Real Doctor Reacts to The Game Changers 'VEGAN' Documentary

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding the “vegan” documentary The Game Changers. In fact, during my office hours, it seemed like every other patient had questions for me on the topic. Many of my friends texted me asking similar questions. Instead of micro analyzing every point in the documentary I decided to approach it from a broad stroke perspective.

If you have an idea of something you want me to cover in-depth, please let me know because I take your requests seriously. We will be back with more Medical Drama Review/Responding to comments Series in a couple of weeks, so please submit more names of shows/questions you'd like for me to watch/answer. I love you all! - Doctor Mike Varshavski

The fact he’s a doctor aside, Dr. Mike really behaves like an educated person. He spends the time to know the situation fully, admits biases and states conclusions like an educated opinion and not fact. True quality content.

Why is no one pointing out that doctor mike always says I think. He never says that something IS like that. ❤️

Mike: "you shouldn't eat processed food"
Me, eating a grape popsicle: *I agree*

"A debate is about winning. A conversation is about truth seeking together." Exactly!

I think the biggest struggle with veganism and the "debate" between vegans and non vegans is that most vegans (myself included) decided to go vegan purely based on moral and ethical reasons. A person's diet is something that can be highly personal to them regardless of the type of diet that they consume, many people identify themselves with their foods, so it's hard to have a conversation about diet without letting your personal beliefs get in the way of that. It's not easy to stay objective about something that is so important to you.

Dr. Mike: "I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that"

My chem teacher taught me that in an experiment you are actually trying to falsify a hypothesis rather than proving it and by failing to falsify you are proving the hypothesis/theory

My mom : Why are you even watching this guy? He is boring
Me : Why not?

An hour later
Me : Why are you watching him? I thought he was boring?
My mom : He's hot

I think the reason a lot of vegans say that they completely want to go against humans consuming any animal products is because of the intense harm and cruelty being imposed to the animals we consume as part of increased industrialisation and mechanisation of animal farms. And it is a reality that everyone should wake up to, not that all animal products are unhealthy of course, but yes the way it is processed and the cruel manner in which these businesses treat their bait should also be brought to attention, which really makes people question whether eating ANY meat at all is truly MORALLY acceptable, especially in the modernised world. I don't know if this point was made in this documentary though because I have not seen it but yes the extreme animal exploitation in farms is a reality all vegans want the world to wake up to.

You know it's a serious video when we didn't get the "beaa-woop"

Who else is excited they woke up early for once hahaha

Hey Dr. Mike, could you do a mental health video on the importance of the stories we tell ourselves about our own lives? People experiencing a rough time, or people who have just come through a rough time, have better outcomes if they’re able to frame those experiences in a positive way--as a story of themselves overcoming great odds, becoming a better person, finding meaning in their lives, etc. Also, something on Harvard’s Grant study.

Since going plant based vegan, I feel so vibrant and energetic!

[megs]

Your matching shirt and tie is so cute lol. Love how you dress up to film videos for us 😂

I cut down 80% of social media and 100% of Television - I am much healthier

[feliciarobertson]

Personally, and my bias is that I am vegan, I felt the documentary wasn’t really to compare. I believe it was to debunk the myth that we are weak, skinny, and non-athletic.
I realize others may view this as a comparison, but even Arnold said consider switching some foods for plant-based options.

I am a vegetarian and have been consuming more veggies and fruits in my attempt to try vegan diet. And my body is loving that. Having said that, I haven't completely eliminated dairy products as I still take curd & cottage cheese along with some clarified butter. Feel pretty healthy and energetic. No complaints as of now.
