same🥺 it was very heart warming and empathic, specially because I have been indeed that person who gets to the point of weeping and sobbing of frustration because they can't sleep, I really loved this
@@Noodlepunk yes! it’s the only thing that i’ve found that can get me to sleep. it’s stressful bc I want a career in medicine and im finding most jobs they drug test you. still trying to navigate it a lot because of the legal issues
Saaaame. Mine isn't to the point of being an every night thing, but it's close. I have such a hard time sleeping that I typically get maybe 3 to 5 hours a night until I'm finally just completely exhausted and just crash at, like, 5 pm and sleep til 7 the next morning every couple weeks.
As a person with a chronic illness, thank you SO MUCH for your rant about medical promises from random tiktokers. It does make us feel like we're broken and less than. Hearing doctors make this rant is really validating
@@daniell5740 clearly you weren't listening to his rant. When NOTHING has been working, you become desperate so you are willing to try anything. You also clearly don't have a chronic condition because if you did, you'd know to STFU. Only healthy people spout BS like you just did and think you're being cute and funny. Yes, of *course* Tik Tok isn't and shouldn't be used for medical advice, but again, desperate times...
@@daniell5740 part of the problem though is the other people who see these videos start recommending to us directly to do some of these things. It ultimately turns into this perception that it is a failing of the person themselves for not getting better, and in more extreme cases it gets turned into the perception of a failure of morals.
Ik fr!!! Like there be people like “oh this can cure diabetes” and as a type 1 im intrigued but ik for a fact there is no cure. Its nice to have hope but they do it to get money and clout. Its kinda sad.
As someone who used to be morbidly obese, the weight loss trends are sickening to me. It really preys on people's desperation and further damages the way people feel about their bodies when they don't get the results they're promised.

This this this!!!!!! I think that there are only a few reasons to go on a liquid diet, and they should always be medically directed or out of pure need and not vain for weight loss. I’m talking like jaw wired shut, surgery, injury, or illness like stomach flu if you cant keep food down.
@@missaniebananie6473It really doesn't matter whether you drink them or not, the calories are still there, not only that but they're easier to consume and infinitely less filling, and that's the problem with liquid diets.
General rule: Do not take nutrition (or ANY) advice from social media; always seek out credible sources, preferably peer-reviewed. Yes, it's true peer-reviewed has its flaws... but allowing anyone to say whatever they feel like isn't one of them.
@@tiagomoraes1510 If you're seeking advice, social media is NOT the place to go. If you really do need advice, you can't tell what's smart and what's stupid.
@@tiagomoraes1510 So,instead, you validate the video author's credentials first. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Far too many UA-cam authors don't even provide a name you can use to verify this.
I grew up in a very “diet” orientated family. DR.MIKE actually helped me put a perspective on “actual” healthy lifestyles and how one should eat to maintain healthy eating habits !
the part at 9:00 where dr Mike freaks out about how his patients comes in with insomnia and depression literarily brought me to tears because it is exactly what I'm going through. I hate all these "diy" advices soo much, it helps no one
it's seriously so true, it only hurts. I've had insomnia since I was like 5 (due to nightmares at that time) and it was always something that people had all these tricks for falling asleep easy, but I could never fall asleep and it was absolutely crushing
Lack of sleep a lead to severe depression. Something you can't just "get over". Turned out, I had sleep apnea, which didn't help. I recently started using 2mg of Melatonin which seems to help me fall asleep and feel sleepy.
The misinformation is also infuriating in other conditions. Like telling me my mom with terminal breast cancer should really try soursop juice or baking soda. Like anything like that is remotely going to make a difference at that point, if it ever would have.
What upsets me the most is when people actually take the so-called "advice" and think that it's a cure all. And like Dr.Mike said, when people find out it doesn't work, especially patients who have been suffering because of their condition, it makes them feel even worse about themselves. So the "advice" isn't always harmless. I wish the internet could ban these types of videos.
something annoying for me is when people say to just drink tap water, because where i live the tap water is DISGOSTING, you cant see them but its filled with germs
The food you eat directly impacts how you feel and show up in the world. Even if it doesn't lead to disease, if the food you eat isn't healthy and nutritious, you won't feel your best👍
"bro why do you eat fries before your burger?" the actual answer is: fries only taste worse the colder they get, so you eat the fries first cause your burger's gonna taste fine a little bit colder and it's gonna cool down a bit slower anyway
I always keep them in the bag but close off the bag so the steam doesn’t escape and the fries stay warm. Seems to work but mostly on freshly made fries
The fact that manuka honey is antibacterial shows that we doctors use "natural" medicines too - although many of the medicines we use are derived or inspired by natural sources!
but they only use them if they have been proven to work. honey has very little water in it, so it when put on a wound it helps draw the water out, killing the bacteria. its also quite acidic as well and some types can also make form hydrogen peroxide, when diluted apparently
You should have Matt Stonie on to talk about how competitive eaters actually eat normally. I’ve always wondered how people competitively eat in a “healthy” manner, and if it involves working out, a specific diet, something else, or even just a combination of any of those.
A few pro eaters that I follow seem to have a healthy lifestyle outside of their extreme hobby/profession. Furious Pete, BeardMeatsFood, and Leah Shutkever all have very clean diets and exercise/workout regularly. When it comes time to do the challenge or competition (Pete doesn't compete anymore, and doesn't really do these challenges anymore either) they fast and restrict their diets leading up to it. The pro eaters that I follow don't have regular bad eating habits and that helps them stay relatively healthy. Obviously can't speak for all of them though.
At this point I feel like we need a 5 hour long compilation of Dr. Mike absolutely losing his mind over misinformation. Edit: Holy $hit, this blew up like crazy! 😳
I’m really thankful that you addressed how dangerous it is to make random promises. I have a nightmare disorder, and people always assume I just need to take melatonin or get more sunlight, as if I haven’t tried everything, including every random hack on the internet.
@Yashika Kolli "Nightmare disorder is referred to by doctors as a parasomnia - a type of sleep disorder that involves undesirable experiences that occur while you're falling asleep, during sleep or when you're waking up."
I had something similar where I would have nightmares everyday but after 2 years it got better and now instead of only having 1 or 2 decent dreams a year I now get about 90-100 every year I still get more nightmares than good but it's improving so I'm happy. I think what caused it was my dad passing away because it would always be about my dad
Your response to the magnesium “life hack”….THANK YOU, Dr. Mike. I cried hearing a doctor have their patients back in regards to their health and life struggles. I personally have struggled with insomnia for years now and nothing helped until I seeked our medical treatment. THANK YOU, DR. MIKE
@eioshen boboi Lots of people positively benefit from taking magnesium. I've read many testimonies as well as experienced it myself just with small applications of transdermal magnesium, which is significantly more bioavailable than pills. However,I acknowledge that not everyone responds the same and would never make any false promises. I believe this would apply to any doctor, though... Be it a naturopath or conventional doctor.
@@HoHhoch Was just having a discussion about this with someone.. Not even doctors get it right 100% of the time. From what I understand they’re not very well versed when it comes to nutrition. The example i gave the other person was that of the infamous food pyramid. It was recommended by doctors and basically the gospel of nutrition back when I was in school.. only to have to be revised because it wasn’t as healthy as they thought. Point is, due diligence is important whether receiving information from people’s experiences or even a doctor.
I had someone telling me about the benefits of alkaline water. She had some that she added lemon juice to! I said that it was now acidic and she said that it was ok as lemons are only acid in an alkaline way.
I adore the passion you have for combating medical/health misinformation. You're a physician--yet you speak like a patient advocate and dear god how we need more of you!
For anyone who doesn’t understand what he’s saying Nikocado was actually posting prerecording those videos and he lost as much as 200 pounds and called it, “The greatest social experiment.”
He got it wrong, no way is any alcohol evaporating, it may have decomposed but that would only be if the temperature was high enough to allow the decomposition to take place. But no way is anything evaporating out of that container, the thing about the cork is waffle
Great Experience I had with you DOC OKOUGBO UA-cam channel after using his herbal product & get cured from herpes Virus totally. Thanks so much DOC OKOUGBO UA-cam channel
The honey thing- my dog is a rescue dog and when the nurses found her she had a huge open wounds across her back, and when they stitched it up, they put honey on the wound to relieve the pain. Her name is now Honey Badger.
Not quite the same, but I once saw someone recommend raw, legit honey as a skin cleanser. Seemed to work pretty well; never saw any negative effects. I thought it'd be so sticky but it washed right off with water! Never realized it could be used in situations like with your dog.
@@redvinesron It turns out the thing that makes it work so well as a skin cleanser makes it a great thing to put on wounds(within reason of course)! I do the same as you, I use it on my face. Mostly because I have a facial piercing and it’s the only thing I had that wouldn’t irritate it while it healed
9:35 I’ve never felt so understood re insomnia. Some of us can’t “just take magnesium” or “have a bedtime routine” to fix insomnia. If it was that simple do you not think we’d have solved it?!
@@snow1851 It was a confusingly phrased/tensed comment, but he's talking to Mike. Mike discussed how people with insomnia may have tried many things, and this unlikely cure that's being promised is just something else that can make the temporary high of promised relief feel that much worse when you reach the inevitable truth, and this is especially true for the depressed.
I have insomnia and when I told my mom that I had it as a little kid too, she said that was impossible. I told her that's why I'd always get up at night and tell her I couldn't sleep and after a bit of convincing she said, "Then you don't have insomnia, you have an actual medical problem". What??
I've been struggling with insomnia since I was seven, and I love how he points out the POOP tips, from melatonin to sitting in the darkness for hours every night nothing has worked. The earliest I've went to sleep in probably 7 years is 10 pm. There are a lot of bullcrap ideas for sleeping better and I like how you don't take it. If you see this doctor Mike, I highly appreciate this and I've been thinking of getting a sleep study so I know why I'm not sleeping.
Probably won't apply, but I watched a video from a guy called chubbyemu where he get insomnia after going on a diet, and he couldn't figure out why. He ended up being deficient in some vitamin or something, but i'd do research on it.
I have insomnia, anxiety and ADD, it is SO frustrating to not be able to sleep, I miss the time when I was 1-9 and could actually sleep, now I can't, because I'm so anxious about everything
@@dim7239 apparently I'm iron deficit and that makes it worse as said by my doctor but it's slowly grown since I was six and the doctors couldn't explain it. One person literally tried to say it's because of energy drinks (she automatically assumed thatvi drink it since I dress Alternatively). I hate soda and haven't had a sip in years, let alone energy drinks. People are hilarious
I have a kidney disorder that actually does affect my blood pH and all of this alkaline vs acidic stuff being trendy right now drives me up a tree smh I appreciate Dr Mike pointing these things out cause the misinformation around what it looks like if you're 'too acidic/alkaline' is patently ridiculous
@@theentertaner Panthers aren't actually a species. It's a general term used to describe any black big cat, like a black jaguar or a black leopard. So a jaguar can be a panther, but not all jaguars are panthers, and not all panthers are jaguars.
@@astridmaack4516 Ah, thank you for correcting me! Colloquially, people usually mean "black panther," but the scientific name for leopards/jaguars are panthera pardus and panthera onca - both panthers! It's mainly confusing that people refer to panthers as if they're one species, when it's a genus.
I feel so vindicated by your anger at the alkaline water. When my baby was regularly near death in the hospital with recurrent bronchiolitis, I had a woman we know who sells alkaline water machines hounding me. She KNEW giving my baby (with dysphasia who couldn’t even breastfeed!) bottles of alkaline water would cure him, and accused me of being an abusive mom for not trying every possibility to help my child. She was blocked from our lives but the anger still rises up in me!
Someone that at some point seemed we could be potential partners... I have seen a lot of videos in her social media recently, talking about alkaline water and how it just so miraculous..... She starts dancing while saying all the things it can cure, making a lot of wild promises.. It gives me so much second hand embarrassment, that I am glad I dodged that bullet.
I’ve felt like I was getting addicted to sugar and the marshmallow video gave me my answer! It seemed like despite efforts my body was craving it and now I know my gut microbiome must be out of whack so glad I came here
Honestly, Mike's adverts are the highest quality of any other content creator I've seen. The production value, the script doesn't sound like a script, it's genuinely so good
Yeah, he's not lazy and braindead like the majority of other youtubers. Doctor Mike informs us about useful knowledge while entertaining us at the same time.
"What did I miss in this video, why are we slapping ourselves with cheese?" Oh Doctor Mike, you are not missing out on the Nikocado Avocado rabbit hole
That and being confused at Gordon ramsay, don't worry he's not going vegan, he's taking the mick out of that vegan teacher after the crazy lady made some videos about him
The codine conversation unlocked a memory. I had a skin reaction to something (basically just very itchy), and they prescribed me a NARCOTIC. It just knocked me out. Like, "can't complain about itching if you're not conscious." I still don't understand why that was their solution.
I'm guessing what you were prescribed was an antihistamine. Histamine is naturally produced in the body and has two very different functions at the same time: it promotes itchiness in the skin and wakefulness in the brain. Antihistamines are drugs that antagonise the effects of histamine. So when you take an antihistamine to dampen down histamine function in the skin, some of this antihistamine ends up in the brain and has the unintended effect of causing drowsiness
It's pretty charming how this guy knows so much and comes in well prepared with medical facts and has well produced videos, but still has occasional bouts with bilingualism. More power Dr. Mike. Also, it's crazy how easily alcohol can diffuse. I was online drinking once with friends and probably because I got so wasted, I didn't seal the bottle of rhum properly. It was cheap local Tanduay rhum. Two weeks later when we were about to go drinking again I found that my rhum had reduced, tasted differently, and no longer had a kick to it.
I swear by topical honey. My mom is paraplegic and I take care of her and she’s prone to sores and nothing even medicine worked and we finally tried an out of the box idea and all medical professionals said no that won’t work and now it’s the only thing we buy as it’s all that works. She almost was hospitalized until we found this 😭 hearing a doctor advocate for this is so refreshing ❤
"When kids say they dont like water" if a human being has some sort of negative reaction towards the liquid the human needs to drink to survive then thats kind of not a reason to add whipped cream and olive oil in it
If: 1) Your water is fairly clean or filtered and 2) kids still don't want to drink it then 3) think about adding a little fruit juice, or sugar-free drink mix (like Crystal Light), or making tea with it. - I have met some adults who hate the taste of water, and adding something to flavor it has improved their hydration.
This sounds a lot like this weird "waterTok" trend that's been going around. People are basically turning their water into syrup/liquid candy. Yes, some of the recipes are sugar free but I can't help but wonder at what point we stop calling the stuff "water".
Clearly they're trying to say it gives you big boots energy, so you can walk around confidently in the clown shoes they gave you as a bonus for signing up for Goop's essential oils-based helth, strongth and smortness program.
I think the folks who are always pushing these "detox" trends are the same ones whose livers are shot due to high alcohol consumption. That's why they need the detox juice lol.
@@gorillaau It s true but this isn t a good point. Our respiratory system has also worked for a respective time period but it shows even by the pandemic how "evolution failed" to "make" it good. Disclaimer: Obviously i m no antievolutionist or anything like that. I ve just pointed a "flaw" in the human body
Watching this again, and I just wanted to point out that Big Angry Kitty's species (Puma concolor) is, in fact, called "puma", "cougar", and "panther". There's actually quite a few nicknames for it, because its native range is huge, spreading from Canada down to Chile and Argentina.
Which is strange since Panther is meant to refer to those of the Panthera genus, of which the extant species are Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Jaguars and Snow Leopards
@@luna.rose623 We actually don't have a particular name for them in Mississippi, but that's because they've been considered extinct in the area for 100 years. Well, quite a few sightings have been reported over the years, but no one has definitively proved it.
To anyone who may read this, just know that Avocado will most likely make a “review” (rant) about Mike’s video. DO NOT ENGAGE! That nutcase doesn’t just feed off high caloric levels, he feeds off hate. He feeds off drama and starting nonsense. Do not engage with Avocado. Truthfully, he’s already long gone into his delusions of “health”. There’s no helping him
@@matthewscorner2990 He used to be a vegan UA-camr whose whole schtick was he loved avocados, then he quit being vegan to start doing only junk food mukbang content, to the point where he's seriously harming his body with the amount of food he eats in his videos. He's also a complete drama addict, as Coy Wickens said above. There are many excellent video essays documenting his terrible behavior you can watch here on UA-cam.
ok, so, mike can have a 6 day job at a hospital working 18 hours a day, balance a UA-cam channel and upload once(ish) a week, and find the time to work out twice a day AND be able to have time to go to boxing matches? sounds like a superhuman to me.
"Panther" is not a separate species. It is simply the genus name where these animals below are placed: Lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards, and snow leopards. Calling any of these "panthers" would technically be correct according to their genus name, which is panthera. Cougars, cheetahs, lynx, domestic cat, etc. belong in the genus felindae; therefore, calling a cougar a panther is not correct.
Canadians refer to that type of "kitty" as a mountain cat. That's our term for the cats where "we've moved too close to their territory so they're taking it back".
Very close, but not quite: Cats (Felidae) are separated into two subfamilies: Pantherinae and Felinae. The Pantherinae ("big cats") consist of the genera Neofelis (clouded leopards) and Panthera (the five true big cat species as you mentioned). All other cats are Felinae ("small cats"). But there's several genera within Felinae, for example: Felis (domestic cats and wild cats), Acinonyx (cheetah), Lynx (lynxes), Puma (cougar), Leopardus (ocelot, margay).
oh also when people say "panther" they are referring to melanistic (black) leopards or jaguars, but typically jaguars because the trait is recessive in leopards but dominant in jaguars
i had codeine cough syrup once. it was the only cough medicine I've ever had that actually stopped me fully from coughing. I also wanted to keep going even after my cough was gone. I'll stick with honey.
I love how he tries to hold back the rage lmao But just a side note, tap water can be unhealthy depending on where you are. So do not always go for it, even if you're used to drinking tap water where you live. Specially when traveling overseas.
There is this youtuber living here in Germany (we have very safe tap water which is even better than most mineral waters from the bottle) and is originally from vietnam. Once she visited her family and was so used to drinking tap water that her mother had to slap the cup out of her hand because they have to boil tap water first because it is so bad.
I grew up with well water so the whole “every tap in the US” at the beginning of his spiel made me want to smack tf out of him. My water had a ton of rust and sulfur in it and zero fluoride. My teeth would have appreciated the fluoride!!

10:59 lol that "alkaline" water looks like a dangerously (corrosively) alkaline liquid close to a pH of 11.5 which wouldn't just be not healthy but life threatening corrosive ..
The "Bro Science" part sent me😂really! some people come up with the most random excuses to justify poor eating habits. Love your videos Dr Mike, very entertaining and super informative, keep up the great work!👍
Your insomnia rant made me feel validated, I've suffered depression and Insomnia since I was a kid (seriously, no joke). My insomnia is currently getting worse, I think I need to buy a new bed this time though, so I am going to as soon as I can. it really does have me in tears many days, it's literally caused a chain reaction that ultimately made my mental and physical health suffer A LOT! These a-holes making promises like that with no actual evidence to back up their claims, with no regards to those they are negatively affecting with their false claims, they have no idea what this feels like. I also have Fibromyalgia (like actually spent the last ten years getting tested for everything, this diagnosis wasn't given lightly).
@@briancagordon2308 sadly yes. I don’t think he can practice anymore but he actually is a legit heart doctor who was really good at it. But he’s insane now.
I love how simple Dr. Mike makes health info! It's really not that complicated, there's just no shortcuts. Also, as a biologist, I will hopefully help you feel better about your cat ID. Panther, cougar, puma, mountain lion, they are all correct!! They all refer to the same species. It's the big cat with the largest demographic range covering most of North, Central, AND South America so it's not surprising it has so many names :)
I google the difference between panther and cougar then ctrl+c ctrl+v Difference Between Cougar and Panther Cougar is always a defined and identified particular species, while a panther could be any of the big cats. Cougar does not have a larynx and hyoid structures to produce horrifying roars, but panthers could produce roars. Cougar is a new world species, while panther is both a new world and old world species.
You are correct! The common name panther comes from the genus name Panthera, which belongs to the true big cats which can roar, like Panthera leo and Panthera tigris (lions and tigers). Confusion comes from common names just being how people describe what they are talking about. Most common names come from when we grouped animals based on their looks (morphology) rather than genetics/ancestry. Cougars do look pretty similar to lions, so it makes sense they ended up with a similar common name. Genetically, they are different enough that we gave them a different genus name, Puma. This is why we have the system for scientifically naming creatures, so we can discuss with accuracy, even across many languages. I love how many people are curious or interested! Hope this helps.
I know you may have said it eralier but I am so sorry for your mother to what happened to her i know it hurts but thankfully alot of people support your for your career

My uncle was on Dr Oz's show, and Oz basically tried to call him a new age healer/fringe doctor. My uncle is a professor at ucla, ran a major disease research institute, is considered one of the world's leading experts on alzheimer's. He's one of the world's most respected researchers, there are multiple documentaries about his work.
Your passion and drive to help people actually understand how the body works and what the real facts are is so important. Thank you for making these videos!
My Mum had a theory, for my older sister she sanitised EVERYTHING when she was a baby. By the time I was born, well let's just say it was clean but not hospital grade sanitised lol. My sister had a bunch of skin conditions and allergies, I had nothing, and she believes it was because for me everything wasn't sterile so my body was able to build immunities.
Hello Ailias, I develop eczema and my mom cleaned everything hospital grade due to the risk of asthma. I did not developed asthma but my immune system is weakened. Doctors recommend clean environment for the children allowing the interaction with different potential allergic molecules (kids that grow up with pets are less likely to develop fur allergies). However, in the case of diseases like eczema, everything should be sterile because we lack defenses. So, it actually depends on the baby's health condition.
My parents didn’t do this and I had eczema pretty much from day one. Seems to be more a hereditary thing in my family. Didn’t get allergies till I was 21. Sometimes it just happens
You can look into hygiene theory, its very interesting. I also did a paper in school about food allergies and the time they were introduced into the kids diets. For some allergens, such as peanuts, the earlier you give it to your child, the less risk of allergy to peanuts. Its super interesting because parents have become really worried about peanut allergies so they often times wait to introduce those foods but we actually have seen rates of allergies increase. We want to protect our kids from everything but the reality is that is likely doing more harm.
Love this!! Especially when you talked about insomnia. I thought I had it, but I just took things and did things from what I read on the internet, from searching all over the place. None of them harmed me, but nothing worked. I finally talked to my doctor about it, and she prescribed me some medication to take when needed. It works great, but I only take it if I go to bed early enough. I have a problem getting to sleep. Once I'm asleep, I'm good. I stay up at night overthinking about everything, so that gives me anxiety and depression. I'm glad I have a doctor that cares, and I'm glad you care!! Thanks for giving us accurate information as always, and debunking these crazy videos!
Damn, I wish more doctors had this level of respect for patients. Dr. Mike gets defensive over lies about better sleep. I had a doctor promise they would remove my medical device b/c I am an adult and can make those choices.. he lied.. then left the office after giving me a medication that increased depressive thoughts. *thumbs up*
I gained 13kg within 3 months due to meds, I was always slim before that. My gynaecologist told me to do exercise and not reward myself with an apple afterwards. I changed to a different gynaecologist. Respect is so important. Oh, and another doctor told me that my knee pain was because of those 13kg. Turns out I have arthritis.
Thank you for the clarification about pH. People need to hear that - especially ones in various "deacidification cults"! (It's a big thing in Europe, don't know in US - maybe wouldn't be a bad idea if you made a whole video on this topic (or have you already?))
And regarding eating raw meat: it's not only bacteria, it's also various parasites and toxins. Do you want trichine or fly larvae to eat their way to your brain and live there? (I know that with normal inspection done on the meat that is less possible, but it is still).
This video is the first time I've ever heard about people being concerned about the pH of their water. There are several reasons why you might want to filter your tap water, to make it safer to drink, (especially in certain countries,) but the pH thing feels pretty silly.
Also thank you for the alkaline water rant. Once had a coworker tell me I could cure acid reflux by drinking water with lemon juice in it, because it would make my body alkaline. The fact that we were at WORK and the boss was right there (and a big fan of pseudo-woo himself) was the only reason she didn't get schooled.
I've heard that about pickle juice but I don't think I ever bought it. I love lemon water but only because it tastes good. I got even more into it when I was pregnant because it helped with nausea for some reason and asked for a bunch of lemon slices in my water at a restaurant. The waitress (who was also pregnant) nodded understandingly and brought me a whole plate of them LOL.
Also thanj you for the alkaline water rant. Once had a coworker tell I could cure acid reflux by drinking water with lemon juice in it, because it would make my body alkaline.

If there's one thing I've learned on this wretched planet, its that social media health guru's, are either 'full of it', or they tell us what our mothers taught us years ago. Except Doctor Mike here. He's cool.
I really appreciate the disdain for alkaline water. I use to work in a chiropractic office, and one thing he sold was giant glass jugs of alkaline water. And it was expensive. I couldn't understand WHY people would by this water, when they have much cheaper water at home.
My mom was convinced for a while that alkaline water was the only water that wouldn’t make her sick as she recently went into stage 4 kidney failure. Don’t know what happened to change her mind about that but now she’s completely changed her diet and on an all doctors are trying to kill me kick
I would never buy super fancy alkaline water that's supposed to cure EVERYTHING that ails you, but we DO buy bottled water. The pipes aren't great in our house, and the tap water is hard anyway. We don't drink it. I CAN'T drink it, it literally nauseates me.
@@Felicat82 same here - water is supposed to be a colourless, flavourless, odourless liquid. What comes out of my taps is brown, disgusting tasting, stinky and lumpy.
I thought Mike was gonna pop a vein during half of this 😂 But I’m glad he gets mad at misinformation. It’s really harmful and makes people waste time doing things they don’t need to.
I'm glad you brought up Manuka honey, because my mother, who passed away seven years ago, had been in a wheelchair and bed bound before her passing, and had several bed sores. The doctor prescribed her Manuka honey, and it helped a lot. She even got a course of maggots at one point, to help the wound heal.
For me, the best part of this video was reading the words "LOL the restraint" and simultaneously watching his face go expressionless. LOVED IT! Dan's amazing!!! . . . It goes without saying for the doctor. 😜

"You know what eliminates toxins? Your organs. Your organs clean out toxins! Kidneys, liver... you have them, use them!" I would pay for you to come and say that to my mom. I am not even joking. Also, wanted to puke from the honey part. Still have shivers in my body from how disgusting that was
Well i didn't mind it, i actually really like honeycomb, yeah it takes about 30 minutes to chew sometimes but in normal quantities i think it's the perfect whole food dessert.

@@EskChan19 most ASMR isn't food though, like I don't watch anything that is related to that, but it's just anything that triggers that response that ASMR actually refers to and that can really be anything for different people.

the part at 9:00 where dr Mike freaks out about how his patients comes in with insomnia and depression literarily brought me to tears because it is exactly what I'm going through. I hate all these "diy" advices soo much, it helps no one
seriously all it gives you is false hope and thats just sad
it's seriously so true, it only hurts. I've had insomnia since I was like 5 (due to nightmares at that time) and it was always something that people had all these tricks for falling asleep easy, but I could never fall asleep and it was absolutely crushing
it doesnt always work, so i promise nothing but asmr helps at the very least on some days. some days nothing works and i just stay up all night
Lack of sleep a lead to severe depression. Something you can't just "get over".
Turned out, I had sleep apnea, which didn't help. I recently started using 2mg of Melatonin which seems to help me fall asleep and feel sleepy.
The misinformation is also infuriating in other conditions. Like telling me my mom with terminal breast cancer should really try soursop juice or baking soda. Like anything like that is remotely going to make a difference at that point, if it ever would have.
As a person who once suffered insomnia, it really does hurt. The world feels smaller, and you feel overwhelmed, and literally feel afraid to sleep.
You 2023
What upsets me the most is when people actually take the so-called "advice" and think that it's a cure all. And like Dr.Mike said, when people find out it doesn't work, especially patients who have been suffering because of their condition, it makes them feel even worse about themselves. So the "advice" isn't always harmless. I wish the internet could ban these types of videos.

Yes! And burger will taste good re-heated. Fries ... Not so much 🍟
I always keep them in the bag but close off the bag so the steam doesn’t escape and the fries stay warm. Seems to work but mostly on freshly made fries
I always eat my fries before my burger too because they taste best hot and crispy out the fryer. Nobody likes soggy cold fries.

The fact that manuka honey is antibacterial shows that we doctors use "natural" medicines too - although many of the medicines we use are derived or inspired by natural sources!
Preach!
but they only use them if they have been proven to work.
honey has very little water in it, so it when put on a wound it helps draw the water out, killing the bacteria.
its also quite acidic as well
and some types can also make form hydrogen peroxide, when diluted
apparently
many were inspired by indigenous communities and cultural knowledge that was made illegal or suppressed by colonialist powers.
Not a lot of doctors know that! Most medicines used in medical offices were derived from natural sources. Good on you for knowing!
All honey is antibacterial fyi, but manuka honey has shown to have even more antibacterial activity than regular honey.
You should have Matt Stonie on to talk about how competitive eaters actually eat normally. I’ve always wondered how people competitively eat in a “healthy” manner, and if it involves working out, a specific diet, something else, or even just a combination of any of those.
Matt has a whole video on that I think or if you google it I think Matt said what he does in some article
yesssssssss
A few pro eaters that I follow seem to have a healthy lifestyle outside of their extreme hobby/profession. Furious Pete, BeardMeatsFood, and Leah Shutkever all have very clean diets and exercise/workout regularly. When it comes time to do the challenge or competition (Pete doesn't compete anymore, and doesn't really do these challenges anymore either) they fast and restrict their diets leading up to it. The pro eaters that I follow don't have regular bad eating habits and that helps them stay relatively healthy. Obviously can't speak for all of them though.

I’m really thankful that you addressed how dangerous it is to make random promises. I have a nightmare disorder, and people always assume I just need to take melatonin or get more sunlight, as if I haven’t tried everything, including every random hack on the internet.
@Yashika Kolli "Nightmare disorder is referred to by doctors as a parasomnia - a type of sleep disorder that involves undesirable experiences that occur while you're falling asleep, during sleep or when you're waking up."
May I ask if you also tried to write a dream journal?
It can be very helpful to find out what's causing the nightmares and deal with them.
I don't even get dreams
I agree! I have insomnia so I get where your coming from.
I had something similar where I would have nightmares everyday but after 2 years it got better and now instead of only having 1 or 2 decent dreams a year I now get about 90-100 every year I still get more nightmares than good but it's improving so I'm happy.

Magnesium is metal. Magnesium helps start fires.
@eioshen boboi Lots of people positively benefit from taking magnesium. I've read many testimonies as well as experienced it myself just with small applications of transdermal magnesium, which is significantly more bioavailable than pills.

@@shadowscall7758 well, maybe after they woke up
😭😭😭 “can’t complain about itching if you’re not conscious” i’m done hsfdgjsh
I'm guessing what you were prescribed was an antihistamine. Histamine is naturally produced in the body and has two very different functions at the same time: it promotes itchiness in the skin and wakefulness in the brain. Antihistamines are drugs that antagonise the effects of histamine. So when you take an antihistamine to dampen down histamine function in the skin, some of this antihistamine ends up in the brain and has the unintended effect of causing drowsiness
It's pretty charming how this guy knows so much and comes in well prepared with medical facts and has well produced videos, but still has occasional bouts with bilingualism. More power Dr. Mike.

He's also a complete drama addict, as Coy Wickens said above. There are many excellent video essays documenting his terrible behavior you can watch here on UA-cam.
He’s a doctor and gives us information but also makes us laugh and smile
ok, so, mike can have a 6 day job at a hospital working 18 hours a day, balance a UA-cam channel and upload once(ish) a week, and find the time to work out twice a day AND be able to have time to go to boxing matches? sounds like a superhuman to me.

"Panther" is not a separate species. It is simply the genus name where these animals below are placed:
Lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards, and snow leopards. Calling any of these "panthers" would technically be correct according to their genus name, which is panthera. Cougars, cheetahs, lynx, domestic cat, etc. belong in the genus felindae; therefore, calling a cougar a panther is not correct.
I jUsT cAlL tHeM aLl “KaTs”
Canadians refer to that type of "kitty" as a mountain cat. That's our term for the cats where "we've moved too close to their territory so they're taking it back".
Very close, but not quite:
Cats (Felidae) are separated into two subfamilies: Pantherinae and Felinae.
The Pantherinae ("big cats") consist of the genera Neofelis (clouded leopards) and Panthera (the five true big cat species as you mentioned). All other cats are Felinae ("small cats"). But there's several genera within Felinae, for example: Felis (domestic cats and wild cats), Acinonyx (cheetah), Lynx (lynxes), Puma (cougar), Leopardus (ocelot, margay).
oh also when people say "panther" they are referring to melanistic (black) leopards or jaguars, but typically jaguars because the trait is recessive in leopards but dominant in jaguars
Cougars and pumas are the same thing tho, right?
i had codeine cough syrup once. it was the only cough medicine I've ever had that actually stopped me fully from coughing. I also wanted to keep going even after my cough was gone. I'll stick with honey.

But just a side note, tap water can be unhealthy depending on where you are. So do not always go for it, even if you're used to drinking tap water where you live.
Specially when traveling overseas.
There is this youtuber living here in Germany (we have very safe tap water which is even better than most mineral waters from the bottle) and is originally from vietnam. Once she visited her family and was so used to drinking tap water that her mother had to slap the cup out of her hand because they have to boil tap water first because it is so bad.

Your insomnia rant made me feel validated, I've suffered depression and Insomnia since I was a kid (seriously, no joke). My insomnia is currently getting worse, I think I need to buy a new bed this time though, so I am going to as soon as I can. it really does have me in tears many days, it's literally caused a chain reaction that ultimately made my mental and physical health suffer A LOT! These a-holes making promises like that with no actual evidence to back up their claims, with no regards to those they are negatively affecting with their false claims, they have no idea what this feels like. I also have Fibromyalgia (like actually spent the last ten years getting tested for everything, this diagnosis wasn't given lightly).
I hope you get relief. I also suffer. My heart is with you and anyone else who suffers from insomnia.
yeah me too i was depressed from 10 and i am still effing depressed
Fibro sucks and many of us suffer with depression, anxiety, insomnia etc too. Sending hugs.

I love how simple Dr. Mike makes health info! It's really not that complicated, there's just no shortcuts.
Also, as a biologist, I will hopefully help you feel better about your cat ID. Panther, cougar, puma, mountain lion, they are all correct!! They all refer to the same species. It's the big cat with the largest demographic range covering most of North, Central, AND South America so it's not surprising it has so many names :)
What? 😳 they’re all the same?
@@anniemayfield4589 yea
I google the difference between panther and cougar then ctrl+c ctrl+v
Difference Between Cougar and Panther
Cougar is always a defined and identified particular species, while a panther could be any of the big cats.
Cougar does not have a larynx and hyoid structures to produce horrifying roars, but panthers could produce roars.
Cougar is a new world species, while panther is both a new world and old world species.
You are correct! The common name panther comes from the genus name Panthera, which belongs to the true big cats which can roar, like Panthera leo and Panthera tigris (lions and tigers).
Confusion comes from common names just being how people describe what they are talking about. Most common names come from when we grouped animals based on their looks (morphology) rather than genetics/ancestry. Cougars do look pretty similar to lions, so it makes sense they ended up with a similar common name. Genetically, they are different enough that we gave them a different genus name, Puma. This is why we have the system for scientifically naming creatures, so we can discuss with accuracy, even across many languages. I love how many people are curious or interested! Hope this helps.
@@Natalie-it9ji that does help, also very interesting! thanks!

Dr. Oz in every article, every video “This thing will cure your belly fat!”

My Mum had a theory, for my older sister she sanitised EVERYTHING when she was a baby. By the time I was born, well let's just say it was clean but not hospital grade sanitised lol. My sister had a bunch of skin conditions and allergies, I had nothing, and she believes it was because for me everything wasn't sterile so my body was able to build immunities.
Hello 👋 Ailias, how are you enjoying your wonderful weather this morning?
Hello Ailias, I develop eczema and my mom cleaned everything hospital grade due to the risk of asthma. I did not developed asthma but my immune system is weakened. Doctors recommend clean environment for the children allowing the interaction with different potential allergic molecules (kids that grow up with pets are less likely to develop fur allergies). However, in the case of diseases like eczema, everything should be sterile because we lack defenses. So, it actually depends on the baby's health condition.
My parents didn’t do this and I had eczema pretty much from day one. Seems to be more a hereditary thing in my family. Didn’t get allergies till I was 21. Sometimes it just happens
You can look into hygiene theory, its very interesting. I also did a paper in school about food allergies and the time they were introduced into the kids diets. For some allergens, such as peanuts, the earlier you give it to your child, the less risk of allergy to peanuts. Its super interesting because parents have become really worried about peanut allergies so they often times wait to introduce those foods but we actually have seen rates of allergies increase. We want to protect our kids from everything but the reality is that is likely doing more harm.
It’s actually something that is being researched right now and there is much evidence to support it!
Your “evaporated” moment is me every day while teaching! 🤣 Hand movements and all!
Love this!! Especially when you talked about insomnia. I thought I had it, but I just took things and did things from what I read on the internet, from searching all over the place. None of them harmed me, but nothing worked. I finally talked to my doctor about it, and she prescribed me some medication to take when needed. It works great, but I only take it if I go to bed early enough. I have a problem getting to sleep. Once I'm asleep, I'm good. I stay up at night overthinking about everything, so that gives me anxiety and depression. I'm glad I have a doctor that cares, and I'm glad you care!! Thanks for giving us accurate information as always, and debunking these crazy videos!
2:24 tbh nikocado played us like a fiddle
Damn, I wish more doctors had this level of respect for patients. Dr. Mike gets defensive over lies about better sleep. I had a doctor promise they would remove my medical device b/c I am an adult and can make those choices.. he lied.. then left the office after giving me a medication that increased depressive thoughts. *thumbs up*
I gained 13kg within 3 months due to meds, I was always slim before that. My gynaecologist told me to do exercise and not reward myself with an apple afterwards. I changed to a different gynaecologist. Respect is so important.
Oh, and another doctor told me that my knee pain was because of those 13kg. Turns out I have arthritis.
Thank you for the clarification about pH. People need to hear that - especially ones in various "deacidification cults"! (It's a big thing in Europe, don't know in US - maybe wouldn't be a bad idea if you made a whole video on this topic (or have you already?))
And regarding eating raw meat: it's not only bacteria, it's also various parasites and toxins. Do you want trichine or fly larvae to eat their way to your brain and live there? (I know that with normal inspection done on the meat that is less possible, but it is still).
This video is the first time I've ever heard about people being concerned about the pH of their water. There are several reasons why you might want to filter your tap water, to make it safer to drink, (especially in certain countries,) but the pH thing feels pretty silly.
Also thank you for the alkaline water rant.
Once had a coworker tell me I could cure acid reflux by drinking water with lemon juice in it, because it would make my body alkaline. The fact that we were at WORK and the boss was right there (and a big fan of pseudo-woo himself) was the only reason she didn't get schooled.
In a way she was right. A small amount of lemon juice in warm water can be alkalize when digested
I've heard that about pickle juice but I don't think I ever bought it. I love lemon water but only because it tastes good. I got even more into it when I was pregnant because it helped with nausea for some reason and asked for a bunch of lemon slices in my water at a restaurant. The waitress (who was also pregnant) nodded understandingly and brought me a whole plate of them LOL.
human intelligence always blows my mind
Also thanj you for the alkaline water rant.

If there's one thing I've learned on this wretched planet, its that social media health guru's, are either 'full of it', or they tell us what our mothers taught us years ago. Except Doctor Mike here. He's cool.
I really appreciate the disdain for alkaline water. I use to work in a chiropractic office, and one thing he sold was giant glass jugs of alkaline water. And it was expensive. I couldn't understand WHY people would by this water, when they have much cheaper water at home.
My mom was convinced for a while that alkaline water was the only water that wouldn’t make her sick as she recently went into stage 4 kidney failure. Don’t know what happened to change her mind about that but now she’s completely changed her diet and on an all doctors are trying to kill me kick
I would never buy super fancy alkaline water that's supposed to cure EVERYTHING that ails you, but we DO buy bottled water. The pipes aren't great in our house, and the tap water is hard anyway. We don't drink it. I CAN'T drink it, it literally nauseates me.
@@Felicat82 same here - water is supposed to be a colourless, flavourless, odourless liquid. What comes out of my taps is brown, disgusting tasting, stinky and lumpy.

I'm glad you brought up Manuka honey, because my mother, who passed away seven years ago, had been in a wheelchair and bed bound before her passing, and had several bed sores. The doctor prescribed her Manuka honey, and it helped a lot. She even got a course of maggots at one point, to help the wound heal.

Well i didn't mind it, i actually really like honeycomb, yeah it takes about 30 minutes to chew sometimes but in normal quantities i think it's the perfect whole food dessert.
For real. I don't understand ASMR. It never sounds good, I just get ticked off and yell "close your goddamn mouth while chewing you pig!"
@@loganwolv3393 my cringe didn't come from the amount of honey, but the sound. It sounded so disgusting to me.
@@loganwolv3393 While I admit that honey grosses me out personally, what actually broke me was definitely the sound. It went from just being "ew" to actual serious shivers. One of the worst sounds I've heard.
@@EskChan19 most ASMR isn't food though, like I don't watch anything that is related to that, but it's just anything that triggers that response that ASMR actually refers to and that can really be anything for different people. Like the first time I remember feeling it was that many years old recording demonstrating binaural microphones in a barbershop roleplay where he comes and whispers what sounds like right inside your ears. I didn't really like that honey clip too much myself either.
