Tweetable Quotes “White shoes do make people look taller. 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. Wearing a smaller bag will make you appear taller. On the flip side, carrying a big bag will make you appear shorter.” (07:30) (Dr. Brian) “Here’s another one for guys, wearing more fitted clothes – so avoiding baggy shirts and pants – that can make you look taller.” (08:39) (Dr. Brian) “If you roll your shoulders back a little bit, drop your shoulder blades and stick your chest out a little bit, you’re getting better posture. You’re elongating your spine and you’re gonna actually get a little taller – not just in appearance but really taller – because you’re using your anatomy to your advantage.” (09:33) (Dr. Brian) Links Mentioned 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.

Our old friend Gua Sha, you know the jade stone we see all over TikTok” (05:51) (Dr. Brian) “Now in full disclosure, I actually do have a jaw like a model – a foot model, but nonetheless, a type of model technically. 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. It’s only temporary, and you canlots of fun practicing in the mirror.” (14:33) (Dr. Brian) Links Mentioned 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.

We are the last simulation in that sort of simulation deep hole. We’re the last simulation because we haven’t created a simulation ourselves. Or, we are the first real universe because we haven’t created any simulations. It’s so confusing. I can’t even wrap my mind around it.” (12:21) (Dr. Fayez) “The thing about conspiracy theories is that they’re conspiracy theories. Because, the probability of a conspiracy theory being valid and nobody spilling the beans on it or being a whistle-blower is so micro-small you would need an electron microscope to look at the probability of that happening.” (14:26) (Dr. Brian) “I think it’s definitely the unknown that certainly interests people, whether they are believers in conspiracy theories or not.” (20:27) (Dr. Fayez) Links Mentioned Dr. Brian’s Website Dr. Brian’s TikTok Dr. Brian’s Instagram Dr. Fayez’s TikTok Dr. Fayez’s YouTube Dr. Fayez’s Instagram Please remember, Dr. Brian is a doctor, but he is not your doctor.
