I love how angry he gets but still explains eveything for us to understand his anger. he is a gem.

as someone who really struggles with insomnia, your "stop making false promises" rant was very validating, thank you

[laurenroper]

As someone who used to be morbidly obese, the weight loss trends are sickening to me. It really preys on people's desperation and further damages the way people feel about their bodies when they don't get the results they're promised.

8:04 I love how Dr Mike started screaming at the boots energy. I laughed so hard

[flamewing]

He’s spent so much time memorizing doctor terms that he forgot what evaporating was.

[CndnHippo]

As a person with a chronic illness, thank you SO MUCH for your rant about medical promises from random tiktokers. It does make us feel like we're broken and less than.
Hearing doctors make this rant is really validating

[AidanAbrahamGogi]

As a person who once suffered insomnia, it really does hurt. The world feels smaller, and you feel overwhelmed, and literally feel afraid to sleep.

Seriously when you said, "You like beets? Then EAT BEETS! You like oranges? Then EAT ORANGES!" got me dying lol. XD

[meganrehard]

I grew up in a very “diet” orientated family. DR.MIKE actually helped me put a perspective on “actual” healthy lifestyles and how one should eat to maintain healthy eating habits !

[laurendoe]

General rule: Do not take nutrition (or ANY) advice from social media; always seek out credible sources, preferably peer-reviewed. Yes, it's true peer-reviewed has its flaws... but allowing anyone to say whatever they feel like isn't one of them.

Also thank you for the alkaline water rant.

Once had a coworker tell me I could cure acid reflux by drinking water with lemon juice in it, because it would make my body alkaline. The fact that we were at WORK and the boss was right there (and a big fan of pseudo-woo himself) was the only reason she didn't get schooled.

The only doctor youtuber I trust, keep up with the good work!. "IT DOESN'T EVEN SAY BOOST, IT SAYS BOOTS!"I DIED .

[Panda]

At this point I feel like we need a 5 hour long compilation of Dr. Mike absolutely losing his mind over misinformation.


Edit: Holy $hit, this blew up like crazy! 😳

[haggis]

"bro why do you eat fries before your burger?"
the actual answer is: fries only taste worse the colder they get, so you eat the fries first cause your burger's gonna taste fine a little bit colder and it's gonna cool down a bit slower anyway

[possomt]

Love your bringing people off the internet and back into reality. Your reactions are very funny but also so important to clear up misinformation

[Jaxsonp]

0:03 As a mac-and-cheese expert, MIX THE DAMN SAUCE MORE

[quit]

"IT DOESN'T EVEN SAY BOOST, IT SAYS BOOTS!"
I DIED 😭😭😂😂😂

[straightbusta]

"What did I miss in this video, why are we slapping ourselves with cheese?"

Oh Doctor Mike, you are not missing out on the Nikocado Avocado rabbit hole

[TheMeggize]

Doctor Mike I love you even more, after watching more of your older videos today!! You are always teaching me things 😊❤

[ryenjablonski]

ok, so, mike can have a 6 day job at a hospital working 18 hours a day, balance a YouTube channel and upload once(ish) a week, and find the time to work out twice a day AND be able to have time to go to boxing matches? sounds like a superhuman to me.
