[@TelefoneMotorola-iy8oz]

I just learned about your channel. Thanks for keeping things real. Please do a video about insulin resistance. Most skinny fat people are IR and when they try to cut carbs they end up hypoglycemic. So it becomes unsustainable. Even if they try to eat fat for energy. I changed my physique doing the same you explain, but I can not do the cutting part because I pass out if I reduce carbs too much. Trying to supplement to fight insulin resistance and eat good fats and even use ketones. But it is very complicated. Also. It seems I reached a plato in weight lifting. It looks like my frame can't go over it. May be doing something wrong. IDK. All the best to you.

[@ajmuffinstuff1]

Residency trained pharmacist, we got a TON of patient counseling practice in school and during my residency programs (basically pharmacy is knowing medications and either advising a physician or a patient). Working at the VA and trying to help people with heart failure, they don't want to walk or move or go to the bathroom, so they get worse. Trying to help people with diabetes, they don't want to count calories or be remotely active, so they get worse. Spent 1 hour at a time with 7 people a day trying to educate and prepare them to take care of themselves and to facilitate results now, learn their medicine; they just don't do it. I can't do patient counseling anymore from seeing people come in for yearly checkups, still smoking, still complaining about being able to breathe or move around their house, gaining weight, blaming their pills... this even happens in private hospitals too. Now I compound at a local shop, basically only end up seeing people that need specialty meds and they are much more receptive than the general populace. It's not that doctors or nurses don't have the time or don't like you; it really just gets awkward to keep people's attention and rapport up to convince to change the way they are LIVING. Lifestyle change is paramount to the habits that have been created without any conversation or forethought. What order you get ready in the morning, how you leave the house, the way you drive, how you interact with people. It's beyond hard to change, let alone convince somebody that they've been doing it wrong and need to change. Despite what any contrarian can say, everybody wants a magic pill / silver bullet.

[@Rrr000yyY]

The people you're describing sound pretty much like my dad. The amount of times he's been advices by doctors, dieticians, his kids, etc. and him making almost no effort to actually do it is ridiculous. Sure he would try it for a few weeks but then he'd quit because "it's not helping". Like mf you been eating and living like crap for YEARS and now you expect to turn it all around in a few weeks? And the fad diets.... Ugh.

[@jdy89]

So much this!! Nurse here. Patients get so defensive about lifestyle modification, but are very quick to blame "all these pills" for them feeling poorly. Side effects exist, medication interactions exist, but VERY few people actually want to put in the work to be able to come off their meds safely.

[@braga_6850]

Every doctor should be prepared to never abandon the patient, but in college you learn just not to abandon the illness. When the patient does not adhere to treatments for the disease, it is as if the doctor is no longer able to monitor them. The doctor who was trained under the illusory concept of having power over the disease and the patient's actions is condemned to feel like a failure and frustrated at various points in the career. However, the doctor who seeks knowledge about "caring" with the same commitment and dedication that he takes to “cure" is a human being in permanent fulfillment.

[@Cassowarybass]

💯 Adherence by the patient is key. Being a medical professional shouldn't be as an enabler of destructive behaviors.

[@muscledoggs566]

I totally see where you are coming from. I work in physical therapy. However, there is a huge disconnect between doctor visits and patients truly grasping what it's really going to take to make the necessary lifestyle changes needed to live beyond the next 5 months. I've always been a huge advocate of preventative health care, which is essentially what proper diet and exercise is. But for patients looking to get their numbers under control, from weight to triglyceride levels, what does this actually look like in an exercise and diet program? I honestly think that exercise scientists who have the capability of prescribing specific programs based on need should be part of hospital and doctor office staff. I believe the disconnect between doctor visits and the needed lifestyle changes could disappear with prescribed programs. Hell, make a partnership between doctor offices and fitness centers. Incentivise the whole process. But, it's hard to know how and to whom to make such suggestions.

~95% of the time, the doctor isn't the problem. primary care doc here... in general, doctors working for major health systems (i.e. Kaiser, Providence, Ascension, etc) are given 15 min appointments for follow up appointments (meaning anything besides initial appointment) and 30min (sometimes up to 60 min) for initial appointment to establish care. These appointment times do not allow for meaningful discussions on fully optimizing a patient's health. Majority of the time, we have no say in these time allotments, we just show up to work and deal with these awful circumstances. For those that care, please complain to your insurance companies and health systems- they are the ones who have the power to implement adequate appointment times.

[@llPHAzERll1]

That’s enough out of you pill pusher /s. This is very true, insurance companies have positioned themselves as blameless and put doctors as the face of everything wrong with healthcare. Then comes along a charlatan like Gary Brecka “human biologist” 😂 (as well as so many other health gurus) that just trash the medical field. It’s a really old tactic that’s worked forever because there is never a shortage of suckers. It’s really unfortunate for doctors like yourself to deal with this type of shit but it irritates me so much how not enough people call out these fake doctors such as Mr. Human Biologist Gary

[@user-ve9wm8xs7z]

Thank you for clarifying how doctors are working for health systems that present the business model doctors have to plug into.. which is why doctors aren’t able to get into a deep dive on one’s health Just 10 mins and here try this ssri cya in a few wks seem like the norm.. How do we as patients do better for ourselves? Can we find a doctor that works private practice? An MD not handcuffed by Kaiser of a large healthcare system? What kind of doctor can we look for that will look at the sources of illness versus treat the symptoms? Thank you

[@llPHAzERll1]

@UCel7DNTir4CHFy7_FpfNeyQ you definitely can find a doctor that works private practice. This would probably have to be through your insurance though or else you’d have to pay out of pocket (again this is another thing doctors get blamed for but it’s insurance companies that make this so tedious). I can say all good doctors want to treat the illness and not just the symptoms even though it may not always seem that way. Health gurus and “Wellness” people love to use this as a talking point but it’s not true. It’s one thing for doctors not to have time to do a deep dive in your overall health but it’s another to purposely not treat the illness. What makes you feel that way?

[@LJ-cp6qs]

@@user-ve9wm8xs7z unfortunately good primary care that includes enough time to collaborate with patients is often limited to private practice which are often not covered by insurance. If you have the money, a direct primary care practice is the way to go. Unlimited time with your doctor for a monthly fee (usually 75-100 per month). It's sad that this kind of care is not available to people of all income levels but sadly that's what happens when healthcare is delivered through a capitalist lens. If you can't afford a direct primary care membership then I'd recommend coming to your appointments with a list of your health priorities (diet, exercise, mental health, etc). That'll at least help focus the little time you have with your doc on the things that are important to you. Best of luck to you

As for the topic at hand, "biohacking", Huberman really likes to dramatically oversell very weak data (in vitro, animal studies, tiny garbage studies done in humans) when it comes to exotic fringe treatments, and that often happens at the expense of tried-and-true methods with tons of high-quality evidence behind them that just don't sound very exciting and are thus unfit to cultivate a devoted podcast following to sell stuff to. Really, the dude is little more than a glorified supplement salesman at this point and his listeners just don't realize it because he's a Stanford professor and uses lots of jargon, so he must know what he's talking about, right?

Well they are a thousand times worse than eating a diet high in healthy fats. Go back in time 50 000 years and find 3000 calories a day without majority of it being fat. Good luck. That's literally how almost the entire existence of our species looked like.

[@erikandersson4079]

@@MuppetsSh0w I can't think of any food that had a majority of calories from fat 50k years ago. Certainly not nuts, seeds, berries etc, and game meat doesn't have a lot of fat. It would need to be something like 30%+ fat to have a majority, and game meat isn't anywhere close to that. So unless you think that people hunted A5 Wagyu cows or something there's no chance that people got a majority of their calories from fat.

Crazy how we have the whole internet to type names of drugs into but people still boil everything down to “pill bad”. Anything can go in a pill lol

[@trn1446]

@@pricklycats Pills are useful, but you cannot say that they are not bad in the long term. To fix a problem that you have right now (which in my opinion has to be a very big problem for it to require a pill), they work fine, and if you use them for some type of treatment that's also fine. But taking pills all the time for minor problems like a headache or stuff like that.. That's not needed AT ALL, unless the headache is extremely strong and does not let you live your life normally. In other words, my point is just that if it's needed and completely necessary, taking a pill (or a number of pills in short-term) is fine. But taking pills all the time for ANY problem that you have that could just be fixed in a healthier way given more time.. That's just a waste of health (and also money, lol)

I think that studies on just efficacy of drugs miss that the side effects are sometimes as awful as what they're treating and it scares people. Also, just because we have access to research these days doesn't mean we know how to read or understand it. It makes me wonder if being rich and having access to "alternative medicine" is bad for your health - if you are low or middle class you'll just get what the doctor gives you, which is probably better in the long run.

[@Shinobi_ninja_clan]

I started back at the gym last year after having to take a long break fighting Cancer, after months of chemo plus a huge op and then 4 more months of chemo after as well, I gave it around 2 months of rest and then went back to the gym. I couldn't even do 1 dip lol, mainly due to the operation i'd had that removed a lot of my food pipe and stomach leaving a 23inch wound. It's taken me complete dedication and focus on every single session to make gains back at nearly 42. I can now do over 25 dips wearing a weighted vest. Ironically I get more compliments than I ever did in my 20s/30s when I was much bigger and stronger but held a lot more body fat compared to now. Chemo pretty much rid me of almost every bit of fat and a heck of a lot of muscle too. But it meant upon building back up I started from an extremly lean physique(way under 5% body fat according to the doctors). I hated being smaller for a long time, but it's just too hard to put weight back on given my stomach was cut out and resized permanently (and moved position too). Least I don't have to bother with any cardio lol, or i'd shrink even more. Other people seem to think I must be taking something and i'm often asked what do I take? ..Chemo Son.. Chemo! Not advisable purely to lose fat 😂. Joking aside I was damn lucky to survive and i'm loving being back in the gym. Watching these videos will really help me to stay away from injury and hopefully stay healthy. Thanks Mike ; )

I stumbled across your channel by accident one day.

I couldn't have been more wrong. I not only only love the content you put out but I really appreciate your approach and they way you deliver your information. Even with the awkward jokes at times which fits my awkward humor perfectly. I've shared your video with other trainers I know that are well more versed than me and they are equally as impressed and in agreement. Quite frankly, I never heard of you before and I couldn't understand why but you said best yourself, it's the face for sure. Just kidding, it's probably because you deliver simple truths instead of bullshits fads and you aren't a sell out for clicks. This video, I truly enjoyed. Thank you for your hard work and content.
