Mike I'm a family medicine doctor which means I am one of the only Specialists qualified to treat most ailments and provide Comprehensive Health Care for people of all ages one Health tip I give my patients is to never stick anything smaller than your elbow in your ear canals this is because too many people are using tools like Q-tips to pull out earwax when in reality they're only packing earwax deeper in and even damaging the skin potentially leading to an infection hi my name is Dr glocken flecken I'm an ophthalmologist eyes animals if you think you've lost a contact lens or an eyelash in your eye don't worry it cannot migrate back into your brain that's something a lot of people worry about it's most likely just stuck underneath your eyelid you have tissue layers that prevent things from moving further back hello my name's Ed hope I'm an NHS doctor working over in the UK in the emergency department or as you may know it as the emergency room it's super useful for us if you ever end up in the emergency department if you bring a list of your medication and any diagnosis you have and the dates of any significant illness or operations and be prepared for a long wait so it's always good to have your phone charger too I'm Dr Danielle Johns known online as Mom and doctor Jones and I am an OB GYN physician that means I specialize in pregnancy and gynecologic problems stop throwing out your favorite undies because of period stains after an initial rent grab some powdered meat tenderizer sprinkle it on the stain and let it sit for about 30 minutes throw it in the wash as usual and when you take it out the stain will be gone bromelain the active ingredient in most powdered meat tenderizers is actually a proteolytic enzyme this means that on the steak it breaks down proteins to make the cup more tender but on a blood stain it breaks down proteins to pull the stain out it sounds like magic but it's actually science hi everybody I'm Dr winters also known as the dentist on social media and I am actually a dentist who specialize further to become an orthodontist and we deal with moving teeth with braces and aligners little hack for you because you've probably been brushing your teeth wrong your entire life most people brush their teeth completely flat side to side side to side like that what you actually want to do is angle it up at a 45 degree angle and get up underneath the gum tissue as well as the tooth because some of your teeth hides up underneath the gum tissue and you never clean it so turn that 45 degree angle brush your teeth for two minutes and your teeth will be cleaner than they've ever been in your entire life my name is Dr Dana Bruns and I'm a podiatrist which is a foot and ankle surgeon one crazy foot hack is one of the most effective topical medications you can use for toenail fungus is actually just Vicks Vapor Rub It has eucalyptus and Menthol which are both anti-fungal my name is Dr Anthony Yoon and I'm a board-certified plastic surgeon one simple and natural way to pump your lips is to put a drop or two of food grade peppermint oil into your lip gloss and then mix it up and then apply the gloss onto your lips it should create a very mild tingling sensation and your lips will gently plump up a bit if you're not tingling then put a drop or two more in and try again but if your lips start to burn then wipe it off throw it away and start over again with less peppermint oil hey hey my name is Dr Luke Patel I'm a pediatrician specifically a pediatric hospitalist so I take care of babies kids and teens who have been hospitalized for a variety of different reasons suck up some snot for real it's not that gross babies and toddlers tend to have runny noses a lot of mucus during cold and flu season which lasts forever and you can help them out with a nasal aspirator or a nasal suctioning device it clears their nose helps them sleep better eat better improves their mood and potentially prevents a problem from getting worse it's also kind of satisfying hello my name is Dr Austin Chang and I'm a gastroenterologist otherwise known as a GI specialist one important hack I can offer for the gut is that colorectal cancer which is the second leading cause of cancer deaths when men and women are combined is often preventable we have ways to prevent this cancer and it's often with a procedure called a colonoscopy where we can actually take a look inside the colon find these pre-cancerous growth before they turn into cancer and remove them and that can actually help prevent cancer from happening I'm Dr Karen and I'm a general surgeon in the NHS my job has me dealing with basically anything you can find when you rummage around someone's abdomen one day it could be cutting out bowel cancers the next day slicing out badly behaved gallbladders the most underrated life hack for optimized bowel health is probably just eating more fiber just increasing your fiber intake by 10 grams of fiber a day reduces your codon cancer risk by 10 it's not a bad exchange 10 grams of fiber is a banana and two slices of bread it's easy my name is Dr Michael Cellini and I'm a dual board certified Diagnostic and Interventional radiologist one secret I'd like to let you in on regarding my field of radiology is that we see everything if you swallowed a chicken bone we see it put something somewhere we're gonna see that too hey there my name is Dr Sanjay janeja I am a hemog specialist otherwise known as hematology and medical oncology which specializes in blood disorders and cancer one of the biggest tips that relates both to hematology and oncology and it's not very provocative is that we need to register for bone marrow transplants people are waiting and hoping and praying that somebody swabs their mouth and sends it in because they have a short amount of time in which they'll live and have control of their cancer their leukemia or whatever else and they're just hoping this random person in the United States or Germany or wherever actually is a match that will save their life hey guys I am Dr Shireen Idris a board-certified dermatologist and I am wearing sunglasses indoors because I just had Lasik eye surgery one tip that I really think you guys have to think hard about especially when it comes to cosmetics and Laser procedures is the following would you go to the dentist and get your teeth cleaned without brushing your teeth every day the answer is probably no a solid skincare routine is the anchor to any sort of cosmetic procedure that you get in office hi I'm Rena Malek a urologist and pelvic surgeon that requirement of drinking eight glasses of water a day is a myth this was recommended by the U.S food and nutrition board in 1945. however it wasn't based on any sort of evidence-based scientific research and they noted that most of these fluids are found in prepared foods so unless your doctor tells you otherwise drink when you're thirsty if you are outdoors in hot temperatures or exercising because they're drinking a little bit more the trick is to look at your urine if it's a light yellow color like lemonade that means you're drinking enough if it's any darker than that consider drinking a bit more hello my name is rohin I'm a consultant Interventional cardiologist from the UK every adult should know their blood pressure and their resting heart rate I'm not saying you should check it obsessively but I think they can be really useful sources of encouragement if you're embarking on an exercise program you can track both of them getting better particularly your resting heart rate coming down in just a few weeks and that's important because the more you can lower your resting heart rate through exercise the longer you live they actually correlate with one another so if you can get out there and exercise regularly my name is Dr John Patton dark jp3 and I'm a board certified anesthesiologist and a regional anesthesia and acute pain medicine specialist this tip goes out to all my pregnant patients out there at the end of the day it's totally your choice if you want to have epidural as part of your labor plan but if you do it can be very difficult to place an epidural and someone who's in labor you have the baby who's kicking and punching and ready to come out you have your uterus that's Contracting and doing this thing then you have mom who's screaming oftentimes where's the anesthesiologist get them in the room now I'm ready for my epidural and for us really getting into that position that we need you to get in to allow us to place that epidural and get you more comfortable is extremely extremely important we need to have your head down your shoulders down all right you're going to be forming the letter c you're curving your back out towards the anesthesiologist like almost like you know shrimp or an angry cat that really allows for those spaces back there between the spinous processes to open up so that we can get that epidural needle in and place that catheter into the epidural space so we can start giving you the medication and getting you comfortable hi my name is Dr Antonio Webb I'm a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon here in San Antonio Texas I know a lot of people have back pain one tip is to keep your weight down the more weight that you have been applied to the cushions or to the disc in the spine can lead to degeneration and that can cause back pain it's said that each additional pound of extra weight leads to four additional pounds of pressure across your discs so if you have 200 extra pounds of weight you have about 800 extra pounds of force that has been applied to your spine that can wear down your spine the disc cause arthritis degeneration and lead to pain hi my name is Dr Brian Suiter and I'm a non-surgical sports medicine doctor who focuses on treating orthopedic and musculoskeletal injuries in athletes if you have a new injury like a sprained ankle where there's a lot of swelling a good way to help reduce the pain and inflammation is through the use of ice a great way to do this is to actually take a bag of frozen vegetables like peas or corn and use that to help ice the area you can throw it back in the freezer when you're done and it helps to really conform to the Joint you're trying to ice just don't eat it afterwards hi everybody this
