- I usually have office hours reserved for helping patients with their medical problems but now it's time for office hours to see and call out the misinformation that I've seen on TikTok. Huge thanks to Laifen for sponsoring this video. Let's get started. Peewoop! (soft music) - Dude! - Yeah, what happened? - My head has a dent! (chuckling) Oh no. - Why, he got hit? - The shaver's working like a champ. Dude, I have, like, an indent right here. There is where my headphones go. - Oh. - I have a (censored) headphone indented in my head? - Yeah. In order to dent your skull, the bones of your skull, you're gonna need hundreds of pounds of force. So that's, like, a temporary displacement of fluid. Remember, there's, like, soft tissue and skin and blood vessels, so, yeah, keeping pressure for a long period of time is gonna displace some of that fluid and stuff. So give it an hour, champ. (laughs) it'll fill right back up. This guy gives the greatest thumbs-up. What the heck? That's not real. That's gotta be fake, right? No. Come on. There's something weird to happen. Again, I see the most interesting stuff on TikTok. Half the time, I can realize if it's real or not but it's a great thumbs-up to get from somebody. "Foods you need to add to your diet, bulking." Okay, I'm interested. Uranium. (laughs) What? My favorite part about this is it says, "No exuses." There's no even C. It sounds like a Greek god. - I just hit a milestone in my diet and I really wanna share it with you guys. I only ate 23 out of the 24 Ferrero Rocher. - I'm not gonna lie, I've done... I haven't eaten 23, that's excessive, but I have eaten a lot of these as a kid. - Usually, I eat the whole package but with enough diet and self-control, I was able to cut back and only eat 23. - That reminds me of that clip when Jennifer Coolidge only ate three of the five macrons that were delivered to her room. - What macaroons? There were only three. (signal beeps) - These are four medicines every man should be taking. - Oh my god, I saw this clip the other day. I had to leave a comment here. Watch this. - Silenafil. Yes, Silenafil, a low dose every single day. Protects your heart- - Viagra, brand name. - Essentially by keeping your blood vessels strong. - I don't know enough background on this individual but I remember very vividly that in the bio there was fancy schools mentioned, like Harvard and Duke, "All Science, No BS," as a quote was on there, and this is, like, complete BS. Taking Sildenafil doesn't keep your blood vessels strong. It's a vasodilator, so it dilates your blood vessels. In fact, by telling every guy that they should take it, you're literally potentially causing death because if one of those guys that you recommend it to happens to be on a medication like a nitrate, you can kill them. You could drop their blood pressure that bad. - Number two is metformin. Yes, an old diabetes medicine is actually proven to help you live longer. - I'm pretty sure, if I look this up, his alma mater wrote an article and it states, "While the research so far is promising on metformin, we need more compelling evidence before endorsing its widespread use for people without diabetes." Who do you trust? - Number three is dutasteride. Sorry guys, but if you're watching this your hair follicles are already getting smaller and smaller and dutasteride helps you keep what you have. - I mean, (laughs) these are medications that have legit serious side effects and he's like, "Every guy should be on them." What if you don't care that your hair follicles are getting smaller? Do you want the trade off of the potential side effects? And that isn't even first-line medication. Finasteride's the first-line. Number four is fish oil. Save your heart and your brain. - Oh my god. I mean, like, this is pop medicine without ever understanding what you're actually saying. I'm not even joking that there's potential legal ramifications when you say, as a doctor, "This is a medicine everyone should be on." I wouldn't be surprised if there's any legal or medical-legal consequences for making statements like this. Like, it just, it feels really irresponsible and disappointing that that happened. (jaunty music) Okay, I'm excited. Dumbbell pyramid double bench overhead rotation. One rep till failure. Oh my god. Do you know what worries me the most out of this whole situation? The fact that he's got a couple of, like, really skinny plates underneath his right foot. (laughs) A car press. Do you know why these are actually terrible exercises? Lifting anything or moving anything is actually exercise for your body but because it's not a well distributed amount of weight, meaning that it's not the same on both sides, it can cause a great lack of uniformity on your muscles leading to injury or over-training of one side of your body. Not recommended. - [Narrator] This is Lee who's been blowing glass for 20 years to create- - Whoa. - Some cool looking glass crafts. - Yeah, I've seen this. This is a medical condition where you actually damage the cartilage of your cheeks. They lose support because you're constantly blowing and increasing that intra-oral pressure. I've seen trumpet players develop this. - And I don't eat. What the (peewoop)? - Ah, this looks suspicious for florescent stain. When we check for a corneal abrasion, we use this type of stain and then we shine this very specific lamp called a Wood's lamp, but then afterwards you have this kind of residue in your eye, so I feel like she just probably put some fluorescent drops. At least that's what I think. (fist thuds) - You're seeing this, yeah? (fist thuds) Yeah? (fist thuds) - Oh, no, no, no. Pain is not an illusion. Pain is breaking your fifth metacarpal there. (fist thuds) Oh my god. (fists thudding) (Mike inhales sharply) (Mike exhales deeply) Don't do that. Don't do that. - Don't. Don't do it. (signal beeps) (jaunty music continues) - Oh! Ice hot dog. (gasps) - (laughs) I was gonna make a Huberman joke but I don't feel like this is appropriate. But protocol is she following right now? (Anna munching) - Mm. - "Black Mirror" is real. It's happening, it's amongst us, and people are chewing and swimming in ice. If it brings you joy, great, but my god, please don't do this if you're a regular human. Not only can this be really bad for your heart, if you're undertrained, but it could also be really dangerous 'cause if you slip in the wrong place and you get stuck under that ice. (hands clapping) - [Narrator] My husband and I have removed the bottoms of all of our shoes. We decided to start walking barefoot and one of our followers had a great idea. Since some businesses don't want us being completely barefoot, if we cut off the bottom of our shoes, it'll allow us to be barefoot but blend in everyone else. - (laughs) So you're still going barefoot. This reminds me of this whole movement that everyone wants to be more like our prehistoric humans and that makes no sense to me. People look at what they ate, how they lived, how they walked as inspiration of what we should be doing now, but they lived to, like, age 30. Why are we looking for inspiration from dudes and dudettes who lived half the lives that we live today? They should look to us and say, "Oh my god, we wanna put on shoes." Rather, we're going the other way. The logic on this is infathomable. - [Narrator] The benefits of walking barefoot are priceless so now our shoes are worth more than money could ever be. - (laughs) your shoes are worth more than money could ever be? I somehow don't think that's it. Let's do a little medical fact checking here. Walking barefoot increases risks of getting plantar warts, it's caused by the HPV virus, athlete's foot, which is a fungus on your feet, cuts, infections like tetanus. I'm not saying walking barefoot always is terrible. Like, in moderation it's great, especially if you do it on, like, sand or grass where less likely chance that you can hurt yourself. But, like, don't go into a random store barefoot. - Miss Clark, what do you say we get ya outta here today, huh? We're gonna discharge you and put you right in a hospice. There's nothing more we can do. - Oh wow. - How you feel, girlina? Good? Great. Well, it's not looking good. What's that behind your ear? Is that a quarter? No, it's a malignant cyst. - First of all, malignant cyst doesn't make a lot of sense. A malignant tumor, maybe. Cyst, by definition, is usually not malignant. - What's your zodiac sign? Cancer? Ah, fun! Well, speaking of. - This is memes if they were a doctor is probably the better way of titling that. - What is it? Oh, no. This is fake. She's not. No way. I hope. No! No, don't do this without dental supervision. This is so bad. The reason this is so bad is that your teeth are covered by enamel and damaging enamel is permanent. It doesn't grow back. It's not like getting a bad haircut and, like, trying to cut your own hair and then it regrows. This actually reminds me of one of the episodes where one of the addictions that someone had was checking on nail files and we talked about how dangerous that could be, and this is obviously a more aggressive form of that. - Speaking of dental health, this is actually a great opportunity to talk about Laifen, the sponsor of this video, who I'm sure would agree with me about the right and wrong ways to achieve a happy and healthy smile. Recently, I've been using the Laifen Wave electric toothbrush which uses 60 degree oscillation, meaning the head actually rotates while you brush, mimicking the Bass brushing technique recommended by dentists, allowing you to brush a wider area more effectively. Its servo system has tech inside that used to be reserved for robotic arms but now cleans my teeth. The servo controls the 60 degree oscillations with an accuracy of .1 degree. It means I can trust it to clean precisely where I need it to. Servos and oscillations might sound high tech but it's also a gentle brush too, thanks to the .02 millimeter soft tapered bristles. Unlike other electric toothbrushes, Laifen does not only clean my teeth, but it protects my teeth and gums too. It's got a seamless design so there are no cracks for dirt to get in it and since it's waterproof, super easy to clean. Plus, the brush heads are easily replaceable and much more reasonably priced, which is a relief considering how expensive some of these brushes can get. Click the link in the description to get your Laifen Wave now. All right, let's get back to these TikToks. - I think HPV is a little bit of a scam. - (laughs) I always find it interesting when people say, like, a disease is a scam. I am ecstatic to hear more. - I think that doctors are like, "Oh, every woman gets a strand," and it's just like another thing that makes women scared to have sex. 'Cause it's such a riddle. Like, they'll be like, "Guys can't be tested on them. Oh, you have one of the hundreds of strands, but that one's not cancerous. That one is. Oh, wait. Now it washed out." And it's like, what the (peewoop) is this? - It didn't wash out. You can clear it, meaning that you have a virus and you can get rid of it. There are certain strains that are considered high risk strains because we've seen that if you get this strain the likelihood of you getting cervical cancer goes up. - I wanna tell you from the bottom of my heart that I need you to believe in HPV. (all laughing) - By the way, the one thing about her statement that I do kind of vibe with, if you will, is that fact that men can't be tested. I think that needs to be improved, especially when it comes to, like, oral HPV because it can increase risk of head, neck, and throat cancers. I would hope to see that in the next few years we make advancements on this. But getting the Gardasil vaccine helps protect you from these types of cancer. It's one of the rare vaccines that actually can prevent cancer. Literally, by preventing you getting HPV, you could prevent or decrease the risk of you getting a cancer, a cervical cancer, that is. "POV, wondering why they teach us the Pythagorean theorem and not what we can make own antibiotics with." What? You know why? Because when you're in your house and you're measuring dimensions for your triangular rug, you're gonna be happy you knew about the Pythagorean theorem, but if you need an antibiotic, you come see me in the office and we figure out if you actually need it and if you do, Walgreens, CVS, whichever brand name pharmacy, or you wanna go to your local one, great, they'll make an antibiotic for you (laughs) so you don't need to make potions. - [Liver King] You may have seen the video, fighting with my boys. Oh god. Oh no. No, no, no, no. Tore a bicep tendon head. - Ooh. Do you know what increases your risk of tearing bicep? Steroids. (mouth pops) Which, when we fact check Liver King's initial video, I did not wanna make accusations but I said, "I have suspicions that it's not fully natural." That was the nice way of putting it. And then he made a video saying that he was on it and now he's quitting because he felt it was disingenuous and now he's back on because he missed it. And, you know, everyone's entitled to their own choices but I would not say it's healthy. - I've been told that it requires surgical intervention but I'm the Liver King so I just tell my bicep to heal and it listens. - Okay, no. (laughs) That's not how it works. It's not gonna magically find its way home. (laughs) - Where to? (soft music) - Home. (sighs) I'm going home. (signal beeps) - So what's LK doing in addition to heal? A lot of people have tanning beds. Liver King, I got a red light bed. Right light therapy- - Oh my god. - Restores cellular function, regenerates cells, and triggers blood flow. - I hope people aren't listening to this gentleman anymore, just 'cause, like, he's clearly struggling with his own self image. Yeah, he's been pretty open about that and he's been on and off the steroids. And I'm not saying that in a derogatory or disparaging way, just, like, it's genuine, you're struggling with your own choices, how can you give advice, especially when a lot of the stuff you say is not really based on a foundation of science. - Still wiping your butt with this fluffy white stuff? (ominous music) - Isn't it called toilet paper? - Toilet paper, canceled. Why? Making your favorite TP white, fluffy and soft takes a cocktail of toxic chemicals. - [Mike] This is, like, California Prop 65 where there's a sign that says everything causes cancer. - Many companies use a toxic chemical, formaldehyde, to strengthen their paper, which is not only linked to cancer but can cause severe irritation to your lady parts when your wipe. - There is a very simple saying in toxicology, it's the dose that makes the poison and where the substance appears and how it enters your body makes the poison. So the fact that there was a presence of some chemical at some point on some object that you're rubbing your butt with does not mean that it's directly causing harm. It's like that's an exaggerated state of things. - These chemicals are linked to thyroid disease, infertility issues, and much more. - Any chemical can be linked with any medical problem. Water can be linked with drowning, electrolyte disturbances, but at the same time, without it you can die. Do you see how medicine is a balance and any time you say some extreme ish you can get a lot of views but the IQ does not grow with the views. My muscles got flexed. (static crackling) - Hey, your little 13-year-old daughter has acne, let's put her on birth control to regulate her emotions and regulate her- - What the? - What? - Oh my god, please, please, please. - And now you put 100 million women in the United States on birth control. - (sighs) Oh, man. - Now you have 100 million women urinating highly estrogenated urine into the water supply and water is just a recycled commodity. But the treatment plants, they don't treat for estrogen, neither do they treat for testosterone, so now you have all these feminized men drinking this tap water and you're asking why Alex Jones is realizing that the frogs are gay. - This is why I haven't have any gym gains. (hand thuds) Because women on birth control are peeing in the ocean or something and the fish are becoming effeminate. (laughs) I mean, just. (foot stomps) I hate to laugh and make this not as educational as I wish but, I mean, a great theory, bro. Maybe go to medical school and see if that's a reality before you start saying it on podcasts. Before people would get mad and say, like, "Hey, if you have this wonderful theory, you should probably go test it." But now, it's like if you say it with the correct background music on TikTok with the right captions, you might change some minds, which is really, really scary to me. (Mike sighs) (jaunty music) - Stop eating eggs. Why is nobody talking about how detrimental eggs are for our health? (Mike laughing) - Oh my god, this is already feeling so accurate. - Basically, your morning oatmeal is robbing you of nutrients. - Oh my god, Paul Saladino. - Throw the white bread away. - Oh, Gundry. Oh my god, I'm fading in the chair. - Put it out of sight. (apple crunches) - Stop eating fruit immediately. - (laughs) Oh! - Eating too much fruit is the cause of diabetes. - Oh my god, this is reminding me of my grape short that's gone viral, like, 35 times because Gundry hates grapes. This is how low I'm gonna be for the rest of this because I'm fading. There is a study that shows that consuming anything, any meal, any food, increases rates of colon cancer. You know what also increases rates of colon cancer? Being alive. Being a certain age. I'm getting fatigued in the battle against misinformation. I got fatigued in my fight against Chris Avila but now I'm getting fatigued here too. I lasted more rounds here though. (soft music) Five Minute Crafts I think are worse than TikTok so click here to check this out. You're gonna get a laugh, I just know it. Huge thanks to Laifen for sponsoring this video, and, as always, stay happy and healthy. (upbeat music)
