[@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.

As a health care provider I really appreciate your take on the Doctor discussion in the beginning. Well thought out, articulated and insightful. As always really enjoy your content

[@standardtuning4guitars423]

I stopped watching the video when he said pills always work and fast. Dana White said he gave the pills many years to work and he was still in constant pain and felt terrible. Also drugs often have side effects or can be misdiagnosed which can cause more harm than good (This is a big ommission). It seems to me the guy in this video has put alot of emphasis on being an actual doctor which might explain why the Dana video rubbed him the wrong way. Personally I found Brecka's videos really insightful. While Brecka can make errors in describing certain body processes his heart is made of gold and he has a really wide range of knowledge. The fact that the previous doctors working with Dana were all impressed with Brecka also tells a tale.

[@goosergone143]

He’s saying that in general, pills work fast and well as opposed to lifestyle changes. Obviously he’s not saying every pill is diagnosed perfectly and work exactly right every time and I don’t think anyone watching would think that.

[@fluntimes]

​​@@standardtuning4guitars423 it's a shame you stopped watching because you missed a well reasoned argument. Regardless of Dana's experience (we are likely getting a story based on his prior biases) fact is pills work. They are required to be tested extensively and, because medications utilize known chemical pathways in the body, they can be confidently prescribed and results predicted. That said, Mike goes on to say this is only as good as taking the hard and more permanent road and actually fixing your health via a combination of exercise, diet and lifestyle interventions. This is not controversial, but those with biases against scientific medicine tend to not accept the facts, which is unfortunate.

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 ; )

~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.

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.

@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

important point left out of Mike's fat/carbs/protein analysis... when you eat mostly carbs you are hungry ALL the time. When you eat mostly fats and protein you are not excessively hungry ever, provided you're not in too harsh of a calorie deficit. Added to that, when we're eating mostly carbs and getting those crazy appetite swings, many of us are more likely to slip and eat excessive amounts of carbs in combination with fat, which undoubtably is the biggest culprit. People get ripped on low carbs... people get ripped on low fat. The main difference is that it's far easier reducing the carbs to achieve it.

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.

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.

So he put me on 14 10mg Diazepam a day and 15 40mg Dihydrocodeine a day. Why did he do this ?. To get me Addicted and needing them more and more what is the point of making someone a drug addict ?. Doctors getting paid by big pharma for prescribing their drugs to their patients ?. Why get someone well / better again ?. When it will just lose you a customer for your products/ drugs ?. Is this what doctors think “Just prescribe them something that makes them feel better for now but it doesn’t make them better In the long run so we keep them as a returning customers” ?. It’s what it seems like to me I’ve now got a messed up nervous system and a bad stomach now because I was put on some hard medication that I didn’t really have no business being on them for so long. Not every doctor has your best interest at heat. And now I always research the prescriptions that I get before I start taking them.

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.

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)
