The Most Bizarre Kickstarter “Health” Products

Kickstarter, Indiegogo, GoFundMe, and so many other crowdfunding sites are full of fitness and health related products, but whether they are reliable and healthy is anyone’s guess until you actually get these items in your hands. Well that’s where I come in, because I nabbed a bunch of the most funded health-related products from Kickstarter and I’m here to give them my seal of approval… or disapproval. Have you tried any of these? Let me know down in the comments which ones work or you want to try!

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

I love how Dr. Mike is simultaneously a very knowledgeable doctor but also a 5-year-old. I respect that.

[dreamsky]

Can we just say that Dr. Mike's apartment/condo is absolutely beautiful.

[kidney]

I'm starting a petition to have Dr. Mike host a real fitness class with Bear as his co-host.
Who is gonna sign it? 😁

A doctor that says "oh, it's expired.... I'ma use it anyways" is a doctor I would trust because it shows me that he is just like any one of us 🤣

Dude, anytime I see a jump-rope marketed with a cable, I just know "that's going to hurt so freaking much when you miss your jump." They market it as 'durable', but jump ropes are like $15, and my nylon one has lasted for 10 years. I will gladly buy a replacement once a decade instead of living in constant fear of missing a jump and getting whipped by a metal cable.

Hey Mike, *BIG* shout out to you for saving my butt not 10 minutes ago. Remember the dog park video you made once upon a time where you were teaching us how to safely break up a dog fight? Had to put this skills to work just now as my Mom's Husky/Husky-Malamute dogs are staying with me during her visit, and one has food aggression when the other approaches their food, so they went at it Lion-King style. Lots of growling. Lots of teeth. Lots of rearing. Lots of scariness as I didn't want them to hurt each other... But thanks to you I knew enough not to go in for the collar grab and grabbed the nearest blanket off the couch and threw it over their heads and was able to pull them apart from each other that way.

The one doggo is x15 years old and largely deaf now and has minor eyesight stuff going on, so it would have been bad if I would have gotten between them to separate them like I would have done in the olden days way back over a decade ago when I was a teen.

Thanks for your help, Mike... You literally saved my skin!

<3

PS - both doggos are fine and cuddling each other on the floor now. Ha!

/One is barely a year old and the other is x15 years old... Things get interesting once in a blue moon ^-^'

Thanks again ;-;

:')

Dr. Mike- is a professional doctor
Also Dr. Mike - *uses expired toothpaste*

"Science Infused Jump Rope!"

"Why is it $60?!"

"Because we infused WITH SCIENCE!"

[strawberrypink.]

I'm glad that Mike showed us a regular jump rope after the Kickstarter one because I was legitimately concerned that he'd never jump roped before

paused at 3:11 Doc not all fabrics my man. I'm a textiles engineer. What they probably mean is that the fabric has the same amount of stretch in any direction you stretch it. Basically different fabrics may be more stretchy from selvage to selvage, or parallel to the selvage at its length and some are more stretchy on the diagonal. now I'd need to draw that to explain it better but that will do for now.

Can we just acknowledge how bear is just the cutest thing ever

[laxus]

My favorite part was when he said "should we give the foot people what they want?" That made me laugh xD

[danielrobillard]

2:14 The Exerbell is simply a basic dry bag used when canoeing or other activities on the water. Instead of putting items inside to keep them dry they put water in the bag and dare to ask for money in a kickstarter that is such a scam.

[kirito_v]

Bro i remember i subbed to you and you had 3.2 or something subscribers and now . Im really proud of you Mike!!

[amadou]

I love these videos where it's not just reactions but also looking a little bit into his life which makes it more relatable.

[danielreher]

Bear doesn't seem impressed. Maybe we should do a video of him testing different home made dog treats. As usual an interesting video to watch.

[memertoire]

I love how evertime dr. Mike messes up the jumprope the music stops and then continues when he tries again 😂 the editing is awesome.

[Jay-Zech]

Bear is adorable, makes me miss my dog even though she’s just a couple rooms over.🤣
Also, using expired toothpaste isn’t very doctor like is it, Mike?😂

[darkfang]

Doctor mike is a icon, the new MC dreamy, Talented doctor and now a physical trainer, the man is a legend !!

[jason-paulwells]

You are such a delightful person to watch. The positivity and humor you bring to everyday things makes my day. Keep up the great work!
