US DR. MIKE, DR. MIKE, GOOD TO
SEE YOU.
CARNIVOIRE DIET?
SENSE THAT EATING A DIET THAT'S
PLANT-BASED, RICH IN VEGETABLES
IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO.
THIS DIET COMPLETELY EXCLUDES
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AND SAYS
YOU SHOULD ONLY EAT MEAT TO LOSE
WEIGHT, THAT'S INCREDIBLE AND I
WILL EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS
HAPPENING.
SOCIAL MEDIA ALGORITHMS BECAUSE
THE THINGS ARE MOST EXTREME GET
THE FRONT PAGE POPULARITY ON YOU
TUBE, FACEBOOK, THIS IS WHAT
POPS UP TO INTERESTING, IT'S SO
WEIGHT THAN PLANT-BASED DIET AND
PEOPLE CLICK ON IT AND GAINS
POPULARITY AND TRACTION AND YOU
HAVE ALL OF THESE EXPERTS WHO
CLAIM TO KNOW ALL WHEN THEY ARE
DOING ARE PUSHING
UNSUBSTANTIATED THEORIES AND
DOING EXCERPTS ON THEMSELVES.
NO PROOF THAT THIS WORKS.
MARIA: YOU LOOK AT ADKINS WHICH
WAS ALL THE CRAZE, THE IDEA IS
YOU'RE BURNING, MIKE.
MIKE: YOU TAKE IN A LOT OF FAT
AND YOUR BODY BURNS FAT.
IT'S A LOT OF BETTER SOMEONE
DRINKS A GREEN JUICE OR PORTER
HOUSE.
MARIA: THE MIND GOES WHERE IT'S
MORE ATTRACTIVE.
MIKE: YOU NEED TO HAVE A
BALANCED DIET.
DAGEN: HOW ABOUT EAT FEWER
CALORIES AND GET UP YOUR BUTT
AND EXERCISE.
>> IN THEORY THAT'S HOW THE IT
ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK
AT PROCESSED MEETS, FOR EXAMPLE,
THERE ARE LEVEL ONE CARCINOGEN
BECAUSE IT'S BEEN PROVEN BEYOND
ALL REASONABLE DOUBT JUST LIKE
TOBACCO AND -- PROCESSED MEATS
ELIMINATED FROM DIET.
THINK AWESOME, DO THAT AS LONG
AS YOU KILL AND CLEAN ALL THE
MEAT THAT YOU'RE EATING, YOU
KNOW, LIKE OLD-SCHOOL SOUTHERN
GRANDMA GOES IN THE BACKYARD TO
KILL THE CHICK AND KILLS IT, IF
YOU'RE GOING TO EAT LIKE THAT,
THUMBS UP FOR ME.
MARIA: NEW STUDY FROM
ARE LOSING MONEY BY NOT CHOPPING
AROUND FOR MEDICAL PROCEDURES,
STUDY SHOW THAT 40% OF MEDICAL
PROCEDURES HAVE REDUCED PRICES
AND THIS IS IMPORTANT AND
IMPACTING LUTE OF PEOPLE, IS
THERE ANY VALIDITY TO THIS?
>> THERE'S A LOT OF VALIDITY,
PRICING TRANSPARENCY IN THE
HEALTH CARE FIELD IS HORRIBLE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT PROCEDURES
COST AS A DOCTOR, MY PATIENTS
DON'T KNOW WHAT PROCEDURES COST,
I WOULD SAY 60% OF THE TIME
THESE ARE EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
AND THEY DON'T HAVE AN OPTION TO
SHOP AROUND BUT 40% OF THE TIME
THEY DO HAVE THE OPTION TO SHOP
AROUND AND PRICES HAVE GONE UP
SO SUBSTANTIALLY THAT THEY'VE
OUTPACED EARNINGS AND INCOME FOR
MY PATIENTS SO PEOPLE ARE GOING
INTO DEBT BECAUSE THERE'S NO
PRICING TRANSPARENCY IN ORDER
FOR MARKET FORCES TO LOWER COSTS
YOU NEED TO HAVE TRANSPARENCY,
YOU LOOK AT COSMETIC INDUSTRY
AREN'T INVOLVED YOU CAN MAKE
KNOW WHAT'S BEING CHARGED.
KNOW IF MRI IS GOING TO BE
CHEAPER AT ONE PLACE THAN
ANOTHER PLACE?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
DAGEN: YOU CAN'T EVEN GO GET AN
MRI.
YOU CAN'T WALK INTO AN IMAGING
INSTITUTION AND SAY, WHAT DO YOU
CHARGE FOR MRI, I NEED MRII WILL
PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET?
MARIA: YOU TO GET PRESCRIPTION.
MIKE: TECHNOLOGY IS COMING
THAT'S GOING HELP IT.
>> USE SOME OF THE APPS
AVAILABLE FOR PRICING
TRANSPARENCY, ALWAYS ARGUE YOUR
BILLS WITH HOSPITALS, INSURANCE
COMPANIES AND THE THIRD IS FOCUS
