The CORRECT Time To Take A Shower | RTC 32

when I see someone I have a crush on does my heart literally skip a beat no but it can speed up and you could even have something known as a PVC like a PVC is a premature ventricular contraction or your heart like beats but nothing really happens so it's like an incomplete beat if you will but they happen rarely and without symptoms usually pretty benign so the answer is Maybe help I fart really hard and it hurts how do I fix this doesn't is there a name fart splints or something Sam you know what it is painful part the answer is what's going on sometimes there's hemorrhoids and there's two different types of hemorrhoids internal and external external is usually the ones you feel because they're past a pectate line there's also anal fissures that can bleed quite quite badly you can actually end up getting a cream that's called nifedipine it's compounded with usually some lidocaine or some other numbing agent that allows that sphincter to relax a bit and heal better there are surgeries obviously but those are from more advanced cases someone please tell me if you had no bones could you still move no no well no no well because your muscles are attached to bones and if you have no bones the muscles aren't attached to anything so you couldn't move why do vegetables taste bad why can't they just taste good I disagree I think an asparagai in my mouth after a steak is wonderful asparagai right when there's multiple I'm Googling it it's either asparagus or asparaguses I take back my asparagai okay there are no asparagus in my mouth only asparaguses that sounds weird I'm 25 years old I've never had a nosebleed I would very much like to experience one how would you no what is why what am I reading how do I know if I have a slow metabolism whether I need to speed it up unless there's an issue meaning you're struggling to lose weight and you've been documented to be overweight and there's a health condition that's being impacted by the fact that you're overweight I wouldn't worry about your metabolism per se and in general the things that you would do to live a healthy lifestyle will help you maintain a healthy metabolism I wouldn't think about it as slower or faster because a too faster metabolism is also problematic and too slow is problematic so ideally you want to balance metabolism and a balanced metabolism is one that comes with a healthy lifestyle obviously there are some factors outside of your control but that's when diseases happen and that's when a doctor should intervene all of your hiccup cures are just the top results on Google what makes you any better than just Googling what's wrong with me I guess you can it's just Google's going to give you a lot of info and it's going to be in text and boring versus here we're having fun and enjoying the time together hey how are you doing how you doing I've been having a lot of problems with excessive sweating I know you've dealt with this a lot so do you have any advice become okay with sweating it's a good piece of advice and I've become better with it understanding that it's kind of part of life there are prescription strength deodorants that you could use you could even use them on your palms if that happens there there are injections like botox that you can inject directly into sweat glands I've never went down this route but I've heard people do it and I've met doctors that do it with good results you just have to do it maybe a couple times in order to get longer lasting results I don't know I kind of just sweat and live you got so triggered in your last meme review by people saying they shower at night I shower at night because it keeps my bed cleaner when I go to sleep do you really think showering the morning is better yes and they take a passionate stance on this and I want to argue with everybody in the comment section that I prefer to shower in the morning and that's the logical way to go let's lay out a list of pros and cons of showering in the morning versus at night let's say you shave very frequently and you get some Nicks Sometimes maybe it's better shower in the morning why because you have more platelets in the morning interest interesting fun medical fact let's say you're stressed out when you wake up in the morning or you need a little creativity bump it's a good time to do it right there in the morning and you know what you do at night you sweat usually more than you sweat during the day with the exception of exercise obviously you're gonna have oil in the night you're gonna have sweat in the night clogged pores the night so waking up in the morning and showering gets you ready for the day cleans off your body and makes you ready to go on the only thing I would say is if you're going to shower in the morning shower a little bit cooler because warmer might make you sleepy you want to go back to bed but now for the people I like to shower at night ideally if you are doing this it can help you fall asleep especially if you do it like 90 minutes before you keep it short like 5 to 15 minutes because if you're exposed to a lot of heat for longer than that it could actually be activating instead of sedating benefits obviously throughout the day you get dirty oil all that stuff and therefore you might not want to bring that into bed which can be acnegenic causing some clogged pores and stuff also might be better to shower at night if your sun senses if because if you exfoliate for example and you go out in the sun that might be a problem because your Skin's more sensitive but if you exfoliate at night for the morning you're ready to take on the day and probably the best reason for most people that have allergies to shower at night is because you wash off all the pollen that you got on you and then you don't bring it into bed so you sneeze less do what that what you will but for me morning shower and like post exercise obviously because you don't want yeast and all that stuff developing did you become a doctor because your father forced you because I think you'd be a better comedian okay you're probably being sarcastic no my father didn't force me and I would not be a better stand-up comedian I would like to try my hand at it I kind of did on the live tour and I had like two good jokes in order to see them you have to come to the next edition of the life tour whatever that's happening is bear in a Jeep Grand Cherokee commercial there is a Newfoundland dog named bear in the Jeep Grand Cherokee commercial and I am kind of upset that they didn't use my bear bear you know you're in a commercial come here have you been secretly going out and earning in the night Jeep Grand Cherokee ends I should get at least a little I feed you well I don't care if you're working without my permission come here but you do need your working papers all right son just next time if you do a commercial can you do it for like a Lamborghini so they give us one for free do people actually Sleepwalk how could I make sure it never happens to me you can't make sure but if you sleep well you sleep the same number of hours consistently you don't take any substances that impact your sleep the risk of your sleepwalking decreases but you can't be 100 protective of it is it normal to have migraines every single day no absolutely not in fact while we have medications that are abortive in nature that stop migraines there's also medications that are preventive in nature and that prevent migraines from coming on and you should discuss those with your doctor and not all of them are labeled migraine medications some of them are like heart rate medications that like beta blockers that actually help with migraines or antidepressants that can be used off label for migraines so worth a discussion when the doctor asks if I'm on any prescription drug should I tell him I'm using prescription toothpaste or does that not count I've yet to hear about prescription toothpaste but absolutely it counts it should be are you taking anything period like prescription or non-prescription those things still have side effects so I don't even understand the distinction between the two unless you're asking to refill a prescription to send something to the pharmacy I never just ask my patients are you taking any medications is are you taking any medications are you taking any supplements any creams Etc so toothpaste absolutely falls into that category prescription to this because that's not just like a regular over-the-counter product are breads that have a bunch of visible seeds in them actually healthier than bread that doesn't or is that just a marketing trick to Sea pumpkin well first of all Lizzy some people enjoy those seeds like for example I like bread with pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds on it I think there's a big factor to be had with flavor there's also different macros that come with those breads because depending on the type of seed you may increase the protein concentration also the big hack that comes from having seeds is fiber if you don't mind the seeds I I add them on can I become more tolerant of mental health medication 30 milligrams used to do the trick but it doesn't feel like it has the same effect anymore have I gotten used to it it really depends which medication you're talking about because some medications absolutely do have a tolerance building effect Xanax as an example like those are benzodiazepines the answer is it depends do you have a workout playlist you can share I don't I just like use Dance Workout playlist actually I can show you a picture of it workout music hits 2023 it's a really random playlist but I like it is it better to hydrate myself with warm or cold water it's probably no perfect answer to that really cold not ideal really hot above 140 we've seen rates of esophageal cancer going up so again stay away from the extremes what is the actual risk of drinking alcohol if you're on painkillers what could actually happen well it depends which painkillers you're talking about if you're talking about opioids obviously there's the risk of respiratory depression and then if you pass out you can aspirate your own vomit and die when you're drinking alcohol you're less likely to make good decisions so you could take too much of the painkiller and OD when it comes to like stuff like Tylenol takes a load onto your liver because your liver actively needs to filtrate it and in fact some of the biggest hospitalizations for liver failure come from an overuse of acetaminophen which is the active ingredient in Tylenol and then when it comes to like the Advils and motrins of the world these are NSAIDs Mount steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and those can actually have an impact on your stomach lining which then by drinking alcohol which irritates the stomach lining kind of has a doubling effect of irritation causing worsening gastritis especially if you have an ulcer is it true that eating poppy seeds on a bagel can cause you to fail a drug test how long does it take for those seeds to clear your system you know it's a good question I don't know but anecdotally I have heard this to be true specifically in like armed forces and police officer exams they tell you not to use those products is it healthy to and safe to eat insects like crickets I'm seeing them become more popular here in Europe and I'm skeptical if they've been prepared by an adequate food agency I don't know what the equivalent of FDA is in Europe then I don't see why that would be a problem eating them fresh off the ground I can imagine that somethings could go wrong I don't know not really a wildlife expert she's playing chess and exercise because when I play my heart rate goes way up you know I used to think it no but there's been articles coming out of individuals losing a significant number of pounds while playing chess and tournaments you know glucose feeds the brain so it obviously Burns some calories your heart rate goes up I would say that it's an imperfect exercise because it doesn't make you use of your muscles your musculoskeletal system and as a result you can develop aches pains by being in the same locked in position I would say incomplete exercise but a good exercise nonetheless a Val what time of day is best for working out can I make more progress going in the morning for example is there a time of day the body's more primed for exercise I've seen this go both ways within my patient population even for myself for example if I'm going to do a low intensity long exercise session doing it at night doesn't bother me actually helps me fall asleep real well but if I was to do Sprints and doing them close to bedtime at night when I dump all of that adrenaline it's actually hard to fall asleep but I need some time to wind down also some people are not early morning risers so when they wake up they don't feel great that works also even more both ways that some people will start exercising and feel better therefore that's kind of their hack to getting started and other people just don't get good adequate performance and they would prefer to work out later in the day but medically speaking we don't have a thorough answer for that you said sweating more means you pee less does the same apply to crime crying can I cry so much I never pee never pee no because you're still going to be using liquids unless you stop drinking and then you keep crying ultimately your tears would dry up probably before your pee in fact if I see a child in the emergency room and their lips are dry and they're crying and I don't see tears I'm really worried about dehydration why do I get hiccups anytime I eat any really spicy foods oh that's probably because you're irritating your diaphragm and your diaphragm starts to have like a spasm in it if you take like an inhale then a little bit more inhale without exhaling and then another one real quick really fast and really hard it actually stops the hiccup I don't know how it like paralyzes your diaphragm or something what advice do you have about whether a patient should go see a doctor that works in a giant hospital and a healthcare system for seeing a doctor with a small local Private Practice I think most days doctors that are even local Private Practice are affiliated with bigger institutions I'm a fan of having a small local physician that you have a good rapport with and a long-standing relationship with and then if something is outside of their practice or their abilities to help you they have a health care System behind them that they can refer you to but a giant Hospital could be really good if you have a rare condition or obviously like a level one trauma or something like that why do I keep getting charlie horses in my legs when I'm trying to sleep at night most commonly for young healthy athletic people this happens as a result of fatigue if you over fatigue muscle especially if you start a new exercise regimen you go a little too hard you could start developing those types of cramps also there's obviously issues with electrolytes in some people that are maybe dehydrated or they're not just taking in enough electrolytes how can I learn to swallow a pill oh there's actually really useful diagrams on Harvard that they show I'm showing them here about using a water bottle where you actually suck the water bottle and allows you to swallow the pill better obviously there's certain pills that you can crush and like sprinkle into yogurt or applesauce or something just be careful not all pills are able to do that make sure you read the instructions really carefully why does a baby become comforted by a pacifier it tricks the baby into thinking they're being fed I presume it's the suck reflex um so makes sense I'm not a huge fan because it changes the development of the baby's mouth I try to minimize pacifier use or at least encourage my patients to minimize pacifier use but that being said I understand a crying baby is very difficult so I understand the need for a pacifier is rosacea a bad thing I've always had it but always thought it was just one of my beauty traits well it really depends what's causing your red cheeks a lot of times doctors will say it's rosacea but it could be rosacea plus something else I would more so look at the symptoms how much they're bothering you what else is going on in your body generally speaking rosacea is just kind of a blood vessel issue that causes some discoloration on your skin that usually is localized to the area but not in every case sometimes rosacea can be paired with autoimmune conditions for example or rosacea can be diagnosed when there's really a more correct diagnosis like lupus and you get the butterfly rash so you got to be really careful when it comes to rashes Chris Collins AKA call me Chris actually shared some really intimate stories on this podcast I highly recommend you check out the checkout podcast
