I'm your host, doctor Eric Kapler. If you truly want to be healthy, it all starts with your mourning rituals. You have to create these good habits that your brain starts to stimulate in the morning to increase cortisol and testosterone, and that helps you to relax at night to decro
decrease the cortisol and increase the melatonin. That is good circadian rhythms. It's controlled by your pineal gland in your brain. But we gotta start off with a good morning ritual, all right. You need that power hour, that first hour in the morning. Right, So let's say you sleep from ten pm to six am. That first power hour six am to seven am will get your day going. That's when you have to do everything that's important for
your health. The most important thing is exercise, So you have to exercise first thing in the morning. That helps boost your brain power, helps to boost your immune system, helps to boost your energy levels, reduces anxiety depression, helps with memory and focus and helps you sleep better that night as well. You have to exercise in the morning, so find an exercise that you like to do. You don't want to do stuff that you find annoying.
You want to do stuff that you find fun, that's challenging, that's stimulating, that makes you excited to do in the morning. That way you're more likely to do it. Find stuff that you really like to do, all right, So first thing in the morning is exercise. You also need to drink water first thing in the morning. Water is best if it's warmer, If you have a pinch of pink and Malayan salt or Celtic salt to give you the minerals. You want to stay away from gatorade, Pevy light.
That stuff's very unhealthy. It has a lot of sugar as food dye. It's got artificial flavors and sweeteners and not very healthy. Not a lot of minerals, all right. That's why you like the salt that gives you your minerals, and you want to stay away from the plastics anyway, so you don't get yourself a nice reverse osmosis little filter for home, and then add some minerals in there as well, all right, so first thing in the morning, exercise, first thing in the morning, drinking warm, warm lemon
water with salt, just a pinch, not a lot. What else do you have to do in the morning. You got to do breathing exercises. You got to get your lungs going. So not only get your muscles going with physical exercise, but you gotta do breathing exercises. The best breathing exercises inhale for forest seconds, hold it for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds. You want to breathe from your diaphragm, so when you inhale, your diaphragm goes down and out, and when the new exhale it comes back
in. You gotta do this for thirty seconds. None of this you have to do for too long, right, You could just do a five minute exercise in the morning, but you exercise for five minutes. I don't care if it's just running one lap around your block or doing a mile bike ride, just something five minutes. In that first power hour, you have to exercise for at least five minutes every day. In that first hour, you have to drink at least one glass of warm lemon water with salt every morning.
It's very important. You have to do your breathing exercises just three times inhale four, hold seven, exhale eight. Just do it three times. We want to meditate in the morning. I do a thirty second meditation. The relax technique. Well, I just sit down usually my back woods. Well you could do it anyway. You could do it in the sunlight. But what you do is you just close your eyes. See relax, relax, relax. That's your mantra for thirty seconds. You say it thirty times
each time you relax certain muscles in your body. Start with the top of your head and go all the way down to the toes. So you just find thirty points. You say thirty relaxes. You start with the top of the head. Relax the muscles, the forehead relax, the temples relax, the jaw relax, the eyes relax, the cheeks relax, the chin relax, the neck relax, the shoulders relax. You get you go all the way down, all the way down to your toes. Well, you have
to do is thirty seconds. This is in your power hour. You could do all this in one hour. Five minute exercise one minute breathing exercise, thirty second drinking water, thirty second meditation, and we still got about fifty five minutes left in your first power hour. There's no reason you can't do this. What else do you want to do? You want to use your journal? Gratitude journal, you write what you're grateful for. I'm grateful I have a roof up over my head. I'm grateful I have food to eat
today. I'm grateful I have clothes on my back. You have to be grateful for all the stuff that most people take for granted. Grateful I could lock my door at night. Grateful I have a bathroom and working plumbing. I'm grateful I have electricity. Grateful I have a car. Grateful I have a job. Grateful I have a wife. Grateful I have a kid, whatever it is. Grateful I have a dog. Grateful I know where my next meal is coming from. Grateful I can see, grateful, I can
hear. Start to be grateful for the little things in life that if you didn't have, all you would do is give anything to get that back. Right, if you became blind, you would do anything to get your sight back. But guess what, if you get diabetes, you could be blind. But does that stop you from eating that sugar, drinking that soda, drinking that snapple, that juice, that lemonade, eating that bread, that pasta, that rice, that potato. Does that stop you knowing that you
might get blind? If you get diabetes, you might get amputated. You can get these neuropathies from diabetes where you literally have to get your limbs amputated. And that's not even talking about the true health cons coinstance of diabetes, which is Alzheimer's disease. They're actually going to change the name of Alzheimer's disease to diabetes type three because it's a combination of diabetes type one and diabetes type
two. If you have diabetes, you are greatly increasing your chance of getting Alzheimer's disease. I don't want Alzheimer's disease. I don't want to be blind. I don't want to need my limbs amputated. That's not enjoying your life. I have people that say, I gotta enjoy my life. I'm gonna eat all the sugar I want. Well, guess what. You're not going to enjoy your life if you're blind, if your limbs are amputated, if you have dementia and Alzheimer's disease, if you have obesity, heart disease,
cancer. Guess what loves sugar is cancer. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in America, and it thrives off cancer. Loves cans love sugar. Sugar is one of the primary causes of cancer. But guess what's not good either is the sugar replacements aspartain. Yeah, a couple of weeks ago, the FDA and the h or WHO both agreed that aspartain is completely healthy. It's completely safe. This is the FDA and the WHO said that aspartain
is completely safe. And this is why I have a hard time trusting these organizations, because aspartain is not safe. It's one of the most toxic chemicals you could put in your body. Some countries have banned it. But it's in all your diet drinks, the diet sodas, the diet snapples, the sugar free products, the sugar free gum, all these sugar free it's full
of aspartaine. But it's not just aspartaine that's bad. It's all the artificial sweeteners whatever it is that people use in their coffee and tea splendid and sweet and low, and those are all toxic. They could cause cancer, they can cause aneurysm, they can cause heart disease. They're toxic. Stay away
from sugar, but stay away from the sugar replacements as well. If you don't want to get diabetes, if you don't want to get Alzheimer's, if you don't want to lose your vision, if you don't want to get neuropathy, stay away from the sugar and the sugar replacements. We're going to continue the conversation about the Morning Power Hour when we come back from the break. This is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to oost your brain power.

potential and prevent future diseases, that this is the 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, add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo,

I'm your host, doctor Eric Kaplan.
We were talking about the morning Power Hour and we said we want to avoid diabetes. Avoid sugar and sugar replacements as well. Sugar can cause cancer. Chemicals can cause cancer. Stay away from the heavy metals. Stay away from the plastics, Stay away from the all this cleaning bleaches, and stay away from the food dies. And stay away from the pesticides and herbicides, glyphosate round up. Stay away from all the cleaning products for your dishes and
your clothes, laundry detergents. Stay away from all those chemicals to clean your house pledge. And you know lsol and FA breeze and so all chemicals. Stay away from the chemicals. The suntan lotions. People think they're trying to prevent cancer by putting loads and loads of suntan lotion and sun sprays and sunscreens on their skin. But guess what. Those chemicals that you're putting on your skin can actually cause cancer. All those lotions you use for dry skin,
those are bad chemicals. All those soaps, shampoos, condition deodorant, toothpaste, all that stuff you got in the pharmacy. CBS got to be careful. There's so many products that cause cancer. But don't wait till you get cancer to stop using this stuff. Start now and prevent cancer. An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure. You know, I'm very passionate about this because I had a very close family member that had stage three ovarian cancer and she was told she was going to die unless she did chemo. But we helped her cure herself with cancer without the chemo. And she had stage three ovarian cancer. She was given a life sentence unless she did chemotherapy. We went to six different oncologists. They all said she needed chemotherapy.
But when we went to the chemo award, it was not pretty. And this person was young, healthy, She looked healthy, she was thin, she had all this energy and vibrancy. But she found out she had cancer on a day which she was stressed, emotionally stressed, and she had this pain in her lower abdomen and they found out after doing testing it was cancer, but it was caused by the stress. So not only can sugar cause cancer, but emotional stress can cause cancer. Emotional stress is called the silent
killer because you don't know what's happening. But when we went to the chemo award to check out the cure for cancer, it looked like these people were dying. They were all sitting in a big circle. They all had this horrible color to their skin. It looked like gray. They didn't look alive. The smell in this chemo ward was the most putrid smell you could ever imagine. They were all looked up to this chemo and they looked gray.
They smelled like they were rotting. Their hair was coming out. And I looked at this beautiful lady right next to me who was told she's dying of cancer and to cure herself of cancer, she needed to do this chemo therapy, and I thought, how is this the cure of what we did instead of doing chema, we did it naturally and we cured her of cancer. But she did it all on her own. She didn't do any medicine, she didn't see any doctors. She just did her research. And she found
out about sugar. She found out about sugar replacements, she found out about chemicals, she found about emotional stress. She quit her job, she moved out in New York City. You know it was life changes. Get a water filter, get rid of all the cleaning products, start exercising, start praying, start meditating, Get rid of the hair dyes, nail polishes, makeup, lotions, sprays, sun protection, all that stuff. Got rid of every possible thing that she could think of that she read about that was
linked to cancer, and then she cured herself. The human body is amazing at curing itself if we take care of our bodies properly. You only get one body in this life, so you have to take care of it. Prevent cancer, prevent heart disease, prevent Alzheimer's, prevent diabetes, prevent obesity, prevent lung disease, prevent immune system problems, prevent digestive issues. You could do it, but you gotta do the work. Nothing in life is given to you without work. But if you put in the work, you'll
get the results. And the work starts from the first thing in the morning, that power hour. Do not start your morning with a failure. And what's a failure pressing the snooze that's a failure. You set a goal to wake up at a certain time and you didn't do it. So do not start your day pressing the snooze alarm. Once you set that along, Let's say at six am, that's when we said we want to get up.
You could do the countdown like a rocket ship, you know, five and your brain says, oh, I just want to sleep a little bit, and you go four. He said, oh man, I could just fall back right asleep. I want to stay under these covers. Three. Oh, I want to doctor kaplan say, don't start the morning with a failure. Two. I guess I could really get up. It is all in your head. And then one jump out of the jump out of bed like a rocket ship. Five four three two one get out. Once you get
out of bed, it's much easier. The very first thing I like to do when I jump out of bed is oil pulling. You get a bunch of coconut oil, swish it all around in your mouth, and you're trying to do this before you even swallow or you talk. I just gotta do it thirty seconds. Everything I give you was super easy. Thirty seconds oil pulling, swishing around, spit it out in the garbage. Then it would be nice to have good bowel movement, pe poop. That's when I do
my reading. I read at least two three pages every morning. I got to read a book, something that's positive, something that's educational, something that's inspiring. Get your morning going. So you wake up, do your oil pulling, pe poop, read, and you do your gratitude journal. Then you do your goals. So not only list your gratitude journal, your goals, your top ten goals. What do I want to accomplish? I want I want to accomplish in my job. Would I want to accomplish in my
relationships? When I want to accomplish in my spirituality? What do I want to accomplish in my physical exercise? Wouldn't want to accomplish in my being in nature? So you give you like your little top ten goals, and every day that might change. Don't look at the past one. Every day you do your new goals and you'll see how they become goals. I want to whatever it is, lose weight and I will improve my vision. I want to improve my sleep. I want to eat health. There you put your
top ten goals. Every morning, right now, you go downstairs, get your glass of warm lemon water with the pink Himalayan salt. Go outside, watch the sun rise. Exercise even if it's just five minutes. Do your breathing exercise, hopefully outside in the sun, in nature. Then you come back home. Nice shower. Then you do some and your shower with cold. That's very healthy. Good with circulation, go with blood flow, good with inflammation. Then do like a little meal prep. Get your breakfast ready,
lunch ready. Put everything in glass containers or stainless steel. You know you want your water drinking out of stainless steel or glass. You want your lunch or breakfast you want a stored in glass. Tinfoil, not aluminum foil, not plastic bags, not plastic containers, not tupperware. That stuff is toxic, including when you're storing it in your house. Once you get back from the supermarket, get all your fruit, veggies, whatever it is,
out of the plastic bags and put them in glass storage containers. They will last longer, they will be fresher, and there's no leaching of the plastics. The plastics are toxic, they're hormonal, estrogen even You gotta stay away from the plastics. The average American eats about a credit card's worth of plastic every year. You don't want to be eating plastic that's disgusting. Stored in glass, there's nothing leaching on in there. And don't reuse water bottles that's
more plastic than you can never imagine. Stay away from those plastic water bottles. It's bad for the environment. You're gonna end up spending more money. It's bad for your health. Start getting your own water filter at home and storing in glass containers. This is doctor Eric Kaplan. We will continue this
discussion when we come back from the break. Thanks for listening.

You gotta get your brain going. If you do this power hour every single morning. It's all little bit of each thing. A little bit of exercise, a little bit of water, a little bit of gratitude, a little bit of breathing, a little bit of sunlight, a little bit of oxygen. Just do these little things
every single morning and don't overwhelm yourself. Maybe you start at one thing a week. He said, Okay, this week, I'm gonna focus on physical exercise. I'm gonna make sure I get for seven straight days five minutes of exercise every single day and then the next week you say, Okay, I'm gonna do the water. Not only am I gonna do my five minutes of exercise and drink my water every morning. And the next week you do the oil pulling, the oil pulling, and I'm gonna do the water. I'm
gonna work out. The key to rewire your brain is to do something for twenty one straight days. If you exercise for twenty one straight days for five minutes, it becomes part of your brain. If you drink water every morning for twenty one straight days, you rewire your brain to start drinking water every morning. If you write in your gratitude journal for twenty one straight days,
it becomes automatic. You don't forget to do it. But in the beginning, you need reminders, you need post it notes, you need alarms, you need phone calls, you need to support group that reminds you. You really need a lot of reminders in the beginning. But once you do it for twenty one straight days, it becomes automatic. That is the key twenty one straight days to rewiring in your brain through your process called neuroplasticity. And
everybody needs different areas of the brain to be rewired. The stuff I'm talking about is very general. Right, Everyone needs to exercise, everyone should oil pull, everyone should do the gratitude journal, everyone should store it in glass. You know, those are general types of things, right. Everyone should avoid sugar and artificial sweeteners. That's great advice for everybody. But how are you gonna know what you specifically mean? Because what if you already have a
brain problem. What if you're already having issues with sleep? What if you're already having digested problems. What if you're already getting headaches, or you have anxiety or depression, or you notice your brain isn't functioning as good. Your memory is not as good as it used to be. Your focus isn't as good as it used to be. You get easily distracted, You're not motivated like you used to be. I hear these stories every day, patients to
say, I want my old brain back. Can't you just turn back the clock. No, we can't turn back the clock. But what we can do is reverse the aging process. And what I mean by that is as you get older, you can get stronger as you get older. Your vision can improve as you get older, your bones can be stronger as you get older, your memory can improve, as you get older, your balance can improve. As you get older, you can get less aches and pains.
I am so sick of people blaming age on their health problems. You have to stop saying that, you know. I was playing basketball with my friends on Monday and one of the guys like, ah, my right knee hurts. They said, what happened? He said, Oh, it's just old age. I mean, while the guy's like thirty nine years old, all right, the old at all. But he's blaming his right knee pain on his age. That's just what happens as you get older. So I said, what about your left knee? He goes, well, my left knee's
fine. So I said, well, how old is your left knee? And then he looks at me like a little strange. Then he smiled, and what he realized is that it can't be old age because his left knee is just as old as his right knee. Both knees are the same age. Yet one knee is in pain. Why would that be a lot of
different reasons. Maybe he's out of alignment. So a lot of people who are in pain, whether it's their neck, their back, their shoulders, their joints, it's because they're out of alignment, and they might need a manipulation of their bones. Now, maybe their knee is in pain because the muscle is tight. Maybe they need active release technique. Maybe their knee is in pain because there's lots of inflammation. Maybe we need to take somewhere as
veratrol or tumoric to reduce the inflammation. Maybe the knee is off because his gait is off. He's not walking properly, so he might need gate training. Maybe his knee is off because his eyes are tilted. And when his eyes are tilted, now his neck has to compensate for that. Now, because his neck is tilted, his shoulders have to compensate for the neck tilt.
And now maybe that the shoulders are tilted, his pelvis has to compensate because his shoulders are animaligm And now because his pelvis is out of position, his knee is gonna get tug and pulled the wrong way. So there could be a big connection along down the road. That's why if you have a knee pain and you go to the knee doctor, you could have a problem because the knee doctor is not looking at the hip. They're not looking at
the shoulders. They're not looking at the neck, they're not looking at the eyes, they're not looking at the brain. They're just looking at the knee. But maybe you have to look at the circulation. So a lot of my patients have knee problems because of poor circulation. All these problems require a different type of treatment. If it's a bull problem, that's manipulation. If it's a muscle problem, that might be physical therapy. It's a nerve problem,
that might be decompression. If it's a brain problem, that might be some neurologic exercises. If it's a blood flow problem, we might need to improve circulation. If it's a nutritional problem, we might have to change the diet. If it's an inflammatory problem, we might have to reduce inflammation. So there's a lot of different causes of pain, but we have to get
to the root cause. So the best way to do it is to do a full neurological and physical evaluation where we check your range of motion, and
we do these at our offices. I have two offices. I have one in Manhattan in the West Village office six Avenue and Bleaker, and I have another office in Emerson, New Jersey and Bergen ca close to paramus by all of the malls and stuff, and what we do with these full neurological and physical evaluations where we check the reflexes, We check the gate and check the balance, check the muscle strength, check the alignment, check the brain, check the heart, the gut, the lungs, check the eyes, the
ears, muscles, bones, nerves, circulation memory. It's a full evaluation, takes about forty five minutes. It's normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people that call text or email, you can get the entire neurological evaluation with me, one on one at either of my offices. Instead of paying five hundred dollars, you only have to pay twenty one dollars and you get a full val diagnosis, and treatment recommendations which will never be surgeries,
medicine injections ivs. I'm a very holistic doctor. Don't come to me if you want prescriptions for medications. I am not the doctor that writes medical prescriptions. Okay, that's not how we work in our office. I'm a functional neurologist. I practice functional medicine, so we get to the root cause of the problem and teach you how to heal yourself without drugs, without surgeries, without risky testing or techniques. But you got to do the work.
So I definitely advise you signing up for this twenty one dollar evaluation so we can get you going on a nice healthy road to covery health and prevention of any future diseases. All you have to be is one of the first seven people that call, text or email. The phone number is six four six two two one six seven three eight. The email is info at Kaplan,
Brain embody dot com. Just tell them that you listen to my show and you want to be one of the first seven people to get the full neurological and physical evaluation with me, doctor Kaplan, for only twenty one dollars. If nobody answers because it gets very busy, just leave a message, leave an email, just say hey, I want to be one of the first
seven, and someone will get back to you. Okay. I know sometimes people think they don't get it because nobody picked up the phone, But the thing is so many people to call that sometimes we have to get back to you later on. Okay, you are listening to boost your brain power. I'm your host, Doctor Eric Kaplan. More when we come back from the
brain. 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 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, add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, for posture pain, TBI, skin and digestive

We're talking about to get to true health, you have to start
your morning off right. You will be amazed how productive you are at work, how much better mood you are with your family and friends. How much more energy you have, how much better sleep you'll get, How your memory and focus improves your energy, your strength, your vitality, your endurance. Just by doing a consistent morning power hour. That is the key to neuroplasticity is consistency, rewiring your brain doing good things, healthy things, over and
over and over again. It will not work just doing one time. There is no magic pill that is going to improve your memory. You have to work for it. If there was a magic vitamin or medication or supplement that actually improved your memory and focus, people would just take it and they would never have a problem. But guess what, there is no magic pill. You know, you might have these things that are little band aids that might improve your focus for a few hours, you know, like what it is
an adderall and riddle in and that type of stuff. But that's like legalized cocaine basically, and when you're giving it to children whose brains are developing, they could be very dangerous. I am very conservative when I'm making a medical decision. I measure the risk versus the reward. So if you're giving your kid or your child some of these medications you gotta ask yourself first, what's
the risk versus the reward? When you're designing your own medical procedures, surgeries, medicines, ibs, injections, procedures, what's the risk versus the reward? If you want to know if something's risky, you ask the doctor their malpractice insurance, because if it's risky, that means they're causing harm, they're more likely to injure somebody, more likely to get sued. My malpractice insurance
is so low because nothing we do is risky. We're not doing any surgeries, we're not doing harmful medications, we're not doing any injections, we're not puncturing the skin. Ever, it's just teaching people how to improve their own health and well being. There's no risk when you're just doing things naturally and holistically. Now, the key is the reward. Right, If you can find something that's very low risk and very high reward, that's what you want
to do. This power hour that I'm talking about, there's no risk, there's absolutely zero risk, and the reward is through the roof. But unfortunately, some people just want to pop a pill. Right, Those are not the people that come to my office all right. But those are the people that are going to end up like a typical American, which is heart disease, which is cancer, diabetes, obesity, anxiety, depression, or immune system, low energy, Alzheimer's dementia. You don't want to end up like
everybody else. You have to be that one percent. People listening to my show right now, if you follow my suggestions, you're the top one percent, and you'll be the top one percent of everything, including money. You ask the top one percent of the wealthy people, what do they do in the morning. I guarantee you they're waking up early, They're exercising, they're
doing something, they're reading, they're writing their goals down. I guarantee you they're taking out a lot of this stuff we've talked about in the Power Hour. They are not sleeping in present snooze failing first thing in the morning. So you want to be successful in life, You want to have health in your life, you want to have good relationships, you want to have good mood. You gotta start with the Power Hour. And what about the rest
of the day. Let's say the rest of the day you're sitting at the computer. That's not good. So you've got this power hour. But then you don't want to ruin the power hour by sitting on day at the computer. So then you got to do the twenty rule. The twenty rule is every twenty minutes, you get up for twenty seconds, you walk twenty feet, you look twenty feet away, and then you could go back to working.
But that every twenty minutes, you get up for twenty seconds, and I don't care what you do for that twenty seconds, as long as something a little physical. It doesn't have to just be a walk. You could do twenty jumping jacks. You could do twenty squats, you could do twenty push ups, you could do twenty sit ups, you could do twenty sitting to standing. You could do twenty big shoulder rolls back. You could do
twenty lunges. You could do twenty bicep curl. Just do something moving your body, getting out of that chair for twenty seconds, something physical, even if it's go downstairs to the kitchen and get a glass of water and go back up the stairs. Just move that body, get off your butt, get out of that chair, get your body moving. Every twenty minutes, set an alarm. You will be more productive. You will have more energy. You will better memory, better focus, better brain function. Your boss
will be much happier if you take twenty second breaks every twenty minutes. Then if you take no breaks for five straight hours, your work won't be as good. The quality will go down. Without taking breaks, you need breaks. They did research on a college kids. They did for Sunday through Thursday. They split these college kids into two groups. One group study from six pm to ten pm, four straight hours with no breaks every night Sunday night
Thursday night. The second group did a half hour of studying rest, a half hour, half hour studying rest, a half hour, half hour studying rest half hours, so they only got two hours total of studying from that six to ten. The group that did four hours got much worse grade c's and d's and some apps and the grit. And the group that did the half hour breaks and only studied two hours total each night did much better. They got a's and b's. It's better for students, it's better for workers.
The more breaks the better. If you're a teacher, have your kids take lots of breaks, movement breaks. Do it a little cross crawl exercise where you just have the kids stand up and they march in place and tap
their opposite leg, and then you even give them a mental exercise. Okay, kids, tell me, you know, depending on how old your kids are, you know, if they're little kindergarteners, you do, oh, tell me names of colors every time you tap, or animals, you know, and then as they get older, you can make it a little bit more complicated. But get off the butt. You know. Children don't want to be sitting on their butt all day. That's why they're giving riddling,
you know. That's why they're given these medications for add and ADHD. It's because they're not allowed to move a lot of times. And then they're considered hyperactive because they're they're trying to get out of their chair. It's like, well, we got to get these kids out of their chairs. Don't make them sit down all day. Don't make your office workers sit down all day. Your bodies and your brains are like muscles. You'll use it or you'll
lose it. Move your body, get that physical activity. You do not want to get Alzheimer's. How do you know if you're more likely to get Alzheimer's. You got to do a brain test so you can analyze your brain waves. There's a brain test called a q EG brain mapping and that analyzes all the different areas of your brain. Said, do you have short term
memory problems, long term working memory problems, sequential memory problems. Do you have troubles with focus, motivation, organization, planning, punctuality, difficulty shifting tests? The q EEG brain mapping picks this up. Do you have anxiety depression? Do you have insomnia sleep deprivation. Do you have low dopamine levels low a seto cooline? Do you have heavy metal poisoning? Did you have a concussion, did you have pathogens? Did you have intestinal problems, thyroid
problems. This is all picked up by the brain mapping, but you need to do the test. The good news is this test is non invasive. It's no radiation. You don't have to do an MRI, you don't have to do a cat scam, you don't have to take any contrast fluid. There's no risk. Takes about twenty to thirty minutes. It's more set up than the actual test itself, but it's a natural, holistic way to tell us how every area of the brain is working. It's called a q EEG
brain mapping. It's normally five hundred dollars, but for the first seven people that call, text or email you could get this q EEG Brain Mapping for only twenty one dollars.
