Your Doctor's Least Favorite TikToks

- I feel like my vein might pop out on one of these TikTok

episodes based on just what's happening in the culture,

the ether that is social media, but let's give it a chance.

Huge thanks to Zocdoc for sponsoring this video.

Your girl doesn't need coffee to go poop because she uses her vibration plate.

No cortisol spike, no hormone chaos.

I'm not gonna even hate.

I think this is a good treatment.

Like, if this works to help you go to the bathroom, that's fine.

You know where this could be good?

Kidney stones.

Because we've actually put people with kidney stones on roller coasters

and saw that it can help you pass those.

Not that I'm recommending that, but there was a study that actually did that,

so maybe this could be like the safer version of

that. - This is a drink

that my team and I put together

because I was taking over- - In my head,

all I was hearing was

because I was losing a lot of money doing all of my stacking of

supplements and buying red light beds

and air filters to everywhere I go. - 100 pills a day.

It was a lot.

And we endeavored to say,

can we reduce the number of pills into some liquid form? - Longevity mix?

They don't even try anymore.

They're just like, "Live longer (beep)." - Put all of the good tasting pills

in this powder. - All the good tasting pills. -

And we took all the bad tasting pills

and we put it into other pills. - Man,

he was just attacking Athletic Greens.

Great.

You wanna attack AG1?

I'm all for you attacking supplements, but, buddy,

we gotta attack your own stuff too.

Your miracle potions ain't it.

There's no such thing as a longevity mix.

Look, I live by this.

If there was a longevity mix, I would wanna take it.

I would wanna recommend...

I would give it to my producer Sam here

because I would want him to live long to help work on this channel.

- It's delicious.

What?

No, I'm just joking.

It's actually- (Doctor Mike laughing) - Yo,

you got me. - It tastes like a fruit drink

but without all the bad stuff.

(Doctor Mike laughing) (Doctor Mike coughing) - They ask you how you are

and you just have to say

that you're fine when you're not really fine

but you just can't get into it

because they would never understand. (static buzzing) - Here's my one week product review

of human baby.

(Doctor Mike laughing) - Should have done an unboxing (laughs) too. - Human babies

can come in lots of different colors.

This one originally came in yellow

but in the sunlight kind of turned pink. - Oh,

he was a little jaundice,

huh? - I did not film the unboxing

because it was stressful (Doctor Mike laughs)

and loud,

and the package this product arrived in was damaged a little bit upon delivery.

- Oh,

that makes a lot of sense.

Probably there was a tear.

But I'd like to see slow motion closeups

so they can show how the baby's functioning.

Like, are we seeing a Moro reflex?

Is there clicking when they're evaluating the hips?

What's the fontanelle feel like

or look like? - Side effects I think are just kind of increased overall

purpose. - Decreased sleep time,

increase sleep latency, increase nighttime awakenings. - Overall,

highly recommend. - People do recommend getting one of those. (dog barks) I started

with dogs first.

Okay?

(laughs) - What are you? - Doctors! - What is this?

(doctors screaming) - Where do they film this?

We love apples.

They help with phytonutrients, fiber.

And no, if you eat an apple a day, we'll still come for you.

We need our copay obviously.

Okay. - We The Best music! - We The Best. - Music! - We The Best,

what's in the fridge of The Best? - Another one. - That's a lot

of ice cream.

He must have watched the clip from our good friend, Dr.

Ezekiel Emanuel.

What about ice cream?

I really like ice cream.

(Dr.

Ezekiel laughs) - So, it's a dairy

and dairy is good for you. (screen beeps) - Day two of trying to

get rabies (laughs) to miss school.

Oh, my god.

Fox do spread rabies.

I found this out the other day with a patient of mine who got

bit by a stray cat

and we were looking up rabies statistics.

Domesticated cats in New Jersey, biggest reservoir of rabies.

So, if you do get bit

and you can't get the animal to be quarantined,

you actually have to go to the ER multiple times to get multiple injections.

It's a huge pain in the butt, but important, because rabies is fatal.

Don't mess around with it. (chair thuds) (bones cracking) - Whoop! - Oh!

There...

That's not your chair.

That is a foot's problem

and a knee problem

and a tibia-fibula problem. - Looks like you got it calibrated a little bit

too high. - Yeah!

Or you have very sensitive connective tissues

that are not strong enough to maintain the weight of the chair propulsion.

Oh, we got a fish tank, but he's like snorkeling.

That's kind of a vibe.

I'm gonna try that on next time I go out.

Season three premiere of "The Pitt." (camera shutter clicks) If this video gets...

God, I gotta be careful. - Careful, careful!

(Sam laughing) - If by season three premiere this video gets more than 599,000

likes and over 10,000 comments,

I will wear something similar to

that to "The Pitt" premiere. - Hold him to it,

folks! - I've notoriously wet ears. - Wet ears. - What does that mean? - Get over here.

Let's poke around. - No, don't touch them. - First of all,

never poke around in your ears

or anyone else's ears. - It's like

if you put your finger in there right now,

you'd come out, you have, like, water on them? - Sometimes. - Sometimes.

I have a suspicion

that this is an ear wax situation. - Wet in what regard? - Like

if I put a Q-tip in there,

it'll be wet. - First of all, never put Q-tips in there.

And again, it's probably cerumen. - Wet? - Sometimes. - But like with wax? - Sometimes.

Sometimes it's just wet. - Sometimes,

you pronounce the T in wet so hard- - Wet. (laughs) Patient comes in, says,

"Doc, I've been coughing."

Is it wet?

Is your cough wet?

Wet. - If you can take Q-tip- - It's an anxious thing. -

And put it in your ear- - Don't put!

Stop encouraging Q-tips, sir!

I need to go on this podcast

and do some fact checking. - We should get Doctor Mike in here

and ask him a bunch of questions. - Yeah,

I mean, he would probably leave here dumber.

(Doctor Mike laughs) He's so, like,

patient that I would make it my (censored) goal- - Peewoop! - to make

this guy lose his (censored). - Peewoop! - That's like the try-not-to-laugh challenge,

but it's like try to make Doctor Mike lose his (censored) peewoop challenge.

I think with my decade plus of experience in treating patients,

my two Jubilee debates, my multi awkward podcast interactions,

I think I'm well trained for this task.

Back to the TikToks in just a second,

but first I wanna tell you about my sponsor Zocdoc,

a free website where you can easily search

and compare high quality in-network doctors

so you can find the right one for you.

Booking appointments or finding a new doctor can be such a hassle,

but get this, it's hard for doctors too, even me.

There's no class in med school where they teach us about

which insurance covers which procedures.

Often we're in the dark just like you.

This has actually been a huge headache on my dad's end.

He's also a family medicine doc

and he's had a personal health problem

and needed to find a new doctor.

Tried to help him out,

but we ran into all of the same confusing websites, endless voicemails,

felt like we were going nowhere.

So, we used Zocdoc and found the perfect fit.

They specialized in exactly what he needed, was close to his home,

and actually had openings for new patients.

Believe me, it would've been

so easy to get confronted with the bureaucracy of it all

and just give up.

But Zocdoc made the process so simple.

My favorite part?

You can see the doctor's actual appointment openings.

Choose a time that works for you and click instantly to book a visit.

So, stop putting off those doctor's appointments and go to Zocdoc.com/doctormike,

also linked in the description,

to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.

All right, let's get back to those TikToks. (bright upbeat music) - I think

I would too. (laughs) - A lot of people do. - Yeah. - Wow.

Getting intubated for full-body tattoo.

So, I saw the other day they're sedating people to take tangles out of

their hair,

like if their hair's really tangled.

There's just a lot of this medical over-intervention

and it's not because getting intubated

or sedate is not safe,

especially under the care of anesthesiologists.

But you just don't want to go for medical procedures unnecessarily.

Just exposes you to risk.

It's the same way that if I watched the Doctor Box,

I'd be telling them like, "No, this is dangerous."

Like, (laughs) so I get it.

Also, there's been some unique research coming out tying large tattoos to lymphoma risk.

This isn't quite a causative relationship, like a causal relationship.

This is more of an association that has been seen.

It's enough to make me realize like I have one small tattoo.

I'm okay for now.

Again, why expose yourself to the risk?

Again, unless it means something to you.

I'm not judging.

I'm just saying that there are things to keep in mind. - Right,

there's no way I would've ever sat, like, and this sort of probably taken,

I don't, years, you know, to get all done, like,

a piece at a time,

you know. - Some people might say the work

that it would've taken to get done

and the years to put in might have been part of the beauty.

It took Michelangelo 16 days to paint

that chapel. - I don't know how many days. - Sistine Chapel.

16. - Oh! - I was trying to make a joke. - Oh... - Sorry.

It failed. (screen beeps) - This is some of the weirdest gym equipment of

all time being used by one of the greatest baseball players of all time,

Ichiro Suzuki, who said these machines were the key to his success. - Whenever

you isolate a single arm,

we'll just say limb, you can get unique benefits.

These are very uncontrolled movements with a lot of range of motion,

which can be good under supervision or someone with a lot of experience.

I would never recommend these things to a novice weight training individual. - The

idea behind the machines is

that they're supposed to strengthen rotational athletes through the full range of motion.

Although they do look pretty goofy and they're easy to make fun of,

I do think there is something to strengthening through stretching. - Yeah,

and strengthening during a deep stretch.

So, like, while the muscle is fully extended to be able to use the

muscle in that stretched position is very valuable.

Again, very unique style of training.

I think you need to combine this with traditional strength training

as well. - Chicken breast. - Hopefully chicken was not fed a processed diet.

- Salt. - Salt must be real. - Salt must be real

because fake salt is a problem. - Onion powder. - Suboptimal to real onions.

- Mild wing sauce,

one cup. - That brand has seed oils

and sugar. - Seed oils are not a thing,

man.

I mean, not a thing in that they're not the problem. - Like ranch,

one cup. - That bottle has corn syrup.

Nice try with the fat-free marketing. - There are a lot of sauces

that claim to be fat-free,

and people think that means they're healthy,

but then they add a ton of added sugars in order to make up

for the lack of flavor

that comes from the fat freeness. - Go ahead

and stir this up. - Stirring with toxic utensil.

Should be stainless steel or wood. - They look like silicone.

I think silicone's okay.

It's the black plastic

that could be an issue

because a lot of black plastics,

or maybe not a lot,

but a significant percentage of them were recycled

as part of a program from electronics

and some of those electronics were made with black plastic

that had flame retardant in them.

And that can potentially be toxic and hazardous to your health.

That's why you wanna get black plastic products out of the kitchen. - Oh,

that right there looks amazing. - Looks don't matter.

It's not optimal food.

(Doctor Mike laughs) - Looks don't matter.

The one accurate thing this person said.

Probably said it because that tie is way too long. - Oh!

(people shouting) (screen beeps) - I invented the long fan. -

If you have a bad dream,

that's leading to a concussion. - Not only has this changed the way I sleep,

but it changed the way I live. - My guy needs, like,

an Eight Sleep or something. - This is one of the best decisions of

my life. (alarm ringing) (fan blades clacking) (Ross screaming) - Oh!

(Ross screams) The Eight Sleep is like one of the sole products

that I like that's in the biohacking sphere

because it genuinely does a valuable thing.

It keeps you cool at night

when likely you struggle with heat

because I know many people struggle with heat

and as a result they don't get good quality sleep.

♪ Did you know

that 47.8% ♪ ♪ Of Americans ages 14 through 49 have herpes ♪ -

I'm surprised it's not higher than

that.

♪ Did you know

that 47.8 of Americans ♪ ♪ Many Americans have HSV before their 30s ♪

♪ For the most part,

it's totally harmless ♪ - Yeah,

a lot of us have herpes and a lot of us have HPV.

♪ We got herpes ♪ ♪ You got herpes,

you got herpes ♪ - You got herpes. -

And most people that will just come out with a sore on their lip

or something.

Usually that's HSV-1 virus, but there are instances where it's HSV-2.

Because generally HSV-2 is a genital condition,

but that's not always a hard and fast rule.

Hi, guys.

What is wrong with the way I walk?

Why are all my shoes extremely slanted?

Ooh, okay.

This looks like the outside or the lateral portion of the shoe,

which means that we're under pronating

or supinating that will predispose you to a higher injury risk.

There are actually shoes with a lot of cushioning that can help with this.

For the opposite side of that problem, people who over pronate,

there's actually ones with medial posts inside

that add a little bit of extra padding in

that area to keep your foot a little bit more stable.

And these types of stability,

motion control shoes have been somewhat controversial 'cause really the injury risk comes from

being uncomfortable.

So, it's more so about trialing a shoe

that you feel comfortable in rather than getting a specific style of shoe tailored

to your wear pattern.

So, what I would do in scenarios like this is obviously evaluate the arch,

perhaps recommend some arch support.

Getting good cushioning here is gonna help reduce injury risk a lot of the

time.

Nothing like a nice soak after a long day.

Hmm, WD-40, a little Conair foot warmer to the prosthetic legs.

Actually, when I went to Disney to work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation,

there was a couple who were influencers

and they actually work on designing unique designs for prosthetic limbs

that I thought were really cool.

We're gonna link those down below. (bright music) Oh.

Exophthalmos. (bright music continues) I always struggle putting on contacts.

That's why you always see me with glasses.

Maybe if I had this condition, it would be easier.

Oh.

Oh, reacting to my video.

Don't like my video?

Like my video?

Every time I watch people reacting to my content,

I don't know which direction it's gonna go 'cause it can easily go in

one direction or the other.

In fact, just the other day I saw someone reacting to the clip where

I was sharing an intimate story about how

when I lost my mom,

my dog Roxy helped me get over that.

And I took her to the dog park

and I felt like it was therapy.

And I recommended folks to go to the dog park

if they were struggling themselves.

Meaning that if they didn't have a dog,

they can just stand outside of the dog park

and watch the dogs 'cause it's great to be in nature.

But whoever was reacting to it was attacking me for giving bad advice.

And I'm just like, man, you're never safe. - Brainwash doctors like this.

I mean, he doesn't even is a real doctor.

He just posts health videos on social media. - I'm a real doctor.

I see patients.

I don't just post clips.

Not only do I see patients, I also train doctors,

the future doctors that are entering the workforce over the last decade I've been

training. - Will tell you

that something natural,

a food humans consumed for thousands of years is dangerous. - Humans got bacteria,

died for thousands of years.

Why are we obsessed with natural death?

Who goes to the hospital and gets an E. coli infection septicemia, and goes,

"No, no, no.

This bacteria is natural.

Don't gimme those antibiotics."

No!

You don't wanna die.

So you ask the doctor,

or we reflexively give you the protocolized set of antibiotics. - Is dangerous

and unhealthy. - What? -

But at the same time- - What's dangerous- - they're prescribed you- -

and unhealthy? - chemical pills

that will disrupt your hormones,

stress your entire body. - Disrupt your hormones.

Do you know what's a hormone disruptor?

Essential oils.

The solution to dehydration is water.

It's a chemical.

Are you gonna get mad at doctors for giving you a chemical?

Exercise stresses the body.

That is a good thing.

It makes your muscles grow and become strong.

Weight on your bones makes them stronger, decreases risk of osteoporosis.

Every word that creates some sort of signal in people's minds,

they try and hijack. - Did you know nicotine is a published cure for

Parkinson's disease? - Nope.

Nope. - MS, Alzheimer's. - Nope.

Nope. - Ulcerative colitis. - Ulcerative colitis, for mild to moderate, acute,

like early onset ulcerative colitis, there is some evidence for. - All arthritis. - All arthritis.

All arthritis. (glass shattering) Arthritis can come in so many different forms.

Psoriasis, rheumatoid, osteo, but it's all arthritis.

You know what's funny?

We use nicotine patches in the hospitals for patients who cannot smoke

because they're hospitalized and there are valid uses for those.

None of which are for arthritis. - Do you know

that autism traits? - Yeah. - They've already investigated nicotine patches between the shoulder

blades of all children

and adults. - All right,

bro.

(Sam laughing) The smoking companies must be brilliant.

Back in the day,

they created Joe the Camel

and now they've created this guy who kind of looks like Joe the Camel,

except they've adapted him to the podcast era where he just says things

that nicotine cures everything.

It's like when Dr.

Gundry came on the podcast and started saying that people who smoke live longer.

Like, bro, you know we have Google, right?

AI is out.

We could just search.

Do people who smoke live longer?

No. (laughs) Imagine a nurse that was secretly killing patients and no one knew.

Well, they sort of did,

but they didn't want to tell on them 'cause they didn't wanna get in

trouble.

Click here to see that story.

And as always, stay happy and healthy. (upbeat music)
