The first one is SO mis leading . It's comparing it to active recovery , therefore saying it doesn't do anything . WHILE loading screenshots w/ no actual studies and sources is pure propaganda.
As a dietitian I appreciate the last doctor admitting that doctors don’t learn enough about nutrition unless they take it on themselves to learn . Too many doctors at the hospital I work at think they know everything 🙄
Currently in medical school here: we only scratch the surface. We learn just enough to recognize and treat rickets, beriberi and the like but not enough to know what makes good nutrition good nutrition.
I'm sorry, but as a gay man who enjoys putting scrotums in my mouth as often as possible, I assure you this research needs more ... research. Justice for scrotums!
I 100% agree that mental health in kids needs to be more of a priority. My son was a happy, funny, and curious toddler. On his first day of pre-school he was rejected and bullied by other boys. It’s like a dark cloud has been hovering over him ever since, and he has never been able to form healthy social connections. I couldn’t find a counselor, much less a therapist for him until he was in 5th grade.
Even though you couldn't immediately grant him all the help you wished for, by monitoring his behavior for sudden changes and actively making his happiness your focus, you are already being a stellar parent!❤ I wish your son all the best and hope he finds many loyal people to be friends with😊
I didn't seek mental health services until I was out of highschool because I didn't want to be diagnosed as "just a moody teenager" and I almost didn't make it that far. We absolutely NEED mental health support for kids and teens.
Okay, here is the thing. As a child my life was nearly destroyed by psychiatrists infiltrating my body with various medications to treat my mental illness. Be very wary of this! It can cause serious damage to the self esteem of the child if they must be on medication to be normal. It can also cause actual brain damage in many instances. Mental health awareness is good, over awareness and overprotection here is absolutely catastrophic. Don't underestimate the value of resilience and discipline!
I get goosebumps thinking about being treated in an emergency by a doctor on the end of their 28 hour shift… this has to change (not saying it’s the doctors fault)
@@someoneelse4811I mean true…but in this case you’re sacrificing other peoples health if the doctor does not get enough sleep. And that can be over a hundred peoples health.
@@cloudyskyz2237 There's isn't always someone to replace the sleepy doctor with, and if there is, miscommunication during the hand-off will also endanger a patient. The guy who rolled into the ER last night is often better off with a sleepy doctor than a clueless or absent doctor.
@@someoneelse4811who would you rather have driving a bus? A driver who knows the route but has been driving for over 24 hours without any sort of break? Or a driver who's not as familiar with the route, but is fresh after taking a few days off? You're asking for a lawsuit if a doctor makes a mistake because of sleep deprivation. Especially when you consider how some of these hospital systems treat the hour limits more like minimums. If hospital cared so much about their damn bottom lines, you'd think they'd doing everything to keep multiple malpractice suits from coming their way, but nope!

Dr. Alok Patel, you have earned my respect. Please continue to study and educate others on the three "hot takes" you mentioned, ESPECIALLY the mental health in children being dismissed, misdiagnosed, "punted", or whatever is causing failures in treatment by "professionals". To the other doctors, thank you for continuing to share your opinions, fact findings, and overall experiences. Y'all are the kind of doctors we need everywhere.
I'm a pharmacist and my hot take is that the supplement industry needs more oversight and supplements should be regulated as over the counter medications. 🔥
In 2021, a reported 16,706 died of prescription opioid overdose in the US. On average, less than five Americans die each year of dietary supplements. Does this industry really require the same level of regulation?
I agree with so many of these! Im a chemist and it feels so validating to hear doctors acknowledge some of the poppycock that not only social media but brands, influencers and your grandma have made you believe. Thank you for this video. I would love to see your take on the product EMMA because every time their ad’s pop on my feed I get so upset people buy products like that.
Most doctors: Not so hot takes overall. Dr. Ed Hope: Eternal life is effectively real, yo. He really went all in - which is amusing, no matter if the theory is correct or not.
I actually liked his explanation to this."This is a theory, but this is why I believe it could be" and gave a really decent explanation to his theory. The question you gotta ask yourself is, do you really wish to live forever in that way, if your life means forgetting everything slowly?. I mean, your brain cells are dying, they are no longer active and learning, so in reality your life is flashing before your very eyes. Maybe in a sense, as a brain cell dies you remember what that braincell had stored as it is dying. So you basically visually see your life in flashbacks until you remember no more. The memories slowing down over time due to the lack of cells. Man I like the theory, but I do not hope it's real. When I go, I want to go fast.
dude hearing him say that got me HYPED. this is basically where the entire concept of an afterlife comes from - there's documented evidence from patients who have been brought back from death that they experience time dilation, so maybe they were "dead" for 30 minutes but they thought they were gone for like 3 MONTHS. the longer you're "dead," the more that time dilation grows, exponentially. 3 minutes of death might only feel like 3 hours, but 3 hours could feel like 3 years or even decades. add to that the knowledge of how we dream as a way of processing memories, and how people always see "their life flashing before their eyes" or loved ones who have already died, and boom. you have the afterlife. what appeared to the primitive human as a post-corporeal existence of limitless time surrounded by familiar faces is just the hallucinations of a dying brain stretching into perceived infinity. i like how he linked it up to brain size too, that does explain *why* time dilation increases exponentially as brain cells die.
The first one is SO mis leading . It's comparing it to active recovery , therefore saying it doesn't do anything . WHILE loading screenshots w/ no actual studies and sources is pure propaganda.
I right there with Dr. Brands! I'm studying sociology and political science and the way my very first prof in my very first sociology class just stuck with me. He could explain the most complex social theory in such basic words that we - who never heard anything about it - could relate and understand. So throwing fancy words around never means you understand what you are talking about - breaking it down and explaining it to a bunch of non-experts does!
I agree. I’m so much more in tune with it and started a wellness concept in my practice to help people not have surgery if they don’t need it. Dial in that lifestyle first.
I laughed about that one. . . because it isn't just human doctors. It's vets too. . .but good luck convincing people that kibble is basically trash. . .much less that there are more species appropriate ways to feed our pets.
@@KLondike5so true. I could tolerate junk food way better when I was younger. Now it just makes me plain miserable. Gave it up a couple years ago and will do everything I can to never go back. I have said that before and failed, but I am going to make it stick this time.
As an aspiring psychiatrist, as much as I love dr. K and do think he has a good point concerning some mental issues, that has a pretty scalding hot take. Agreed much more with the psychiatric resident, honestly his take shouldn't even be areguable.
I love that you included Siobhan to the list as she’s Canadian, and it’s nice to see you bringing in doctors from other countries for this. I watch her all the time and love her content! Been following her journey now for a few years.

Glad I made the cut again for these medical specialist series. Was worried I might get the key doesn’t work to the facilities treatment 😂 (nfl humor). Don’t sleep on Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Ibuprofen (Motrin). Very effective pain medicines. 👍🏾
Especially acetaminophen (we call it paracetamol) because how less side effect it has , since its selective COX-2 inhibiter without disrupting COX-1 like NSAIDs do , opiods are more faster acting though and steroidal meds got stronger effect , acetaminophen ftw
Just remember to watch how much acetaminophen you take. The maximum safe dosages are no joke with that one! It can trash your liver if you take it like candy
I was prescribed Lyrica for a very minor pain. I resisted taking it but then gave in for a week or so. I was a zombie. I had 2 people tell me it was way too strong and there are very limited times to take it mine wasn’t one. So i stopped and just took Tylenol. When I saw the pain specialist he was so happy I wasn’t taking Lyrica. I was happy he acknowledged how crazy it is.
i can confirm the effectiveness of ibuprofen, i was prescribed vicodin after a wisdom tooth extraction and i told the pharmacist to tear up that script and i bought some OTC 200mg ibuprofen instead. did the trick just fine alongside proper care and cleaning
From a Registered Dietitian's point of view, I'm very pleased to see that most of those specialists (including Dr. Mike) are saying that there is not enough emphasis on healthy nutrition and lifestyle changes. What a nice team of passionate physicians (I'm a huge fan of Dr. Jones and Dr. Youn). 🥦🥑🍎
Not sure it would help all that much considering most people ignore the advice either out cost or habit, the curse of abundance is what we are really fighting
@@southcoastinventors6583 While it's true that majority of people you come across seem "weak willed" in doing what's healthy, I think the message they were all trying to get across is that society as a whole CAN change that. People are very heavily influenced by social media, news outlets, and what they see in their day to day life which currently has a much higher focus on profits for the companies than the betterment of societal health. If this was flopped so that companies made healthier products and promoted good health practices regularly rather than "here's the next fad to get in shape" that doesn't actually have scientific backing it will lead to a healthier society overall. It really would take a massive shift in the populous to force companies to change in that way which is why it's so hard to get started. There's still a small smidgen of hope though seeing how effective a bud light boycott was, we just have to find something that unites people enough to want to make the change.
Yeah but it would ultimate informed people that alot of drugs or cure will not substain or create a absolute solution to problems that increasingly get worse, especially as one grows old. Because big companies keep selling the idea Drugs = Cheat Strat (or only strat), to whatever problem a person is facing, people underestimate the idea of daily habits being meaningful in the long run because they've over-esteemed the idea the Drugs or cure they've taken has solved for good several problems. There's no deny the inability to change one lifestyle due to economic constraints and whatnot, but to give a fundmental idea that drugs will never be the absolute solution it gets potrayed as will at least inform people (especially the general public) that its ESSENTIAL. TT-TT I was one of those people convince the idea nutrition&Lifestyle were more or less optional regarding certain situation when it actually revolves absolutely every single thing from present day to who-knows into the future! It's the perception that needs to be change (and it being accessible) because medical companies propoganda really do give people an underestimated idea on how much its absolutely needed and gives a big feeling of it being optional. @@southcoastinventors6583
The fact that some of these hot takes are genuine good points, and others come off like conspiracy theory nonsense, but all are given equal time and space without much commentary from Dr. Mike, is an interesting experience. Also the guy saying "most mental health issues come from the mind" broke me a little 😂
The guy saying we need to integrate "herbals" into cancer care. People already believe a spoonful of turmeric will cure their cancer, let's be a little careful. I'm actually a big Dr. K stan lmao so I agree on the utility of meditation/yoga. I don't 100% know how to interpret "most mental health issues come from the mind"
He probably meant that it comes from the way we interpret things which can be trained by meditation and mindfulness. There are many mental illnesses that actually stem from neurochemical disorders which means having problems with neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamin... for example clinical depression can be caused by having low levels of serotonin. But if your serotonin levels are fine and you still feel depressed, then it might be the way you interpret situations or life (aka your mind) which could be the cause for the depressive feeling. So changing your perspective on life, practising meditation, mindfulness and gratefulness or going to cognitive behavioural therapy might offer better help than messing with neurochemicals by taking meds.
@@vijo424one of my relatives' long time mental health problems turned out to be caused by hyperthyroidism!!! So yeah, it's not always a mind problem. (My whole family was shocked!!)
Yes, Dr. Malik! Every MD should also be an expert in nutrition! It would go such a long way in helping to support healthy habits, demystifying so many fad diets, fighting eating disorders and shifting societal ideas about healthy eating. Peach!
I've always wondered why the medical profession thinks it so smart to overwork and overstress doctors and nurses to the extent that they do. Could this be part of why hospitals are some of the most dangerous places to be if you're sick?
The issue here is that there are always too few doctors, nurses and professionals to take care of the amount of patients they have, therefore, they need to take longer shifts sometimes... They're simply understaffed. And they're understaff because the hospitals has no money to hire more people so to allow decent shifts. It's a system issue. Hospital are not dangerous places if you're sick (I get you be by yourself in a jungle if you have a broken arm or an infection), but of course there are more viruses and bacterias in a hospital than in any other place, making it easier to get a hospital-related infection if you stay there longer. Having not attentive staff can of course increase the risk of mistakes and affecting actual life. Luckily, anything is usually double checked, to reduce the risk of injecting a wrong medication or a wrong dosage, but make healthcare staff work like crazy does not help ... :(
@@zachthelibrarian1768same. Both have raised awareness of EDS which I have and have had trouble getting my own doctors to understand. Love all the doctors featured in this video!
So pleased to see a rise in understanding the importance of cohesion between pinpointed treatment and overall lifestyle/diet/mindfulness/herbal remedies. We love a synergistic approach!
I 100% agree with the doctor about taking Tylenol or ibuprofen over opioids! I was in severe pain after I had surgery to fix a broken leg/ankle and was having awful side affects from the medicine. Thankfully my surgeon was a family friend and recommended trying Tylenol and I was so comfortable after that!
It should be illegal to make doctors/nurses work 12+ hours in a shift. Its probably forced due to lack of staff, but really 😭 You guys are amazing for helping others 🎉
Another part of this problem is, at least in the US, each states guidelines of minimum acceptable staff per number of patients. Ask a nurse what they are in your area some time, you'll be entirely horrified.
i think up to 15 hours is still fine but no more. i've done 15 hours shifts and they arent THAT bad, but then again i live in a country where we have very strict laws about breaks. i get to take a ton of breaks and chill in between patient visits. (also i only do these long shifts every now and then, most days i work less than eight hours)
3:27 28 hours as a resident? Thats crazy.. Whats crazier is that.. in my country , as an intern we have to do 36 hours of duty, with stipend below 100$ per month.
I love the range on the medical takes here. Really educational, but I also love how it was edited like: “Climate change affects our health more than we think! Child mental health isn’t taken seriously! Cold plunges may not give you the health benefit you think they do!” “People think ballsacks look weird lol.” “Meditation is crucial for mental health! Most probiotics aren’t very helpful for the average person! Doctors aren’t legally given enough time to rest and give proper care!” (No hate to Dr. Yoon, I love all of them for all the knowledge they shared with me)
PREACH IT Dokta' Jones!!! @Dr. Ed Hope: This would explain why a 30 minute car ride felt like HOURS as a kid. A lot of these were fun! Thank you to everyone who participated!
Tip from a Dietitian: Since y'all don't get much training in nutrition, REFER YOUR PATIENTS TO US! I can't tell you how much awful education from doctors I've had to undo. Have us as part of your team!
Hi, don't know if you'll read this or not but I'm going to university next year to study dietetics. I'd love and appreciate a bit of help for this question. What area or subject would you say I should learn most of before I go, should I practice more chemistry, biology etc? Is there anything that you experienced in university that you found difficult from what you expected the subject to be about? I don't really know anyone in my life who's been a dietician so finding someone who I can ask is rather difficult at the moment haha.
I 100% agree. Recently I had to visit a doctor and while he was checking BP, for some odd reason he asked me whether I take protein and any other supplements. I said yes. Immediately he told me to stop it, because it causes liver and possibly kidney damage.
Omg preach. I just wrote a comment about this lol. Having to explain that fast metabolisms don't exist, that fruit isn't bad, that protein is not the macronutrient you should eat in greater amounts, etc is annoying. I would love to see a dietitian on this channel (that isn't abey sharp) because I've never seen one. Have a lovely day my fellow RD! 😀😀
Dietitian here! Thank you for mentioning nutrition. We all need to eat so it's best if all healthcare professionals could give some insight on what foods may be more beneficial for that patient and when there's too many questions to answer, point them to a local dietitian. Love these videos :)
Me too love!! There is a really good doc I recommend in New York I cant remember his name, but I listen to his research and videos. Very informative doctor I wish I could have him as my doc. I kinda of wish Dr Mike would do a video of explaining this disease. There is so many things to go into it. ❤️
As someone who spent a while in a coma the dr talking about how time seems to stretch out as you near death is true i think, the things i experienced while in a coma felt seriously real at times and ill never forget the things i see
to take it seriously, I mean the brain of an ant is even tinier but I don't think there's any reason to think an ant subjectively experiences the equivalent of an 80 y/o human. there's no reason to think a minute for an ant stretches out to the equivalent of subjective days for a human. if anything because an ant processes so much less information and reacts with much simpler "thinking" it probably experiences time as much accelerated compared to humans!
In the beginning of our life as our brain gets bigger, we experience time much slower than when it shrinks in old age. Also, tortoises have a larger brain than mice but smaller than humans, yet they live the longest.
It’s nice to hear from a panel of doctors from different areas of the medical field. Sometimes you hear the word doctor and generalize what that means. But there are so many avenues with dedicated professionals who want to learn more about the human body to help people. Thank you Doctor Mike!
3:20, I agree whole heartedly. But also want to thank the doctors and nurses who truck through it. I see the shortage of medical professionals. And no doubt it’s affected a lot of people in the field. Y’all shouldn’t have to work that long but I’m incredibly grateful for you guys who stick it out. Commendable.
I had to see a foot-and-ankle specialist when I was a kid after getting injured in a car accident. It was fun listening to the technical jargon he'd use when he was talking to another doctor, but he was really good about explaining things to us in non-technical language. Sometimes he would even draw little picture and diagrams for us. When he realized we would describe my condition as "dropped foot", he started calling it that too when he was talking to us. Although both my mom and I thought it was kind of funny that the technical term was "equinas deformity". :D
@5:15 no way, I actually experienced exactly this during a mushroom trip! Time is finite, but you can zoom infinitely *in to* any unit of time (like a fractal zoom). I do think there might be a "tortoise and the hare" logical fallacy somewhere in there though (I'm afraid the hare actually does pass the tortoise).
My best friend is in her residency and when she told me her schedule I was in disbelief. Because on top of seeing patients they also have to study still. I try and check in on her regularly to make sure she's feeling sane and can vent frustrations.
I was with my two young nephews when my Mom got admitted/stent placed. I actually ASKED the doc to use jargon AND full medical terms and that if it was something I didn't know, I'd ask. I translated it to the kids... That way, knowing they were already scared, I could 'control' their anxiety about what was going on...I know enough to get by, and know when to ask for it to be 'dumbed' down to me. Doc was GREAT at taking the request! I'd BET Sioban knows some of them!
I'm not sure what her statement had to do with jargon? unless there's another sioban on this list i haven't gotten to yet. i was a little disappointed that she seemed to be on to one of MY hottest medical takes but then she took a hard right turn from "society is driving people to be unhealthy because it is more profitable that way" to "society needs to help people make healthier choices." like... this ain't a "choice" thing, sis, this is a society that has been engineered from the ground up to be a human woodchipper, squeezing as much productivity out of us as possible and if all we can afford or have the energy to eat at the end of the day is some fried chicken and potato chips or a twinkie, who cares? if you're so miserable with your life because all you do is work and you don't get paid enough and you're barely staying afloat, that you self-medicate with some pizza and ice cream because it's the only thing that makes you feel slightly less miserable, is that really a "choice"? and how is society going to "enable you to make healthy choices" without dismantling the entire concept of capitalism to prioritize people over profit?
@@dietotaku Her statement didn't, nor did I say it did. I said she likely KNEW some of the staff that took care of my Mom, since her hospital is in the same catchment...
@@dietotaku ??? I think you got her point exactly Capitalism may be the "best" economic system but it's got a hell of a lot of a problems, both with economics but also with exactly your point of it destroys the society that employs it. We as a society should stop making such unhealthy and readily available food And yes, by the way, self-medicating with some pizza and ice cream IS a choice. Personally, I choose to self-medicate by playing Smash Bros with my best friend, which is a TOTAL waste of time but also makes me feel less miserable. You could try exercising (doesn't even have to be super intense) and it LITERALLY GIVES YOU HAPPY CHEMICALS. I promise that pizza and ice cream is not the ONLY thing that makes you feel less miserable. It's even possible that NOTHING makes you feel less miserable (I've been there too) in which case you still can't play that card because pizza and ice cream are something. Like your whole argument about society forcing us to do this is just straight up wrong, but you're so so close to being right, which is exactly the argument you're trying to disprove - that society makes it extremely easy for people not to be fit and actually somewhat hard for them to be fit and it is a problem that needs to be fixed
@@williameldridge9382 Misery is NOT always a choice I agree that society doesn't make you do anything but have you ever heard of mental illness? I don't think THOUSANDS of people take their own life every year because they CHOSE to be miserable
Thank you to all the professionals that shared solid advise!!! my biggest takeaway is from Dr. Dana Brems, "if you cant explain things in a way that people understand, then maybe you don't understand it yourself"
6:33 this is so true! doctors speak tons of medical jargon, thinking that it will impress the patient with their intelligence. Jargon is not received well
When I was in nursing school, I had several doctors state that it is important to treat the whole patient (body, mind and spirit), despite belief. Also, that good pharmacological health begins with a foundation of good nutrition. Both of the lectures that went with these quotes, still stick out in my mind to this day.
@@grabble7605 What are you implying doesn't exist? The point is that the patient believes, and a doctor's role is to support that the best they can, even if it's saying "I don't think I can provide what you need, here's a list of colleagues who might".
The sleep deprivation issue is true for nurses, too. I don’t know what fool decided that extremely long nursing shifts was a good idea, but it leads to all kinds of mistakes and burnout. People need sleep for proper brain function and physical health. Swinging shifts (mix ups of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd) shouldn’t even be legal. One could easily write a computer scheduling program that only gives two shift types to each employee so they can have a regular sleep schedule.
I'll never understand that. I'll never understand how they can expect medical staff to be ON CALL after they've gotten off a 14+ hour shift and literally need to take care of themselves and get sleep. I feel for anyone dealing with that.
They have those already. I used one for a restaurant when I had to do schedules. Sure, I sometimes had to tweak them but overall, it did a pretty good job.
I mean no offense when I say that sleep deprivation is a common issue among many professions. This is due to the capitalistic nature of American society and the strive for "success". Also, not every hospital's scheduling policies are the same. Keep in mind that only a small % of reality is represented through these docs' perspectives. Where you live is 100% going to attribute to how staff are treated and quality of care. Going even further, it then is affected by what hospital even if in the same city. County/State run hospitals in places with huge populations are notoriously overloaded and understaffed. That's the nature of the beast.. It would be most beneficial to focus on getting people to make healthier choices so there aren't as many patients.
Im not sure what cold plunges would do medically but speaking from experince they do help out a lot in the addiction community. I used it to stop smoking Nicotine and Mary Jane, anytime I was at home and got the urge to smoke I'd take an ice bath and it would help me refocus on other things and the urge to smoke would go away
For me, cold plunges/shower/whatever, do help with pain from soreness. However, just cold can make muscles tight, so I start with a cold shower after a hard workout, and then go hotter and rub out knots, finally going back down to a lukewarm and stretching a bit as I do. Works great for me.
5:27 He is right in a way! It happens when we use an RC circuit, the charge never gets to low potential energy state fully, it slows down IRL to the infinite interval of time, as the total potential of high PE state lowers(this part is confusing as I used potential energy, not potential). It is not unheard of in physics. But the assumption that small brain means bigger timespan has to be evaluated, because scientific method! We also have to take consciousness in account! This hot take is very plausible! Good job doc🎉🎉🎉🎉!
I believe much rather that the passage of time depends on the size of the brain and the speed of transmission (if we consider more than just neurons as a mode of transmission, as to account for vastly different biologies), it is also evidenced that mosquitoes do indeed experience time twice as slow as we do, plus “the lifetime hypothesis” is automatically disproven when you consider drastically different people, some die at birth, some die in childhood, some die at 60, 100, 122, all times are subjectively “lifetimes”, infact, considering how the brain stops growing after a certain age, those at 60,100,120 will experience time at the same rate, but the lifetimes are significantly different. If we consider a “decision” to be taken, a more complex organism will always have much greater tasks, while a mosquito may just need to dodge, etc. A series of neurons (including all inputs, outputs, etc) will be able to churn out solutions faster in a smaller organism of similar magnitude of mediums of transmission. if we consider the original case of a dying person, yes, indeed, time does churn out to be slower, but for a limited amount of Time, and for more limited conscious actions, there will be a fundamental limit to this when neurons are within (10~100) where decisions are analogous to basic cellular machinery and proteins and cannot perform complex tasks, eventually then neurons die as well after a final limit when 2~3 neurons transmit within themselves, still restricted in speed by synapses.
Dr Malik is spot on with the nutrition . I think every specialty has to deal with diabetes. Diabetes = endocrinology , heart disease (cardiology ), cancer ( oncology, pathology) eye problems (ophthalmology) , kidney (nephrology) problems, stroke (neurology & emergency) . Dry skin( dermatology) , cracked heels ( wound care, infectious disease) , gestational diabetes ( obgyn) , periodontal disease (dentist)I asked my opthalmologist what my sugar should be postprandial so that I don’t ruin my eyes ? . He responded rudely ,” Don’t you have a PCP to tell you that? “ I was shocked. ALL specialties should be trained on diabetes and nutrition.
Doctor Mike, THANK YOU! Debunking Medical myths, particularly those perpetuated on Social Media is something so very rarely taken head on, and you do it regularly!

Listen, I was set on becoming a doctor but after realizing the amount of sleep they get and the amount of sacrificing health and family time, I changed gears. Props to those who become doctors because it's hard.
I love these hot takes… I just wish you could get hot takes from a Dietitian. They are the professionals in the field of nutrition and often get looked over. It’s funny how the last Dr. mentioned that nutrition is the foundation of health yet there is no Dietitian recognized. Love your videos!
I love these videos and seeing different doctors being featured, but would love to see Sleep Doctors also feature since we need more awareness on sleep disorders.
Because of @Drmike and @DrDanielleJones I finally had enough of the neglect of my medical care, I spoke up,recorded the event and I'm acting out against the medical community here who have a history of neglecting the poor, and underserved in this disenfranchised community.

I agree with JP III I’ve been put on Oxy after a surgery and honestly the oxy just made me feel good but not in the good way. It really didn’t decrease my pain while Tylenol did.
I have a hot take for you. Too many times doctors don't listen to their patients or just dismiss what they are saying. They either think of them as numbers or just a paycheck. I am speaking from experience. I can't count how many times I've been gaslit or just brushed off by doctors.
I remember watching the "Ice Man" (Wim Hof) documentary on his extreme ability to withstand cold and train others to do the same. That isn't completely without merit in its benefits, as he was able to train people to do things that would normally make them go into hypothermia.
I’d like for Dr. Mike to have Dr. Huberman on his podcast to talk about cold plunge, heat shock protein, and other podcast related things. Make it happen Dr Mike.
I don't know what the study is, but I know how I feel when I take a cold shower after the sauna. Why do people need to prove things when they can actually try it themselves and listen to their body. We all are built different and we react differently to things. This social media war who is right or wrong is so dumb...
@@pascalterbeek Huberman is frequently wrong for clicks. Uses a lot of non-replicated studies and poorly understood mechanisms. He promotes useless supplements like AG1. Overall not a reliable source.

I think cold plunges can work great as a psychological booster. Sort of like placebo, you just feel better and believe that you have accomplished something. Overcome doing something uncomfortable, I think we should look at cold plunges in a more psychological way.
7:03 I really don't like how people ignore the fact that this is genuinely really really hard for some people to keep themselves from doing... like as someone with sensory issues, ocd, adhd, I barely even have a choice
OMG CONGRATS TO THE VIOLIN MD FOR PRACTICING NOW!!! I remember watching her when she was still doing student content iirc (apologies if I'm misremembering)
I agree so much with the last point mentioned about nutrition. I think it is way too hard to for most people to learn effectively about nutrition. There are so many misconceptions as well that just get repeated without thinking about it.
I'm a med student and I had a full 2 hour lecture specifically on nutrition + a third of biochemistry was dedicated to metabolism of nutrients (which is 40 hours+ of lectures + all the time we had to study it at home). I'm not sure whether this is a specific US issue (I'm from Europe) or it's just that doctors don't remember their first years of med school.
I will say, the biochemistry of anabolic/catabolic processes is not necessarily the same as nutrition, at least, I don't think in the context they meant it? I assume they meant like, knowledge of how to actually get those nutrients from the grocery store into our bodies for our enzymes to go to town on, haha. And that is about the science of which foods are higher in which nutrients, in what forms those nutrients are bioavailable, but also the socioeconomic and psychological factors creating an easier/harder time accessing a healthy diet. Considering it takes a master's degree to become a registered dietician, I know full well that when I am a doctor, I won't be able to cover everything and will rely on dietician colleagues!
@@Emily-hd9sm Oh, definitely biochem did not teach us everything there is to know, but generally speaking every time we've touched on new category of molecules, we've talked extensively about not just how they behave in the body, but how to get them in. Like when we were talking about carbs, we've done practical tests on how different foods affect blood glucose over time, we've talked about how fructose and sugar substitutions goes into metabolism and rough composition of those sugars in different foods. After all that I'm definitely not qualified to give advice on specific diets for specific conditions (and I don't really think medschools should be teaching this specific thing when there are specialities that focus on that) but roughly looking at a diet of a relatively healthy patient and being able to give advice on that is something that has been incorporated into our curriculum
Not sure about what doctors have to learn, but nurses learn that so I assume doctors do as well. I think it's more important to continue updating your knowledge about these things and don't get stuck in the rut of just doing your job, which I firmly believe most doctors and nurses do.
7:25 My medical hot take: Nutritionists don't know much about nutrition either. Because nutrition, like everything else is studied statistically, but in the real world is too much influenced, more than anything, by characteristics specifics to the individual. It is very hard to generalize anything having to do with nutrition, so scientific progress in the field stalled.
When I went to medical school in 1980, we had nutrition incorporated into each and every diagnostic topic and it continued throughout residency. It became a standard part of the curriculum many years ago!
Hot take: Here in America, we need to be a LOT more strict about allergens in factories, restaurants, and more. I’ve had allergic reactions because an allergy label said “Ingredients of peanuts” instead of actual nuts. I’ve also had countless reactions because of facilities that aren’t cleaned enough to avoid cross-contamination. I also went to Ireland recently, and every single restaurant I went into had a label of what allergens were in every single meal they offered. People forget that allergies can be fatal. This is a matter of life and death we’re talking about. With this system in place, I believe allergic reactions and deaths occurring from them will be significantly lower.
Yes, and what's more, I would like us to avoid removing foods from the diet of pregnant women. Some food like shellfish might carry dangerous bacteria, but many others (like nuts) are avoided during pregnancy, which can actually lead to the development of allergies in their children. This is because under-exposure in utero to things not commonly eaten by our pre-agrarian ancestors can trigger an immune response when we finally are exposed.
@@yunamac-mn4bdhe has an intolerance, not an allergy, to be an allergy you have to go into shock and throat swells and all that, just getting a rash is an intolerance
@@yunamac-mn4bd no you didn’t, you said low level allergy isn’t always life threatening. If something is low level it’s not an allergy, it’s an intolerance. It’s only an allergy once it is able to kill you
@@halloweenfan158Allergies can be mild. I get an allergic reaction if I eat crab: I get a rash if I eat it, but no breathing difficulties. On the other hand I can get potentially life-threatening anaphylactic shock from eating nuts.
Im genuinely curious, what did you think "ingredients of peanuts" meant? also what DOES ingredients of peanuts mean? isnt it just peanut its one ingredient?
I’ve got a hot take: build up of lactic acid does NOT cause muscle soreness. What we refer to as “muscle soreness” is usually delayed onsent muscle soreness (DOMS) which is the soreness you feel a day or two after a workout. Lactic acid was proven to not cause DOMS because while it does build up during exercise, it clears out of the body before DOMS actually occurs. Right now that soreness is believed to caused by micro tears in the muscle
I always thought that lactic acid was the reason for the immediate soreness of the muscles, and anything else was the micro muscles tears I remember learning in school about lactic acid for the immediate tireness. Maybe i misremembered and that caused me to end up knowing the correct info, or it might just be syllabus diffence or teacher
@@socire72 I think it’s starting to become more common knowledge but the problem is that there was a misconception about this for a long time, so a lot of people still think lactic acid is what causes DOMS
Lactic Acid fermentation does cause soreness in your calves at least. It’s a biochemical process and it’s breaking down compounds to release glucose when the amount of glucose released by respiration does not suffice
love these vids with input from so many docs. its like little shots of info. also i remember in my studies (psychology) there were some info coming from research that meditaion and mindfulness practices in patients with hallucinations and delusions might make the condition worse :/
love how Mama Doctor Jones came out with how women get different acknowledgments from male patients Doctors wouldn't blame a man's weight, or hormones or tell them they are being neurotic or it is all in their head gender shouldn't predict a patient support level when they have a health concern I have had this experience whenever I see my doctor.
I’m a physical therapist and my (very biased) hot take is that we are the least-valued providers in terms of pay, especially considering our role in keeping people moving, living longer, and off of opioids.
I’m an Athletic Trainer, and my hot take that I tell all my athletes is that if they take something for pain before practice or a game (which I always discourage), then they should take acetaminophen (Tylenol) rather than ibuprofen because the blood thinner properties of IBU can make an injury worse, especially in a contact sport, and especially in those with high risk of head injuries like American football.
My hottest medical take is: We have to push policy makes to address the social inequalities in our society so we can make headway with many endemic deseases and conditions that are causing a major strain on the healthcare system. How can we expect people to take care of themseves and prevent desease when they are facing so much adversity and dont have access to the time or money to live a healthy life? Fighting back against dysfunctional cultural norms is also top priority, particularly overworking like Dr Jake pointed out, and the never-enough attitude of a profit driven society.
I honestly think that education systems all over the world should have a health class that covers things like puberty, reproduction, exercise, nutrition, basic first aid, and mental health. Also, the things taught in the curriculum should be as up to date with current medical research/studies as possible, and taught as young as is reasonable (particularly the puberty stuff).
My doctors love me because I see my health as my responsibility. Taking ownership is keeping me healthy into my later years. It’s on you to take care of you!
I 100% agree with the Ibuprofen take. I had 2nd degree burns after a motorcycle accident and was prescribed some strong pain killers. I found Advil to do just as much good, if not more good, than the ones I was prescribed.
In my case, I'm missing my entire large intestine. For the past 7-8 years I've had flareups, ulcers, and nasty inflammation. Once a month, I'd burn, bleed, nausea and worse from how bad the flareups got, sometimes lasting up to an entire week straight. The doctors tried enemas, suppositories, oral medications, but nothing worked until, as a last resort, I was told to get put on over-the-counter probiotics, specifically anything with lactobacillicus. And now, months later, I have yet to have a single instance of burning, nausea, etc, and the worst flareup I've noticed is just some mild itching instead of the sleep-disrupting, practically-live-on-the-toilet kind of burning I was having. Apparently my intestinal bacteria simply never recovered and I'd been suffering for the past several years when the fix was just that simple... While yes, probiotics might not be necessary for the vast majority of people, they also aren't 100% mandatory to be prescription-grade strength either when they are.

The first one is SO mis leading . It's comparing it to active recovery , therefore saying it doesn't do anything . WHILE loading screenshots w/ no actual studies and sources is pure propaganda.
Real source above
As a dietitian I appreciate the last doctor admitting that doctors don’t learn enough about nutrition unless they take it on themselves to learn . Too many doctors at the hospital I work at think they know everything 🙄
Must be exhausting trying to communicate with ‘know it all’s’ when they may not have patients best interests in mind
Currently in medical school here: we only scratch the surface.
We learn just enough to recognize and treat rickets, beriberi and the like but not enough to know what makes good nutrition good nutrition.
That's why I am on my way to becoming a dietician! Just need some SEL internships to finish within a year :)

Yaaassss... the question is not which sack is the most attractive, but which is the least ugly 😂
Why is the scrotum not smooth and shiny? And why black? Why not pink?
I'm sorry, but as a gay man who enjoys putting scrotums in my mouth as often as possible, I assure you this research needs more ... research. Justice for scrotums!
😂
They do look kinda funny but our lady bits look kinda funny too. 😅
Both are funny looking but necessary body parts 💛
What happens if the most ugly is the healthiest one.
I 100% agree that mental health in kids needs to be more of a priority. My son was a happy, funny, and curious toddler. On his first day of pre-school he was rejected and bullied by other boys. It’s like a dark cloud has been hovering over him ever since, and he has never been able to form healthy social connections. I couldn’t find a counselor, much less a therapist for him until he was in 5th grade.
Even though you couldn't immediately grant him all the help you wished for, by monitoring his behavior for sudden changes and actively making his happiness your focus, you are already being a stellar parent!❤ I wish your son all the best and hope he finds many loyal people to be friends with😊
Price we pay for subsidizing child rearing the outcomes are not always optimal
I didn't seek mental health services until I was out of highschool because I didn't want to be diagnosed as "just a moody teenager" and I almost didn't make it that far.
We absolutely NEED mental health support for kids and teens.
So glad I kept my son at home. I don't think he would have grown into the young man he is if I had left him to be bullied for his Tourette's.
Okay, here is the thing. As a child my life was nearly destroyed by psychiatrists infiltrating my body with various medications to treat my mental illness.
Be very wary of this! It can cause serious damage to the self esteem of the child if they must be on medication to be normal. It can also cause actual brain damage in many instances.
Mental health awareness is good, over awareness and overprotection here is absolutely catastrophic.
Don't underestimate the value of resilience and discipline!
I get goosebumps thinking about being treated in an emergency by a doctor on the end of their 28 hour shift… this has to change (not saying it’s the doctors fault)

The irony of doctors not getting their healthy requirement of sleep 🤦♀️
Life is not without sacrifice.
@@someoneelse4811I mean true…but in this case you’re sacrificing other peoples health if the doctor does not get enough sleep. And that can be over a hundred peoples health.
@@cloudyskyz2237 There's isn't always someone to replace the sleepy doctor with, and if there is, miscommunication during the hand-off will also endanger a patient. The guy who rolled into the ER last night is often better off with a sleepy doctor than a clueless or absent doctor.
@@someoneelse4811who would you rather have driving a bus? A driver who knows the route but has been driving for over 24 hours without any sort of break? Or a driver who's not as familiar with the route, but is fresh after taking a few days off?
You're asking for a lawsuit if a doctor makes a mistake because of sleep deprivation. Especially when you consider how some of these hospital systems treat the hour limits more like minimums. If hospital cared so much about their damn bottom lines, you'd think they'd doing everything to keep multiple malpractice suits from coming their way, but nope!
@@someoneelse4811 on every new shift, all the doctors and nurses to meet to discuss what happened previously, and who’s covering which patient.

Dr. Alok Patel, you have earned my respect. Please continue to study and educate others on the three "hot takes" you mentioned, ESPECIALLY the mental health in children being dismissed, misdiagnosed, "punted", or whatever is causing failures in treatment by "professionals". To the other doctors, thank you for continuing to share your opinions, fact findings, and overall experiences. Y'all are the kind of doctors we need everywhere.
Pediatric mental health definitely needs more study! Their symptoms are often different from adults and dismissed as misbehavior.
@tyler108wtf do you want? Would you rather have kids chemically castrated than treated for mental health issues?
I'm a pharmacist and my hot take is that the supplement industry needs more oversight and supplements should be regulated as over the counter medications. 🔥
Pharmacy student here, couldn’t agree more
Don't know if that's a hot take, that sounds more like a very popular opinion XD
Not a hot take at all! That’s how it should be
No.
In 2021, a reported 16,706 died of prescription opioid overdose in the US. On average, less than five Americans die each year of dietary supplements. Does this industry really require the same level of regulation?
I agree with so many of these! Im a chemist and it feels so validating to hear doctors acknowledge some of the poppycock that not only social media but brands, influencers and your grandma have made you believe. Thank you for this video.
I would love to see your take on the product EMMA because every time their ad’s pop on my feed I get so upset people buy products like that.
Most doctors: Not so hot takes overall.
Dr. Ed Hope: Eternal life is effectively real, yo.
He really went all in - which is amusing, no matter if the theory is correct or not.
i couldn't agree more !!
Dr Youn: SCROTUM
technically he might not be wrong but who wants to live like that lol
I actually liked his explanation to this."This is a theory, but this is why I believe it could be" and gave a really decent explanation to his theory. The question you gotta ask yourself is, do you really wish to live forever in that way, if your life means forgetting everything slowly?. I mean, your brain cells are dying, they are no longer active and learning, so in reality your life is flashing before your very eyes. Maybe in a sense, as a brain cell dies you remember what that braincell had stored as it is dying. So you basically visually see your life in flashbacks until you remember no more. The memories slowing down over time due to the lack of cells.
Man I like the theory, but I do not hope it's real. When I go, I want to go fast.
dude hearing him say that got me HYPED. this is basically where the entire concept of an afterlife comes from - there's documented evidence from patients who have been brought back from death that they experience time dilation, so maybe they were "dead" for 30 minutes but they thought they were gone for like 3 MONTHS. the longer you're "dead," the more that time dilation grows, exponentially. 3 minutes of death might only feel like 3 hours, but 3 hours could feel like 3 years or even decades. add to that the knowledge of how we dream as a way of processing memories, and how people always see "their life flashing before their eyes" or loved ones who have already died, and boom. you have the afterlife. what appeared to the primitive human as a post-corporeal existence of limitless time surrounded by familiar faces is just the hallucinations of a dying brain stretching into perceived infinity. i like how he linked it up to brain size too, that does explain *why* time dilation increases exponentially as brain cells die.

He could explain the most complex social theory in such basic words that we - who never heard anything about it - could relate and understand. So throwing fancy words around never means you understand what you are talking about - breaking it down and explaining it to a bunch of non-experts does!
Love this! Thanks @DoctorMike for including me! Much gratitude 🙏🙏🙏
She’s absolutely right about nutrition. My faculty had an actual course and in grateful for what I learned, it’s been super helpful in practice
I agree. I’m so much more in tune with it and started a wellness concept in my practice to help people not have surgery if they don’t need it. Dial in that lifestyle first.
I laughed about that one. . . because it isn't just human doctors. It's vets too. . .but good luck convincing people that kibble is basically trash. . .much less that there are more species appropriate ways to feed our pets.

I agree. It's great that Doctor Mike included Dr. Siobhan Deshauer AKA Violin MD and Dr. Ed Hope. Even more so for doctor Hope as he is from the UK.
Glad I made the cut again for these medical specialist series. Was worried I might get the key doesn’t work to the facilities treatment 😂 (nfl humor). Don’t sleep on Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Ibuprofen (Motrin). Very effective pain medicines. 👍🏾
Especially acetaminophen (we call it paracetamol) because how less side effect it has , since its selective COX-2 inhibiter without disrupting COX-1 like NSAIDs do , opiods are more faster acting though and steroidal meds got stronger effect , acetaminophen ftw
Where I'm from the main pain medication after surgeries IS Acetaminophen! I'm genuinely surprised its not in the US.
Just remember to watch how much acetaminophen you take. The maximum safe dosages are no joke with that one! It can trash your liver if you take it like candy
I was prescribed Lyrica for a very minor pain. I resisted taking it but then gave in for a week or so. I was a zombie. I had 2 people tell me it was way too strong and there are very limited times to take it mine wasn’t one. So i stopped and just took Tylenol. When I saw the pain specialist he was so happy I wasn’t taking Lyrica. I was happy he acknowledged how crazy it is.
i can confirm the effectiveness of ibuprofen, i was prescribed vicodin after a wisdom tooth extraction and i told the pharmacist to tear up that script and i bought some OTC 200mg ibuprofen instead. did the trick just fine alongside proper care and cleaning
From a Registered Dietitian's point of view, I'm very pleased to see that most of those specialists (including Dr. Mike) are saying that there is not enough emphasis on healthy nutrition and lifestyle changes. What a nice team of passionate physicians (I'm a huge fan of Dr. Jones and Dr. Youn). 🥦🥑🍎
Not sure it would help all that much considering most people ignore the advice either out cost or habit, the curse of abundance is what we are really fighting
@@southcoastinventors6583 While it's true that majority of people you come across seem "weak willed" in doing what's healthy, I think the message they were all trying to get across is that society as a whole CAN change that. People are very heavily influenced by social media, news outlets, and what they see in their day to day life which currently has a much higher focus on profits for the companies than the betterment of societal health. If this was flopped so that companies made healthier products and promoted good health practices regularly rather than "here's the next fad to get in shape" that doesn't actually have scientific backing it will lead to a healthier society overall. It really would take a massive shift in the populous to force companies to change in that way which is why it's so hard to get started. There's still a small smidgen of hope though seeing how effective a bud light boycott was, we just have to find something that unites people enough to want to make the change.
Yeah but it would ultimate informed people that alot of drugs or cure will not substain or create a absolute solution to problems that increasingly get worse, especially as one grows old. Because big companies keep selling the idea Drugs = Cheat Strat (or only strat), to whatever problem a person is facing, people underestimate the idea of daily habits being meaningful in the long run because they've over-esteemed the idea the Drugs or cure they've taken has solved for good several problems.
There's no deny the inability to change one lifestyle due to economic constraints and whatnot, but to give a fundmental idea that drugs will never be the absolute solution it gets potrayed as will at least inform people (especially the general public) that its ESSENTIAL.
TT-TT I was one of those people convince the idea nutrition&Lifestyle were more or less optional regarding certain situation when it actually revolves absolutely every single thing from present day to who-knows into the future! It's the perception that needs to be change (and it being accessible) because medical companies propoganda really do give people an underestimated idea on how much its absolutely needed and gives a big feeling of it being optional. @@southcoastinventors6583
The fact that some of these hot takes are genuine good points, and others come off like conspiracy theory nonsense, but all are given equal time and space without much commentary from Dr. Mike, is an interesting experience. Also the guy saying "most mental health issues come from the mind" broke me a little 😂
The guy saying we need to integrate "herbals" into cancer care. People already believe a spoonful of turmeric will cure their cancer, let's be a little careful. I'm actually a big Dr. K stan lmao so I agree on the utility of meditation/yoga. I don't 100% know how to interpret "most mental health issues come from the mind"
@@crzyprplmnky I'm not sure how he meant it to come off, but the way he said it made me want to be like "well duhhh!"
He probably meant that it comes from the way we interpret things which can be trained by meditation and mindfulness. There are many mental illnesses that actually stem from neurochemical disorders which means having problems with neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamin... for example clinical depression can be caused by having low levels of serotonin. But if your serotonin levels are fine and you still feel depressed, then it might be the way you interpret situations or life (aka your mind) which could be the cause for the depressive feeling. So changing your perspective on life, practising meditation, mindfulness and gratefulness or going to cognitive behavioural therapy might offer better help than messing with neurochemicals by taking meds.
Yeahhh when the words “purify and transcend” came up I became a lil skeptical of some of these
@@vijo424one of my relatives' long time mental health problems turned out to be caused by hyperthyroidism!!! So yeah, it's not always a mind problem. (My whole family was shocked!!)
Yes, Dr. Malik! Every MD should also be an expert in nutrition! It would go such a long way in helping to support healthy habits, demystifying so many fad diets, fighting eating disorders and shifting societal ideas about healthy eating.
Peach!
I've always wondered why the medical profession thinks it so smart to overwork and overstress doctors and nurses to the extent that they do. Could this be part of why hospitals are some of the most dangerous places to be if you're sick?
I mean we do t want pilots without sleep flying us.
@@FlowerPower-cf2fp oh, but they do! wanna be scared go look into that sometime.
The issue here is that there are always too few doctors, nurses and professionals to take care of the amount of patients they have, therefore, they need to take longer shifts sometimes... They're simply understaffed. And they're understaff because the hospitals has no money to hire more people so to allow decent shifts. It's a system issue.
Hospital are not dangerous places if you're sick (I get you be by yourself in a jungle if you have a broken arm or an infection), but of course there are more viruses and bacterias in a hospital than in any other place, making it easier to get a hospital-related infection if you stay there longer. Having not attentive staff can of course increase the risk of mistakes and affecting actual life. Luckily, anything is usually double checked, to reduce the risk of injecting a wrong medication or a wrong dosage, but make healthcare staff work like crazy does not help ... :(
That's happening simply because there are not enough doctors and nurses

I 100% agree with the doctor about taking Tylenol or ibuprofen over opioids! I was in severe pain after I had surgery to fix a broken leg/ankle and was having awful side affects from the medicine. Thankfully my surgeon was a family friend and recommended trying Tylenol and I was so comfortable after that!
It should be illegal to make doctors/nurses work 12+ hours in a shift. Its probably forced due to lack of staff, but really 😭
You guys are amazing for helping others 🎉
Another part of this problem is, at least in the US, each states guidelines of minimum acceptable staff per number of patients. Ask a nurse what they are in your area some time, you'll be entirely horrified.
Also we get NO LUNCH BREAKS!
American healthcare, so they say. The only thing they care for all it's worth is money.
i think up to 15 hours is still fine but no more. i've done 15 hours shifts and they arent THAT bad, but then again i live in a country where we have very strict laws about breaks. i get to take a ton of breaks and chill in between patient visits. (also i only do these long shifts every now and then, most days i work less than eight hours)
4:37 I thought dude was a complete fool until he explained and WHY DOES IT MAKE SO MUCH SENSE…. Like it’s damn near flawless in my perception of it
You should do this for all the Medical professions like Nurses, RT, PT, radiology etc
RDs toooooo

3:27 28 hours as a resident? Thats crazy.. Whats crazier is that.. in my country , as an intern we have to do 36 hours of duty, with stipend below 100$ per month.
In my country we do that with stipend $50 per month with 70 to 100+ hrs shift per week
I love the range on the medical takes here. Really educational, but I also love how it was edited like:
“Climate change affects our health more than we think! Child mental health isn’t taken seriously! Cold plunges may not give you the health benefit you think they do!”
“People think ballsacks look weird lol.”
“Meditation is crucial for mental health! Most probiotics aren’t very helpful for the average person! Doctors aren’t legally given enough time to rest and give proper care!”
(No hate to Dr. Yoon, I love all of them for all the knowledge they shared with me)
PREACH IT Dokta' Jones!!!
@Dr. Ed Hope: This would explain why a 30 minute car ride felt like HOURS as a kid.
A lot of these were fun! Thank you to everyone who participated!
Tip from a Dietitian: Since y'all don't get much training in nutrition, REFER YOUR PATIENTS TO US! I can't tell you how much awful education from doctors I've had to undo. Have us as part of your team!
Yes... this yessss
Hi, don't know if you'll read this or not but I'm going to university next year to study dietetics. I'd love and appreciate a bit of help for this question.
What area or subject would you say I should learn most of before I go, should I practice more chemistry, biology etc?
Is there anything that you experienced in university that you found difficult from what you expected the subject to be about?
I don't really know anyone in my life who's been a dietician so finding someone who I can ask is rather difficult at the moment haha.
I 100% agree. Recently I had to visit a doctor and while he was checking BP, for some odd reason he asked me whether I take protein and any other supplements. I said yes.
Immediately he told me to stop it, because it causes liver and possibly kidney damage.
Omg preach. I just wrote a comment about this lol. Having to explain that fast metabolisms don't exist, that fruit isn't bad, that protein is not the macronutrient you should eat in greater amounts, etc is annoying. I would love to see a dietitian on this channel (that isn't abey sharp) because I've never seen one. Have a lovely day my fellow RD! 😀😀
@@neerajbaviskar305doctors still believe this to this day... sigh... And also that fruit is bad because of SuGAr
Dietitian here! Thank you for mentioning nutrition. We all need to eat so it's best if all healthcare professionals could give some insight on what foods may be more beneficial for that patient and when there's too many questions to answer, point them to a local dietitian. Love these videos :)
Dr. Jones is so real for her take. I’m living with excruciating endo pain and I honestly just want relief
Me too love!! There is a really good doc I recommend in New York I cant remember his name, but I listen to his research and videos. Very informative doctor I wish I could have him as my doc. I kinda of wish Dr Mike would do a video of explaining this disease. There is so many things to go into it. ❤️
As someone who spent a while in a coma the dr talking about how time seems to stretch out as you near death is true i think, the things i experienced while in a coma felt seriously real at times and ill never forget the things i see
My man Dr. Ed went full court press with that take. I love his channel which makes this even funnier.
he understood the instructions but he was too whack.
to take it seriously, I mean the brain of an ant is even tinier but I don't think there's any reason to think an ant subjectively experiences the equivalent of an 80 y/o human. there's no reason to think a minute for an ant stretches out to the equivalent of subjective days for a human. if anything because an ant processes so much less information and reacts with much simpler "thinking" it probably experiences time as much accelerated compared to humans!
@@GeekProdigyGuyan ant doesnt have a brain like we do, you simply cant compare. Thats why he used the mouse as an example
In the beginning of our life as our brain gets bigger, we experience time much slower than when it shrinks in old age.
Also, tortoises have a larger brain than mice but smaller than humans, yet they live the longest.
It’s nice to hear from a panel of doctors from different areas of the medical field. Sometimes you hear the word doctor and generalize what that means. But there are so many avenues with dedicated professionals who want to learn more about the human body to help people.
Thank you Doctor Mike!
3:20, I agree whole heartedly. But also want to thank the doctors and nurses who truck through it. I see the shortage of medical professionals. And no doubt it’s affected a lot of people in the field. Y’all shouldn’t have to work that long but I’m incredibly grateful for you guys who stick it out. Commendable.
so glad to see you are showcasing more doctors who are in the online community :)
I had to see a foot-and-ankle specialist when I was a kid after getting injured in a car accident. It was fun listening to the technical jargon he'd use when he was talking to another doctor, but he was really good about explaining things to us in non-technical language. Sometimes he would even draw little picture and diagrams for us. When he realized we would describe my condition as "dropped foot", he started calling it that too when he was talking to us. Although both my mom and I thought it was kind of funny that the technical term was "equinas deformity". :D
@5:15 no way, I actually experienced exactly this during a mushroom trip! Time is finite, but you can zoom infinitely *in to* any unit of time (like a fractal zoom). I do think there might be a "tortoise and the hare" logical fallacy somewhere in there though (I'm afraid the hare actually does pass the tortoise).
My best friend is in her residency and when she told me her schedule I was in disbelief. Because on top of seeing patients they also have to study still. I try and check in on her regularly to make sure she's feeling sane and can vent frustrations.
YOU are a GREAT friend. PLEASE keep doing this for her! I'm sure she appreciates it!
I was with my two young nephews when my Mom got admitted/stent placed. I actually ASKED the doc to use jargon AND full medical terms and that if it was something I didn't know, I'd ask. I translated it to the kids... That way, knowing they were already scared, I could 'control' their anxiety about what was going on...I know enough to get by, and know when to ask for it to be 'dumbed' down to me. Doc was GREAT at taking the request! I'd BET Sioban knows some of them!
I'm not sure what her statement had to do with jargon? unless there's another sioban on this list i haven't gotten to yet. i was a little disappointed that she seemed to be on to one of MY hottest medical takes but then she took a hard right turn from "society is driving people to be unhealthy because it is more profitable that way" to "society needs to help people make healthier choices." like... this ain't a "choice" thing, sis, this is a society that has been engineered from the ground up to be a human woodchipper, squeezing as much productivity out of us as possible and if all we can afford or have the energy to eat at the end of the day is some fried chicken and potato chips or a twinkie, who cares? if you're so miserable with your life because all you do is work and you don't get paid enough and you're barely staying afloat, that you self-medicate with some pizza and ice cream because it's the only thing that makes you feel slightly less miserable, is that really a "choice"? and how is society going to "enable you to make healthy choices" without dismantling the entire concept of capitalism to prioritize people over profit?
@@dietotaku misery is a choice. Society doesn't MAKE you do anything. Everything you do is entirely within your control.
@@dietotaku Her statement didn't, nor did I say it did. I said she likely KNEW some of the staff that took care of my Mom, since her hospital is in the same catchment...
@@dietotaku ???
I think you got her point exactly
Capitalism may be the "best" economic system but it's got a hell of a lot of a problems, both with economics but also with exactly your point of it destroys the society that employs it. We as a society should stop making such unhealthy and readily available food
And yes, by the way, self-medicating with some pizza and ice cream IS a choice. Personally, I choose to self-medicate by playing Smash Bros with my best friend, which is a TOTAL waste of time but also makes me feel less miserable. You could try exercising (doesn't even have to be super intense) and it LITERALLY GIVES YOU HAPPY CHEMICALS. I promise that pizza and ice cream is not the ONLY thing that makes you feel less miserable. It's even possible that NOTHING makes you feel less miserable (I've been there too) in which case you still can't play that card because pizza and ice cream are something.
Like your whole argument about society forcing us to do this is just straight up wrong, but you're so so close to being right, which is exactly the argument you're trying to disprove - that society makes it extremely easy for people not to be fit and actually somewhat hard for them to be fit and it is a problem that needs to be fixed
@@williameldridge9382 Misery is NOT always a choice
I agree that society doesn't make you do anything but have you ever heard of mental illness? I don't think THOUSANDS of people take their own life every year because they CHOSE to be miserable
Thank you to all the professionals that shared solid advise!!! my biggest takeaway is from Dr. Dana Brems, "if you cant explain things in a way that people understand, then maybe you don't understand it yourself"
6:33 this is so true! doctors speak tons of medical jargon, thinking that it will impress the patient with their intelligence. Jargon is not received well
When I was in nursing school, I had several doctors state that it is important to treat the whole patient (body, mind and spirit), despite belief. Also, that good pharmacological health begins with a foundation of good nutrition. Both of the lectures that went with these quotes, still stick out in my mind to this day.
How exactly is a doctor supposed to treat an invisible thing that ostensibly doesn't even exist?
@@grabble7605 What are you implying doesn't exist? The point is that the patient believes, and a doctor's role is to support that the best they can, even if it's saying "I don't think I can provide what you need, here's a list of colleagues who might".
The sleep deprivation issue is true for nurses, too. I don’t know what fool decided that extremely long nursing shifts was a good idea, but it leads to all kinds of mistakes and burnout. People need sleep for proper brain function and physical health. Swinging shifts (mix ups of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd) shouldn’t even be legal. One could easily write a computer scheduling program that only gives two shift types to each employee so they can have a regular sleep schedule.
I'll never understand that. I'll never understand how they can expect medical staff to be ON CALL after they've gotten off a 14+ hour shift and literally need to take care of themselves and get sleep. I feel for anyone dealing with that.
They have those already. I used one for a restaurant when I had to do schedules. Sure, I sometimes had to tweak them but overall, it did a pretty good job.
I mean no offense when I say that sleep deprivation is a common issue among many professions. This is due to the capitalistic nature of American society and the strive for "success". Also, not every hospital's scheduling policies are the same. Keep in mind that only a small % of reality is represented through these docs' perspectives. Where you live is 100% going to attribute to how staff are treated and quality of care. Going even further, it then is affected by what hospital even if in the same city. County/State run hospitals in places with huge populations are notoriously overloaded and understaffed. That's the nature of the beast.. It would be most beneficial to focus on getting people to make healthier choices so there aren't as many patients.
Im not sure what cold plunges would do medically but speaking from experince they do help out a lot in the addiction community. I used it to stop smoking Nicotine and Mary Jane, anytime I was at home and got the urge to smoke I'd take an ice bath and it would help me refocus on other things and the urge to smoke would go away
Thanks for having us on!. Great video Mike! Thanks for sharing our takes..
For me, cold plunges/shower/whatever, do help with pain from soreness. However, just cold can make muscles tight, so I start with a cold shower after a hard workout, and then go hotter and rub out knots, finally going back down to a lukewarm and stretching a bit as I do.
Works great for me.
5:27 He is right in a way!
It happens when we use an RC circuit, the charge never gets to low potential energy state fully, it slows down IRL to the infinite interval of time, as the total potential of high PE state lowers(this part is confusing as I used potential energy, not potential). It is not unheard of in physics. But the assumption that small brain means bigger timespan has to be evaluated, because scientific method!
We also have to take consciousness in account!
This hot take is very plausible!
Good job doc🎉🎉🎉🎉!
Though, after enough time, quantum effects start to take over and you get to units that can't divide further.
I believe much rather that the passage of time depends on the size of the brain and the speed of transmission (if we consider more than just neurons as a mode of transmission, as to account for vastly different biologies), it is also evidenced that mosquitoes do indeed experience time twice as slow as we do, plus “the lifetime hypothesis” is automatically disproven when you consider drastically different people, some die at birth, some die in childhood, some die at 60, 100, 122, all times are subjectively “lifetimes”, infact, considering how the brain stops growing after a certain age, those at 60,100,120 will experience time at the same rate, but the lifetimes are significantly different. If we consider a “decision” to be taken, a more complex organism will always have much greater tasks, while a mosquito may just need to dodge, etc. A series of neurons (including all inputs, outputs, etc) will be able to churn out solutions faster in a smaller organism of similar magnitude of mediums of transmission. if we consider the original case of a dying person, yes, indeed, time does churn out to be slower, but for a limited amount of Time, and for more limited conscious actions, there will be a fundamental limit to this when neurons are within (10~100) where decisions are analogous to basic cellular machinery and proteins and cannot perform complex tasks, eventually then neurons die as well after a final limit when 2~3 neurons transmit within themselves, still restricted in speed by synapses.
Dr Malik is spot on with the nutrition . I think every specialty has to deal with diabetes. Diabetes = endocrinology , heart disease (cardiology ), cancer ( oncology, pathology) eye problems (ophthalmology) , kidney (nephrology) problems, stroke (neurology & emergency) . Dry skin( dermatology) , cracked heels ( wound care, infectious disease) , gestational diabetes ( obgyn) , periodontal disease (dentist)I asked my opthalmologist what my sugar should be postprandial so that I don’t ruin my eyes ? . He responded rudely ,” Don’t you have a PCP to tell you that? “ I was shocked. ALL specialties should be trained on diabetes and nutrition.
Agreed. We also have registered dietitians trained and ready to help with this.
Doctor Mike, THANK YOU! Debunking Medical myths, particularly those perpetuated on Social Media is something so very rarely taken head on, and you do it regularly! To have enlisted so many COMPETENT physicians to aid you in doing so in their Specialties is inspired and so very appreciated! Thank you and many thanks to all of your colleagues!

Ok but cold showers at least 2x a week actually help my asthma, soreness and headaches.
Listen, I was set on becoming a doctor but after realizing the amount of sleep they get and the amount of sacrificing health and family time, I changed gears. Props to those who become doctors because it's hard.
I love these hot takes… I just wish you could get hot takes from a Dietitian. They are the professionals in the field of nutrition and often get looked over. It’s funny how the last Dr. mentioned that nutrition is the foundation of health yet there is no Dietitian recognized. Love your videos!
I love these videos and seeing different doctors being featured, but would love to see Sleep Doctors also feature since we need more awareness on sleep disorders.
Because of @Drmike and @DrDanielleJones I finally had enough of the neglect of my medical care, I spoke up,recorded the event and I'm acting out against the medical community here who have a history of neglecting the poor, and underserved in this disenfranchised community. They messed with the wrong empowered person ❤🎉❤
Congratulations!! This is amazing. Self advocating for your health is amazing. ❤ just wanted to cheer you on.
I have such a horror story, and I'm trying to get any TH-cam doctor (though, a cardiologist or electrophysiologist would be best) to take my story seriously. I got my problem that was CAUSED BY DOCTORS fixed, but the story is really serious and should be heard. I'm STILL healing from all the trauma!
@@kagomeshuko I'm so sorry you're having the same issues.. I've had to finally just hand it off to an attorney who wants justice for not only myself but for the people of Klamath Falls..I hope you find some help someday as well 💝🦋🦋🦋🦋
@@sheHerTheyThem I don't take ANY medicines now. I prefer it that way if at all possible. I've had to take antibiotics for UTIs. That's not a huge deal, but I even prefer if I don't have to take those.
It was nice to see so many doctors talk about the lack of preventive care especially in terms of nutrition. Its why I decided to change from the MD track to RD track. Kudos docs!
I agree with JP III I’ve been put on Oxy after a surgery and honestly the oxy just made me feel good but not in the good way. It really didn’t decrease my pain while Tylenol did.
Dr. Mike, your channel never fails to keep me informed and always reaffirms or introduces what I learn in my college classes!
I have a hot take for you. Too many times doctors don't listen to their patients or just dismiss what they are saying. They either think of them as numbers or just a paycheck. I am speaking from experience. I can't count how many times I've been gaslit or just brushed off by doctors.
I loved seeing Dr Siobhan in this video, I’ve always watched her videos since 2nd year of residency
Glad to see that some of these doctors are giving a nod to nutrition as worthy of consideration as part of a patient’s treatment.
I’m an Anaesthesiologist in Brazil and I really enjoy your content, Dr Mike! Keep it up! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I remember watching the "Ice Man" (Wim Hof) documentary on his extreme ability to withstand cold and train others to do the same. That isn't completely without merit in its benefits, as he was able to train people to do things that would normally make them go into hypothermia.
I’d like for Dr. Mike to have Dr. Huberman on his podcast to talk about cold plunge, heat shock protein, and other podcast related things. Make it happen Dr Mike.
I don't know what the study is, but I know how I feel when I take a cold shower after the sauna.
Why do people need to prove things when they can actually try it themselves and listen to their body. We all are built different and we react differently to things.
This social media war who is right or wrong is so dumb...
I was going to say the same thing. Dr. Huberman wrong 😏. Don’t think so
agreed, i want to see this conversation too!
@@pascalterbeek Huberman is frequently wrong for clicks. Uses a lot of non-replicated studies and poorly understood mechanisms. He promotes useless supplements like AG1. Overall not a reliable source.

I think cold plunges can work great as a psychological booster. Sort of like placebo, you just feel better and believe that you have accomplished something. Overcome doing something uncomfortable, I think we should look at cold plunges in a more psychological way.
Thank you all for your hard work and great informations! And thank you dr. mike for your amazing videos, you're such an inspiration💗
7:03 I really don't like how people ignore the fact that this is genuinely really really hard for some people to keep themselves from doing... like as someone with sensory issues, ocd, adhd, I barely even have a choice
OMG CONGRATS TO THE VIOLIN MD FOR PRACTICING NOW!!! I remember watching her when she was still doing student content iirc (apologies if I'm misremembering)
I agree so much with the last point mentioned about nutrition.
I think it is way too hard to for most people to learn effectively about nutrition.
There are so many misconceptions as well that just get repeated without thinking about it.
I could watch an hour + of this type of video. More please, thank you Doctor Mike and medical squad.
I could watch an hour + of this type of video. More please, thank you Doctor Mike and medical squad.
I'm a med student and I had a full 2 hour lecture specifically on nutrition + a third of biochemistry was dedicated to metabolism of nutrients (which is 40 hours+ of lectures + all the time we had to study it at home).
I'm not sure whether this is a specific US issue (I'm from Europe) or it's just that doctors don't remember their first years of med school.
I will say, the biochemistry of anabolic/catabolic processes is not necessarily the same as nutrition, at least, I don't think in the context they meant it? I assume they meant like, knowledge of how to actually get those nutrients from the grocery store into our bodies for our enzymes to go to town on, haha. And that is about the science of which foods are higher in which nutrients, in what forms those nutrients are bioavailable, but also the socioeconomic and psychological factors creating an easier/harder time accessing a healthy diet. Considering it takes a master's degree to become a registered dietician, I know full well that when I am a doctor, I won't be able to cover everything and will rely on dietician colleagues!
@@Emily-hd9sm Oh, definitely biochem did not teach us everything there is to know, but generally speaking every time we've touched on new category of molecules, we've talked extensively about not just how they behave in the body, but how to get them in.
Like when we were talking about carbs, we've done practical tests on how different foods affect blood glucose over time, we've talked about how fructose and sugar substitutions goes into metabolism and rough composition of those sugars in different foods.
After all that I'm definitely not qualified to give advice on specific diets for specific conditions (and I don't really think medschools should be teaching this specific thing when there are specialities that focus on that) but roughly looking at a diet of a relatively healthy patient and being able to give advice on that is something that has been incorporated into our curriculum
Not sure about what doctors have to learn, but nurses learn that so I assume doctors do as well. I think it's more important to continue updating your knowledge about these things and don't get stuck in the rut of just doing your job, which I firmly believe most doctors and nurses do.
7:25 My medical hot take: Nutritionists don't know much about nutrition either. Because nutrition, like everything else is studied statistically, but in the real world is too much influenced, more than anything, by characteristics specifics to the individual. It is very hard to generalize anything having to do with nutrition, so scientific progress in the field stalled.
When I went to medical school in 1980, we had nutrition incorporated into each and every diagnostic topic and it continued throughout residency. It became a standard part of the curriculum many years ago!
Hot take: Here in America, we need to be a LOT more strict about allergens in factories, restaurants, and more. I’ve had allergic reactions because an allergy label said “Ingredients of peanuts” instead of actual nuts. I’ve also had countless reactions because of facilities that aren’t cleaned enough to avoid cross-contamination. I also went to Ireland recently, and every single restaurant I went into had a label of what allergens were in every single meal they offered. People forget that allergies can be fatal. This is a matter of life and death we’re talking about. With this system in place, I believe allergic reactions and deaths occurring from them will be significantly lower.
Yes, and what's more, I would like us to avoid removing foods from the diet of pregnant women. Some food like shellfish might carry dangerous bacteria, but many others (like nuts) are avoided during pregnancy, which can actually lead to the development of allergies in their children. This is because under-exposure in utero to things not commonly eaten by our pre-agrarian ancestors can trigger an immune response when we finally are exposed.
@@yunamac-mn4bdhe has an intolerance, not an allergy, to be an allergy you have to go into shock and throat swells and all that, just getting a rash is an intolerance
@@yunamac-mn4bd no you didn’t, you said low level allergy isn’t always life threatening. If something is low level it’s not an allergy, it’s an intolerance. It’s only an allergy once it is able to kill you
@@halloweenfan158Allergies can be mild. I get an allergic reaction if I eat crab: I get a rash if I eat it, but no breathing difficulties. On the other hand I can get potentially life-threatening anaphylactic shock from eating nuts.
Im genuinely curious, what did you think "ingredients of peanuts" meant? also what DOES ingredients of peanuts mean? isnt it just peanut its one ingredient?
5:08 real gold of the video
Actually… coming from a chronic pain patient…. Hot and cold (not ice baths) just cold water. Going back and forth helps with my nerve pain.
I’ve got a hot take: build up of lactic acid does NOT cause muscle soreness. What we refer to as “muscle soreness” is usually delayed onsent muscle soreness (DOMS) which is the soreness you feel a day or two after a workout. Lactic acid was proven to not cause DOMS because while it does build up during exercise, it clears out of the body before DOMS actually occurs. Right now that soreness is believed to caused by micro tears in the muscle
I always thought that lactic acid was the reason for the immediate soreness of the muscles, and anything else was the micro muscles tears
I remember learning in school about lactic acid for the immediate tireness.
Maybe i misremembered and that caused me to end up knowing the correct info, or it might just be syllabus diffence or teacher
Isn’t this common knowledge?
@@socire72 I think it’s starting to become more common knowledge but the problem is that there was a misconception about this for a long time, so a lot of people still think lactic acid is what causes DOMS
Lactic Acid fermentation does cause soreness in your calves at least. It’s a biochemical process and it’s breaking down compounds to release glucose when the amount of glucose released by respiration does not suffice
love these vids with input from so many docs. its like little shots of info. also i remember in my studies (psychology) there were some info coming from research that meditaion and mindfulness practices in patients with hallucinations and delusions might make the condition worse :/
love how Mama Doctor Jones came out with how women get different acknowledgments from male patients Doctors wouldn't blame a man's weight, or hormones or tell them they are being neurotic or it is all in their head gender shouldn't predict a patient support level when they have a health concern I have had this experience whenever I see my doctor.
I love when people embrace their greys ♥️ Your hair looks great Dr Mike!!! Silver fox
5:00 I wonder if this doctor likes to dabble in a little LSD here and there 🤣
Dabble? He sounds like a hippie fiend 🤣🤣🤣
Completely illogical + isnt even a hot take
I’m a physical therapist and my (very biased) hot take is that we are the least-valued providers in terms of pay, especially considering our role in keeping people moving, living longer, and off of opioids.
I’m an Athletic Trainer, and my hot take that I tell all my athletes is that if they take something for pain before practice or a game (which I always discourage), then they should take acetaminophen (Tylenol) rather than ibuprofen because the blood thinner properties of IBU can make an injury worse, especially in a contact sport, and especially in those with high risk of head injuries like American football.
My hottest medical take is: We have to push policy makes to address the social inequalities in our society so we can make headway with many endemic deseases and conditions that are causing a major strain on the healthcare system. How can we expect people to take care of themseves and prevent desease when they are facing so much adversity and dont have access to the time or money to live a healthy life? Fighting back against dysfunctional cultural norms is also top priority, particularly overworking like Dr Jake pointed out, and the never-enough attitude of a profit driven society.
I honestly think that education systems all over the world should have a health class that covers things like puberty, reproduction, exercise, nutrition, basic first aid, and mental health. Also, the things taught in the curriculum should be as up to date with current medical research/studies as possible, and taught as young as is reasonable (particularly the puberty stuff).
My doctors love me because I see my health as my responsibility. Taking ownership is keeping me healthy into my later years. It’s on you to take care of you!
I 100% agree with the Ibuprofen take. I had 2nd degree burns after a motorcycle accident and was prescribed some strong pain killers. I found Advil to do just as much good, if not more good, than the ones I was prescribed.
In my case, I'm missing my entire large intestine. For the past 7-8 years I've had flareups, ulcers, and nasty inflammation. Once a month, I'd burn, bleed, nausea and worse from how bad the flareups got, sometimes lasting up to an entire week straight. The doctors tried enemas, suppositories, oral medications, but nothing worked until, as a last resort, I was told to get put on over-the-counter probiotics, specifically anything with lactobacillicus.
And now, months later, I have yet to have a single instance of burning, nausea, etc, and the worst flareup I've noticed is just some mild itching instead of the sleep-disrupting, practically-live-on-the-toilet kind of burning I was having. Apparently my intestinal bacteria simply never recovered and I'd been suffering for the past several years when the fix was just that simple...
While yes, probiotics might not be necessary for the vast majority of people, they also aren't 100% mandatory to be prescription-grade strength either when they are.
