can be overactive. It's called autoimmune disease. So when the brain's overactive, the immune system becomes overactive, and it starts attacking your thyroid and can create hashimotos, and it can attack your joints, creating rheumatoid arthritis, your gut causing silliac disease, or your brain causing MSS or pain all over calling fibromyalgia or skin problems or hair problems like psoriasis or lupis exima. These are all autommune diseases because the brain

is overactive. When the brain is overactive, we need to calm it down. It's not rocket science. Most people's brains are overactive. They're in stress mode. And what the worst thing to do is to have a stimulant. So a lot of people who have anxiety or difficulty sleeping actually drink coffee or have energy drinks, or eat a lot of sugar. These are all stimulants, and the stimulants will

increase an overactive brain. So, if you do have anxiety, difficulty sleeping, stress, panic, ADHD, the going you get distracted, can't focus, you can't think, you have negative rumination. We got to calm down your brain. And the good news is there's a process called neuroplasticity where you could actually rewire your brain to get it in a more relaxed state. And what that means instead of being in the fighter flight mode, you're in a more relaxed rest and digest state.

And so that means we need to actually strengthen what's called your parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system is going to get you in a more relaxed state. There's four nerves that you can activate that's going to relax your brain to reduce your stress and get you out of that fighter flight mode into a calm, relaxed, rest

and deyes state. So the four nerves that are going to relax your nervous system, it's called the ocular motor nerve, the facial nerve, the glossopharyngeal nerve, and the vegas nerve. Now you don't have to memorize them because I'll explain to what each these nerves dick. So the ocular motor is your eye exercises. There's lots of eye exercises that you could do to strengthen this cranial nerve number three

called the ocular motor nerve. Now, you could do a few things such as near far exercises, brock string exercises, no no yes yes exercises, microscods, visual pursuits, vestibular ocular reflexes, optokinetic I exercises. There's all these different eye exercises and they could be applied different ways to stimulate the ocular mode or nerve to get you out of that stress mode. So the eyes are very important to heal the brain. The eyes are the only part of the brain we

can actually see, right, I can't see your brain. I can't see your spinal cord. I can't see your central nervous system. I can't see your peripherle nerves. We can't see any of that part of the nervous system. But the eyes we can actually see. So we could diagnose and treat lots of conditions through the eyes, and not just for the brain. You can actually tell if there's a liver problem by looking at your eyes, if they become yellow or jaundice. You could tell if there's a

hard problem. You can actually look inside the eyes and look at the red arteries and the veins and look at the size of them and see, you know, is there increased tension or pressure. You can see if there's issues with increase pressure, you know, like a tumor or something like that. You could see how the circulation is going. You could see so many things through the eyes. The eyes are the window into the brain and the nervous system.

So in our offices in New York and New Jersey, we do lots of eye exercises but specific to the weak areas, and we can use eyes to stimulate different areas of the brain. The one we're talking about now, it's called the ocular motor nerve, and there's different specific exercise that can strengthen that nerve to increase input into your parasympathetic nervous system to get you out of that stress mode into a calm relax So that's cranal nerve three.

That's the first of four nerves that will relax your nervous system. The second nerve is called the facial nerve, and that's pretty self explanatory. It innervates your face. So we could do different sensory types of stimulation, motor types of stimulation. Even the ear rubbing on what's called your tragus will stimulate the facial nerve. The optic blink reflex where you blow air into the eye to elicit a

blink that actually stimulates the facial nerve. Taste sweet sour, salty on the tip of the tongue actually activates the facial nerve. So we can do sensory motor We could work on the ear, the eyes, the tongue all to stimulate this facial nerve, just like you could go to the gym and do weight lifting and bicep curls. I am a functional neurologist and a brain expert who teaches you neurologic exercises that you could do to improve your

brain function. Now, don't come to me if you want medication, if you want a xanax, if you want anti anxiety antidepressants, Alexa pro, if you want lithium, if you want all these horrible drugs that have lots of side effects that shut off your brain. We don't want to shut off your brain. All we want to do is relax the overactive areas of the brain. But the areas of the brain that are working well, we don't want to shut

those off. So when you take those medications to reduce your anxiety, you might be reducing your anxiety or depression, but you're also shutting off the good parts of your brain that create happiness and joy and love and passion and energy. You don't want to be walking around like a zombie. So if you want to actually get to the root cause of your neurological condition, if you're sick of hiding symptoms with medication, then this is the show for you. We are the people that are gonna help

you out. All our offices in New Jersey, New York. If you're far away, we do virtual visits, resume or phase time or whats that We are here for you to teach you exercises you could do to calm down your stressed out brain, to reduce anxiety, reduce your cordis all your stress hormone, Get better sleep, get rid of that fatigue, improve brain function, no more brain fog, because we want to get your nervous system in a relaxed state.

All right, So we got the oculo motor cranial nerve three, that's the first nerve, the facial nerve, cranial nerve seven that's the second nerve. Now the third nerve that you could activate to relax your nervous system. It's called the glosso pharyngeal nerve. The glosso for angel is basically your tongue and your back of your throat like your palate.

You can activate that with the gag reflex. So you get your toothbrush, get a tongue depressed, or go all the way to back of your throat and hit the back of the throat, not to the point where you throw up, but where you will listen a gag, like a big gag reflex that will stimulate this glosso pharyngeal nerve. You could also do taste bitter in the back of

the tongue. If you put bitter in the back of the tongue, that also activates cranial nerve nine, the glosso fyryngeal nerve, which is gonna get you in a relaxed state. And to get better, you could do dark chocolate, you could do some bitter herbs, you could do coffee grinds. Don't swallow it, but just hold it in the back of your tongue for thirty seconds and then spit it out. That will literally activate this glosso pharyngeal nerve, which gets

you in a more relaxed state. And the fourth nerve that gets you in a relaxed state is the vagus nerve, the vague nerve. You can stimulate by gargling really intensely for thirty seconds. You could do a big swallow, get a bunch of saliva on your tongue, and just do one big goff ball swallow. Imagine a golf ball that

you're swallowing. Make a loud sound, different humming sounds, different animal noises, different tongue noises, anything with the back of your throat, screaming, coughing, sneezing something where you use your mouth throat make different noises. That's going to help with your vegus nerve. All right, So those are the four nerves part of your parasympathetic nervous system that are going to relax your brain get you out of that stress mode. So we got the oculo motor, the facial, the glossal

far angel, and the vegas. And if you activate all four of those nerves together and you do them for thirty seconds, three times a day, for twenty one straight days, you start to rewire your brain in a process called neuroplasticity to get you out of that stress mode, that fight or flight mode, into a relaxed rest and digest.

When you're in that fighter flight mode, it could cause high blood pressure, it could lead to cancer, cause diabetes from the pancreas, digestive problems from your esophagus and your stomach and your intestines. It could cause acid reflux, gas stritus, also a rate of colitis, ibs, urinary urgency, urinary incontinence, a rectile dysfunction, hormonal issues, period issues, menstrual issues, fertility issues. All of this can be affected by you being in

stress mode. So it doesn't just cause muscle tension and spasm and back pain, but actually affects your organs. So if you want to really have the highest quality of life, start working on your parasympathetic nervous system so you fuck function better, feel better, and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your brain power more when we come back from the break.

show for you. Don't misboost your brain power with doctor Eric Caplan and you will learn natural, integrative, and 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 Caplan is most famous for getting to the root cause of a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional, meta and risky surgeries. To contact the doctor Kamplin. You can call his team that two are one two six one two one five zero or visit his website at kaplindc dot com. Function better, feel better and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening

to boost your brain power. A lot of our patients come for help with their brain. A specific part of the brain that is very common is the frontal cortex. When the frontal cortex has an imbalance from left to right, we can see a variety of symptoms. For example, a lot of the childhood developmental delays come from a functional disconnect of the frontal cortext that includes autism, Aspergers, dyslexia,

add ADHD Turet's syndrome. These are these developmental delays and a lot of the times it's because there's an imbalance of the frontal cortex. So just like you could strengthen your muscle by working out, doing weightlifting exercising, you could actually fix your brain that's underdeveloped by doing neurological treatments. So there's a process called neuroplasticity where you could rewire

the brain through neurologic exercises. But if it's one of these conditions, we'd have to be very specific for that frontal cortex, and the frontal cortex is activated with a lot of different types of brain exercises. What's called ciccads, which are fast eye movements, is really good for the frontal cortex, little finger movements, smell you know, these are

all really good for the frontal core. But if you have a developmental delay such as autism, where the brain's underdeveloped, before you even work on the motor and the sensory aspect, you have to work on what's called primitive reflexes. Primitive reflexes with autism kids or add or ADHD, or dyslexia or turets. Basically, what happens is you have these reflexes that are supposed to be gone after one year of each but with children with these developmental delays, these primitive

reflexes are retained. So the first step is to catch up the brain to development is to do these neurologic exercises which get rid of or eliminate these primitive reflexes. Now the brain can develop properly. The problem is the modern approach seems to be okay, let's do speech pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, behavioral therapy.

then it starts to work much better. All right. Now, other things that can happen with the frontal cortex are anxiety and depression. And when you have depression, that means your frontal cortex is underactive, and when you have anxiety that means your frontal cortex is overactive. And you might have both. It's like a bi polar or manic depressant. So we have one side underactive and one side overactive. Stick around for the end of the show and I'll

tell you what you could do about that. Now, when you have these imbalances of the frontal cortex, you're going to have areas that are underactive that need to be stimulated. Right, So if you have depression, we need to strengthen your brain activate it, you know, especially right now in December, it's a very common time for seasonal affect disorder SAD, and that's where people get depressed in the winter because

they're vitamin D deficient. If you want a good Vitamin D recommendation, please email me info at Kaplanbrain Imbody dot com. Ninety nine percent of the vitamin d's out there are crap. Don't go to CBS or Whole Foods or Vitamin Chop or GNC to get a vitamin D. That is crap. They're full of impurities, they don't get absorbed, they're contaminants. We don't want those fillers, okay, So don't ever get a vitamin D at the store, right. If you want

the good one, just email me right. Very important during the winter. I personally take ten thousand on you during the winter and fat five thousand during the summer. Everybody's vitamin D. To fishing in the Northeast, you know, it's and even when you're outside, you gotta wearing the hat, glasses, your long sleeves, long pans, everything's covered. There's not a lot of skin exposure, all right, so we sometimes we need to supplement if there's deficiency, but most people over supplement.

So you don't need all these multi vitamins. You don't want to take B twelve and vitamin C and zinc and magnesium and calcium. It's no, no, no, no, no, Stop taking all the vitamins. Only only take vitamin is if you have evidence that you're decreased in it in your blood work and you know that there's no other reason that you are a decreased. For example, you don't want to take iron because you're anemic. You might be anemic because you don't have enough stomach acid. Right. You

don't want to take melatonin because you can sleep. Maybe you can't sleep because your sympathetic nervous system is over firing. Right, So you gotta be careful with what you take. You need analysis of your blood work done properly so you could figure out what exactly you're deficient in, what you need, what you need more of? Do you need to drink more water? Do you need to get more sunlight? You need to eat these different foods to avoid these foods.

Do you have too much inflammation? You have poor absorption? You need more bacteria. Whatever it is, we gotta do a thorough investigation. Don't just take supplements because something you read is good for you. Everybody's an individual. Most people are taking way too many supplements. You should only have to take a supplement is absolutely necessary. That's the vitamin D is pretty much the only one I take, right.

And you know most people also need probiotics because you know, they're always taking antibiotics, and they're taking antibacterial lotions and antibacterial sprays and antibacterial soaps, and then I mean everything's antibacterial. That's not good. I'm probiotics. I like pro bacteria. Body is mostly bacteria, right, So that's seasonal affect disorder. When your frontal cortex is weak, you don't need lexapro lithium.

You don't need all these medications. Maybe you just need some more sunlight, some more exercise, some progression in your life. Make progression in your life. That's the key to depression is progression, all right, And sometimes you can get depressed, like my wife just lost her father. She's depressed, she's crying.

Then her doctor's like, oh, take some antidepressants. I'm like, what you're supposed to be depressed when you lose your father, You're supposed to cry, You're supposed to be sad, feel those emotions, Let those tears out of your body, and I'm just there for he. Just give her a hug and say anything that's gonna make her feel better. No magic word that gets rid of, you know, a depression

from losing a loved one. Then she's got to make progression in her life, make progression in her relationships, make progression in her health, working out how much water she drinks. Then she starts to feel better about herself, getting more socials, getting out in the real world, helping others do in charity. That's how you get out of a depression. Now. The opposite is the anxiety, right, that's the overactive frontal cortex,

all right, that's where people have the eight hdther. Their mind's going so fast they can't get those thoughts out of their head. They always get worried, They fear and anger. It's overactive. You gotta calm it down. Easy way to calm down your overactive nervous system is to do figure eight infinity symbols. You do that for thirty seconds, three times a day. That has been proven through neurosigns. To

reduce anxiety. Make sure you keep your arms straight and cross over the middle of the body, middle of the body. Drawing figure eights thirty seconds, three times a day. Very good for anxiety. Now what else? Helpings in the frontal cortex. That's where dementia starts, frontal temporal dementia. You don't want dementia. You better start doing frontal cortex exercises. You better start doing smell. If you lost your smell from covid or

from the vaccine, this is an issue. You're gonna have a weak frontal cortex if you lost it from smoking or drugs. You gotta work on that. You gotta rewire your brain. It mean your frontal cortex is weak. You gotta really work on that. You gotta prevent dementia. So to bred dementia, you gotta do novelty, new things. You gotta stimulate your brain purposely. Start remembering your grocery list, remember people's phone numbers, remember addresses. Start learning different languages,

learning a musical instrument, learning different dance moves. You gotta meet new people, go to new places. Novelty is the key if you want to prevent Alzheimer's In dementia, which starts from your frontal cortex, you better start doing new things. You better be uncomfortable. You better go out of your daily routine and do new things that your body's not used to doing. Start eating with your left hand, start playing a new sport, taking out a new hobby, joining

a new club. You have to do new things. You're gonna challenge your brain. And then you've got to feed it all the energy it needs. The sunlight, the oxygen, the water, the food. Give the brain the fuel delivery it needs to reach optimal potential. Parkinson's disease also occurs in the frontal cortex. But we could pick this up early on and look at your gate and see if your arms swinging properly, or how your facial expressions are, or how your pupil size is, or how your balance is,

how your posture is, how your gut motility is. All right, we can analyze the brain and the body to figure out if you're predisposed to Parkinson's, which usually starts in that frontal cortex. Same thing with Alzheimer's, same thing with dementia, anxiety depression autism add ADHD to dyslexia, aspergers to rats that all starts from the frontal cortex, so we have to make sure we take care of our brains so we function better, feel better, and live a better life.

know is a neurologic test. But where you would draw different letters on your back or draw different numbers and you'd have to say, okay, what letter that was the letter B or that was the letter M. That is measuring your propioception, your sensory input. That's actually a good neurologic exercise. So you could do that with your friends and family and say, Okay, I'm gonna draw a letter on your back. You tell me what letter it is, or I'm gonna draw it on your arm or your leg,

and you tell me what letter it is. And if you're inaccurate, that means that area of your brain is weak. Now I am a brain expert, and what I do is analyze the brain and if I find a weak area, I could actually give you neurologic exercises to strengthen it. Think of me like a physical therapist, but for the brain. So if we have these sensory issues, we have to do sensory different types of input. Okay, So graphesthesia is one neurologic exercise to test your parietal core text. Another

exercise is called graphstigia. Right, so we got graphstigia's number one. And the other exercise it's called stereoagnosis stereognosis. The second exercise is where you have to identify certain things. So you could take like a pencil, a pen, a highlighter, a cran, a marker, and you put it all in the you know, a hat, and then you put your hand in the hat and you pick one of them out and you say, okay, that's the cran and then you put that back in up and you pick another

one that's the pencil. So you feel it, You feel the eraser, you feel the wood, the little metal thing, and then when you feel the pen you feel like the little cap and the little thing on the edge, the little button that you press. And so you use your hands, use your sensory input. Or you could do it with ball as you play a baseball, a golf ball, a tennis ball, all rocketball a softball, and then you gotta pick up this one's a little bit smaller, and

it's got those little rough edges up. This one's a little fuzzy. This one's harder, this one's more rubbery. So so then you can identify or different materials conton and silk and polyester and wool, and you use your hands to feel. Use your senses. We don't use our senses enough anymore. Gotta start using You gotta exercise your brain like you exercise your muscle, So exercise your touch, exercise

your smell. How many times you do smelling exercises. If you want to improve your smell, you gotta do smelling exercises. It's not rocket science. If you want to improve your vision, you have to do vision exercises. You want to improve your hearing, you have to do hearing exercises. It's not rocket science. But no, nobody does vision exercises. They just keep buying glasses. Well, if you start doing vision exercises, you could actually take off your glasses and you won't

need to use them anymore. The best eye exercise is called a brock string eye exercise. We have those that off at our office. You can just email me info at kaplombrainobody dot com. I'll tell you how to get those. Those are the best. They can literally improve your near vision and your far vision. You can get rid of your reading glasses, and you can get rid of your distance glasses. You get rid of your bifocals, you get rid of your contacts. I used to wear glasses one

hundred percent of the day. Now i wear it ten percent of the day because I'm exercising my eyes and do my brock string exercises, do smell exercises. When your smell gets better, then every of the food's more enjoyed. Your brain works at a higher level. Smells very important, and the way to exercise your smell is to peanut butter is actually a great smell test. That's what a lot of doctors use. See how far away can I hold the peanut butter jar away from my nose and

still smell it? So you're strengthening same thing with your hearing. How far away you know, can I put the speaker and still hear it? How low can I put the sound on the speaker and I can still hear it? And you want to strengthen your hearing, how far can I stand away and still read. You want to strengthen your eyes, but you got to exercise it. You want to prove your memory, you gotta do memory exercises. You want to improve your posture, you gotta do posture exercises.

We want to prove our sensory input, our parietal cortex, our parropial seption. We gotta do sense exercises. The touch exercise is a great sensory exercise. So you just think, Okay, I'm gonna touch the second crease of my ring finger, and then you try and touch it with your eyes closed. I'm gonna touch the outer edge of my right nostril and then try and touch it with your eyes closed.

I'm gonna try and touch the my wedding ring, or my watch, or my necklace, or you know, something very specific, right the very outer edge of my eyebrow, my beauty mark on my left arm. And then if you you know, open up your eyes and you see that you missed it by an inch, then you start over and you try it again. It's for your proprioception, and if your propial oceptions off, you might confuse your lefts and rights. Everybody knows. Somebody they always confuse their lefts and the rights.

That means their parietal cortex is not working. Guess what if you strengthen your brain through a process called neuroplasticity, and you rewire your parietal cortex, you will not confuse your lefts and rights anymore. You'll not get out of the subway, not know which way's north, which way south, which way's east west, where are you? Or you're bumping into things. That's also people with their parietal cortex not working.

They're very clumsy. They're dropping things, they're knocking things over, they're bumping into the couch. It's really bad at night. That means you have poor paropial sception. You could do an eye exercise for that. They're called visual pursuits, which is just slow eye exercise. Just hold a pen in front of you and you slowly go left to right and just follow it. Very good for your parietal cortex.

And we said you could do the graph hosthesia with the different numbers, the stereognosis touching the different balls or the pens. Now you got the touch tests, you got the visual pursuits. There's so many neurologic exercise I got thousands of exercises. I'm like a physical therapist but for your brain. But we got to figure out which area of your brain is weak. One of the best tests to let us know which areas of the brains are weak. It's called a q EEG brain mapping. This is where

you wear a cap. It sort of looked like a swimmer's cap, but it's got electrodes attached to it, and it measures all the different areas of your brain. Your frontal cortex, the parietal, temporal, the excip but the cerebellum. It tells us, Okay, do you have depression, Do you have anxiety? Do you have troubles with focus, motivation, organization planning? Do you have sensory issues, balance problems, headaches, dizzyness? Do you have heavy metal poisoning? Do you have a concussion.

Do you have a pathology. Do you have low dopamine, low acedo coling? Do you have heavy metal poisoning, sleep deprivation? Do you have insomnia? Do you have difficulties shifting tasks? It literally breaks down all the different areas of the brain, all the different memory, short term memory, long term memory, working memory, sequential memory. It literally breaks it down, all the verbal the speech. This test is amazing. It's non invasive, there's no radiation at all. You don't have to sit

in some small tube. It measures your alpha brain waves, which is you know how we normally are. It measures your beta brain waves, which when you really focus and think and study and present something at work or you know, you gotta read a book or whatever it is. That's the beta that measures your theta. That's when you're in daydreaming mode, you're looking at the window, you're sitting in the woods, you're listening to the bird or in la

la land. That's when sometimes we come up with creative ideas. You think of these new things uh these uh ingeing it and ideas, and it's like the theata makes us really come up with stuff that we normally wouldn't think of. And then the delta that's when you got to relax. That's when you're in sleeping and that's when everything's come right.

So the qEEG brain mapping measures all these different brain waves, and based on the ab normal brain waves and the location of where we find these abnormal brainwaves, we can literally say which area the brains are functioning at the highest levels and which areas of the brain are not functioning, then we could come up with a diagnosis and a recommendation on neurologic exercises are habits you could do to

increase input. Now, don't come to me if you want some pill, some drugs, some medication, some IV, some herb, some supplement. You know that's not what I do. I'm the doctor that teaches you how to fix your own brain by finding your weaknesses and teaching your process is called neuroplastics to rewire your brain to connect those weak areas so you could function at the highest level. Your

brain is the most important organ. It controls everything. It controls your blood pressure, it controls diabetes, your digestion, your energy, your hormones, your sleep, your mood, your balance. Everything's controlled by your brain. So you have to analyze it so you know what you could do to prevent future problems. Don't wait till their bed to start working on them.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Now, this qEEG brain mapping test is normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people to call, text or email, you can literally get this qEEG brain mapping for only twenty one dollars. The number is six four six two two one six seven three eight. The email is info at caplinbrainebody dot com. Again you have to be one of the first seven people. Just say you want to be the twenty one dollars qEEG brain Mapping from the

Boost Your Brain Power Radio show. The phone number is six four six two two one six seven three eight, or you can email info at kaplanbrainebody dot com. Because you want to function better, feel better and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to Boost your brain Power.

show for you. Don't miss Boost your Brain Power with Doctor Eric Kaplan and you will learn natural, integrative and holistic approaches to modern day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism, a concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four posture pain, TBI, skin, and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplin is most famous for getting to the root cause of a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than

treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To contact the doctor Kamplin, you can call his team at two O one two six one two one five zero or visit his website at kaplindc dot com.

it's the director. It's the conductor of the whole orchestra, and it's telling everybody what to do. It's telling your body to move had a thing kind of coordinate out of balance, how to make sure everything gets done properly. It's it's making sure you don't go too fast, too slow, too high, too low, too left, too right. It's getting everything balanced and coordinated. And without it, we'd be falling down all the time, wouldn't be able to walk. And

that's what makes us human is that we're bipedal. Right, we can use our hands to create instruments and tools and technology and fire and hunt and gather and do all this stuff that has made us human and separated us from all the other species. Right, because they're all on four right, everyone's basically on four limbs, we're the ones that are totally upright, and that's considered the highest evolutionary standard. Fortunately, due to the technology, we're reversing instead

of becoming upright, we're all coming hunched over. And when you're hunched over, your brain doesn't work right. Right. Somebody's depressed, they're all slouched down. Someone who's energetic and happy, they're upright, their chins up right. So your posture is directly related to your brain function, and your balance is directly related

to your cerebellum. That's why when you drink alcohol, that's the first area of your brain that's affected because it requires the most oxygen, the most blood flow, the most brain cells all comes from this cerebellum. So when you get pulled over and they think you're drunk driving. All those neurologic tests that the police are doing are for your cerebellum. And say, oh, you know, walk a straight line and staying on one leg and touch your nose.

Those those are all sarahbellar tests, right, So if you can't put your hand out and touch your nose accurately, that means that your sarahbellum is off. Or if you can't stand on one leg, that means your cerebellum's off. Now, if you miss your nose with your right hand really bad and you can stand on your right leg, then that probably means that your right cerebellum is decreased in function. And you can actually increase your right cerebellum by spinning.

If you just have one of those office chairs and you spin to the right, that stimulates your right cerebellum. Pretty cool. It's just a brain exercise. It's not rocket science. Oh, I can't stand on my right leg, I can't touch my right nose. My right cerebellum must be off. Let me do an logic exercise to stimulate my right cerebellum. And wow, now I could stand on my right leg, And now I could touch my nose with my right hand.

Then you know that your neurologic exercise improved. Just do a little science experiment, but you gotta actually challenge you gotta do a brain exercise. Just like you could exercise your muscle if it's weak, you could exercise your brain if it's weak. And spinning in a chair activate your cerebellum. Pretty cool stuff, right, Also another exercise that increases input into your cerebellum, and everyone could try this at home is where you do and this will be for your

left cerebellum. We'll try this one. You take your left leg and draw clockwise circles and then with your left hand draw the number six. That's gonna activate your cerebellum. Gotta coordinate. Standing on a soft cushion works your cerebellum your balance. Falls are the number one cause of accidents in every single age group except fifteen to twenty one year old men, that is car accidents. But other than that age group, everyone else. Falls are the number one

cause of accidents. They cause concussions. Oh my god, here sees so many concussions and traumatic brain injuries, and a lot of people who have brain fog, memory depression, anxiety, focus problems. It comes from times they hit their head years ago. Just because you got hit in the head ten years ago doesn't mean it's not affecting your brain now. Sometimes Alzheimer's takes forty years to develop. But you don't want to wait till your memory starts going before you

start working on your brain. Just like you brush your teeth every day and take care of your teeth, start exercising your brain every day, whether it's drawing that circle with the number SI, trying to balance on one leg, trying to coordinate your hand to your nose, doing smelling exercises, vision exercises, memory exercises. We have to challenge our brain. Your brain's like a muscle. You'll use it or you

lose it. People understand going to the gym and exercising every day, or going for a walk every day, But when I tell them they got to exercise their brain every day, it's just a paradigm shit. But if you think about it, what's more important your brain or your teeth. But you're committed to brushing your teeth every day for your whole entire life, start being committed to exercising their

brain every day for your whole entire life. If you want your brain to be strong and healthy, if you want to end up like everybody else with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, that's the ninety nine percent of Americans. Don't be like them. Be the one percent whose memory gets better as they get older, whose vision improves as they get older. You can be that one percent. Your posture can improve as you get older, you can get more energy, your bones

can get stronger, your muscles can get stronger. You just have to do the work. Do not believe the lie that your brain and body get worse as you get older. That's the biggest lie you've ever been told in your life. Maybe it's because you're not doing the things you're supposed to be doing to improve your health and increase brain function through a process called neuroplasticity to make your areas of the brain stronger and function at the highest level possible.

But you have to figure out which areas of the brain are weak, which areas are underactive, which areas are overactive. The best tests to determine which areas are underactive and which areas are overactive. It's called a VNG Video nostography, and this is a test where you wear these cool goggles.

They got infrared cameras on them that measure your eye movements that go left and right and up and down and in light and dark and with head turns and fast and slow, and we measure all the different ways your brain works. It's non evasive, there's no radiation, you don't have to sit in some small tube, there's no contrast fluid. It's super quick. It only takes about ten to fifteen minutes. And it's diagnostic of how your brain

is functioning. If your brain's overactive, you know, you might suffer from like ADHD, anxiety, might worry, might have difficulty sleeping, You might have heartpower petations, high blood pressure, might have difficulty losing weight, might have panic attacks. Right, that's if you're OVERACTI. If you're underactive, might have fatigue, depression, poor focused brain fog, low motivation, poor metabolism, constipation, poor bladder control, fatigue. Right,
