I recently just got diagnosed with adhd at 27 years old. The diagnosis was previously misdiagnosed as depression/bipolar disorder and struggled my whole life being force fed SSRI medication. My world was rocked when I was told "nah, you just have adhd and anxiety". Listening to Jeremy talk about adhd so openly has been so helpful, I feel so heard
I have birthed two little humans and I’ve realized that I prefer male doctors and nurse to females when it comes to my girly bits BECAUSE women nurses and doctors are rough! They’ve probably birthed before and they are like “I survived this, so you can survive this” kind of attitude. Whereas men as SO gentle! And check so often on if you’re ok! It’s something they’ll never fully understand and so they kinda assume it’s horrific. So when you do decide to birth a human, I strongly suggest you go with a male doctor!
I’m 28 and it’s been 9 months on a waitlist with an organisation for an ADHD assessment and that was the quicker route than a 2-3 year wait on the NHS. I always assumed I couldn’t have adhd as no one picked it up when I was at school but didn’t know about the masking in women. I have anxiety and depression and have been on antidepressants for 10 years but have no idea if that’s alongside or caused by potential adhd but I know medications are different in the UK (no adderall here I don’t believe) but there’s shortages here too so who knows how that will go. It’s really great hearing from Jeremy’s perspective on adhd and Lauren’s on the SSRI/SNRI side and knowing it’s complicated for everyone else too so thank you so much for sharing. 💜
My male OBGYN is incredible and empathetic especially when it comes to my endometriosis. And my endometriosis surgeon was the leading specialist in the fibroid and endo removal. Both of them have been incredible. Have hated a lot of the women because of their lack of empathy actually
Jeremy my psychiatrist specializes in neurochemistry balance prior to prescribing stimulants. I did tests for vitamin deficiencies, cranial pressure, etc. prior to getting adhd meds and it changed my life. We stabilized my baseline and were left with my actual ADHD symptoms, not just symptoms made worse by deficiencies.
I have the kindest male OBGYN and I would never give him up he talks about Disney with me while looking at my girly bits because he knows my anxiety is awful at the doctors and he’s an AP holder HOWEVER that man sucks at inserting IUDs and missed idk how that happened but it did that’s the only thing I’d change If he was about 30 years younger I’d be uncomfy
I think you got the bear question wrong, it’s about if you were alone in the woods on a hike would you rather come across a bear or a man, not like a forest survivalist thing
Interestingly enough the female gynos I’ve seen were more callous than the male gynos I’ve seen. I had a male OB when I had my son and he was like in his 40s and he was awesome. Men’s ability to compartmentalize is baffling. He was empathetic and straight shooting with my concerns were the female doctors were like get over it it’s fine.
Regarding female / male OBGYN topic: I was against having a male OBGYN because I thought a female will know more or be more comfortable BUT once I was pregnant, I chose a male OBGYN and I have no regrets. Past female OBGYN, I had bad experiences with. For some reason.. they talk to you like they’re lecturing and judging you. They’re rough because they think we can handle a Pap smear because they know the vagina… and many other reasons My male OBGYN they’re more gentle because they know it’s a super sensitive area. They double check if you’re ok and make sure you’re comfortable and always go the extra mile because they know the female body is our temple.
Came here to say this!! My male OBGYN is so empathetic and does go the extra mile to make sure I feel safe and comfortable in his office. I think the fact that they have never experienced something like period cramps or IUD insertion is something that can make them more empathetic to women. Whenever I have had a woman OBGYN I have felt judged and talked down to in a way that I did not like. Also not for nothing, my grandfather is 91 and has been a practicing OBGYN (stopped the OB part over 20 years ago but still sees patients as a GYN) for 67 years and he still has so many patients that will only come to him and beg him not to retire because he is the best doctor they have ever had. (Also just for information, he is not my OBGYN. I think that would be crossing a weird line lol) I also don’t think that male OBGYN’s have a hard time separating their work from home. I do see how it would be weird for some people but I am team male OBGYN for life as of right now lol.
I was diagnosed was ADHD/ADD in 1st grade, and was medicated up until high school. Sense then I have tried to get back on meds, but instead my psychiatrist put me on a medication called Topamax which works in many ways- it helps with migraines, adhd, and the depression. I also did a genetic test called a genesight test which basically looks to see what medications your liver metabolizes faster. The faster it matabolizes the more likely it is to not work.
Guys I’m a med student and I just want you to know that I’m literally so frustrated I can’t answer all your medical questions as you all are trying to reason your way through them 😭. I’m begging you, please become friends with a doctor so you can just phone a friend LMAO
I have a male OBGYN and when I tell you I’ve see every woman OB in my town and all of them act like the pain that I was feeling during my pregnancy was nonchalant and didn’t do anything but the guy I have now is SOOOO understanding and figured out what it was within one appointment
I’m a lesbian who quite LITERALLY hates men. Every Dr I have even my gyno is a straight male but specifically my gyno he is extremely understanding and fixed my problem without birth control or surgery. I understand the struggle but just like therapy you gotta find the right one for you. Edit: Sho’s story is almost exactly like this. My female doctor was not warm or welcome so I found one that was.
My obgyn was a 27 year old man... he was phenomenal... I was uneasy... but had no choice... he told me he didn't understand what I was physically dealing with so he took me VERY seriously... he also legally ALWAYS had to have a female in the room during any physical examination...
I have ADHD and currently 6 months pregnant. I had to quit taking adderall, cold turkey, don’t recommend. Currently not doing anything else.. but obviously my situation is different because I can’t really do much else
Hi !! I’ve shortly studied in biology and psychology and plainly put, for most medication that have effects related to hormones ( inhibitors or stimulants), when u start those, especially if you start young, your hormones receptors in you body, specifically in your nervous system, kinda get fucked up and get used to these new hormones level. So when you get off your body won’t go back to how it was before because those receptors had to adapt to an “overflow”, and they can’t go back to the “normal” quantity. A bit like if a filter that has been used to filter sand would now need to filter water, it won’t work as well. Anyway, that’s why some practitioners say “if you get on it you can’t get off” ! Hope this helped !
Omgomgomg I’m a microbiology doctorate student and I looooooove talking about the complexity of human physiology! Medications affect every person differently not only because of different neurology, like what Lauren mentions, but because of the varying diets/lifestyles which can lead to differing microbiota inhabiting the body 🥹
Okay! I am on a low dose stimulant and it helped so MUCH more than the high dose and on days I don’t HAVE to be overly focused and such I can skip it without the withdrawals. It is really common for doctors to say you can’t stop meds - it’s because it’s changed the chemistry and it can be dangerous. However, my sister never felt like stimulants work and she takes a non stimulant adhd medicine! I don’t know the name but apparently it’s more common for them to give non stimulants to women for idk why but, she is on a non stimulant medicine and it helps her more!
24:06 I think sometimes maybe during medical training in the hospital some men switch their specialty to OBGYN based on different cases they have been a part of, or based on how well they get along with the attending doctors and I feel like there are other things that go into choosing a specialty, though I absolutely understand as someone with female health issues that there is a type of empathy that can not be learned in a text book.
i always got dismissed by a female obgyn when i talked about period pain and cramp. she said it was normal and every girl has it. fast foward to my old man obgyn, it was a chocolate cyst in my ovary and 2 myoma in my uterus. yes there are nice female obgyn, but most of them are not. feel entitled bcs they think they have experience the stuff themselves at some point and think we’re just acting out.
My friend and I had a recent conversation about how alot of male doctors can be very dismissive towards woman and their health, we've both had different encounters where our doctors have dismissed our health concerns and automatically said it was just stress, our two appointments were completely different things. Mine was an request for an referral to get assessed for ADHD (spoiler alert I have adhd) and he basically said no its just stress cause of my age (I was 19, I'm now 27), my best friend went for an appointment after finding our she had a hormone imbalance due to low cortisol levels and went to find out what medication she needed, and what can be done to sort this out. Her male doctor just told her her symptoms are just due to stress...the stress is due to her low cortisol which was confirmed by a female doctor. She now requested a female doctor and is getting stuff sorted, I eventually got my referral due to my female doctor listening. I forgot to mention me and my friend live in different countries so it's a world wide problem with male doctors being sexist.
As a disabled woman I’ve always preferred women gynecologist because there’s no sugarcoating and especially my female gyno nurses make me feel so comfortable.
You guys are so right about the ginger thing. Im a ginger and got my wisdom teeth taken out last year (first time I ever went under) lowkey woke up in the middle of the surgery
my entire life until 5 years ago i lived in a town of 1000 people so my family doctor was also my gyno and he was a 50 year old man that always talked to his assistant about camping EVERYTIME 😂
with the bear/man thing- saw this on another podcast on why we choose the bear: we can trust a bear to be a bear but we can’t trust a human man to be humane
Jeremy, you can absolutely go off of stimulants and I’ve had more doctors try to talk me out of taking adderall than the other way around. But you’re right, unmedicated adhd has a higher incidence of addiction and a shorter lifespan. Anything that regulates dopamine might be worth exploring, since adhd brains don’t process dopamine correctly or sometimes at all lol
You definitely can get on stimulant medications (you’ll have side effects depending on your dosage/how long you’ve been on the meds). BUT you’ll have the adhd symptoms come back lol. As an adult, I stopped taking it for a while and now only do during busy work periods but a lot of psychiatrists now I feel definitely discourage using stimulants more than you need to
Yesss SNRI’s work so much better for me than SSRI’s. I was the most depressed I’ve ever been on a SSRI that I was taking for anxiety. I swear I’m on more meds now because of it
Regarding Jeremy’s poll: My psychiatrist also doesn’t have a plan to take me off of my stimulant. I have basically been told that there is no scientific evidence that it is harmful long term when I asked if it was potentially harmful to take this endlessly until I die essentially. But he didn’t seem like there was any reason to stop the meds if they are helping and not causing any dramatic side effects.
Jeremy should really look into occupational therapists and occupational therapy to help manage his ADHD. Occupational therapists work from a more holistic stance, not just medication, and work with the patient to use their interests and lifestyle to better manage ADHD symptoms.
I put in my dating profile that I prefer men under 6 ft because I’m too short to be on my tippy toes to simply give them a kiss! I’ve dated a man who was 6’9 respectively to see if I was wrong, and I wasn’t wrong one bit (for myself! For others, congrats on being able to manage it🥂)
I feel like it also just real depends on the doctor. There have been terrible female gynecologists that are actually more dimissive of women's healthcare. When I lived in Japan I had a male gynecologist and he was extremely kind and respectful. But of course overall I am overall "afraid" of men in general 🙃
I actually think a guy with a shirt/jacket/hoodie tied around his waste is hot! But I’m also bi and associate with an alt vibe like doc martens, chains, or distressed clothes
I felt that same when about male ongyn when I was pregnant with my son my ob was a female but she was very insensitive and didn’t listen when I would tell her things and when I went into labor the ob on call was a male and he was hands down the best he was very kind and sweet and listened to EVERYTHING and as a women in labor I had a lot to say and ask
My gynecologist is a man but I'm very confortable with it because he is old, and he is very shy, calm and gentle. He actually seems like he is the one uncomfortable with the situation every time. What is very funny to me though is that his secretary is actually his wife! And I find that to be so weird and funny at the same time 😅 Personnaly I prefer it to be a man because I think if they don't know what we feel they might be more gentle and listen better, whereas a woman who knows the pain etc but maybe has light pain might not be as understanding 🤷♀️
I had a woman obgyn when i was pregnant and I HATED her! She was rude and cold, but when i went in to labor she was away and the on call dr was a male and he was amazing but I would still rather a female
so i was in phycology last semester and my teacher actually told us that she has a friend that has kids with ADHD and she gives them a shot of black coffee in the morning to naturally calm them down bc caffeine has the opposite affect on ADHD
I’m halfway through and I have thoughts but I will only share some. Headlines: male gyno, tech shit. Firstly I’ve heard that typically male gynos are more sympathetic than female gynos. I am referring to cis males and cis females here, I haven’t heard stats that explicitly refer to trans gynos of any gender. I also think you should try to get MamaDoctorJones on your podcast, she is fascinating (but she does live in New Zealand). Secondly, Jeremy, can there be a tab in the discord to discuss tech shit because I want to know how you’re doing what you’re doing with blocking ads SO MUCH. I am so curious about what workarounds you are using, please share at least where I might start looking! Much love to Diggo and Moose.
I have the kindest male obgyn but the only reason i automatically trusted him was because he was the same doctor who my mom and granny used and was recommended by my papa who was a doctor for 25 years. I dunno if I'll have a male obgyn again once I move though.
So many things😅 the only female OB/GYN I have ever liked was the one who did my tubal ligation. I would love to have my son, fiancé, and I to have that blood test cause I’d love to see what meds we should be on… my son has been on Focalin since November and when we had a shortage Ritalin did nothing. But the days he doesn’t take his meds he REALLY struggles more then before
Usually would decide further own in your medical studies. You usually specialize during residency and depends on where you match. Also prefer male obgyns. In my experience women have been less understanding and rude. My male doctors have been championed my decisions and safety.
Pharmacy Tech since 2005 here for some alternative non-stimulant ADD medication Jeremy 💊 Qelbree, Strattera, Intuniv, Clonidine ER. Maybe to wean off the stimulants and try non-stimulant medication
On the topic of why men choose to become OBGYNs, I don’t think it’s as weird as we may think. Like if you were really good at a that part of med school, why wouldn’t you choose it as your profession? Maybe it’s just the medical practice that makes the most sense to them so they feel like they will do their best work there. Plus they get to help deliver babies. Maybe they love the part about bringing life into the world. Idk, I understand why people think it’s weird and I personally have a female OB that I chose for the same reasons that Lauren said but I don’t think it’s that deep/creepy that men want to be OBs too.
Honest the worst thing ever to be asked after being married! Like calm down Susan we will have babies when it’s time! People can be so invasive and just wanting babies for their own pleasure not understanding that umm maybe u wanna me married for a few years which is totally cool I got harassed for 7 years and even told I am the issue when in reality I just wasn’t wanting to be a mom yet now 12 years in and I have 2 boys a 3 y and 7 m best advice I can say unsolicited lol waiting is the best so u can know ur partner and just become more in tune as a married couple ❤ when ever u guys r ready have babies
Med students don’t choose their specialty until the end of their 3rd year in med school. So definitely not 19 when choosing that specialty, more like 25-27 range on average. Also, maybe they picked the specialty because they found it most interesting and not because it involves only vaginas or for any other reason…come on we’re stereotyping with saying they’re only interested because ‘vagina.’ I’ve heard the horror stories about female obgyn’s and I’ve experienced it as well, my male obgyn is wayyyy more empathetic towards me. I think he listens to my pain or my concerns with intent to help me, she more so compared it to hers and said I’m fine every time I had one sooooo that was traumatic. And yes, I had that same experience with like 3-4 different female obgyn’s until I met my now (male) obgyn.
I mean this in the NICEST way possible but that’s how we as viewers feel when UA-camrs (not you, specifically but others) have so so many ads in their vlogs, not fun!
So many things. A) yes, Dr who takes care of Men is a urologist B) sometimes, male obgyns can be better because most of the guys that go into Obgyn are more sensitive than average male Drs. Also, some female obgyns are very "I've been through this your fine" which sucks. C) to explain the "ease of pickleball" I say - playing singles PB, the court is slightly smaller than half a tennis court (like playing doubles tennis). So doubles PB is even easier than that. Haha D) there are non stimulant medications for ADHD but depending on your insurance you have to prove stimulants don't work before they will cover non stimulants. But there are a lot of therapy treatments that help, but again, that's muscling your way through a problem that you could have assistance with medication (if that makes any sense).
Personally never had a single positive interaction with female ob. Went through 4 in 4 years and all of them were so rude and mean ans never listened. And now that i have a male obgyn I feel so much better and feel seen and heard. Also ob is in his 40s so kinda young but doesnt feel weird at all.
Is anyone else having issues with the Wild Til 9 Sweater orders? I ordered mine last December and haven't received it. I've contacted Fanjoy and every reply they tell me I will receive it by the next month and it's been 5 months now!
Jeremy, how can there not be a non-stimulant ADHD medication option? I am floored. Find it and tell everyone about it. How stupid is that! In this day and age? OMG!
if you do the not interested on live videos. you can chose to block all lives. I don’t get ads or lives you just have to immediately scroll away enough times and they will go away
Seconding the comments that most peoples consensus is if you're alone in the woods would you rather run into a random bear or a random man. And a lot of womens first thought was did he follow me, the bear lives here, the man doesn't. And if the man is a good man, obviously that would be safer, but the worst case scenario where it's a really bad man, the worst the bear can do is kill you, because it's hungry or threatened. So bottom line for a lot of women is death at the hands of a bear is better than at the hands of a potentially bad man. Then a lot of polarizing replies to defend why bear started getting popular, like, no one would accuse you of liking a bear attack, no one would ask if you were actually attacked, the bear won't tie you in a basement, etc. But I LOVE that here on WT9 we went with i think i could befriend the bear but i might need help bc directions? Couldn't be me, moving on 😂😂❤
Hell no ! To the male ob/gyn . I want someone who has most likely experienced painful cramps I want someone who bleeds monthly or at one point has bleed monthly . I need to feel like you don’t think I’m insane because I say I’m in immense pain .
I absolutely would never go to a male OBGYN. PCP, sure (although I'd rather not)...even a GI doctor, allergist, or other specialists, sure. But OBGYN? Absolutely not. Editing my comment after reading some other comments. Very interesting that women have typically found male OBGYNs to be more empathetic! I think maybe I've just lucked out with my gynecologist because she's awesome. However, I started going to her at like 18...she was my first and only OBGYN so maybe if I were to need to search for another one (I'm dreading the day), I'd have trouble finding another woman I liked. I do think I'd still be more comfortable with a woman, but if I couldn't find a good one, I suppose I'd rather have a good guy doctor than a bad woman one just because she's a woman 🤷♀️
“Every fcking day east to west!!!” Jeremy got so heated when Lauren said she has no survival skills and Jeremy gave her one and she couldn’t accept it😂🙈😭🫶

With the bear/man situation, at least the bear is meant to be in the woods! Typically they do not attack unless provoked (depending on the species)
The semester ends and now at 10 AM I immediately watch the new podcast
I have birthed two little humans and I’ve realized that I prefer male doctors and nurse to females when it comes to my girly bits BECAUSE women nurses and doctors are rough! They’ve probably birthed before and they are like “I survived this, so you can survive this” kind of attitude. Whereas men as SO gentle! And check so often on if you’re ok! It’s something they’ll never fully understand and so they kinda assume it’s horrific. So when you do decide to birth a human, I strongly suggest you go with a male doctor!
100% agree when I had my daughter the female nurses were more rough and the dr was more gentle.
I also Prefer Men doing my Pap smears and checking my lady bits! Never had kids. But with females they are definitely more Rough!

I’m 28 and it’s been 9 months on a waitlist with an organisation for an ADHD assessment and that was the quicker route than a 2-3 year wait on the NHS.

I forgot to mention me and my friend live in different countries so it's a world wide problem with male doctors being sexist.
It depends on the type of bear. Many bears don't wanna fight and if you take the right steps they'll leave you alone
Lauren was talking about Pharmacogenetic Tests
My grandad was called Jeremy. He was a wonderful man.
As a disabled woman I’ve always preferred women gynecologist because there’s no sugarcoating and especially my female gyno nurses make me feel so comfortable.
You guys are so right about the ginger thing. Im a ginger and got my wisdom teeth taken out last year (first time I ever went under) lowkey woke up in the middle of the surgery
my entire life until 5 years ago i lived in a town of 1000 people so my family doctor was also my gyno and he was a 50 year old man that always talked to his assistant about camping EVERYTIME 😂
with the bear/man thing- saw this on another podcast on why we choose the bear:
we can trust a bear to be a bear but we can’t trust a human man to be humane
Sorry but some of these icks are really childish ... wtf do I care about if some dude wears a bag or ties his jacket around his waist??
😅
Jeremy, you can absolutely go off of stimulants and I’ve had more doctors try to talk me out of taking adderall than the other way around. But you’re right, unmedicated adhd has a higher incidence of addiction and a shorter lifespan.
Anything that regulates dopamine might be worth exploring, since adhd brains don’t process dopamine correctly or sometimes at all lol
Not me actively taking progress pics for weight loss while listening to 56:27 haha 🤣
Jeremy did not get enough credit for the “lack thereof” dad joke 😂😂😂😂😂😂 fatherless squad RISE!!
You definitely can get on stimulant medications (you’ll have side effects depending on your dosage/how long you’ve been on the meds). BUT you’ll have the adhd symptoms come back lol. As an adult, I stopped taking it for a while and now only do during busy work periods but a lot of psychiatrists now I feel definitely discourage using stimulants more than you need to
Yesss SNRI’s work so much better for me than SSRI’s. I was the most depressed I’ve ever been on a SSRI that I was taking for anxiety. I swear I’m on more meds now because of it
hooked on phonics ✨ core memory unlocked ✨
Regarding Jeremy’s poll:
My psychiatrist also doesn’t have a plan to take me off of my stimulant. I have basically been told that there is no scientific evidence that it is harmful long term when I asked if it was potentially harmful to take this endlessly until I die essentially. But he didn’t seem like there was any reason to stop the meds if they are helping and not causing any dramatic side effects.
Jeremy should really look into occupational therapists and occupational therapy to help manage his ADHD. Occupational therapists work from a more holistic stance, not just medication, and work with the patient to use their interests and lifestyle to better manage ADHD symptoms.
The second you get married everyone wants to know about babies. We tell people 5 years at least (it’ll probably be less… but they don’t need to know!)
I put in my dating profile that I prefer men under 6 ft because I’m too short to be on my tippy toes to simply give them a kiss! I’ve dated a man who was 6’9 respectively to see if I was wrong, and I wasn’t wrong one bit (for myself! For others, congrats on being able to manage it🥂)
I feel like it also just real depends on the doctor. There have been terrible female gynecologists that are actually more dimissive of women's healthcare. When I lived in Japan I had a male gynecologist and he was extremely kind and respectful. But of course overall I am overall "afraid" of men in general 🙃
Also, that’s why depression has such a high comorbidity with adhd - our brains don’t process happy chemicals correctly 🤪 lol
I actually think a guy with a shirt/jacket/hoodie tied around his waste is hot! But I’m also bi and associate with an alt vibe like doc martens, chains, or distressed clothes
ahhhh just what i needed!!!! a new episode 😊😊😊
I felt that same when about male ongyn when I was pregnant with my son my ob was a female but she was very insensitive and didn’t listen when I would tell her things and when I went into labor the ob on call was a male and he was hands down the best he was very kind and sweet and listened to EVERYTHING and as a women in labor I had a lot to say and ask
My gynecologist is a man but I'm very confortable with it because he is old, and he is very shy, calm and gentle. He actually seems like he is the one uncomfortable with the situation every time. What is very funny to me though is that his secretary is actually his wife! And I find that to be so weird and funny at the same time 😅
Personnaly I prefer it to be a man because I think if they don't know what we feel they might be more gentle and listen better, whereas a woman who knows the pain etc but maybe has light pain might not be as understanding 🤷♀️
Im too early i cant scroll through the comments
I had a woman obgyn when i was pregnant and I HATED her! She was rude and cold, but when i went in to labor she was away and the on call dr was a male and he was amazing but I would still rather a female
Petition to have Brooke and Fibula back on the pod for another episode!!!!!
I was late diagnosed with ADHD and also ASD and there has been no meds that have works for me
so i was in phycology last semester and my teacher actually told us that she has a friend that has kids with ADHD and she gives them a shot of black coffee in the morning to naturally calm them down bc caffeine has the opposite affect on ADHD
I’m halfway through and I have thoughts but I will only share some. Headlines: male gyno, tech shit.
Firstly I’ve heard that typically male gynos are more sympathetic than female gynos. I am referring to cis males and cis females here, I haven’t heard stats that explicitly refer to trans gynos of any gender. I also think you should try to get MamaDoctorJones on your podcast, she is fascinating (but she does live in New Zealand).
Secondly, Jeremy, can there be a tab in the discord to discuss tech shit because I want to know how you’re doing what you’re doing with blocking ads SO MUCH. I am so curious about what workarounds you are using, please share at least where I might start looking!
Much love to Diggo and Moose.
That planet of the apes movie is literally the type of “horror” movie I will never be able to watch, I think it’s absolutely terrifying
the speed i clicked on this after reading the title! Y ARE MEN LIKE THIS!!!😩😩😩
I have the kindest male obgyn but the only reason i automatically trusted him was because he was the same doctor who my mom and granny used and was recommended by my papa who was a doctor for 25 years. I dunno if I'll have a male obgyn again once I move though.
My male OBGYN always has a female nurse in the room for any exams though so that also makes me more comfortable 😊
So many things😅 the only female OB/GYN I have ever liked was the one who did my tubal ligation. I would love to have my son, fiancé, and I to have that blood test cause I’d love to see what meds we should be on… my son has been on Focalin since November and when we had a shortage Ritalin did nothing. But the days he doesn’t take his meds he REALLY struggles more then before
i'm a redhead and didn't kno tht abt medication
for adhd supplements that aren't stimulants, i'd look into omega-3s formulated for adhd symptoms! also sent a dm, hope it helps!
Usually would decide further own in your medical studies. You usually specialize during residency and depends on where you match.
Also prefer male obgyns. In my experience women have been less understanding and rude. My male doctors have been championed my decisions and safety.
i cut all of my food before i take a bite bc i dont wanna stop eating to cut another piece its annoying and i hate it lol
Pharmacy Tech since 2005 here for some alternative non-stimulant ADD medication Jeremy 💊 Qelbree, Strattera, Intuniv, Clonidine ER. Maybe to wean off the stimulants and try non-stimulant medication
I like my chances being able to out run a man than a bear. Also my toxic trait is I think I could talk someone out of murdering me.
My own diy mole map…white boi 😂
I am British and I was sporty in school. Never heard of pickle ball. 35:46
What was the name of the genetic blood test that narrowed down what medications would work best? I would definitely benefit from that
On the topic of why men choose to become OBGYNs, I don’t think it’s as weird as we may think. Like if you were really good at a that part of med school, why wouldn’t you choose it as your profession? Maybe it’s just the medical practice that makes the most sense to them so they feel like they will do their best work there. Plus they get to help deliver babies. Maybe they love the part about bringing life into the world. Idk, I understand why people think it’s weird and I personally have a female OB that I chose for the same reasons that Lauren said but I don’t think it’s that deep/creepy that men want to be OBs too.
I would be so interested to listen to you guys talk to a male obgyn about how he chose that!
Honest the worst thing ever to be asked after being married! Like calm down Susan we will have babies when it’s time! People can be so invasive and just wanting babies for their own pleasure not understanding that umm maybe u wanna me married for a few years which is totally cool I got harassed for 7 years and even told I am the issue when in reality I just wasn’t wanting to be a mom yet now 12 years in and I have 2 boys a 3 y and 7 m best advice I can say unsolicited lol waiting is the best so u can know ur partner and just become more in tune as a married couple ❤ when ever u guys r ready have babies
Med students don’t choose their specialty until the end of their 3rd year in med school. So definitely not 19 when choosing that specialty, more like 25-27 range on average. Also, maybe they picked the specialty because they found it most interesting and not because it involves only vaginas or for any other reason…come on we’re stereotyping with saying they’re only interested because ‘vagina.’ I’ve heard the horror stories about female obgyn’s and I’ve experienced it as well, my male obgyn is wayyyy more empathetic towards me. I think he listens to my pain or my concerns with intent to help me, she more so compared it to hers and said I’m fine every time I had one sooooo that was traumatic. And yes, I had that same experience with like 3-4 different female obgyn’s until I met my now (male) obgyn.
I mean this in the NICEST way possible but that’s how we as viewers feel when UA-camrs (not you, specifically but others) have so so many ads in their vlogs, not fun!
So many things.
A) yes, Dr who takes care of Men is a urologist
B) sometimes, male obgyns can be better because most of the guys that go into Obgyn are more sensitive than average male Drs. Also, some female obgyns are very "I've been through this your fine" which sucks.
C) to explain the "ease of pickleball" I say - playing singles PB, the court is slightly smaller than half a tennis court (like playing doubles tennis). So doubles PB is even easier than that. Haha
D) there are non stimulant medications for ADHD but depending on your insurance you have to prove stimulants don't work before they will cover non stimulants. But there are a lot of therapy treatments that help, but again, that's muscling your way through a problem that you could have assistance with medication (if that makes any sense).
Personally never had a single positive interaction with female ob. Went through 4 in 4 years and all of them were so rude and mean ans never listened. And now that i have a male obgyn I feel so much better and feel seen and heard. Also ob is in his 40s so kinda young but doesnt feel weird at all.
Is anyone else having issues with the Wild Til 9 Sweater orders? I ordered mine last December and haven't received it. I've contacted Fanjoy and every reply they tell me I will receive it by the next month and it's been 5 months now!
Love you guys but can you guys talk about the title for a longer time instead of towards the end of the pod😬
Jeremy, how can there not be a non-stimulant ADHD medication option? I am floored. Find it and tell everyone about it. How stupid is that! In this day and age? OMG!
I need you to put timed comments on.
if you do the not interested on live videos. you can chose to block all lives. I don’t get ads or lives you just have to immediately scroll away enough times and they will go away
wait - am i the only one who thought jeremy was still unemployed 😭? does he have a job now
38:43 can we have an ADHD tab in the discord?
Seconding the comments that most peoples consensus is if you're alone in the woods would you rather run into a random bear or a random man. And a lot of womens first thought was did he follow me, the bear lives here, the man doesn't. And if the man is a good man, obviously that would be safer, but the worst case scenario where it's a really bad man, the worst the bear can do is kill you, because it's hungry or threatened. So bottom line for a lot of women is death at the hands of a bear is better than at the hands of a potentially bad man. Then a lot of polarizing replies to defend why bear started getting popular, like, no one would accuse you of liking a bear attack, no one would ask if you were actually attacked, the bear won't tie you in a basement, etc. But I LOVE that here on WT9 we went with i think i could befriend the bear but i might need help bc directions? Couldn't be me, moving on 😂😂❤
Hamtaro!
Hell no ! To the male ob/gyn . I want someone who has most likely experienced painful cramps I want someone who bleeds monthly or at one point has bleed monthly . I need to feel like you don’t think I’m insane because I say I’m in immense pain .
drown 🤣
I absolutely would never go to a male OBGYN. PCP, sure (although I'd rather not)...even a GI doctor, allergist, or other specialists, sure. But OBGYN? Absolutely not.
Editing my comment after reading some other comments. Very interesting that women have typically found male OBGYNs to be more empathetic! I think maybe I've just lucked out with my gynecologist because she's awesome. However, I started going to her at like 18...she was my first and only OBGYN so maybe if I were to need to search for another one (I'm dreading the day), I'd have trouble finding another woman I liked. I do think I'd still be more comfortable with a woman, but if I couldn't find a good one, I suppose I'd rather have a good guy doctor than a bad woman one just because she's a woman 🤷♀️
D
First
me only looking at the wire sticking out of Jeremy’s neck for an hour and 16 minutes 🧍♀️
“Every fcking day east to west!!!” Jeremy got so heated when Lauren said she has no survival skills and Jeremy gave her one and she couldn’t accept it😂🙈😭🫶
