I knew a girl who'd eat raw garlic in the morning and I once asked her, "you know you can chop that up and throw it in an omelet right?" She was flabbergasted.
OH MY GOSH U USED FLABBERGASTED!!! ur amazing
Roast garlic is my family's favorite snack 😂 I don't know how much a person can eat, sometimes they ask me to cook more
@@NessieNice Roast garlic is definitely a top tier snack. Im more of a sautéed zucchini kinda guy tho
Raw is better. Best with Ssamjang.

"We don't fix patients. Patients fix themselves"
This is why I like Dr. Mike
Exactly! "Patients fix themselves!" I don't get why he is so mad over the placebo treatments like the potato.
Alexander the potato is not real. Wth are you saying???
edit: DANNGGGGGGGG I GOT 24 LIKES ALREADY?? TYYYYY I CANT TYPE.
Ccc
@@dani-ll6hn It's more real than homeopathy. I mean you can make vodka from it. Or memes. Or vodka memes...
Or I didn't know.
That tape over the mouth things scares me. My mom snores horrifically, whenever my family is on a vacation or something and I can hear her snoring it's like all I want is for it to stop, but the second it does I sit up in a panic and have to check if she is still breathing.
i’m pretty sure thats sleep apnea
Definitely have your mom go to the doctor and see if she has sleep apena. Undiagnosed sleep apena will shorten her life by YEARS!
@@TChalla616What? How
@@stannisthemannis4199 People with sleep apena have a much higher rate of cardiovascular diseases, and stroke. It also causes daytime sleepiness which could contribute to a higher rate of motor vehicle accidents. In other words sleep apena wreaks havoc on your heart, and over time stresses it out to the point of early failure.
That could be sleep apnea itll shorten her life span and can be quite serious. Get her checked tf out
@7:05 When my mom was in for cancer treatments, her room was right next to the nurses station. I decided to stay the night with her because she didn't want to be alone. She said she kept getting woken up through out the night so I felt if she had some company she would be ok. Through out the entire night I stayed, we were both constantly woken up by the nurses station having their personal phones alerting them to new TikTok videos, having loud gossip fests, and this lasted from 11pm until 8am and now my mom and I both have a permanent fear of phone noises. True alert fatigue at it's finest.
i had to stay in the hospital bc i broke my back(its not bad just a small crack i can still walk) at about 5am i would hear nurses making coffee and talking with each other in the other room, sometimes watching tiktoks on their phones or just other background noise
at about 4-6am they would check my temperature then it starts to become hard to sleep bc the room barely had any blinds so i covered my eyes with my blanket
sometimes my back would hurt a lot making it even harder to sleep
also hows your mom now? my mom also had cancer treatment in 2019 she survived it cancer is gone
One night of dealing with noise has given you a "permanent fear of phone noise"? Sounds like you need to touch grass..
@SamIAm10262 Being deprived of sleep in an unfamiliar environment in a prolonged high-stress situation? I can't stand alarm noises that I've used for too long, so this sounds pretty reasonable to me. I think that perhaps the judgy contrarian among us should touch grass instead.
@@SamIAm10262 phonophobia is the fear of all sudden noises or loud noises. Research before you wreck the comments
I would have complained to the nurse supervisor about that. Your only job as a patient while in the hospital is to rest and focus on healing. Sleep is incredibly important for that process. If they can't keep their personal phones quiet then they need to ban them from the area.
Honestly respect to this man for fighting misinformation with such enthusiasm and persistence.
Not when he also pushes misinformation. Cheers

"We don't fix patients they fix themselves" most honest thing I ever heard out of a medical professionals mouth.
As a pharmacist Intern I agree. It's like the saying "You can bring a horse to water but you can't force it to drink.". Getting help and following the directions given by the health care professional is ultimately the patients choice.
"I grow fruit and vegetables."
"No you don't."
Doctors are the rythm correctors to our blood circulation. The heart does the work well, and cuz the heart might have issues, the rythm corrector shocks it back into correct beat when abnormal.
@@PhantomFilmAustralia Yeah, they force them to.
I'm an EFL teacher, and that's kind of true of language teachers, too. The students that will learn the language the best are the ones that speak it with their friends, watch TV and movies in that language, and regularly use it outside of class. I seriously doubt if there's a single person on Earth who learned a language exclusively through what was taught in the classroom.
7:00 - 7:25 "Alarm fatigue" almost got me killed once. I used to live in a fairly seedy neighborhood, I was in college and broke and it was all I could afford, and I didn’t have a car so I walked everywhere. All summer long it was 90°+ so I wore shorts/skirts, and all summer long people were constantly honking their horns and catcalling me. Eventually I ended up learning to tune out the sound of car horns and yelling from cars. One day I was walking and someone started honking and yelling, and ofc I ignored it thinking it was just another catcall, but it turned out they were trying to warn me a drunk driver had jumped the curb and was driving very fast up the sidewalk behind me. The only reason I didn't get hit was because they hit a light pole before they could hit me. It was very scary and very eye-opening, and it's one of the major reasons why I yell at people so ferociously for honking and catcalling now
Man, I never thought about the possibility of something like this happening... I never really go outside alone so I've only been catcalled once. I'm sorry that you've had to deal with that and I'm glad you're okay!
imagine the confusion on a robber's face when they break into your home and see that you taped your own mouth shut.
like, I know there are other concerns in that moment. But can you just...imagine?
Omg lol
What I learned today:
-- the stomach is in your cheeks
-- potatoes are bad
-- garlic is good
-- avocadoes should go on your feet
Thanks doctor Mike! ☺

My dad could not breathe through his nose for a prolonged period of time. Luckily, his friend is an ENT and had him come in for an exam. He had a cancerous tumor that was blocking his nasal passage. Luckily he listened to doctors instead of TikTokers and got it checked out.

"You immediately know whats wrong with you when you drink your own pee in the morning"
He aint wrong there.
4:37, that's my friend Prescott!!! It's awesome every time we find a KRplus or Tik Tok clip of it!!!!! I think it's been 5-8 years and we're still finding them.
For the questions that always come after:
yes, he still has the helmet for sentimental value; no, he did not suffer long-term damage from the fall; yes, he does wear a helmet EVERY SINGLE competition, but not always for basic road, yes always for ramps, bowls, tricks etc..; yes he still skates religiously today.
Other videos you can find of him are fun skate and hand slide videos, pretty roads and steep hills type; so, sorry, but no there aren't a bunch of Steve-o style videos of trying to hurt himself 😆
Really cool dude and is the first to tell people not to be an idiot, and wear your helmet so you can keep skating longer.
You know he's a good, reliable doctor by how stressed he gets about silly things. That's passion.
Yea
5:35 I love how she included DEPRESSION as a PARASITE or a symptom thereof. Thank you tiktok lady, I had no idea 80% of people have depression caused by parasites. Turns out, I've probably been taking the wrong medication, and taking therapy for no reason since the problem is that I have parasites.
IDK, parasites that cause fatigue (like hookworm) could def be considered to have depression as a symptom. It's hard not to be depressed when you have no energy to take care of yourself, esp if you don't know why you are suffering. And with the gut/brain connection only just being understood there's plenty of room to consider how parasites might effect mood. But that doesn't mean they can say that everyone who has depression can be *assumed* to also have parasites, that's totally *backwards*... Esp now that most people live in conditions sanitary enough to prevent issues like hookworm I wouldn't imagine most medical professionals are going to jump to parasites for a patient who is presenting with depression and isn't, you know, using an outhouse barefoot or eating raw game or any other obvious environmental risk factors.
Human parasites in your life can cause depression.
Better get on those papaya seeds!!!
Day 33 of hitting my ankles with a scooter on purpose-until I cry😂 I no longer feel pain
3:33 I just use mr clean on my skin also butter and olive oil salt nice clean look at the end 😂 👌👌🧑🏻🦲
I have that neck roller thing and it feels really good. My skin doesn't get pinched, but sometimes my hair gets caught. You just have to make sure your hair is completely out of the way. It's definitely worth a try.
thanks. came to the comments to find this one. looking it up now.
I just did the exact same thing lmao- its a necessity @@maryellen9503
but does it work for your neck tho? I know this sounds dumb but there is a difference when somethings feels good and when it actually works
@@youngcollector4212doesn’t sound dumb.. for me, it works when my neck is really sore after I’ve been sitting looking down for too long. I have some craft hobbies that require me to look down and really concentrate and I’m terrible about making sure I take breaks and stretch. So afterwards, I’ll use this to message the soreness and stiffness away. It definitely helps in that way. I wouldn’t expect it to help much if I had an injury or some kind of chronic issue.
the amount of enthusiasm mike has when correcting misinformation is amazing, also his yelling is hilarious
Dr. Mike, thank you for shedding light on the crazy quackery that is unfortunately everywhere. When I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma my neighbor tried very hard to talk me out of doing chemotherapy and try some weird concoction using apricot seeds. She was adamant that I was likely going to die if I went with conventional western medicine. I didn't listen to her and I'm happy to say 13 years later I'm here cancer free.
Congratulations on being cancer-free for 13 years! My uncle had a similar situation to this. He was feeling sick recently and his neighbor gave him a concoction that she said worked for her father when he had the same symptoms. Turns out he was having a problem with his gaul bladder and her concoction was making it worse, so he eventually had to get it removed. Some people are just insane.
Congratulations :)
I'm glad you are still with us! I know some people just totally loose balance, wester medicine has hurt a lot of families, but it has also saved a lot of families, nothing is one size fits all. Here is to many more years for you!
I was diagnosed follicula non hodgkin's lymphoma 11yrs ago no treatment still here, I won't be having TREATMENT NO CURE,GOD BLESS YOU HOPE YOU STAY HEALTHY.
That's so dangerous! I'm glad you didn't listen.
Mike's fashion aesthetic getting progressively darker and darker from when he was wearing just plain, light blue scrubs to now in all black has me thinking the misinformed internet is forcing him to start his villain origin story.
I love this comment!!! Best one so far!!! He really is on the verge🤪
@@lenaokubajo9685 Every outburst he has, I hold my breath a little and wait for the villain to emerge. 💀
Now he just needs sunglasses and a bad German accent
Omg yesss this 😂❤
dr. mike villain era but he just breaks into these people's houses and steals their router so they have a much harder time posting misinformation
3:49 I’be on board with this except when I was diagnosed with Crohn’s, the doctor prescribed me Lialda and said “this really won’t do anything for Crohn’s” That’s when I became disillusioned with the medical system. She KNEW it didn’t work and felt no need to ask herself the question of why she was prescribing it.
Lmao I love when he freaks out on the detox/parasite cleanse routines 😂 I legitimately have a giardia parasite infection right now and my response was “meh…it’ll resolve on its own eventually” 😂😂😂
I LOVE how passionate Mike is about medicine, science and facts. We need more doctors like this.
but do you LOVE HELMETS?
@@hoomantay i LOVE HELMETS.
And I like how he is funny at the same time
I also love how passionate he is about partying on a boat during c0vid 19
I had dangue fever and i was in the ICU and there were so many beeps and alarm tones just going off
I had low platelet and gum bleed and as soon as I finally slept i choked on a small amount of blood and the doctors came rushing pulled the curtains and looked at the moniter and they were asking me questions and if i was awake
Scariest night of my life
I love your comment “We don’t fix patients. They fix themselves.” I went to the doctor six moths ago and found out I had very high blood pressure and was at risk for heart attack or stroke. I started actually paying attention to what I ate, started eating 1,500 mg of sodium a day and only 25 grams of added sugar a day, started eating healthier and stopped eating out, started walking daily and going to the gym three days a week. Now I’ve lost 45 pounds and my blood pressure is excellent. Without the doctor though I wouldn’t have known there was an issue.
Exactly! Doctors are wonderful and the work they do is fantastic, but at the end of the day they find the problem and it’s up to us to listen to their advice and use that advice to allow our bodies to do what it needs to do to get healthy. Even after surgeries the biggest part of that is to let your body rest so that it can begin healing itself as efficiently as possible!
😊😊 please a and
I was on a similar road. Morbid obesity, terrible eating habits, no exercise. Nearly stroked out at 34. Huge wake-up call. I still struggle with weight, but I haven't had fast food since 2017, cut WAY back on sodas and alcohol, started walking more (thanks Pokémon GO), and now I beat Diabetes II and have a resting heart rate under 70 bpm.
1,500mg of sodium? Is that a typo? 1,500 is a still a lot. I assume you meant 500mg?
@@vanessagoddess1 "The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams (mg) a day and moving toward an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg per day for most adults." 1500 mg = 150 cg = 15 dg = 1.5 g
That aggressive sassy clapping in the beginning... LOVE LOVE IT.
the video at 9:04 is likely someone getting a scleral/gas-permeable rigid contact removed. Since they're hard like glass/plastic, they need a special suction tool to remove and sometimes the suction can be so set that trying to remove the lense pulls on your actual eye. In this case, you're supposed to take the plunger and angle it at the bottom of the contact so you can break the seal against your eye.
Source: I have Keratoconus and use scleral contacts to see.
4:38 This man is a legend. Rather than whining about his fall, he was just super glad he had a helmet haha. That was a super hard fall too, that helmet did a lot of work.
When youve fall like that you know the helmet saved your life -experience in falling on my face
so true, really wholesome to see tbh
I love the fact that the most replayed section of the video is exactly the timestamp you put because people reading the comments always click it and go there, lol
@@Asdfboy_ I didnt even realize this comment blew up lol
I knew someone that cracked his bicycle helmet in half before. Twice actually. Definitely saved his life.
I love how passionate Dr. Mike gets about his patients with insomnia. As someone with awful insomnia, it's so nice to hear a doctor say that it's not something you can just fix with a life hack or two
It took me into my mid 30s to learn that I'm just _extremely_ photosensitive, so investing in proper blackout curtains & moving everything with a glow or even single diode (like the modem + router) out of my bedroom cured the insomnia episodes & constant shallow+poor-quality sleep rhythms I'd struggled with since I was a small child. Sometimes it's that simple, but often it's not.
Ppl who swear their life hack will solve someone's sleep-condition cheese me right off. It's so dismissive.
Yep. Not all about the pills or zzz studies.
I truly feel for those that have trouble sleeping. I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Hypersomnia with long sleep cycles, so the complete opposite problem. I wouldn't wish either hypersomnia nor insomnia on anyone. My husband suffers from insomnia and he tells me all the time, "I wish I could just fall asleep like you do." I keep trying to tell him that no, he does not, because falling asleep at a red light or while working [just a couple examples] is not a good thing.
same!! I have chronic insomnia due to my PTSD and the only way I can get any restful sleep is taking THC edibles before bed. "just tape your mouth" is such bullshit.
@@MsAubrey I also get that response a lot as someone else with Idiopathic Hypersomnia, so I completely understand. It's nowhere near as nice as some people think it is.
This is a good example of the type of misinformation we need to teach our kids about. This is a new age of unprecedented change and quite challenging to navigate for the average adult, even more so for our children.
I can understand why some people want the Internet banned and while that's not going to happen, we do well in acknowledging the dangers of unfiltered access to all the bad actors on social media and the Internet in general.
Garlic as an antibiotic immediately followed by a probiotic is also unintentionally hilarious
As an asthmatic the advice to tape my mouth shut while I sleep almost qualifies as attempted murder 😂

Its less about remembering names, its more about understanding the root words of those names. You can guess many medical terms if you just happen to have learned a few and the prefixes, suffixes, etc.

The second tiktok is a tradition from Catalunya (a region in Spain), they are called "castellers" which translates to castle builders. They create different structures, such as the ones in the video, and they are street performances that happen during important dates. There are also competitions of these, where different town's castellers will meet in a major square. There, the goal is to create a structure like the one in the video, have the "enxaneta" (which is the person that goes on top, a child with a helmet) climb to the top, raise their hand in the air, and take the figure down without falling. The team that creates the most difficult structure wins.

I had blisters that size on both of my feet once. On the bottoms. 🤕 I had worn new boots to the first day of school, but by the end of the day my feet were raw, bleeding, and swollen. I couldn't reach anyone by phone for a ride (this was pre-cellphones) and couldn't wear the shoes, so I had to walk home barefoot on hot cement and asphalt well over 100°F. Not something I ever want to repeat!
Mike I love you! Honestly! I love the way you express yourself and it looks like you have an amazing bedside manner. But the reality is I work for EMS and I have lost faith in our health system.

About a year ago my grandmother (who lives in a state far away from us; we are all in India) told us that she could feel a lump in her breast. True to much of Indians of that generation she chose to go to a homeopathic doctor. Not only did the doctor not order any tests beyond a physical exam, he prescribed bullshit medicines and gaslit her and my aunt into agreeing with him that the size was reducing. Fortunately I met her about a month after this "treatment" and immediately upon looking and feeling it myself; booked an appointment with a gynaecologist. It turned out to be stage 2 cancer with three negatives. Complex case but after a lumpectomy, many rounds of chemo and radiation, she is all clear and healthy now. It honestly frustrates me that there is quite a possibility that the treatment could have been less severe for her had she gone to a proper doctor a month before, but nevertheless, she is good now.
Respect to u for being able to write such a long story
@@mushroomgal5871So you don’t care that he’s grandmother got stage two cancer

"How are we still alive after thousands of years without 'detoxing our bodies'"
To hear a doctor this sarcastic gives me hope for the future of medicine.
Oh my goodness. Thank you for saying patients need rest to recover. 5 years ago I spent 30 hours in intense, traumatic labor and the staff wouldn't let me sleep afterwards. I was constantly being harassed with nurses giving meds, taking vitals, hospital management, etc. I even had people come in to ask about payment methods. I wanted to scream and cry by the end of it. And it went on for 4 days because of complications. The trauma of that experience was horrific.
Similar thing happened to me in the icu after a very severe car accident. I told all of my nurses and doctors, if I don't ring the bell, let me rest. After a few days of me being a constant prick they finally got the picture and I was able to rest whenever I felt I could.
The vitals and meds are important too
Just found this channel and am laughing so hard hearing you debunk the sort of nonsense I can only froth and rant about myself.
I did a home sleep study, sleep apnea wasn't diagnosed, because it was inconclusive. I have a deviated septum, and my heart burn gets bad enough to where it effects my nose, thus making me "stuffy." I have to breathe through my mouth when sleeping.
When I first started watching Doctor Mike I thought his suffering was funny. Now I suffer with him.

@@user-vn1yo3gy4c Of course they are; why wouldn't they be? 😁
because dry ice is tasty. i know from experience. @@Cheap-Gaming
As a person who suffered from huge polyps since basically 6 years old, and only figured it out at 21, and suffer from allergies daily, AND insomnia. I appreciate you so much for debunking so many health frauds on TikTok, only If I could meet you sooner in life maybe I could take care of myself better since my parents couldn't. ♥
My mom has a severe deviation to her septum. Has her whole life and always breathes from her mouth. She ended up getting a rhinoplasty to ‘’try ‘’ and fix and widen , well that ended up not working and the surgeon did more damage to it and ended up developing sleep apnea from the damage. Had to get another Dr to check her out and he saw the damage that was done and it wasn’t worth going back in to repair it and he said because of this it caused the sleep apnea. It sucks as she’s now been on a cpap for over 20 plus years now all because she was told the surgery will fix her nose and make her breathe easily and from her nose.
@@brandiehammond I'm sorry your Mum went through that. That surgeon was clearly not the caliber of doctor that Dr. Mike is because he made false promises.
@@brandiehammond That is very sad, because sometimes a rhinoplasty can fix a deviated septum and help.
I used to live in Dubai. There is a spice market there, and every store sells saffron with claims that say “Saffron increases your sexual potential” and “saffron decreases your risk of heart disease and cancer by 50%”. I need Dr Mike to react to this.
What dr mike said about the alarm was exactly what happened to me. I would set an alarm when I really didn’t need to get up and would constantly snooze. Then I’d sleep threw my alarm regularly.
Dr. Mike literally saved my life. I had C Diff and the only reason I went in was because Dr. Mike had said in one if his videos having the runs and throwing up at the same time is never good.
That's crazy I got cdiff last year. It took almost a month to get diagnosed and it took three rounds of antibiotics to heal
there’s this book that mentions c diff - called turtles all the way down. Totally random but you should read it
C diff is really painful. My mom had it twice. I hope you’re feeling better now.
@@thedoremegirlit’s crazy how different peoples bodies can be. you cleared your c.diff my taking antibiotics. i got c.diff bc i was taking TOO MUCH antibiotics from years of chronic sinus infections. i had to get an injection to clear it and i get it every time i take antibiotics for more than a couple of days.
Um, I only really throw up when both ends are spasming. My body is kinda held together with the medical equivalent of duct tape and hope(titanium screws and optimism?). I'm a bit of a freak that can't die in spite of how many times my body has tried to shut down.
I love the Alzheimers/stroke/brain problems one because I have frontal lobe seizures and cerebellar dysplasia (meaning my brain is absolutely NOT healthy) but I can do that little trick lmao
BUT you don't have Alzheimer's xD
10:04 I had a tropical fungus on my feet when young from wearing sandals outside, was itchy small blisters at first then turned into spotted blisters covering my big toes and others infected. Was gold by a military doctor that was deployed in tropical areas not to rupture them unless the fluid was sucked out by a syringe because it would cause the fungus to spread.
my mum is an acupuncturist and recently (2-3 months ago) she had this patient and my mum was so sure that there was something wrong with her and kept telling her to go to the doctor about and eventually she went to a+e with her daughter and found out she had cancer but it was too late (rest in peace)
I'd really love to get a thorough breakdown of why you get dark circles under your eyes when you don't get enough sleep.
I believe it’s actually just from rubbing your eyes when you’re tired. The skin around your eyes is really thin and your eyes get dry when you’re tired so you rub them more so, especially if you haven’t been getting enough sleep for multiple nights, it can cause some bruising basically which you can see through the under eye skin because it is so thin.
@@crabbii4365 that, and lack of sleep contributes to paler skin under the eyes which cause blood vessels to appear more prominently
@@heatherrose9709 Also, genetics. From early childhood on I always had those circles.
My son gets dark circles when his iron is low. Yes, this was confirmed by his pediatrician.
Yessssss!!!
As someone with insomnia, I really appreciate you talking about how harmful "best sleep you've ever had" hacks are.
I work security in a hospital, and our outside panic buttons always have big spiders and webs in them. It is a design flaw.
3:50 - Mike I LOVE YOU!!! From an upcoming nurse 😊 I learn so much and I used to be such a “health freak” and then I just realize some of it is just nonsense.
Sam laugh in background and Mike getting pissed on stupid stuff is highlight of my day🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a nephew of a nurse, I react exactly like Mike.
As a person with common f€%king sense, I also react like Mike.
Ignorant people sharing fake facts pisses me off😂
1:15
I basically watched that video, so many long words like pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, and theres an ad from the TV called "Acetaminelefrenocinnamon" and "Acetaminebrefintlefrenocinnamon"
Don't forget "vitameatavegimen" that Lucy pimped.
Thank you Mike, after watching that video I feel really happy and grateful that I'm healthy, some of those conditions looked nasty!
I want to thank you for saying that hospitals should set aside time for patients to actually rest. My mom has ended up in the hospital a few times, and at one they kept waking her up every few hours, she wasn't getting any sleep, and when she complained, they actually told her hospitals weren't places for getting sleep. Isn't sleep deprivation counterintuitive for healing?
Usually patients have to be rotated every 2-3 hours so they won’t get bed sores. That could have been the reason for all the disruption.
That's only if a patient is immobile. I work in a nursing home and the only times we go into rooms at night is for checking vitals, changing incontinent residents and repositioning when/if needed. When your in a hospital vitals have to be checked constantly. They also need to monitor you pain levels. They are required to do many checks. I was so frustrated when I was in the hospital for 6 days and barely slept but also just understood its just them doing their jobs. I too don't fully understand why because all it did was stress me out more and you'd think sleep would be more beneficial to the healing process.
@@BambiBryant Well every 5 seconds they keep waking patients up. My mom was overly tired when she came home from the hospital.
This! When I was in the hospital for 10 days due to preeclampsia that resulted in a c-section! Was so tired!🙄
Sleep deprivation is a form of torture.
His frustration is adorable. I'm at home recovering from surgery and have been binging these videos. I also work in the medical field. Diagnosis: Major crush on Dr. Mike!
What kind
Good to see at least a few people on social media still believe in telling the truth.
the second I first saw this video was when I discoverd this chanel and i love it!
I love how he speaks legit facts instead of saying inaccurate information. I like how he’s not like these other “doctors” on social media that are saying random, incorrect things and how he calls them out for it.
That says more about the other “doctors” than Dr Mike, as he is doing the right thing. It should be the default.
And that he's open about saying he doesn't know about something and willing to do research about it.
Yet another video proving that Caroline the editor needs a raise. She adds *so much* quality to Doctor Mike's videos.
Doctor Mike replied in another comment “Thanks to Caroline for editing this video.”
Dan didn’t edit this video.
@@doctorcorgi3134 thank you for the correction, and thank you for not being a jerk about it. I corrected myself.
@@get_handled yep, i corrected myself.
@@estrobart6785 ok no worries, not trying to be rude or anything but I don’t think Caroline is a ‘he’
I share your frustration Dr Mike 😱 All the self-assigned “Experts” make me yell at my phone 😩
I think the lady with the under eye circles is referring to acupuncture /acupressure Pathways. I used to work for a doctor that performed acupuncture. He took a medical course through Harvard and was board certified in Emergency Medicine. When properly utilized, acupuncture can be a great addition to traditional medical care.
11:46 and her confidence just makes everything a billion times funnier LOL
There should be a gif or meme of that 😂
I've suffered a lifetime of insomnia that occasionally keeps me up for days on end and as of late it's gotten so bad it's scary, so I really appreciate him talking about these awful promises to magically cure genuine disabilities like mine. It really hurts when people tell me something will make me sleep 'cause for just a fraction of a second I get a little wisp of hope that maybe it really could help me, but it won't, and I know it won't, so then I just have to remind myself that there really isn't a guaranteed cure for one of my hardest and most painful struggles.
You are strong. Keep that.
Take three xanac
My spouse struggles with insomnia and neurological apnea. So CPAP machines make them sick 😣 just wish there was something else to help them. ❤ stay strong.
@@krotchlickmeugh627 No. What a stupid comment.
I have an idea you might try, it helped me. I suffered from insomnia for around 2 years. Not sure if yours is more severe, but you could try this. Get a couple of those wifi lights that can change color using an app on your phone, then schedule those lights to change color to reddish orange about an hour or two before going to bed, then off an hour after you go to bed or whenever.
This was absolutely critical for getting myself into sleep mode. It probably costs 30 bucks for a couple lights, just replace the ones in your bedroom. I also have them set to turn on automatically with yellow light in the morning to simulate sunlight, but also try to get outside and look in the direction of the sun in the morning, even if it's cloudy.
Beyond that, here's some other things.
1. No caffiene 8 hours before bedtime. Seriously, look up the half-life of caffiene. It lasts way longer than you think. I don't drink coffee or sodas anymore. If I do it's always early in the day and never past noon. If I want a soda in the afternoon I'll pick one without caffiene like root beer. If I want a pick me up in the morning, it's usually either green or black tea.
2. Write your thoughts down. Get them out of your head. Insomnia is caused by little bits of adrenaline released, usually due to stress. You can't sleep, so you begin to stress about tomorrow's lack of sleep, which makes you stress more, which makes you not able to sleep. It's a vicious cycle.
3. Stop TRYING to go to sleep. It seems counterintuitive, but if you're constantly worried about whether you will fall sleep, you will dread it when the time comes. You will think "well, I guess we'll see if I sleep" which means you're going to bed with stress. Just relax and if you can't sleep right away, tell yourself that's ok. Get up, have a little bite to eat, try to stay away from bright lights, although sometimes tv can relax you, and try not to beat yourself up over it. Let yourself become naturally tired. The key to falling asleep is to not stress over it. Love yourself and forgive yourself. You're only human.
4. Check the temperature in the room. It might just be too warm. Heat raises our cortisol, which wakes us up. So keep the room cool. If you find you like the room to be warm before you go to bed, then open a window before you get into bed so it's warm when you get in, and cool during night. Also, if you find yourself always cold, it might be due to a high carbohydrate diet. I was always cold when I was keeping my calories low to lose weight, but on a high carb diet. It slows your metabolism and you end up cold, which makes you reach for heat, which keeps you up.
5. Don't be too hungry or too full. Try not to gorge, especially on sugary foods before going to bed. A light snack is better.
Hope this helps, friend.
I have Virtigo and you have no idea how many times people have told me to do things that trigger it. As a young adult who has it it makes a lot of things difficult
Hey Doc🙋♀️ big fan..🥰 love your videos🫶 just curious to know are the colour of your eyelids smokey brown or have you applied eyeshadow..??🤔
FROM AN OPHTHALMOLOGY OPERATING ROOM NURSE-That blue thing that your saw go on the eye and pull on the eye is a rubber stopper we use to remove corneal shields after having ocular plastic surgeries. The shields go in the eyes to protect the cornea while the lids are operated on. That was so stupid! They could have caused an eye injury or dislocated the eyeball out of orbit!
12:22 I like how she was so confident that it was correct.💀
hi dr mike reallyyyy lovee yourr videosss keep it up
Hey doc the eye part is called a plunger it is used to place and remove hard contact lenses it looks a lot crazier than it actually is. Keep up the good work
10:36 That captured my reaction perfectly. It sums up all my feelings perfectly into one meme
13:20 *me who's nostrils get horribly clogged at night*
*tapes mouth shut at night so I can't breathe*
*dies*
*YES YES YES YES*
Relatable
This is one of your best!
Dr. Mike is always so happy and energetic starting a video, and then he loses all his brain cells watching the tiktok videos
I start with 3 cloves of garlic as a natural antibiotic. Then I take yoghurt as a probiotic. Ah yes, the magic healing power of cancelling eachother out. Kinda like homeopathy.
I love this video. more please!!!
5:28 something i have in common someway is that I was talking about a book series near my iPad which I watch KRplus on and it came up on my KRplus home page and I hadn’t even searched it
6:25 Who edited this and why didn't they get a raise already?
I love how indignant he is! Mad integrity, passion, and professional and community dedication.
