Dr. Story is absolutely right! You have to discuss concerns and better habits with your doctor in order to have a healthy and better lifestyle without a lot of medications being prescribed!

I'm 74 and had been healthy until late last year. I began suffering from severe edema and inflammation in both feet and ankles. The Swelling was extreme and the inflammation on the tops of feet and up the ankles was to the point that the skin was flaking off to the point of frequent bleeding. Early one morning the pain was so severe that I went to Urgent Care (I had not been to a doctor for over 12 years.). There were 5 different doctors that stopped in to look me over. I told each of them that I had a long history of gout BUT these symptoms were not consistent with gout. Each of them agreed that my symptoms were not an indication of gout. They made some blood draws but did not check Uric Acid level and or gout crystals from the joints. Finally in the afternoon they said I was to be released. They determined that I had gout - even though they had not tested the blood for the 2 items that may indicate gout. When I got home, I went back on the low carb/high fat diet that had been my norn until several months earlier when I was recovering from Covid. During my Covid recovery I had begun eating excessive amounts of carbs and sweets because they made me feel better I thought. Now, back on the low carbs, it took several months for my edema and inflammation to leave me completely but it finally did. I am now back to normal with only a few age related aches and pains. I have lost 28 lbs that I had gained. I walk and bicycle every day and very seldom eat anything sweet. For me, life just seems to be better without doctors. One more thing: NO GOUT ATTACKS...

Way cool on your story. I'm surprised you returned to carbs even with the advent of Covid which was a big reason to "soothe ourselves" with carbs. My mental health has been so much better since the day I went low carb that it is terrifying to even think of eating high-carb veggies no less grains and pasta. No ice cream in 5 years. But there is Equal Exchange 92% cacao dark chocolate that I'm okay with.

@@kathym6603 I was unvaxxed. Covid hit me hard and did not want to release me back to a normal life. It took a couple of months before I returned to some semblance of normal. By that time I was again addicted to sweets and carbs as I thought they were helping me feel better. Now I am back to a lowcarb/highfat diet and will stay this course. Feeling good without carbs is my norm again.

I love watching you and your sense of humor. 😊

I appreciate that

If you haven’t already seen it, I highly recommend a 1991 move called The Doctor starring William Hurt. In the movie Hurt develops a life threating tumor and becomes a patient seeing the medical industry from a patient’s perspective. I believe the movie is based on Dr. Edward Rosenbaum's 1988 memoir A Taste Of My Own Medicine. Thank you and I look forward to your next video. Have a great day!

Problem is physicians and dentists do not get adequate nutrition training. It is insulting to get questioned about flossing and tooth brushing techniques when the real problem with dental caries is poor diet (SAD for example) and not how I brush my teeth. And when my physician recommends I eat a sweet potato because I am going through Keto flu it doesn’t inspire confidence in his ability to successfully treat type 2 diabetes.

Dietitians who think the food pyramid is gospel! I made an appointment to see one just because an endocrinologist suggested it. It was ridiculous what she said about the ketogenic lifestyle that I was living.

I agree with a lot of what he’s saying except he has to realize in many ways drs were miseducated (not all ways because drs save lives everyday), but they have to know by now that the medical industry has become a “business”, nuff said.

My pain doctor came in sick, and wearing a mask, said not to shake his hand, then walks right up in my face, puts both hands out and says squeeze my fingers. Tells me im not 20 anymore. No ****, doc.

Could be you are stressing yourself out. As for losing weight.....if you are already at a low weight....maybe the body simply can't lose more weight. As for exercise and diet, years ago a woman I greatly admired came into our store. She ran 3 miles and also walked 5 miles per day. Yet....one cold Feb? day I met her outside on her daily runs, and she said "I'm so cold." Her diet for breakfast: 1 banana. If you are pushing your heart so much, consider your diet. You've got to feed your heart. I later learned she died in her 70s. Yet someone else I knew came into the store.......mid 90s......said her only exercise was walking from the lazyboy to the fridge to get something. Mid 90s! Lived in an age when she got lots of exercise when she was young?

We the patients need to just say “no” to so many X-rays and scans and say “no” to the drugs. I do and the doctors don’t like that. I wish Health Insurance companies would cover Naturopathic and Wholistic treatments. Unfortunately, the medical system is owned by big Pharma.

I had to switch to doing my own research through the National Library of Medicine as I could not locate a doctor who was not a straight-faced liar. And that includes PCP, Allergy, GI, ENT, Eye, etc. It's going on 10 years since I've been to a doctor. The deepest research a doctor would do for any of my problems was to reach for the Physicians Desk Reference; which would ballpark a drug that seemed closest to 'treating' my symptoms.

I been in pain in my stomach for years and they keep telling me my blood pressure is too high lately it's been lower and now I'm still on blood pressure but my stomach is still in pain going through biopsy in the ER in one month to find out where the pain is to say it's in my uterus.

Adam, you are my new hero !

Brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed your perspective. I consider myself very fortunate with my medical practice. When I see my Doctor he always asks me what is wrong and do I have a diagnosis (he also did this regarding my late mother) lol. Actually the Vets have always done the same with me regarding my dogs! lol Other people seem to experience great difficulty seeing/contacting a Dr, yet if I telephone for advice I have no problem and a Dr returns my call quite promptly (admittedly I will only telephone for advice if it’s urgent and I need medical attention). Keep up the great work. Your videos are super! 🤗

Excellent video. Crushing student loan debt is affecting the number of doctors and also veterinarians graduating and entering practice, Also, I look at what my insurance (not a HMO) actually pas my doctor and it;s kind if shocking. Also, becoming a doctor because of family pressure, so true for many! Thanks!

You nailed it. My daughters and granddaughter are all in medical care . So I hear all the things they have to say about their patients. I'm very aware of how human doctors are. For me it's the shitty system. However I Still expect to get good care from the system which means I'm an idiot! We all know that there are some frequent flyers that seem to live at the doctors office and the ER. They just hang out there. It's ridiculous. Doing the best they can the doctors and other medical professionals could do better yes but I wish you could see what I see and hear daily . I'm well aware that we are all just trying to live however because we are daily fed all kinds of bullshit it's very difficult for both patient and doctor. My very old and I have known four exemplary doctors in my life time. But years ago tgey didn't have the amount of crap served to them by insurance, pharmaceutical companies etc etc etc. The entropy we now experience everywhere effects everything All the time.. life in the fast lane..I don't mind a ten minute doctor visit but if the guy is a specialist I expect it to be a bit more special .. but I'm ranting now .. why..

It sucks! Doing my own research and listening to you guys other my eyes to be a self advocate for myself . Thank you

I have a lovely Dr. Been going to him over 20 something years and they treat me very well,❤ praise God have a blessed day.

💯 Truth! 🙈

The person who has your best interest the most at heart is yourself, a doctor (outside of trauma) should be considered just one of many resources to become healthy or stay healthy. Get rid of sugar and seed oils in your diet, take vitamin D/K2 as a start at least in winter, that will already be a huge improvement, at nearly no cost.

I feel sorry for my doctor who has himself been caught in the whirlwind (tornado) of good and evil going on in the area of medicine. If he is lucky he will hook-up with other medical doctors who were just as unhappy as he is and reinvent his practice.

Totally agree with your comments.👍⭐

i have had Ankylosis spondylitis Since 1990, i was just diagnosed a couple of weeks ago. because they didn’t listen to my symptoms. I was sick before I was fat. I’m on a carnivore diet that reversed my type 2 diabetes, with it.

Good Job?Third leading cause of death

Well said! True in most cases though I am lucky to have a great caring doctor who sacrifices her personal time to listen to patients and get to the bottom of the problem. But not so in most cases! So lucky I live in Canada where our health care is also free! However, you are right - doctors have no time to educate the patient on basic diet & nutrition and most people are clue-less and over stuff themselves with easy junk foods & excess carbs & bad fats! My poor neighbour just died after just 5 years of being diagnosed with diabetes which resulted in complications of damaged kidneys & fatty liver! she was put in several meds - but the reality is that doctors can only prescribe meds & order tests! It's impossible for doctors to educate patients on healthy eating & exercise. We need health care advisors in our System to assist doctors & patients!

If you have questions about A**Holes just ask Scott Tissue about them. He’s seen them all! 😅

I live in Canada a MRI since Covid is a yr min or longer wait. Onky so many mavhines. So many people.

I'll always remember what Dr. Harvey Levy Harvard pediatrician specializing in inborn errors of metabolism said the best friend of th doctor is the seat of his pants. If he will sit down and listen to the patient or parent, they will tell you what's wrong with them. That's hardly done.
