I was a funeral director for a few years and I remember a time when a family member of a decedent was waiting to go into an arrangement, they came up to me after I had finished up with a family and told me it was incredibly unprofessional of our funeral home staff to be laughing in the back room while there were families waiting to be seen. I checked in the office and there was only one other funeral director quietly working back there. I realized that the he had overheard an arrangement in the next room where the family was laughing and sharing wonderful stories of their loved one. Everyone grieves differently. Some find it a relief that their loved one is no longer in pain or want to celebrate that they had lived a beautiful, full life. For others it can be incredibly traumatizing and joy is sucked out of life for a long time. It can be so hard when someone you love dies and the world doesn't stop, just yours does.

I think this should be titled different. There is very little discussion on the dangers of vaping but so much more to this conversation that people need to be aware of.
Thank you for the insight of information.

"PERFECT IS NOT JUST AN ILLUSION ITS A TOXIC ILLUSION"

“Put on your shoes” that is literally a perfect simple way to put it! It’s so true, everything is a huge effort when you’re struggling mentally, but every effort can make a difference over time. And small things can make a bigger difference than you think if you give it the time to produce an effect.

My dogs have been the single biggest impact on improving my mental health. Taking them to the park to play with other dogs is my favorite thing to do. I'm in tears now just typing this.

I am a psychologist and have been working as a Clinical Communications Tutor at the Medical School, helping students and future doctors become more effective communicators with their patients, families, and co-workers. Dr. Mike is absolutely right—it's crucial to find ways to provide information to patients without overwhelming them. Simply being in a hospital or doctor's office is already a stressful experience that can hinder understanding. It's wonderful that we now have various platforms to share information and guidance in a clear and accessible manner, free from jargon.

Watching this right now and had to share…I lost my brother to suicide in January this year and then got a puppy a month ago. She has pulled me out of the hole that I wasn’t able to pull myself out of. Dogs (and lots of other animals) really are therapy. Sometimes you don’t want to talk about it and you can just snuggle with your fluffy baby ❤

[dariiakaraianu]

I don’t believe Dr. Mike has ever been as open and as vulnerable as he was in this interview. I’m very impressed, he is not just a pretty face.
A few years ago and I saw him walking his dog, should have came up introduced myself.

[colleenwilliams]

You have kept your promise of better guests. thanks.

[loriadams]

Thank you again for showing the other side of the medical world. Listening to him has given me a better view on today’s doctors.
Also in April, my stepson had a cardiac arrest in a movie theater. His friends noticed he was having a seizure which in turn was suffering a cardiac arrest. 2 seats down was a cardiac doctor and his fiancée who was a nurse. Immediately they began CPR while one of his friends called out for help. THANK YOU for showing how important CPR is and calling out!!
He is alive and well today. ❤️🙏

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, alcoholism, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

The shoes and grooming thing are so true. In my darkest days I always cleaned and took care of my appearance and put on shoes and went out. I always felt better after. Now that life is amazing I look back and am thankful for each tough step I took.

[journeytohealthafter]

I could have listened to this all day! What a REAL n HONEST conversation! I have never heard of this gentleman and you can bet he is now on my podcast rotation as CEO is. The common sense and rational balance talk Dr. Mike speaks is, well 🤯. I have completed LOST my faith in the medical professionals and community being treated HORRIBLE by so many drs. At 62 I grabbed a bit of hope back listening to him. Bless his soul 🙏🙏🙏

[cristiannaJ]

Probably one of my favorite episodes ever!! So much great information and so realistic. Sometimes, the guests on DOAC feel like they're salespeople. They're selling a lifestyle, a book, an idea, or something, and the tone of the conversation reflects that. This felt different. I am rethinking my relationship with supplements and really my health in general. So thank you!

[maggiepie]

This is such an interesting podcast. Not only is Doctor Mike an amazing guest, but you're a great interviewer.

I had the same thing happen as you described about hospital staff laughing, talking about their weekend, etc. as my partner of 26 years and father of my children lay dying in a medically induced coma. You are a better human than myself as I went ballistic on them. I told them they needed to be more professional and described what a wonderful person that body lying in that bed was. They were apologetic and I thanked them for their apology and understanding. In my defense, I was in an extremely fragile, emotional state… Angry, sad, scared, you name it, and I was it.

Buddhism believes that life = suffering. The root cause of this suffering is desiring pleasure. Abstinence and pulling back from chasing dopamine hits can reduce suffering.

This man is an incredible hero. He’s not just a doctor. I’m listening to every word and I absolutely love everything you say I’m 61. I’ve lived a long time and he’s right about everything. He’s being so honest everybody just wants to make money and I believe that doctors get kicked back on a lot of these pharmaceuticals.
That’s how something happened to me and now I’m not taking an anti-chemo because it could create another problem rather than just leave alone what I have.

Thank you for always having the greatest program and yes, everybody needs to subscribe!!
