Dr. Mike should start a TV show to bust all of these medical misinformation on weekly basis...! Edit: This is a compliment, calm down people. I don't want him to go for TV either, he's doing well on YT where he can make his own creative decisions..!
I'd love to see Docs take on functional medical practitioners. They love talking about how the medical education system doesn't teach doctors about the body's functions. 😂
It's not his place to speak,he should invite someone from the lobbyism/pharma side. Pushing products is most abundant in different specialties, especially orthopedic surgery.
I have arthritis rheumatoid for almost 18 years. Meds only gave me drugs and drugs and I was never getting better. I had insomnia, depression and a lot of side effects caused by medication. After watching Gary Brecka on diary of CEO, I tested for B12 and vitamin D. Bingo! I was deficient in these vitamins. No doctor ever cared about that. After supplemented I was incredibly better: better sleep, mood, energy…I also follow his breathing exercises, cold shower, morning sun, regular exercises, health diet (no processed food, conscious about vitamins and nutrients ). . I finally feel better and I don’t need expensive medication anymore, just the cheap ones in lower doses. In all my 18 years of chronic disease, no doctor has ever told me I could change that much with only changes of habits.
Only Doctor Mike, Master of Medically-accurate Medical Facts can stop them; but when the world needed him most, Bear the Giant Pup asked to go for a walk.
Atual health system in US is a circus. A triangle between insurance, farmacies and hospital. Medicine just provide pills and treatments for the condition but not looking to fix the problem in the root.
This seems a big issue these days. It seems more about sounding confident no matter what rubbish is coming out. Who needs to answer a question if you can confidently talk about something else and pretend that's an answer. It's really annoying. But it works doesn't it? That's the most disturbing thing
Haha. The same people saying "yes preach" are the same people that would loose your mind if a mechanic said sorry we are not sure yet so we are going to try this...
A couple friends of mine fell into this rabbit hole during Covid. Oddly enough, some previously very anti-vax family members stopped talking about being anti-vax during covid (and all got vaxxed as soon as it was available) You win some you lose some, I guess?
It’s because they pray on the vulnerable. Everyone has their insecurities and issues. No matter how smart or educated, they are still human. These gurus use scientific words and partly true statements, and twist them and exaggerate them to manipulate people. And people have hope that it works. Deep down they may know is BS, but they are just hoping the quick fix/miracle cure works. They may also be desperate. People who suffer from chronic pain, hearing there’s a cure for their headaches it’s music to their ears. They would try anything at that point, because everything else they tried didn’t work, so they are desperately hoping it works. These gurus are despicable for manipulating the most vulnerable to make money.
You know. There is a pattern I have been noticing. One of the patterns I notice about health guru is that it seems that they love to specify a reason for a certain incident, such as "headache? It is because of X" (let's say low sodium). These are not something that can be easily and consciously noticed.
@Dr. Mike I appreciate your feedback towards Gary Brecka and his contribution towards healthcare. I have taken his advice with sunlight, breathwork, grounding, vitamin D3, berberine, red yeast rice, curcumin, ice baths, sauna, low carb diet, hydrogen water, baja gold mineral water, etc. Im not not any beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, and lost 42 pounds. My trigylcerides have went from , 178 to 76, A1C 6.5 to 4.9 and total cholesterol from 278 to 186. Instead of bashing someone and claiming they are IKA's maybe correct the inaccurate comments along with praise. His teachings have dramatically changed my life. I believe you are concerned he is attacking modern medicine and big pharma and you dont appreciate the pushback. Proof is in the pudding and my pudding is a great, healthy life thanks to Gary.
@@oppsendless3814 do you actually want an explanation? Healthy skepticism is good but it's important to not shut things down just cuz they don't immediately make sense to us. There isn't enough research yet but early results are promising, I've seen possible benefits to ppl personally just can't do all the tests to make sure myself. I was extremely skeptical till I saw that. I appreciate Dr. Mike but some of his takes here were somewhat misleading and biased.
He even has the opposite of the Covid misinformation warning on this video. It would almost be funny if he wasn't leading people away from healthy lives with this obvious marketing video. Disgraceful. Last video I've ever watched of this salesman doctor.
Hey thanks Dr Mike for starting to address this issue. It drives me crazy to see so much confusing and misleading info out on social media right now. It’s even gotten into eyecare, sadly.
ngl, i had a good laugh at that woman who was claiming that i could cure my near sightedness and astigmatism with meditation and essential oils. but i feel bad for the people who fall for it and let her steal their money

I’m a doctor myself and I really appreciate you sharing this. You need to use your voice to really push this point home. All these health gurus are just researchers and marketers. I was telling my wife they have no repercussions if their advice goes bad for a patient they’re just pushing products and making money.
Dr's push unhealthy things all the time. They also throw medicine at symptoms instead of finding the root cause of illness. What repercussions do you Dr's have?
I've saved so much money and time since watching your videos because I can recognize all the scams now and as soon as I see them I swiftly move on. Thanks for fighting the good fight!
For me... take an Aleve, drink a bunch of water, and go nap for half an hour. I feel like taking a couple of magnesium supplements helps too but I have no idea if it's addressing a problem or it's just placebo effect. I suppose it doesn't hurt, most people are kind of magnesium deficient anyway.
I live with chronic migraine and I about saw red when that part played. My dude, if salt could cure my unrelenting daily pain of the last 26 years I'd have bought out the pink Himalayan salt industry years ago. Infuriating.
Thank for your service Mike! Please continue to do this work, it's more and more needed. Misiformation seems to be reaching epidemic levels, it is SO SCARY!
Thank you Dr Mike for exposing these IKAs, coming from an internist. You articulated everything so well. I literally feel like choking everytime i listen to that guy talk.
Selling a Solution requires a Problem. Creating a Problem that has a Tiny Truth in it provides fertile Ground. These Gurus create a Logic Loop that when you are caught in it provide a Safe Place for their Fears because it Is all about shifting Fears. Hope you have a big vomit Bucket Handy. Be healthy.
Unfortunately the medical field is run by insurance companies and pharma companies because it is BIG business. And if your doctor doesn't subscribe to the 'Standard of Care' that was created by insurance and pharma, they can be sued and held liable. It's a tough position for a doctor to be in. And often the standard of care is ‘keep doing what you’re doing but also take this drug’. It leaves patients feeling that they’re not being heard and that they do not have options. And to make matters worse, MDs have very little nutrition and lifestyle training, which is the root of where most disease comes from. Our healthcare system is almost 100% reactive and not focused on preventative treatment The ‘gray area’ as you refer to it is growing exponentially bc of this.. people want health experts, not drug dealers. And so too often we look to ‘IKA’s for alternative / natural solutions
Geez Mike, I’ve been watching you for many years and was enjoying this video when I dipped into the comments and wow. Keep doing your best work, its shocking how many people are saying up is down. Yes the health system does need to do a better job, but attacking individuals as “fake” etc is counterproductive. As Naomi Klein put it, they get the facts wrong but the feelings right. We have an uphill battle to climb ahead of us.
I mean if people push bunk information they should be called out for it. If someone is selling snake oil as a cure all I would hope you would understand that is a bad thing that needs to be addressed.
I came across him a couple of weeks ago and it sounded convincing but thanks to Dr. Mike I heard that "sales pitch" loud and clear. He actually claimed he would make us into a super human with his genetic testing. Thank you Dr. Mike
As soon as I herd the migrain thing I would have walked away. My family has a history of migraines. My great grandfather was on some serious pain killers before he died because he had a constant migraine. I even went for testing and they scanned my head multiple times because they wanted to make sure it wasn't a clot or something (which it wasnt) so then they hooked me up to a brain wave imagining machine while I was having one. After 10 minutes of a 45 minute procedure the doctor comes in and gave me something for the head ache. And after I slept for about 30 minutes because it was that bad he showed me why he canceled it early. It looked like a rave was going on in my brain and he said it was rare but really untreatable. That really the only thing we could do is treat the symptoms as they happen. Also I know somepeople when they hear migraine they are going to think "oh its just a headache" no its way worse than that. I get super sensitive to hot and cold, movement of my own body is difficult. All of my senses start going haywire like I can see sound and taste air. I also get a fever not a duper high fever but a fever. And I can even get uncontrollable shakes from it like I'm am hypothermic. So I would have laughed in this dudes face and said "you think salts going to fix that? Get real." And moved on
Wow, dude that's horrible. I'm nowhere near the medical field, but based on your description, it sounds like you have something called "cluster headache". A friend's father does have this cluster headache and the only thing he found that helped the symptons, since it has no cure, was pure oxygen inhalation a couple minutes per week. You could talk to your doctor and see what he thinks about it. Godspeed for you.
Damn so sorry for you :/ my dad gets migranes and its definetly not the same as a regular or even just a bad headache. Its a different thing sure its pain in the head but it doesnt do the same as a regular headache. I dont understand people who Think that it is ‘just’ a headache :/
@@cuturbs thank you very much. And cluster headaches and migraines are technically the same thing. Migraines though we're originally written as a "woman's only" condition based around the menstrual cycle. On paper my headaches are classified as clusters but calling them migraines means more people will understand what sort of level I'm dealing with. But yes even for not being a doctor you hit the nail on the head. And there has been some shift recently with treatment and categorization of cluster headaches stearing it away from being gender dividing disorders and realizing women can get them as well. And I was also told about the pure oxygen treatments. But of course my insurance wouldn't pay for any of it... but they will pay for pain killers that I use maybe once or twice a month.. so there is that I guess.
If you’ve ever listened to any of Gary Brecka’s podcasts, his big thing is genetic mutations and supplementation with folate and b12 to help methylation. Avoiding folic acid and processed food, eating organic food, cold plunges/sauna and sunlight. Literally told Joe on the biggest podcast in the world that “you don’t need to buy any of my products to follow my protocol”. I think what he’s doing is great work unlike plenty of doctors who want to put you on every medicine in the book
Don’t trust doctors anymore, not their fault. They’re apart of a broken system far beyond their ability to change it. They know to treat symptoms instead of addressing the underlying issue
It really is heartbreaking because its not just about taking people's money, which in itself is bad, especially if they are struggling financially but it also affects them mentally or physically. Because it's not as simple as, it's their choice to take it so I'm not liable when you are feeding on people's fear or desperation especially with issues that are chronic. I love that you're shedding light back on those that are accountable. Thank you for the great video 🎉
Dana White has more wealth than most and there is no doubt he went the standard route in healthcare and ended up lost and with a glut of symptom management drugs.
don't talk about taking people's ask yourself why pharma is the biggest money-generating profit-centric industry after the weapons industry ?? that should answer most of your questions and help you connect the dots.
You should listen to your own advice. The person your praising is part of the problem. The last few years has shown that. They have taken many lives and destroyed them. So make sure you look at this guy on the channel. Common sense. Don't be fooled by this big pharma doctor who definitely gets kick backs from the pharmaceutical industry
One of Gary's biggest talking points is the a percentage of people not being able to methylate certain things. Then recommending after testing taking certain amino acids that can help the body process things it has trouble processing. Why are Dr's avoiding supplements like Nitric Oxide (L Arginine) that is a known Vasodilator or Trimethylglycine and going right into prescribing angiotensin receptor blockers?
Gary is taking a very shallow look at methylation. Any good functional medicine doctor would have moved past this 10 years ago. It's mostly marketing with a grain of truth. But since most people still don't know what functional medicine is, how are they to know?
NO is known to have a very short half-life, and has very severe side effects including hemorrhage.. having such short half-life with several side effects means the patient may be prone to be overdosed and ARBs and ACE inhibitors are much safer medications, and most of them are long-acting
I’m so thankful for Dr. Mike’s videos. If anything, his videos have prompted me to establish a general practitioner. Also his videos have given me confidence to call the doctor when I’m having symptoms and ask questions. I’m a person that NEVER wanted to bother the doctor, to the point that I became dangerously ill in the past. But now I am now realizing it is OKAY and preferred to call and ask, and to be my own health advocate. Thank you Dr. Mike!
I don't see how that would work. They make broad statements and legally shield themselves with disclaimers. And there's always more gurus to take their place. The only way to battle this is informing people how these scams work and why they work. Sadly there will always be desperate people in desperate situations who will cling to these scams as their only last hope. Same way financial scams work
if we try to make the world idiot proof the world will just create a better idiot. and this guy isnt a fake doctor.....he is no doctor, period. if people fall for a dude who describes himself as human biologist and bio hacker, and for a company in which Grand scam Cardone is involved.....they are beyond saving and not deserving of empathy.
Saying we don't know is so underrated nowadays. As a physical therapist I have limited medical knowledge and I often say I don't know and you should check with your physician.. love this video..
One of the reasons I‘m really happy with my new GP is that she tells me point blank if she isn‘t an expert in something and sends me to a specialist that is. After 10+ years of doctors just doing nothing or telling me I‘m imagining things she told me after two months of trying some things, that everything she can do in good faith she did and anything further she would like to send me to an gastroenterologist. And thank good she did. They found two things that are treatable and I‘m already much better.
People are becoming less and less comfortable with being wrong or not having all the knowledge. It's hard for me to admit I'm wrong sometimes, not because I need to be right but because I then feel stupid and like an idiot. That stems from childhood trauma, but I'm working on it. But we need to be comfortable with not knowing or not having the answers to everything.
Yet I have a PT who insist my doctor is wrong and won’t give me exercises to help engage my glutes and gluteus medius because she’s right …it’s not my lumbar disc disease since 23 years old, but the mild hip arthritis. Ugh!
My wife is doing a medical research project right now and the medical intervention she has been studying, it turns out, has very little effect. She was bummed but I reminded her that it is crucial and way too widely ignored to put out studies that say "It turns out this doesn't do anything."@@GmmBeast
Hey Doctor Mike, I would appreciate a video similar to this on Naturopathic Medicine!!! My girlfriend survived a terrible car accident and has a TBI and numerous problems from that. She uses devices like a Cefaly and Beamer. She also uses medications like Ubrelvy, Trazadone for sleep, and Qlipta. I'm skeptical of the naturopathic medicine but she had tried everything traditional medicine could offer and now is doing the powders she's recommended by her Naturopath. I would love to have more professional insight as in all my research I get mixed reviews.
That Sounds utterly horrible. Not able to sleep Is brutal and from own experience when i failed to Split a Mountain with my Head and got a thank you Note in form of Hole in my Head for my Shennanigans, i can state proper Medicine and proper Doctors are the way to go. The Most Importamt Part for me was Not to do my own Research and listen to my Doctors and have Patience and the will to Stick to a Plan. Thank you for making me look at Naturopahic Medicine, your girlfriend must be in a very Bad Place to Take Advice from that Viper Nest. Medicine Is one Thing having a Sleep Routine Is something else. From one random Person to another there Is never a perfect Solution Just one you can or this Case your Girlfriend can exist with, the living Part comes later. Have Strenght
After watching Gary’s content I went keto, started taking TMG and a methylated multi vitamin and eating fermented foods daily (kimchi and pickles ). After a couple months my BP is lower, I am completely off of Zoloft, my blood work is the best it’s been in 20 years and I feel great. I hope to come off of BP meds this year under doctor’s supervision. I’m 51 and I have never had a doctor discuss with me how to possibly come off medication. Dr Mike, you seem to have a love for helping others. I appreciate your concern. But I’m torn. If such simple tweaks could help so much, why have doctors informed me?
I found Gary a few months ago, and I don’t blindly believe everything he says but figured some things were worth a try. while seeing a neurologist for debilitating migraines (every 7-9) days, I tried the salt trick he mentioned. while it doesn’t cure my migraines, it has, to this point, extended the time between them (10-13 days). So dropping a pinch or two of fancy salt in the water I’m already drinking in the mornings isn’t a huge deal to me, it also helps me not feel bloated. My Dr is on board with it since more pain free days is the goal. Also I’ve been deficient and taking B12 for years with no change in my lab work so I tried the type he suggested as well, and I now have enough energy at the end of the day to cook dinner when I get home from work.
@@kirstenvaughn4717 He is telling you basic things that are true for some people to make you have trusts in him so you can buy his products he says things like breathe more and be calmer more and that will help you with headaches like duh if you are calmer you will have less stress which would lead to less headaches
One of the worst plagues in the modern world are doctors who are influenced by their politics instead of treating their patients. The past few years are very revealing of this hive mind mentality, and shows that even the most trained are influenced by their own emotions or the "I can't be wrong" ideology.
Brilliant meme from a while ago - Star Trek original series - on the bridge Kirk - “bones, when will Covid be over?” McCoy - “dammit Jim I’m a doctor not a politician”
I only watched the first minute and when I saw him using Donald Trump in the opening comment, it told me everything that comes from "Dr. Mike's" mouth is going to be liberal propaganda. I find it funny how certain ones have such a distaste for our former President, but yet didn't and still don't have a problem with push the vaccine that "Operation Warpspeed" helped to create. MD's, pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies are not the saviors to our health conditions, they are the worst to suffer with IKA ideology.
Not all kinds of treatment are applicable or even working for everyone. Thank you Dr. Mike for calling out these IKA 'gurus' preying on ppl who are mistreated by the poor healthcare system
Honest question... how is encouraging people to use nature around them to do things like get good sleep, eat protein, exercise, and utilize the human biology to help treat root causes instead of paying money to big pharma... how is that preying?
Thank you for everything you do Dr Mike, I’m so sick of pseudoscience and conspiracy theories dictating the discussion of basically everything at this point
What you have failed to talk about around Gary is that he mentions many times that he has a team of Doctors in his organization. As well as the many Doctors that are confirming what he is saying. Can you do a video discrediting those Doctors that back up what Gary is saying?
As someone who wakes up with headaches and neck pain, I can tell you it's not from a deficiency is Himalayan salt (LOL) it's because i clench my teeth at night due to stress. My dentist recommended a $35 night guard. Problem solved.
I have a night guard and went low carb from a standard diet and started to have headaches I did some research and increased my sodium and in a few days my headaches went away. It helped and worked. I still use my mouth guard to save my teeth 😁
I’ve had my share of health issues so I’ve gone down the rabbit hole listening to guys like Brecka, and they’ve taught me countless things that, like Dana, have changed my life. I appreciate what they tell me but I actually also really appreciate what Dr. Mike says. It’s all good information. Just gotta sift through it all to figure out what’s best for you.
How do you know which is which FFS….Brecka spews sciency sounding nonsense and describes micro biological mechanisms…. Ignores outcome date fine be real science
One of the main reasons why this Gary guys gets people with his BS is because he starts every statement with a fact proven by science and then follows it with his BS. This makes people a lot more likely to believe what he says as truth. It's despicable.
whenever i see or hear one of these "health gurus" the first question that comes to mind is "are they a licensed medical doctor?" next to that is "whats their history? their accolades?" you can never be too safe in the internet

I'm so glad you talked about depression and "chemical imbalance" theory being outdated because I still see this so much, even from mental health advocates/people WITH depression and it bugs me so badly for some reason lol
Thank you! One size does NOT fit all. In clothes or health-care. I have lost so much faith in the medical community the way I get treated. Health-care does need to be personalized and individualized. It needs to stop being about profit and propaganda. It needs to go back to being about helping people live their best lives.
One thing I love about my general care doctor is how he will be very upfront with things he doesn't know. I remember one time I told him my symptoms and he responded with "I think I know what it might be, but let me do a bit of research and consult with my fellow doctors to see if they are thinking the same thing I am." Turned out that his initial instinct was right, and he prescribed me a treatment that worked. My doctor is a human and I hope to be his patient for years to come.
As someone who gets chronic migraines, headaches, brain fog, etc, the salt one made me laugh so hard. So glad I work at home cuz I would've gotten some side eyes. I'm on a low-sodium diet (per doctor's recommendation for other reasons)
@@peterhorak3602 Unless it is worthless. Which most of what this Gary guy pushes is. Just pure pseudoscience with placebo with a sprinkling to actual to sell the rest of his nonsense. The only thing that worked for dana was the trt and diet and exercise. Low T is known to correlate to chronic headaches.
Gary Brecka knows way more about the human body than a DO Doctor practicing family medicine does. This guy in the video even says at one point, What's that? He doesn't understand the depth of what a Human Biologist Scientist knows. Brecka did for me what he did for Dana White. Doctors tried putting me on medication for high blood pressure. I lowered mine to a consistent 110/65. It happened in less than a month. I have crazy energy. I'm happy, I'm healthy, I'm losing fat, and keeping muscle and I'm in my 50's. This Doctor showed me that Dana White is right about not going to a Doctor unless you have a broken arm. Get Gene tested even if it's not by Brecka and feed your deficiencies the nutrients they need, and stop eating what you shouldn't. Boom, you're life will change!
This was a good clip - good level of language, engagement and truly instructive. Proper engagement on specious claims that is truly useful, especially for the layperson. Thank you.

Himalayan "sea" salt? Really, dude? The Himalaya range is freaking landlocked! Anyone with access to a world map or a freaking globe could tell you that! People really will fall for anything, won't they? Much love to you, Mike, for calling out all this ridiculous bullshit!
Well parts of it were underwater several million years ago before the Indian tectonic plate collided with the Eurasian plate. But Himalayan sea salt is nothing special other than being a nice color. I prefer to buy iodized salt. That way I get enough iodine. Morton's salt is cheaper too.
@ks8084 quite true. But "true" sea salt is gathered by evaporating seawater, whereas other salt is mined. The only thing special about the pink salt is that it has trace amounts of iron giving it a pink color.
You do realise it’s dried up right? Meaning there was a sea in the past. The reason why these inland salt mines are better is because they’re less polluted than typical sea salt.
@@anasazidarkmoonalso what makes them so good is that compared to traditional sea salt, micro plastic contamination + contamination of whatever else is in the sea water is limited. As the lake dried up millions of years ago, but when it was a lake the sea wasn’t polluted with half the toxins we have today. Celtic salt is better tho (:
As a person who suffered from dull headaches like one of them mentioned, I can tell you its from lack of hydration and too much salt & alcohol not lack of it lol
Can we take a moment to appreciate that when Gary talked about depression the bottom said "why anti-depresamts are scams"? Honestly the no spell-check should tell you everything you need to know
Thanks for sharing this Dr. Mike. I come across so much content and now that I’m off social media (except watching UA-cam on TV), I’m safe from all these extravagant claims! 😅
Makes me appreciate my uncle taking me to flea markets. Watching him fleece people and showing me how others fleece people. Crappy person but because of him I'm always skeptical. It's also why I push Drs to explain and then ask questions that I might get from Google on the issue.
Only 3 minutes in but wanted to share a very recent experience. A month ago my son was sick so took him to an urgent care to get checked out. We were away from home, otherwise would have gone to his regular pediatrician. Anyhow, the urgent care doc prescribed mometasone. Pharmacy worker where we went said it was going to cost something like $65 after insurance, but that we could just get Nasonex on the aisle shelf right behind us for $19. The worker verified with the pharmacist that what was prescribed was exactly the same as Nasonex, including the amount per spray. Out of curiosity, I asked how much it would have been without insurance: $135. Unbelievable that a doctor would try to stick us with a $135 prescription for Nasonex that only costs $19. So, just on the topic of trust... "snake oil salesmen" and all that. Doctors are not perfect or fully trustworthy, either.
Doctors are not experts in everyone's individual insurance. So the doctor that gave you that prescription didn't know how much or how little your insurance was going to pay. Could they have advised you of the other option? absolutely but don't blame them for not knowing what your insurance does or does not cover.
@@Weebit13Cop-out. My RN relative tells me all the generics and cheaper equivalents. If they can do that, then an MD, who is supposed to he more qualified and doing everything in the patient's best interest, can go the extra mile on med prices and alternatives.
The fact that the medicine has already a generic version/brand means is an old medicine which patent has already expired. The doctor may just be not familiar with the generic version so they just prescribed the brand that they're familiar with for years.
@@Weebit13 I do not expect them to be experts in all insurance which is why I pointed out the price being $135 BEFORE insurance was applied, not after. No excuse for a professional to prescribe $135 base price mometasone which is the exact same thing as $19 Nasonex. Even the pharmacy technician (or maybe she was a cashier) knew that they were exactly the same and confirmed it with the pharmacist in front of me. But a doctor does not know this? There are some things not right with our medical system in the US, this is definitely one of them.
@@melintir Mometasome is the chemical name. Same exact stuff. The doctor tried to sell it for $135 when it's OTC for $19. That would be like selling acetaminophen for $135 when they could have just said to pickup a bottle of Tylenol for $20.
I was suffering with debilitating migraines as a teen, and all the specialists we saw (pain specialist, neurologist, just to name a few) couldnt't really help me so we also turned to alternative medicine. Ended up at a homeopath, she was a little old lady in an office in her own home. She prescribed me these tiny little pills, that I'm absolutely convinced were just sugar, that I had to take once a month. I wasn't allowed to touch them with my hands because that would stop the from working. They were expensive af and they didn't do anything (of course lol). Oh and she also told me that I was being bullied because my personality sucked and I should go to therapy to learn to be different.
@@dddila I found out they were being triggered by my hormonal birth control because I accidentally ran out. Never took them again and they cleared up somewhat but I still have them a few times per month. Not nearly as bad as it used to be though.
@@wallie4734 Going off birth control hormones is a holisitc approach. Mainstream medicine will tell you birth control doesn't cause migraines. Functional/Holistic medicine knows birth control is problematic.
@@76rtc That's not true. Migraines were listed as a side effect. I did read that when I first started but I was too young to link them. Furthermore they I did actually need them, as my periods were so bad they were literally making me anemic. Birth control isn't evil, it just didn't work for me.
Hilarious! Dana White was on meds for high cholesterol, blood thinners, he had high blood pressure, super high triglycerides, was on a c-pap machine for sleep apnea, tinnitus, overweight, chronic inflammation in his legs, low energy, poor memory and concentration. He was a walking heart attack! Gary Brecka told him to change his diet to keto, exercise, cold plunge, do a genetic methylation test and take the right supplements. In ten weeks Dana White was off ALL meds, no longer had sleep apnea, tinnitus was gone, inflammation was gone, he was shredded after and has been on multiple shows talking about how Gary saved his life. Dana White said he will never go to a doctor again for general health. I have a similar experience as well. MD,s are in it for the money, not your health!
Dr.Mike brushes that fact off by saying he just started eating better and get more sleep etc. instead of admitting that Gary imposed all these changes, performed tests, gave appropriate supplementation etc. while Dana’s regular doctors only prescribed more and more drugs over the years.
Yes and dana is a multimillionaire I would think he had the best doctors at the time. Gary was just on the joe rogan experience I would highly suggest listening to it.
@@elwoodberg960Dana said out of all the doctors he went to, none of them could help. Gary was the only was that was able to help him improve in all of the areas of his health issues. Not about the money at all
It's crazy how this Dr Mike guy can completely discard a real life testimony of one of the least BS guys I've ever seen...Dana White. I believe he did it with Steve Harvey too
Yeah forget the trt Dana white is pumping through his veins. Anyone who gets their test elevated beyond that of what an 18 yr old has is going to look better regardless of their crappy diet
Neither health gurus nor doctors know what the perfect diet is. The true diet is what your body feels good on. For instance fruits and vegetables makes me incredibly bloated. But being on a full meat diet makes me feel so much better everyday
I'm so glad you've made this video. I know too many people who get duped by these charlatans. Rather than engage in a conversation with them, I'll just have them watch this video.
More people have been duped and hurt by doctors that just throw medications at them than they have been hurt by UA-camrs. Not every Doctor is Doctor Mike.
I would love to see a conversation with Dr Mike and Aubrey and Mike (from the Podcast Maintenance Phase). They have done so many episodes going through the claims of “health gurus” and “wellness personalities/celebrities” I feel like it could be an incredible collaboration.
It is incredible that Dr. Mike is admitting they don’t know how to treat depression and they don’t know why medication is working but they give it to the patient. Mind blowing! The other mind blowing thing is that any physician in the U.S can give you an antidepressant without any psychiatric test. There you go… big pharma! 👏
My grandma truly does have low sodium and has her doctors telling her to consume a certain amount of sodium a day. She rarely ever has a head ache, muscle ache, or whatever else this quack is claiming 🤦🏻♀️
Dr Mike absolutely crushed this medical misinformation,some people don’t realize how their “miracle cures” will affect other people it’s just so sad how most of them aren’t Even medical professionals giving out”Medical advice “, I really enjoyed the episode learned so much :) Thank you :)))))
I started the superhuman 10x (Gary Brecka’s program). The program is life changing in a positive way. I feel better than ever. I believe Gary and the superhuman 10x program because I’m currently on it! Doctor Mike sounds like a man who just wants to debate, get subscribers, get likes and cares more about his UA-cam channel instead of making people healthier
agree. clicks. & jealousy...Gary get people to get into health & taking charge. Regular GPs. only pushing pills & charging $. . sorry not sorry...the truth. licenced drug peddlars IMHO
The honesty of doctors is key to a trusting relationship with them. My gastroenterologist is refusing to acknowledge that she’s reached the point of my problems being outside her expertise. I wish she would understand that and refer me for a second opinion so my gastroparesis can be better managed
This reminds me of all the short videos I'm seeing on social media relating every little symptom to ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression. Gurus and influencers are grabbing something that is common to everyone, such as the mid-afternoon dip explained in your video, and then relating it to their product they are trying to sell.
Yep a few years back it was everyone diagnosing themselves with OCD just because they like to have organised bookcases. Not that they have debilitating repetitive actions and thoughts. I guess ADHD is the next ‘trend’
@@Vonononiethese people really grind my gears. I have adhd, severe enough that I could probably get disability benefits. I'm completely non-functional without my ritalin. it's not cool or quirky to have adhd, it's a condition that makes life extremely difficult. before I finally got the help I needed, I WANTED to have adhd, but not because I thought it was cool - having adhd meant the symptoms ruining my life were treatable.
“I know a couple of people who have a deep understanding of human biology and nutrition, sometimes even more than some doctors. In my opinion, many doctors are shaped by an educational system heavily influenced by big pharmaceutical companies. It often feels like their primary approach is to prescribe medications rather than addressing the root causes of health issues. I believe the curriculum for medical professionals is largely designed to align with the interests of big pharma.”
I would love a Doctor Mike video explaining what is known about depression and what the difference is between medications. I've been on SSRI and SNRI meds and I don't really get the difference despite looking it up
I’m autistic and SSRIs don’t work for me. They just make me feel tired and numb. It’s basically a way to make neurotypicals more comfortable to be around me. It does nothing to help me. I told my doctor this and they prescribed an SSRI and lied and told me it wasn’t. I of course, felt tired and stopped it when I found out what it was. Now on a stimulant for ADHD. Too low to really notice a difference, but I do feel less tired.
I'm glad to see Dr. Mike continuing to criticize these con artists. We need someone to persistently go after them like Houdini's mission to debunk psychics.
As a registered nurse, Infection Preventionist, I am so grateful for fellow Healthcare providers setting out to debunk misinformation. Thank you for fighting a good fight!
I think Dr.Mike hit the nail on the head on why these gurus are so popular: he tells his patients when he doesnt know, he tells them when he's not sure. These gurus fill people's minds with the answers they want to hear and they do it with confidence and THAT'S why people listen to them.
Listened to Gary, did a genetic test (not Gary’s, but some for 230€) and figured I have the MTHFR gene mutation. Shot the shot started taking methylated B-Complex and feel much better. Gary may not have all the answers, but he got some.
Which testing did you go through, and was there any differenece between that and Gary's? I've been researching and comparing the different companies before I make a decision
I hear what you’re saying at the same time I was bankrupt it into poverty by misdiagnosis and after I was so sick that I was unable to work to pay the $1500 plus a month insurance premiums I have been treated like garbage by some of the top medical institutions in the country. I have great respect for science and doctors but I also see that the system that the doctors operate in our greedy corporate driven and brutal to the patients. Doctors refused to speak out on our behalf because they’re afraid they’ll lose their job or their residency so the whole system is starting to collapse so you’re right but you’re also wrong.
We need more of your like around. There are so many quacks in the industry now that its utterly painful. You and your ilk are more important than ever.
@@Technics19 no, I prefer critical thinkers who value the evidence instead of absolute quacks who make it up as they go along like Gary Brecka (with criminal records, no less)
@@Technics19 also, did you not watch the whole video? He mentioned the problems with the current healthcare systems. But also the problem of charlatans that take advantage of this with shady marketing. It's a very balanced take, unless you are married to your conspiracies and happy to be scammed by quacks like Brecka.
I ended up in UA-cam after being suffering from heart palpitations, because DRs can't help me. Watching Gary gave me a hope that now you broke it.. I really don't know what to do..
how are you hanging in there? if you google UpToDate and palpitations you can pay ~$20 and get a summary of the medical literature. Most of it is broadly good advice, healthy diet, sleep hygiene, exercise, stress management, avoiding stimulants. If you want to try something more biohacky, there are biofeedback devices that help you improve your heart rate variability, an indicator of your body's ability to manage stress. Or you could try breathing exercises, meditation, yoga or tai chi or qi gong which all help reduce stress and improve relaxation. I hope that helps!
I just wanna say thank you for making videos like this debunking the myths that really get people all frantic. Never change the level of integrity and transparency in your videos Dr Mike! God bless.
Because modern doctors’ advice related to overall health has a really great track record😂. I think regular doctors probably have a little work to do when it comes to building back trust in their advice. Going to suggest some humility and some soul searching on their part. Most doctors know very little about human nutritional needs and in general just do what they are told by their teachers and “best practices” which can often turn out to be just perpetuated wrong information. There is a lot of group think in the medical establishment. Sorry, I think its good to listen to new voices and get other perspectives on health and consider a variety of options that weigh risks and benefits. I do think it is wise to consider what biases people are bringing and the financial gains they stand to make and look at any recommendations / claims given by these folks with a skeptical eye but one can usually ferret out the good information from exaggerated claims with a little effort.
Dr. Mike should start a TV show to bust all of these medical misinformation on weekly basis...!
Edit: This is a compliment, calm down people. I don't want him to go for TV either, he's doing well on YT where he can make his own creative decisions..!
Agree!!
I agree with that
I'd love to see Docs take on functional medical practitioners. They love talking about how the medical education system doesn't teach doctors about the body's functions. 😂
Agreed
I 100% agree on this. I efently would tune in each week.

Why would he open himself up to not being invited anymore for high paying speeches
@@slax4884 Is he ever invited to speak at them?
Sometimes they just want you to think basic health care isn’t good and dangerous rather depend on the pill
I notice he didn’t pin your comment… he’s hardly gonna criticise the drugs he just subliminally pushed in this very video
It's not his place to speak,he should invite someone from the lobbyism/pharma side. Pushing products is most abundant in different specialties, especially orthopedic surgery.
I have arthritis rheumatoid for almost 18 years. Meds only gave me drugs and drugs and I was never getting better. I had insomnia, depression and a lot of side effects caused by medication. After watching Gary Brecka on diary of CEO, I tested for B12 and vitamin D. Bingo! I was deficient in these vitamins. No doctor ever cared about that. After supplemented I was incredibly better: better sleep, mood, energy…I also follow his breathing exercises, cold shower, morning sun, regular exercises, health diet (no processed food, conscious about vitamins and nutrients ). . I finally feel better and I don’t need expensive medication anymore, just the cheap ones in lower doses. In all my 18 years of chronic disease, no doctor has ever told me I could change that much with only changes of habits.
that's weird because B and D is the first thing my doctor looked for.
Yeah you must have had some really bad Drs. Vitamin deficiency especially D and B are like the first thing they test for.

Not just medical claims.
What about freedom of speech?

Making unfounded health benefit claims is illegal here in Sweden, but most importantly enforced by a designated government body akin to FDA.

"Being unafraid to say 'I don't know' is the mark of a true medical expert" THANK YOU, PREACH IT!!!!
This seems a big issue these days. It seems more about sounding confident no matter what rubbish is coming out. Who needs to answer a question if you can confidently talk about something else and pretend that's an answer. It's really annoying.
But it works doesn't it? That's the most disturbing thing
Haha. The same people saying "yes preach" are the same people that would loose your mind if a mechanic said sorry we are not sure yet so we are going to try this...
I'm pretty sure Dana White is going to die of a heart attack or stroke. He's wound up a bit too tight. I love MMA but Dana is no doctor.
That’s one of my foremost flags indicating a competent and capable professional!
Yeah at the same time he idolizes Fauci who says things like "I am the science" when questioned about things so everyone has their bias
I know far too many people who are reasonably smart, educated folks, but will still share health guru nonsense. It's alarming.
Because we can't be educated in everything, and a lot of us don't think about how we learn or believe sruffm
A couple friends of mine fell into this rabbit hole during Covid. Oddly enough, some previously very anti-vax family members stopped talking about being anti-vax during covid (and all got vaxxed as soon as it was available)
You win some you lose some, I guess?
It’s because they pray on the vulnerable. Everyone has their insecurities and issues. No matter how smart or educated, they are still human. These gurus use scientific words and partly true statements, and twist them and exaggerate them to manipulate people. And people have hope that it works. Deep down they may know is BS, but they are just hoping the quick fix/miracle cure works. They may also be desperate. People who suffer from chronic pain, hearing there’s a cure for their headaches it’s music to their ears. They would try anything at that point, because everything else they tried didn’t work, so they are desperately hoping it works. These gurus are despicable for manipulating the most vulnerable to make money.
No matter how smart, people are easily influenced
You know. There is a pattern I have been noticing. One of the patterns I notice about health guru is that it seems that they love to specify a reason for a certain incident, such as "headache? It is because of X" (let's say low sodium). These are not something that can be easily and consciously noticed.
@Dr. Mike I appreciate your feedback towards Gary Brecka and his contribution towards healthcare. I have taken his advice with sunlight, breathwork, grounding, vitamin D3, berberine, red yeast rice, curcumin, ice baths, sauna, low carb diet, hydrogen water, baja gold mineral water, etc. Im not not any beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, and lost 42 pounds. My trigylcerides have went from , 178 to 76, A1C 6.5 to 4.9 and total cholesterol from 278 to 186. Instead of bashing someone and claiming they are IKA's maybe correct the inaccurate comments along with praise. His teachings have dramatically changed my life. I believe you are concerned he is attacking modern medicine and big pharma and you dont appreciate the pushback. Proof is in the pudding and my pudding is a great, healthy life thanks to Gary.
I just started listening to Gary, so I have no loyalty to the guy, but this video was just a hit piece. And not a good one...
Lol. How exactly do you think things like grounding make any scientific sense?
@@oppsendless3814 do you actually want an explanation? Healthy skepticism is good but it's important to not shut things down just cuz they don't immediately make sense to us. There isn't enough research yet but early results are promising, I've seen possible benefits to ppl personally just can't do all the tests to make sure myself. I was extremely skeptical till I saw that. I appreciate Dr. Mike but some of his takes here were somewhat misleading and biased.
He even has the opposite of the Covid misinformation warning on this video. It would almost be funny if he wasn't leading people away from healthy lives with this obvious marketing video. Disgraceful. Last video I've ever watched of this salesman doctor.
I trust Gary has his ❤heart in the right place. Is he selling stuff... sure he is, but he's helping lots of people for FREEEEEEE 😊🫡

I’m a doctor myself and I really appreciate you sharing this. You need to use your voice to really push this point home. All these health gurus are just researchers and marketers. I was telling my wife they have no repercussions if their advice goes bad for a patient they’re just pushing products and making money.
Dr's push unhealthy things all the time. They also throw medicine at symptoms instead of finding the root cause of illness. What repercussions do you Dr's have?
I've saved so much money and time since watching your videos because I can recognize all the scams now and as soon as I see them I swiftly move on. Thanks for fighting the good fight!
Such a great comment! Fully agree! More people should watch Dr. Mike!
You are in good hands with big Pharma
whenever someone says: "I promise I am not a scammer" it means they are!😆 otherwise they wouldn't need to say that
So you have a habit of believing everything then, including this pill pusher!

For me... take an Aleve, drink a bunch of water, and go nap for half an hour. I feel like taking a couple of magnesium supplements helps too but I have no idea if it's addressing a problem or it's just placebo effect. I suppose it doesn't hurt, most people are kind of magnesium deficient anyway.

Your last sentence is hilarious 😂
Unfortunately the medical field is run by insurance companies and pharma companies because it is BIG business. And if your doctor doesn't subscribe to the 'Standard of Care' that was created by insurance and pharma, they can be sued and held liable. It's a tough position for a doctor to be in. And often the standard of care is ‘keep doing what you’re doing but also take this drug’. It leaves patients feeling that they’re not being heard and that they do not have options.
And to make matters worse, MDs have very little nutrition and lifestyle training, which is the root of where most disease comes from.
Our healthcare system is almost 100% reactive and not focused on preventative treatment
The ‘gray area’ as you refer to it is growing exponentially bc of this.. people want health experts, not drug dealers. And so too often we look to ‘IKA’s for alternative / natural solutions
💯
Very well said
Boom there it is
Exactly. Well said
really well articulated.
Geez Mike, I’ve been watching you for many years and was enjoying this video when I dipped into the comments and wow. Keep doing your best work, its shocking how many people are saying up is down. Yes the health system does need to do a better job, but attacking individuals as “fake” etc is counterproductive. As Naomi Klein put it, they get the facts wrong but the feelings right. We have an uphill battle to climb ahead of us.
I mean if people push bunk information they should be called out for it. If someone is selling snake oil as a cure all I would hope you would understand that is a bad thing that needs to be addressed.
I came across him a couple of weeks ago and it sounded convincing but thanks to Dr. Mike I heard that "sales pitch" loud and clear. He actually claimed he would make us into a super human with his genetic testing. Thank you Dr. Mike
but you fell for the sales pitch of a commercial TV doctor who loves being famous 😂
You’re wrong, go do your own research. You are capable.
As soon as I herd the migrain thing I would have walked away. My family has a history of migraines. My great grandfather was on some serious pain killers before he died because he had a constant migraine. I even went for testing and they scanned my head multiple times because they wanted to make sure it wasn't a clot or something (which it wasnt) so then they hooked me up to a brain wave imagining machine while I was having one. After 10 minutes of a 45 minute procedure the doctor comes in and gave me something for the head ache. And after I slept for about 30 minutes because it was that bad he showed me why he canceled it early. It looked like a rave was going on in my brain and he said it was rare but really untreatable. That really the only thing we could do is treat the symptoms as they happen. Also I know somepeople when they hear migraine they are going to think "oh its just a headache" no its way worse than that. I get super sensitive to hot and cold, movement of my own body is difficult. All of my senses start going haywire like I can see sound and taste air. I also get a fever not a duper high fever but a fever. And I can even get uncontrollable shakes from it like I'm am hypothermic. So I would have laughed in this dudes face and said "you think salts going to fix that? Get real." And moved on
Women in my family have genetic migraines I just blank face when people are like oh do this and this. No absolutely not doesn’t work.
I'm so sorry you and your entire family go through this! 😢
Wow, dude that's horrible. I'm nowhere near the medical field, but based on your description, it sounds like you have something called "cluster headache". A friend's father does have this cluster headache and the only thing he found that helped the symptons, since it has no cure, was pure oxygen inhalation a couple minutes per week. You could talk to your doctor and see what he thinks about it. Godspeed for you.
Damn so sorry for you :/ my dad gets migranes and its definetly not the same as a regular or even just a bad headache. Its a different thing sure its pain in the head but it doesnt do the same as a regular headache. I dont understand people who Think that it is ‘just’ a headache :/
@@cuturbs thank you very much. And cluster headaches and migraines are technically the same thing. Migraines though we're originally written as a "woman's only" condition based around the menstrual cycle. On paper my headaches are classified as clusters but calling them migraines means more people will understand what sort of level I'm dealing with. But yes even for not being a doctor you hit the nail on the head. And there has been some shift recently with treatment and categorization of cluster headaches stearing it away from being gender dividing disorders and realizing women can get them as well. And I was also told about the pure oxygen treatments. But of course my insurance wouldn't pay for any of it... but they will pay for pain killers that I use maybe once or twice a month.. so there is that I guess.
If you’ve ever listened to any of Gary Brecka’s podcasts, his big thing is genetic mutations and supplementation with folate and b12 to help methylation. Avoiding folic acid and processed food, eating organic food, cold plunges/sauna and sunlight. Literally told Joe on the biggest podcast in the world that “you don’t need to buy any of my products to follow my protocol”. I think what he’s doing is great work unlike plenty of doctors who want to put you on every medicine in the book
Agreed 👍🏼
Lmao you needed a Guru to tell you to eat healthy and get outside? My mom could have told you that in 1992
Don’t trust doctors anymore, not their fault. They’re apart of a broken system far beyond their ability to change it. They know to treat symptoms instead of addressing the underlying issue
It really is heartbreaking because its not just about taking people's money, which in itself is bad, especially if they are struggling financially but it also affects them mentally or physically. Because it's not as simple as, it's their choice to take it so I'm not liable when you are feeding on people's fear or desperation especially with issues that are chronic. I love that you're shedding light back on those that are accountable. Thank you for the great video 🎉
These fake doctors take a seeds of truth (medical information) and plant a forest of bullsh*t (sell fake products)
Dana White has more wealth than most and there is no doubt he went the standard route in healthcare and ended up lost and with a glut of symptom management drugs.
don't talk about taking people's ask yourself why pharma is the biggest money-generating profit-centric industry after the weapons industry ?? that should answer most of your questions and help you connect the dots.
You should listen to your own advice. The person your praising is part of the problem. The last few years has shown that. They have taken many lives and destroyed them. So make sure you look at this guy on the channel. Common sense. Don't be fooled by this big pharma doctor who definitely gets kick backs from the pharmaceutical industry
One of Gary's biggest talking points is the a percentage of people not being able to methylate certain things. Then recommending after testing taking certain amino acids that can help the body process things it has trouble processing. Why are Dr's avoiding supplements like Nitric Oxide (L Arginine) that is a known Vasodilator or Trimethylglycine and going right into prescribing angiotensin receptor blockers?
Gary is taking a very shallow look at methylation. Any good functional medicine doctor would have moved past this 10 years ago. It's mostly marketing with a grain of truth. But since most people still don't know what functional medicine is, how are they to know?
Because that is what they are trained to do. "Manage health" not actually curing or getting to the root cause.
Why would he bring that up?? He's tryna do a hit piece

I’m so thankful for Dr. Mike’s videos. If anything, his videos have prompted me to establish a general practitioner. Also his videos have given me confidence to call the doctor when I’m having symptoms and ask questions. I’m a person that NEVER wanted to bother the doctor, to the point that I became dangerously ill in the past. But now I am now realizing it is OKAY and preferred to call and ask, and to be my own health advocate. Thank you Dr. Mike!
These fake doctors need to be held accountable
I don't see how that would work. They make broad statements and legally shield themselves with disclaimers. And there's always more gurus to take their place. The only way to battle this is informing people how these scams work and why they work. Sadly there will always be desperate people in desperate situations who will cling to these scams as their only last hope. Same way financial scams work

And thank good she did. They found two things that are treatable and I‘m already much better.
People are becoming less and less comfortable with being wrong or not having all the knowledge. It's hard for me to admit I'm wrong sometimes, not because I need to be right but because I then feel stupid and like an idiot. That stems from childhood trauma, but I'm working on it. But we need to be comfortable with not knowing or not having the answers to everything.

Hey Doctor Mike, I would appreciate a video similar to this on Naturopathic Medicine!!! My girlfriend survived a terrible car accident and has a TBI and numerous problems from that. She uses devices like a Cefaly and Beamer. She also uses medications like Ubrelvy, Trazadone for sleep, and Qlipta. I'm skeptical of the naturopathic medicine but she had tried everything traditional medicine could offer and now is doing the powders she's recommended by her Naturopath. I would love to have more professional insight as in all my research I get mixed reviews.

Have Strenght
After watching Gary’s content I went keto, started taking TMG and a methylated multi vitamin and eating fermented foods daily (kimchi and pickles ). After a couple months my BP is lower, I am completely off of Zoloft, my blood work is the best it’s been in 20 years and I feel great. I hope to come off of BP meds this year under doctor’s supervision.
I’m 51 and I have never had a doctor discuss with me how to possibly come off medication.
Dr Mike, you seem to have a love for helping others. I appreciate your concern. But I’m torn.
If such simple tweaks could help so much, why have doctors informed me?
any Doctors to comment here??
I want this answer as well!
I found Gary a few months ago, and I don’t blindly believe everything he says but figured some things were worth a try. while seeing a neurologist for debilitating migraines (every 7-9) days, I tried the salt trick he mentioned. while it doesn’t cure my migraines, it has, to this point, extended the time between them (10-13 days). So dropping a pinch or two of fancy salt in the water I’m already drinking in the mornings isn’t a huge deal to me, it also helps me not feel bloated. My Dr is on board with it since more pain free days is the goal. Also I’ve been deficient and taking B12 for years with no change in my lab work so I tried the type he suggested as well, and I now have enough energy at the end of the day to cook dinner when I get home from work.
@@kirstenvaughn4717 He is telling you basic things that are true for some people to make you have trusts in him so you can buy his products he says things like breathe more and be calmer more and that will help you with headaches like duh if you are calmer you will have less stress which would lead to less headaches
One of the worst plagues in the modern world are doctors who are influenced by their politics instead of treating their patients. The past few years are very revealing of this hive mind mentality, and shows that even the most trained are influenced by their own emotions or the "I can't be wrong" ideology.

I only watched the first minute and when I saw him using Donald Trump in the opening comment, it told me everything that comes from "Dr. Mike's" mouth is going to be liberal propaganda. I find it funny how certain ones have such a distaste for our former President, but yet didn't and still don't have a problem with push the vaccine that "Operation Warpspeed" helped to create. MD's, pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies are not the saviors to our health conditions, they are the worst to suffer with IKA ideology.
So true.
Not all kinds of treatment are applicable or even working for everyone. Thank you Dr. Mike for calling out these IKA 'gurus' preying on ppl who are mistreated by the poor healthcare system
Honest question... how is encouraging people to use nature around them to do things like get good sleep, eat protein, exercise, and utilize the human biology to help treat root causes instead of paying money to big pharma... how is that preying?
I believe that Dr. Ken Berry is absolutely 100% honest and up-to-date with all medical science and research..
Is that sarcasm? I can't tell.
My Mom who was an RN detested Dr. Oz. She called him a "quack".
Tbf a lot of RN's are quacks too 😂
Thank you for everything you do Dr Mike, I’m so sick of pseudoscience and conspiracy theories dictating the discussion of basically everything at this point
What you have failed to talk about around Gary is that he mentions many times that he has a team of Doctors in his organization. As well as the many Doctors that are confirming what he is saying. Can you do a video discrediting those Doctors that back up what Gary is saying?
I said once, and I'll say it again. Critiquing Dr. Oz gives me more pleasure than it should as a Pennsylvanian.
And look who you got instead lol
@@Soljarag5 could be worse. At least Fetterman is actually a Pennsylvanian and isn't a medical charlatan.

As someone who wakes up with headaches and neck pain, I can tell you it's not from a deficiency is Himalayan salt (LOL) it's because i clench my teeth at night due to stress. My dentist recommended a $35 night guard. Problem solved.
Stress management will help too! Wishing you healing and relaxation! ❤
I have a night guard and went low carb from a standard diet and started to have headaches I did some research and increased my sodium and in a few days my headaches went away. It helped and worked. I still use my mouth guard to save my teeth 😁
I’ve had my share of health issues so I’ve gone down the rabbit hole listening to guys like Brecka, and they’ve taught me countless things that, like Dana, have changed my life. I appreciate what they tell me but I actually also really appreciate what Dr. Mike says. It’s all good information. Just gotta sift through it all to figure out what’s best for you.
I trust anyone that does not first reach for the prescription pad! They are bought and paid for pushers... nothing more!
Yep! I am no longer on BP pills thanks to Gary!
Dr. Mike is trying to sell your health to Big Pharma.
How do you know which is which FFS….Brecka spews sciency sounding nonsense and describes micro biological mechanisms…. Ignores outcome date fine be real science
One of the main reasons why this Gary guys gets people with his BS is because he starts every statement with a fact proven by science and then follows it with his BS. This makes people a lot more likely to believe what he says as truth. It's despicable.
whenever i see or hear one of these "health gurus" the first question that comes to mind is "are they a licensed medical doctor?" next to that is "whats their history? their accolades?"
you can never be too safe in the internet
3rd leading cause of death are medical mistakes by licensed Doctors! That’s the history
Yeah because a degree means someone is instantly credible. Don't be a 🐑
More credibility than the one without @@LisbonLadd
Why am I more convinced of Gary Brecka after watching this?
Actually proud of UA-cam in one tiny small regard for their little fact checks they add to videos now.

@@galvanizedgnomehaha. Yup dr Mike is a lib.
@@galvanizedgnome😂😂 pathetic.
Thank you! One size does NOT fit all. In clothes or health-care. I have lost so much faith in the medical community the way I get treated. Health-care does need to be personalized and individualized. It needs to stop being about profit and propaganda. It needs to go back to being about helping people live their best lives.
The best line here is doctors have dedicated their lives to the art of healing people 😂
Absolutely laughable isn't it?
One thing I love about my general care doctor is how he will be very upfront with things he doesn't know. I remember one time I told him my symptoms and he responded with "I think I know what it might be, but let me do a bit of research and consult with my fellow doctors to see if they are thinking the same thing I am." Turned out that his initial instinct was right, and he prescribed me a treatment that worked. My doctor is a human and I hope to be his patient for years to come.
As someone who gets chronic migraines, headaches, brain fog, etc, the salt one made me laugh so hard. So glad I work at home cuz I would've gotten some side eyes. I'm on a low-sodium diet (per doctor's recommendation for other reasons)
so, you're on a low sodium diet and you still get migraines, headaches, and brain fog? Hmm. Couldn't be the low sodium, could it?
Just because something doesn’t apply to you doesn’t mean it’s worthless to someone else.
@@76rtc: 👍👍👍
@@peterhorak3602 Unless it is worthless. Which most of what this Gary guy pushes is. Just pure pseudoscience with placebo with a sprinkling to actual to sell the rest of his nonsense. The only thing that worked for dana was the trt and diet and exercise. Low T is known to correlate to chronic headaches.
@@76rtc If that is true the diet they are following for another reason is probably more important than just some migraines
Gary Brecka knows way more about the human body than a DO Doctor practicing family medicine does. This guy in the video even says at one point, What's that? He doesn't understand the depth of what a Human Biologist Scientist knows. Brecka did for me what he did for Dana White. Doctors tried putting me on medication for high blood pressure. I lowered mine to a consistent 110/65. It happened in less than a month. I have crazy energy. I'm happy, I'm healthy, I'm losing fat, and keeping muscle and I'm in my 50's. This Doctor showed me that Dana White is right about not going to a Doctor unless you have a broken arm. Get Gene tested even if it's not by Brecka and feed your deficiencies the nutrients they need, and stop eating what you shouldn't. Boom, you're life will change!
This was a good clip - good level of language, engagement and truly instructive. Proper engagement on specious claims that is truly useful, especially for the layperson. Thank you.

Himalayan "sea" salt? Really, dude? The Himalaya range is freaking landlocked! Anyone with access to a world map or a freaking globe could tell you that! People really will fall for anything, won't they? Much love to you, Mike, for calling out all this ridiculous bullshit!
Well, it used to be sea salt right?
Well parts of it were underwater several million years ago before the Indian tectonic plate collided with the Eurasian plate. But Himalayan sea salt is nothing special other than being a nice color. I prefer to buy iodized salt. That way I get enough iodine. Morton's salt is cheaper too.
@ks8084 quite true. But "true" sea salt is gathered by evaporating seawater, whereas other salt is mined. The only thing special about the pink salt is that it has trace amounts of iron giving it a pink color.
You do realise it’s dried up right? Meaning there was a sea in the past. The reason why these inland salt mines are better is because they’re less polluted than typical sea salt.
@@anasazidarkmoonalso what makes them so good is that compared to traditional sea salt, micro plastic contamination + contamination of whatever else is in the sea water is limited. As the lake dried up millions of years ago, but when it was a lake the sea wasn’t polluted with half the toxins we have today. Celtic salt is better tho (:
Dr.Mike. You are SO GOOD! Thank you.
As a person who suffered from dull headaches like one of them mentioned, I can tell you its from lack of hydration and too much salt & alcohol not lack of it lol
Can we take a moment to appreciate that when Gary talked about depression the bottom said "why anti-depresamts are scams"? Honestly the no spell-check should tell you everything you need to know
Thanks for sharing this Dr. Mike. I come across so much content and now that I’m off social media (except watching UA-cam on TV), I’m safe from all these extravagant claims! 😅
Makes me appreciate my uncle taking me to flea markets. Watching him fleece people and showing me how others fleece people. Crappy person but because of him I'm always skeptical. It's also why I push Drs to explain and then ask questions that I might get from Google on the issue.
As someone who was recently told to increase salt intake by my doctor, the part about the 'Himalayan pink salt' was both hilarious and disappointing
I did the sea salt sole and it changed my life. No more headaches!!
Only 3 minutes in but wanted to share a very recent experience. A month ago my son was sick so took him to an urgent care to get checked out. We were away from home, otherwise would have gone to his regular pediatrician. Anyhow, the urgent care doc prescribed mometasone. Pharmacy worker where we went said it was going to cost something like $65 after insurance, but that we could just get Nasonex on the aisle shelf right behind us for $19. The worker verified with the pharmacist that what was prescribed was exactly the same as Nasonex, including the amount per spray. Out of curiosity, I asked how much it would have been without insurance: $135. Unbelievable that a doctor would try to stick us with a $135 prescription for Nasonex that only costs $19. So, just on the topic of trust... "snake oil salesmen" and all that. Doctors are not perfect or fully trustworthy, either.
Doctors are not experts in everyone's individual insurance. So the doctor that gave you that prescription didn't know how much or how little your insurance was going to pay. Could they have advised you of the other option? absolutely but don't blame them for not knowing what your insurance does or does not cover.
@@Weebit13Cop-out. My RN relative tells me all the generics and cheaper equivalents. If they can do that, then an MD, who is supposed to he more qualified and doing everything in the patient's best interest, can go the extra mile on med prices and alternatives.
The fact that the medicine has already a generic version/brand means is an old medicine which patent has already expired. The doctor may just be not familiar with the generic version so they just prescribed the brand that they're familiar with for years.
@@Weebit13 I do not expect them to be experts in all insurance which is why I pointed out the price being $135 BEFORE insurance was applied, not after. No excuse for a professional to prescribe $135 base price mometasone which is the exact same thing as $19 Nasonex. Even the pharmacy technician (or maybe she was a cashier) knew that they were exactly the same and confirmed it with the pharmacist in front of me. But a doctor does not know this? There are some things not right with our medical system in the US, this is definitely one of them.
@@melintir Mometasome is the chemical name. Same exact stuff. The doctor tried to sell it for $135 when it's OTC for $19. That would be like selling acetaminophen for $135 when they could have just said to pickup a bottle of Tylenol for $20.
Health Gurus just try to swoop in at the end and take the credit, the only twist is that they have no idea what they are talking about.
I was suffering with debilitating migraines as a teen, and all the specialists we saw (pain specialist, neurologist, just to name a few) couldnt't really help me so we also turned to alternative medicine.
Ended up at a homeopath, she was a little old lady in an office in her own home. She prescribed me these tiny little pills, that I'm absolutely convinced were just sugar, that I had to take once a month. I wasn't allowed to touch them with my hands because that would stop the from working. They were expensive af and they didn't do anything (of course lol).
Oh and she also told me that I was being bullied because my personality sucked and I should go to therapy to learn to be different.
But how did you manage to recover from the migraines?
@@dddila I found out they were being triggered by my hormonal birth control because I accidentally ran out. Never took them again and they cleared up somewhat but I still have them a few times per month. Not nearly as bad as it used to be though.
@@wallie4734 Going off birth control hormones is a holisitc approach. Mainstream medicine will tell you birth control doesn't cause migraines. Functional/Holistic medicine knows birth control is problematic.
@@76rtc That's not true. Migraines were listed as a side effect. I did read that when I first started but I was too young to link them.
Furthermore they I did actually need them, as my periods were so bad they were literally making me anemic.
Birth control isn't evil, it just didn't work for me.
V Shred next please!
Hilarious! Dana White was on meds for high cholesterol, blood thinners, he had high blood pressure, super high triglycerides, was on a c-pap machine for sleep apnea, tinnitus, overweight, chronic inflammation in his legs, low energy, poor memory and concentration. He was a walking heart attack! Gary Brecka told him to change his diet to keto, exercise, cold plunge, do a genetic methylation test and take the right supplements. In ten weeks Dana White was off ALL meds, no longer had sleep apnea, tinnitus was gone, inflammation was gone, he was shredded after and has been on multiple shows talking about how Gary saved his life. Dana White said he will never go to a doctor again for general health. I have a similar experience as well. MD,s are in it for the money, not your health!
Gary is that you
Same i have developed serious clinical ocd after learning about methylation my medication is gone and i am better now 😊
Ok but how has Dana got in such good shape and improved all his stats on the charts?
Dr.Mike brushes that fact off by saying he just started eating better and get more sleep etc. instead of admitting that Gary imposed all these changes, performed tests, gave appropriate supplementation etc. while Dana’s regular doctors only prescribed more and more drugs over the years.
Trt
Yes and dana is a multimillionaire I would think he had the best doctors at the time. Gary was just on the joe rogan experience I would highly suggest listening to it.
On Spotify
@@elwoodberg960Dana said out of all the doctors he went to, none of them could help. Gary was the only was that was able to help him improve in all of the areas of his health issues. Not about the money at all
you're a legend Mike, these health guru's drive me insane
It's crazy how this Dr Mike guy can completely discard a real life testimony of one of the least BS guys I've ever seen...Dana White. I believe he did it with Steve Harvey too
And how about the article in JAMA where they admit that medical doctors are the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States?....I'll wait.
Exactly
That's how you know he's biased
Yeah forget the trt Dana white is pumping through his veins. Anyone who gets their test elevated beyond that of what an 18 yr old has is going to look better regardless of their crappy diet
yeah Dana White is so rational and scientifically-minded 😂
I love it when a doctor talks about the spreading of misinformation. So ironic.
He almost did have a tv show, but the producers wouldn't let him have enough control to be able to say no to misinformation.
@Doctor Mike why don’t you debate Gary Brecka
Cause he knows he can't.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"👌👌
EXACTLY
And he gave none!!
And what is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. # Hitchins
Thank you Dr Mike. As a student paramedic I find this to be very informative and eye opening.
Neither health gurus nor doctors know what the perfect diet is. The true diet is what your body feels good on. For instance fruits and vegetables makes me incredibly bloated. But being on a full meat diet makes me feel so much better everyday
I'm so glad you've made this video. I know too many people who get duped by these charlatans. Rather than engage in a conversation with them, I'll just have them watch this video.
More people have been duped and hurt by doctors that just throw medications at them than they have been hurt by UA-camrs.
Not every Doctor is Doctor Mike.
I would love to see a conversation with Dr Mike and Aubrey and Mike (from the Podcast Maintenance Phase). They have done so many episodes going through the claims of “health gurus” and “wellness personalities/celebrities” I feel like it could be an incredible collaboration.
It is incredible that Dr. Mike is admitting they don’t know how to treat depression and they don’t know why medication is working but they give it to the patient. Mind blowing! The other mind blowing thing is that any physician in the U.S can give you an antidepressant without any psychiatric test. There you go… big pharma! 👏
My grandma truly does have low sodium and has her doctors telling her to consume a certain amount of sodium a day. She rarely ever has a head ache, muscle ache, or whatever else this quack is claiming 🤦🏻♀️
Dr Mike absolutely crushed this medical misinformation,some people don’t realize how their “miracle cures” will affect other people it’s just so sad how most of them aren’t Even medical professionals giving out”Medical advice “, I really enjoyed the episode learned so much :)
Thank you :)))))
I started the superhuman 10x (Gary Brecka’s program). The program is life changing in a positive way. I feel better than ever. I believe Gary and the superhuman 10x program because I’m currently on it! Doctor Mike sounds like a man who just wants to debate, get subscribers, get likes and cares more about his UA-cam channel instead of making people healthier
agree. clicks. & jealousy...Gary get people to get into health & taking charge. Regular GPs. only pushing pills & charging $.
. sorry not sorry...the truth. licenced drug peddlars IMHO
The honesty of doctors is key to a trusting relationship with them. My gastroenterologist is refusing to acknowledge that she’s reached the point of my problems being outside her expertise. I wish she would understand that and refer me for a second opinion so my gastroparesis can be better managed
This reminds me of all the short videos I'm seeing on social media relating every little symptom to ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression. Gurus and influencers are grabbing something that is common to everyone, such as the mid-afternoon dip explained in your video, and then relating it to their product they are trying to sell.
This! And then it’s a video of someone forgetting to close the cabinet doors and it says something like “a day of living with adhd!” 🫠
Yep a few years back it was everyone diagnosing themselves with OCD just because they like to have organised bookcases. Not that they have debilitating repetitive actions and thoughts.
I guess ADHD is the next ‘trend’
@@Vonononiethese people really grind my gears. I have adhd, severe enough that I could probably get disability benefits. I'm completely non-functional without my ritalin. it's not cool or quirky to have adhd, it's a condition that makes life extremely difficult. before I finally got the help I needed, I WANTED to have adhd, but not because I thought it was cool - having adhd meant the symptoms ruining my life were treatable.
“I know a couple of people who have a deep understanding of human biology and nutrition, sometimes even more than some doctors. In my opinion, many doctors are shaped by an educational system heavily influenced by big pharmaceutical companies. It often feels like their primary approach is to prescribe medications rather than addressing the root causes of health issues. I believe the curriculum for medical professionals is largely designed to align with the interests of big pharma.”
I would love a Doctor Mike video explaining what is known about depression and what the difference is between medications. I've been on SSRI and SNRI meds and I don't really get the difference despite looking it up
I’m autistic and SSRIs don’t work for me. They just make me feel tired and numb. It’s basically a way to make neurotypicals more comfortable to be around me. It does nothing to help me. I told my doctor this and they prescribed an SSRI and lied and told me it wasn’t. I of course, felt tired and stopped it when I found out what it was. Now on a stimulant for ADHD. Too low to really notice a difference, but I do feel less tired.
I'm glad to see Dr. Mike continuing to criticize these con artists. We need someone to persistently go after them like Houdini's mission to debunk psychics.
I love Doctor Mikey ❤
Great video! It helps us filtering BS! Thank you Dr. Mike
As a registered nurse, Infection Preventionist, I am so grateful for fellow Healthcare providers setting out to debunk misinformation. Thank you for fighting a good fight!
We need a live debate between Doctor Mike and Gary Brecka
I was a skeptic as soon as Dana white said “All the richest most powerful people on the planet are doing this.”
I think Dr.Mike hit the nail on the head on why these gurus are so popular: he tells his patients when he doesnt know, he tells them when he's not sure. These gurus fill people's minds with the answers they want to hear and they do it with confidence and THAT'S why people listen to them.
doctor mike NEVER disappoints with his content
Never disappoints to disappoint with his bias.
Listened to Gary, did a genetic test (not Gary’s, but some for 230€) and figured I have the MTHFR gene mutation. Shot the shot started taking methylated B-Complex and feel much better. Gary may not have all the answers, but he got some.
Which testing did you go through, and was there any differenece between that and Gary's? I've been researching and comparing the different companies before I make a decision
Thank you a Lot Dr Mike for repeatedly telling these things as many people blindly follow these supposed health experts
I love when you do these sorts of videos. Please do more. Gurus like this do so much damage.
I hear what you’re saying at the same time I was bankrupt it into poverty by misdiagnosis and after I was so sick that I was unable to work to pay the $1500 plus a month insurance premiums I have been treated like garbage by some of the top medical institutions in the country. I have great respect for science and doctors but I also see that the system that the doctors operate in our greedy corporate driven and brutal to the patients. Doctors refused to speak out on our behalf because they’re afraid they’ll lose their job or their residency so the whole system is starting to collapse so you’re right but you’re also wrong.
We need more of your like around. There are so many quacks in the industry now that its utterly painful. You and your ilk are more important than ever.
Do you prefer drug dealers over health care providers?
@@Technics19 no, I prefer critical thinkers who value the evidence instead of absolute quacks who make it up as they go along like Gary Brecka (with criminal records, no less)
@@Technics19 also, did you not watch the whole video? He mentioned the problems with the current healthcare systems. But also the problem of charlatans that take advantage of this with shady marketing. It's a very balanced take, unless you are married to your conspiracies and happy to be scammed by quacks like Brecka.
I want more Gary Brecka videos!! I love how you rebut his claims!
I ended up in UA-cam after being suffering from heart palpitations, because DRs can't help me. Watching Gary gave me a hope that now you broke it.. I really don't know what to do..
Breka's advices won't hurt you unlike all the meds prescribed by "real" doctors. Check out all the other comments of people who had benefits
how are you hanging in there? if you google UpToDate and palpitations you can pay ~$20 and get a summary of the medical literature. Most of it is broadly good advice, healthy diet, sleep hygiene, exercise, stress management, avoiding stimulants. If you want to try something more biohacky, there are biofeedback devices that help you improve your heart rate variability, an indicator of your body's ability to manage stress. Or you could try breathing exercises, meditation, yoga or tai chi or qi gong which all help reduce stress and improve relaxation. I hope that helps!
I would be inclined to err towards gary brecka's advice.
Take magnesium and Hawthorne berry.
same
I love hearing Dr. Mike trying to train people to be sensible. Keep up the good fight!
I just wanna say thank you for making videos like this debunking the myths that really get people all frantic. Never change the level of integrity and transparency in your videos Dr Mike! God bless.
I just wonder why people have not realized that there is no way to stop the aging process and that one day it'll happen to all of us.
Because modern doctors’ advice related to overall health has a really great track record😂. I think regular doctors probably have a little work to do when it comes to building back trust in their advice. Going to suggest some humility and some soul searching on their part. Most doctors know very little about human nutritional needs and in general just do what they are told by their teachers and “best practices” which can often turn out to be just perpetuated wrong information. There is a lot of group think in the medical establishment. Sorry, I think its good to listen to new voices and get other perspectives on health and consider a variety of options that weigh risks and benefits. I do think it is wise to consider what biases people are bringing and the financial gains they stand to make and look at any recommendations / claims given by these folks with a skeptical eye but one can usually ferret out the good information from exaggerated claims with a little effort.
