29:57 – Controversy of Epi on vs. Epi Off

38:06 – Biologic Intacs for Advanced Cases

21:46 – What can you do to improve regularity?

Tweetable Quotes "Keratoconus is like a weakening in the cornea, specifically the collagen fibers. I describe it as a hernia on the eye because it bulges out, causing distortions like double vision, glare, and halos. This can severely impact daily activities like driving at night." (04:23) (Dr.Brian)

"For parents with keratoconus, it's crucial to have your children checked starting around age nine. There's a 15% chance they could develop the condition, and early detection with corneal topography can prevent significant vision loss." (12:00) (Dr.Brian)

"For more advanced keratoconus cases, we use what I call biologic Intacs, or KeraRing segments. These are made of corneal collagen and can be much thicker than traditional Intacs, providing more flattening and better vision improvement." (34:12) (Dr.Brian)

“The Visian ICL is a life-changing procedure for treating high levels of nearsightedness. It involves placing an insertable lens behind the iris and in front of the natural lens, significantly improving vision and often eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses." (41:07) (Dr.Brian)

Tweetable Quotes “The theory is that the structure and function are interrelated. And when one is off, the other is gonna be off. For example, if you have muscle pain, let’s say your spine is not in the right position, it’s gonna strain the surrounding muscle and tissue. So, if you’re able to adjust and correct the problem, you’re gonna fix the surrounding area and reduce the inflammation.” (08:39) (Dr. Sasha Haddad)

“In life, is anything possible? By nature, very rarely, potentially, maybe. But, medically speaking, by the time you hit puberty - in terms of bone width and height growing taller - I highly disagree, unless something pathologically happened differently.” (13:50) (Dr. Sasha Haddad)

“For the most part when you eat raw meat, the nutrients are present. And, of course, building blocks and protein can help.” (17:21) (Dr. Sasha Haddad)

“I agree, don’t spend your money on something that you don’t necessarily need. What’s better is down time.Try to limit yourself from being on your phone or on your computer a few hours prior to going to sleep. I think that’s way better than all of this.” (19:41) (Dr. Sasha Haddad)

“I think people can take fiber, but it doesn’t help if you’re not hydrating well. So, the key element here is you have to be able to hydrate. You have to have enough fluids in you to have things go through.” (24:59) (Dr. Sasha Haddad)

Tweetable Quotes “One in five patients who are listed for a lung transplant will die on the waiting list. So, there’s a real shortage not only in lung, but in the other organs as well.” (04:37) (Dr. David)

“A smoking related lung disease, emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Some people may have heard of COPD. That’s essentially the same thing.” (07:43) (Dr. David)

“There’s a vast array of chemicals in a vape and what goes into the lung. But even more than that, it’s thermal energy. So, in other words, it produces very high heat in the lung, and the lung is quite sensitive to very high temperatures. The damage can not only come from the chemicals that are contained in the vape oil, but also from the heat that’s generated. It’s much hotter than cigarette smoke.” (10:52) (Dr. David)

“As marijuana increasingly becomes more mainstream in our society, we’re seeing more and more research that it’s not quite the benign drug that we thought it was maybe early on, mainly because there wasn’t much research on it when it was illegal.” (18:19) (Dr. David)

“It was very difficult for me to separate how much I cared from accepting an outcome that was not good. And, I don’t think I ever really learned how to do that well over the course of my career.” (25:25) (Dr. David)

“What I try to do now is coach the teams through everything and try to figure out a way to get on the same page. That’s probably the number one value that I can bring to programs now.” (31:46) (Dr. David)

If you’re lucky enough to have success on YouTube, it’s because you found a lane. But if you stay in the lane too long, people are gonna get bored and leave. But if you get out of your lane, they’re not gonna like it and they’re gonna leave. So, you have to find a way to expand your lane while staying in your lane.’ I had no idea what that meant, but that’s the path I’ve always followed on YouTube.” (09:45) (Jordan) “I think a lot of times what happens with people is they have a dream and they have a job. And those two things are not connected. So, they do their job because they need to do their job, but the dream gets put on hold.” (16:31) (Jordan) “I think there’s a certain amount of regret I’ve always been afraid of living with. And the regret comes from not having done everything I could to fulfill my dreams.” (18:38) (Jordan) “YouTube has seen a significant percentage of their viewers go to TikTok. So, they’re trying to get them back with shortness. But the real money they make is on long-form content. What they’re hoping is that they get them away from TikTok by incentivizing creators to make more content on YouTube, and then once the viewers are on YouTube, they’ll watch the long-form and see the ads.” (27:22) (Jordan) “Not everybody is meant to be on camera. Not everyone is meant to have a platform. You need to have something to say to have a platform. So, first, what is it that you have to say? And, when I say, ‘not everyone is meant to have a platform,’ what I mean is not everybody is offering the audience something that is of value. So then why am I watching? Everybody could though. We all have that value, but if you’re just trying to be somebody else, you’re not gonna offer that value.” (32:07) (Jordan) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned Jordan’s Website Jordan’s Instagram Jordan’s TikTok Jordan’s Vimeo Jordan’s Twitter Jordan’s Blog Jordan’s Tumblr Jordan’s YouTube Jordan’s Books: Born To Dance Dancers Among Us NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast

Studies have shown that people in that scenario with a lot of plaque on their teeth have increased risk of heart attack.” (04:01) (Dr. Brian) “It’s possible, potentially, that a good probiotic can affect the bacteria in the mouth that reduce the plaque build-up in the mouth and on the teeth.” (07:32) (Dr. Brian) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast

It’s not always diet related if you have acne. So, as long as you eat a well-rounded, healthy diet, you don’t necessarily have to eliminate certain foods, unless you know that, for whatever reason, you’re on some extreme all cow’s milk diet or something like that.” (03:30) (Dr. Azi) “I always tell people your skin barrier is the key to healthy skin. It keeps the bad stuff out and the good stuff in. And so when it’s disrupted, acne gets worse.” (04:08) (Dr. Azi) “A lot of times, when acne goes away, it leaves behind a stain - a red stain or a brown stain. If you don’t protect your skin from the sun, that stain can last for months. If you’re breaking out, wear sun protection because the sun definitely delays the healing of the skin and can cause staining from acne to last much longer.” (06:40) (Dr. Azi) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned Dr. Azi’s Instagram Dr. Azi’s Skincare Website NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast

But don’t overdo it.” (09:26) (Dr. Azi) “Fungal acne is actually a natural yeast that lives on the skin. And, in certain conditions and with certain hormonal imbalances or microbiomes, that fungus can overgrow and get inside the pores.” (12:02) (Dr. Azi) “And then other triggers would be stress and not sleeping, which certainly play a role. There’s a new variant of acne that is directly linked to stress and not sleeping, because that causes your cortisol hormone levels to go up. Cortisone is a big player for causing acne.” (15:39) (Dr. Brian) “Sometimes it’s habits like that. If you’re trying all these things but you’re forgetting about basic hygiene, whether you talk on the phone, put the phone to your cheek, or text all the time and you wipe your face, those are all big factors.” (17:18) (Dr. Azi) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned Dr. Azi’s Instagram Dr. Azi’s Skincare Website Dr. Azi’s Instagram NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast

I was easily addicted to social media, and I mean it in the true sense of addiction where it was really interfering with my relationships with my family.” (01:56) (Dr. Brian) “Just like that, you can give somebody anything - anything at all - that’s basically distracting them from what they’re experiencing, and that has been shown to be very effective at reducing anxiety and panic attacks.” (05:02) (Dr. Brian) “A lot of times when people are anxious about a situation, if you think about it, it’s just in somebody’s head. It’s how they are perceiving, or reacting to, a situation.” (06:37) (Dr. Brian) “Acupressure, they concluded, was more effective for patients that are in the hospital - inpatients - or people getting ready for surgery compared to just finger massage.” (10:09) (Dr. Brian) “The second thing is just having insight to recognize that you are potentially having a panic attack. Then you can use some of these things we’re talking about. And I don’t think it’s even beyond trying to distract yourself about something, because we know distraction is really effective. So, if you can focus on something else that you have to deal with, that can be a form of self-distraction. That’s also worth a consideration.” (12:26) (Dr. Brian) “Number one, top of the list, is exercise.

There is no evidence that Creatine harms the liver or harms the kidneys in healthy people who take normal healthy doses.” (15:01) (Dr. Brian) “If you are losing your hair and you’re taking Creatine, it may not be a bad idea to talk to your doctor and ask to get a simple blood test to see what your DHT level is.

That’s what gives this phenomena of feeling a buzz or feeling drunk.” (04:12) (Dr. Brian) “I remember when I was in medical school...I remember interviewing the patient and one of the things I asked was, ‘How much do you drink a day?’ And, this guy was drinking a case of beer each day. That’s twenty-four cans of beer a day. That’s really a huge, massive amount of alcohol.” (05:44) (Dr. Brian) “Many studies have shown that, with chronic alcohol abuse, the brain changes can be permanent, often leading to impaired brain function.” (08:17) (Dr. Brian) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast

So, we’re gonna do a little autopsy now - a little hair follicle autopsy.” (02:45) (Dr. Brian) “The whole concept of porosity has to do with how much moisture your hair can absorb and retain. So if it’s low porosity, it means that your hair physically cannot get moisture in it.” (03:08) (Dr. Brian) “You can’t necessarily change your porosity. It’s usually due to genetics. But, I think it’s a good idea to test your hair just to see because there are certain things you can do to manage your hair based on if you have high, medium, or low porosity.” (05:55) (Dr. Brian) “There’s certain things you can do, real quick, for low porosity hair.

So, now I guess you’re wondering, ‘How is that even possible?’ Well, let’s just break it down.” (04:05) (Dr. Brian) “Most of the studies used 12 mg [of capsaicin] and they were given about forty-five minutes before the exercise so it gives the body time to absorb it and get it into the system. And, there was one study that used a pretty low dose of just 1.2 mg. So, what were the results? In this one study where they ran 1,500 meters, it actually did reduce the time to get to 1,500 meters. So it actually made the runners faster.” (05:08) (Dr. Brian) “Taking about a 12 mg capsule about forty-five minutes before doing weight training also increased the number of repetitions that they could do at seventy-five percent of their max with a standardized rest interval.” (07:02) (Dr. Brian) “Interestingly enough, there are several mechanisms and I’m going to give you the three top ones. So, the first mechanism is that [Capsaicin] is increasing, very likely, calcium release in the muscles. And so, the more calcium that gets released, the increased contractability and strength you get out of the muscle. Also, it looks like it increases fatty acid oxidation, another source of energy and increases the amount of power out of the muscles. And the third is that it decreases pain.” (08:21) (Dr. Brian) “In fact, Capsaicin or having some spicy peppers, like jalapeño peppers, can boost your exercise performance and also for weight lifting and strength training as well.” (09:45) (Dr. Brian) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast

Tweetable Quotes “So the main point about Warburg’s discovery is that it’s related to energy generation, which can have an effect on voltage. But it’s really not voltage, perse, it’s really energy generation that’s related to the cells.”(06:59) (Dr. Brian) “Electrical current and healing goes back to the 1700s. It was found that, if they injured a creature, the electrical stimulation that’s generated by the body at that sight of the injury is increased. And it’s actually increased in proportion to the amount of injury.”(08:42) (Dr. Brian) “Then Dr. Becker did some measurements with the skin of humans and other animals. He had discovered that there’s this electrical field that’s roughly parallel to the body’s nervous system. And, if there’s a problem or disturbance in the field, such as an injury, then it can stimulate the cells to start repairing.”(11:13) (Dr. Brian) “There’s a time in London where these two babies had lost their fingers and their fingers regenerated naturally. This goes back to this concept that the younger an organism is, the more healing regeneration that they have. So babies have the ability to have natural regeneration to some degree.”(12:49) (Dr. Brian) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast

And, what they typically will do to assess the growth plates is they take an X-Ray of the hand and they see if the finger bones are with growth plates that are opened or closed.” (05:25) (Dr. Brian) “What happens when you sleep - besides those really awesome, sometimes funky dreams - is that your body releases growth hormone. That happens while you’re sleeping. So, teenagers, try to get eight to nine hours of sleep. That’s the recommendation to maximize your growth hormone release.” (07:17) (Dr. Brian) “And so, I get this little rock from the corner of the tent, and I just aim up at the lightbulb and just let her rip. And the lightbulb exploded and I was able to go to bed. That’s how important sleep was to me when I was young.” (09:28) (Dr. Brian) “The key type of food that has been proven to help teenagers grow is cow milk. Cow milk stimulates growth for sure. There’s lots of studies on that. And it has to be cow’s milk unfortunately. If you don’t like milk or you’re lactose-intolerant, you can get Lactaid which is a milk with lactose removed.” (10:58) (Dr. Brian) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast

My best friend grew up across the street from Arnold Schwarzenegger; it was in Santa Monica. And, when we were in school we used to go over to his house all the time and wash his motorcycle and his cars. You don’t have to get big and bulky like Arnold, but you can still lift weights and not get big and still have more metabolic activity coming from muscles that are stronger and somewhat more developed.” (04:54) (Dr. Brian) “One important thing to know is that if you’re not getting enough sleep, it’s been shown that sleep deprivation increases that hunger hormone and makes you more hungry. That’s why people eat more when they’re sleep deprived and they gain weight. So, getting enough sleep is definitely underrated.” (06:19) (Dr. Brian) “There is a combination of a tea which research shows that consuming these two components, a hibiscus tea bag and a lemon verbena tea bag, very likely you will not have the same hunger for the rest of the day and you’ll eat less.” (06:55) (Dr. Brian) “So, taking cinnamon and ginger can boost your metabolism a little bit. It can possibly lead to weight loss. It can help with menstrual cramps. The proven, stand-by techniques for losing weight are increasing your metabolism through exercise and getting enough sleep.” (09:46) (Dr. Brian) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast

And then we actually have a little bit of crosslinking right at the very end to reinforce those spots. I even did that on my wife and she is still talking to me all these years later.” (11:24) (Dr. Brian) “With LASIK, your head will not be clamped down. If you look away, the laser will turn off. You will never be alone in the room. And, even if you’re thirsty, you can never get water because there’s no water dispenser in the room. And, also the laser is a gentle laser; it will not burn your skin.” (00:00) (Dr. Brian) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast

It’s kinda the smell nerve if you will. And what can happen is the virus can damage the ends of those nerves and the cells in the nose.” (03:48) (Dr. Brian) “It was awesome, one of my favorite pizzas. So, I’m eating it and I’m saying to my kids and my wife, ‘This pizza doesn’t really have much taste. I remember this pizza being really good.’ And I’m eating some more and it kinda tasted like cardboard. This was really weird.” (04:51) (Dr. Brian) “There’s certain substances that if people smell it for about twenty seconds for two to three times a day, over time it can stimulate those olfactory, or smell nerves, in the nose.” (06:40) (Dr. Brian) “Also, taking things that are decongestants if somebody isn’t feeling well is important to help clear up any sort of inflammation that could be active at the time.

I called a buddy of mine who had high-level connections and asked what do you think? He said, ‘Brian, Putin is going to make sure that the Olympic Games are safer than driving down the freeway.’” (11:10) (Dr. Brian) “That was one of the reasons that I wanted to help these filmmakers with this documentary because it’s paying tribute to Steven’s legacy.

In a lot of cultures, fat women were seen as the most fertile and the ones with the best chance of offspring succeeding because they had plenty of nourishment to feed the babies.” (07:30) (Dr. Amy) “It used to really worry me to bring it up because I would read a dream and I would think, ‘Oh, that person really has a problem with the masculine part of themselves and this dream is showing a big disconnect. How do I say this and do I say it?’ I’ve said that to multiple people that this dream is saying that your relationship with your masculine side is troubled.

Tweetable Quotes: “I think we dream because it’s a way of communicating with our unconscious, a way of communicating with our inner self, a way of our Self with a capital ‘S’ sending us messages that it doesn’t know how to send any other way.” (03:08) (Dr. Amy) “I keep hearing people ask, ‘Why am I dreaming of this certain person? I’m not even close to this person. Or this person is out of my life now. Or I haven’t thought about them in years. Why are they in my dream?’ And I think that is really interesting because I think it goes back to how our unconscious communicates with us. It can’t communicate directly. It can’t just send us a word-for-word message. So it chooses the images that will convey its message for it.” (05:28) (Dr. Amy) “If you’re dreaming of someone and you don’t understand why, quickly, without thinking about it much, think about the first two or three things you think of when that person’s name pops into your head. Those are the attributes of the part of yourself that your unconscious is trying to talk to you about.” (07:06) (Dr. Amy) “I truly believe that what our psyche wants is balance. I don’t think that it’s healthy for anybody’s being or psyche to be really far in one direction in any way. We need a balance of the external world and the internal world.” (09:10) (Dr. Amy) “I wanted to do that exercise because I don’t want people to think that their dreams are something that’s totally inaccessible that unless they look at a dream dictionary, or email me their dream, or post it on Reddit that they’ll never be able to crack the code.” (16:18) (Dr. Amy) Links Mentioned: Dr. Brian responds to each and every DM question or comment on his OnlyFans page–https://onlyfans.com/brianboxerwachlermd Dr. Brian’s Website Dr. Brian’s TikTok Dr. Brian’s Instagram Dr. Amy’s Podcast Please remember, Dr. Brian is a doctor, but he is not your doctor.

It can help whiten teeth; it’s been shown to do that. It could take a few weeks to a few months to do it.” (03:36) (Dr. Brian) “So you might remember a little while back there were people using nail files on TikTok to help to straighten their teeth.

I was doing some videos last year about that like ‘No, don’t do that. Bad idea, bad idea.” (05:20) (Dr. Brian) “Taking some pineapple and eating it can help reduce bruising and make the bruising go away faster.

So if you are feeling like you’ve run into a block, if you’ve hit that wall and you just can’t come up with any ideas for something, maybe look at a green apple, maybe pull up a green box on your computer.” (09:54) (Dr. Brian) “Yellow is a very effective color for boosting your mood. It’s bright, it’s happy, it has that effect on people. And yellow even has an association with comedy.” (12:26) (Dr. Brian) Links Mentioned: Dr. Brian responds to each and every DM question or comment on his OnlyFans page–https://onlyfans.com/brianboxerwachlermd Dr. Brian’s Website Dr. Brian’s TikTok Dr. Brian’s Instagram Please remember, Dr. Brian is a doctor, but he is not your doctor.

Click here to download the full transcription as a formatted PDF. Episode Summary: Welcome to The No Cap Health Show, a weekly podcast where Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler uses his decades of experience in medicine and ability as an expert researcher to provide a light-hearted approach and share health trends popular on TikTok. In this episode, Dr. Brian welcomes a very special guest, Dr. Amy Lawson, who provides her Cap/No Cap analysis on today’s topic: Dreams Meanings, Part 1. What does it mean when you’re being chased in your dreams? What about losing teeth in dreams? Are there cut and dry rules about dreams? Find out in today’s episode! If you’re enjoying the show, we’d love it if you leave the show a Rating & Review at RateThisPodcast.com/NoCap. Key Takeaways: 02:39 – Dr. Brian introduces today’s topic, Dreams Meanings, Part 1 05:46 – Symbolism of animals in dreams 08:04 – Losing teeth in dreams 09:18 – Dreams where your significant other is cheating on you 11:06 – Dream dictionaries 13:25 – The individuality of medicine 15:10 – Dr. Brian teases Part Two of today’s episode 15:27 – Dr. Brian encourages listeners to reach out via his OnlyFans and Rate and Review this podcast on RateThisPodcast.com/NoCap. Tweetable Quotes: “I think that animals are very symbolic things in dreams. And so, the specific animal that’s chasing you can give you a lot more information than just you’re avoiding some task that you want to do. For example, say you’re being chased by a dog. Dogs have two big symbolisms in dreams. One is that they’re fiercely loyal and they’re pack animals. So if you’re being chased by a dog it could mean you’re running from trying to be loyal to something.” (05:46) (Dr. Amy) “I think that another important aspect of teeth is that they’re about eating. They’re about nourishment. They’re how we can take in metaphoric food to our bodies. And so, another meaning when you’re having dreams of losing teeth can be that you can’t get that nourishment that your soul is craving right now.” (08:43) (Dr. Amy) “I think that dreams are the unconscious talking to us about our psyches, our internal dynamics and what’s going on in our heads. Not necessarily so much the external world.” (10:10) (Dr. Amy) “There are grains of truth in all of the dream dictionaries. Dream dictionaries really come out of people’s desire for things to be one hundred percent black and white, cut and dry. If I dream this, it means this. But if I dream this other thing, it means that instead. Sure, a lot of times those images and dreams do mean whatever the common prevailing wisdom about them is. But there’s a lot of other options too.

So, let’s just focus on the aqua-themed ones, the hydro-techniques if you will.” (04:24) (Dr. Brian) “The whole premise for [breathing through a paper bag] is that if you are making it airtight and you’re breathing in and out, you’re now breathing in your own air, which is most carbon dioxide. So, back and forth, back and forth, you’re basically not getting fresh air so your carbon dioxide level goes up.” (07:08) (Dr. Brian) “By not breathing and holding your breath, you’re allowing the carbon dioxide level to start increasing in your body, in your blood.

And, particularly for women, the color nude for shoes or high heels gives a natural extension of appearance to the legs because it’s matching the same color.” (04:26) (Dr. Brian) “Another tip to give that optical illusion of looking taller is wearing a short jacket. A tiny jacket where the waist comes up high on the jacket also extends the appearance of the legs and mid-section and makes the upper body look smaller. Again, you’re playing with the optics here.” (06:24) (Dr. Brian) “Now let’s talk about bags, purses, backpacks, etc. Can that have an effect on how you appear? Turns out it does.

The Gua Sha just moves fluid around. I mean, you could literally do that with stones you find on the street. If you just move that fluid back and forth, you’re gonna have a temporary effect.” (06:35) (Dr. Brian) “Weight lifting significantly adds to the metabolism and the caloric burn of the body. I know that personally because when I lift weights, I get so much hungrier after doing a weight lifting session than after a cardio session.” (08:27) (Dr. Brian) “When you eat a nice meal, there’s a substance in your GI tract that gets secreted that helps dissolve the fat in your meal. And this is called bile.” (10:51) (Dr. Brian) “In children and teenagers, the way one is breathing can change their facial structure. This is not Cap; this has been proven. When children and teenagers tend to breath more through their mouth, it does cause the face to become more elongated and thin.” (13:27) (Dr. Brian) “Mewing does not make a permanent, better jawline.
