you were wrong calling men in dresses women. how about you start with that one
What wow really lol
You need to come up to Seattle and take a tour of Bastyr University. It's the largest natural health university in the US. They do amazing work.
Is penis enlargement a real thing I've never heard of that?
@@hoihoipoipoi you sound hurt :,(
A doctor admitting being wrong is a doctor to trust❤
You said it perfectly!
I have had SO many doctors simply refuse to believe that they, or even one of their colleagues, could be wrong. If you want a second opinion, never say what the first opinion was.
I agree
Admitting misinformation is a superpower, and such a refreshing change from someone on social media - especially a doctor. Thank you for your transparency❤️
Agreed!! Any doctor who readily admits when he or she is wrong has my respect. I'd much rather trust my health to a person capable of learning from their mistakes than a stubborn fool who won't let go of their "perfect" image.
💯
My doctor was great about that. Obviously he was usually right but there were a few times that I brought him articles (medical ones, not from Reader's Digest etc) and he accepted and read them and said "thank you for making me aware of this."
Decades ago, a wise internist told me that the reason they called it the "practice of medicine" is that doctors hadn't gotten it perfect yet. You have some of his wisdom, Dr. Youn.
The term is not limited to law and medicine. Consultancies, engineering firms, architects, and many other kinds of professionals also refer to their firms, specialities or lines of business as 'practices'. It's first recorded as such in 1421 to mean ‘to exercise oneself in a skill or art in order to acquire, improve or maintain proficiency’. From 1542, however, it is recorded as meaning ‘to perform (an activity) or exercise (a skill) repeatedly’.
Medicine is not something that can ever be 'perfected' because it's an inexact science that's also ever-evolving; and like all biological systems, both disease-causing organisms and their victims evolve. Furthermore, we're making medical discoveries everyday that either confirm or discredit previous theories and practices within the medical and scientific fields.What was considered a 'cure' in yesteryear has become 'not evidence based' now but will soon be seen as a possible 'cure' again. It happens every year in medicine where things change because of more years of research, which ironically takes us back to the practices of yesteryear. We seem to be stuck in this endless contradictory cycle of medical cures and discoveries, and where the same scientific research studies can yield different results at different times.
As an A&E doctor, I'm humbled everyday by how little my colleagues and I know even after years of practice. For this reason, I remind my patients that it's important not to outsource the responsibility for their health-care to external parties and rely too much on doctors to 'fix' them, but educate themselves in order to choose the path best suited to their individual needs, which may include integrative approaches. Allopathic medicine is very young in its development whereas holistic and traditional medicines have existed for millennia, so it'd be imprudent to dismiss them when we're dealing with people (whole organisms) and not just the disease (pathogens).
Patients being told symptoms “are all in your mind”, or that they have psychiatric problems is unfortunately too common especially for women.
But sadly, many are in the mind which can make the body sick. All connected.Fix the mind, fix the body.
I eventually got a diagnosis, and thought whew the gaslighting by Dr's will end. Now I get crap like, " your condition is so rare, no one is thisxentirecregion wants to take on your care". Great.
Once a gyn told me that my issues were because I was premenopausal at 35. Almost Three years later my period is fine. I still suspect about the COVID vaccine causing me issues with my period before
💯
@@youtube_user9110 Period issues have always been there. I'm mid 40's had several different period phases in my life way before Covid vaccine.
You sound like the sort of father that I was blessed to have for 47 years. I love that for your daughter.
ikr? That made me so happy when I heard him say such a beautiful thing about his daughter. Your father sounds wonderful.
@@nadiamccall4311 He was such a good man
hope you are having a great day. 💜
If I only had a father like him.....my life would be so much better
As someone who wasn't as lucky, I love when people are vocal about their good father and about being one. It makes it easier to see the good in the world.
And please never feel bad for your good luck. You deserve having a good father and that doesn't take anything from anyone. In fact, I'm convinced that just shares a good example and spreads kindness like you just did.
@@Dekubud Thank you, clearly you are a great example of rising above adversity and the reminder to just share kindness.
Well, I went to see a doctor about not being able to breathe properly through my nose who held a finger under my nose, told me to breathe and then told me that it was just my imagination. Went to see a different doctor who actually looked at my nostrils, said I had a deviated septum and then ordered a CT scan and the imagery was shocking. My left airway was a fraction of my right one. So this "psychological issues" story makes me really angry.
And I don't blame you.
I think all the women out there who had to go through a gazillion doctors before finally getting one who treated their endometriosis, and was told that their debilitating cramps and two week long periods
were “normal” would have great empathy for you.
I literally have had that same issue for a couple of years now.. My nose always feel congested in at least one nostril (which one varies)..even when I'm not. I can't get proper oxygen..
The doctor just gave me something de-swelling. Didn't help.. so now I just live with this sh*t.
Grrrrrr
Very true. I was not properly diagnosed with my vocal-cord-related breathing issue or sleep apnea because my problems were "psycho-somatic."
As an African American, we have used vaseline or cocoa/shea butter from infancy, all over our bodies. It holds the moistures in, keeps our skin hydrated and smooth and for me in a colder climate helps with wind burn on our faces.
He really irritated me w that one
Us Africans too.
Yesss ! We used it growing up also. Would use it on our 'baby hair" too. 😀😁🤣😂
@@2okaycolawhy irritated? he literally said he was wrong lol
Even Caucasian women used Vaseline all the time. Very moisturizing.
I think i remember watching that video where you mentioned that petroleum jelly being bad for skin and then later seeing all the trends like slugging which involves using petroleum jelly on the face. I never thought much about it. Its refreshing to see doctors like you who are honest and admit when they're wrong. And I completely agree with you on your thoughts about not getting plastic surgery to get rid of our features. We're all different and no one should feel to look like someone. ❤❤
Yeah, we are all human!
My mom is a cosmetologist, and she has told me that it’s more that it prevents dead skin from sloughing off naturally, and also suffocates skin which is porous. your skin doesn’t absorb it like it would with plant or animal oils. So people with acne or sensitive skin, or skin conditions like psoriasis should avoid it as it can make those conditions worse, and can cause breakouts of pimples. Otherwise it’s safe.
@@MermaidMakesi have dry skin and use it under my eyes and on my lips. anywhere else makes me break out
@@twobabka I think lips is probably the best place to use it! If you haven’t tried already, I recommend pure unrefined shea butter, which has antimicrobial properties and a lot of other nutrients! That’s my go to in this dry winter weather.
@@MermaidMakes interesting! well since ur the spawn of a cosmetologist i will take ur advice cuz i hâte the texture of aquaphor
This is a very valuable video to share. Thank you!
One of the reasons I continue to watch your content, is that you appear to have the humility and integrity necessary to offset the pitfalls of fame and popularity. I hope that you will continue to keep yourself grounded, even as your expertise and skills skyrocket over the years.
I try to keep myself grounded, but not always successful lol
@@DoctorYoun You're doing a beautiful job!
What you said about your daughter made me teary. Much respect for this.
It was precious! I loved him as a dad for speaking his feelings about his baby girl 😍
But he is a plastic surgeon, though. Most plastic surgery patients are women.
If women are "beautiful as they are", what kind of surgery will he do now, then?
What plastic surgeons SHOULD be doing, eg, treating patients with head and neck cancers, burn and accident victims, those disfigured from other medical conditions. Is that enough to be going on with ? Cosmetic surgery covers only a tiny fraction of what's classed as plastic surgery !
@mpatey63 cosmetic surgery is the biggest fraction, surely. People with disfiguring are rare.
They should be making people feel better with themselves. For many, that is achieved through cosmetic surgery.
@@justmeagain7 As far as I’m concerned, you can get a third boob if you want one. None of my business.
Youn isn’t comfortable with the widespread idealization of caucasian features and I think that’s perfectly understandable. It’s personal for him. What’s more, he isn’t stopping anyone. He’s simply referring people to other plastic surgeons. It’s his right not to personally participate. It’s practice.
Just as I thought I couldn't love Dr. Youn more, he surprises me, yet again.
Thank you for not being afraid to be a faulty human, and admitting to it.
This is how to move forward in science.
Trial and error makes perfect.
I LOVE how he stands by his beliefs! I almost teared up when he said that his daughter is the most beautiful girl he ever seen 😭❤️ I'm a psychology student and I have some practices that one day when I practice counselling wouldn't recommend to my clients. And this just made me feel like me having certain boundaries in the way I do things is fine🥺
My mom was a Dr and my dad was a chiropractor. He trained in the US after the war at the Lincoln College of Chiropractic which focused heavily on anatomy and he did not believe that manipulation could cure every ill like some other schools taught. At one time he had the biggest chiropractic practice in the Southern hemisphere. In his later years he studied acupuncture and had great success with that too. He eventually started doing acupuncture on racehorses and achieved spectacular results. (Horses don't have a placebo effect, which means it really does work). My dad died in 1984 already, almost 40 years ago, so he was definitely way ahead of his time, and I'm so grateful to be the daughter of two exceptional, forward thinking people. (When my mom qualified there was only one other female in her class).
Congratulations for being the daughter of 2 terrific people.
Very cool. You carry his DNA babe. Isn't it cool when we understand what Titans our parents were.
Amazing story thank you so much for sharing.
wow🙏😻 Amazing story, thnx for sharing, God bless your parents and you❤
When my MD found out I was seeing a chiropractor and naturopath he told me to find another family doctor!!! I was shocked, to say the least, because I really liked him as a family doctor.
Next time I saw my chiropractor I told him. He asked me the name and when I told him, he was shocked, since he knew him!
I'm glad you guys can all work together for the good of your patients.
How odd to have such an adversarial relationship. I’ve had a variety of doctors over the years, the best ones always appreciated the perspectives of others. By far the best doctors I’ve had were functional medicine specialists.
@@karenneill9109I trust MDs the least!
Unbelievable
In 2018 I did break my hip and was in the hospital for a month. When I got out of the hospital, I had another fall two weeks later and dislocated the same hip and as a consequences I had another operation and in the hospital for another week. The orthopedic surgeon said I would have to be carful because my leg would never be the same. Now I am back to square dancing and enjoying life to the fullest and I had a retired physiotherapist who dances in the same club as me tell me that most people do not recover the way I did. While I believed orthopedic surgeon, it is nice not to be one of the statistics and bounce back to life as if nothing ever happened.
Glad to hear you are doing well!
had a few doctors that would never admit to their mistakes and gaslight me. So I really respect your transparency
Honestly, I am so grateful for the plastic surgeon who declined doing a rhinoplasty on me (he explained why it would be obvious I’d had surgery). It took me some time to stop focusing on minor imperfections and appreciate them. I love that you publicly admit to being wrong, and I love your philosophy on beauty and health.
I wouldn't say you were wrong about chiropractors. I've heard of a couple of people who were permanently paralysed by chiropractors. I would never go to one myself.
Same. Some of them know what they are doing but some are total quacks. Let's not forget they were the original fear mongers about vaccines too, way back in the day. No thanks.
You would if your C1-C3 was misaligned
It is well known that doctors never commit medical errors...
how many people died by surgeons, would you still consider surgery if it's necessary?
Same in my country. There is plenty of those who damage peoples bodies
I was injured by a D.O and helped greatly by a naturopathic Dr …no one answer for everyone. Thank you Dr Youn !
How were you injured by the D.O.? So glad the naturopathic helped.
I am a Hispanic woman and I think Asian eyes are beautiful! Never understood why Asians will want to change the shape of their eyes❤
All I can say is: you are more of a treasure to me now than you were before!! Not many would ever admit mistakes at all but to admit and put out there for all to see and hear is astonishing ! What a good, kind , honest Dr. you are!❤❤❤
Being wrong is part of growing. It's a great thing and should never be taken in a negative way. Great job growing doc! Be an inspiration to others!
😭 You're such a good dad!!💕 So kind it made me cry, how you said your baby is so beautiful❤️ So well said!! Everyone needs to hear your message about that kind of eyelid surgery!
Dr. Youn, this video is one of the reasons I have more respect for you as a doctor & a person. When you spoke about the eyelid surgery some Asians are having & your decision to no longer offer it to your clients, it hit home for me. I would never want my son's to think they are any less of a person because of their eyelids.
Thank you for your honesty 👏🏼👏🏼
It takes a strong and understanding man to admit he was previously wrong. Also will your book be on audible? I’ve been battling Cancer since the beginning of 2020 so I don’t have any extra money at the moment. I’d also love to try your skincare but that will have to wait a few years.
Yes, it will be on audible. Best wishes to good health for you.
@@DoctorYoun yay and thank you🎉
The 5 things are:
1. Petroleum jelly is fine for skin
2. Breast implants are not completely safe
3. Walking is not the perfect exercise, it's good but isn't ideal
4. Asian eye lid surgery not required
5. Traditional medicine is not ideal when it comes to preventive care
I am a registered nurse and I love watching your videos! I appreciate your transparency and love learning from you.
My monolids (I don’t have the epicanthal fold tho) developed into double eyelid a few years ago on their own. The scary part was that it happened to one eye first so the other monolid eye looked like it had ptosis in comparison. Thinking maybe it was indeed ptosis, I went to see a couple ophthalmologists, a couple oculoplastic surgeons, and a plastic surgeon and they all have no clue as to why or how it happened. The Japanese oculoplastic surgeon I consulted told me they look great and natural and that people pay alot of money to have eyes like mine. She was the most puzzled of all the doctors. She kept saying “hmm, huh” trying to figure it out. Almost a year later, the other eye turned to double eyelids so thankfully I don’t need to get surgery to get them to match.
When I was younger I always wanted double eyelids to look like Asian celebrities. Then as an adult when my eyelids lost a bit of puffiness and fat, my monolids looked good and I finally appreciated them. Once I started loving my monolids, they decided to flip into doubles lol.
I’m still blaming the lash serums for it since the prostaglandins can cause orbital fat loss. Maybe with less fat, it changed how my lids opened? Anyways, I feel lucky that they look good because I was told by all the doctors that there is no surgery to turn double eyelids back to monolids.
Can I ask what brand eye serum you used? I have double lids until a few years ago, now I have hooded lids due to aging.
@@sct4040 Any lash serum that contains prostaglandin will carry the risk of orbital fat loss. You may or may not get this and instead get darkening of the eyelid skin, permanent darkening of the iris (color part of the eye), or other side effect. Latisse was notorious for all the symptoms and it’s only available by prescription. I used an over the counter lash serum and they aren’t regulated by the FDA because they’re cosmetic.
It’s cheaper to get the eyelid surgery because the lash serum caused me to get meibomian gland dysfunction. Basically the oil glands along the eyelid margin got clogged. It’s incurable and I’ve had 6 IPL (laser) treatments at $400 each ($2,400 so far) and will have to get one every 6-10 months for the rest of my life. I also have to do warm compresses (USB powered compress $100) twice a day for 20 mins followed by an eyelid massage to express the melted oils in the eyelids, and then a lid scrub with a hypoclorous acid spray ($30 per month). I also have to take 2000 mg of Omega-3 fish oil supplements daily ($50+/month) and take a lose dose antibiotic daily. All this is quite expensive so I recommend you just get the eyelid surgery. It’s way cheaper than to live with blepharitis. A couple thousand $ and it’s all done with plus the outcome is more predictable. Besides the high cost of treating MGD/Blepharitis, I also have eye discomfort, like dryness and light sensitivity. But at least my eyes look pretty now 🤷🏻♂️
Oh and I forgot to calculate in the cost of all the vials of lash serums that I went through. ($50/month for about 4 years) $2400! 😬 Ya, surgery is cheaper and safer.
@@syp123 I think the commenter before you will see. Since you posted without tagging anyone, everyone that replied to the thread gets a notification.
Yeah possibly from normal aging and orbital fat loss. Both my parents do have double eyelids so I have the genetics for it. My parents always found it strange that my brother and I didn’t have double eyelids. It was just so strange that my eyes changed so late in life. It’s actually a blessing because my upper eyelids were beginning to droop with excess skin. Now that there is a crease, my eyes look lifted and also my eyelashes point straight forward instead of downwards like it used it.
Did you lose weight? It happened to my ex as well in his 30s. He lost like 40 kilos. First one, and the other happened like yours.
@@jnm2088 no weight loss. In my late 30’s I started to notice when I would get really tired, my one eye would open up with a crease but it was very temporary. I’m glad I didn’t need surgery on the other eye to get them to match because the eye with the crease opened 20% higher than the monolid eye. I went around lifting my eyebrow on the monolid eye for almost a year. It was exhausting lol.
I also remember it being brighter on the double eyelid side too and my field of vision was a little better.
Doctor Youn, We Sincerely Appreciate Your Honesty In Informing Us Of Your Opinion Reversals. .. Absolutely And Unequivocally Refreshing Listening To You And Becoming More Informed About Many Procedures Being Performed By You And Other Surgeons!! .. Thank You!! .. Plus, You Are Quite Handsome And Look So Young!! .. God Bless You, CC❤❤🥰
Thank you for speaking out about aligning your practice with your values! So important as practitioners that we also walk the walk!
Such a good guy, Tony! You are one of the few to talk about personal/professional growth. And I appreciate your high regard for women. Your girls will choose great partners bec you treated with respect & kindness.
This is why I have so much respect for you, because you are always learning and being honest with your audience!
So much respect for letting us know that you were mistaken.
Thank you, doctor.
To quote Maya Angelou...
You did what you knew how to do, and when you knew better, you did better.
Dr Youn you look look so youthful and vibrant! Even more than in your older videos! Make it make sense! 😊
At 8.09 I started to tear up at what you said. So much respect just to hear you say that. I am asian with double eye lids but I can appreciate what you said. Wished more parents including mine think this way, that their child is beautiful enough in every way.
This video is so full of growth and transparency. I was touched to the point of tears, especially when you mentioned the Korean surgeries. Wow, after viewing this I am even more so excited to be a future surgical patient of yours! Thank you for being open-minded striving for excellence, and set apart from the rest.
Thank you for supporting and valuing the beauty in diversity.
My grandmother slathered vaseline on her face every night and barely had any wrinkles when she died in her 80s, just a few on her forehead from raising her eyebrows and in the outside creases of her eyes from smiling.
Dr. Youn, you are the reason why my adopted Korean sister no longer want's eye lid surgery. Thank you!!!
The hip injury thing is so true. My mom worked with the elderly most of her life and every time a patient injured their hips and went to the hospital, they would die soon after returning, at the hospital, or come back in mentally and physically much worse off.
The sad truth is that not only are their aging bodies struggling to heal, but also that they get even less care at the hospital than they do at home or in the hospice. The lack of socialization and not being in a familiar environment makes it a lot harder for them to stay healthy, especially if they have dementia. Not to mention they're much more vulnerable to the many transmissible illnesses concentrated in the hospital environment.
I want to be clear that I do not blame the overworked hospital staff for this at all. The issue stems from not having universal healthcare and from not giving people the possibility to be treated at home whenever possible and for people not being able to take time off to help care for their elderly friends or family.
Yes, my Grandma has dementia, it's not terrible yet, thank goodness. She broke her hip 5 months ago and she is much worse physically then she was before. She went from frail to something way worse. It's hard to see.
Thank you for your candor in sharing that your previously held medical opinion has changed. As you said, not many physicians will publicly issue a mea culpa. And congratulations on the publication of your new book! Your honesty and knowledge make you a trusted authority in your field.
Before my husband retired he was in orthopedic surgery. He is not a fan of chiropractors as he spent a good amount of his time‘fixing’ chiropractic errors.
I think there needs to be a division between naturopathic/holistic doctors and chiropractors. I trust my naturopathic doctor, I would never go to a chiropractor.
@@morgensellier7816 I agree 100%
@@morgensellier7816More division in health care, yes because that’s what exactly what patients need🙄
Me thinks he made a lot of money off of "fixing" chiropractic "errors." Sometimes a Chiropractor can help delay surgery for awhile. You know. At least until the surgeons can get through golf season.
@@morgensellier7816There is a division, and you're missing out.
Thank Dr. Youn! You’re the kind of Doctor I would trust with my health.
Thank you for your fact-based honesty. I wish all drs would understand that we all live and learn and share what they’ve learned over time.
Thank you for that! I believe the medical profession has trained doctors to have a superiority complex in which many times they believe they are right and have a hard time admitting that they are wrong. They often fail to realize their methodology of treatment is referred to as a 'practice' - thus indicating they will not always get it right and it is forever evolving. Many times cases that certain doctors have not frequently encountered will dismiss some symptoms and can often make patients feel like they are going crazy. You set a beautiful example for doctors to realize they don't know everything and admitting they were wrong can be an extremely healing step for a patient.
I know, it's awful, they should put their profession before their egos.
Thank you for being open and honest!
Honesty and humility combined with informed analysis 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I really appreciate this video! It’s very rare for a doctor to admit they may have been wrong about their views on medical related issues. Listening to women is a huge one. Thank you dr Youn! I enjoy all your videos they’re both educational and entertaining!
yesss we love honesty and acknowledgement 🙌🏻
A caring father 🥰🥰🥰
Only a big and good man admits his errors, that's what you are 😊
My Silicone Implants were ruptured with a needle when they were put in. No capsule had yet formed which can help trap some of the chemicals inside of the implant. I became very sick within three months and have had a host of autoimmune issues since. My Primary Care and Neurologist both believe the host of chemicals released from day one of an implanted, punctured implant. Thank you for speaking of this.
Dr Youn, your honesty is refreshing. Thank you
You are such an amazing person. I really love the mindset and values and honest information you promote ❤
I do love these! I love the integrated approach. If we can pull from the wisdom of each modality, all the better!
THANK YOU for acknowledging BII! Had mine removed and the next day I felt better! The more time goes by the better I feel!
A wise man is able to aknowlege his mistakes and improve. Only fools keep locked in fixed points of views, without the space to improve. I admire you for being frank and being honest about your misdjugements, even if in the future you feel the need to take it back. You’re so awesome!
what you said about your daughter was so heartwarming and eye opening 🥹❤️ she’s so lucky to have such a kind father in her life
Love what you had to say about Asian preferred procedures! Asian features are so beautiful!! Beauty standards need to go back to be optimal signs of health standards instead.
Thank you, for keeping updated, Doctor ❤
Instantly subscribed!!! I want to cry in gratitude for your acknowledging breast implant illness. It's real
change holistic to hottest bc this guy is adorable inside and out! Seriously what a sweetheart. If I ever get something done I hope my doctor would be half as adorable as this. He has dignity and respect for all types of beauty and this is the most beautiful way to be.
I respect you so much for making a video sharing this! Sign of a great Doctor!!
Thank you for your educated perspective. So refreshing!
I admire this in any person, to admit you were wrong .!!
You are a true gentleman for admitting your errors.
I applaud you.!
I respect you so much (even more than I did) for making this video. I have loved your videos but the your advice on petroleum jelly has bothered me for years as it is such a useful, versatile, accessible product. I am so glad to hear you clarify your point! Admitting mistakes, especially as a physician AND an influencer is not easy, but it is so, so important. Thank you ❤️
Respect to you for this, Dr. Youn!
THANK YOU for being such a mighty warrior for us, and especially for women!
The greatest people with courage who are willing to admit their mistakes. To share them so others can be benefited demonstrates even more of the person’s strength!
Respect big time Dr Youn! 🙏🏼
I love the way you have grown and your authenticity ! I was a young aspiring MD turned doctor in oriental medicine ( aka acupuncture / herbologist - we study food therapy as well ) thank you for your growth !
Thank you for explaining to us where you stand on these topic./ issues!
Love and blessing to you and yours Dr. Youn.👍🌹💖🙏🏼🥰
This is very respectable, I think often medical professionals in general feel that they need to know everything and it’s just not possible for anyone to know everything. Especially when you’re working in a field where things are changing constantly.
I've been following you for ever ever..and you have proven yourself to be honest and caring..and your vids are hilarious..about walking..I was 40 pounds overweight..and walking and a zero sugar diet I lost the weight..saving myself from the scary cursed diabetes.
I recently started working with a integrative medicine physician and I am blown away by her dedication, knowledge and patient care in general
When I sprained my ankle, I went to a physical therapist who gave me exercises that included 2 for improving my balance. I continue to do those exercises so that I can hopefully avoid tripping or falling. The statistics on broken hips causing death are truly frightening!!
I really appreciate that you admit your mistakes.
Thank you doctor for being sooooo honest!!!!!. 🎉❤❤
This was refreshing!.. a lot of doctors are not open to evolving!.. although some of these weren’t “wrong”… science and evidence has evolved & some of it is just patient preference. Good work doc!
Dr Youn, I wish ALL the medical persons in the world were more like you!
You are soooo special, Dr Youn! Thank you for your honesty❤️
Thank you so much for your honesty.
Thank you Dr. Youn. You are a kind, wonderful doctor
You really talked today!!! This video is a gem!!! 10/10! Appreciate it, doc!!! ❤
Bravo, Dr. Youn, for being honest and humble enough to admit twhen you are wrong!
Thanks Dr Youn for being humble enough to recognized your mistakes.
This is a really great channel and Dr Youn, you are so informative and talented. I'm so glad I found you! I will continue watching your amazing videos!
Dear Dr. Youn, thank you for acknowledging it. I am particularly pleased that you are discussing Breast Implant Illness. I underwent explantation with total capsulectomy this year due to ruptured implants, and I chose not to retain a foreign body in my system. I had been experiencing chronic migraines, back pain, and fatigue, although I hadn't necessarily attributed all of these symptoms to the implants, maybe only the back pain. Following the explantation, all these symptoms vanished immediately. Additionally, I've observed a significant improvement in my skin, and my eye whites appear brighter. BII is a genuine concern, and I hope there will be more studies to substantiate it. I also believe we should embrace our ethnicities and take pride in our uniqueness. I'm glad you discussed a holistic approach in such a great and honest video.
Kudos to you. It takes a great person to acknowledge the things that you said. The areas that resonated the most with me were (1) blaming the patient, particularly women, when the doctor is unable to find a solution to an issue. Doctors called me a “frigid mother” when we were trying to determine what was wrong with our son. (Turns out he was on the autism spectrum.) (2) So glad you are acknowledging the validity of Integrative/Functional medicine practitioners and naturopaths. In my case, the surgeon was wanting to cut out 25% of my colon. No treatment plan, no change in diet, nothing but surgery, just cut out the colon, without finding out why the constant diverticulitis attacks were happening. The next day I saw a naturopath who told me if I did what she told me to do, I would keep my colon and never have another diverticulitis attack again. I decided to take her advice and do what she told me to do. I still have my colon. I never had another diverticulitis attack again. The sad irony is that not one medical doctor, when I tell them this true story, has ever asked me what did the naturopath tell me to do? Wouldn’t that be the number one question? But no, not one MD has ever expressed any interest in how this naturopath saved my colon. The arrogance (which actually hides fear and ignorance) of the medical community astounds me. If I had a broken arm I would be first in line at the doctor’s office. But anything to do with nutrition and the gut/brain connection, MD’s are woefully uneducated and inexperienced in, and to add insult to injury, they belittle, mock and dismiss anyone they don’t understand. You, Dr. Youn, have my respect.
I just ordered your younger for life book and I can’t wait to read it. I could never afford plastic surgery but want to do what I can to feel and look good. Can’t wait till I get it ❤️
Hi Dr. Youn, I really appreciate this video. I would much rather have a doctor that is willing to admit to making mistakes than one who would never do so. For you to make a video to admit to your mistakes, speaks volumes. 👍 I'm glad to hear you mention chiropractors. I totally agree with everything you said here. I have been treated by them off and on for years. I believe that they have a lot to offer our bodies and well being as well as the typical medical field. I use both; "balance" in life is crucial! Merry Christmas!!! 🎄
Oww DR , I will do the same , as you are so proud of your heritage! God bless your soul
I'm so glad for what you said about the eyelid surgery...
You are a wonderful human. Thank you for this video.
I would like to specifically address the decision you made about changing the Asian eyelid configuration (and any other ethnic characteristics to look more caucasian). Bravo! In particular, I absolutely admire and love the look of Asian eyes. I, too, agree that all ethnicities are beautiful and should not be changed and should be admired for their unique appearance. It is wonderful that now we are seeing more ethnicity in our advertisements, etc. This allows us to grow familiar with our differences and to find beauty in those differences. I really love your videos and the advice you give. You have a wonderful personality, and I cannot wait to receive my copy of your new book!! I am almost 80 years old, and as I have grown older, I have been on a quest to pursue younger skin and body shape, not for beauty particularly, but for the fact that if you can improve your skin, etc., by eating correctly and using good skin products, then you are also improving your health and your overall well-being. So thank you! Can't wait for the book!!
YOU ARE A GREAT HUMAN BEING AND A GREAT DR! THNX FOR YOUR HONESTY AND YOUR TEACHINGS. BLESSINGS TO YOU.
🌺☮️💟🌺
So refreshing to hear your insightful views Dr. Youn! Mahalo!👏💕
Have I told you that I love you?! Thank you so much for the good information. This is a great way to present some of the changes and different ideas in medicine these days.
Dr Youn, you are a breath of fresh air! You neglected to mention acupuncture....my acupuncturist is my "primary" care practitioner. She keeps me well!
When people own their mistakes, or evolve their thinking, they engender more trust. Trust is greatly needed these days. I applaud anyone who is able to admit they were wrong. Being wrong or making mistakes is an opportunity to learn. Good on him!
