I was a clerk with the VP of the AMA in Mass and one morning he played a ZDoggMD video for me and colleague. I was hooked. Hilarious! You’re an influential and talented voice in a sea of nay saying close mindedness. Healthcare 3.0! Let’s get louder.
@@Naxxx.110 inter doctor prescription for drugs. Basically a way to get drugs you want but dont need. As you cant make a script for yourself, you ask a colleague, and they in turn ask you
I love this guy! He is always spot on. I am a healthcare entrepreneur, and I once watched 2 hours (at least) of his videos non-stop. This is the fastest way to learn about our healthcare system - the real world scenario!
Well it's a niche audience that he's targeting healthcare professionals which isn't a bad thing. Just most of his traffic are gonna be those who relate to his material (healthcare workers).
I was very stressed out (and maybe a little burned out). I tried acupuncture and that was not for me! Surprisingly enough dance classes helped my stress levels more than anything!
I love that you threw in EBP! Lol, your name just popped up in my scholarly discussion thread this week by another student in the FNP program. Educational and entertaining, keep it up!!!
Absolutely love it! My go-to song/video after a long day. Love the line on the coffee enema, after just having a friend use one (fail, btw). Zdogg you're the best!
I love your videos they are so funny! If my doctor was half as smart or creative as you maybe I wouldn’t be sitting here with a lung that has collapsed for the 4th time now! Seriously your a genius
Oh man, so good! A successful, evidence based fusion of natural and pharmacological medicines would benefit everyone. What evidence is accepted will be the biggest sticking point on moving forward I think. Has to come from all sides.
Just an FYI - mindfulness and breathing solved my anxiety. Anxiety that was so bad I'd been to the emergency room four times convinced I was having a heart-attack. Is it gone entirely? No, but I can handle it almost all the time. Did it happen overnight? No, I had to practice. The breathing has faster and more noticeable effects (I do the four in, hold for seven, exhale for eight, in sets of four) but the mindfulness is training yourself to think differently and will take longer. If you're suffering from anxiety, don't immediately throw out your meds. Let them be a tool alongside learning to do mindfulness and breathing exercises and you will - I promise, I swear - you will get to the point where you only need the meds rarely, if at all. It honestly, truly works. It teaches your body to react to stress in a different and far more productive way, and if you practice it long enough it literally becomes second nature. A lot of hippie stuff is crap (crystals, etc) but science and medicine are acknowledging that some of it is actually amazingly good for you. Good luck. Anxiety is a motherfucker.
(I know this is an old reply, but I wanted to leave my two cents here) I think he was actually saying there are some evidence based reasoning why some things could work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, for example may very well include similar methods to what you describe. (Such as MCBT, which is called "Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" - He also hints at this being useful for healthcare professionals themselves) See this study: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29606143/ Also this one on the effect for nurses. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26571279/ I'm glad it was working well for you!
Medicine begins in nature. WE begin in nature. We have a veterinarian that offers the best of both worlds - modern DVM and TCVM. I love her. I wish I had a practitioner for my own self that offered as much as she does for animals. Those "More options to trust" are awesome!
My parents took me to a homeo pathic doctor before I went in to have my colon removed they just wanted to be sure that they had covered all their bases before doing something so incredibly drastic. I don't have a colon now but that's OK because I know we did everything we could including looking at quack science to get an answer thank you Z dogg
Ashley Head Thank you for smiling as you say something like that about something I struggled with so much and I honestly didn't ask for an opinion. But that is absolutely false. There is no cure for refractory ulcerative colitis other than colon removal. That's not an opinion, it's medical science.Take care.
Julie Garcia www.forksoverknives.com/plant-based-diet-has-me-winning-my-long-hard-battle-with-ulcerative-colitis/ hmm. really? this is part of the problem with medicine. you think you should believe the doctors. just like my doctors all telling me I can't cure my Hashimoto's Hyprothyroiditis. but I don't believe that. I refuse to just let my body kill my thyroid off and then get on replacement hormonal drugs that I already have to take. just because it isn't modern medicine, doesn't mean it isn't based in scientific research. everything starts as a crazy idea and progresses through tests, collecting data, etc.
Julie Garcia not trying to make light of something difficult, but why is a healthy plant based diet meeting nutritional needs, supplementation, etc always someone's last resort? if I had known what I know now when I was first diagnosed, it would havs been a very different road to recovery for me and I probably wouldn't be where I am now. If someone can benefit from my story, that's my only hope. I refuse to believe we can't let our bodies heal a LOT of the issues we have created. if we fill our kids with crap, they are doomed. if we fill them with good nutrients, they will thrive. it's just crazy that people think I am insane for trying to fix what my body is doing. and yet it isn't crazy to take drugs, workout excessively with no avail, continue to feel terrible, and just mindlessly listen to the doctors who apparently know everything even though they don't... gah.
okay every vegan on the internet. Being a vegan doesn't cure autoimmune diseases. It doesn't. Refer to any BS article you find on the internet that supports your skewed view, it's not true. If that were the case, wouldn't that be common knowledge? You think doctors would rather I died than know your secret? COME ON! Healthy diets (whatever yours consists of) are great and a total part of overall wellness and health, no one disputes that. But to say that if I'd just eaten more plants and less meat I would've been cured is the same as me saying if I'd just believed a little more in Jesus I would be healed.
Will continue to say that "alternative" or "complimentary" medicine is not meant to replace traditional medicine. As long as it's not contraindicated with treatment, though, totally all about integrative care. Mind you, I live in hippy central. Saw some really interesting things involving ischemic strokes and acupuncture during med/surg clinical. Still need large trial studies on it, sure, but I'm not going to dismiss what I saw or dismiss people seeking out other methods when desperate.
I had to smile at your post. You are right on. I had a fall that wracked my right shoulder and the muscle was pushing my shoulder blade to the point of no return. Went to western med, ended up with a sling and fent patch. After a month of no improvement, I went to see the acupuncturist. No more fent, no more pain, no more sling, in three visits I was back good as new (well almost, I am uhm...older now. Point is, it worked and quickly. It made me a believer. I've had a couple of sports injuries and now, I only go to the MD if I can't fix it some other way, course that might just be cause I am a nurse and everyone knows you only see the doc if you are dying! :) Have a great day and thanks for your comment!
I absolutely LOVE that yoga can help me relax a little bit and keep at least some of my range of motion and flexibility and get some sort of exercise (no more CrossFit for me, but I can still do splits like I could at 12) other than my neck and my upper body. Meditation can sometimes take my mind off the pain enough so that I didn't have to take as much of my breakthrough meds - I hate being on 8 different meds including a narcotic, but I'd be completely bedridden without it so I'm stuck with them for now and likely destined for surgery; which is nice because I'd love to get off all these meds someday and finish school so I can possibly open my own Veteran's center. Reiki can provide (despite the criticism) at the very least a more relaxed state of mind or a placebo effect; I've practiced it since my teens and if the problem's mild enough it can relax you and focus your attention somewhere other than the pain or anxiety. I'd never let a chiropractor near me though, my neck is shot and I don't need them sneezing and snapping my discs and vertebra the rest of the way into my spinal cord. Music can also help focus your attention elsewhere and soothe you (go ahead, blast that metal when you're mad or Adele after a breakup or that Pharrell song when you're happy - sing your feelings out aggressively - it'll help, trust me) and focus you. I saw a few studies on music and my grandmother loves it when I play cello music for her like she used to listen to - she's got severe dementia and is non-verbal, so she can get pretty agitated; and she really seems to calm down a lot if you play her music if she hasn't gotten too agitated yet - now the staff lets her listen to music as part of her therapy after my aunt and I suggested it. Just don't deafen the neighbors ;) At extreme least, trying complementary medicine at least means you tried less extreme measures before moving on to more invasive treatment. I feel so long as you're not delaying care and what you're trying isn't dangerous (homeopathy or chiro) or illegal (marijuana until it's federally legalized for medical use), it's at least worth a shot so you can say you tried everything.
I love this song so much. @.@ Like I'm a bit a of hippie, but I vaccinate the crap out of myself and go to the doctor when my teas don't fix me. Ginger tea is really good for the throat. ^_^ My soul is rainbows and tie dyed unicorns in space.
I'm a fun mix of both. Like I wouldn't be alive without albuterol and Trelegy but I'm all about boosting my immune system with whole foods and some hippy shit....its all about moderation lol
You probably overdid it. Tried advanced things too early. There are modifications to make it easier on beginners. Hell, now there are elderly yoga classes, and ones for the severely obese.
Fantastic video, but in part are you confusing "hippies" for "new agers?", Hippies listen to the Great ful Dead, New Agers like Easy Listening. But once, again great video!
I have been an RN for 30 yrs, and I am still impressed by our bodies physiological response's to a simple deep breath.
I still hear this version in my head whenever the original comes on the radio lol
Better lyrics, lol. (And same here, still after years). And every time I see "homeopathic" on something, I hear that line in my head....

It's very reassuring to see such an intelligent and influential MD with such an open mind. Much love from this hippie nurse!

how do not have millions of subscribers? your videos are amazing!! ♥️
He does on Facebook.

LOVE FROM THE HIPPIE NURSE !
I love that you make fun of both sides.
Showing this to the new PsyD in the pain management dept. This covers everything we gab about! Love it!
I cannot express in words how much I love this video!
You're amazing, ZDogg!
I was very stressed out (and maybe a little burned out). I tried acupuncture and that was not for me! Surprisingly enough dance classes helped my stress levels more than anything!
Not surprising at all. It's about whatever works (safely). :)
Riley Mcnamara Lol found zumba 6 years ago and never looked back. after a stressful shift my mantra is "gotta get to zumba gotta get to zumba"
I always find myself singing along with your songs and the lyrics. Great stuff
my wife and i LOOVE you. we're both in the medical field and it's kind of a stress reliver to watch your viedos and have a good laugh 😁
Love it!! A little yin, a little yang. Well done Z!
I love this song and your version made me cackle out loud and startle the dogs.
OMG!!! I just lost it at 2:45! phenomenal!!!👍👍👍
as usual ZDOGG makes better videos than the originals
on point as usual
Dude you are so great at parodies, I hope you never stop!
my fave of all your music videos
This song & video makes me want to find the nearest meadow to run through!! Big ups, Z!
Just wowww. You are incredible ! As a medical intern and a mindfullness lover, I am well served :)
I love that you threw in EBP! Lol, your name just popped up in my scholarly discussion thread this week by another student in the FNP program. Educational and entertaining, keep it up!!!
"POP IT" hahahah! Yes!!!!!! Well done!
Another awesome video. Blow up already! (your channel, not you, never you)
+Kasea Amodt haha that would be too easy. TH-cam makes you work for the love!
We love you, Doc!
On POINT!!!
Absolutely love it! My go-to song/video after a long day. Love the line on the coffee enema, after just having a friend use one (fail, btw). Zdogg you're the best!
Healer, heal thyself. 💕 Love this one!!
I love your videos they are so funny! If my doctor was half as smart or creative as you maybe I wouldn’t be sitting here with a lung that has collapsed for the 4th time now! Seriously your a genius
OMG!! I just LOVE you! These songs are brilliant 😊
Fantastic video. Ur one of my favorite TH-cam channels
Love it! I'm currently in yoga teacher training school and even my non medical friends enjoyed this video!
I've watched this so many times now and I can say, with relative certainly, that it's to see ZDoggMD running with a kite behind him.
Oh man, so good!

The irony is, if some natural treatment is shown to work, it pretty quickly becomes a part of traditional medicine.
Love it. I think too many of us concentrate on the treatment and not the CARE we are giving our patients.

I am sending you both to the social work office for some evidenced based CBT.
everytime heathens comes on the radio, I mix these lyrics in and I eventually just switch it to bluetooth and play this parody lol
Are you planning to make a CD, or put your parodies/PSAs on iTunes? I would love to buy them!
never mind just found them on iTunes.
BBAAAHAHAHHAHAA "Homeopathy's still BS though.." Hilarious, with truth mixed in. Need a nurse on your crew? :D
this is the best!!!!!!!
There you go again, Z! 😉. Always in your corner.
I'm glad I continued watching all the way through! Pharmaceutical drugs are the problem with modern-day America!
I love this.
you so Fucking get it man.... an looks like you have a strong creative team
Brilliant
Freaking awesome!
Thank You! So on Point
Awesome video, Mind-body practices work but a person needs to find what works for them. Evidence based data might be tricky to get #health3.0
This is great
great video
how can I get this song??

I like the look of crystals and the smell of essential oils but I'm not thick headed I know they won't cure anything lol
I try to get my ER nurses to start being true heroes getting the meds the story from EMS or family LKW
