[@nicholasvoyage5535]

You are so pretty and really look like Kate Middleton. I truly respect the way you are sharing your experience in medical school as well as in the medical profession. There is a need for those trained in medicine to channel how they are feeling. You have a unique approach to your channel and this will be so helpful to all walks of life.🌞🪷🌸🌼🌺💐🌷🪻🌻🍀

She doesn't look like Kate and is super prettier than Kate. I bet Dr. Sealy is not using botox like Kate is using to hide the wrinkles on her forehead. 😂

[@JoshuaC-Work]

What, Princess Kate is nothing compared to her. You must need your eyes checked.

[@JoshuaC-Work]

@@flovelasco692 There's also a picture of Kate nude, not hot at all. Izzy is more dignified and gives off green flag flags and not crazy psych imperial family energy.

Congratulations on 50K and becoming a doctor, Izzy. I feel weird calling you Izzy instead of Dr. Sealey. You have so many amazing qualities and you are so humble about everything. I look forward to your next video.

[@rukshandesilva9831]

Izzy. Your story is alway very inspiring. I like your way of thinking and your confident smile makes me positive as well. And your tone of voice and pronunciation sounds very comfortable to listen. I think many of your followers agree with me. Thanks as always.

Hi Izzy, you are just as beautiful as you are such a pleasure to listen to and learn from. As this world continues to struggle and fall apart it is individuals like you that are a shining light of hope for the future. Thank you so much for all that you do to improve the lives those you serve. 👍 🌹

Hey Izzy 💗 ! I watching your videos since Ruri recommend and it's great to see your channel is growing🥺😍. Your videos are beautiful and very informative and you are also my idol🥰. I love uu💗💗💗

Appreciating the body for what it can do and not for what it looks like! What a powerful viewpoint!

[@amylee8070]

woww so excited to see your new updated video. I like you so much!!!

[@AmraBasha]

14:19 you are right! I’ve also learned the same thing from my mom about physical insecurities. We really need to appreciate ourselves. Having a healthy body is the biggest blessing we have. It’s truly something to be grateful for every day

[@errrick]

Izzy, I have tried the "calendarizing everything" approach in the past and failed miserably. they 2 biggest failures were: the most obvious, sticking to it. anything that was not prioritary was left out or forgotten very easily. secondly, the criticism from everyone around as being so inflexible, excessively meticulous and the complete lack of spontaneity in my life due to always needing to schedule in advance. which led me to abandon and just juggle my hobbies the best I can and not punish myself for not staying consistent. but of course that slowly made my life a mess again :p

[@christopherkang7596]

I really love your videos Izzy! They are telling not only the content, but also the charm of your very personality! Btw I'm a Chinese-English translator and interpreter, and I'll be glad if there's anything I can help with the language learning. Good luck!

[@emilylaurent4190]

Congratulations darling ! You've come so far! And to think that only a few months ago I watched your meditation video... I wish that one day I could be as sensational as you are. You are a real inspiration for someone like me who wants to become a doctor in London. Thank you for your videos ! Xoxo ❤

[@ataulabdula8188]

Just found your videos, was looking to improve my British accent. Great quality and excellent content overall. You the kind of person I want to be, open minded and always ready to take on new challenges and live life to its fullest

[@jacoblee9765]

Hey Izzy! I love your content, it's super relaxing and encouraging in my own language journey. I especially love the music and general mood (plus your accent of course 😁). I do have one small comment, if there's any way to reduce the GIFs and sound effects, I think the videos could be even better. I've found that they tend to disrupt the feel of the videos. I would hate to miss out on any content because of something like that. Much love from the US, and hang in there, you're doing amazing!

[@mariamonk791]

You are such a beautiful and humble person, I am sure you will do very well in your job, God bless you ❤

[@Michelle-uv8dm]

I watch your video to learn English and at the same time I always find myself inspired by the way you lead a life. I feel you have a good influence on others. Your channel is my favorite. -from South Korea.

[@victoriavivas161]

Hey Izzy! I’m a recent subscriber and I’m loving your content.❤ It would be cool if you could do a video on how you use google calendar and how you go about blocking your time. Looking forward to more videos😁

[@wengkiong]

I can listen to your crisp English accent for hours 🤩and by the way your Mandarin pronunciation is spot-on! Obviously you have a flair for languages. PS - fellow beef hor fun fan here 🥰

[@peparonimacaroni]

50?? MORE LIKE 100K CONGRATS

[@peparonimacaroni]

would it be possible if you make a video on how to take notes in class - like how to know what to write down and what to not write down, how to take notes fast enough to allow yourself time to actually watch and understand the lesson, how to note take when you have terrible short term memory. And maybe if it's worth it to apply for student council, would it increase chances of being accepted into med school - and what other stuff might increase those chances?

[@IzzySealey]

Ahhh thank you so much!! 🥰🥰

Congrats on the 50K (but wow it has doubled :D congrats 100K !!!)

[@IzzySealey]

Ahh thank you so so much, this makes my heart feel so full to hear 🥰🥰❤️

[@dabi_]

As a general practitioner myself + (tinier) KZbinr, it’d be remarkable/super cool for there to be another GP KZbinr 🤯 Dunno how the UK is like with regards to GP and work-life balance as a creator, but if it’s like Australia then I’ve felt that combination is super great, being able to both have time to create KZbin stuff and practice medicine (which I honestly missed when I went full time YT for a little while). I feel like you reclaim a lot of that “hey I get to be helpful to patients” autonomy as opposed to what can feel like hospital cog-in-the-machine years.

[@pioneeringworks]

Acceptance and gratitude... that is a nice and simple inference right there)

Learning Mandarin is tough with different tones of pronunciation, writing characters with different kind of strokes, many idiomatic expressions etc. Somehow you were able to pick up the language within a short period of time. French is another language that is difficult to learn due to its grammar, sound and pronunciation even tough it has many similarities of words with English. But when you master it, you’ll finally have a beautiful French-British accent.

[@eustaquiozambrano2974]

Thank you very much. Yours videos are realy interesting 👍

[@paullee4210]

Hello Izzy. My wife recently started doing yoga and she watches the videos of Adrienne as well and I join her every now and then. I’ll be looking forward to your next video on accent. I’m going to learn it the way I learned English 4 decades+ ago which is by listening over and over. I know the method works because it worked for me. Catch you later. Take care of yourself as you always wish us to do.
