    Absolutely LOVE your intro, with the music and warning we are about to listen to two cutie pie youngsters who are Doctors giving sage advice!! I come from the generation of TAB and learned all sodas and energy drinks (RedBull) are POISION! I had great difficulty kicking the diet coke aspartame habit, it was so addictive, but after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease was I able to stop drinking sodas. Today I drink 1 cuppa tea each day and water! You BOYS ARE ADORABLE!!!

    Hi Dr. Weening and Dr. Zalzal. Man Dr. W downed that drink. You must have been very popular in college. It is still very informative. Once 1pm comes around I stop drinking everything and I stick to water. I drink 8 bottles of water a day. I go to the bathroom alot but water keeps my kidneys working. There was a time that I couldn't stand to drink water. I drank soda, sugary drinks, and orange juice. I'm so happy I cut those things out of my liquid intake. My BP is usually around 120/80. BP of a 20 yo just like I said before. Hard to believe I am going to be 59 in August. Thank you both for sharing

    @@TalkingWithDocs I average about 2.5 feet a step. That's 25,000 feet or nearly 5 miles for 10,000 steps. At 4 miles an hour (the high average for people according to Google) that's around 1 1/2 hours a day walking. That's just not reasonable. I know several people who walk but none that walk that much. That's not even mentioning the time to change shoes or whatever else you do to get ready. I have read several times that the 10,000 step number came from some PR department in a company shilling a walking meter or some such thing. Let's just stop that number now. It's silly and just gives people a reason not to begin ... or believe anything you say. (OH, I do like you guys. Just work on this one!)

    This was pretty informative, definitely about to binge watch this channel after a swim today but before that, some thoughts. So, I didn't hear if you guys went over this or not but was you clean test done before or after Dr. Brad's morning coffee? Also, on average, how many coffees are you consuming per day? I just wonder because I personally use to have two or three cups per day or I'd have several energy drinks throughout the day. If I didn't have my coffee or energy drinks I'd get angry, fell nauseous, and overall wouldn't be able to function in my day to day but I also didn't really like how the caffeine was making me feel when I did have them anymore either. I was actually able to ween myself off caffeine using GFuel even though that wasn't my intention. I was told by a friend that it wasn't an immediate spike in energy but instead a small and long lasting boost to energy and focus. Be it placebo or not, that is what I experienced so I followed instructions and replaced my coffee/energy drinks with the Gfuel and eventually ended up drinking less and less until I wasn't drinking it regularly anymore. No more energy drinks, coffee, soda, or GFuel, it was a complete accident but I managed to stop all of them in the span of a few months. Now I will say, I also do not recommend anyone start taking GFuel, this is just my personal experience.

    A very nice experiment you two! You can be serious and laugh at yourself at the same time! That makes you so relatable! I've never had energy drinks and I don't desire to either. I already have white coat hypertension, no matter how much I try to relax. Sometimes they take my blood pressure with several types of machines. After trying 5 different times, I ask them to try at the end of my appointment. I have coffee in the morning and iced tea the rest of the day. I'll have a soft drink occasionally because it goes with certain foods! 😉 But I've watched my nephews grow up drinking all kinds of energy drinks. I've never thought they were good for them, especially in the beginning when they were packed with sugar and way too much caffeine! It's good seeing you two conducting your own study and showing us the results! I'm sure Dr Z would have finished the drink faster with chicken wings! 😋 You're both good sports for conducting this experiment! I bet you were able to fly through surgery later in the day! 😚 Thanks for sharing another great video! 👍

Doing the whole scoop makes me ill and waaaayyy over energized, like a fly buzzing around a bar-b-que.

    your blood pressure is up, because of the caffeine. Your heart rate is down because it has Citrulline Malate which is Nitric Oxide, a Vaso dilater. I was surprised to, because that's what's in my pre-workout for when I lift weights it allows a greater pump by allowing more blood flow and relaxing your veins to allow more oxygen and blood flow.

    I was driving home from a trip away a while back, I felt quite fatigued, so I decided to try an energy drink. The results were scary, I felt more alert, less tired. But absolutely it did not improve my response / reaction times, I was still driving like I had been on the road for 18 hours. I pulled up and got a motel room, never gone near them again. It was a drink with Guarana as the active ingredient as well as a strong whack of caffeine.

    If its too sweet you put less amount of gfuel in there and instead of chugging, you can just sip it slowly. Also you're not supposed to fill to the top and instead to the line.

    I drank one once, after a couple hours I felt weird and my blood pressure went way up! Top number was in the 180's. I thought I was going to have a heart attack and ended up in the hospital. They told me people end up in the hospital after drinking these all the time. But at least I had a good work up while there LOL

Also, I believe Dr. Weening's gulping may be a "hint" of some college related activities? 😁 Begs the question, "Was there rum?" 😂 Seriously, more of these.

    Dear Docs, you've struck upon exactly what I experience with BP/HR but without the energy drink. If I'm relaxed and calm, my BP will often be high @145/90 with a pulse around 45-50. If I move around a bit and get my pulse up to around 70 my BP will fall to around 130/80. I used to attribute high BP reading at the Dr's office to white coat fever but I think it's just that I sit quietly in the waiting room and my resting HR goes quite low. I don't know if there's a scientific explanation but it's very reproducible for me.
