I appreciate that a medical doctor is open to and interested in what other people who are tops in their field can teach them about health!

[@drchtct]

Why wouldn't he, he just studied medicine and was a beginner in his field until he switched to YT, there are people who dedicated their entire life to study medicine, of course he would read their stuff lol

[@ewaramlo2619]

Regarding pill sorter - please remember that every pharmaceutical product has its own specifications- such as the lifespan outside the package. For example, some of them should be taken 90s after being snapped out of the package. They can acquire moisture, or their assimilability changes.

[@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa369]

Idk why but Ali is the only self-help/productivity youtuber who i can stand. He’s the only who feels genuine tbh

[@crystal.chantel]

Agreed! Also the only one that makes me feel motivated after watching. 😀 Everyone else is like here’s why you’re doing everything wrong 🙄

[@karinariveroll8254]

True!

[@hris9214]

True, and I'm guessing Ali's likability and approachable personality are his biggest asset to making his KZbin channel so succesful...and he deserves it!! 🤍

[@mubarakalihussain7007]

5x daily Salah is great too. It’s physical (including walking to and from Mosque), mental and spiritually energising. 😊

[@teapig15]

Hey Ali long time viewer here, just wanted to say how much I appreciate the massive uplevel in production value in your videos recently (animations, B roll etc). I especially enjoyed the animations of the research papers being highlighted! Glad to see as the channel gets bigger you are still authentic and not afraid of talking about your insecurities and when things haven't worked first time (like with the weight loss results on the DEXA scans). I used to watch your videos at 1.4X speed but now things are so fast paced and the editing is so tight I find it works better at normal speed - don't be afraid to slow things down and just talk at the camera without cutaways / animations every once in a while still - I can tell you are really thinking about engagment / retention in your recent videos but your awesome personality will shine through more. Keep up the great work. Your content & podcast have honestly changed my life so much for the better.

[@allanmartinez7535]

Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

[@allanmartinez7535]

Such market uncertainties are the reason I don’t base my market judgements and decisions on rumours and here-says, got the best of me 2020 and had me holding worthless position in the market, I had to revamp my entire portfolio through the aid of an advisor, before I started seeing any significant results happens in my portfolio, been using the same advisor and I’ve scaled up 750k within 2 years.

[@allanmartinez7535]

Having a counsellor is essential for portfolio diversification. My advisor ASHLEY AIRAGAHI who is easily searchable and has extensive knowledge of the financial markets.

[@dannyborissova5194]

I love this video so much! I am so into the holistic approach to health! 2 years ago I was diagnosed with autoimmune disorder and I had pretty bad blood results. I didn't even know about it and I felt betrayed by my body. Soon after I started training boxing 3 times a week, I also got back into running, changed my diet according to the restrictions of my condition and started going to therapy. 2 years after I am in remission ❤️ I am better and better in boxing, I ran my 1st half marathon and I am doing monthly check-ins with my therapist. My life just started again! ❤️ It' so important to take care of our bodies and mind!

I am a cancer s̶u̶r̶v̶i̶v̶o̶r̶ THRIVER who can attest to that! Cancer slowed me down a bit, but my hard earned lessons to get my health & life back are what make the difference.

Dexa scan was the single most important health decision ive made, seeing those numbers written down on that piece of paper gave me insight onto how unfit I actually was, it prompted me to do more resistance training whilst doing 30-60 mins of low intensity cardio every day !

Ali, I have noticed how much thinner and healthier you look over the past year. Awesome work! Inspiring

[@oliviaczhou]

I always learn something new when I watch Ali's videos.

[@WakeUpSidd117]

My personal hack for sleep: if you find it hard to fall asleep, try deep breathing at least 3 times (google deep breathing if you are not sure how to do it). My body and mind feel relaxed instantly after that and I start yawning 😴😴😴
