus.
So let's say you have troubles with focus. You know
(02:29):
how you have ADD or ADHD, or you get distracted easily.
You know you have difficulty with concentration, it's hard to
focus when reading. Then you might have a problem in
your frontal cortex. Right, So if you have a problem
in your frontal cortex, there's exercises you could do to
(02:50):
strengthen the frontal cortex. The three best things that the
frontal cortex likes is smell and quick eye movements they're
called cycads, and also different hand movements. You know. So
(03:13):
what you do is you could do some sort of
essential oils. Make sure it's a quality company such as
Dotera or Young Living. Most of those companies have a
lot of chemicals in them, so you don't want that.
And the cool part is, let's say if you're trying
(03:33):
to stimulate the right frontal cortex, you would do smell
just in the right nostral, but if you're doing the
left frontal cortex, you would do smell just in the
left nostril. I'm gonna if you stick around to the
end of the show, I'm gonna tell you how you
could actually analyze the brain to figure out is it
the right side or the left side. Therefore you would
know which nostril to smell. Now, we also said the
(03:57):
frontal cortex likes quick eye movements, so you could just like, uh,
look at a picture frame and you go from one,
you know, the right part of the picture frame. You
say one, two, three, and as quick as you can
go to the left part of the picture frame. That's
a quick eye movement and then hand gesture, hand movements,
(04:17):
finger movements. Uh. You know, you guys can try this
at home. So do a piece sign with your left hand,
like just two fingers up, and then do an OK
sign with your right hand. That's where you you know,
put up three fingers and then you make an O
with your index finger and your thumb. So you got
(04:38):
one side is piece, one side is okay, and then
you count to three one two three, and then at
the same exact time you switch where you make the
other side piece and then switch to the other side
to the okay and they say one, two three and switch.
So that's using your brain using your fingers. Very good
for the frontal cortex. Those three things are the most
(05:01):
important for the frontal cortex. Smell, quick eye movements, and
hand movements. Complicated hand movements. And I got thousands of
these complicated hand movements that we do in our offices
in New York and in New Jersey and we do
over our virtual visits. So if you want to increase
(05:21):
focus that comes from your frontal cortex, we'd have to
do frontal cortex exercises. Other things that are related to
the frontal cortex. Our memory. You're especially your working memory.
So when people say, ah, you know, my memory's not
doing as good as it used to do, they say, oh, man,
(05:42):
am I just getting old and my brain's not working
as good. I that is my pet peeve. I do
not like when people blame things on their age. Your
memory can get better as you get older. You just
got to do the work. Your focus can get better
(06:03):
as you get older. So many people said, oh, I
can't focus like I used to when I was younger,
because your brain is weak. It's not as strong as
it used to be. Now you're going to strengthen it.
It's not gonna get stronger by not doing anything. It's
called neuroplasticity. You got to strengthen your brain. You got
to stimulate it. You got to exercise it. You got
(06:25):
to activate it. Just like a muscle, you use it
or you lose it. So if you want to improve
your memory, you do memory exercises. You want to improve
your focus, we have to do focus exercises. So just purposely,
you know, remember somebody's phone number. Don't look in your
(06:46):
contact list in your cell phone. You know, purposely remember
the address don't just put it in the GPS. You're
use your brain even though you don't have to. You know,
don't Google everything and YouTube everything. Try and do it
on your own, think of it on your own. The
(07:06):
more you use AI, the weaker your brain becomes. You're
letting the computer do all the work for you. You
want your brain get weaker and weaker. Use more AI, more, Google, more,
cell phone, more, YouTube, more social media that gets your
(07:30):
brain weaker. You want to get your brain stronger. Unplug,
get off your cell phone, get off Google, get off YouTube,
turn off your Wi Fi, turn off your five G
don't have any electronics, especially in your bedroom, turn it
all off. If you got to do your work, do
(07:52):
it during daylight hours nine to five, like they've done forever.
Get your work done nine to five. After that, turn
off all your electronics and that means TV too. No
more Netflix. Do something more productive for your brain. Take
a dance class, read a book, draw so sculpt, garden.
(08:21):
I don't care what it is. Do something creative, Do
something fun, play some cards with your family, a board game,
do stuff without electronics. Take the dog for a walk,
go shoot some hoops, kick the soccer, ball around, throw
the baseball, Go for a walk, go for a hike.
(08:45):
All your electronics, get it done. Nine to five. Get
your emails done, your text messages, your calls, your zooms.
Get it all done from nine to five, and then unpluck.
If you want to get your brain stronger, if you
don't mind any up everyone else with dementia and Alzheimer's
and stroke and Parkinson's and cancer, go for it. You
(09:06):
want to be the one percent that gets healthier and
healthier as they get older and older. You gotta work
for it. Your health isn't given to you. You gotta
work for it. But keep it simple. It's not complicated.
Get your basics, get your sunlight, get your oxygen, get
your water, eat your fruits and your veggies. It's not complicated.
(09:30):
You want to get your brain stronger, though, start unplugging.
All right. So let's go back to the frontal cortex.
All right. So the frontal cortex is not all responsible
for focus and memory, but motivation. So people who have
troubles with motivation usually have a decrease activation of their
(09:52):
frontal cortex. People with time management problems, they can't get
stuff done, they're always late, can't be punctual that's also
from the frontal cortex. Abnormal social behavior, not understanding the
(10:16):
consequences of actions, depression, anxiety, the executive functions. Those are
all coming from your frontal cortex. Even language, your language
centers are in your frontal cortex. If you stutter, you know,
(10:40):
not saying the right words, a lot of reading and dyslexia,
that type of stuff comes from the frontal cortex. People
with autism, that comes from the frontal cortex. People with
add ADHD comes from the frontal cortex. These are all
developmental delays where the frontal cortex isn't communicating properly. And
(11:05):
then the reverse happens as we get older, where you
get frontal temporal dementia, people start losing their memory, slower
reaction time, humped over posture for a movement right, That
all comes from the frontal cortex. So if we figure
(11:27):
out they have a frontal cortex problem, now we could
give you a frontal core tex solution. This neuroplasticity is
not neuroscience. We figure out where the problem is and
then teach you how to stimulate those weak areas so
you can function better, feel better, and live a better life.
This is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost
(11:50):
your brain power.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
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
(12:15):
approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism,
add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four posture pain, TBI,
skin and digestive problems. Doctor Caplin is most famous for
getting to the root cause of a wide variety of
brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional
(12:38):
medicines and risky surgeries. To contact the Doctor Kaplan, 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 3 (12:50):
Function better, feel better and live a better lie. This
is doctor Eric Caplan and you're listening to who's your
brain power? Now, we see a lot of patients with
sensory problems. And what's a sensory problem. You might have
(13:10):
floaters in the eyes. You might have sensitivity to light,
double vision, blurry beision, You might get headaches, dizziness, room
spinning or getting light headed. Your spinning, you feel like
you're on a boat, you're moving, you're bobbing, you're weaving.
(13:31):
Or you might have ringing in the ears, difficulty hearing,
or you might have sensitivity to certain sounds chewing food,
it's called mesophonia. You might have some balance problems, even falls,
even where he needed to walk with a cane or
(13:53):
a walker. He might have to hold onto things. You
might you know, take a second if you get up quick.
So these are all like balanced problems, vestibular problems. Those
are sensory issues. Or you might feel weird things like
numbness or tingling, or bugs crawling, or the wind blowing
(14:15):
or different shooting, pains and stabbing, pains and pulsatings and
burnings and numbness and tingling, all these weird sensations. So
we have sensory issues. Might be sensitive to smell, certain smells,
perfumes and chemicals and cigarettes, smoke, and where you just
(14:37):
can't handle these smells or even tastes or textures. You
can't handle certain foods. These are all sensory issues. You
see tons of these. They're all over the map, the
literal map, there's some atomographic map. And what it is
is we have these sensory issues. Sometimes it's from the thaumists.
(14:57):
Sometimes it's from your parietal cortex. You know, there's different
areas of the brain that can affect these different sensory
issues there. It could be in the brain stem, you know,
especially with the eyes and the ears. A lot of
a lot of different possibilities. But we have to figure
out which part of the brain's not functioning well and
(15:18):
which part of the brain is functioning well. When people
have an issue with the parietal cortex, a lot of
times they'll confuse their laps and their rights, or you know,
they come out of this subway and they don't know
which way is north and south and east and west.
There's the story beds to be of your own body,
(15:39):
but it's also sensorated the outside world as well. You know,
we gotta, you know, help these people by stimulating those
weak areas of the brain. It's called neuroplasticity and if
you do have a weak area, your parietal cortex, which
is the sensory cortex in your brain, kind of sits
on top of your head. So you have your frontal
(16:01):
which is like the forehead, and right behind it is
your parietal that's more the sensory and there's exercises you
could do to stimulate that sensory cortex. For example, you
could do what it's called gradh esthesia. A lot of
us to this as kids. You know, you draw different
letters or numbers on the back, on the arm and
the hand and the leg, and then with your eyes closed,
(16:24):
you have to identify what that letter is or what
that number is. It's a fun game, but it's actually
good for your brain. And if you have balance problems
or these propial sceptive issues, or you have you know,
some pains in your neck and your back and you
have poor posture propial reception, these exercises might be appropriate
for you. Another exercise, uh, it's called stereognosis. This is
(16:48):
where that's a little fun game where you kind of
put a bunch of stuff in a bucket and you
gotta put your hands in there, pull something out, and
you gotta identify what it is. You know, you want
to make it real hard. You could do all different
types of writing utensils. You have a pencil, a pen,
a highlight, or a marker or a cran and you go, okay,
(17:11):
you got to figure out which one it is. Or
you could just do random so you have no idea
what it's going to be. You have a comb, you know,
you have a toothpick, you have a quarter, you have
an apple, you have a bottle cap, you have a pen,
(17:38):
you know, and then they just got to randomly pick
out of it with the eyes closed and identify it.
And you have the hands and the feet. You know,
you could have use your feet, and you just put
a bunch of balls on the ground, and you know
you have a tennis ball, a racquetball, a softball, a
golf ball, a whiffle ball, and you know you've got
to basically by feeling with the bottom of your foot,
identify what that is. Very good for your balance, very
(18:03):
good for your coordination, very good for your posture, your alignment,
very good for your pain, your inflammation. Like these type
of brain exercises, so you don't always heal with a
pill or a surgery. You know, most of the body
can heal itself. The power that made the body heals
the body. We don't need to intervene so much. Maybe
(18:26):
we just need to get rid of that interference. Maybe
we just need to strengthen the weak areas. Right, So,
just like you know, you gotta maintain your body. You
gotta brush your teeth every day. You gotta eat your
fruits and veggies and drink your water.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
You gotta get good sleep, right, you gotta help others
and relax and have some fun. So there's a lot
of just common things to do, you know, but no
one tells you how to stimulate your brain. When your
brain controls everything, right, So we have to exercise our
brain just like we exercise our muscles. Just like you
take care of your teeth. It's like you get your
(19:03):
sleep every night, get your rest. You kinda take care
of your brain. You gotta take care of that brain
to make it strong. It's called neuroplasticity. Now, some people
outside of the parietal cortex might have been ensure the
temporal cortex that's like on the side, like by your
ears basically, and that can affect your hearing, can affect
(19:26):
your balance, your memory. So your short term memory is
more on the superior part of the temporal cortex, and
then your long term memory it's more in the inferior,
the lower part of that temporal core tex. That's where
we have frontal temporal dimension. All these memory problems come
from your temporal core tex, and that might affect even
(19:49):
your balance. You're hearing like it tonight. Is So it's not.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Always the memory that goes first. Sometimes all these other
things that are affected, and then we gotta strengthen that,
and that prevents dementia Alzheimer's. So that's the thing. Alzheimer's
takes about forty years to develop. So we got to
do brain therapy now before your memory starts to know, right,
(20:19):
So if your memory starts to go at sixty, that
means it started at twenty. Your memory starts to go
at seventy, right, I mean it started at thirty, So
it starts early. It's got to intervene when you're young.
But even if you are sixty or seventy, it's still
reversible through this neuroplasticity. It just takes longer. The earlier
(20:42):
you start, the better, and earlier is preconception. Right. If
you want true health, it starts from that healthy sperm.
So I tell and all my you know, want to
be parents before you even start trying to get pregnant.
You want to get that healthy. So make sure the
guy doesn't drink alcohol, coffee, sugar, preservatives, chemicals, no stress,
(21:08):
gets good sleep, drinks water, good hydration, so it's in
super super healthy shape for at least a month before
you start trying to conceive. And the same thing goes
for the female. You just want to have that healthy
environment for the egg, right, You don't want to whole acidic, inflammatory,
(21:28):
no hydration, no blood flow. We want a good environment
for that egg, so when the sperm gets there, it
can grow in a really nice environment. And then when
the woman's pregnant, that's the most important part for brain development.
So mom is stressed when she's pregnant, that means baby's
gonna get stressed before they're even born. So I'm gonna
(21:49):
make sure that mom's stress is super low before pregnancy,
during pregnancy, and obviously after pregnancy, TiO, because if she's
given stressed out milk to the baby, then the baby
he's gonna get stressed out all as well. All right,
So stress is the silent killer. It causes everything. It
causes stroke, it causes heart attack, causes cancer, causes Alzheimer's.
(22:13):
Stress is the silent killer everyone's looking for all these causes.
It's stress. So we've got to reduce your stress levels.
Super important there, all right. So you got your frontals
in the front, you got your parietals kind of on top.
Right behind the frontal on the side of your head
(22:33):
is your temporal cortex, and the fourth lobe of the
brain is called your occipital cortex. That's in the back,
and that's for vision, all right. So you know, if
you have visual problems, eye problems, you might have an
issue in your occipital lobe. And the occipital lobe interprets
everything we see, and the eyes are very very important.
(22:54):
You know. That's like the window into your nervous system.
The eyes. You know, we could tell all the different
lobes of the brain are functioning from the eyes. So
that's why we do some of these eye tests so
to actually figure out and analyze the brain. You know,
if the eyes are yellow, you can tell there's a
liver problem. You can tell if there's a heart problem.
By looking in the eyes with the opt the molescope.
(23:17):
We have the eyes twitching, we know there's some stress there.
You can tell how the pupils when they open and close.
You know that brain is reacting. Your brain stem. You
know there's The eyes can tell us almost about every
part of your brain in your body. So we do
a lot of eye exercises in our office. We analyze
(23:37):
the eyes a lot. Now, the eyes are the way
you got vitamin D. So if you wear glasses, what
you gotta do is take your glasses off and then
when you go outside, let the sun hit the pupil,
which is the black part of your eye. You have
contact lines, got to take up those contact lenes and
let the sun hit the eye because if you don't,
(24:01):
let the sun hit that black part, because that black
pupil is a hole and that's how the sun gets
into the brain. But if you're covering it with sunglasses
or reading glasses, our vision glasses, contact lenses or anything
like that, you're not gonna get your proper sunlight and
your proper vitamin D. So at least ten minutes a day,
(24:22):
take off your glasses, go outside and make sure the
sun hits your eyes to maximize your vitamin D levels.
Because your vitamin D is good for your brain, helps
prevent dementia. It's good for your thyroid, helps with your hormones.
It's good for your immune system, helps prevent the lime, covid,
the flu, pneumonia. So you need vitamin D for almost
(24:45):
every process in your body. So you could function, banner,
feel banner, and lit a better lot. This is doctor
Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your brain power.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Function Banner, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. Now, we were just talking about how stress
is the silent killer. Now, how do we know if
you can't handle your stress properly? It usually comes from
(26:17):
what's called your brain stem or your autonomic nervous system.
Your autonomic nervous system is split into two parts. You
have your sympathetic nervous system and your powasympathetic nervous system.
Your sympathetic nervous system is what we call the fight
or flight mode. That's when you're in stress. That's when
(26:40):
you're you know, running to catch the subway. That's when
you're you know, fighting someone off. That's when you are
in a competitive sport and you have to run as
fast as you can to the finish line.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
It's when we're you know, someone's trying to mug us
and we have to get out of the way. You know,
when the lines hunting us. We got to hide behind
the tree. You know, that's when we want to fight
or flight mode, which hopefully for you, is very very
rare where you're barely in that fight or flight mode.
Most of the time, we want to be in what's
(27:16):
called your para sympathetic state, which is the rest and
digest breed and breed. So if you have troubles with sleep,
if you have anxiety, you have digested problems, you have
difficulty breathing asthma, bronchitis, you have difficulty with hormones, getting pregnant,
(27:38):
abnormal cycle, cramping, irritability, pain during your period, morning sickness
during pregnancy, you know, lack of libido, rectile dysfunction, any
of these hormone issues, then you might have an issue
in your autonomic nervous system. Right, So it's thematic nervous system.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Right.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
We don't think about how much testosterone to produce. We
don't think about you know, how to get aroused. It
happens automatically. Right. You don't think about your how much
blood pressure to have your heart does it automatically. We
don't think about how fast to breathe your lungs. Do
it automatically. It all comes from your brain stem. It
all comes from this autonomic nervous system. And when people
(28:24):
have panic, stress, anxiety, insomnia, a drenal fatigue, poor digestion,
urinary frequency, urgency, leakage accidents, you have hormonal problems, diabetes,
(28:46):
blood problems, gall bladder issues, gallstones, kidney stones, all that
stuff that's from your autonomic nervous system. All right, So
if we figure out that you have a problem with
your autonomic nervous system, we're gonna rewire brain. It's called neuroplasticity.
So just like you could strengthen your frontal cortex by
(29:08):
doing brain exercises, you could strengthen your autonomic nervous system
by doing other brain exercises. So if you're stuck in
this stress mode, this fireflight mode, and you're not getting
good sleep and digestion and all the stuff we spoke about,
you might have to work on these four nerves. One
of the nerves is called the ocular motor nerve, and
that's the eyes. So you have to do eye exercises,
(29:30):
but they're specific eye exercises. You know. I see all
these people, you know, going on YouTube and they do
these eye exercises where they look right and left and
up and down and think that they're gonna be fixing
their autonomic nervous system. But it's not gonna happen like that.
So there's a lot of different exercises that have to
be done, but it all depends on your weakness. There.
(29:52):
The second nerve has to do with the face, so
we got to do some sensory and motor like touch
and movement. We wrote what's called this trait is your ear.
We do this blink reflex. This is good for the
second nerve, which is the facial nerve. So the first
one is the eyes, the second one is the face,
the third is the tongue. Well, we actually do a
nerve stimulator. We do different tongue exercises, movements, and different
(30:16):
tastes and noises. There's a lot we could do with
the tongue to stimulate this autonomic nervous system. Then the
fourth nuve is called your vagus nerve. That helps you
get into relaxed state to reduce stress mode. The easy
exercise you can do at home is gargling. If you
gargle really really loud, really intensely, and I may like
(30:38):
scare your neighbors loud, So do it in the shower
where you could be super massy. But that's actually gonna
relax your nervous system. It's gonna help your handle stress better.
It's gonna reduce anxiety. Another thing that's been proven to
reduce anxiety is drawing the infinity symbol like a figure
eight with your arms. That helps act your cerebellum part
(31:01):
of the brain. And that's for balanced coordination of movement,
but also coordination of thought. That's why it's very important
if you have thought problems, cognitive problems, to activate the
cerebellum part. But yeah, those are the four nerves for
the brainstem, the eyes, the face, the tongue, and the
vagus nerve. And you gotta work on all four of
(31:23):
those and if you do them together at the same time,
then you're gonna create this neuroplasticity change in your brain stem,
getting you out of this fight or flight mode into
a more relaxed rest and digest. So if you have
high blood pressure heart problems, you probably have a problem
in this autonomic nervous system. But what do most doctors
do just to give you high blood pressure medication?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Here, take this statin drug and what if the staton
drugs do. They help bring down your cholesterol. But when
you bring down to your cholesterol, that's not good because
that's gonna cause dementia. It's gonna cause some joint pain, like,
we need cholesterol. So there's a lot of side effects
of the statin drugs and these cholesterol drugs that they
don't tell you about. One of the biggest ones being dementia.
(32:11):
I don't want dementia, and I'm assuming you don't want dementia.
So if you're on these cholesterol medications, that's a side effect.
So maybe you have to start looking into your health
and say, how can I naturally bring down my cholesterol
if I even want to do that. You know, it
used to be three hundred was high cholesterol. Then the
(32:36):
pharmaceutical companies decided to make it two hundred, so that
anyone above two hundred now will go on statin drugs.
And a lot of times I do that thing with
the high blood pressure, the lower the standards and more
people can get put on the medication. Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical
companies aren't necessarily out to save lives, their business trying
(33:00):
to make money. So do we actually want to take
their recommendations about what health is Because to me, health
doesn't come in a bottle. Your health comes from inside.
Your health comes from your mental attitude, from your physical movements,
(33:23):
from what we take to our food, to our water,
to our air, to the people we hang out with,
to what our activities are, our stimulations are Are we
doing new activities? Are we always doing the same thing
over and over again? You want your brain to get weak.
Keep doing the same thing every week. You want your
(33:43):
brain to get strong. Do something new every day of
your life. Do something new every week, go place, go
a new place every month, Meet new people every month,
do new things every year. Change it up. Novelty, That's
the number one most important thing to improve your memory.
It's always the number one question I get. What's the
(34:05):
number one most important thing I could do to prevent
dementia prevent memory loss? It's novelty. You gotta do new
things right? And what is new things? It could be
anything right like learn a new skill, take on a
(34:27):
new hobby, meet a new person, take a new class,
learn a new language, learn a new dance move, learn
a new musical instrument, learn how to sell, learn how
to garden, learn how to cook, learn carpentry, learn construction,
(34:51):
learn how to do electricity, learn how to do coding,
learn how to do computer work, learn how to use AI.
You know, just learn something new, something productive. It's going
to help you in life. It's not just about doing
a crossword puzzle every day that's not new. Do something
(35:13):
that you've never done before, all right, We got to
make sure that we really challenge our brain by doing
new activities. And even if within the old activities, make
it new, you know, just like, take a new route
to work that you've never done, you know, brush your
(35:36):
teeth with your left hand, never done it before, you know,
make a new lunch that you've never had before. Right,
so just you know, do a new game instead of
doing the crossword puzzle. Try something you've never done before,
like sudoku or something like that. But new novelty is
the key to prevention of dementia. For depression, the key
(36:02):
is progression. You got to make progress in your life.
Whether it's at the gym, whether it's at your relationships,
whether it's at work, whether it's in your bank account,
whether it's in your spirituality, whether it's in your charity.
Just make progress in some aspect in your life. The
(36:27):
key for anxiety is distraction. You don't want to ruminate
on these things in the future that aren't even affecting
you now. So the key's distraction. Get your mind occupied
with something else. Go take the dog for a walk,
(36:48):
Go to the kitchen and get a glass of water.
Go put on some music, Go read a book, talk
to a friend, go for a bike ride, just do
something to get your mind off whatever's making you anxious.
(37:09):
So the key to anxiety is distraction. The key to
depression is progression. The key to memory is novelty. Okay,
those are the big three. And if you follow the suggestions,
not only do you function better now, but you prevent
(37:32):
future problems because your brain can get stronger, just like
your muscle can get stronger, but you got to use it.
You use it or you lose it. Right, So it's
a process called neuroplasticity where we could get your brain
stronger so you can function better, feel better, and live
a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're
(37:55):
listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
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
(38:21):
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
(38:44):
medicines and risky surgeries. To contact doctor Caplan, 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 3 (38:56):
Function Banner, Feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Aplin, and you're listening to boost your
brain power, all right. So we're talking about the different
areas of the brain and how to strengthen them and
how to stimulate them. One of the areas, which means
mini brain, is called your cerebellum. Your cerebellum is the
(39:22):
small part of the brain, but it's got more neurons
in it than the whole cerebral cortex put together. Because
it's like the director of the whole body coordinates everything.
It coordinates all your thoughts, all your movements, all your activities,
all your actions. It's even working before you even think
your brain is activated. So a lot of your things
(39:45):
that you do, your cerebellum already tells you to do
it before you even think about it yourself. It's kind
of scary, but that's what the neuroscience has shown. So
the cerebellum. Uh, when people have troubles with this, this
is like when you're drunk, right, So you might get angry,
you might slur your words, you might say stupid things.
(40:08):
You might have some balance problems, you're walking awkwardly, you
might not be coordinated, you might be likely to fall,
you might get dizzy. Right, So it's like a lot
of things that happen when you're drunk. Because the cerebellum,
like we says, it's got more neurons in it needs
more oxygen than anything. So when you drink alcohol, that's
(40:31):
the first part of the brain that gets really hit.
So then the police they're going to do like these
brain tests, but they's say, oh, touch your finger to
your nose and stand on one leg, and so this
is checking your cerebellum. See how well coordinated you are,
because if your Sarah bllum's not working, then you shouldn't
be driving. And if the alcohol is im vibed, then
you're going to actually fail at these cerebellar tests. But
(40:55):
you don't have to be drunk to have some balance problems,
and you don't't have to be drunk to slur your words.
You don't have to be drunk to get some dizzyness.
So a lot of these symptoms occur because your cerebellum's
not working as well as it should. And the easy
exercise is to do for the cerebellum. Here you guys,
try this at home. Take your and this is for
your left cerebellum. Take your left leg and draw clockwise
(41:19):
circles and then with your left hand draw the number six.
So you gotta really coordinate. This is tough, and watch
out for that leg to go the other direction. So
you've got to go clockwise with the left leg and
then draw big number six in the air with your
left hand, and you'll see a lot of times when
you draw the six, then you start to reverse the
(41:39):
leg there. So you just do this for thirty seconds,
three times a day. That's good for your cerebellum, which
can have with balance, coordination, and muscle tone. You're sarrebellums
responsible for muscle tone. So a lot of times when
you have a weakness or you have pain, back pain,
neck pain, a lot of times it's coming from your
(42:00):
are bone there because if you have one side of
your body that has bigger muscle tone than the other,
it's going to cause a misalignment. It's gonna pull the
bones out of position, that's gonna impinge upon the nerves. Right,
So there's a lot of things that can cause pain.
Usually it's either the bones, the muscles, the nerves, but
usually it stems from this brain stem, the brains cerebellum.
(42:23):
You know, the balances are left and the right side.
But how are we going to know this well? We
have to do neurologic testing to figure out which part
of the brains are working well and which part of
the brains are not working well. The best test to
determine which parts of the brain are working well and
which are not is called a qEEG brain mapping, and
(42:46):
this measures your different brain waves, your alpha, beta, beta delta,
the alpha brain waves are how you're just kind of
normally functioning in the everyday world. The beta brain waves
there become or present when you got to really focus
and think and concentrate. You're presenting something, you're giving a talk,
(43:06):
you're studying for the test, whatever it may be, you're
going to really focus and think the thing. That's when
you're just kind of daydreaming. You know, you're just looking
at the window, you're just listening to the birds chirp,
You're kind of daydreaming in la la land. And a
delta is when you're you know, relaxed, you're sleeping. You know,
(43:27):
you need your brain, you're kind of shutting it off
so you can reoxygenate, rejuvenate, replenish, detoxify, all that good
stuff there. So the qEEG brain mapping measures all these
different brain waves and based on the abnormal brain waves,
(43:48):
but more importantly than the abnormal brainwaves is the location
of the abnormal brain waves. So based on the location
of the abnormal brain waves, we can actually determine which
the areas of the brain are functioning at good high
levels and which of the areas of the brain are
not functioning as well as they're supposed to. And it
(44:09):
would break it down from the frontal the parietal, the
term prole the occipital, so we'd figure out, hey, do
we have an issue in the cerebellum and the brain
stamp and they'll tell us, Hey, you're gonna have sleep deprivation,
You're gonna have anxiety, you're gonna have difficulty with focus, motivation,
organization planning. You're gonna have difficulty with hearing and vision.
You're gonna have low dopamine or lowes setyl coline. You're
(44:31):
gonna have a thyroid problem or intestinal inflammation. It literally
breaks down everything. I love this test. Is it short
term memory problems long term working memory? Because you know,
we gotta figure out you can't wait to say memory.
You're gonna say what type of memory problems, what type
of reading problems, what type of comprehension problems. So it
literally breaks down everything. And it's normally six hundred dollars,
(44:56):
but for the first seven people to call, text or email,
you could get get the qEEG brain mapping for only
twenty one dollars. So you can call or text. The
number is two zero one two six one two one
five zero. If they don't pick up right away, just
leave a message, just say you want to be one
of the first seven calls, because we'll get a lot
(45:16):
of calls, So just leave a message and as long
as you're one of the first seven, you could get
that test and you can text us there just say hey,
I want to be one of the first seven to
get the QEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars.
That's going to measure all our different brainways and tell
us which are which areas are working well, which areas
are not working well. And then I'll teach you what
(45:37):
you could do on your own without any pills, without
any medication, without any supplements or herbs, without any testing
like MRIs or cats, cancer, up radiation or contrast fluid.
So we just tell you in a natural and holistic
way how to stimulate those weak areas on your own,
so you don't need any doctors or pills to heal yourself.
(45:59):
That you could heal on your own, all right, So
just make sure you call or if you want, you
can email to that works. The email is info at
Kaplandbrain and Body dot com to say you want to
be one of the first time of people to do
the qEEG brain mapping. Now there's another could test which
is called a VNG or a VOG video ociolography, and
(46:22):
this measures your eye movements and when the eye moods
go fast and slow, and they go right and left,
and they go up and down, and then light and dark,
and when had movements and you know, in all different
positions and speeds and angles, so that we can analyze
the difference between the left brain and the right brain.
(46:43):
And that is very valuable information because we were talking
about before. Sometimes we only want to do things on
one side. So let's say I'm trying to stimulate the
right brain. The VOG is gonna tell me that, and
it's then I'm gonna know. Okay, Now, I'm only going
to do smell in the right nostril. I'm only gonna
do sound and the left side of space or this set.
(47:07):
I'm only going to do light from the left field
of space, and I'm only going to do the movements
on the left side of the body or the touch
therapy on the left side of the body. I'm only
going to spin to the left direction or whatever i
have to do. So this test helps to pick up
which side is weak and which side is overactive. Right,
(47:30):
So let's say if one side is overactive. That's going
to affect sleep. They might get sleep deprivation and Sobomnie
have to wake up to pe once or twice a night,
might have to have heart palpitations. You might have anxiety,
might worry, mind, might race, you know a million miles,
but I'm always worried about the next thing. And you know,
can't relax and can't meditate and can't chill, and you know,
(47:53):
always going going going, and muscle spasm and inflammation, and
you know that could be overactive bread. The VNG picks
that up, or it might pick up an underactivate anyway,
it might be depression, fatigue, low motivation. You know, there
might be really uh stuff that's underactive there. So you
(48:19):
might have low energy. You might have slow metabolism, difficulty,
you know, losing weight. You might have a lot of
stuff that is, you know, your memory's bad, your plane
fig that results from underactive grain man and the VOG
(48:41):
or the VNG picks that up. That's why I really
like that test. Therefore we might only do that, you know,
one little test on one side right that really helps
us out. Now, this v G is also normally six
hundred dollars, but for the first seven people to call,
(49:04):
text or email. You could get the VNG for only
twenty one dollars. That's right, it's normally six hundred dollars.
You can get it for twenty one dollars. The number
to call or text is two zero one two six
one two one five zero, or you can email info
at kaplombraindebody dot com. The next test is a one
(49:30):
on one with men yours truly, and what I do
is I go over the VMNG, I go over the QEG.
I go over if you've had blood work or MRIZ,
anything you've done. You don't have to, you know, do
anything that you haven't done so far, but anything that
you've done will go over it, and then I'll let
you know, Hey, this is your diagnosis. I'll let you
(49:53):
know because I'm also gonna listen to your heart, your lungs,
your gut. I'm gonna check out your memory and your coordination.
I'm gonna check out your posture, your brain, your motion.
We're going to check out how your blood flow is,
your circulation, your oxygen levels. Check out your bones, your muscles,
your nerves, check out each lobe of the brain, or
gonna do a whole analysis, So one on one with me,
(50:13):
I'm gonna give your diagnosis, your prognosis, or give you
my recommendations. All my recommendations are holistic and natural, so
I don't you ever suggest surgeries or medications. We try
and just let the body heal itself. So don't come
to me if you're just looking for a quick fix
for just a prescription pill. That's not what I do.
(50:35):
Come for me if you want answers, if you want
to figure out what's wrong, and if you want to
know how to help yourself so you can heal the
body on your own. If you like what you've heard,
you could also buy my book. It's called Boost Your
Brain Power, a Guide for improving your memory and focus.

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, there's a lot of different parts of
the brain, and the brain is very complicated. So what
we have to do is figure out what part of
(00:40):
the brain isn't functioning well. Once we could figure out
which part of the brain isn't functioning well, we could
come up with exercises to stimulate those weak areas. So
I'm sort of like a physical therapist, but for the brain.
So instead of going to the gym and doing bicep
(01:01):
curls and stretching and strengthening, We're gonna be doing neurologic
exercises to stimulate the weak areas of the brain. This
process is called neuroplasticity and can rewire the brain. It
used to be thought that once these brain deteriorated, damaged
(01:25):
stroke and stuff like that, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, that there's nothing
you could do about it. But that's the old way
of thinking. Ever since two thousand, we've known about neuroplasticity.
We can actually get your brain stronger. You could rewire
your brain. You could create more connections, more synapses, more mitochondria,
(01:46):
more blood flow, more circulation, more serotonin, more dopamine, more oxytocin,
more endorphins, all those good chemicals we can increase. But
you got to strengthen it, just like you could strengthen
a muscle. But you have to figure out which area
(02:07):
of the brain needs the help first. Now, let's say
there's a problem in your frontal cortex. Your frontal cortex
is right in the front of your brain, basically where
your forehead is. The frontal cortex is responsible for focus.
So let's say you have troubles with focus. You know
(02:29):
how you have ADD or ADHD, or you get distracted easily.
You know you have difficulty with concentration, it's hard to
focus when reading. Then you might have a problem in
your frontal cortex. Right, So if you have a problem
in your frontal cortex, there's exercises you could do to
(02:50):
strengthen the frontal cortex. The three best things that the
frontal cortex likes is smell and quick eye movements they're
called cycads, and also different hand movements. You know. So
(03:13):
what you do is you could do some sort of
essential oils. Make sure it's a quality company such as
Dotera or Young Living. Most of those companies have a
lot of chemicals in them, so you don't want that.
And the cool part is, let's say if you're trying
(03:33):
to stimulate the right frontal cortex, you would do smell
just in the right nostral, but if you're doing the
left frontal cortex, you would do smell just in the
left nostril. I'm gonna if you stick around to the
end of the show, I'm gonna tell you how you
could actually analyze the brain to figure out is it
the right side or the left side. Therefore you would
know which nostril to smell. Now, we also said the
(03:57):
frontal cortex likes quick eye movements, so you could just like, uh,
look at a picture frame and you go from one,
you know, the right part of the picture frame. You
say one, two, three, and as quick as you can
go to the left part of the picture frame. That's
a quick eye movement and then hand gesture, hand movements,
(04:17):
finger movements. Uh. You know, you guys can try this
at home. So do a piece sign with your left hand,
like just two fingers up, and then do an OK
sign with your right hand. That's where you you know,
put up three fingers and then you make an O
with your index finger and your thumb. So you got
(04:38):
one side is piece, one side is okay, and then
you count to three one two three, and then at
the same exact time you switch where you make the
other side piece and then switch to the other side
to the okay and they say one, two three and switch.
So that's using your brain using your fingers. Very good
for the frontal cortex. Those three things are the most
(05:01):
important for the frontal cortex. Smell, quick eye movements, and
hand movements. Complicated hand movements. And I got thousands of
these complicated hand movements that we do in our offices
in New York and in New Jersey and we do
over our virtual visits. So if you want to increase
(05:21):
focus that comes from your frontal cortex, we'd have to
do frontal cortex exercises. Other things that are related to
the frontal cortex. Our memory. You're especially your working memory.
So when people say, ah, you know, my memory's not
doing as good as it used to do, they say, oh, man,
(05:42):
am I just getting old and my brain's not working
as good. I that is my pet peeve. I do
not like when people blame things on their age. Your
memory can get better as you get older. You just
got to do the work. Your focus can get better
(06:03):
as you get older. So many people said, oh, I
can't focus like I used to when I was younger,
because your brain is weak. It's not as strong as
it used to be. Now you're going to strengthen it.
It's not gonna get stronger by not doing anything. It's
called neuroplasticity. You got to strengthen your brain. You got
to stimulate it. You got to exercise it. You got
(06:25):
to activate it. Just like a muscle, you use it
or you lose it. So if you want to improve
your memory, you do memory exercises. You want to improve
your focus, we have to do focus exercises. So just purposely,
you know, remember somebody's phone number. Don't look in your
(06:46):
contact list in your cell phone. You know, purposely remember
the address don't just put it in the GPS. You're
use your brain even though you don't have to. You know,
don't Google everything and YouTube everything. Try and do it
on your own, think of it on your own. The
(07:06):
more you use AI, the weaker your brain becomes. You're
letting the computer do all the work for you. You
want your brain get weaker and weaker. Use more AI, more, Google, more,
cell phone, more, YouTube, more social media that gets your
(07:30):
brain weaker. You want to get your brain stronger. Unplug,
get off your cell phone, get off Google, get off YouTube,
turn off your Wi Fi, turn off your five G
don't have any electronics, especially in your bedroom, turn it
all off. If you got to do your work, do
(07:52):
it during daylight hours nine to five, like they've done forever.
Get your work done nine to five. After that, turn
off all your electronics and that means TV too. No
more Netflix. Do something more productive for your brain. Take
a dance class, read a book, draw so sculpt, garden.
(08:21):
I don't care what it is. Do something creative, Do
something fun, play some cards with your family, a board game,
do stuff without electronics. Take the dog for a walk,
go shoot some hoops, kick the soccer, ball around, throw
the baseball, Go for a walk, go for a hike.
(08:45):
All your electronics, get it done. Nine to five. Get
your emails done, your text messages, your calls, your zooms.
Get it all done from nine to five, and then unpluck.
If you want to get your brain stronger, if you
don't mind any up everyone else with dementia and Alzheimer's
and stroke and Parkinson's and cancer, go for it. You
(09:06):
want to be the one percent that gets healthier and
healthier as they get older and older. You gotta work
for it. Your health isn't given to you. You gotta
work for it. But keep it simple. It's not complicated.
Get your basics, get your sunlight, get your oxygen, get
your water, eat your fruits and your veggies. It's not complicated.
(09:30):
You want to get your brain stronger, though, start unplugging.
All right. So let's go back to the frontal cortex.
All right. So the frontal cortex is not all responsible
for focus and memory, but motivation. So people who have
troubles with motivation usually have a decrease activation of their
(09:52):
frontal cortex. People with time management problems, they can't get
stuff done, they're always late, can't be punctual that's also
from the frontal cortex. Abnormal social behavior, not understanding the
(10:16):
consequences of actions, depression, anxiety, the executive functions. Those are
all coming from your frontal cortex. Even language, your language
centers are in your frontal cortex. If you stutter, you know,
(10:40):
not saying the right words, a lot of reading and dyslexia,
that type of stuff comes from the frontal cortex. People
with autism, that comes from the frontal cortex. People with
add ADHD comes from the frontal cortex. These are all
developmental delays where the frontal cortex isn't communicating properly. And
(11:05):
then the reverse happens as we get older, where you
get frontal temporal dementia, people start losing their memory, slower
reaction time, humped over posture for a movement right, That
all comes from the frontal cortex. So if we figure
(11:27):
out they have a frontal cortex problem, now we could
give you a frontal core tex solution. This neuroplasticity is
not neuroscience. We figure out where the problem is and
then teach you how to stimulate those weak areas so
you can function better, feel better, and live a better life.

brain power? Now, we see a lot of patients with
sensory problems. And what's a sensory problem. You might have
(13:10):
floaters in the eyes. You might have sensitivity to light,
double vision, blurry beision, You might get headaches, dizziness, room
spinning or getting light headed. Your spinning, you feel like
you're on a boat, you're moving, you're bobbing, you're weaving.
(13:31):
Or you might have ringing in the ears, difficulty hearing,
or you might have sensitivity to certain sounds chewing food,
it's called mesophonia. You might have some balance problems, even falls,
even where he needed to walk with a cane or
(13:53):
a walker. He might have to hold onto things. You
might you know, take a second if you get up quick.
So these are all like balanced problems, vestibular problems. Those
are sensory issues. Or you might feel weird things like
numbness or tingling, or bugs crawling, or the wind blowing
(14:15):
or different shooting, pains and stabbing, pains and pulsatings and
burnings and numbness and tingling, all these weird sensations. So
we have sensory issues. Might be sensitive to smell, certain smells,
perfumes and chemicals and cigarettes, smoke, and where you just
(14:37):
can't handle these smells or even tastes or textures. You
can't handle certain foods. These are all sensory issues. You
see tons of these. They're all over the map, the
literal map, there's some atomographic map. And what it is
is we have these sensory issues. Sometimes it's from the thaumists.
(14:57):
Sometimes it's from your parietal cortex. You know, there's different
areas of the brain that can affect these different sensory
issues there. It could be in the brain stem, you know,
especially with the eyes and the ears. A lot of
a lot of different possibilities. But we have to figure
out which part of the brain's not functioning well and
(15:18):
which part of the brain is functioning well. When people
have an issue with the parietal cortex, a lot of
times they'll confuse their laps and their rights, or you know,
they come out of this subway and they don't know
which way is north and south and east and west.
There's the story beds to be of your own body,
(15:39):
but it's also sensorated the outside world as well. You know,
we gotta, you know, help these people by stimulating those
weak areas of the brain. It's called neuroplasticity and if
you do have a weak area, your parietal cortex, which
is the sensory cortex in your brain, kind of sits
on top of your head. So you have your frontal
(16:01):
which is like the forehead, and right behind it is
your parietal that's more the sensory and there's exercises you
could do to stimulate that sensory cortex. For example, you
could do what it's called gradh esthesia. A lot of
us to this as kids. You know, you draw different
letters or numbers on the back, on the arm and
the hand and the leg, and then with your eyes closed,
(16:24):
you have to identify what that letter is or what
that number is. It's a fun game, but it's actually
good for your brain. And if you have balance problems
or these propial sceptive issues, or you have you know,
some pains in your neck and your back and you
have poor posture propial reception, these exercises might be appropriate
for you. Another exercise, uh, it's called stereognosis. This is
(16:48):
where that's a little fun game where you kind of
put a bunch of stuff in a bucket and you
gotta put your hands in there, pull something out, and
you gotta identify what it is. You know, you want
to make it real hard. You could do all different
types of writing utensils. You have a pencil, a pen,
a highlight, or a marker or a cran and you go, okay,
(17:11):
you got to figure out which one it is. Or
you could just do random so you have no idea
what it's going to be. You have a comb, you know,
you have a toothpick, you have a quarter, you have
an apple, you have a bottle cap, you have a pen,
(17:38):
you know, and then they just got to randomly pick
out of it with the eyes closed and identify it.
And you have the hands and the feet. You know,
you could have use your feet, and you just put
a bunch of balls on the ground, and you know
you have a tennis ball, a racquetball, a softball, a
golf ball, a whiffle ball, and you know you've got
to basically by feeling with the bottom of your foot,
identify what that is. Very good for your balance, very
(18:03):
good for your coordination, very good for your posture, your alignment,
very good for your pain, your inflammation. Like these type
of brain exercises, so you don't always heal with a
pill or a surgery. You know, most of the body
can heal itself. The power that made the body heals
the body. We don't need to intervene so much. Maybe
(18:26):
we just need to get rid of that interference. Maybe
we just need to strengthen the weak areas. Right, So,
just like you know, you gotta maintain your body. You
gotta brush your teeth every day. You gotta eat your
fruits and veggies and drink your water.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
You gotta get good sleep, right, you gotta help others
and relax and have some fun. So there's a lot
of just common things to do, you know, but no
one tells you how to stimulate your brain. When your
brain controls everything, right, So we have to exercise our
brain just like we exercise our muscles. Just like you
take care of your teeth. It's like you get your
(19:03):
sleep every night, get your rest. You kinda take care
of your brain. You gotta take care of that brain
to make it strong. It's called neuroplasticity. Now, some people
outside of the parietal cortex might have been ensure the
temporal cortex that's like on the side, like by your
ears basically, and that can affect your hearing, can affect
(19:26):
your balance, your memory. So your short term memory is
more on the superior part of the temporal cortex, and
then your long term memory it's more in the inferior,
the lower part of that temporal core tex. That's where
we have frontal temporal dimension. All these memory problems come
from your temporal core tex, and that might affect even
(19:49):
your balance. You're hearing like it tonight. Is So it's not.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Always the memory that goes first. Sometimes all these other
things that are affected, and then we gotta strengthen that,
and that prevents dementia Alzheimer's. So that's the thing. Alzheimer's
takes about forty years to develop. So we got to
do brain therapy now before your memory starts to know, right,
(20:19):
So if your memory starts to go at sixty, that
means it started at twenty. Your memory starts to go
at seventy, right, I mean it started at thirty, So
it starts early. It's got to intervene when you're young.
But even if you are sixty or seventy, it's still
reversible through this neuroplasticity. It just takes longer. The earlier
(20:42):
you start, the better, and earlier is preconception. Right. If
you want true health, it starts from that healthy sperm.
So I tell and all my you know, want to
be parents before you even start trying to get pregnant.
You want to get that healthy. So make sure the
guy doesn't drink alcohol, coffee, sugar, preservatives, chemicals, no stress,
(21:08):
gets good sleep, drinks water, good hydration, so it's in
super super healthy shape for at least a month before
you start trying to conceive. And the same thing goes
for the female. You just want to have that healthy
environment for the egg, right, You don't want to whole acidic, inflammatory,
(21:28):
no hydration, no blood flow. We want a good environment
for that egg, so when the sperm gets there, it
can grow in a really nice environment. And then when
the woman's pregnant, that's the most important part for brain development.
So mom is stressed when she's pregnant, that means baby's
gonna get stressed before they're even born. So I'm gonna
(21:49):
make sure that mom's stress is super low before pregnancy,
during pregnancy, and obviously after pregnancy, TiO, because if she's
given stressed out milk to the baby, then the baby
he's gonna get stressed out all as well. All right,
So stress is the silent killer. It causes everything. It
causes stroke, it causes heart attack, causes cancer, causes Alzheimer's.
(22:13):
Stress is the silent killer everyone's looking for all these causes.
It's stress. So we've got to reduce your stress levels.
Super important there, all right. So you got your frontals
in the front, you got your parietals kind of on top.
Right behind the frontal on the side of your head
(22:33):
is your temporal cortex, and the fourth lobe of the
brain is called your occipital cortex. That's in the back,
and that's for vision, all right. So you know, if
you have visual problems, eye problems, you might have an
issue in your occipital lobe. And the occipital lobe interprets
everything we see, and the eyes are very very important.
(22:54):
You know. That's like the window into your nervous system.
The eyes. You know, we could tell all the different
lobes of the brain are functioning from the eyes. So
that's why we do some of these eye tests so
to actually figure out and analyze the brain. You know,
if the eyes are yellow, you can tell there's a
liver problem. You can tell if there's a heart problem.
By looking in the eyes with the opt the molescope.
(23:17):
We have the eyes twitching, we know there's some stress there.
You can tell how the pupils when they open and close.
You know that brain is reacting. Your brain stem. You
know there's The eyes can tell us almost about every
part of your brain in your body. So we do
a lot of eye exercises in our office. We analyze
(23:37):
the eyes a lot. Now, the eyes are the way
you got vitamin D. So if you wear glasses, what
you gotta do is take your glasses off and then
when you go outside, let the sun hit the pupil,
which is the black part of your eye. You have
contact lines, got to take up those contact lenes and
let the sun hit the eye because if you don't,
(24:01):
let the sun hit that black part, because that black
pupil is a hole and that's how the sun gets
into the brain. But if you're covering it with sunglasses
or reading glasses, our vision glasses, contact lenses or anything
like that, you're not gonna get your proper sunlight and
your proper vitamin D. So at least ten minutes a day,
(24:22):
take off your glasses, go outside and make sure the
sun hits your eyes to maximize your vitamin D levels.
Because your vitamin D is good for your brain, helps
prevent dementia. It's good for your thyroid, helps with your hormones.
It's good for your immune system, helps prevent the lime, covid,
the flu, pneumonia. So you need vitamin D for almost
(24:45):
every process in your body. So you could function, banner,
feel banner, and lit a better lot. This is doctor

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Function Banner, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. Now, we were just talking about how stress
is the silent killer. Now, how do we know if
you can't handle your stress properly? It usually comes from
(26:17):
what's called your brain stem or your autonomic nervous system.
Your autonomic nervous system is split into two parts. You
have your sympathetic nervous system and your powasympathetic nervous system.
Your sympathetic nervous system is what we call the fight
or flight mode. That's when you're in stress. That's when
(26:40):
you're you know, running to catch the subway. That's when
you're you know, fighting someone off. That's when you are
in a competitive sport and you have to run as
fast as you can to the finish line.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
It's when we're you know, someone's trying to mug us
and we have to get out of the way. You know,
when the lines hunting us. We got to hide behind
the tree. You know, that's when we want to fight
or flight mode, which hopefully for you, is very very
rare where you're barely in that fight or flight mode.
Most of the time, we want to be in what's
(27:16):
called your para sympathetic state, which is the rest and
digest breed and breed. So if you have troubles with sleep,
if you have anxiety, you have digested problems, you have
difficulty breathing asthma, bronchitis, you have difficulty with hormones, getting pregnant,
(27:38):
abnormal cycle, cramping, irritability, pain during your period, morning sickness
during pregnancy, you know, lack of libido, rectile dysfunction, any
of these hormone issues, then you might have an issue
in your autonomic nervous system. Right, So it's thematic nervous system.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Right.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
We don't think about how much testosterone to produce. We
don't think about you know, how to get aroused. It
happens automatically. Right. You don't think about your how much
blood pressure to have your heart does it automatically. We
don't think about how fast to breathe your lungs. Do
it automatically. It all comes from your brain stem. It
all comes from this autonomic nervous system. And when people
(28:24):
have panic, stress, anxiety, insomnia, a drenal fatigue, poor digestion,
urinary frequency, urgency, leakage accidents, you have hormonal problems, diabetes,
(28:46):
blood problems, gall bladder issues, gallstones, kidney stones, all that
stuff that's from your autonomic nervous system. All right, So
if we figure out that you have a problem with
your autonomic nervous system, we're gonna rewire brain. It's called neuroplasticity.
So just like you could strengthen your frontal cortex by
(29:08):
doing brain exercises, you could strengthen your autonomic nervous system
by doing other brain exercises. So if you're stuck in
this stress mode, this fireflight mode, and you're not getting
good sleep and digestion and all the stuff we spoke about,
you might have to work on these four nerves. One
of the nerves is called the ocular motor nerve, and
that's the eyes. So you have to do eye exercises,
(29:30):
but they're specific eye exercises. You know. I see all
these people, you know, going on YouTube and they do
these eye exercises where they look right and left and
up and down and think that they're gonna be fixing
their autonomic nervous system. But it's not gonna happen like that.
So there's a lot of different exercises that have to
be done, but it all depends on your weakness. There.
(29:52):
The second nerve has to do with the face, so
we got to do some sensory and motor like touch
and movement. We wrote what's called this trait is your ear.
We do this blink reflex. This is good for the
second nerve, which is the facial nerve. So the first
one is the eyes, the second one is the face,
the third is the tongue. Well, we actually do a
nerve stimulator. We do different tongue exercises, movements, and different
(30:16):
tastes and noises. There's a lot we could do with
the tongue to stimulate this autonomic nervous system. Then the
fourth nuve is called your vagus nerve. That helps you
get into relaxed state to reduce stress mode. The easy
exercise you can do at home is gargling. If you
gargle really really loud, really intensely, and I may like
(30:38):
scare your neighbors loud, So do it in the shower
where you could be super massy. But that's actually gonna
relax your nervous system. It's gonna help your handle stress better.
It's gonna reduce anxiety. Another thing that's been proven to
reduce anxiety is drawing the infinity symbol like a figure
eight with your arms. That helps act your cerebellum part
(31:01):
of the brain. And that's for balanced coordination of movement,
but also coordination of thought. That's why it's very important
if you have thought problems, cognitive problems, to activate the
cerebellum part. But yeah, those are the four nerves for
the brainstem, the eyes, the face, the tongue, and the
vagus nerve. And you gotta work on all four of
(31:23):
those and if you do them together at the same time,
then you're gonna create this neuroplasticity change in your brain stem,
getting you out of this fight or flight mode into
a more relaxed rest and digest. So if you have
high blood pressure heart problems, you probably have a problem
in this autonomic nervous system. But what do most doctors
do just to give you high blood pressure medication?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Here, take this statin drug and what if the staton
drugs do. They help bring down your cholesterol. But when
you bring down to your cholesterol, that's not good because
that's gonna cause dementia. It's gonna cause some joint pain, like,
we need cholesterol. So there's a lot of side effects
of the statin drugs and these cholesterol drugs that they
don't tell you about. One of the biggest ones being dementia.
(32:11):
I don't want dementia, and I'm assuming you don't want dementia.
So if you're on these cholesterol medications, that's a side effect.
So maybe you have to start looking into your health
and say, how can I naturally bring down my cholesterol
if I even want to do that. You know, it
used to be three hundred was high cholesterol. Then the
(32:36):
pharmaceutical companies decided to make it two hundred, so that
anyone above two hundred now will go on statin drugs.
And a lot of times I do that thing with
the high blood pressure, the lower the standards and more
people can get put on the medication. Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical
companies aren't necessarily out to save lives, their business trying
(33:00):
to make money. So do we actually want to take
their recommendations about what health is Because to me, health
doesn't come in a bottle. Your health comes from inside.
Your health comes from your mental attitude, from your physical movements,
(33:23):
from what we take to our food, to our water,
to our air, to the people we hang out with,
to what our activities are, our stimulations are Are we
doing new activities? Are we always doing the same thing
over and over again? You want your brain to get weak.
Keep doing the same thing every week. You want your
(33:43):
brain to get strong. Do something new every day of
your life. Do something new every week, go place, go
a new place every month, Meet new people every month,
do new things every year. Change it up. Novelty, That's
the number one most important thing to improve your memory.
It's always the number one question I get. What's the
(34:05):
number one most important thing I could do to prevent
dementia prevent memory loss? It's novelty. You gotta do new
things right? And what is new things? It could be
anything right like learn a new skill, take on a
(34:27):
new hobby, meet a new person, take a new class,
learn a new language, learn a new dance move, learn
a new musical instrument, learn how to sell, learn how
to garden, learn how to cook, learn carpentry, learn construction,
(34:51):
learn how to do electricity, learn how to do coding,
learn how to do computer work, learn how to use AI.
You know, just learn something new, something productive. It's going
to help you in life. It's not just about doing
a crossword puzzle every day that's not new. Do something
(35:13):
that you've never done before, all right, We got to
make sure that we really challenge our brain by doing
new activities. And even if within the old activities, make
it new, you know, just like, take a new route
to work that you've never done, you know, brush your
(35:36):
teeth with your left hand, never done it before, you know,
make a new lunch that you've never had before. Right,
so just you know, do a new game instead of
doing the crossword puzzle. Try something you've never done before,
like sudoku or something like that. But new novelty is
the key to prevention of dementia. For depression, the key
(36:02):
is progression. You got to make progress in your life.
Whether it's at the gym, whether it's at your relationships,
whether it's at work, whether it's in your bank account,
whether it's in your spirituality, whether it's in your charity.
Just make progress in some aspect in your life. The
(36:27):
key for anxiety is distraction. You don't want to ruminate
on these things in the future that aren't even affecting
you now. So the key's distraction. Get your mind occupied
with something else. Go take the dog for a walk,
(36:48):
Go to the kitchen and get a glass of water.
Go put on some music, Go read a book, talk
to a friend, go for a bike ride, just do
something to get your mind off whatever's making you anxious.
(37:09):
So the key to anxiety is distraction. The key to
depression is progression. The key to memory is novelty. Okay,
those are the big three. And if you follow the suggestions,
not only do you function better now, but you prevent
(37:32):
future problems because your brain can get stronger, just like
your muscle can get stronger, but you got to use it.
You use it or you lose it. Right, So it's
a process called neuroplasticity where we could get your brain
stronger so you can function better, feel better, and live
a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're
(37:55):
listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
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
(38:21):
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
(38:44):
medicines and risky surgeries. To contact doctor Caplan, 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 3 (38:56):
Function Banner, Feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Aplin, and you're listening to boost your
brain power, all right. So we're talking about the different
areas of the brain and how to strengthen them and
how to stimulate them. One of the areas, which means
mini brain, is called your cerebellum. Your cerebellum is the
(39:22):
small part of the brain, but it's got more neurons
in it than the whole cerebral cortex put together. Because
it's like the director of the whole body coordinates everything.
It coordinates all your thoughts, all your movements, all your activities,
all your actions. It's even working before you even think
your brain is activated. So a lot of your things
(39:45):
that you do, your cerebellum already tells you to do
it before you even think about it yourself. It's kind
of scary, but that's what the neuroscience has shown. So
the cerebellum. Uh, when people have troubles with this, this
is like when you're drunk, right, So you might get angry,
you might slur your words, you might say stupid things.
(40:08):
You might have some balance problems, you're walking awkwardly, you
might not be coordinated, you might be likely to fall,
you might get dizzy. Right, So it's like a lot
of things that happen when you're drunk. Because the cerebellum,
like we says, it's got more neurons in it needs
more oxygen than anything. So when you drink alcohol, that's
(40:31):
the first part of the brain that gets really hit.
So then the police they're going to do like these
brain tests, but they's say, oh, touch your finger to
your nose and stand on one leg, and so this
is checking your cerebellum. See how well coordinated you are,
because if your Sarah bllum's not working, then you shouldn't
be driving. And if the alcohol is im vibed, then
you're going to actually fail at these cerebellar tests. But
(40:55):
you don't have to be drunk to have some balance problems,
and you don't't have to be drunk to slur your words.
You don't have to be drunk to get some dizzyness.
So a lot of these symptoms occur because your cerebellum's
not working as well as it should. And the easy
exercise is to do for the cerebellum. Here you guys,
try this at home. Take your and this is for
your left cerebellum. Take your left leg and draw clockwise
(41:19):
circles and then with your left hand draw the number six.
So you gotta really coordinate. This is tough, and watch
out for that leg to go the other direction. So
you've got to go clockwise with the left leg and
then draw big number six in the air with your
left hand, and you'll see a lot of times when
you draw the six, then you start to reverse the
(41:39):
leg there. So you just do this for thirty seconds,
three times a day. That's good for your cerebellum, which
can have with balance, coordination, and muscle tone. You're sarrebellums
responsible for muscle tone. So a lot of times when
you have a weakness or you have pain, back pain,
neck pain, a lot of times it's coming from your
(42:00):
are bone there because if you have one side of
your body that has bigger muscle tone than the other,
it's going to cause a misalignment. It's gonna pull the
bones out of position, that's gonna impinge upon the nerves. Right,
So there's a lot of things that can cause pain.
Usually it's either the bones, the muscles, the nerves, but
usually it stems from this brain stem, the brains cerebellum.
(42:23):
You know, the balances are left and the right side.
But how are we going to know this well? We
have to do neurologic testing to figure out which part
of the brains are working well and which part of
the brains are not working well. The best test to
determine which parts of the brain are working well and
which are not is called a qEEG brain mapping, and
(42:46):
this measures your different brain waves, your alpha, beta, beta delta,
the alpha brain waves are how you're just kind of
normally functioning in the everyday world. The beta brain waves
there become or present when you got to really focus
and think and concentrate. You're presenting something, you're giving a talk,
(43:06):
you're studying for the test, whatever it may be, you're
going to really focus and think the thing. That's when
you're just kind of daydreaming. You know, you're just looking
at the window, you're just listening to the birds chirp,
You're kind of daydreaming in la la land. And a
delta is when you're you know, relaxed, you're sleeping. You know,
(43:27):
you need your brain, you're kind of shutting it off
so you can reoxygenate, rejuvenate, replenish, detoxify, all that good
stuff there. So the qEEG brain mapping measures all these
different brain waves and based on the abnormal brain waves,
(43:48):
but more importantly than the abnormal brainwaves is the location
of the abnormal brain waves. So based on the location
of the abnormal brain waves, we can actually determine which
the areas of the brain are functioning at good high
levels and which of the areas of the brain are
not functioning as well as they're supposed to. And it
(44:09):
would break it down from the frontal the parietal, the
term prole the occipital, so we'd figure out, hey, do
we have an issue in the cerebellum and the brain
stamp and they'll tell us, Hey, you're gonna have sleep deprivation,
You're gonna have anxiety, you're gonna have difficulty with focus, motivation,
organization planning. You're gonna have difficulty with hearing and vision.
You're gonna have low dopamine or lowes setyl coline. You're
(44:31):
gonna have a thyroid problem or intestinal inflammation. It literally
breaks down everything. I love this test. Is it short
term memory problems long term working memory? Because you know,
we gotta figure out you can't wait to say memory.
You're gonna say what type of memory problems, what type
of reading problems, what type of comprehension problems. So it
literally breaks down everything. And it's normally six hundred dollars,
(44:56):
but for the first seven people to call, text or email,
you could get get the qEEG brain mapping for only
twenty one dollars. So you can call or text. The
number is two zero one two six one two one
five zero. If they don't pick up right away, just
leave a message, just say you want to be one
of the first seven calls, because we'll get a lot
(45:16):
of calls, So just leave a message and as long
as you're one of the first seven, you could get
that test and you can text us there just say hey,
I want to be one of the first seven to
get the QEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars.
That's going to measure all our different brainways and tell
us which are which areas are working well, which areas
are not working well. And then I'll teach you what
(45:37):
you could do on your own without any pills, without
any medication, without any supplements or herbs, without any testing
like MRIs or cats, cancer, up radiation or contrast fluid.
So we just tell you in a natural and holistic
way how to stimulate those weak areas on your own,
so you don't need any doctors or pills to heal yourself.
(45:59):
That you could heal on your own, all right, So
just make sure you call or if you want, you
can email to that works. The email is info at
Kaplandbrain and Body dot com to say you want to
be one of the first time of people to do
the qEEG brain mapping. Now there's another could test which
is called a VNG or a VOG video ociolography, and
(46:22):
this measures your eye movements and when the eye moods
go fast and slow, and they go right and left,
and they go up and down, and then light and dark,
and when had movements and you know, in all different
positions and speeds and angles, so that we can analyze
the difference between the left brain and the right brain.
(46:43):
And that is very valuable information because we were talking
about before. Sometimes we only want to do things on
one side. So let's say I'm trying to stimulate the
right brain. The VOG is gonna tell me that, and
it's then I'm gonna know. Okay, Now, I'm only going
to do smell in the right nostril. I'm only gonna
do sound and the left side of space or this set.
(47:07):
I'm only going to do light from the left field
of space, and I'm only going to do the movements
on the left side of the body or the touch
therapy on the left side of the body. I'm only
going to spin to the left direction or whatever i
have to do. So this test helps to pick up
which side is weak and which side is overactive. Right,
(47:30):
So let's say if one side is overactive. That's going
to affect sleep. They might get sleep deprivation and Sobomnie
have to wake up to pe once or twice a night,
might have to have heart palpitations. You might have anxiety,
might worry, mind, might race, you know a million miles,
but I'm always worried about the next thing. And you know,
can't relax and can't meditate and can't chill, and you know,
(47:53):
always going going going, and muscle spasm and inflammation, and
you know that could be overactive bread. The VNG picks
that up, or it might pick up an underactivate anyway,
it might be depression, fatigue, low motivation. You know, there
might be really uh stuff that's underactive there. So you
(48:19):
might have low energy. You might have slow metabolism, difficulty,
you know, losing weight. You might have a lot of
stuff that is, you know, your memory's bad, your plane
fig that results from underactive grain man and the VOG
(48:41):
or the VNG picks that up. That's why I really
like that test. Therefore we might only do that, you know,
one little test on one side right that really helps
us out. Now, this v G is also normally six
hundred dollars, but for the first seven people to call,
(49:04):
text or email. You could get the VNG for only
twenty one dollars. That's right, it's normally six hundred dollars.
You can get it for twenty one dollars. The number
to call or text is two zero one two six
one two one five zero, or you can email info
at kaplombraindebody dot com. The next test is a one
(49:30):
on one with men yours truly, and what I do
is I go over the VMNG, I go over the QEG.
I go over if you've had blood work or MRIZ,
anything you've done. You don't have to, you know, do
anything that you haven't done so far, but anything that
you've done will go over it, and then I'll let
you know, Hey, this is your diagnosis. I'll let you
(49:53):
know because I'm also gonna listen to your heart, your lungs,
your gut. I'm gonna check out your memory and your coordination.
