- Besides, flat bellies are unhealthy.
Our organs need space to work properly
and fat gives that space.
(blows raspberry)
What do you mean they need space?
I've seen a ton of bad medical takes on Twitter
but Sam here has compiled a full list
for me to pop my blood vessels over.
Huge thanks to Audible for sponsoring this video.
(imitates beeping)
If you were almost healthy, you'd like how your pee tastes.
If you were actually healthy, you wouldn't be peeing at all.
Bro. (circus music)
My head is level 10, about to explode.
First of all, what is almost healthy?
And no, you shouldn't like how your pee tastes.
That is not something that is ideal here
for any reason whatsoever.
If you're not peeing at all, that is not healthy.
That means there's something going on.
Dehydration, kidney failure, something else happening.
Where do I even begin?
Yeah, did my guy draw, see,
someone could be judging this unfairly.
They might think this is the hu, no, no.
They thought their arm had a rib cage. (laughs)
They're just a humerus, ulna, radius.
Cold showers resets your vitals.
If it resets your vital, that's basically a defibrillator.
That's a problem.
Imagine every time you hop in the shower
and you accidentally had it cold,
you just shock yourself. (laughs)
Even though those that are suffering hypertension
are advice to take cold showers, great medication.
Intelligent use of water can eliminate 80%
of all lifestyle diseases, I dare say all.
You dare say?
Because imagine you came into my office and in 80% of cases,
I just told you to go
and take a cold shower. (water drips)
You'd not be very happy with me.
In fact, you wouldn't even pay for my services.
They just have showers in the emergency room.
A few years ago, a guy I've known for years,
a marathon runner, told me he couldn't get Lyme disease
when running through the woods because he ran too fast
(laughs) for the ticks to bite him.
All it takes is for one of the ticks
to grab onto your clothes and then later in the day
start leaching on and feeding.
According to TikTok, rings will leave a dark line
if you have anemia.
(loading bar gurgles)
What?
Okay, you're anemic if you have low hemoglobin,
low hematocrit, low iron, not if your jewelry is cheap.
Myth, you should drink a glass of juice in the morning.
Fact, you shouldn't drink it on an empty stomach
because the acid acts aggressively on. (laughs)
I love that this page is called rhinos_gains.
Do they look at rhinos and what they do
and they're like, (bell dings)
"Oh, we gotta make this happen."
I don't even know what this advice is,
but drink a glass of water in the morning.
It's important.
You can absorb the vitamin D from midday sun,
like 12 to two, generally.
Kind of misinformation
'cause you don't actually absorb the vitamin.
Your body with the UV rays can transform the vitamin
within you to be a usable form.
'Cause it's not like you're photosynthesis.
Actually, I guess it's kinda like photosynthesis.
Sugar keeps your energy up and your appetite down.
Nibble on a cookie an hour before lunch.
Is this, no, no, no.
I was about to lose my mind on this,
but I'm 90% sure that this is fake.
It looks so Photoshopped that I refuse to give it any
of my energy right now.
96% total, that's almost everybody, but get your clicks.
Wait, whoa, whoa.
CDC says only 31% of men and 65% of women
wash their hands after using the restroom.
(laughs) Oh, yeah, you don't add up
the percentages together.
But yeah, a lot of people don't wash their hands
after the restroom.
My charitable thinking is that they're using hand sanitizer,
but I don't think that holds true for everybody.
Back to the tweets in just a second,
but first I wanna thank Audible for sponsoring this video.
Last week, I was lucky enough to interview Lori Gottlieb
about her book, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone.
I found this book on Audible and was so into it,

including our own experiences going to therapy.

to my interview with Lori Gottlieb.
All right, let's get back to these tweets.
Veganism makes you age faster
because your cells are mostly made up of fat and protein,
the two things vegans don't eat.
Well, they don't eat animal fat. They could still eat fat.
Coconut oil has a ton of fat.
And protein, there's a ton of protein that vegans eat.
Beans. I love beans.
Black beans. (gasps)
Black beans, so good, so rich in fiber.
Why are you running?
Do you compete in some sort of running event?
If not, stop running.
It can't even be regarded as exercise.
Running is a very unhealthy catabolic
and destructive physical activity.
No.
If this person really thought to themselves
at what rate we have obesity in this country
and how it's detrimental to human health,
that if we can even get a small percentage
of people to run and exercise how many lives
would be improved and saved,
they would probably delete this tweet.
That's my charitable thinking.
New Zealand is making period products free
in all schools.
All this is gonna do is encourage girls
to have their periods at school.
I don't think this is a good idea.
I hope that's a sick joke
because you don't decide when you have your period.
This person must not know much about female anatomy.
Happy Valentine's Day, I'm swearing off men.
I'm vaccinated if that's a concern
and I heard the vaccine can be sexually transmitted.
Like I could pass it on to you. (laughs)
If you get that on a dating app, you should panic.
And on a dating app, you probably wanna know what types
of vaccine that person received.
Did they just get a COVID vaccine
or did they also get an HPV vaccine?
'Cause that matters too and actually prevents cancers.
That's right, it prevents HPV,
which is one of the leading causes of cervical cancer
and preventable cases of cervical cancer.
Acne should not be normalized.
It is a reflection of error in diet and-or lifestyle.
Terrible medical take. Terrible, terrible.
- Terrible.
- A huge percentage of acne has nothing
to do with lifestyle habits.
It has a lot to do with genetic factors, hormonal factors,
things essentially outside of your control.
So please don't blame people when they have acne
as if it was a choice.
Elon Musk, Adderall is an anger amplifier.
Avoid at all costs.
I hate statements like this!
Even if you're an individual who thinks
that we are over-prescribing medications like Adderall,
which is a medication used for ADHD, as an example,
you don't voice it like this.
This lacks nuance, Elon.
Imagine you're a child who truly needs and benefits
from Adderall and as a result,
you are now deathly afraid to take it
'cause you're a fan of Elon Musk.
Way to go, bro.
Please reconsider saying you're burnt
or you must burn easily.
That is an unhelpful invocation that can make
an unconscious mind feel vulnerable and fearful of the sun.
This is not a burn. This is light nutrition.
I haven't had one unpleasant sensation for my skin
because I don't wish to separate from it.
I welcome this color. What?
You have UV radiation burn on your skin.
In fact, if you stayed out a little bit longer,
what may happen is you'd form blisters,
very painful blisters.
Anyone who's had a sunburn will tell you that.
Having even a few of these throughout your lifetime
increases your risk for serious skin cancer.
If daughter has diabetes, then it's incredibly likely
that you are at fault.
Be a better parent and provide your child
with a healthy diet.
Um, hold on one second.
There are two types of diabetes out there,
type two diabetic largely occurring later in life,
potentially as a result of a specific type of diet.
But type one diabetic is an autoimmune condition
that you have little to no control over its development.
What are you talking about?
If a child is born with an autoimmune condition
where the immune system attacks it's insulin-releasing cells
how is that the child's fault?
Or the parent's fault? Or anyone's fault, for that matter?
If you can find a blood doctor,
he can help you clean your blood.
It may take up to six months, but well worth it.
I know a man who's doing it right now. (laughs)
Okay, a blood doctor's a hematologist
and I promise you hematologists
aren't going around cleaning blood.
The only way that you can really clean your blood
is to do like a dialysis.
If you're going through dialysis,
that means your kidneys have failed.
And that could also make sense
if you're following some kinda weird,
unhealthy, health regimen.
Germs do not cause disease.
Is that a hill you wanna die on? (laughs)
I'm just curious.
Are you gonna say germs don't cause disease
but germs causing some kind of dysfunction
in your body lead to disease?
No. Germs cause disease.
But at the same time, there are some germs
that could help our bodies, that are symbiotic
with our bodies, that we need to function well,
that we used to derive nutrients from certain foods.
So not all germs cause disease is a fair statement,
but do not cause disease is misinformation.
Actually, smoking is pretty healthy.
The tar, come on, bro. This is a joke.
It says the tar coats your lungs and serves
as a shield against real pollutants like asbestos.
Bro, real pollutants?
Did you ever see the ingredients list
of what's in a cigarette?
Check this out.
Muscle generated from plants as opposed to lean meat
will be lost much faster.
Bro, show me a study!
And not something that you just said
while you were eating food.
HIV does not cause AIDS.
Biggest cause of aids is malnutrition,
then substance abuse with burnout lifestyle.
What is, what happens on Twitter?
Check out my interview with psychotherapist
and bestselling author, Lori Gottlieb, right here.
Super interesting conversation. I really enjoyed it.
I know you will too.
As always, stay happy and healthy.
