Thank you doctor ❤❤👏👏

2:44 the smile.. Good one doc 🙌🏼
Glad you liked the video tho😂😏
This is a great insight dr, i’ve been through this when i first moved to the UAE and it’s actually a hard experience. Trying to surround myself with positive people, and speaking about it is a great way to make it easier, It just takes time. I wish everyone who goes through this is okay and have the right support. Thanks for bringing this up. It takes courage to speaking about this
glad you got over it, not everyone can do this. talking about this takes a lot. i've recorded many video before but never posted them, i think i wasn't ready at the time. you have to be on the safe side to speak about such things.
just to be clear, this video is NOT ONLY about me, it's about a whole generation of young adults who're going through this. if i haven't seen this happening all around the world and with my best friends, i wouldn't have recorded this video. also, this video does NOT mean i'm going to k*ll myself or commit s*uic*de, i'm okay, but not everyone. this is just a reminder for everyone that you're not alone and you're going to power through this no matter what your age is or where you are. wish you all a happy and healthy life.
Great video, great insight as well.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Brett is one of the only conservative personalities I like anymore, I think even if you don’t always agree with her, she’s at least entertaining. (Even though I don’t watch her that often. Don’t actually know much about what she’s up too now.) I do think the fear mongering around every chemical being bad gets on my nerves. Not saying that’s what she always promotes, but I am saying it’s an idea that’s becoming more prevalent. I think it’s important to be skeptical of companies, it’s not exactly surprising that they wouldn’t care if they’re poisoning us. Look at ingredients, let’s hold them accountable, find better options. However I am so tired of the “natural = better” thinking infecting everything. I GET why people are skeptical of science and medicine and the pharmaceutical industry these days. That doesn’t mean that every trace chemical is going to kill us. I do think the study she was talking about had some things to be concerned about. If we find the bad, we should get rid of it. But her implying that every tampon or pad a woman uses is going to make them infertile I think might cause more problems than not.
Even if you try to hold them accountable and found a solution, nothing will change. Sadly, None of us can do anything other than choose not to take a medicine or consume a certain product. And no, natural doesn’t equal better.. at least not all the time (speaking about medicine)
I’ve realized how damaging birth control is after having a really bad reaction to particular brand. It put me off all oral BC. Luckily, I was not sexually active until I met my husband. We use rhythm, coitus interruptus, and lamb skin condoms. Very dependable methods that have demonized by the medical industry and feminists.
I was also put on birth control like it was nothing to regulate my period when I was 14. Diet and exercise weren’t even discussed and most likely would have evened me out. I think we have normalized doctors just jumping to BC. That’s not good.
I’m sorry you had to go through that.. that’s the problem with payed doctors, it’s good that people are realizing how damaging Birth Control Pills are. Better late than never.
The thing is, you're officially a doctor, and that honestly makes me trust your opinion LESS at this point.
It’s actually right not to trust one medical opinion, specially if they’re forcing some medicine that you’re not getting any benefit from or have severe side effects :)
How about my girls who don’t know what is normal because they are out on it so young? That’s what happened to me. The day was taken off it at 26 it finally started to know my body. I was 13 when I first wa spit on it to help with cramps and pms.
Birth control for cramps??? whoever prescribed that for you is just selling you the drug. And that’s why i always take a second opinion and sometimes third to make sure i’m not making a mistake. In my country birth control pills are regulated and should not be given to children unless there’s a specific case that requires it, not for cramps. doctors can always prescribe any kind of NSAIDS (non-steroid anti inflammatory drugs) like ibuprofen - ketoprofen - or sometimes paracetamol 665mg (sustained release ) for cramps.
My country prescription is paid for mostly by the government. I think they suspected I had endometriosis (in my family). I had no idea on how to track my period/understand the reason so I think they were trying to see if it was cramps/pain was coming from. Also I was having time off school so was probably thought it would help) I did take over the counter pain medication but it didn’t help. I ended up also being diagnosed with IBS (which I do know I have). I should have said cramps and heaviness however it was manageable (the heaviness) Anyway they never tested me for endometriosis as I was able to have children and after my child was born and after I stopped using tampons my cramps were far better.
Great to hear that your problem was solved. Btw the whole arab world don’t use tampons, i never had them in my pharmacy or saw them in any other pharmacy neither in the levant region (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan etc..) nor the gulf region (UAE,KSA etc..) And i never knew they had chemicals if it wasn’t for this episode of the comment section.
Respectfully, I think that the point Brett is making (though granted not what she said) about side effects and birth control isn’t that women are told there isn’t a potential for side effects (because yes the potential side effects are on the paper insert) but rather that the side effects are minor or just part of the bargain. And culturally most women accept these side effects as okay to suffer through. Also some women/young girls are put on the pill so young that when they experience some side effects they don’t even realize it’s the pill causing it, they think they just have anxiety and depression or any myriad of other symptom and don’t think to stop taking the pill. I think this particular podcast is extremely important topic and while maybe Brett isn’t perfectly on point medically I do think the message is really important. I only have one friend who medically needs to be on the pill and actually feels better on it, she has no problem taking it because it is actually helping her. Most of my other friends feel obligated to be on it. That’s a problem. So I’m passionate about alternative methods and education and anyone who brings attention to the topic at all, so I am thankful for Bret for doing that episode.
First of all, thank you for your comment Secondly, you’re right, there are some doctor who abuse their “Title” to sell a certain drug and they are 100% payed by a company (and it doesn’t have to be a “big pharma” company) the small ones do it too. I said in another comment, birth control pills are regulated in my country, it shouldn’t be prescribed unless it’s a specific case that needs it, not for period cramps as the other commenter said. And it’s not your fault as a patient, it was prescribed to you by a “doctor” who you trusted, and even if they prescribed it for the right reason, no one should take it for the rest of their lives. Specially when you feel the side effects. For cramps you can take non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS like ibuprofen or ketoprofen) or even paracetamol as all the women do in my country. And if you feel like you don’t want to take the pill there are many ways for birth control other than that. Now my point is that we shouldn’t tell people to take or not to take a medicine, because we don’t know their case, medical history, other drugs or supplements that they’re taking. And the pill is sometimes necessary for some cases like your friend and that’s why i was saying that she can influence a young patient who actually needs it to stop taking it. Other than that, everything she said in that episode was 100% right.
You give great advice that anyone experiencing severe side effects should consult with their doctor. However, I have encountered a disturbing number of women who have perpetually been given bad advice by doctors pushing certain drugs that were obviously incompatible with the patient, and more who feel betrayed by doctors who pressured them into certain health care decisions they've come to regret. I think it's important to put Brett's contribution to the conversation in the appropriate context. She is not a medical professional, but she is a young woman who is sharing her perspective on the collective knowledge and experience of herself and many other women. The number of women who hear something like this and suddenly feel empowered and less alone in their struggles is fairly significant, and it may motivate many to reach out for help, seek a second opinion, or finally realize that what they are going through isn't necessarily normal or acceptable.
You’re right. I have encountered some doctors who actually push a certain medicine (specific brand) on the patient and us pharmacists and tell the patient that if they take anything other than this it won’t work. I know that some people don’t have the ability to go get a second opinion, they can ask any community pharmacist about this and they’ll be more than happy to help or at least direct them to the right health care provider
Yes dude! 1. Do your own research 2. Get more than one or two opinons. 3. Don't blindly trust medical professionals, they specialise in different areas. I studied sport science and my GP at the end of our appointment said is there anything else, and I thought I may as well tell him about some injuries I had, and he said you know more about that than me. So he was good, other doctors aren't as honest.
That doctor should be honored! you can’t find a doctor who’s humble enough to tell you that nowadays.
@DrMauriceDakar yeah dude he was awesome long Grey pony tail, old hippie dude hella professional too

is it the same as ozempic ?
Nope, it’s a different type of drugs. Will be making a video about that soon :D
Not at all
Melatonin does not induce sleep . It maintains sleep. 3 mg per night is the optimum dose.
Correct, although i read a study saying that it both induces and maintains sleep. I believe that It helps to sleep faster if you have the right environment, you’ll feel sleepy but it won’t force you to sleep if you don’t want to.
Thank you doctor ❤❤👏

Basmati rice is what I like and use..portion control is best and get in 35 - 45 minutes of exercise after eating. Movement is medicine.
After refrigerating rice, heat it up thoroughly, as it cools on your plate drizzle olive oil on it before eating. Get some exercise after eating your last meal of the day.

The real problem is that everyone lost trust in doctors and medical health providers after covid specially when they started pushing us to take the vax Because of that, people would ask other people about their experiences and how they dealt with it.. i don’t think it’s right, but it’s happening anyways.
I know your struggle with doctors and specially the ones that are spreading misinformation out on the internet just for the attention.. stay safe out there!
I’ve took them for a while, didn’t feel any difference from doing a normal diet…
That’s why i call them fake pills..
That's what I do . . . Cook up a big batch of rice and eat small portions all week long as a side dish to my basic Mediterranean diet meals. It's more about portion control, eating healthy protein, and eating the rainbow of fruits and veggies. It's also about getting enough exercise. All of this to complete the picture of a healthy lifestyle. Don't just sit around eating even healthy food; if you do, you will pack on the pounds. Have healthy relationships with people, pets, etc., and be happy. This works for me, and it can work for anyone.
Ask anybody that ever wrestled in h.s college theyll tell you how to do it in a few days
For wrestling it’s a different case, they have to lose the weight for the weigh ins and then they can gain it back after the match. In this case that i’m discussing, people are asking me to lose 20 lbs in an easy way and never gain it back or at least keep it off for a long time which is unrealistic. The amount of dedication it takes for a wrestler to lose that much weight is incredible, i don’t think that normal people would voluntarily do it. (Personal opinion)
@@DrMauriceDakar yeah I agre the amount of dedication normal people wouldn't do it. Same with what it really takes to get that weight off and keep it off. I'm lost 60lbs in like three months in 2015. I'm so far 80lbs lost. Have been holding 185lbs 18% bf. My alleged perfect weight is 176lbs at 5"10
that's really impressive, that's actually one of the best transformations I've ever heard of! As long as you can sustain your healthy weight and body fat and you're comfortable with how you look, it's okay not to hit your ideal weight
@@DrMauriceDakar I was an athlete most of my life so I had the discipline to do it plus plenty of issues that came with the weight. Long story short a friend that lost about 100lbs pointed me in the direction of Dr. Sebi. as I don't really like to take medicine or go to hospitals. I read his books found what I needed followed his recipes. Eventually learned myself and I now know how to maintain and control my body just by adjusting my food intake. I haven't had any health issues since 2016. Not even a cold.
I was actually afraid of taking it because i don’t want to lose my gains if i stopped..
it's actually one of the side effects that happens when you stop taking it, not instantly tho
Hi… I appreciate your videos. But two things about this… One. Have you seen all of the research about eating at night and circadian rhythm? And have you seen the research clearly showing that it’s not all about calories?
Hey! Thank you for your comment First of all, i haven’t spoken about carbs and it’s effect on the circadian rhythm i’m only speaking about the idea of eating carbs at night People tend to avoid eating carbs at night thinking they’ll get fat because they’re not moving at as much a d specially before they go to sleep. I’ve read enough research with the supervision of my professors that calories is the main factor that determines if you’re going to gain or lose weight. And yes, there are other factors that can make it harder to lose/gain weight, but the main reason would be calories in calories out
If you have any articles or research to be read i’d like to get links to take a look :)
I got a bigger refrigerator. After doing this, I have accidentally started including resistant starch by preparing batching of potatoes, rice, quinoa, etc. so that I have several days of these stored in my refrigerator.
That’s the best thing you can ever do, it saves time and you can use the resistant starch in your diet 👍🏼
Just eat fresh and hot .. resistant starch by staking cooling is yuck
Hi im lost please help me theast part about gaining and losing what does that mean
Of course! Calorie is a measuring unit we use to measure the amount of energy you’re consuming through food or using through movement, exercise and metabolism (which is you’re body functioning without you moving at all - like when you’re asleep) Every person has a certain amount of energy that they need to live which we call (basal metabolic rate) or BMR Add to that the amount of energy you’re using throughout the day by moving, fidgeting, talking and even chewing gum That will give you a number we call “ Maintenance Calories” let’s say it’s 2000 Calories per day If you eat more than your maintenance calories your body will store the excess amount of energy as Fat so it can use it to function properly in case you didn’t eat enough food to provide the necessary amount of energy If you eat less than your maintenance calories your body will start using the reserved energy (which is the fat) to get to the maintenance calories and function properly In conclusion, If you want to lose weight.. your caloric intake should be leas than your maintenance calories If you’re gaining weight, that means you’re consuming more calories than what your body needs to operate, so it’s storing it as fat. Hope this answers your question, if you have any other questions i’m ready to help 😄
Ur kinda chubby man idk if I should take advice from you
Yeah, because i lose a part of my medical knowledge whenever i start bulking 😅
I take 1 mg tablet (not every night), and 6 to 7 hours of sleep with melatonin is enough to start the day so fresh and energetic. Most of the time I don't need coffee in the morning. It take me about 20 minutes to fall a sleep. Btw, I discovered melatonin about 3 months ago, never heard before for it. Melatonin change my life😊
I wish i have 1mg tablets in my area, That’s the best way to take melatonin 🙌🏼
@@DrMauriceDakar Yeah, here in Europe we have 1 mg dose, and it's quiet good.
That’s very encouraging! Thanks doc
