Wednesday, August 5, 2026 • Duration 32:50

💬 "Willpower is finite. Your environment is infinite."

⚡ In this episode, I break down why healthy habits don't fail because you're lazy or undisciplined—they fail because the system around you is working against you. From gym memberships and diet companies that profit when you quit to the science behind your brain's reward system, I'll show you why motivation isn't enough and what actually helps healthy habits stick for the long term.

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

➡ Why your environment matters more than willpower when building healthy habits

The Checkups Every Man Needs

Season 8 · Episode 472

Wednesday, June 3, 2026 • Duration 21:24

💬 "We want to be here as long as we can—as healthy as we can. And to do that, we have to be aggressive with the prevention, not the treatment."

⚡ In this episode, I discuss why so many men delay routine healthcare until it's too late—and how that mindset is quietly leading to preventable strokes, heart attacks, diabetes complications, and late-stage disease. From screenings, labs, to health checkups, I cover what men should actually be getting in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s, while explaining why prevention has to become more aggressive long before treatment is ever needed.

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

➡ The routine screenings men should prioritize from their 20s to 50s
➡ Why "I feel fine" is one of the most dangerous mindsets in men's health
➡ The real reason men are often diagnosed after problems have already progressed
➡ How family history changes when you should start getting tested
➡ Why prevention gives you more options than treatment ever will

Is Sexual Health Awareness Important

Season 7 · Episode 383

Wednesday, September 11, 2024 • Duration 13:12

So, let's talk about sexual health awareness and its importance in our overall well-being…

How comfortable are you talking about sexual health with your family or friends?

September is Sexual Health Awareness Month, and we're back with yet another episode to encourage ongoing and inclusive discussions about this health concern.

In today's podcast, we will discuss why this month is important, and when this month goes away, what do we do, moving forward. We're going to highlight the importance of education, open conversations, and reducing stigma surrounding sexual health, and also cover why men often hesitate to discuss sexual health issues, and how sexual health isn't just about avoiding diseases, but more about the physical and emotional well-being of oneself.

Although widely considered a taboo subject, join me as we foster healthy discussions, reduce stigma, and empower each other toward better sexual health. Together, let's break the silence, embrace the conversation, and prioritize our sexual health.

Why you need to check this episode:

Discover why sexual health awareness is important, as well as the Sexual Health Awareness Month;
Recognize the need for open conversations about sexual health, be that with children or adults;
Learn why men often hesitate to discuss sexual health issues; and
Understand the importance of advocating for accessible sexual health education for all demographics and utilizing Sexual Health Awareness Month for education and awareness beyond just September

"It's so extremely important that we understand that the access to this information be available to as many people, and it doesn't matter their age, their gender, and their orientation. Good sexual health education is important for everyone because everyone benefits from it. There's no point to be gatekeeping this type of information." – Dr. Berry Pierre

Notable Quotes:

"If you can't have them [sexual health conversations] with the kids, you're definitely not having them with the adults."

Navigating My Career Pivot With Dr. Sharon Smith

Season 7 · Episode 382

Wednesday, September 4, 2024 • Duration 43:33

So, let's talk about career pivots and the value of continuous education and training with Dr. Sharon Smith...

Unlike many who enter medicine unsure of the path they're going to take, today's guest knew from the start that she wanted to be an obstetrician-gynecologist. Even when people around her tried to invite her to do something else, she didn't falter and continued with what she wanted to do.

But then, the pandemic came, a.k.a. one of the toughest times in medicine. And with the extreme burnout and having to deal with the pain of losing her father, she knew she needed to make a change.

And so, she did. She pursued aesthetics and served in locum tenens of obstetrics and gynecology. This shift later changed her life for the better, helping her achieve work-life balance and better self-care.

So, if you're curious about how she was able to take the leap, or if you just want to learn about aesthetic medicine and procedures associated with it, tune in and join us as we talk about her story.

Guest's bio:

Dr. Sharon Smith is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist with over 15 years of experience and has always had a strong interest in the beauty industry. This later on led her to transition to aesthetic medicine after realizing the need to pivot, especially after the pandemic. She's currently serving as a part-time obstetrician and gynecologist while working full-time on her aesthetic and obesity medicine practice.

Why you need to check this episode:

Discover the work obstetrician-gynecologists and aesthetic physicians do;
Recognize the importance of continuous education and training to achieve excellence in what you do;
Understand the significance of building strong and nurturing relationships with patients; and
Learn about aesthetic procedures while learning what the terms "OB Deserts", "Platelet Rich Plasma" (PRP), and O-Shot mean

"For you to become proficient and skilled at what you do, you have to put training upfront, and you have to know that you're going to train and train again and update yourself and learn new techniques and hone your craft. That's the only way you're going to get good and become excellent at what you do."

Answering Youtubes Pressing Covid-19 Questions

Season 7 · Episode 381

Wednesday, August 28, 2024 • Duration 19:27

So, let's talk about the comments people left on our "Are COVID Cases Rising Again?" video…

I haven't talked much about COVID-19 this year, because aside from the fact that there are other things we need to discuss, I also know people are trying to move on from talking about it.

However, in one of our recent episodes where we discussed the rise in cases once again, we received comments mostly about virus and vaccine fallacies.

I don't know where they get their information, but it's hilarious how those who seem to really disdain COVID-19 like following me and commenting on my content.

So today, we're going to bring a little bit of comedic relief to our channel by giving a bit of shine on them.

We're still going to talk about COVID-19, but we're going to make it a little bit light, a little educational, but also kind of poking back.

So, join me as we give a shout-out and debunk misconceptions our anti-vax people have always had.

Why you need to check this episode:

Discover the most common misconceptions about COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines, as seen through comments people left on this channel;
Recognize the importance of preventive health measures, such as being vaccinated and wearing masks, especially for those who are in high-risk industries; and
Understand how humor can be used in health education

"I haven't talked about COVID much this year, only because [there are] things to talk about and I know people are trying to move on. But what I found interesting with this video and with the comments is that we may have to add COVID [discussions] once a month or something, because we get comments like this which let us know that the education still needs to be had." – Dr. Berry Pierre

Notable Quotes:

"You got to understand where their mindset is. They don't believe COVID is real. They don't believe COVID-19 is significant. So, they don't even understand why a hairstylist would want to even protect themselves from it." – Dr. Berry Pierre

"Shout out to medical technology—saves another life. We get a shout out to medical technology. I think a lot of times, especially with this day and age, where we got handheld devices that can send faxes and edit pictures and videos...

Why Covid-19 and the Flu are NOT the Same Thing

Season 7 · Episode 380

Wednesday, August 21, 2024 • Duration 19:25

So, let's talk about why COVID-19 and the flu are NOT the same thing…

A couple of weeks ago, in our "Are COVID Cases Rising Again?" episode, we discussed the rise in COVID-19 cases amid the summertime surge.

Unfortunately, while it was well-received, a lot of the comments were very similar to what it was like in 2021 to 2022.

As cases rise again, some people still think that COVID-19 and the flu are the same thing.

But they are NOT, and a lot of numbers show that.

While they are both respiratory diseases with some similarities in transmission and symptoms, COVID-19 is significantly more contagious and deadly than the flu.

In a four-year stretch alone (2020-2024), more people have died from COVID-19 than the amount of people who have died from the flu since it first began (1800s-present).

So, join me in this episode as we discuss the similarities, but more importantly—the differences between the two. Together, let's stop pressing on any discussion that tries to put COVID-19 in the same bucket as the flu.

Why you need to check this episode:

Learn about the similarities, but more importantly, the differences between COVID-19 and the flu;
Discover why people often think that COVID-19 and the flu are the same thing;
Find out why COVID-19 is considered more severe than the flu, especially considering the contagiousness and duration of the disease; and
Recognize the importance of educating oneself and not continuing to be uninformed when the information is just right here for you

"Is COVID-19 and the flu the same thing? Absolutely not. Are there some similarities? Yes. There are some similarities with how they're transmitted; not the rate, but how they're transmitted. There are some similarities with some of the symptoms you may develop when it first hits you. There are some similarities when we talk about some of the complications that can occur if you get COVID or flu. There are some similarities when we talk about how we prevent it. But after that, the detour occurs. The hospitalizations, the rate of transmissions, deaths, the types of viruses that cause it, some of the complications—the detour is there. Don't let anyone tell you again that COVID-19 and the flu are the same thing and that we should act as if COVID-19 and the flu are the same thing." – Dr. Berry Pierre

Sweden Reports New Monkeypox Case

Friday, August 16, 2024 • Duration 29:37

In today's episode of Real Physician Reacts, we're diving into the recent resurgence of Monkeypox, specifically the first reported case of the new strain in Sweden. This development has prompted the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) to declare a global health emergency. I'm Dr. Berry Pierre, and we'll explore why this disease is back in the spotlight, what makes this new strain more concerning, and what you need to know to stay informed.

Episode Summary:

This episode highlights the re-emergence of Monkeypox, focusing on the recent case in Sweden. The new strain, known as clade 1, is more transmissible and lethal than previous versions. With a higher fatality rate and the ability to spread more easily, this strain has raised significant concerns on a global scale. We discuss the importance of staying informed about these developments, particularly as the world continues to grapple with various health challenges.

Key Takeaways:

Monkeypox in Sweden: The first reported case of the clade 1 strain outside of Africa marks a significant global health concern.
Clade 1 Strain: This strain is more dangerous due to its higher transmission rate and increased fatality.
Global Vigilance: Staying informed about these developments is essential to understanding the potential risks and impacts.

Quotes:

"When W.H.O. declares this emergency, you best believe that we need to kind of keep an eye because, you know, remember where this is? Summertime, right? Where everyone's outside, everyone's traveling, everyone's doing them, and the world is a lot smaller than we may think." – Dr. Berry Pierre

"This strain that we're talking about now, clade 1, is more transmissible, which means more cases can be spread because of the disease. And it's also more virulent, meaning the fatality rate is higher." – Dr. Berry Pierre

"We just need to say all right, especially if you're in the United States, we just have to think like, okay, we just need to keep an eye on this. We should keep an eye on this." – Dr. Berry Pierre
