Dr. Mike Israetel Put Your Ego Aside

[@annelieniedzwitzki1389]

Dr. Mike's comment on Jeff Nippard's video: "Folks who have commented or reached out about my anxiety disorder, thank you so much for caring. Good news, it's entirely due to steroids, and those I take entirely voluntary with no compulsion or addiction. As soon as I want, I can stop them and within days I don't have severe anxiety disorder anymore and within weeks I barely have anxiety at all. I HATE how they make me feel, but I have a few goals in bodybuilding left to accomplish, so I deal with it. I have a knack for doing very hard things that take a long time, so this is right up my alley. No need to worry about me! PS: If I die before my due time from the cardiovascular shit... it's been real and this is what I wanted. Do not ever feel the need to be sympathetic of me. - Dr. Mike"

As a physician (albeit not a vascular specialist or hepatologist or pulmonologist) a few of the medical points are wrong. His nails don’t look like clubbing although you couldn’t be sure without a proper physical exam by a specialist. The point about hyperaldacteronism is conjecture and you can’t be sure without checking a renal panel. And the point about enlarged umbilical veins is inaccurate, enlarged porto-umbilical veins (caput medusae) is an end stage sign of decompensated cirrhosis. While steroids certainly cause liver damage and can increase the risk of certain neoplasms, no bodybuilder would be able to maintain even a fraction of their physique (due to the protein wasting and inability for the liver to synthesize SHBG and other important proteins) if they got to the point where they have portosystemic shunting like that. For reference, the pts who I’ve cared for who have cirrhosis with caput medusae were extremely frail and on the brink of death waiting for a transplant. Great video but keep in mind the medical points here are just theories from someone who is well versed in bodybuilding science and general health but not in medical conditions. Happy to hear points from medical professionals (physicians, PAs, nurses in these specialties) and what your opinions are about these points.

[@marwanhagar7196]

The veins which are outlined appear as the inferior epigastric veins in which there are signs of contortion and migration towards the umbilicus, their presentation seem to be a recent change based on previous pictures from years ago in similar conditions. Their presentation does not align with stigmata of liver disease, no conclusion is drawn by this gross presentation, however, this feature should not be completely disregarded as it does appear atypical based on the anatomy of the inferior epigastric vein. Could it be nothing ? Possibly. Could it be an early presentation of peripheral artery disease (such asan aorto-iliac occlusive disorder)? I've seen similar presentations in the literature in case reports. The pre test probability is not insignificant given the present risk factors

[@neilkk]

@@marwanhagar7196 I disagree, aorto-iliac occlusive disorder is a huge conjecture and is an *arterial* not venous, severe atherosclerotic occlusive disorder with a different presentation which would present with severe leg cramping, lower extremity hair loss, arterial lower extremity ischemic ulcers (although agree, there are significant risk factors related to steroid usage). These are definitely the inferior epigastric veins, however I would not even characterize these as varicosities, they're just prominent branch veins in a person with low body fat percentage. I map inferior epigastric vasculature for my vascular surgery colleagues and in my personal opinion this is within normal physiologic limits. You would need a CT angiogram to diagnose this, a visual conjecture is not sufficient. In the CTAs I've read for patients for arterial atherosclerotic disease, when it gets to the point where there is occlusive aorto-iliac disease, the patient has almost always required numerous lower extremity arterial angioplasties, stents, and bypasses. If you're referring to IVC (inferior vena cava obstruction), that is also a huge conjecture with a severe clinical picture with severe lower extremity edema , and enlarged collateral deep and superficial veins. You would need a CT venogram to diagnose this, a visual inspection is not close to sufficient. I have only seen a couple cases of IVC occlusion on the thousands of CTs I have read in sick, hospitalized patients and the imaging and clinical scenario is severe. Again, I would caution suggesting severe diagnoses for people when you are not their medical professional who is privy to their medical history. Will also note that you are a manager of HTLT supps and that there may be bias involved in your response.

I wish these guys the best man. They walked so we could run. But I will say something. Chemically induced anxiety, paranoia and anger is fucking scary. I’ve been on antibiotics for 4 weeks and had another dose lined up for two weeks time. I was so down, mood would swing like a pendulum. I thought I was going crazy, even got therapy penned in, which I will still attend. I had five days off this antibiotic. I felt incredible, stable. Strong. Started back up again, symptoms returned. So I googled the side effects… rare, but, paranoia, panic attacks, mood swings, depression - well. That certainly answers some things. So I feel for these guys when they say they get this shit from chemicals. It’s mad. Also, shout out to the Manlets out there!!

It would an achievement that goes beyond money. It sounds fine to me. Even amazing. What's the alternative? Giving up, moving on and just becoming old? Let him achieve his goals.
