The reality is that two sorts of people seem to choose law enforcement. Power hungry bullies and those who truly want to serve and protect. Sadly, the first seems to be outnumbering and driving away the second.
@@CorwinFound Would it be fair to say that the media likely highlights the bully cops? I mean, I'm sure there are plenty of instances of cops going above and beyond, but those stories won't drive views like rage bait does right?
The body cam of the cop saving the couple from the house fire is a perfect example of why in a fire with thick smoke, crawl out, the smoke most likely wont be down low yet and you can see and breath while you get out.
Dude.... The cop that pulled the older couple out of the smoke is a serious bonafide hero! I'm sure the loved ones of the couple, and the couple themselves, are especially thankful to him. I hope all recover quickly.
Now see, that guy would have pulled those people out regardless of whether he was a cop. The vermont asshole though, couldn't have abused his power like he did if he wasn't a cop. Being a hero is independant and often antithetical to being a police officer.
@@talesin7070 most likely he would have, but emergency training may have empowered him to act quicker. (But I was mostly specifying cop because he did happen to be, vs some random person 🤷♀️). I will say, people in a position of authority or often being in a position of authority, especially emergency services or medical services, it can prime you to be ready to jump in a bit more than some in the general public. Often the general public is waiting for those trained to help, or think someone else is already helping... if the smoke or whatever warning signs are noticed at all. Those qualities that allowed him to jump in to help those that need it, and not being able to handle the idea of not helping, are probably a big chunk of why he chose to become an officer. (Probably would have made a great fire fighter as well. 👍)
@@talesin7070he was a cop that acted like a hero, why are you trying to downplay the guy being a cop? Whenever a cop does something bad, oh he’s a power hungry cop and is what every cop is but when a cop does something good, we have to somehow ignore or even downplay he’s a cop.
So I am 27 years old and am lucky enough to have an income to purchase a home in a high demand area. While searching for a home, I ran into so many roadblocks because that neighborhood did not permit someone my age, and their HOA wouldn’t permit my purchase, even after showing that I am a working professional, live comfortably and quietly. People would rather have homes and yards empty and become overgrown than have a young person live beside them.
It’s insane that this is legal and not seen as redlining. Yes, you can grow out of that age demographic but does that make it ok to bar tax paying, independent adults for years because of prejudicial assumptions?

I really like the “Cop News” segment intro. I really like how Phil consistently does his best to hold cops accountable in some way and showing examples of what standard we should hold them to.
I was pretty happy with that degment. Someone mentioned the duality of man... and policing is definitely a profession where you see that. Some cops commit do awful things, others put their lives on the line for strangers. You sure see both sides of the coin.

I am pre-diabetic, obese, and have PCOS with insulin resistance and have been on Ozempic for a little over a year now. Beyond the supply issues, I am someone that's been hit off and on with side effects like nausea, vomiting, fatigue, etc. That said, it's also lowered my A1C enough that, while on the med, I am no longer considered pre-diabetic and it's also helped control some of the symptoms of my PCOS even though that's not the intended use. I got lucky with my primary doctor being fairly knowledgeable regarding obesity treatment, but she's also open to hearing research I do or find that may be relevant. Over the year+ of being on it, I've had appointments with her every 3-6 months to touch base, check my blood levels, monitor side effects, etc. Unfortunately I know a LOT of people don't have that experience with their doctors though.
Agreed! It has helped my PCOS symptoms too. I also have hypothyroidism and Hashimotos and it has helped the symptoms of those so much. I have been on Wegovy though for a little over a year and my doctor has been fabulous through all of it.

I'm Canadian. I was on Saxenda for 4 months, and did end up going off it recently. Partly it was due to cost, but it was also partly due to side effects.

Regarding the bliss story, having worked as a chef for about 8 years now the problem customers are extremely rarely young people. Most people my age and younger are kind to servers and don’t mess us around back of house. Now older people, 50+, a completely different story. Don’t get me wrong, 99% of people of any age are kind when they go out to eat. But I’ve had waiters in tears because of some of the shit they have to deal with from older people. I’ve had a 60+ lady scream in my face that the steak was raw (she ordered it medium rare), I’ve had an old man go to punch me in the face, I unfortunately know quite a few young female waiters who have been touched by older men. There are sooooo many horror stories I’ve either experienced or heard off other people and only one that I can think of involves someone who was in their 20’s. Like I said before, the vast majority of people are fine, but acting like young people are the ones ruining the restaurant experience is dishonest in my opinion Edit: just correcting a few spelling mistakes, dyslexia strikes again
@@feha92 Culinary student here. In my experience working both small local restaraunts and fine dining, most people don't know what medium rare means. I've experienced a lot of people order medium rare when what they want is between medium-well done. I've literally gotten tickets that say "medium-rare no pink" before. When I was a server I had multiple people scream at me that their steaks are raw and point to the small sliver of pink in the middle of the steak.
Well, that's completely different from where I live 🤷♂️ yeah we have abnoxuis older people but a good 80%+ of the younger people don't give a single toss, they destroy the bathrooms, graffiti, break things, put literal bodily fluids from the back end under handles and and such so you don't know till you grab it.

Attorney here, SCOTUS’s decision regarding the SEC, and their choice to apply the 7th amendment, is potentially worse than you think! The same arguments used by SCOTUS applies to the states and therefore it’s not just federal agencies but all agencies, state included. That means that all state agencies will have a potentially much harder time enforcing fraud fines, etc….
Just out of curiosity here more than anything, but wondering your thoughts. It also seems like their reasoning could create even more issues for things besides fraud. If their argument is that the fine is punishment without due process and thus violates the 7th amendment, wouldn't that make fines for say traffic violations no longer constitutional too for the same reason? And if so... I shudder to think the impact that will have on the DMVs of every state.
Another attorney here, and, while I agree with the analysis, I don't think it is particularly dire. If the agency/relevant statute gives the defendant the option to elect between an administrative law judge and a jury as the trier of fact, then the 7th amendment issue should be solved. While it is likely more expensive, and somewhat more time-consuming, for the state to go through with a jury trial, that is the point of the 7th Amendment. Besides, I suspect a fair amount of defendant's would elect the ALJ (as long as statistics don't end up showing that juries are significantly more favorable to the defendant).

Having worked in a pharmacy for about 3 years as a technician, I can confidently say that the vast majority of doctors have zero clue about the medications they are prescribing. The amount of times our pharmacists would catch a deadly interaction or an allergic reaction with a medication was at least a couple times a week.
People underestimate pharmacists, forgetting that they are as educated as most doctors. I've consulted with pharmacists many many times and it's shocking how often they have the answer or know when a visit to the doctor or ER is the best move. Seems like many people view them as glorified cashiers when the reality is that they are some of the most available health professionals we have regular access to. A good relationship with your pharmacist can be a literal life saver.

I have been on Ozempic for about a year and a half and I have lost around 50lbs. I am very fortunate in that I have had very few negative side effects so far. This medication has absolutely changed my life in such a positive way. I used to be so out of breath just walking down the hall and now I can essentially run circles and not be out of breath.
Shout out to that cop, Kevin. I really enjoy it when I get to hear news that a cop was serving and protecting his community instead of harassing and bullying
The amount of stories I have heard from my friends who are plus sized. Can basically be summed up as “hey doc my arm is broken” “well you need to lose some weight” “ok can you fix my arm?” “Let’s focus on your weight first” So many doctors will over look or not test all the time just thinking the issue is weight. Even for those who are not even that big.
Ain't this the truth. I'm a big girl and weight lift everyday and the doctors still say I'm 48% body fat after 70lb weight loss and everything I complained about is because of my weight. 😆
Yep. I herniated a disc lifting a fridge during a move in. Every single doctor I have went to to get my back checked out has said the issue was my weight. Even after I tell them that I have been heavier with no issues for years and years, and only got my back messed up after lifting something heavy the wrong way. Like I get, the symptoms/effects of the herniated disc gets better with a lighter load, but that's not what they're saying. Some of these doctors like to straight up lie/gaslight when it comes to weight.
It's a similar issue with transgender people. Often called "transgender broken arm syndrome" where any issue is automatically considered to be connected to your gender dysphoria/hormones and not taken seriously. Same can be said for plus sized people. A lot of doctors have these biases that impact how they do their jobs and while it's sad, it's also very human
@@Imjustacatladydid it ever occur to you that due to all of the extra weight you carry, it increases your odds of slipping your disc? Almost all health issues, muscular and spinal issues can be fixed with weight loss. I was 30 lbs overweight and my body felt like crap. Once I lost that weight, i felt like a totally different person. If you lost 70lbs, you were severely overweight.
@@Imtiredofthisgrandpa you do realise that everybody is different and what works for you may not work for others. Some have diseases that prevent them from weight loss and need other help which is why it is not useful to tell them to just lose weight without first actually looking at what else could be the issue
About the age limit thing, "I don't mean to do a discrimination, I just have my own preferences here," is basically where _most_ discrimination occurs. Personal preferences really never apply outside of your own personal dating habits.

Weight bias with doctors I have seen is a real thing! I had ankle pain for years and a doctor said it would go away with weight loss. My knee blew up and was finally diagnosed with gout. Since then I have had zero pain on the appropriate medication.
I was told the pain in my ankles and legs was due to my weight and I just needed to exercise. Turns out I had a genetic physical disorder called equinus :( so many years I was told to just work harder when my muscles actually needed surgery to be able to function properly.
Being overweight and a lifestyle that causes obesity is literally a major cause for Gout. Had the weight not been there, there's a reasonable expectation the gout wouldn't have occurred and or would have subsided to a manageable level - it would also be way simpler to diagnose without the weight there - Source: National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. Weight bias is indeed a problem, but it exists because being overweight is very much a root cause for SO MANY problems. - Me, also a former fat guy.
@@BlokedAgainthat doesn’t change the point that doctors will frequently blame weight without being willing to even consider other options. You could have all the symptoms explaining it only to be told “nope, it’s your weight”. Literally ignoring medical test results so they can shoo you out the door. Even if weight can cause gout that doesn’t mean you should ignore any other potential root causes. Especially when there are a lot of conditions that can cause the weight gain to be an actual symptom rather than the cause. The key is that rather it being one component in the diagnosis it becomes the ONLY component. That’s the issue. You don’t have to ignore the weight and impact it has. They do have to stop using “lose weight” as the sole treatment for all issues someone overweight faces.
@@ellewilliams958 You do realize some doctors want you to lose weight not only for your own good but also to help identify ailments that aren't caused by the excessive weight if they're not visible. It sometimes can be a safer thing to do then immediately throw you own a drug or put you through unnecessary imaging that could cost you a fortune unless they have too. You said they ignored test results but what test results? Gout in it's early stages doesn't typically show up on x-rays and if they ran a test for uric acid levels they're not going to risk a malpractice lawsuit by not treating you if you have high levels.
Re: Comparing Tips to Bribes That's where it comes from. The whole point of a "tip" was to bribe the waiter for better/faster service as a way of demonstrating wealth and power to those you're dining with. The only reason there isn't more pushback against the notion of tips at all, is because of the ingrained expectations of corruption that America fostered not just internally, but in its overseas cultural exports as well.
Tips also became a staple to incomes during the prohibition era when dinners lost that massive profit boost, we never returned to a nontip based system sadly.
Weight bias absolutely makes healthcare difficult. I have lost 100lbs+ and have definitely been treated differently. Suddenly things like my inability to sleep and generalized pain had diagnoses and treatment. This includes mental health, too. Whereas I was lazy and stupid before, now I have ADHD.
@@a.jherbert5436 Being wrong about something is a choice, being stupid is not. One does not always come with the other, but there are examples. Thanks for the demonstration.
Actually it is. ADHD impacts the regulation of dopamine and other feel good chemicals in the brain so it's harder to be motivated to be productive when you get little to no joy or satisfaction from it. Further, this impacts the ability to maintain concentration for extended periods , especially if the task at hand is difficult, confusing or uninteresting to the afflicted. Lastly, ADHD is often comorbid with learning disabilities, anxiety and depression which can also limit the patient's ability to learn. @@a.jherbert5436
Isn't that because being overweight is actually a major precursor for a lot of medical conditions? So if that major precursor is ruled out then they are able to look more in depth no?
@@VelCroweBar The problem is when they refuse to look at any alternatives to weight as the issue despite patients having understanding of what's normal for them at their weight. ie, when another commenter got a herniated disc from lifting a fridge wrong, doctors completely ignored the fact that the fridge caused an obvious (and treatable!) issue, because "clearly their back pain was only caused by them being fat, just lose some weight and you'll feel better". Refused to accept that lifting a fridge could have been the issue despite being told that it was the issue and it obviously being the issue, so the herniated disc went untreated far longer than necessary.

Everything you said about ozempic today hit the nail on the head. I was put on it in november by a diabetes specialist who told me how to slowly increase my dosage and that she'll see me in 2 years. Didn't get any information about how to actually live on ozempic. The side effects were so bad, and anytime I turned to my GP (not an obesity specialist) about them, I was told that it's all normal and should even out. They never did, I could barely eat a meal every other day, and was throwing up constantly. Given anti-nausea meds for chemo patients, but they barely made a dent. I finally stopped taking it a month ago and I feel better in every single way! The tiny bit of weight I lost was so not worth the absolute hell that was being on this medication

I started Wegovy about a month and a half ago. The process to go on it was that my endocrinologist brought up at the end of every appointment for about a year (which was only like 4, but still) that she thought I should try going on weight loss medication, and I would tell her no for some reason or another. I gave in at our last appointment, and she had a nurse teach me how to do the injections and tell me what the most likely side-effects were, and that’s about all the guidance I’ve gotten. I didn’t think about it too much at the time, because that’s sort of how it goes with most of my meds: here’s what it’s for, here’s how to take it, here are the side effects. But I really wish there was… more.
I'm on Zepbound after a PCOS diagnosis and it's a mess to be on any of those drugs right now. I've been off and on for months because of backordering and fights with insurance. Nausea, fatigue, and a weird sweet taste in my mouth all the time and no real guidelines from my prescriber. Super glad there are online resources for people even if they're not official.
I just wanted to say, the Cop Segment is a great way to handle news about police officers, if you show cops being corrupt, show one of one going above and beyond. Often, the good cops are also punished for the behavior of bad ones and that's unfair, so good on you for setting the segment up like this. We need to protect the good ones before the bad ones fire them or transfer them like the bullies that they are.
Completely agree, this needs to be a regular segment. It's been proven time and time again that merely yelling at people for doing shitty things doesn't help anyone, it just makes people angry on both sides. But these stories still need covering, so bookending them with a story of a cop doing something heroic adds a little "see, we don't just hate on cops, we hate on bad cops. Wouldn't you prefer to strive to be better?" whilst of course also providing well-deserved praise to the hero. Could be a great first step in reintroducing nuance to the cop conversation.
Counterpoint, it's not Phil's job to manage PR for cops. It's his job to cover news and people doing their job without being a jagoff is not newsworthy.
@terahwilliams2051 going above and beyond to run defense for cops? Lmao. They're all bastards. If you are a cop in a country with the highest incarcerated population, you're a monster.
I am diabetic and obese, and I've been on Ozempic since 2020. Honestly, my doctor just put me on it and told me how much to take weekly without mentioning the side effects or that it could help me lose weight. In fact, I only learned about its weight loss benefits when Phill started reporting on it.
I think there just needs to be so much more done to properly deal with obesity in health services aside from just "eat better and exercise and all your problems will go away". There are many reasons for obesity aside from what people think (laziness and gluttony). Case in point, I'm also obese and went through my life with doctors telling me to just do sports and eat better. I tried and nothing worked, I thought it was all my fault and that I wasn't trying hard enough. It took until I was 25 to correctly be diagnosed with PCOS (a hormone condition that, among other symptoms, leads to uncontrolled weight gain). In combination with PCOS, I also had insulin resistance (pre-diabetes, often goes hand in hand with PCOS with one making the other worse). While being treated for that, I still felt weak and without energy to do things and still gained weight. It then took until I was 30 years old until doctors finally checked my thyroids and found out I also have hypothyroidism. So it took until I was 30 for doctors to find out I had 3 medical conditions that severely impact my weight and contribute to my obesity and up until then I got constantly shamed for being a lazy glutton. Now I'm finally receiving medication and slowly regaining some energy, but have to now struggle with carrying all that weight around. Had my doctors taken my issues seriously sooner and actually checked me for those issues before just blaming my lifestyle, a lot of this probably could have been avoided. I'm not one to cry fatshaming or fatphobia, but in the medical industry, it IS a huge problem. I'm sorry your doctor didn't explain things to you properly, but I do hope that you can benefit from the use of the medication.
@@Windmelodie Thanks for sharing your personal story. The issues surrounding obesity extend to research as well as I'm sure you can imagine. In the video, Phil called obesity a cause of health issues; however, there is no research to suggest a casual relationship between higher body fat and health issues. What we do have would be a correlational relationship, and a rather weak one at that. You've probably heard this one already, but the correlational relationship between a man being bald and him having heart disease is actually far higher than that between an obese person and their development of heart disease. I don't see anyone jumping up to take the fight against America's male pattern baldness epidemic though, so we seem to have a double standard that is favored to view fat as a more valid metric of health. Fat and weight however are perhaps the most invalid, unreliable, and foolish ways to measure health, which in itself is a sticky concept, but maybe I'll discuss that in another comment so as to not go on a tangent. When we have correlates, there is something we can learn still. Though it would be tremendously dishonest and unethical to claim a weak correlate as a causal interaction, (which is what doctors, the media, and even our boy Phil just did) this relationship can tell us about the world we live in and the potential extraneous variables which may be at play here. It is like we are capturing and observing the thing we want to observe, but the data tells us that we aren't looking at the right variable. This is when the question is asked, "what is the correct variable?" My guess is stress. I don't know your life, but I do know that you shared 30 years of being told you were lazy, a glutton, and not being fully taken seriously by doctors because of their prejudice (not just a buzzword, literally meaning that they put judgment on you before taking into account the whole story). I can only imagine that this sentiment was echoed in other domains of your life, and I cannot imagine that was easy. That is stress, likely trauma too. Among all groups with statistically significant correlational data showing a relationship between their personal identifiers and a higher risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes, there are studies to suggest heightened stress as well. Some of this is common sense I think. Going bald is big change and bald men (women aren't studied nearly as much for this) report blows to their self esteem and in turn more stress. We already discussed the stress of being outcasted by society just for having a larger build, and then you can go down the list if you wish regarding the other populations with an increased correlate and risk with these diseases. Stress has more going for it too, as studies have shown their own correlational relationships between stress and heart disease, higher cholesterol, and diabetes. (there is actually some causal data there too, but it isn't in humans). Weight and fat have also been shown to be increasingly dependent upon genetic factors, at least in a vacuum. The most recent development I saw demonstrated that 80% of a person's weight and fat allocation/abundance is determined by their genetics. This falls in line with the genetic predictors for the other relationships we observe, such as with baldness and skin color (adding this here because of the correlates between being a woman of color and having heart disease etc.) I would hope that doctors would not interpret this data to suggest that being a person of color or being bald is inherently unhealthy, but the same rule seems to not apply to weight/fat. Many in the body positive community actually refer to fatphobia as just a rebranded racism. While I am not too educated in the facts behind this, I can definitley see where they are coming from based on the aforementioned discrepancies in interpreting data. Fat/weight shouldn't be a way that we measure health. Fat/weight also shouldn't be THE way we measure health. I can see the argument for it being a symptom of some underlying disease (such as your example with the three conditions); however, I would still exercise caution with not overdoing this approach either. I don't want to ramble too much as I already have, so I want to end with an analogy. Gasoline doesn't cause fires, it's just flammable. If firefighters and the general public thought that gasoline was the cause of all fires, we would probably be living in a much more dangerous and ignorant world.
Shout out to that absolute king saving that elderly couple and the rest of the apartment building just to be safe. Absolute bravery, running in with no safety gear, he just knew what he had to do.
Regarding gifts to public officials, as a Funeral Director in NYC, we deal with the City Ckerk office almost daily. Years ago, it wasn't uncommon to send the office a cookie plate or similar around the holidays. The city has made such a strong push to fight corruption that I couldn't give a cough drop to an employee that attended my wedding because it was in the clerk's office and on camera. That's how seriously gift giving is taken. To have decision makers able to be influenced by gifts is pure insanity and corruption.
The story about the cop saving the elderly couple’s lives hits close to home. my father is 70 with parkinson’s disease that is slowly just getting worse with time. just imagining him being in the same position as that older man almost brought me to tears. i hope any policeman would do the same for my father has he did for them. i’m not someone who particularly likes or agrees the current policing system but that cop - in my mind - is what the system needs more of: people who protect and serve, not arrest you for flipping them off, etc.
Lol it's sad that's your view of cops. Do you know how many millions of calls cops make a year? The amount of stupid they deal with is amazing what they do.
I need the cop news theme song to become a permanent addition to the Philip DeFranco show because there are so many horrifying stories with the police now that I need some kind of laughter to prepare me for whatever absolutely tragic story he’s about to tell us about so I don’t completely lose all sanity whatever little bit I have left.
As a member of police accountability community, some of these bad cop-stories are so enraging and heartbreaking, I cant recommend them for anyone, even if everyone should know about them. Im somewhat stoic Finn and Ive cried, yelled and swung my ipad away in anger. To me this is human rights issue, thats the only thing keeping me at it. But it’s bad, really bad.
Regarding the Ozempic and Wegovy thing, both of my parents have been prescribed the stuff, and both of them decided they had to get off of it because all of a sudden there just wasn’t any to go around. But what I think is important is that neither of them saw a weight or obesity specialist before being given the drugs, when my mother stopped the drug she did find it easier to deal with constipation (though I believe there are other factors and not just this drug), and I actually think my mother is the same weight as I am now, but no one would ever suggest I need to use the drug because we look so vastly different. My mother has a naturally wider build than I do, and it absolutely shows in how differently we’ve been treated in the past.
Hearing the whole side effects and medicine story just makes me so damn grateful my dad is a pharmacist. I have an on-the-go specialist to consult about medicine. He's recommended medicine to my family doc multiple times for me. So far only one of them didn't work out; and that's because the med just didn't vibe with my body.
My entire experience with doctors has been them ignoring or minimizing my symptoms due to my weight or gender. Any problem is always met with "well it's caused by your weight". They never did any testing, brushed off my concerns, and shamed me for my body. I was a minor for many of these experiences and for most obese/overweight people in the US, it is what's expected. My partner had random meds thrown at him that ultimately worsened his blood pressure and caused him to gain significant weight over the span of a few years. We just want to be taken seriously by our health care providers and listened to when something isn't right.
I live in South Korea, which has very “relaxed” discrimination laws, as many foreigners might know here as they’ve maybe been unable to enter certain places because they are foreigners. Because of this there have been recent headlines dealing with age based rules businesses have put in place. It started with “no kid zones” and then I saw “no older people” zones, and recently a gym made headlines for “no Ajumma zones” which is a word for older women, and on the sign describing behaviors related to problems they generally have with ajummas to explain their rule. There is also the opposite seen in college areas, particularly with drinking places and clubs that don’t allow people over 30.
okay- so if they want to compare corrupt money to a servers tip- all government officials need to make less money since, you know, they’ll get “tips” afterwards.
Thank you for showcasing the courage of one officer to offset the cowardice and thin skin of another. It's important to highlight good officers actions. We've already alienated officers and reduced funding in areas that desperately need policing at a time with record recent history violent crime rates.
I had taken Ozempic for Diabetes and I had nausea, sulfer burps, bloating, inability to eat even when hungry and finally explosive diarrhea and vomiting which lead to me never taking it again. Be weary of it and if you do take it keep up with your doctor to try and manage your symptoms
I just started taking ozempic a month ago. I work at a diabetes clinic, and I understand the shortage issues. But I'm morbidly obese (basically my whole life), and I've worked for over a year with 2 dieticians and a fitness instructor. I lost 20 lbs almost immediately, then stopped. It took a LOT for me to ask for prescription help because I already feel like a failure. The crazy thing is, I still haven't lost weight and it's been 5 weeks. But I just met with my PCP today and the dosage is getting adjusted. She asked me so many questions and made sure I wasn't experiencing side effects. And I STILL learned something from this episode...I didn't know I needed to increase my water intake. The whole situation is just....a lot. And scary. I can't imagine trying to navigate this without professional medical advice and monitoring.
Don’t see yourself as a failure, you’re working on better your health and doing so responsibly by following medical orientation. Hope your treatment continues to go well, keep yourself hydrated!
I take Ozempic for diabetes, but it was also offered for weight loss as well( weight loss has been slow but works). The side effects are so harsh sometimes -the constant migraines after taking the meds and the stomach issues are ridiculous. However, when I’ve brought these issues up to my nurse practitioner, she has always been super supportive. Giving me tips she saw on TikTok and heard from others. Where before I had a doctor ignore me when I went to them with an ear infection and just went on how I need to loss more weight
My partner may actually have a fatty acid conversion disorder. They try fasting, have done a dozen diets, work out, starvation, everything, NOTHING works. They don't produce ketones :/ So they can't lose weight even st defecits in calories. They wanted to try Wegovy, and seek genetic testing finally but that's a longer process, to try and lose some weight. They have SO MANY medical issues being blown off despite having them since they were a non-obese child.....
I've experienced weight bias and I was only slightly overweight and it reinforced a hatred of doctors. This was back in October 2020. I tripped on a rabbit hole and fell, breaking my ankle. Went to the ER and the doctor was great. I get referred to the fracture clinic the next day and when I show up to the appointment my mom is pushing me in my sister's wheelchair (my sister has CRPS and her battle with doctors could be a novel). My sister had lent me her chair for my appointment because I was in so much pain and I lack upper body strength (I have since I was in middle school. I've been on crutches before and it did not end well). I'm talking to the doctor, explaining that I had broken my foot 4 years before and it wasn't found until 18 months after, and it took another 6 months in a cast for it to fully heal. He cuts me off tells me that my ankle won't heal because I am too fat. I try to explain that my sports injury specialist from university who treated my break before said I have issues healing because of my anemia. He continues to ignore what I am saying and asks what I ate for lunch that day. When I said leftover pizza because I was too sore to stand in the kitchen to cook anything and only my physically disabled sister and I were at home, he tells me that I need to cut carbs and eat more eggs otherwise my ankle won't heal. And that I need to exercise more and lose weight. I'M IN A FREAKING ANKLE BOOT HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO EXERCISE?! The next time I had to see him I went in on crutches (struggling might I add) and he was much nicer. But still went on about eating more eggs. As I said before, I was only slightly overweight at the time (who wasn't at that point in the lockdown. I was around a size 14 and I'm 5ft 2) but I was pretty physically active before lockdown. But Ontario locked down hard and at one point I had to carry a letter of employment around incase I got stopped by the cops on my way to work (I worked overnight at a hospital screening people coming into maternity) so obviously I couldn't go hiking or to the gym at the time. I moved to South Korea shortly after and they have a lot of stigma about weight, but the doctors there were actually much better at listening to me and not blaming everything on my weight. Canadian doctors suck (the poll mentioned doesn't surprise me at all).
I didn’t realize how wildly awful doctors act about fat people (like I knew it was bad but didn’t know what the alternative felt like) until I moved to China. Firstly it wasn’t until after my third appointment for an issue that actually could have been weight related, though it wasn’t, that I realized they hadn’t weighed me like doctors back home in Texas did each time. And whenever my weight was brought up, it was in direct connection to lab results or a potential risk, never “you’re fat so this won’t happen” or “you’re overweight so you’re definitely going to have these issues,” and it almost never comes up at all! It’s lovely.
My doctor told me to lose weight and walk more to feel better, when I went to ask about chronic fatigue… which was causing me to walk less. I was a size 12 and am 6ft tall so it isn’t as noticeable when I’m a few pounds over. While we talked she looked at my chart and once she saw the weight she cut me off to mention exercise. It was literally the first time I felt I wasn’t being listened to by my doctor. It gave me a new perspective on how those overweight get treated that I hope I keep with me even once the extra weight is gone.
This has been my whole life. One even diagnosing me with high blood pressure medicine when I was stressed at the doctor’s office every time. I took the medicine for two days and could barely keep my eyes open, because guess what I didn’t have high blood pressure, I get stressed at the doctor’s office. I also walked on a bad knee for 3 months after knocking my knee out of place. My doctor just saying it’s because I’m overweight. Well, they sent me to an orthopedic and we found out I had twisted and flipped my meniscus to one side of my knee and was walking bone on bone on the one side. My orthopedic was pissed that no one listened to me. I feel they act like we don’t know our own bodies. It’s frustrating!
I know it was yesterdays story but it just baffles me how for decades now, horrible people are able to adopt a bunch of kids and do horrible things, yet time and time again I hear stories of people who WANT to adopt being denied for 3-5 years, being told they dont make enough, are a single parent, etc.
I have a former co-worker and their spouse who were denied because the required DNA test on their two shelter-adopted and very gentle dogs showed that one is something like 10% a "pitbull" breed. Literally, two K-12 teachers that can't have their own kids and their not allowed to adopt a child unless they rehome their beloved pet.
As an obese Canadian who had to deal with the Canadian healthcare system all his life , i can say that only 1 of the several doctors i dealt with saw my obesity as a medical symptom instead of an attribute of the patient. and that doctor had the most success in administrating changes for me. the sentence that helped was : '' you HAVE fat , you ARE NOT fat.''
Wow that probably would have made a big change for me if my previous doctors said that when I was young. I’ve always hated the judgey looks they give you when they say weightloss
I don’t usually comment on videos, but watching your videos have been the one part of my day where I’m not stressed out and can just relax. It has really become part of my routine and I just wanted to thank you Phil; thank you for doing what you do. :)
I have a coworker named Kevin and every time he meets another person named Kevin he tells them “hey, all Kevins are great people” and Officer Kevin is no exception ❤
The fuck is wrong with these cops? I saw a video a few days ago where a cop had arrested a woman saying it was because she performed an “improper lane change”. She had put her phone on the top of the car and they handcuffed her. She asked for her phone but they wouldn’t give it to her and put her in the patrol car. They didn’t know that her phone was still recording video and after the cops by her car turned their cams and mics off the phone caught them talking about it. The cop that pulled her over arrested her because she flipped him off. The saving factor here was that the cops SGT told him he can’t do that then you hear the cop ask if he needed to “unarrest her”. Like wtf. I hope she sues and gets PAID.

Honestly it was that good whiplash tho 🤣🤣🤣 I was like “a CHAD cop??? WORD???”
The reality is that two sorts of people seem to choose law enforcement. Power hungry bullies and those who truly want to serve and protect. Sadly, the first seems to be outnumbering and driving away the second.
@@CorwinFound Would it be fair to say that the media likely highlights the bully cops? I mean, I'm sure there are plenty of instances of cops going above and beyond, but those stories won't drive views like rage bait does right?
The cop saying "I'm not sensitive! In fact, this is the first time I'm pulling someone over for being a big meanie" is hilarious
The body cam of the cop saving the couple from the house fire is a perfect example of why in a fire with thick smoke, crawl out, the smoke most likely wont be down low yet and you can see and breath while you get out.
That's great advice if you don't have mobility issues
Dude.... The cop that pulled the older couple out of the smoke is a serious bonafide hero! I'm sure the loved ones of the couple, and the couple themselves, are especially thankful to him. I hope all recover quickly.
Now see, that guy would have pulled those people out regardless of whether he was a cop. The vermont asshole though, couldn't have abused his power like he did if he wasn't a cop. Being a hero is independant and often antithetical to being a police officer.
@@talesin7070 most likely he would have, but emergency training may have empowered him to act quicker. (But I was mostly specifying cop because he did happen to be, vs some random person 🤷♀️).
I will say, people in a position of authority or often being in a position of authority, especially emergency services or medical services, it can prime you to be ready to jump in a bit more than some in the general public. Often the general public is waiting for those trained to help, or think someone else is already helping... if the smoke or whatever warning signs are noticed at all. Those qualities that allowed him to jump in to help those that need it, and not being able to handle the idea of not helping, are probably a big chunk of why he chose to become an officer. (Probably would have made a great fire fighter as well. 👍)
@@talesin7070 It's not the profession that's the issue, it's the morals of the individual.
@@DerpyDerp254yeah, but profession influences environment and lived experiences which influences an individuals character and morals
@@talesin7070he was a cop that acted like a hero, why are you trying to downplay the guy being a cop?

So I am 27 years old and am lucky enough to have an income to purchase a home in a high demand area. While searching for a home, I ran into so many roadblocks because that neighborhood did not permit someone my age, and their HOA wouldn’t permit my purchase, even after showing that I am a working professional, live comfortably and quietly. People would rather have homes and yards empty and become overgrown than have a young person live beside them.
It’s insane that this is legal and not seen as redlining. Yes, you can grow out of that age demographic but does that make it ok to bar tax paying, independent adults for years because of prejudicial assumptions?
What kind of HOA has the power to disapprove the sale of a property? That's insane and I've never heard of that before.
@@shinigami052 oh dude you would be shocked how much power HOA’s have over properties in their communities. They can impose any restrictions they want to keep their property value and community standard.

I was pretty happy with that degment. Someone mentioned the duality of man... and policing is definitely a profession where you see that. Some cops commit do awful things, others put their lives on the line for strangers. You sure see both sides of the coin.

I am pre-diabetic, obese, and have PCOS with insulin resistance and have been on Ozempic for a little over a year now. Beyond the supply issues, I am someone that's been hit off and on with side effects like nausea, vomiting, fatigue, etc. That said, it's also lowered my A1C enough that, while on the med, I am no longer considered pre-diabetic and it's also helped control some of the symptoms of my PCOS even though that's not the intended use. I got lucky with my primary doctor being fairly knowledgeable regarding obesity treatment, but she's also open to hearing research I do or find that may be relevant. Over the year+ of being on it, I've had appointments with her every 3-6 months to touch base, check my blood levels, monitor side effects, etc. Unfortunately I know a LOT of people don't have that experience with their doctors though.
Agreed! It has helped my PCOS symptoms too. I also have hypothyroidism and Hashimotos and it has helped the symptoms of those so much. I have been on Wegovy though for a little over a year and my doctor has been fabulous through all of it.

If you are ever rescuing somebody from a burning building, notice how the smoke rises? Stay low and you can breathe non-smoky air a lot longer and see further.

Regarding the bliss story, having worked as a chef for about 8 years now the problem customers are extremely rarely young people. Most people my age and younger are kind to servers and don’t mess us around back of house. Now older people, 50+, a completely different story. Don’t get me wrong, 99% of people of any age are kind when they go out to eat. But I’ve had waiters in tears because of some of the shit they have to deal with from older people. I’ve had a 60+ lady scream in my face that the steak was raw (she ordered it medium rare), I’ve had an old man go to punch me in the face, I unfortunately know quite a few young female waiters who have been touched by older men. There are sooooo many horror stories I’ve either experienced or heard off other people and only one that I can think of involves someone who was in their 20’s. Like I said before, the vast majority of people are fine, but acting like young people are the ones ruining the restaurant experience is dishonest in my opinion
Edit: just correcting a few spelling mistakes, dyslexia strikes again
medium rare does not mean raw. Screaming like that is still wrong, but your parenthesis made it seem like she should have expected what she got.
@@feha92 Culinary student here. In my experience working both small local restaraunts and fine dining, most people don't know what medium rare means.

When I was a server I had multiple people scream at me that their steaks are raw and point to the small sliver of pink in the middle of the steak.

Attorney here, SCOTUS’s decision regarding the SEC, and their choice to apply the 7th amendment, is potentially worse than you think! The same arguments used by SCOTUS applies to the states and therefore it’s not just federal agencies but all agencies, state included. That means that all state agencies will have a potentially much harder time enforcing fraud fines, etc….
Just out of curiosity here more than anything, but wondering your thoughts. It also seems like their reasoning could create even more issues for things besides fraud. If their argument is that the fine is punishment without due process and thus violates the 7th amendment, wouldn't that make fines for say traffic violations no longer constitutional too for the same reason? And if so... I shudder to think the impact that will have on the DMVs of every state.
Another attorney here, and, while I agree with the analysis, I don't think it is particularly dire. If the agency/relevant statute gives the defendant the option to elect between an administrative law judge and a jury as the trier of fact, then the 7th amendment issue should be solved. While it is likely more expensive, and somewhat more time-consuming, for the state to go through with a jury trial, that is the point of the 7th Amendment. Besides, I suspect a fair amount of defendant's would elect the ALJ (as long as statistics don't end up showing that juries are significantly more favorable to the defendant).

Smoke filled corridors without resp and mask is no joke either. Worked at sea for 10yrs and one of the scariest aspects of training was the smoke shacks. No gear, no repsperator and no light inside and it simulates the inside of a smoke filled ship and you have to get through it. Scary disorientating and 20-30 odd seconds it takes feels like hours. Props to that guy for not only getting the job done but dusting himself off and carrying on to ensure everyone else was OK 🤗
We need more media attention to heroes like Kevin Long. Man is an American hero!!!
Having worked in a pharmacy for about 3 years as a technician, I can confidently say that the vast majority of doctors have zero clue about the medications they are prescribing. The amount of times our pharmacists would catch a deadly interaction or an allergic reaction with a medication was at least a couple times a week.
People underestimate pharmacists, forgetting that they are as educated as most doctors. I've consulted with pharmacists many many times and it's shocking how often they have the answer or know when a visit to the doctor or ER is the best move. Seems like many people view them as glorified cashiers when the reality is that they are some of the most available health professionals we have regular access to. A good relationship with your pharmacist can be a literal life saver.
As a patient, I have had doctors try to prescribe something I'm allergic to far too often
My dad was a Kevin cop and lost him to a heart attack a few years back…he would’ve been the age of those same people Kevin saved…I’m only in my 20s it’s a diff kinda hurt knowing I don’t have my pops with me this early so seeing someone who reminded me of my dad saving someone who would’ve been in the same age/ condition of my dad was really surreal…and he went back in and did 16 others…Kevin….dude. I’m sobbing you are truly one of the brightest lights in this ever dimming world…wish I could meet you and thank you for each and everyone of those family’s big guy. Congrats.
I’m sorry for your loss, can’t imagine the pain of losing a parent so young.
I’m so sorry ❤
It does get better I promise!!! I lost my dad when I was 25 and I will be happily celebrating my 45th birthday in August!!! There’s not a day that goes by that I do not think of him. It was rough when I got married and he wasn’t there when I had kids and he wasn’t there but that’s the whole catch. He’s been here with me the whole time like your father will be with you the whole time and is with you the whole time!!! Just don’t ever forget him and he will be next to you!!! One thing that I have done is live life for the both of you!!! Also live a life you know he would be proud of you for!!! by doing that not only do you get to honor him he’ll never not be with you!!!
I have been on Ozempic for about a year and a half and I have lost around 50lbs. I am very fortunate in that I have had very few negative side effects so far. This medication has absolutely changed my life in such a positive way. I used to be so out of breath just walking down the hall and now I can essentially run circles and not be out of breath.
Shout out to that cop, Kevin. I really enjoy it when I get to hear news that a cop was serving and protecting his community instead of harassing and bullying
Officer riggins can find a cactus sit and rotate.
Kevin has me in tears
Love you Kevin. That story literally gave me full body chills. KEVIN is the blue we need. ❤❤❤
The amount of stories I have heard from my friends who are plus sized. Can basically be summed up as “hey doc my arm is broken” “well you need to lose some weight” “ok can you fix my arm?” “Let’s focus on your weight first”
So many doctors will over look or not test all the time just thinking the issue is weight. Even for those who are not even that big.
Ain't this the truth. I'm a big girl and weight lift everyday and the doctors still say I'm 48% body fat after 70lb weight loss and everything I complained about is because of my weight. 😆
Yep. I herniated a disc lifting a fridge during a move in. Every single doctor I have went to to get my back checked out has said the issue was my weight. Even after I tell them that I have been heavier with no issues for years and years, and only got my back messed up after lifting something heavy the wrong way. Like I get, the symptoms/effects of the herniated disc gets better with a lighter load, but that's not what they're saying. Some of these doctors like to straight up lie/gaslight when it comes to weight.
It's a similar issue with transgender people. Often called "transgender broken arm syndrome" where any issue is automatically considered to be connected to your gender dysphoria/hormones and not taken seriously. Same can be said for plus sized people. A lot of doctors have these biases that impact how they do their jobs and while it's sad, it's also very human
@@Imjustacatladydid it ever occur to you that due to all of the extra weight you carry, it increases your odds of slipping your disc? Almost all health issues, muscular and spinal issues can be fixed with weight loss. I was 30 lbs overweight and my body felt like crap. Once I lost that weight, i felt like a totally different person. If you lost 70lbs, you were severely overweight.
@@Imtiredofthisgrandpa you do realise that everybody is different and what works for you may not work for others. Some have diseases that prevent them from weight loss and need other help which is why it is not useful to tell them to just lose weight without first actually looking at what else could be the issue
About the age limit thing, "I don't mean to do a discrimination, I just have my own preferences here," is basically where _most_ discrimination occurs. Personal preferences really never apply outside of your own personal dating habits.
I agree. I wonder how they'd feel if a restaurant did the same but said "no women", "no black people" with the "it's just a personal preference" excuse

From the perspective of a 27yo bloke, I don't know about anyone else's experience but for me personally younger folk will typically be more of a nuisance and do dumb things rather than the older crowd.

@@BlankinBlankets I used to be a server at olive garden for about 4 yrs. Majority of the rude/ hostile/ garbage tipper customers I got were all 40+. The younger 20/30s customers were almost always super nice
You said “Zofran”, and my body had a physical reaction. I was on it for my *entire* pregnancy because my morning sickness was so bad. Being on Zofran was a different flavor of misery than enduring without it. Only anecdotes from other women helped me survive, my doctor was pretty vague when they prescribed to me.
I take Zofran for occasional nausea. It’s a blessing for me. Never had a bad experience with it other than sleepiness
Honestly. Super happy to see a good cop story and even being the BAMF. So happy to see.
Weight bias with doctors I have seen is a real thing! I had ankle pain for years and a doctor said it would go away with weight loss. My knee blew up and was finally diagnosed with gout. Since then I have had zero pain on the appropriate medication.
I was told the pain in my ankles and legs was due to my weight and I just needed to exercise. Turns out I had a genetic physical disorder called equinus :( so many years I was told to just work harder when my muscles actually needed surgery to be able to function properly.
Being overweight and a lifestyle that causes obesity is literally a major cause for Gout. Had the weight not been there, there's a reasonable expectation the gout wouldn't have occurred and or would have subsided to a manageable level - it would also be way simpler to diagnose without the weight there - Source: National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.
Weight bias is indeed a problem, but it exists because being overweight is very much a root cause for SO MANY problems.
- Me, also a former fat guy.
@@BlokedAgainthat doesn’t change the point that doctors will frequently blame weight without being willing to even consider other options. You could have all the symptoms explaining it only to be told “nope, it’s your weight”. Literally ignoring medical test results so they can shoo you out the door. Even if weight can cause gout that doesn’t mean you should ignore any other potential root causes. Especially when there are a lot of conditions that can cause the weight gain to be an actual symptom rather than the cause.
The key is that rather it being one component in the diagnosis it becomes the ONLY component. That’s the issue. You don’t have to ignore the weight and impact it has. They do have to stop using “lose weight” as the sole treatment for all issues someone overweight faces.
@@ellewilliams958 You do realize some doctors want you to lose weight not only for your own good but also to help identify ailments that aren't caused by the excessive weight if they're not visible. It sometimes can be a safer thing to do then immediately throw you own a drug or put you through unnecessary imaging that could cost you a fortune unless they have too. You said they ignored test results but what test results? Gout in it's early stages doesn't typically show up on x-rays and if they ran a test for uric acid levels they're not going to risk a malpractice lawsuit by not treating you if you have high levels.
Officer Kevin is a god damn hero. We need more officers like him
Re: Comparing Tips to Bribes
That's where it comes from. The whole point of a "tip" was to bribe the waiter for better/faster service as a way of demonstrating wealth and power to those you're dining with. The only reason there isn't more pushback against the notion of tips at all, is because of the ingrained expectations of corruption that America fostered not just internally, but in its overseas cultural exports as well.
Tips also became a staple to incomes during the prohibition era when dinners lost that massive profit boost, we never returned to a nontip based system sadly.
Weight bias absolutely makes healthcare difficult. I have lost 100lbs+ and have definitely been treated differently. Suddenly things like my inability to sleep and generalized pain had diagnoses and treatment. This includes mental health, too. Whereas I was lazy and stupid before, now I have ADHD.
Having ADHD is not an excuse to be lazy and stupid.
@@a.jherbert5436 Being wrong about something is a choice, being stupid is not. One does not always come with the other, but there are examples.
Thanks for the demonstration.
Actually it is. ADHD impacts the regulation of dopamine and other feel good chemicals in the brain so it's harder to be motivated to be productive when you get little to no joy or satisfaction from it. Further, this impacts the ability to maintain concentration for extended periods , especially if the task at hand is difficult, confusing or uninteresting to the afflicted. Lastly, ADHD is often comorbid with learning disabilities, anxiety and depression which can also limit the patient's ability to learn. @@a.jherbert5436
Isn't that because being overweight is actually a major precursor for a lot of medical conditions? So if that major precursor is ruled out then they are able to look more in depth no?
@@VelCroweBar The problem is when they refuse to look at any alternatives to weight as the issue despite patients having understanding of what's normal for them at their weight. ie, when another commenter got a herniated disc from lifting a fridge wrong, doctors completely ignored the fact that the fridge caused an obvious (and treatable!) issue, because "clearly their back pain was only caused by them being fat, just lose some weight and you'll feel better". Refused to accept that lifting a fridge could have been the issue despite being told that it was the issue and it obviously being the issue, so the herniated disc went untreated far longer than necessary.

My god that Kevin Long story made me teary eyed, a lot of times the stories we hear about cops are negative but seeing a story like that just makes me happy
Everything you said about ozempic today hit the nail on the head. I was put on it in november by a diabetes specialist who told me how to slowly increase my dosage and that she'll see me in 2 years. Didn't get any information about how to actually live on ozempic. The side effects were so bad, and anytime I turned to my GP (not an obesity specialist) about them, I was told that it's all normal and should even out. They never did, I could barely eat a meal every other day, and was throwing up constantly. Given anti-nausea meds for chemo patients, but they barely made a dent. I finally stopped taking it a month ago and I feel better in every single way! The tiny bit of weight I lost was so not worth the absolute hell that was being on this medication
Ironically, having worked in food service for ten years, the younger people tended to be kinder

YES! Way less problematic for service, way more willing to try stuff, better at accepting if something goes wrong and the remedies to fix it, better tippers. Give me a bunch of 20 year olds over a table of 40s any day and every time.

Honestly, according to the ruling, absolutely fine
I started Wegovy about a month and a half ago. The process to go on it was that my endocrinologist brought up at the end of every appointment for about a year (which was only like 4, but still) that she thought I should try going on weight loss medication, and I would tell her no for some reason or another. I gave in at our last appointment, and she had a nurse teach me how to do the injections and tell me what the most likely side-effects were, and that’s about all the guidance I’ve gotten. I didn’t think about it too much at the time, because that’s sort of how it goes with most of my meds: here’s what it’s for, here’s how to take it, here are the side effects. But I really wish there was… more.
Phil is the BAMF for flipping off that cop on all our behalf
I'm on Zepbound after a PCOS diagnosis and it's a mess to be on any of those drugs right now. I've been off and on for months because of backordering and fights with insurance. Nausea, fatigue, and a weird sweet taste in my mouth all the time and no real guidelines from my prescriber. Super glad there are online resources for people even if they're not official.
it's a shame as all these side effects disappear with regular, long term use
I just wanted to say, the Cop Segment is a great way to handle news about police officers, if you show cops being corrupt, show one of one going above and beyond.
Often, the good cops are also punished for the behavior of bad ones and that's unfair, so good on you for setting the segment up like this. We need to protect the good ones before the bad ones fire them or transfer them like the bullies that they are.
Completely agree, this needs to be a regular segment. It's been proven time and time again that merely yelling at people for doing shitty things doesn't help anyone, it just makes people angry on both sides. But these stories still need covering, so bookending them with a story of a cop doing something heroic adds a little "see, we don't just hate on cops, we hate on bad cops. Wouldn't you prefer to strive to be better?" whilst of course also providing well-deserved praise to the hero. Could be a great first step in reintroducing nuance to the cop conversation.
Counterpoint, it's not Phil's job to manage PR for cops. It's his job to cover news and people doing their job without being a jagoff is not newsworthy.
@@bandezablegoing above and beyond is noteworthy, too!
@terahwilliams2051 going above and beyond to run defense for cops? Lmao. They're all bastards. If you are a cop in a country with the highest incarcerated population, you're a monster.
I am diabetic and obese, and I've been on Ozempic since 2020. Honestly, my doctor just put me on it and told me how much to take weekly without mentioning the side effects or that it could help me lose weight. In fact, I only learned about its weight loss benefits when Phill started reporting on it.
I think there just needs to be so much more done to properly deal with obesity in health services aside from just "eat better and exercise and all your problems will go away". There are many reasons for obesity aside from what people think (laziness and gluttony).
Case in point, I'm also obese and went through my life with doctors telling me to just do sports and eat better. I tried and nothing worked, I thought it was all my fault and that I wasn't trying hard enough. It took until I was 25 to correctly be diagnosed with PCOS (a hormone condition that, among other symptoms, leads to uncontrolled weight gain). In combination with PCOS, I also had insulin resistance (pre-diabetes, often goes hand in hand with PCOS with one making the other worse).
While being treated for that, I still felt weak and without energy to do things and still gained weight. It then took until I was 30 years old until doctors finally checked my thyroids and found out I also have hypothyroidism.
So it took until I was 30 for doctors to find out I had 3 medical conditions that severely impact my weight and contribute to my obesity and up until then I got constantly shamed for being a lazy glutton. Now I'm finally receiving medication and slowly regaining some energy, but have to now struggle with carrying all that weight around. Had my doctors taken my issues seriously sooner and actually checked me for those issues before just blaming my lifestyle, a lot of this probably could have been avoided. I'm not one to cry fatshaming or fatphobia, but in the medical industry, it IS a huge problem.
I'm sorry your doctor didn't explain things to you properly, but I do hope that you can benefit from the use of the medication.
@@Windmelodie Thanks for sharing your personal story. The issues surrounding obesity extend to research as well as I'm sure you can imagine. In the video, Phil called obesity a cause of health issues; however, there is no research to suggest a casual relationship between higher body fat and health issues. What we do have would be a correlational relationship, and a rather weak one at that. You've probably heard this one already, but the correlational relationship between a man being bald and him having heart disease is actually far higher than that between an obese person and their development of heart disease. I don't see anyone jumping up to take the fight against America's male pattern baldness epidemic though, so we seem to have a double standard that is favored to view fat as a more valid metric of health. Fat and weight however are perhaps the most invalid, unreliable, and foolish ways to measure health, which in itself is a sticky concept, but maybe I'll discuss that in another comment so as to not go on a tangent.
When we have correlates, there is something we can learn still. Though it would be tremendously dishonest and unethical to claim a weak correlate as a causal interaction, (which is what doctors, the media, and even our boy Phil just did) this relationship can tell us about the world we live in and the potential extraneous variables which may be at play here. It is like we are capturing and observing the thing we want to observe, but the data tells us that we aren't looking at the right variable. This is when the question is asked, "what is the correct variable?"
My guess is stress. I don't know your life, but I do know that you shared 30 years of being told you were lazy, a glutton, and not being fully taken seriously by doctors because of their prejudice (not just a buzzword, literally meaning that they put judgment on you before taking into account the whole story). I can only imagine that this sentiment was echoed in other domains of your life, and I cannot imagine that was easy. That is stress, likely trauma too. Among all groups with statistically significant correlational data showing a relationship between their personal identifiers and a higher risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes, there are studies to suggest heightened stress as well. Some of this is common sense I think. Going bald is big change and bald men (women aren't studied nearly as much for this) report blows to their self esteem and in turn more stress. We already discussed the stress of being outcasted by society just for having a larger build, and then you can go down the list if you wish regarding the other populations with an increased correlate and risk with these diseases.
Stress has more going for it too, as studies have shown their own correlational relationships between stress and heart disease, higher cholesterol, and diabetes. (there is actually some causal data there too, but it isn't in humans). Weight and fat have also been shown to be increasingly dependent upon genetic factors, at least in a vacuum. The most recent development I saw demonstrated that 80% of a person's weight and fat allocation/abundance is determined by their genetics. This falls in line with the genetic predictors for the other relationships we observe, such as with baldness and skin color (adding this here because of the correlates between being a woman of color and having heart disease etc.) I would hope that doctors would not interpret this data to suggest that being a person of color or being bald is inherently unhealthy, but the same rule seems to not apply to weight/fat. Many in the body positive community actually refer to fatphobia as just a rebranded racism. While I am not too educated in the facts behind this, I can definitley see where they are coming from based on the aforementioned discrepancies in interpreting data.
Fat/weight shouldn't be a way that we measure health. Fat/weight also shouldn't be THE way we measure health. I can see the argument for it being a symptom of some underlying disease (such as your example with the three conditions); however, I would still exercise caution with not overdoing this approach either. I don't want to ramble too much as I already have, so I want to end with an analogy. Gasoline doesn't cause fires, it's just flammable. If firefighters and the general public thought that gasoline was the cause of all fires, we would probably be living in a much more dangerous and ignorant world.

Regarding gifts to public officials, as a Funeral Director in NYC, we deal with the City Ckerk office almost daily. Years ago, it wasn't uncommon to send the office a cookie plate or similar around the holidays. The city has made such a strong push to fight corruption that I couldn't give a cough drop to an employee that attended my wedding because it was in the clerk's office and on camera. That's how seriously gift giving is taken. To have decision makers able to be influenced by gifts is pure insanity and corruption.
The story about the cop saving the elderly couple’s lives hits close to home. my father is 70 with parkinson’s disease that is slowly just getting worse with time. just imagining him being in the same position as that older man almost brought me to tears. i hope any policeman would do the same for my father has he did for them. i’m not someone who particularly likes or agrees the current policing system but that cop - in my mind - is what the system needs more of: people who protect and serve, not arrest you for flipping them off, etc.

Regarding the Ozempic and Wegovy thing, both of my parents have been prescribed the stuff, and both of them decided they had to get off of it because all of a sudden there just wasn’t any to go around. But what I think is important is that neither of them saw a weight or obesity specialist before being given the drugs, when my mother stopped the drug she did find it easier to deal with constipation (though I believe there are other factors and not just this drug), and I actually think my mother is the same weight as I am now, but no one would ever suggest I need to use the drug because we look so vastly different. My mother has a naturally wider build than I do, and it absolutely shows in how differently we’ve been treated in the past.
Hearing the whole side effects and medicine story just makes me so damn grateful my dad is a pharmacist. I have an on-the-go specialist to consult about medicine.
He's recommended medicine to my family doc multiple times for me. So far only one of them didn't work out; and that's because the med just didn't vibe with my body.
"In the world of Jay Riggins be a Kevin" is absolute truth.
My entire experience with doctors has been them ignoring or minimizing my symptoms due to my weight or gender. Any problem is always met with "well it's caused by your weight". They never did any testing, brushed off my concerns, and shamed me for my body. I was a minor for many of these experiences and for most obese/overweight people in the US, it is what's expected. My partner had random meds thrown at him that ultimately worsened his blood pressure and caused him to gain significant weight over the span of a few years. We just want to be taken seriously by our health care providers and listened to when something isn't right.
I live in South Korea, which has very “relaxed” discrimination laws, as many foreigners might know here as they’ve maybe been unable to enter certain places because they are foreigners. Because of this there have been recent headlines dealing with age based rules businesses have put in place. It started with “no kid zones” and then I saw “no older people” zones, and recently a gym made headlines for “no Ajumma zones” which is a word for older women, and on the sign describing behaviors related to problems they generally have with ajummas to explain their rule. There is also the opposite seen in college areas, particularly with drinking places and clubs that don’t allow people over 30.

Kevin's story pumped me up SO much today. BAMF. Super BAMF.
YAY KEVIN!!! We need more stories of actual serve and protect!!
I just started taking ozempic a month ago. I work at a diabetes clinic, and I understand the shortage issues. But I'm morbidly obese (basically my whole life), and I've worked for over a year with 2 dieticians and a fitness instructor. I lost 20 lbs almost immediately, then stopped. It took a LOT for me to ask for prescription help because I already feel like a failure. The crazy thing is, I still haven't lost weight and it's been 5 weeks. But I just met with my PCP today and the dosage is getting adjusted. She asked me so many questions and made sure I wasn't experiencing side effects. And I STILL learned something from this episode...I didn't know I needed to increase my water intake. The whole situation is just....a lot. And scary. I can't imagine trying to navigate this without professional medical advice and monitoring.
Don’t see yourself as a failure, you’re working on better your health and doing so responsibly by following medical orientation. Hope your treatment continues to go well, keep yourself hydrated!

However, when I’ve brought these issues up to my nurse practitioner, she has always been super supportive. Giving me tips she saw on TikTok and heard from others.

My partner may actually have a fatty acid conversion disorder. They try fasting, have done a dozen diets, work out, starvation, everything, NOTHING works. They don't produce ketones :/ So they can't lose weight even st defecits in calories.

They have SO MANY medical issues being blown off despite having them since they were a non-obese child.....

I've experienced weight bias and I was only slightly overweight and it reinforced a hatred of doctors. This was back in October 2020. I tripped on a rabbit hole and fell, breaking my ankle. Went to the ER and the doctor was great. I get referred to the fracture clinic the next day and when I show up to the appointment my mom is pushing me in my sister's wheelchair (my sister has CRPS and her battle with doctors could be a novel). My sister had lent me her chair for my appointment because I was in so much pain and I lack upper body strength (I have since I was in middle school. I've been on crutches before and it did not end well). I'm talking to the doctor, explaining that I had broken my foot 4 years before and it wasn't found until 18 months after, and it took another 6 months in a cast for it to fully heal. He cuts me off tells me that my ankle won't heal because I am too fat. I try to explain that my sports injury specialist from university who treated my break before said I have issues healing because of my anemia. He continues to ignore what I am saying and asks what I ate for lunch that day. When I said leftover pizza because I was too sore to stand in the kitchen to cook anything and only my physically disabled sister and I were at home, he tells me that I need to cut carbs and eat more eggs otherwise my ankle won't heal. And that I need to exercise more and lose weight. I'M IN A FREAKING ANKLE BOOT HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO EXERCISE?! The next time I had to see him I went in on crutches (struggling might I add) and he was much nicer. But still went on about eating more eggs. As I said before, I was only slightly overweight at the time (who wasn't at that point in the lockdown. I was around a size 14 and I'm 5ft 2) but I was pretty physically active before lockdown. But Ontario locked down hard and at one point I had to carry a letter of employment around incase I got stopped by the cops on my way to work (I worked overnight at a hospital screening people coming into maternity) so obviously I couldn't go hiking or to the gym at the time. I moved to South Korea shortly after and they have a lot of stigma about weight, but the doctors there were actually much better at listening to me and not blaming everything on my weight. Canadian doctors suck (the poll mentioned doesn't surprise me at all).
I didn’t realize how wildly awful doctors act about fat people (like I knew it was bad but didn’t know what the alternative felt like) until I moved to China. Firstly it wasn’t until after my third appointment for an issue that actually could have been weight related, though it wasn’t, that I realized they hadn’t weighed me like doctors back home in Texas did each time. And whenever my weight was brought up, it was in direct connection to lab results or a potential risk, never “you’re fat so this won’t happen” or “you’re overweight so you’re definitely going to have these issues,” and it almost never comes up at all! It’s lovely.
My doctor told me to lose weight and walk more to feel better, when I went to ask about chronic fatigue… which was causing me to walk less.
I was a size 12 and am 6ft tall so it isn’t as noticeable when I’m a few pounds over. While we talked she looked at my chart and once she saw the weight she cut me off to mention exercise. It was literally the first time I felt I wasn’t being listened to by my doctor. It gave me a new perspective on how those overweight get treated that I hope I keep with me even once the extra weight is gone.
This has been my whole life. One even diagnosing me with high blood pressure medicine when I was stressed at the doctor’s office every time. I took the medicine for two days and could barely keep my eyes open, because guess what I didn’t have high blood pressure, I get stressed at the doctor’s office.
I also walked on a bad knee for 3 months after knocking my knee out of place. My doctor just saying it’s because I’m overweight. Well, they sent me to an orthopedic and we found out I had twisted and flipped my meniscus to one side of my knee and was walking bone on bone on the one side. My orthopedic was pissed that no one listened to me.
I feel they act like we don’t know our own bodies. It’s frustrating!
I know it was yesterdays story but it just baffles me how for decades now, horrible people are able to adopt a bunch of kids and do horrible things, yet time and time again I hear stories of people who WANT to adopt being denied for 3-5 years, being told they dont make enough, are a single parent, etc.
I have a former co-worker and their spouse who were denied because the required DNA test on their two shelter-adopted and very gentle dogs showed that one is something like 10% a "pitbull" breed. Literally, two K-12 teachers that can't have their own kids and their not allowed to adopt a child unless they rehome their beloved pet.
The cop that saved those people from the fire is amazing! Gave me goosebumps and made me tear up (:
As an obese Canadian who had to deal with the Canadian healthcare system all his life , i can say that only 1 of the several doctors i dealt with saw my obesity as a medical symptom instead of an attribute of the patient. and that doctor had the most success in administrating changes for me. the sentence that helped was : '' you HAVE fat , you ARE NOT fat.''
Canada and the US need more doctors like that!!
Wow that probably would have made a big change for me if my previous doctors said that when I was young. I’ve always hated the judgey looks they give you when they say weightloss
@@Jirangaaa indeed, too bad it took the better part of 3 decades to find that gem of a doctor
Please donate to your local animal rescue if you can. And if you can, adopt a dog or kitty.
So many need homes.
More than a decade of listening to Phil, where has the years gone
I don’t usually comment on videos, but watching your videos have been the one part of my day where I’m not stressed out and can just relax. It has really become part of my routine and I just wanted to thank you Phil; thank you for doing what you do. :)
The Cop News song reminds me of the silliness of sharktooth Phil and I'm all for it 😂
Oh shit, let us not forget about Shark Tooth Phil 🤣🤣
I have a coworker named Kevin and every time he meets another person named Kevin he tells them “hey, all Kevins are great people” and Officer Kevin is no exception ❤
The fuck is wrong with these cops? I saw a video a few days ago where a cop had arrested a woman saying it was because she performed an “improper lane change”. She had put her phone on the top of the car and they handcuffed her. She asked for her phone but they wouldn’t give it to her and put her in the patrol car. They didn’t know that her phone was still recording video and after the cops by her car turned their cams and mics off the phone caught them talking about it. The cop that pulled her over arrested her because she flipped him off. The saving factor here was that the cops SGT told him he can’t do that then you hear the cop ask if he needed to “unarrest her”. Like wtf.
I hope she sues and gets PAID.
There are 30 and up clubs in Houston. There's a HUGE difference in the environment.
Clubs and restaurants, surprisngly, encourage different environments.
@@chillin5703 I'm all for it.
Can we please get more of Phil doing jingles for each segment?
I’ve been chilling in the bathtub for 20 min waiting for this to drop.
I'm from Portugal and I always watch these daily dives into the news while I brush my teeth and get ready to go to bed.
Thanks for taking care of my dental hygiene Phil!
Just watching this episode today. Hearing Phil sound hopeful about the debate has me longing for simpler times
I'm with the Supreme Court on this decision. There should be justice for those monsters at Purdue
Families as rich as those will delay any lawsuit until they lay in their grave
