Show notes

Cristo Fernandez was a start soccer player in Mexico, well on his way to playing for the national team, when a horrific knee injury sidelined him for the rest of his life... or so he thought. The life-altering injury sent Cristo down a new path, eventually taking him the the UK where he studied acting, and eventually landed himself the role of Danny Rojas on the hit Apple+ series, Ted Lasso. Now Cristo is starring in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and shows no signs of slowing down, knee injury and all.

“I Can End All Disease” | Confronting Dr. Steven Gundry Dec 27, 2023

Show notes

Watch the full video interview here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/GundryVODDr. Steven Gundry began his career as a highly-successful cardiologist and heart surgeon. In more recent years, he has pivoted away from surgery and more into preventive medicine at his clinic in souther California. Dr. Gundry is a highly vocal advocate for a wide variety of highly controversial health claims, often centered on the gut microbiome and "lectins", which are found inside foods like tomatoes and bell peppers that he claims have disastrous effects on your health. Over the years, I've had issues with many of the things Dr. Gundry has said, so when his team reached out about having him come on the show to promote his new book "Gut Check", I was eager at the oppurtunity. That being said, I was quickly to communicate to Dr. Gundry's team that not only would this be a contentious discussion, but that I would also bring in my friend Dr. Danielle Belardo, a heart and diet expert in her own right, to join the discussion and get down to the truth about a number of Dr. Gundry's most extreme claims. To his credit, Dr. Gundry accept, and this conversation is what followed.Follow Dr. Gundry here:Website and pre-orders for Gut Check: https://drgundry.com/YouTube Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrGundryYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GundryMDYTFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GundryMD/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gundrymdFollow Dr. Danielle Belardo here:IG: https://www.instagram.com/daniellebelardomd/Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-belardo-366369241/Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/DBelardoMD

Dealing Or Not Dealing With Howie Mandel's OCD Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

Howie Mandel is one of the biggest media stars in America, especially impressive considering he's Canadian. Howie is known for being a judge of America's Got Talent, the host of Deal or No Deal, and played an ER physician on the 80's medical drama, St. Elsewhere, amongst over 20 Tonight Show appearances and countless other opportunities in film and tv. With all that being said, something else people know about Howie is that he struggles with OCD, anxiety, depression, and germaphobia, amongst many other things. Today we dove deep on the medical side of Howie Mandel, a conversation I'm grateful he was so open to having.Host and Executive Producer: Doctor Mike VarshavskiProduced by Dan Owens and Sam BowersArt by Caroline Weigum
