How A Stay-At-Home Dad Broke 300 World Records

Season 3 · Episode 7

Sunday, March 10, 2024 • Duration 01:22:11

David Rush is an electrical engineer from MIT, but that's not what he's known for. Instead of his impressive scientific achievements, David is in pursuit of becoming the Guinness World Record holder for... holding the most Guinness World Records. He's pushed his body to extreme lengths in his journey to now hold over 160 world records with more coming all the time. I invited him on the show to share his story and detail exactly how he's managed to stay healthy despite the constant physical toll record-breaking has on his body.

The Corruption Behind Med Spas And Vitamin Injections

Season 3 · Episode 7

Sunday, February 25, 2024 • Duration 01:47:48

Bea Amma went to a med spa a few years ago to receive a Vitamin B12 injection, and it nearly took her life. Since that fateful day, Bea has been battling a debilitating case of mycobacterium which has been eating her skin. It's forced Bea out of jobs and caused her to build up millions of dollars of medical debt. Today Bea is here to tell her story, but not just to garner sympathy, rather Bea is an advocate for systemic change, saying we must hold the currently unregulated med spa industry accountable for their spread of misinformation and dangerous, unproven health treatments that can ruin the lives of people they claim to treat.

The Problem With Health Podcasts, Calories In/Out, & The Carnivore Diet | Layne Norton

Season 3 · Episode 4

Sunday, February 11, 2024 • Duration 02:07:08

Layne Norton is scientist, author, and record-setting weight lifter specializing in nutrition. One of my favorite things about Layne is his commitment to debunking misinformation, whether it come from snake oil salesman... or me, which is actually the basis of our relationship. Layne called me out for some comments I had made in the past, and despite our initial adversity, I assured him we had more in common than he realized. So, I invited Layne onto the show to dive deep into the ozempification of weight loss, snake oil salesman, and the problem with modern day health podcasts.

How My Nurse (& Work Mom) Became My Patient

Season 3 · Episode 3

Wednesday, January 24, 2024 • Duration 59:01

Ginny Kaltenbach is not just any nurse, but my nurse, having working alongside me for the last 10 years in New Jersey. Ginny and I are great friends and coworkers, but we developed a new type of relationship this last year where Ginny actually became one of my patients. You see, Ginny was suffering from debilitating pain in her back, and after hearing her side of the story, I realized I wasn't happy with her treatment plan. So, I made Ginny book an appointment with me so we could get to the bottom of her pain. This turned out to be an excellent decision for many reasons detailed in this episode. We don't just talk about Ginny's health though, but also do a deep dive into our relationship and Ginny's opinions on the healthcare system as a nurse who has seen it all, and then some, in over 40 years on the front lines.

“I Can End All Disease” | Confronting Dr. Steven Gundry

Season 2 · Episode 14

Wednesday, December 27, 2023 • Duration 01:45:20

Watch the full video interview here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/GundryVODDr. Steven Gundry began his career as a highly-successful cardiologist and heart surgeon. In more recent years, he has pivoted away from surgery and more into preventive medicine at his clinic in souther California. Dr. Gundry is a highly vocal advocate for a wide variety of highly controversial health claims, often centered on the gut microbiome and "lectins", which are found inside foods like tomatoes and bell peppers that he claims have disastrous effects on your health. Over the years, I've had issues with many of the things Dr. Gundry has said, so when his team reached out about having him come on the show to promote his new book "Gut Check", I was eager at the oppurtunity. That being said, I was quickly to communicate to Dr. Gundry's team that not only would this be a contentious discussion, but that I would also bring in my friend Dr. Danielle Belardo, a heart and diet expert in her own right, to join the discussion and get down to the truth about a number of Dr. Gundry's most extreme claims. To his credit, Dr. Gundry accept, and this conversation is what followed.Follow Dr. Gundry here:Website and pre-orders for Gut Check: https://drgundry.com/YouTube Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrGundryYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GundryMDYTFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GundryMD/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gundrymdFollow Dr. Danielle Belardo here:IG: https://www.instagram.com/daniellebelardomd/Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-belardo-366369241/Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/DBelardoMD
