Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
brain power. We're going to talk about neuro inflammation and
cognitive decline. So many people are coming into my offices
(00:41):
with neuroinflammation and that coldad to Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, brain fog,
people losing their memory. They're blaming age when it's actually neuroinflammation.
And all that means is that the brain and the
nervous system is overactive. It's overfiring. It's on fire. That's
(01:04):
the inflammation. Inflammation gives out heat. That's why when you're sick,
you get hot. When you roll your ankle, it swells
up and I want you to ice it right. That's
the inflammation. It's overheated. You're gonna cool you down. So
(01:26):
one of the best ways to reduce neurow inflammation or
overheating of the brain and the body is through cold exposure.
There's these cryo therapy you could do. There is ice baths,
(01:48):
there are cold plunges, cold showers. The best neuroscience has
shown dipping your face in a bucket of ice water
that's fifty degrees fahrenheit gives you the quickest reaction there
(02:08):
when they do this in hospitals, actually, like somebody's having tachycardia,
which is a fast heart rate. You know, the beats
going one hundred eighty beats per minute. They put your
face in ice bets and within a minute your heart
rate goes from one hundred and eighty beats per minute
to sixty. Right, So ice on the face, So you
(02:32):
dip your face in an ice bucket or an ice
bowl at fifty degrees fahrenheit activates your power sympathetic nervous system,
reduces a high heart rate a paddic attack, and your
heart starts beating fast and you get really nervous. Your
heart starts beating fast. Ice cold exposure really good at
(02:57):
stimulating the brain because of neural or neffron. It stimulates
that release and then it reduces the inflammatory cytokinds. So
that's why people will say, okay, let's ice, you know,
after an injury because of the inflammation, all right, and
it helps numb the pain also, So not only is
(03:19):
reducing the inflammation, it numbs the pain. But you could
apply that for your brain. Right So, if your brain's
overheated and it's inflamed, you could put ice on your face.
If your whole body's inflamed, do a cold plunge and
(03:40):
your shower with cold. It makes a huge difference. It's
actually good for your skin. If you don't do it
your brain, at least do it for help reduce wrinkles. Okay,
so do cold every morning right when you wake up.
Splash your face with cold water. Every morning after your shower,
(04:02):
end with cold water. Every evening, right before bed, splash
your face with cold water. Find a time during the
day to put your face in a bowl of ice water.
Find a place to do a cold plunge. All right.
(04:24):
These are amazing therapies. You can even go to cryogenic
lamps and do when they just freeze you basically, so
there's lots of cold therapy. Cold is amazing, you know
for reducing neuro inflammation. It helps reduce microglial activation, which
(04:45):
is a key driver of neuroinflammation. And but even a
brief exposure, like we said, we just do thirty seconds
in the morning, thirty seconds at the shower, thirty seconds
in night, thirty seconds in the face. You know, do
an ice just for one minute. You know, that's all
you need to do. It doesn't have to be a lot.
(05:08):
The cold is good. And when it comes winter time,
you know, just for a minute or thirty seconds go
outside and you know, a shorts and t shirt, expose
yourself to cold. You don't want to just put on
the heater every time you're cold. You don't want to
just put on the coat every time you're cold. You
don't want to just put in your gloves or your
hat and always be comfortable. That's not good. And the
(05:32):
same thing with the heat. You don't always want to
put on the air conditioner when you're hot. All right,
starts suffering a little bit. Don't always eat when you're hungry.
You gotta suffer. Your body knows how to be resilience
is I can handle not eating at night. I can
(05:53):
handle cold exposure, I can handle heat exposure, can handle
the rain, the wind, the snow. I don't care what
you throw at me. The hurricanes fine, earthquakes, fine, we
can handle them. Your brain and your mindset are important.
(06:17):
If you worry, that's gonna increase narrow inflammation. The more
relaxed you are, the less inflamed your brain will be.
If the brain is inflamed, let's do some cold exposure.
Another thing that we could do is the way you eat. Right,
(06:37):
So what brings down inflammation. Omega threes, Those are amazing
at bringing down inflammation. Those are the fatty fish oils
and it's found in salmon's, sardines, flaxeed, walnuts, EPA and
DHA are especially critical for brain health. And when you
(06:58):
get the fish, make sure they're small less mercury. Okay,
that is the omega threes. If you're not getting in
your diet, you can always supplement. I like apex Energetics.
They are a good company. Other ways to get your
(07:18):
anti inflammatory diet on is just eating your colorful vegetables
and the berries. Eat all the strawberries, the blueberries, the blackberries,
the raspberries, the boys and berries. Eat all those berries.
They have antioxidants antose sygaines. That's scavenge free radicals. We
(07:43):
don't like those free radicals. These anti accidents will take
care of them for you. Vitamin C found in the
citrus fruits, right, so you get your orange orange, you know,
your red grapefruit, your yellow lemon, your green lime. Get
(08:05):
those colors, get those citruses, get those antioxidants. Very important
for neural inflammation. So we need these omega threes. We
need our antioxidants. Turmeric. Turmeric is amazing or curcumen. It's
(08:29):
a potent anti inflammatory spice and it's best absorbed with
black pepper. So when you combine black pepper with turmeric,
it gets absorbed better. And turmeric you could do a
(08:51):
lot of you're not going to overdo that. Very important.
One of the best match anti inflammatories risveratrol. That's another
amazing antiflammatory. It's also anti aging. Ris Veratrol is found
(09:15):
in Japanese mountweed. It's found in the skin of red grapes.
That's why you'll hear some people say, oh wine, red
wine is healthy. No, red wine is not healthy. The
skin of the red grapes is healthy. It's got the
resveratrol in it. But the amount of wine you'd have
(09:39):
to drink to get the benefit of there's veratrol is
counteracted by the damage done by the wine and the alcohol,
especially American wine. You drink California wine, that's the worst
thing you could have. Even the organic is full of chemicals.
You know, it's like never get anything in a America.
(10:00):
We just have the worst products everything, including the bad
stuff and the good stuff. You know, even our bad
stuff beer and wine are the worst in the world.
You know, even our oil cookies are worse than the
oil cookies in Germany. You know, our fruit loops are
worse than the fruit loops in Canada. You know, our
(10:21):
pop tarts are worse than the pop tarts in Spain.
You know, it's like even the bad stuff is even
worse in America. You know, Coca cola is much worse
in America than it is in Mexico. You know, it's
like the rules we have here just we have the
sickest people in the entire world in America. It's sad.
(10:45):
With the most doctors, the most medication, the most hospitals,
the most money spent in healthcare, most research done in healthcare,
yet we're the sickest country. We're the only country where
people are dying earlier. Most countries, people are living longer
and longer every year. Not in America. We're dying younger
(11:06):
and younger, and our babies die earlier than almost every
other developed country in the entire world. Our babies die
on day one more than any other country, and we
have the most sea sections, more than any other country.
Hm hmm. Interesting. The country with the most home birth
(11:27):
rates is the Netherlands. One out of every three babies
are born at home. In New York City, one out
of every three babies have a sea section. It's a
lot of money, it's a big business the Netherlands. They
care about their citizens, so one out of every three
are done at home, and they have the lowest infant
(11:50):
mortality rate in the entire world. The countries that have
the most home births have their young, their babies died
the least. And the countries that have the most intervention,
the most sea section, the most induced labors, the most suctioning,
most head clamps, the most pop in the water, most
(12:12):
medical intervention. We have the highest infit mortality rate of
all the developed countries. So do not follow the advice
that our doctors, our government and our news will tell
us about health. If you want to function better, feel better,
and live a better life, this is doctor Eric Caplan
(12:35):
and you're listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches,
brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your
human potential and prevent future diseases, that this is the
show for you. Don't mis boost your brain power with
doctor Eric Caplan and you will learn natural, integrative and
(13:01):
holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's stroke, autism, add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines,
four posture pain, TBI, skin and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan
is most famous for getting to the root cause of
a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than
(13:23):
treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To contact
the Doctor Kaplin, 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 3 (13:37):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
brain power, we're talking about neuroinflammation. How can we bring
down inflammation in the brain, Because if you have a
(13:58):
neurological disorder, you have inflammation. I don't care if it's autism,
add depression, anxiety, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's MS, I don't care what
it is. Whatever neurological condition you have, you have neuroinflammation,
or else you wouldn't have that condition. So the key
(14:21):
to all of those neurological conditions, even if it's just
brain fog, even if you just think, oh, my memory's gone,
but uh, I think it's age. Don't blame age. That's
the big lie. And they're all gonna tell you that, oh,
your memory just gets worse with age. It's not true.
Your memory could get better with age. But you gotta
(14:42):
work for it. You use it or you lose it.
You gotta challenge your brain. You gotta do novelty. If
you want to improve your memory, you gotta do novelty
new things every single day, every single day of your life.
You got to do at least one thing that you've
never done before. If you want to prevent dementia, If
you want to improve your memory, you better start doing
new things. It's not doing a crossword puzzle every day.
(15:06):
That's not new. You've done a crossword puzzle before. It's
not reading every day that's not new. You've read before.
Do something new that you've never ever done. Very important
if you want to improve your memory, prove your focus,
get rid of that brain fog. Prevent a mansion, prevent Alzheimer's.
(15:28):
We got to bring down neuro inflammation. Another thing that
brings down neuro inflammation is extra virgin olive oil. It
has polyphenoids and oleocanthal, a natural anti inflammatory. And don't worry,
(15:51):
fat doesn't make you fat. Your brain is made of
mostly fat. So we need a lot of fat. That's
why we said eat this ardi, the salmon, the walnuts.
We need this omega threes, those flax seeds. Now we're
telling you you gotta have extra virgin olive oil, have
(16:13):
some coconut oil. Your brain loves fat, it needs fat.
Your nerves love fat. They're covered in this mile in
cheap and the more fat you have, the better insulation
the nerve and the quicker those signals occur. So we
(16:35):
need lots of fat. In our diet. Avocado has lots
of fat. Olives have lots of fat, so increase your
fat intake. Okay. Green tea, it contains eg CG, which
has neuroprotective and anti flammatory effects. Green tea is a
(16:57):
die inflammatory extravert gnoal oil inflammatory anti inflammatory. Okay, these
things are so easy to do, but you gotta do
it now. Everyone's gonna probably like this one. Another anti
inflammatory is dark chocolate, but make sure you get eighty
(17:17):
five percent more. You don't want it full of sugar,
all right. So this is which inflavonoids, they cross the
blood brain barrier and reduce oxidative stress. If we can
get something to actually cross the blood brain barrier to
reduce oxidative stress, and it also feels good because it
(17:41):
increases your happiness hormones, and it's gonna reduce your neuroinflammation,
let's do it. Dark chocolate though, eighty five percent more.
No milk chocolate, no fifty to fifty, no seventy thirty.
We don't want all this sugar, okay. I know dark
chocolate's bitter. That's why you could do you know, eighty
five fifteen something like that. Okay, but that's a natural
(18:06):
anti inflammatory, so we could get it through our diet
and its veratrol. Yeah, you're gonna be eating Japanese not weed. No,
so you can get you know, supplementation. We have that
at our office. If you want turmeric, you know, that's
a spice, you can get it like the Indian health
food store. But yeah, you know, if you don't do
(18:27):
it like, you can always supplement you know, your antioxidants,
your turmeric, yours, veratrol, you can supplement them. But it's
better to always get it natural. Okay, And make sure
we avoid and limit ultra processed foods, anything in boxes
and cans and bags. You know, those little cured meats.
(18:49):
Don't get you know, all these chicken and steak that's
full of steroids and antibiotics. Don't fill up your whole
body with all these refined sugars, the seed oils. Get
rid of seed oils, the soybean oil, the canola oil,
all those oil sapflower oil, sunflower oil, you know, vegetable oil.
(19:14):
Get rid of it. All the pam there. You know,
we gotta get rid of these seed oils. You can,
like we said, use extra version olive oil or coconut
oil or even avocado oil. Okay, you can use those oils,
but that's it, all right, stay away from all these oils.
(19:38):
They're highly inflammatory for the brain, so we really want
to avoid that. Okay, all right. Now, another thing that's
important to reduce inflammation is to get that deep sleep
that r e M. Rapid eye movements, those delta brain waves.
(20:00):
When you get your sleep, you're gonna reduce that neuro inflammation.
If you're upscrolling, you know, from ten pm to twelve midnight,
that's not good. You're not getting your deeper, storative sleep.
You're gonna increased cortisol, which is the stress homeowner, that's
gonna interrupt you getting that deep sleep. If you eat
(20:22):
snacks at nine pm, that's going to interrupt your deep sleep.
So we want to do intermittent fasting where you only
eat from ten am to six pm and you only
use electronics from ten am to six pm. That means
check your emails, your Facebook, your Instagram, your TikTok, check
(20:44):
your YouTube videos, send your text messages, go on your Google,
you know, all do all that stuff from ten am
to six pm. Okay, do not go on the TV
at night to watch Netflix. Do not go on the
computer at night to scroll. Do not go on your
cell phone to start texting people. We want to unplug
(21:10):
at night. Turn off your Wi Fi. In fact, you
shouldn't even have Wi Fi. You know. Now just go
back to the old school Ethernet cables and you could
do these cool inventions these days where you can get
Ethernet in each room just by using this like adaptable plug.
So stop using the Wi Fi signals. Those are toxic.
(21:31):
Start using the wired signals. Start using Ethernet. Okay, when
you're on your cell phone, turn off your Wi Fi.
You don't need your Wi Fi. If you're talking on
your phone and you got your phone next to your head,
you got Wi Fi signals, you got five G data.
I mean, you're literally causing brain cancer. Leukemia used to
(21:55):
be the number one cause of children forever. It's been
ukemia until this year. Now it's brain cancer for kids.
Kids are literally getting more brain cancer than ever. Children
from five to eighteen are getting brain cancer more than ever.
(22:21):
Wake up. Do not let your kids use their cell phone,
especially if they're talking on it next to their head
where they're listening to music. We gotta get rid of
cell phones, especially for a developing brain. Get rid of
(22:42):
that radiation. Don't let them use the laptops on their
lap unless you want your little boy getting testicular cancer,
your little girl getting ovarian cancer. Right, don't put your
cell phone in your front pocket unless you want to
(23:02):
radiate your ovaries and your testicles. Don't put it in
your front chest pocket, not unless you want lung cancer
or heart disease. These cell phones are radiation. They call
it neural inflammation. Don't use the bluetooth either, use your speaker,
use your wire headphones. Don't use your bluetooth, don't use
(23:24):
your WiFi. Turn off your five G you could use
three g LT. You don't need five G, you don't
need four G. Right, but we gotta get our sleep.
During your deep sleep, the glymphatic system flushes out waste
proteins like beta amyloid plaques, which cause Alzheimer's disease. What, yes,
(23:49):
we gotta sleep. If you want to prevent Alzheimer's disease,
if you want to bring down your neuroinflammation, you need
that sleep, and you need that deep sleep. So stop
eating at night, stop using electronics to night, start using
sunlight to rewire your brain and get in that circaium rhythm.
What you do is ten minutes in the morning, walk
(24:10):
outside to watch the sun rise. Ten minutes at lunchtime,
go outside to watch the sun be strong, it's above
your head. And at nighttime go outside to watch the
sun set. So your brain says, okay, it's time to relax.
It's time to rest. Because chronic poor sleep increases pro
inflammatory cytokins like aisle six and TNF alpha. Okay, ile
(24:37):
sex is inter luken six, right, So tips you want
to get from seven to nine hours idealistically, we want
to sleep from ten to six. That's ideal. You want
to avoid screens four hours before bedtime, so that's why
you're done with screens by six and you're sleeping by ten.
If you want to supplement magnesium glycon aid, I wouldn't
(24:59):
use melotone, man, because that will tell your brain I
don't need to produce malatonin on your own. Use the sunlight.
That'll get you to produce malatonin, especially when you watch
that sunset. That way you'll function betner, feel better, and
live a better life. This is doctor Eric Caplan more.
When we come back from the break.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Don't miss. Boost your brain power with doctor Eric Kaplan
every Saturday from two pm to three pm to learn
the secrets of how to optimize your brain function. You
can improve memory, focus, energy, sleep, digestion, mood, skin, metabolism,
and strength by following the science and research that doctor
(25:43):
Caplan will be sharing with his audience. Join the adventure
of discovering how to help the brain and body in
a natural way while having fun at the same time.
Listen to boost your brain power. If you want to
function better, feel better, and enjoy the quality of life
you deserve. Called two oh one two six one two
one five zero or email info at Kaplan, brainanbody dot
(26:06):
com if you're interested in a free ten minute consultation
with doctor Kaplan, or visit kaplandc dot com for more information.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. So we're coming up with ways to reduce
narrow inflammation. Narrow inflammation is no good. We got to
bring down that inflammation and one of the best ways
(26:40):
is to reduce chronic stress. Stress is the silent killer.
If you have emotional stress, your brain is gonna be inflamed.
If you have post traumatic stress, your brain's gonna be inflamed.
If you have anxiety padic disorders, your brain's gonna be inflamed.
It's overheated, it's overactive. We got to reduce your stress.
(27:04):
Cortisol is the stress hormone. We got to decrease cortisol,
especially at night. That's why you're avoiding computers, cell phones, TVs,
iPads at night because that increases cortisol. Especially that blue light. Now,
if you have to use the computer for your job
past six pm, get a blue light filter. You know,
(27:27):
there's glasses. They usually are pretty orange, and we wear
these orange glasses. They filter out the blue light because
the blue light increases cortisol. Now, we don't want to
wear these blue light filter glasses, the orange glasses in
the morning at ten am when we want to do
our emails and text messages and work, because now we
want cortisol. We need that energy. Cortisol's high in the morning.
(27:50):
Testosterone is high in the morning. It's why you want
to work out in the morning. You want to get
stuff done in the morning. You want to have sex
in the morning. Get everything done in the morning. You know,
breakfast is the most important meal. So have a good,
hearty breakfast ten am, nice big lunch, you know, one thirty,
small dinner at four thirty. That's the way your meal
(28:11):
should be set up. You eat like a king for breakfast,
a prince for lunch, and a pauper for dinner. That's
gonna have your cortisol levels highs in the morning and
then gradually decrease, and then at nighttime they're really low.
So now we can get our deep sleep, which is
going to you know, help cleanse out our brain. All right,
(28:31):
So cortisol we want high in the morning, low at night.
We do that by getting our circadian rhythm order. But
when you're in that fight or flight d because you
have an increased sympathetic nervous system, now your cortisol level
is gonna be too high at nighttime and that's going
to interrupt you from getting your deep sleep. All right,
(28:51):
So we're gona and cortisol not only is the stress woman,
it deposits belly fat. So if you have a hard
time losing weight, it be your stress mode and you
got to bring down your cortisol levels. And you can't
just do a cortisol blood work testing to see. Oh,
because cortisol varies throughout the day, you know, like I said,
we want it highest in the morning and then the
(29:13):
lowest at night, but then it's going to be increased
after food or you know, some sort of stressful event.
So you know there's a lot of variations there. Now,
breath work super super important for reducing chronic stress. The
neuroscience has shown the best breath work to reduce chronic
stress is to inhale for four seconds, hold your breath
(29:35):
for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds. You want
to repeat that three times minimum, and also do it
three times a day. So you got to reduce your
stress by doing breeding. And you want to always exhale
long and that's why it's four to seven eight. Exhaling
is more relaxing. Inhaling Ooh, that's like gets your kind
of stimulated. Exhaling that gets you more relaxed. All right,
(29:59):
So we want to you definitely make sure that we
increase are breathing exercises. Inhale four seconds, hold your breath
seven seconds, exhale for eight seconds. Mindfulness practicing mindfulness. Mindfulness
is where you just do one thing at a time, right,
So when people are in stress mode right there, you know,
(30:20):
eating breakfast, and then they're watching the news, they're reading
the newspaper, they're listening to the radio, they're scrolling through Facebook,
they're talking to their spouse, they're rushing their kids up
for school. You know, they're thinking about the next eraand
they have to do so. That's not mindfulness. Mindfulness is
you do one thing at a time. When you're eating breakfast,
(30:44):
you just eat breakfast. You smell that food, you taste
the food, you look at the food, you chew the
food thirty five times. Just do one thing at a time.
When you're reading a book, just read the book. Don't
have the TV on in the background. Don't be talking
to someone else, don't be listening to music. Right so,
(31:07):
you just read the book. When you're at the gym,
you're working out, you're a text messaging your wife, you're
lifting weights, you're on the treadmill, you're lifting that tie,
or you're doing your curls, you're doing your push ups,
your sit ups, you're doing your stretching, whatever it is
you focus on that. Focus on those muscle fibers contracting,
Focus on the respiration, focus on the sweat that you
(31:30):
feel focus on the workout. Put your phone away. When
you're on a date, put your phone away. Talk to
your date right. Don't when you're at dinner, don't have
the TV on. When you're at work, don't be checking
your cell phone. You should be one hundred percent at work.
(31:54):
When you're at church, be one hundred percent of church.
That's mindfulness. When you're praying, you're praying. When you're working out,
you're working out. When you're eating, you're eating. When you're
doing chores, you're doing chores. When you're working, you're working.
When you're reading, you're reading. When you're breathing, you're breathing.
Just do one thing at a time and focus on that,
and that's practicing mindfulness. Meditation, do some breeding. I don't
(32:19):
care if it's just a thirty second meditation, but be
consistent about it. I do the relaxed technique, or I
just start at the top of my head and I
say relax, and I relax the muscles on the top
of my head. Then I relax the temples. Then I
relax my forehead, relax my eyebrows. I'm just saying relax
and relaxing each part of my body. Relax the eyes relax,
(32:41):
the cheeks relax, the jaw relax, the nose relax, the
mouth relax, the next relax, the shoulders relax, the back,
And you're saying this internally relax, relax, relax, but you're
visualizing each body part relax, and when you get to
your jar, you're gonna feel your jaw relaxed. When you
get to your shoulders, you're gonna feel the shoulders go down.
And you just do thirty spots. It just takes thirty seconds.
(33:02):
It's the relaxed meditation technique. But do it every single day.
Be consistent. I like to do it during transitions, so
I'll do it before work and then I'll do it
after work. So when I transition from home life to work,
I want to be in a different mindset. And then
(33:23):
when I want to transition from work to family home,
I gotta be in a different mindset. So that's why
I like to do these meditations. It resets my brain.
Just do it thirty second and relax everything, rejuvenate, get
your mind focused. That helps to reduce neurow inflammation. Gratitude.
(33:46):
Journaling every morning. I don't care again if it's thirty seconds,
just journal three things that you're grateful for. Oh, I'm
grateful that I have a place to live. I'm grateful
I could I have food in my refrigerator when I
wake up. I'm grateful I have a job. I'm grateful
I have a family, whatever it is. Just be grateful
(34:08):
for three things every single morning. Write it down. I'm
grateful for my friends. I'm grateful for my neighbors, my brother,
my sister, my parents, my kids. Grateful for my job,
my car, my house. I'm grateful if I have a
place to live. I got a roof up over my head.
I'm grateful I have clothes. I'm grateful I live in America.
You know anything. Just be grateful every single day. Appreciate
(34:31):
your life. Be grateful you could pee. Be grateful you
could poop. Be grateful you could talk and walk. Because
I have patience. They can't pee, they can't poop, they
can't talk, they can't walk. They're missing an arm, they're
missing a leg, they can't see they came here. Be
grateful every day that you could taste food. Be grateful
(34:56):
every day that you could spell. We have lots of
patience as they come to me because they can't smell
and once we get their smell back, woh, you better
believe they're right in every single day in their journal.
I am grateful I could smell again. I'll tell you
if you lose your smell, it's bad news. That could
lead to Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease. That's one of the
(35:18):
first signs of these neural inflammatory disorders is loss of smell.
So you got loss of smell, We better check out
your brain. You probably have some neuro inflammation. But the
good news is you could rewire your brain through a
process called neuroplasticity. Okay, but make sure you do gratitude journaling.
(35:43):
Another way to reduce neuroinflammation by reducing your inflammatory stress levels.
It's being in nature. Be a tree hugger, hug a tree,
do earthing or grounding where you take off your shoes,
take off your socks and you put your feet in
the grass, put your feet in the dirt, put your
(36:04):
feet in the sand. Be connected with nature. Unplug and
go in nature. Go in the woods, go in the forest,
go on the beach, go hiking. Be in nature. Get
that oxygen, that sunlight. It's going to reduce your emotional stress.
And this has been proven through neurosigns that grounding or
(36:26):
everything actually reduces emotional stress. That's part of neuro inflammatory model.
We have to reduce emotional stress. And a lot of
people that come to my office after we analyze their brain,
we find out are in this fight or flight mode,
the sympathetic tone within fear mode. Their minds racing a
million miles per hour. They're always stressed, They're always worry
(36:49):
even sometimes irritable, angry, aggressive. We see it all the time,
and it's getting worse and worse, especially even younger kids,
people in their twenties and teenagers. We got to rewire
the brain. You don't want these kids to be stuck
in this fight or flight mode. But the good news
is you can rewire your brain. There's hope. It's called neuroplasticity,
(37:12):
where if you figure out where the problem is, and
we do that in our offices, we could teach you
certain exercises to do that are natural. Not taking drugs,
medication injections, ivs, any surgeries, any deep brain stimulation, electric
shock therapy. It's all natural, holistic and integrated. Just like
you go to the gym and strength and a muscle.
(37:33):
You could strengthen your brain to reduce anxiety, reduce stress,
and get your brain out of that fight or flight mode,
therefore reducing neuroinflammation so you can function better, feel better,
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan,
and you're listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
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 Kaplan and you will learn natural, integrative, and holistic
(38:19):
approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism,
add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four posture pain, TBI,
skin and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan is most famous for
getting to the root cause of a wide variety of
brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional
(38:42):
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 3 (38:54):
Function better, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor eric aplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. We're talking about neuro inflammation in how to
reduce no inflammation to improve your memory, improve your focus,
your motivation, your time management, your executive functions, thereby reducing depression, anxiety,
(39:21):
preventing dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's. Who doesn't want to do that?
We all want that, but you are you willing to
do the work. Because there's no magic drug it's gonna
fix your brain. You gotta do the work, and it
starts with moving your body. We've got to stop this
sedentary lifestyle. Never sit for more than twenty minutes. I
(39:44):
call it the twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, you get
up for twenty seconds, move your body, walk twenty feet,
do twenty jumpin jacks, twenty push ups, twenty sit ups,
twenty squats, twenty lunges, twenty shoulder rolls. I want to
sitting to standing. I don't care what it is. Move
your body for twenty seconds every twenty minutes and look
(40:07):
twenty feet away. Save your eyes Just like you can
prove your memory by doing memory exercise, you can improve
your eyes by doing eye exercise. But if you're always
looking on your phone, looking on your computer, watching these
flat screen TVs and all these smart devices in the iPads,
your eyes are gonna get worse and worse and worse.
(40:28):
But if you start doing eye exercises, the best eye
exercise is called a brock string exercise. We haven't met
our office broc k. There are these little beads that
on our string, and you focus on one bead, then
focus on the next speed, then focus on the next speed.
Strengthen your eyes. You can actually improve your vision. But
you gotta do that sedentary lifestyle. We've got to get
(40:49):
rid of it. So now start following a twenty rule.
And even if it's a standing desk you work out,
you gotta move your body. If you're standing for twenty minutes,
that applies to you too. If you're sitting for twenty minutes,
that applies you move your body every twenty minutes for
twenty seconds. The sedentary lifestyle will increase neuro inflammation. The
twenty rule will decrease neuro inflammation. So when we exercise,
(41:15):
that is going to reduce neuro inflammation. And so you
got to do at least three days a week twenty
minute workouts. Doesn't have to be a lot, but you
kind of do. You can't just do it once a month,
all right, So three days a week for twenty minutes,
all right, if you do that. And I don't care
what it is going to the gym. I don't care
if it's playing basketball. I don't care if it's, you know,
(41:37):
doing a zoom a zoomba class. I don't care if
it's doing a pole dancing class. I don't care what
it is. Just move your body. I don't care if
you're going for bike ride, right, But you gotta do exercise,
play tennis with your friends, basketball, soccer, go rollerblade, go swimming, kayaking, skiing,
(42:06):
something where your heart starts beating fast you start sweating
twenty minutes, three times a week, twenty minutes. That's it.
Do you know if you work forty hours a week,
you sleep eight hours a night, you sell have over
seventy hours of free time to do what you want.
Seventy hours. We're talking about three twenty minute sessions. That's
(42:29):
one hour out of seventy free hours. And that's full sleep,
full time job. One out of seventy hours you gotta do. Okay,
you could do it all right. Exercises reduces systematic systematic
not just the brain all over. It reduces systematic inflammation.
(42:54):
And it does this by increasing bdn F. That's brain
toric neurotrophic factor, which supports brain repair. So everyone's looking
to do you could do it naturally through exercise. It's
no better way than to do it through exercise. You
gotta do aerobic exercise like you know, power walking, dancing, biking,
(43:18):
and you gotta do resistance training. You gotta do the
weights very important, all right. That helps reduce insulin resistance.
That's diabetes, and it's linked to neuro inflammation. They're gonna
call Alzheimer's thease diabetes type three. If you better start
lifting some weights. And when you lift weights, it also
increases your mood. It's very good for depression anxiety when
(43:40):
you lift weights. Not only just get your muscles stronger,
get your bones stronger. The number one way to reduce
osteoporosis and osteopenia is through weight resistant exercise. And you
could just do bands. You could use like push ups
or resistance and pull ups are resistance. Right, do some
pull ups. You know how hard pull ups are to do,
(44:01):
Just start doing it. I don't care how old you are.
Start with one pull up, then you do two pull ups.
Very important. Move your body daily the twenty rule. Exercise
three times a week for twenty minutes aerobic and weight
resists at exercise. Okay, now we gotta get your regular
sunlight Vitamin D. All right, So you gotta do ten
(44:23):
minutes in the morning when the sun rises, ten minutes
lunchtime when the sun's on top of you, in ten
minutes during sunset where the sun's going down. Go on
lots of vacations where you go to the beach and
you go out in the swimming and you go in
the ocean. Get sunlight Vitamin D. It's the most important vitamin.
It's not even a vitamin. Actually it's a hormone. But
(44:44):
there's no better vitamin than vitamin D. It prevents Alzheimer's, right,
it prevents sickness and cancer. Just read a study that
it literally prevents cancer. I mean, it's unstoppable. It helps
with your thyroid. You got hormone problems. You need vitamin D.
(45:06):
So it helps with your brain, helps with cancer prevention,
helps boost your immune system. Every single person that died
from COVID nineteen was vitamin D deficient, every single one.
And there's nobody that had high vitamin D levels that
died didn't exist. It's literally linked to your immune system.
(45:31):
It's linked to your thyroid, your hormones, linked to your mood.
They've actually proven vitamin D gets better results with depression
than antidepressant medications. Pharmaceutical industry doesn't want you to know
that because that's a big business. But more effective than
(45:53):
antidepressants is vitamin D. It's in the research. Go on PubMed,
look it up, vitamin D. So do it. If you
don't want to be depressed, you don't want Alzheimer's. You
want a strong immune system, you don't want cancer, you
don't want hormonal problems. You wanta a good diroid. Better
get your sunlight. And if you're not getting your sunlight,
(46:13):
you gotta supplement I like Ultra D five thousand by
Apex Energetics. We can get that at my office if
you want. But there is nothing better than vitamin D.
All right now, you gotta be careful with supplements because
a lot of supplements have contaminants. So I practice what's
called functional medicine, where you know, we don't just say,
(46:35):
oh uh, just take B twelve for energy and melatonin
for sleep, and you know, magnesium for your muscle cramps. Now,
it's like, we're gonna look at your blood work and
see which areas are deficient. You know, maybe you're dehydrated,
maybe you don't have stomach acid, maybe you don't absorb properly,
Maybe you have too much neuroinflammation that could be found
(46:58):
in the blood work. There's something called ESR homo sixteen
crp uh. These omega three omega six ratios tell us
how your inflammation is. But we gotta do brain evaluations.
The best brain evaluation is called a qEEG brain mapping.
(47:19):
It measures your alpha beta, fada delta waves and based
on the location of the abnormal brain waves, it will
tell us which areas of the brain are working well,
which areas are not, and it'll pick up white matter
inflammation in your brain. It'll actually pick up intestinal inflammation.
It's a really cool test. It tells us if you
have low dopamine, low acetylcholine, tells us if you had
(47:41):
a concussion. Heavy metal poisoning, tells us you have depression, anxiety,
memory problems, short term, long term working memory, if you
have balanced problems, visual problems, hearing problems. It tells us
if you have a thyroid problem like we were talking
about before, if you have sleep deprivation, if you have
difficulty shifting tests, motivation, planning, punctuality. It literally breaks down
(48:01):
the whole brain. It's normally six hundred dollars. The first
seven people to call, text or email you could get
this qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars, but
you gotta be one of the first seven people to
call or text two zero one two six one two
one five zero, or you can email info at kaplanbrainanbody
(48:23):
dot com telling them you want the qEEG brain mapping
for only twenty one dollars. There's another test called a
VNG or a VOG video oculography, and it measures your
eye movements fast, slow, and up and down and left
and right and in dark and in light and with
(48:43):
a target and without, And basically we're able to analyze
the different lobes of the brain and we could say
which parts of the brain are overactive. Maybe the right
brain's overactive and the left brain's underactive, and you have
this disconnect and that's why you have brain fog and
you can't think or you can't focus. That's why you
have anxiety or depression or whatever it is. Right, So
we can figure that out with this test. And for
(49:05):
the areas that are overactive, there's gonna be more people that.
You know, they worry a lot, they panic, they have insomnia,
they can't fall asleep or stay asleep, their minds wasting
a million miles per hour. They have ADHD, they're always worried.
They think of the future. You know, it's like, oh boy,
go we go, we going, going, going, or this might
pick up if there's an area that's underactive. People have
(49:28):
brain fog, low energy, low motivation or memory, can't focus,
can't think, always late, everything's delayed, slow to react right,
full metabolism. Even you know that is underactive, it could
(49:49):
pick that up. That's why I love this VNG. Now,
this test is normally six hundred dollars, but for the
first seven people to call, text or email, you could
get this test as well for only twenty one dollars.
The number to call or text is two zero one,
two six one two, one five zero, or you can
(50:10):
email info at Kaplinbraindonbody dot com. The last test is
a one on one with me, and I'm gonna go
over your qEEG. I'm gonna go over your VNG. If
you've already done blood work, we'll go over that. Or
if you're on a cat scan or MRIs or X
rays or any testing you've done, We'll go over there,
and then I'll do my own test. I'll listen to
your lungs, I'll listen to your heart, I'll listen to
(50:32):
your gut. I'll check out your balance, your posture, your
range of motion, your muscles, your nerves. Will check out
your alignmate, your bones. We'll check out your memory, how
you walk, how you stand on one leg, your reaction time.
Will do all full physical and neurological evaluation. This is
also normally six hundred dollars, but for the first seven
(50:53):
people to call, text or email you can get the
one on one with me for only twenty one dollars.
And if you want all three, just say all three
tests for twenty one dollars each. You want to be
one of the first seven callers or texters or emailers.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
brain power. We're going to talk about neuro inflammation and
cognitive decline. So many people are coming into my offices
(00:41):
with neuroinflammation and that coldad to Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, brain fog,
people losing their memory. They're blaming age when it's actually neuroinflammation.
And all that means is that the brain and the
nervous system is overactive. It's overfiring. It's on fire. That's
(01:04):
the inflammation. Inflammation gives out heat. That's why when you're sick,
you get hot. When you roll your ankle, it swells
up and I want you to ice it right. That's
the inflammation. It's overheated. You're gonna cool you down. So
(01:26):
one of the best ways to reduce neurow inflammation or
overheating of the brain and the body is through cold exposure.
There's these cryo therapy you could do. There is ice baths,
(01:48):
there are cold plunges, cold showers. The best neuroscience has
shown dipping your face in a bucket of ice water
that's fifty degrees fahrenheit gives you the quickest reaction there
(02:08):
when they do this in hospitals, actually, like somebody's having tachycardia,
which is a fast heart rate. You know, the beats
going one hundred eighty beats per minute. They put your
face in ice bets and within a minute your heart
rate goes from one hundred and eighty beats per minute
to sixty. Right, So ice on the face, So you
(02:32):
dip your face in an ice bucket or an ice
bowl at fifty degrees fahrenheit activates your power sympathetic nervous system,
reduces a high heart rate a paddic attack, and your
heart starts beating fast and you get really nervous. Your
heart starts beating fast. Ice cold exposure really good at
(02:57):
stimulating the brain because of neural or neffron. It stimulates
that release and then it reduces the inflammatory cytokinds. So
that's why people will say, okay, let's ice, you know,
after an injury because of the inflammation, all right, and
it helps numb the pain also, So not only is
(03:19):
reducing the inflammation, it numbs the pain. But you could
apply that for your brain. Right So, if your brain's
overheated and it's inflamed, you could put ice on your face.
If your whole body's inflamed, do a cold plunge and
(03:40):
your shower with cold. It makes a huge difference. It's
actually good for your skin. If you don't do it
your brain, at least do it for help reduce wrinkles. Okay,
so do cold every morning right when you wake up.
Splash your face with cold water. Every morning after your shower,
(04:02):
end with cold water. Every evening, right before bed, splash
your face with cold water. Find a time during the
day to put your face in a bowl of ice water.
Find a place to do a cold plunge. All right.
(04:24):
These are amazing therapies. You can even go to cryogenic
lamps and do when they just freeze you basically, so
there's lots of cold therapy. Cold is amazing, you know
for reducing neuro inflammation. It helps reduce microglial activation, which
(04:45):
is a key driver of neuroinflammation. And but even a
brief exposure, like we said, we just do thirty seconds
in the morning, thirty seconds at the shower, thirty seconds
in night, thirty seconds in the face. You know, do
an ice just for one minute. You know, that's all
you need to do. It doesn't have to be a lot.
(05:08):
The cold is good. And when it comes winter time,
you know, just for a minute or thirty seconds go
outside and you know, a shorts and t shirt, expose
yourself to cold. You don't want to just put on
the heater every time you're cold. You don't want to
just put on the coat every time you're cold. You
don't want to just put in your gloves or your
hat and always be comfortable. That's not good. And the
(05:32):
same thing with the heat. You don't always want to
put on the air conditioner when you're hot. All right,
starts suffering a little bit. Don't always eat when you're hungry.
You gotta suffer. Your body knows how to be resilience
is I can handle not eating at night. I can
(05:53):
handle cold exposure, I can handle heat exposure, can handle
the rain, the wind, the snow. I don't care what
you throw at me. The hurricanes fine, earthquakes, fine, we
can handle them. Your brain and your mindset are important.
(06:17):
If you worry, that's gonna increase narrow inflammation. The more
relaxed you are, the less inflamed your brain will be.
If the brain is inflamed, let's do some cold exposure.
Another thing that we could do is the way you eat. Right,
(06:37):
So what brings down inflammation. Omega threes, Those are amazing
at bringing down inflammation. Those are the fatty fish oils
and it's found in salmon's, sardines, flaxeed, walnuts, EPA and
DHA are especially critical for brain health. And when you
(06:58):
get the fish, make sure they're small less mercury. Okay,
that is the omega threes. If you're not getting in
your diet, you can always supplement. I like apex Energetics.
They are a good company. Other ways to get your
(07:18):
anti inflammatory diet on is just eating your colorful vegetables
and the berries. Eat all the strawberries, the blueberries, the blackberries,
the raspberries, the boys and berries. Eat all those berries.
They have antioxidants antose sygaines. That's scavenge free radicals. We
(07:43):
don't like those free radicals. These anti accidents will take
care of them for you. Vitamin C found in the
citrus fruits, right, so you get your orange orange, you know,
your red grapefruit, your yellow lemon, your green lime. Get
(08:05):
those colors, get those citruses, get those antioxidants. Very important
for neural inflammation. So we need these omega threes. We
need our antioxidants. Turmeric. Turmeric is amazing or curcumen. It's
(08:29):
a potent anti inflammatory spice and it's best absorbed with
black pepper. So when you combine black pepper with turmeric,
it gets absorbed better. And turmeric you could do a
(08:51):
lot of you're not going to overdo that. Very important.
One of the best match anti inflammatories risveratrol. That's another
amazing antiflammatory. It's also anti aging. Ris Veratrol is found
(09:15):
in Japanese mountweed. It's found in the skin of red grapes.
That's why you'll hear some people say, oh wine, red
wine is healthy. No, red wine is not healthy. The
skin of the red grapes is healthy. It's got the
resveratrol in it. But the amount of wine you'd have
(09:39):
to drink to get the benefit of there's veratrol is
counteracted by the damage done by the wine and the alcohol,
especially American wine. You drink California wine, that's the worst
thing you could have. Even the organic is full of chemicals.
You know, it's like never get anything in a America.
(10:00):
We just have the worst products everything, including the bad
stuff and the good stuff. You know, even our bad
stuff beer and wine are the worst in the world.
You know, even our oil cookies are worse than the
oil cookies in Germany. You know, our fruit loops are
worse than the fruit loops in Canada. You know, our
(10:21):
pop tarts are worse than the pop tarts in Spain.
You know, it's like even the bad stuff is even
worse in America. You know, Coca cola is much worse
in America than it is in Mexico. You know, it's
like the rules we have here just we have the
sickest people in the entire world in America. It's sad.
(10:45):
With the most doctors, the most medication, the most hospitals,
the most money spent in healthcare, most research done in healthcare,
yet we're the sickest country. We're the only country where
people are dying earlier. Most countries, people are living longer
and longer every year. Not in America. We're dying younger
(11:06):
and younger, and our babies die earlier than almost every
other developed country in the entire world. Our babies die
on day one more than any other country, and we
have the most sea sections, more than any other country.
Hm hmm. Interesting. The country with the most home birth
(11:27):
rates is the Netherlands. One out of every three babies
are born at home. In New York City, one out
of every three babies have a sea section. It's a
lot of money, it's a big business the Netherlands. They
care about their citizens, so one out of every three
are done at home, and they have the lowest infant
(11:50):
mortality rate in the entire world. The countries that have
the most home births have their young, their babies died
the least. And the countries that have the most intervention,
the most sea section, the most induced labors, the most suctioning,
most head clamps, the most pop in the water, most
(12:12):
medical intervention. We have the highest infit mortality rate of
all the developed countries. So do not follow the advice
that our doctors, our government and our news will tell
us about health. If you want to function better, feel better,
and live a better life, this is doctor Eric Caplan
(12:35):
and you're listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches,
brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your
human potential and prevent future diseases, that this is the

doctor Eric Caplan and you will learn natural, integrative and
(13:01):
holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's stroke, autism, add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines,
four posture pain, TBI, skin and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan
is most famous for getting to the root cause of
a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
brain power, we're talking about neuroinflammation. How can we bring
down inflammation in the brain, Because if you have a
(13:58):
neurological disorder, you have inflammation. I don't care if it's autism,
add depression, anxiety, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's MS, I don't care what
it is. Whatever neurological condition you have, you have neuroinflammation,
or else you wouldn't have that condition. So the key
(14:21):
to all of those neurological conditions, even if it's just
brain fog, even if you just think, oh, my memory's gone,
but uh, I think it's age. Don't blame age. That's
the big lie. And they're all gonna tell you that, oh,
your memory just gets worse with age. It's not true.
Your memory could get better with age. But you gotta
(14:42):
work for it. You use it or you lose it.
You gotta challenge your brain. You gotta do novelty. If
you want to improve your memory, you gotta do novelty
new things every single day, every single day of your life.
You got to do at least one thing that you've
never done before. If you want to prevent dementia, If
you want to improve your memory, you better start doing
new things. It's not doing a crossword puzzle every day.
(15:06):
That's not new. You've done a crossword puzzle before. It's
not reading every day that's not new. You've read before.
Do something new that you've never ever done. Very important
if you want to improve your memory, prove your focus,
get rid of that brain fog. Prevent a mansion, prevent Alzheimer's.
(15:28):
We got to bring down neuro inflammation. Another thing that
brings down neuro inflammation is extra virgin olive oil. It
has polyphenoids and oleocanthal, a natural anti inflammatory. And don't worry,
(15:51):
fat doesn't make you fat. Your brain is made of
mostly fat. So we need a lot of fat. That's
why we said eat this ardi, the salmon, the walnuts.
We need this omega threes, those flax seeds. Now we're
telling you you gotta have extra virgin olive oil, have
(16:13):
some coconut oil. Your brain loves fat, it needs fat.
Your nerves love fat. They're covered in this mile in
cheap and the more fat you have, the better insulation
the nerve and the quicker those signals occur. So we
(16:35):
need lots of fat. In our diet. Avocado has lots
of fat. Olives have lots of fat, so increase your
fat intake. Okay. Green tea, it contains eg CG, which
has neuroprotective and anti flammatory effects. Green tea is a
(16:57):
die inflammatory extravert gnoal oil inflammatory anti inflammatory. Okay, these
things are so easy to do, but you gotta do
it now. Everyone's gonna probably like this one. Another anti
inflammatory is dark chocolate, but make sure you get eighty
(17:17):
five percent more. You don't want it full of sugar,
all right. So this is which inflavonoids, they cross the
blood brain barrier and reduce oxidative stress. If we can
get something to actually cross the blood brain barrier to
reduce oxidative stress, and it also feels good because it
(17:41):
increases your happiness hormones, and it's gonna reduce your neuroinflammation,
let's do it. Dark chocolate though, eighty five percent more.
No milk chocolate, no fifty to fifty, no seventy thirty.
We don't want all this sugar, okay. I know dark
chocolate's bitter. That's why you could do you know, eighty
five fifteen something like that. Okay, but that's a natural
(18:06):
anti inflammatory, so we could get it through our diet
and its veratrol. Yeah, you're gonna be eating Japanese not weed. No,
so you can get you know, supplementation. We have that
at our office. If you want turmeric, you know, that's
a spice, you can get it like the Indian health
food store. But yeah, you know, if you don't do
(18:27):
it like, you can always supplement you know, your antioxidants,
your turmeric, yours, veratrol, you can supplement them. But it's
better to always get it natural. Okay, And make sure
we avoid and limit ultra processed foods, anything in boxes
and cans and bags. You know, those little cured meats.
(18:49):
Don't get you know, all these chicken and steak that's
full of steroids and antibiotics. Don't fill up your whole
body with all these refined sugars, the seed oils. Get
rid of seed oils, the soybean oil, the canola oil,
all those oil sapflower oil, sunflower oil, you know, vegetable oil.
(19:14):
Get rid of it. All the pam there. You know,
we gotta get rid of these seed oils. You can,
like we said, use extra version olive oil or coconut
oil or even avocado oil. Okay, you can use those oils,
but that's it, all right, stay away from all these oils.
(19:38):
They're highly inflammatory for the brain, so we really want
to avoid that. Okay, all right. Now, another thing that's
important to reduce inflammation is to get that deep sleep
that r e M. Rapid eye movements, those delta brain waves.
(20:00):
When you get your sleep, you're gonna reduce that neuro inflammation.
If you're upscrolling, you know, from ten pm to twelve midnight,
that's not good. You're not getting your deeper, storative sleep.
You're gonna increased cortisol, which is the stress homeowner, that's
gonna interrupt you getting that deep sleep. If you eat
(20:22):
snacks at nine pm, that's going to interrupt your deep sleep.
So we want to do intermittent fasting where you only
eat from ten am to six pm and you only
use electronics from ten am to six pm. That means
check your emails, your Facebook, your Instagram, your TikTok, check
(20:44):
your YouTube videos, send your text messages, go on your Google,
you know, all do all that stuff from ten am
to six pm. Okay, do not go on the TV
at night to watch Netflix. Do not go on the
computer at night to scroll. Do not go on your
cell phone to start texting people. We want to unplug
(21:10):
at night. Turn off your Wi Fi. In fact, you
shouldn't even have Wi Fi. You know. Now just go
back to the old school Ethernet cables and you could
do these cool inventions these days where you can get
Ethernet in each room just by using this like adaptable plug.
So stop using the Wi Fi signals. Those are toxic.
(21:31):
Start using the wired signals. Start using Ethernet. Okay, when
you're on your cell phone, turn off your Wi Fi.
You don't need your Wi Fi. If you're talking on
your phone and you got your phone next to your head,
you got Wi Fi signals, you got five G data.
I mean, you're literally causing brain cancer. Leukemia used to
(21:55):
be the number one cause of children forever. It's been
ukemia until this year. Now it's brain cancer for kids.
Kids are literally getting more brain cancer than ever. Children
from five to eighteen are getting brain cancer more than ever.
(22:21):
Wake up. Do not let your kids use their cell phone,
especially if they're talking on it next to their head
where they're listening to music. We gotta get rid of
cell phones, especially for a developing brain. Get rid of
(22:42):
that radiation. Don't let them use the laptops on their
lap unless you want your little boy getting testicular cancer,
your little girl getting ovarian cancer. Right, don't put your
cell phone in your front pocket unless you want to
(23:02):
radiate your ovaries and your testicles. Don't put it in
your front chest pocket, not unless you want lung cancer
or heart disease. These cell phones are radiation. They call
it neural inflammation. Don't use the bluetooth either, use your speaker,
use your wire headphones. Don't use your bluetooth, don't use
(23:24):
your WiFi. Turn off your five G you could use
three g LT. You don't need five G, you don't
need four G. Right, but we gotta get our sleep.
During your deep sleep, the glymphatic system flushes out waste
proteins like beta amyloid plaques, which cause Alzheimer's disease. What, yes,
(23:49):
we gotta sleep. If you want to prevent Alzheimer's disease,
if you want to bring down your neuroinflammation, you need
that sleep, and you need that deep sleep. So stop
eating at night, stop using electronics to night, start using
sunlight to rewire your brain and get in that circaium rhythm.
What you do is ten minutes in the morning, walk
(24:10):
outside to watch the sun rise. Ten minutes at lunchtime,
go outside to watch the sun be strong, it's above
your head. And at nighttime go outside to watch the
sun set. So your brain says, okay, it's time to relax.
It's time to rest. Because chronic poor sleep increases pro
inflammatory cytokins like aisle six and TNF alpha. Okay, ile
(24:37):
sex is inter luken six, right, So tips you want
to get from seven to nine hours idealistically, we want
to sleep from ten to six. That's ideal. You want
to avoid screens four hours before bedtime, so that's why
you're done with screens by six and you're sleeping by ten.
If you want to supplement magnesium glycon aid, I wouldn't
(24:59):
use melotone, man, because that will tell your brain I
don't need to produce malatonin on your own. Use the sunlight.
That'll get you to produce malatonin, especially when you watch
that sunset. That way you'll function betner, feel better, and
live a better life. This is doctor Eric Caplan more.
When we come back from the break.
Speaker 2 (25:22):

you deserve. Called two oh one two six one two
one five zero or email info at Kaplan, brainanbody dot
(26:06):
com if you're interested in a free ten minute consultation
with doctor Kaplan, or visit kaplandc dot com for more information.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. So we're coming up with ways to reduce
narrow inflammation. Narrow inflammation is no good. We got to
bring down that inflammation and one of the best ways
(26:40):
is to reduce chronic stress. Stress is the silent killer.
If you have emotional stress, your brain is gonna be inflamed.
If you have post traumatic stress, your brain's gonna be inflamed.
If you have anxiety padic disorders, your brain's gonna be inflamed.
It's overheated, it's overactive. We got to reduce your stress.
(27:04):
Cortisol is the stress hormone. We got to decrease cortisol,
especially at night. That's why you're avoiding computers, cell phones, TVs,
iPads at night because that increases cortisol. Especially that blue light. Now,
if you have to use the computer for your job
past six pm, get a blue light filter. You know,
(27:27):
there's glasses. They usually are pretty orange, and we wear
these orange glasses. They filter out the blue light because
the blue light increases cortisol. Now, we don't want to
wear these blue light filter glasses, the orange glasses in
the morning at ten am when we want to do
our emails and text messages and work, because now we
want cortisol. We need that energy. Cortisol's high in the morning.
(27:50):
Testosterone is high in the morning. It's why you want
to work out in the morning. You want to get
stuff done in the morning. You want to have sex
in the morning. Get everything done in the morning. You know,
breakfast is the most important meal. So have a good,
hearty breakfast ten am, nice big lunch, you know, one thirty,
small dinner at four thirty. That's the way your meal
(28:11):
should be set up. You eat like a king for breakfast,
a prince for lunch, and a pauper for dinner. That's
gonna have your cortisol levels highs in the morning and
then gradually decrease, and then at nighttime they're really low.
So now we can get our deep sleep, which is
going to you know, help cleanse out our brain. All right,
(28:31):
So cortisol we want high in the morning, low at night.
We do that by getting our circadian rhythm order. But
when you're in that fight or flight d because you
have an increased sympathetic nervous system, now your cortisol level
is gonna be too high at nighttime and that's going
to interrupt you from getting your deep sleep. All right,
(28:51):
So we're gona and cortisol not only is the stress woman,
it deposits belly fat. So if you have a hard
time losing weight, it be your stress mode and you
got to bring down your cortisol levels. And you can't
just do a cortisol blood work testing to see. Oh,
because cortisol varies throughout the day, you know, like I said,
we want it highest in the morning and then the
(29:13):
lowest at night, but then it's going to be increased
after food or you know, some sort of stressful event.
So you know there's a lot of variations there. Now,
breath work super super important for reducing chronic stress. The
neuroscience has shown the best breath work to reduce chronic
stress is to inhale for four seconds, hold your breath
(29:35):
for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds. You want
to repeat that three times minimum, and also do it
three times a day. So you got to reduce your
stress by doing breeding. And you want to always exhale
long and that's why it's four to seven eight. Exhaling
is more relaxing. Inhaling Ooh, that's like gets your kind
of stimulated. Exhaling that gets you more relaxed. All right,
(29:59):
So we want to you definitely make sure that we
increase are breathing exercises. Inhale four seconds, hold your breath
seven seconds, exhale for eight seconds. Mindfulness practicing mindfulness. Mindfulness
is where you just do one thing at a time, right,
So when people are in stress mode right there, you know,
(30:20):
eating breakfast, and then they're watching the news, they're reading
the newspaper, they're listening to the radio, they're scrolling through Facebook,
they're talking to their spouse, they're rushing their kids up
for school. You know, they're thinking about the next eraand
they have to do so. That's not mindfulness. Mindfulness is
you do one thing at a time. When you're eating breakfast,
(30:44):
you just eat breakfast. You smell that food, you taste
the food, you look at the food, you chew the
food thirty five times. Just do one thing at a time.
When you're reading a book, just read the book. Don't
have the TV on in the background. Don't be talking
to someone else, don't be listening to music. Right so,
(31:07):
you just read the book. When you're at the gym,
you're working out, you're a text messaging your wife, you're
lifting weights, you're on the treadmill, you're lifting that tie,
or you're doing your curls, you're doing your push ups,
your sit ups, you're doing your stretching, whatever it is
you focus on that. Focus on those muscle fibers contracting,
Focus on the respiration, focus on the sweat that you
(31:30):
feel focus on the workout. Put your phone away. When
you're on a date, put your phone away. Talk to
your date right. Don't when you're at dinner, don't have
the TV on. When you're at work, don't be checking
your cell phone. You should be one hundred percent at work.
(31:54):
When you're at church, be one hundred percent of church.
That's mindfulness. When you're praying, you're praying. When you're working out,
you're working out. When you're eating, you're eating. When you're
doing chores, you're doing chores. When you're working, you're working.
When you're reading, you're reading. When you're breathing, you're breathing.
Just do one thing at a time and focus on that,
and that's practicing mindfulness. Meditation, do some breeding. I don't
(32:19):
care if it's just a thirty second meditation, but be
consistent about it. I do the relaxed technique, or I
just start at the top of my head and I
say relax, and I relax the muscles on the top
of my head. Then I relax the temples. Then I
relax my forehead, relax my eyebrows. I'm just saying relax
and relaxing each part of my body. Relax the eyes relax,
(32:41):
the cheeks relax, the jaw relax, the nose relax, the
mouth relax, the next relax, the shoulders relax, the back,
And you're saying this internally relax, relax, relax, but you're
visualizing each body part relax, and when you get to
your jar, you're gonna feel your jaw relaxed. When you
get to your shoulders, you're gonna feel the shoulders go down.
And you just do thirty spots. It just takes thirty seconds.
(33:02):
It's the relaxed meditation technique. But do it every single day.
Be consistent. I like to do it during transitions, so
I'll do it before work and then I'll do it
after work. So when I transition from home life to work,
I want to be in a different mindset. And then
(33:23):
when I want to transition from work to family home,
I gotta be in a different mindset. So that's why
I like to do these meditations. It resets my brain.
Just do it thirty second and relax everything, rejuvenate, get
your mind focused. That helps to reduce neurow inflammation. Gratitude.
(33:46):
Journaling every morning. I don't care again if it's thirty seconds,
just journal three things that you're grateful for. Oh, I'm
grateful that I have a place to live. I'm grateful
I could I have food in my refrigerator when I
wake up. I'm grateful I have a job. I'm grateful
I have a family, whatever it is. Just be grateful
(34:08):
for three things every single morning. Write it down. I'm
grateful for my friends. I'm grateful for my neighbors, my brother,
my sister, my parents, my kids. Grateful for my job,
my car, my house. I'm grateful if I have a
place to live. I got a roof up over my head.
I'm grateful I have clothes. I'm grateful I live in America.
You know anything. Just be grateful every single day. Appreciate
(34:31):
your life. Be grateful you could pee. Be grateful you
could poop. Be grateful you could talk and walk. Because
I have patience. They can't pee, they can't poop, they
can't talk, they can't walk. They're missing an arm, they're
missing a leg, they can't see they came here. Be
grateful every day that you could taste food. Be grateful
(34:56):
every day that you could spell. We have lots of
patience as they come to me because they can't smell
and once we get their smell back, woh, you better
believe they're right in every single day in their journal.
I am grateful I could smell again. I'll tell you
if you lose your smell, it's bad news. That could
lead to Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease. That's one of the
(35:18):
first signs of these neural inflammatory disorders is loss of smell.
So you got loss of smell, We better check out
your brain. You probably have some neuro inflammation. But the
good news is you could rewire your brain through a
process called neuroplasticity. Okay, but make sure you do gratitude journaling.
(35:43):
Another way to reduce neuroinflammation by reducing your inflammatory stress levels.
It's being in nature. Be a tree hugger, hug a tree,
do earthing or grounding where you take off your shoes,
take off your socks and you put your feet in
the grass, put your feet in the dirt, put your
(36:04):
feet in the sand. Be connected with nature. Unplug and
go in nature. Go in the woods, go in the forest,
go on the beach, go hiking. Be in nature. Get
that oxygen, that sunlight. It's going to reduce your emotional stress.
And this has been proven through neurosigns that grounding or
(36:26):
everything actually reduces emotional stress. That's part of neuro inflammatory model.
We have to reduce emotional stress. And a lot of
people that come to my office after we analyze their brain,
we find out are in this fight or flight mode,
the sympathetic tone within fear mode. Their minds racing a
million miles per hour. They're always stressed, They're always worry
(36:49):
even sometimes irritable, angry, aggressive. We see it all the time,
and it's getting worse and worse, especially even younger kids,
people in their twenties and teenagers. We got to rewire
the brain. You don't want these kids to be stuck
in this fight or flight mode. But the good news
is you can rewire your brain. There's hope. It's called neuroplasticity,
(37:12):
where if you figure out where the problem is, and
we do that in our offices, we could teach you
certain exercises to do that are natural. Not taking drugs,
medication injections, ivs, any surgeries, any deep brain stimulation, electric
shock therapy. It's all natural, holistic and integrated. Just like
you go to the gym and strength and a muscle.
(37:33):
You could strengthen your brain to reduce anxiety, reduce stress,
and get your brain out of that fight or flight mode,
therefore reducing neuroinflammation so you can function better, feel better,
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan,
and you're listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
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 Kaplan and you will learn natural, integrative, and holistic
(38:19):
approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism,
add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four posture pain, TBI,
skin and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan is most famous for
getting to the root cause of a wide variety of
brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional
(38:42):
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 3 (38:54):
Function better, feel better and live a better life. This
is doctor eric aplan and you're listening to boost your
brain power. We're talking about neuro inflammation in how to
reduce no inflammation to improve your memory, improve your focus,
your motivation, your time management, your executive functions, thereby reducing depression, anxiety,
(39:21):
preventing dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's. Who doesn't want to do that?
We all want that, but you are you willing to
do the work. Because there's no magic drug it's gonna
fix your brain. You gotta do the work, and it
starts with moving your body. We've got to stop this
sedentary lifestyle. Never sit for more than twenty minutes. I
(39:44):
call it the twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, you get
up for twenty seconds, move your body, walk twenty feet,
do twenty jumpin jacks, twenty push ups, twenty sit ups,
twenty squats, twenty lunges, twenty shoulder rolls. I want to
sitting to standing. I don't care what it is. Move
your body for twenty seconds every twenty minutes and look
(40:07):
twenty feet away. Save your eyes Just like you can
prove your memory by doing memory exercise, you can improve
your eyes by doing eye exercise. But if you're always
looking on your phone, looking on your computer, watching these
flat screen TVs and all these smart devices in the iPads,
your eyes are gonna get worse and worse and worse.
(40:28):
But if you start doing eye exercises, the best eye
exercise is called a brock string exercise. We haven't met
our office broc k. There are these little beads that
on our string, and you focus on one bead, then
focus on the next speed, then focus on the next speed.
Strengthen your eyes. You can actually improve your vision. But
you gotta do that sedentary lifestyle. We've got to get
(40:49):
rid of it. So now start following a twenty rule.
And even if it's a standing desk you work out,
you gotta move your body. If you're standing for twenty minutes,
that applies to you too. If you're sitting for twenty minutes,
that applies you move your body every twenty minutes for
twenty seconds. The sedentary lifestyle will increase neuro inflammation. The
twenty rule will decrease neuro inflammation. So when we exercise,
(41:15):
that is going to reduce neuro inflammation. And so you
got to do at least three days a week twenty
minute workouts. Doesn't have to be a lot, but you
kind of do. You can't just do it once a month,
all right, So three days a week for twenty minutes,
all right, if you do that. And I don't care
what it is going to the gym. I don't care
if it's playing basketball. I don't care if it's, you know,
(41:37):
doing a zoom a zoomba class. I don't care if
it's doing a pole dancing class. I don't care what
it is. Just move your body. I don't care if
you're going for bike ride, right, But you gotta do exercise,
play tennis with your friends, basketball, soccer, go rollerblade, go swimming, kayaking, skiing,
(42:06):
something where your heart starts beating fast you start sweating
twenty minutes, three times a week, twenty minutes. That's it.
Do you know if you work forty hours a week,
you sleep eight hours a night, you sell have over
seventy hours of free time to do what you want.
Seventy hours. We're talking about three twenty minute sessions. That's
(42:29):
one hour out of seventy free hours. And that's full sleep,
full time job. One out of seventy hours you gotta do. Okay,
you could do it all right. Exercises reduces systematic systematic
not just the brain all over. It reduces systematic inflammation.
(42:54):
And it does this by increasing bdn F. That's brain
toric neurotrophic factor, which supports brain repair. So everyone's looking
to do you could do it naturally through exercise. It's
no better way than to do it through exercise. You
gotta do aerobic exercise like you know, power walking, dancing, biking,
(43:18):
and you gotta do resistance training. You gotta do the
weights very important, all right. That helps reduce insulin resistance.
That's diabetes, and it's linked to neuro inflammation. They're gonna
call Alzheimer's thease diabetes type three. If you better start
lifting some weights. And when you lift weights, it also
increases your mood. It's very good for depression anxiety when
(43:40):
you lift weights. Not only just get your muscles stronger,
get your bones stronger. The number one way to reduce
osteoporosis and osteopenia is through weight resistant exercise. And you
could just do bands. You could use like push ups
or resistance and pull ups are resistance. Right, do some
pull ups. You know how hard pull ups are to do,
(44:01):
Just start doing it. I don't care how old you are.
Start with one pull up, then you do two pull ups.
Very important. Move your body daily the twenty rule. Exercise
three times a week for twenty minutes aerobic and weight
resists at exercise. Okay, now we gotta get your regular
sunlight Vitamin D. All right, So you gotta do ten
(44:23):
minutes in the morning when the sun rises, ten minutes
lunchtime when the sun's on top of you, in ten
minutes during sunset where the sun's going down. Go on
lots of vacations where you go to the beach and
you go out in the swimming and you go in
the ocean. Get sunlight Vitamin D. It's the most important vitamin.
It's not even a vitamin. Actually it's a hormone. But
(44:44):
there's no better vitamin than vitamin D. It prevents Alzheimer's, right,
it prevents sickness and cancer. Just read a study that
it literally prevents cancer. I mean, it's unstoppable. It helps
with your thyroid. You got hormone problems. You need vitamin D.
(45:06):
So it helps with your brain, helps with cancer prevention,
helps boost your immune system. Every single person that died
from COVID nineteen was vitamin D deficient, every single one.
And there's nobody that had high vitamin D levels that
died didn't exist. It's literally linked to your immune system.
(45:31):
It's linked to your thyroid, your hormones, linked to your mood.
They've actually proven vitamin D gets better results with depression
than antidepressant medications. Pharmaceutical industry doesn't want you to know
that because that's a big business. But more effective than
(45:53):
antidepressants is vitamin D. It's in the research. Go on PubMed,
look it up, vitamin D. So do it. If you
don't want to be depressed, you don't want Alzheimer's. You
want a strong immune system, you don't want cancer, you
don't want hormonal problems. You wanta a good diroid. Better
get your sunlight. And if you're not getting your sunlight,
(46:13):
you gotta supplement I like Ultra D five thousand by
Apex Energetics. We can get that at my office if
you want. But there is nothing better than vitamin D.
All right now, you gotta be careful with supplements because
a lot of supplements have contaminants. So I practice what's
called functional medicine, where you know, we don't just say,
(46:35):
oh uh, just take B twelve for energy and melatonin
for sleep, and you know, magnesium for your muscle cramps. Now,
it's like, we're gonna look at your blood work and
see which areas are deficient. You know, maybe you're dehydrated,
maybe you don't have stomach acid, maybe you don't absorb properly,
Maybe you have too much neuroinflammation that could be found
(46:58):
in the blood work. There's something called ESR homo sixteen
crp uh. These omega three omega six ratios tell us
how your inflammation is. But we gotta do brain evaluations.
The best brain evaluation is called a qEEG brain mapping.
(47:19):
It measures your alpha beta, fada delta waves and based
on the location of the abnormal brain waves, it will
tell us which areas of the brain are working well,
which areas are not, and it'll pick up white matter
inflammation in your brain. It'll actually pick up intestinal inflammation.
It's a really cool test. It tells us if you
have low dopamine, low acetylcholine, tells us if you had
(47:41):
a concussion. Heavy metal poisoning, tells us you have depression, anxiety,
memory problems, short term, long term working memory, if you
have balanced problems, visual problems, hearing problems. It tells us
if you have a thyroid problem like we were talking
about before, if you have sleep deprivation, if you have
difficulty shifting tests, motivation, planning, punctuality. It literally breaks down
(48:01):
the whole brain. It's normally six hundred dollars. The first
seven people to call, text or email you could get
this qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars, but
you gotta be one of the first seven people to
call or text two zero one two six one two
one five zero, or you can email info at kaplanbrainanbody
(48:23):
dot com telling them you want the qEEG brain mapping
for only twenty one dollars. There's another test called a
VNG or a VOG video oculography, and it measures your
eye movements fast, slow, and up and down and left
and right and in dark and in light and with
(48:43):
a target and without, And basically we're able to analyze
the different lobes of the brain and we could say
which parts of the brain are overactive. Maybe the right
brain's overactive and the left brain's underactive, and you have
this disconnect and that's why you have brain fog and
you can't think or you can't focus. That's why you
have anxiety or depression or whatever it is. Right, So
we can figure that out with this test. And for
(49:05):
the areas that are overactive, there's gonna be more people that.
You know, they worry a lot, they panic, they have insomnia,
they can't fall asleep or stay asleep, their minds wasting
a million miles per hour. They have ADHD, they're always worried.
They think of the future. You know, it's like, oh boy,
go we go, we going, going, going, or this might
pick up if there's an area that's underactive. People have
(49:28):
brain fog, low energy, low motivation or memory, can't focus,
can't think, always late, everything's delayed, slow to react right,
full metabolism. Even you know that is underactive, it could
(49:49):
pick that up. That's why I love this VNG. Now,
this test is normally six hundred dollars, but for the
first seven people to call, text or email, you could
get this test as well for only twenty one dollars.
The number to call or text is two zero one,
two six one two, one five zero, or you can
(50:10):
email info at Kaplinbraindonbody dot com. The last test is
a one on one with me, and I'm gonna go
over your qEEG. I'm gonna go over your VNG. If
you've already done blood work, we'll go over that. Or
if you're on a cat scan or MRIs or X
rays or any testing you've done, We'll go over there,
and then I'll do my own test. I'll listen to
your lungs, I'll listen to your heart, I'll listen to
(50:32):
your gut. I'll check out your balance, your posture, your
range of motion, your muscles, your nerves. Will check out
your alignmate, your bones. We'll check out your memory, how
you walk, how you stand on one leg, your reaction time.
Will do all full physical and neurological evaluation. This is
also normally six hundred dollars, but for the first seven
(50:53):
people to call, text or email you can get the
one on one with me for only twenty one dollars.
And if you want all three, just say all three
tests for twenty one dollars each. You want to be
one of the first seven callers or texters or emailers.
The number again is two zero one two six one
(51:15):
