That women saying "but they died first" me made genuinely burst out laughing
Lady has survived solely on Dr. Pepper and sass
me too man i literally laughed so damn loud shes such a mood
She took trusting your Doctor to a different level.
I guess the secret of longevity is spite.
"I'm going to keep on living, just to mess with you."
I remember laughing then and now😂 what a spirited lady
If I live to be over 100 years old I'm going to tell people something ridiculous like, "I eat a fresh pine cone everyday and I never poop on Sundays."
😂😂
slay
Don't you dare poop on the Lord's Day! 😆😊
@@msaijay1153that's crazy poop any day or time you need too
lmaooo
My husband's Nana lived to be 101. She had lost her vision and walked well with a walker. Covid got her... She never caught the virus it was the lock down. She wasn't allowed to leave her room so no more socializing with the other residents. She couldn't see and was so lonely she simply gave up.
Aw, that’s so sad 😢
My great grandma was 106 when she died.
yup they killed a lot of people with their mass psychosis!
Back to another round of BS stories
@@JohnLasseter-ct5in You didn't like it so it's BS. Very smart.
I feel like “bake bread” is equal to “chop wood, carry water.” Do things every day that keep you active and support quality of life. I’ve worked for a few centenarians and I’m convinced that the key to living that long is making the choice to show up to life. Most of us will still get taken out sooner, but I have never met a centenarian who didn’t have command of their quality of life.
*Andrew Tate voice* BREATHE AIR.
woahhh
Jesus this person is centenarian years old! I don't even know how old that is!
@@Crocoroar not "centenarian years old", centenarian is a person that is over 100 years old
the dr pepper lady saying "two doctors told me 'if you keep drinking this youll die' but they died first" will always make me laugh so hard
You YNt hoping Nestor grandma 👵 🙏 the medal and her husband will have the
It was a funny comment but I have a hard time believing that not one but two doctors said Dr. Pepper would make her die. I can't a doctor saying something like that unless a person is drinking a case a day. 😛
@@zsuzsuspetalsI doubt they said it would literally kill her from the soda, but can certainly see them saying it could cause health issues with her blood sugar, her kidneys, or her heart that could cause or contribute to her death
I believe the Dr. Pepper helped as in that was at least extra calories that she wouldn't be getting otherwise. One thing I am scared of happening which is inevitable is the digestive system shutting down. As people get older they stop consuming as much food because they don't feel hungry and I believe that leads to them getting weaker. Dr. Pepper is at least an easy form of caloric intake. It might not be the best choice but at least it's something.@@DasUhMAZIN
I’ve heard old people seriously say that the only reason they are still alive is because of all the preservatives they eat lol
My job has me talking to elderly people every day. I love meeting people in their 90s and a few were over 100. The one consistent thing I've seen is they are stubborn. They want to keep doing the things that bring them joy and won't let age get in the way. Guy loses the use of his legs and at 95 I watched him transfer himself from chair to wheelchair on his own better than most middle aged people.
All well and good. Thing is their adamant advice and even admonishing evidence based medicine because something works for them is nuts. I'm not about to trust a woman who drinks 3 doctor peppers a day with any medical advice. She got lucky.
100 year old I met say key to long life is not whining.
She sadly didn't live to 101
@@THErealOGse my comment had nothing to do with that. It was just a mindset common to them. A lot of the ones I talked to credited not smoking or drinking, having a healthy diet, or regular light exercise for their long lives. Totally reasonable things.
I am supper stubborn! I want to keep going out with 29 years olds even though I am 70.
4:17 I love how Doctor Mike slows down the the commotion on how rushed People think abt certain foods with wrong connotation already like high sugar fat. Yes, the intake and the carb reqment is really important to consider if food is bad or not. I just believe in the fact that control is important with ur intake like carb reqment or daily activities.💪💪💪😍😍😍🥰😘
More power to Doctor Mike for addtio Addtl info and very understandable relatable med advice like this... Oh love you so xoxo much💋💋💋💌❤️❤️❤️
My grandma is currently 102, about to turn 103. At 100 she moved across the country for the first time ever to come live with my mom, but lived on her own till 98. Crazy stuff.
oh my goodness..
My husband grandmother is 96, 6-7 years ago her cat died and she was living alone. She hated that. I foster cats and I had this one cat I knew she was meant for her. I’ve never felt so strongly about someone needing a certain cat. So I kept her until she was out of the kitten stage (she didn’t want all that kitten craziness) and when she was ready I brought it to her. It changed her life, she was excited to be home with her and her kitty. She just moved into a retirement community because she didn’t want to cook for herself anymore, but she still has her kitty with her. If she couldn’t have brought her she wasn’t going. Those two are wonderful and having a ball in their new home. Her kitty always has a home with us if and when the time comes.
Sorry it’s so long I can talk forever about how amazing this woman is.
My grandmother died at 98. She was a burger eating, bbq, Dr. Pepper drinking Texan till she dropped. I think the key is straight up just being happy and loving self.
She made it 98 that’s all I want . Well I don’t want to be a nursing home for 20 years either .. alert & oriented , using my own body to move around my home is the key ! I know people who lived till 100 but the last 20 years were straight miserable .. pass on that
the key is to read science and ur granny aint science but happy she lived gud life
Vast majority of people who live long just eat whatever tf they want. Depriving yourself of what you want shortens your life. You want donuts? Eat donuts. You want coke? Drink coke. Pizza? Eat pizza. Just don’t overconsume and you should be fine. I’ve been eating “junk food” all my life and I’m perfectly healthy. A lot of it is just genetics.
@@DivinesLegacy source: trust me bro
@@dimitrisskar4174 the obesity rate is skyrocketing sources don’t matter because clearly they would all be wrong. You can’t lose weight unless you’re happy. And nobody is happy eating kale and other boring whole foods. I’m not claiming to have the answer, I’m just telling people that you can eat whatever food you want and not die or be unhealthy because of it, as was stated on one of dr Mike’s videos, there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with junk food. The problem is that they are just really good, that being said if you don’t overconsume them then you should be fine.
That Dr. Pepper lady definitely showed up to those two doctors' funerals smugly drinking a Dr. Pepper!
That would honestly be one of the biggest flexes you can have in life
😂
This is the level of petty I aspire to be...😂🤣😂🤣
damn so you wanna be as attractive as an over 100 year old granny?? life must be tough for you lol @@oscah_whisky

My grandmas aunt, Helen Sandvig, from Fargo ND was 112 years young when she passed a few years ago. I remember a few years before that, I was at a family reunion. I was sitting next to her when she slipped off the back of the picnic bench. I jumped up to help but she had already hopped up on her feet and was saying "it's ok" , "I'm fine". She was an amazing person.
i looked her up, sounds like a nice women, Sorry for your loss. Quick question it says she passed 2023. Is that correct because you said she passed a few years ago.
@@nylabanana1945Jesus is coming back. Believe He died for your sins and rose again then repent to be saved.For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God [acknowledge Him to His honor and to His praise].
Genetics are huge. My grandmother was one of six children. One had a heart attack at 75; the other 5 all lived to be over 97 and two lived to be over 100. Their mother was 97 when she died. Their spouses and children also mostly lived into their 90’s with the exception of cancer. No dementia No strict dietary things that I know of.
I will say this, my grandmother put butter on everything. She put it on ham sandwiches. She even put it on cake. She would butter her cake like other people butter bread. Very healthy until her heart wore out. Extremely sharp mentally. She died at 99
That's what I'm thinking. If someone hits the 100 mark, they won the genetic jackpot. Their bodies are predestined to handle recreational drugs and junk food better than the most of us.
@@sameaston9587and I’d say if you win that lottery and on top of that being healthy about your life you could break a record
I've had relatives live in their 80's and 90's. But it seriously depends on your lifestyle as well.
mmmm butter on everything. now thats the way to live life😂
Exactly I’m a vegan. But, dude, it’s not gonna make you a centenarian.
My great grandmother had breast cancer in her 70s. She got a double mastectomy and they got all the cancer. She continued to live her life, going on cruises and trips with her friends, got her license renewed at 95. She moved from Washington State to Oklahoma in 2013 when my dad was sick and he was 99. He turned 100 on January 3rd and died on June 30th 2014. She lived a full happy life.
That’s absolutely wonderful! She sounds like an incredible lady 😊. I am a bit confused though, if I’m reading it correctly your father died in 2014 at 100? How old was your great grandmother when she passed?
(Or I’m getting this all wrong and it was your great grandmother who passed at 100.) Either way, I’m sorry for your losses but so very very happy that you got to enjoy life with them in it 💜 and that they got to enjoy long happy lives with you in theirs.
What did she eventually die from?
@@suomynonaanonymous old age
@@MeganKugsid guess they meant to say she because their dad cannot be about the same age as their great grandmother lol
My grandma is 97, still going. Her secret? Take walks, keeps busy by cleaning, cooking, and reading, eats well... you know... common sense stuff... She does drink one glass of wine each night with dinner, but I highly doubt she'd say it's her secret. She along with everyone else in the family are certain it's because she keeps active physically and mentally.
She still volunteers at local resale shops too.

My great grandfather just passed away in October, he was 98 and still drove, did wood working and carpentry, and still came on adventures ❤ I miss him so dang much, he was truly the kindest and most loving man ive ever known. He survived having 12 kids, and i dont even know how many grand,great grand, and great great grandkids he has! Im so proud to be one of his great grand babies ❤ I pray to God that i will follow in Ma's footsteps and marry someone as amazing as him, and that we have at least 12 kids (I'm hoping for 14) and that we have the longest, most beautiful lives together ❤ I love you Pa, rest in peace with Ma❤
@@user-rx162 I'm taking this as a compliment, so thank you 🥰
I work with a 98 year old WW2 veteran named Carl who's turning 99 in April. He comes in once a week to help clean up and hang out but it's mainly to help stay active which he says helps. He's an amazing man whom I respect whole heartedly.
I salute Carl 🫡
Did he invade a foreign country? He had no right.
@@PROVOCATEURSK most of the "foreign countries" the US "invaded" in WWII were being occupied by invaders and wanted us to be there. Belgium, France, Phillipines, China, Burma, etc, etc. The local population was being brutalized. Ask the people in Nanking and Antwerp if they wanted us to stay out of their country. I realize you are just trolling, but in the slim chance you are serious, you need to actually read a book.
Advanced Happy 99th Birthday to him !!
I work in a retire home and there a two men who are turning 105 this year. One of them still get himself ready in the mornings. It takes him time but he still can. His mind is still good, the only thing he has is bad eyesight and bad hearing.
"But they died first" I'm DYING
My father is a neurosurgeon and I always love listening to his stories as a middle schooler interested in becoming a doctor. He's told me that he's once operated on a man that was 102 yrs old!! He lived unsurprisingly knowing how awesome my dad is.
I was in Dollarama (A dollar store) a few months ago and there was a little old lady in line in front of me. I heard the woman she was with say "Grandma, you're 103 sit down,"
She replied with "My stuff is sitting there! What do you expect me to do? I don't need to." In response to her walker thing she had (That she honestly didn't need)
Hearing this I say, "Excuse me Ma'am. I couldn't help overhear, you're 103?"
"Yes young man I am!"
"I swear you don't look a day older than, I don't mean to be rude here but, 70." (I was super truthful here)
"Why thank you young man. I'm still kicking and will be for a long while!"
103, didn't look older than 70, and was telling off her Granddaughter.
For some reason, once your hair turns gray, people start talking to you like a little child. I think it makes people grumpy.
You aren't the judge on if she really needs her walking aid or not.
Do you mean a wheeled walker or something else?
I'm only 32 and need a wheeled walker.
@@thelegioncollective I say that because I saw her and her granddaughter in the mall (Dollarama is in the mall) 15 minutes later and was walking perfectly fine without it.
Now you got my curiosity, I wish I could see her cause now I'm curious as to how good she looked 😳
@@gimygaming8655 Have you ever seen Grandma Shirley aka Skyrim Grandma? Fairly similar to her.
12:08 Correlation is not causation. People with good social lives who also drink live longer. It was discovered that the being social was the cause, not the drinking. Even though both factors were present in this set of people who live longer, the drinking was correlated and not causal with longevity.
Yep, Senior Citizens who eat Dodger Dogs at Dodger Stadium are healthier than people who don't eat Dodger Dogs.
Moreover, Europe has better health care.
Currently going through a psychology class in college and this is said perfectly!
I don't drink. Never have. I've had a few people tell me, "But you should. Wine is good for your health."
@@laurao3274 Heard the same thing but a little bit of research and boom.
I had a patient once who was 105 came in with a hip fracture, she had an orif and ended up dying a few weeks later because her body couldn't handle it BUT she came in with it no medical history, only home med was prn tylenol , was mobile didn't use a cane or walker (lost her footing and fell down stairs), overall so incredible. As a nurse I've seen a lot of people in or around 100, I will say quantity isn't worth it if quality isn't there, and the majority don't have that quality but science is still keeping them alive. The ones that are that old though and still doing great it's incredible, I always ask them what they did and they almost all say they always stayed active and kept moving in their daily life
@Doctor Mike I would love to see a video breaking down stigmas about chronically ill people-especially for the young. I’ve been chronically ill for so long that I often joke with people that “I’ve been feeling fifty since I was fifteen!” I’m sure I speak for many when I say some discussion around this group of people would be really educational and super appreciated.
Loise Signore (107) has the best comment... "never marry"... we need good ppl, not toxic ppl... perfect for valentines day !❤!
The reality is that the human body and its health are extremely complex due to countless variables, some of which I'm sure we don't even know about yet. That Dr.Pepper lady lived to 104 drinking lots of soda and that smoker lived to 107, there's no secret. They're just lucky. The variables happened to line up in their favor despite those bad habits. To make an analogy, it's like if one person gambles with every penny they have and they win and get rich, that doesn't mean that gambling with every penny you have is a smart or financially sound thing to do. It just means that person got lucky.
Yeah sometimes you just have good genes that help you live longer even if you have bad habits, sometimes you’ll have bad genes for longevity where having bad habits might not make you live longer
Good genes for sure. I also think they likely have some extremely healthy habits along with the "bad." For example, the Dr. Pepper lady may get her only sugar from Dr. Pepper and consume minimal fat as well.
Yeah there are countless things that can cause a person to die naturally when it comes to genetics and cells. As we get older our cells deteriorate and aren't able to replicate themselves as well as when we are young that can lead to many issues since we have to replace our cells with new ones periodically and if they don't copy the genetics properly can cause mutations, which can lead to so many things. If that happens with stomach cells for example you can be in a heap of trouble since your stomach is continually burning up your cells and replacing them since that's what stomach acid does.
Not lucky so much in the normal sense, but in the genes you inherited.
Someone once told me a good diet doesn't consist of what you take away, it's what you add. If you want a cookie, have a cookie but consider adding some veggies or grains as well, so you're still getting what you want but you have more to fill you up and balance the snack
My great grandmother outlived my grandmother. Almost everyone in my fam lived till 90 or more
Hello, Dr. Mike. I just want to say I have been watching your videos for years. You are partly responsible for my interest in the medical field. Thank you for passing your knowledge to the masses.
Hes amazing 🤩
I just love his advise too. I'm newer to his channel myself.
Omg the Dr Pepper lady! “They all died first” 😂😂😂
Thanks for your honesty and integrity. These are characteristics that can be hard to find on social media. I appreciate your even handed approach to the subjects you address.
Thanks for making this video. I’m a social worker in a nursing home, and I loved what you said about a person having quality of life in older age. That’s absolutely true! Their quality of life in their older adult years is so important, even when their current lifestyle may not be the healthiest. They are in their last chapter of their life, and are looking for the little joys in everyday.Thank you for doing a video about the older adult population. ❤
My Dad loved his weekend dessert of cake and custard. He had it with brandy every Friday evening. It made him really happy. We just left him to it and his doctor said leave the man alone, he’s doing it in moderation, his overall health is good and we want him to stay as happy as he can be.
They all have a great sense of humor, they know themselves, and do what they love.
Very smart to say overindulging in some of the habits they have may not be healthy.
JESUS AND GOD LOVES EVERYONE SO MUCH TURN TO THEM BEFORE ITS TO LATE
I appreciate how you deal with these things like a real conversation! People forget how to have conversations
This is why I love dr Mike! He tells you the risks but he lets you make the decision. Like, "yes this is bad for you physically, but if it makes you feel better mentally, go for it, in moderation." ❤
That first one about cancer annoyed me tbh, my dad just lost his 10 year fight with cancer, so those type of claims are so hurtful and dangerous..
😂😂😂😂 watching Mike come for an old lady for Scrabble 😂😂😂 gave me life lol
AND THE DUST 😂
@@toomanykatsu 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥱🥱
That dr pepper lady is kept alive by spite alone and I aspire to be just like her 😂
I like how you said you don’t want to take away that joy. I think we need more doctors like that. My old doctor retired and I will never forget her telling me to always tell her when a medication or lifestyle change is taking away my fun
My fave health advice from an old person was from Stan Lee. When asked how he make it to his 90s he simply responded with. "You've ever hear of luck?"
As a comic book fan he was awesome
Rip Excelsior Stanley Lieber ❤
Seems like many people who live long also don't seem to have financial worries, they have access to healthcare and/or support/community and usually live in a good area/climate. Less stress gives you a better chance at a longer life!
I'm so glad that you pointed out that we can't just take certain studies and base our facts on but all of the studies because studies can be biased. Great information.
It's a great reminder that correlation does not always equal causation and highlights the need for evidence-based advice. Thanks for the informative breakdown!
I have a resident where I work who is 107 still walking talking she’s still all there greatest woman I’ve ever seen love her so much❤❤
Your video really struck a chord, Dr. Mike! Listening to the centenarians' advice reminded me of my incredible aunt who's in her 80s. Despite facing breast cancer, raising three kids as a single parent, and enduring a serious accident, she's still going strong with an unwavering willpower. Her resilience teaches us that it's not just about living clean but also about overcoming challenges and adapting to life's curveballs. Thanks for sparking this reflection!
I quit smoking in 2007 at age 42. One thought that helped me was telling myself that it doesn't have to be forever. If I really still want to, on my 75th birthday I give myself permission to light one up. If I do live to be 75, I might consider pushing it back to 80 or 85. As long as I'm telling myself maybe someday I can, I find it easier not to.
You know what I'm seeing? Each one of them is doing what brings them joy and happiness ❤ I think that's they key to a longer life
I'm in a dr mike hole because I'm sick and he just posted - he can tell I needed a new video! thanks for being some common sense on the internet!
But the interesting thing is all the young deaths I heard about personally is of people who were never had any bad habits like alcohol or smoking etc.. it might be a cruel joke from destiny... But I believe living happy no matter what you do is the key. Your mental health plays a big role overall
I think some people just gave luckier genetics. Maybe the younger people that died were unknowingly exposed to some kind of carcinogen. I think some people are just luckier than others. Life isn’t fair. Just got to not take anything for granted and play the hand we are dealt.
My grandma was 96 when she passed. She was clear headed and happy until the very end.
She didnt eat super healthy and smoked and drinked for 30+ years. What I think was the longevity factor was in part good genes but also a joy for life and loving those around her.
I miss that woman so much, she was the best person I ever knew.
I wish she could see how far I got today. She would be proud ❤
I love that you said you wouldnt encourage something that a patient isnt ready or interested in changing. The "why" has to be strong enough to quit or it wont happen❤
Care home I work we have 105 year old man. He still exercises however he can and since losing his sight audiobooks have kept his mind fresh. one of my feel good moments was setting up an alexa for him, melts my heart everytime I hear him ask it some random question about science or nature. Exercise, good diet, lifelong learning and healthy relationships, all with some luck in genetics and a hundred is nothing.
A hundred is very old
I have been diagnosed with IBS by my doctor because all my test reports came back normal but I'm experiencing diarrhoea, constipation, etc. after eating sometimes. I had to stop eating some of my favorite food due to it. I avoid milk products, wheat, corn and all. I wasn't ready for a food habit change but it hit me. It was hard to believe that I got a chronic disease at first because they thought I had Amoebiasis. But seeing this video gave me hope
Reciently in my country, Greece, a woman claiming by her relatives to be 118 years old broke her hip. -- although her doctors had to accept that her age was 113 years old according some kind of documentation- I should add that accurate birth documentation in Greece were rare so many years ago . Her operation went great according to her doctors with no complications. Another ''sweet '' story that made the news.
Dr. Mike's analysis of this subject is awesome! I enjoy him cheering on the older people having fun, even if it might not be ideal for the health while simultaneously reminding us that anecdotal evidence should not be accepted as recommendation without thorough research. I don't worry about being anxious the rest of the day after watching his health content. I feel more informed and entertained :)

Ooohh I like that subtle smoke effect! 7:36 nice job editor!!
Honestly, a century of misery is worse than half the time in good passing.
Also, activities like dancing and such, they’re solid exercise to keep musculature up, very important in elderly years. I wonder how many osteo issues are caused by the lack of shock absorption due to muscular atrophy?
Love this video! Love your channel, and all the truth you speak into the world! Keep up the good work my man!
Dr. Mike - you are amazing with your reasonable approach!
Not demonising anything, yet calling out cleanliness of older person😂
Stay happy and healthy 😊
Vitamins DO have a purpose. There are some vitamins that my body does not absorb well despite me eating an excellent diet. My doctor told me to take vitamins and I increased how much I took until my blood tests showed the correct amounts and I felt better.
If you have a deficit that is different. In the 90’s everyone believe they wouldn’t get sick and live a better life if they took some vitamins everyday which is simply not true
Yeah, I have Celiac and so can't absorb vitamins well. I have to take more then the recommended dose, and sometimes I'm still short.
Dr. mike is what I needed right now. Thanks ❤ love you
First time seeing this video, and channel. Refreshingly honest, balanced, researched, and entertaining. Glad the algorithm gods put it in my feed. Gonna go down a rabbit hole binge watch now, much thanks!
Really interesting and insightful video Mike! I especially love when you take the time to point out common biases, reducing bias in your own thinking is very important imo.
That guy at 8:14 looks so young! He doesn’t look a day older than 60! Barely any wrinklrs aswell! Wow!!
fr! if i saw him outside somewhere i would have never guessed he’s 110, he looks so good for that age!
Around 6:30 in this video: there's a thing I heard watching "The West Wing" that when someone was told to stop smoking because they'll live longer. The response was will I live longer, or will it just feel longer? Just like Dr. Mike says here, saying "yeah, you should consider stopping" is good medical practice/advice, but not making a fight out of it is a damn good approach.
I wish this wonderful human being was primary healthcare physician, never met such a passionate person who loves and cares for his patients with such honesty 🤙🏻❤️
7:35 appreciate the detail in the detail man. The puff of secind hand soke with the man puffing the cigar smoke. Chefs kiss** you can see how much fun the editor is having..
One of the square dancers lived until she was 106 years old and I got photos of her still square dancing at 101 years. On her 100 birthday, her drivers was renewed. The square dancers had a birthday party for her and it was the Health Minister for Nova Scotia who attended the party was the one that told us.
I used to know a woman who was 110. My dad used to cut her hair. She was always happy and bossing my dad around when he would wash and cut her hair. She was in a nursing home but she was a wonderful woman. She passed away a few years ago. I will never forget her, though.
That’s such a sweet memory! I’m sure she’d have been glad to know that she made such a positive impact on someone’s life (:
My great grandmother was 101 when she passed I remember going to her 100th birthday I just thought it was mad seeing 100 on a birthday sign and there was relatives there and I remember one of my cousins just a newborn at the time, I remember we took a picture of her holding the baby 100 years apart it was a nice day, love u GG ❤️
DR. MIKE! Please do a video asap on how those of us with ADHD can survive and cope with the ADHD medication shortage. I’m almost out of my medicines and I’m really nervous!! We could use your expertise and advice!!
I'm glad to see you posting again! I missed ya!
Great video Dr Mike you a 1000% Dr this world needs. ❤❤
My great grandma lived to be 102. She was amazing from what little time I got with her. She died when I was 8. I got to see her everyday before school. Her go to answer when she was asked how or what she's doing was "oh just waiting for the lord to take me" and she'd giggle with her rosary in her had. She baked cookies til the end. Applesauce cookies still make my day.
I was diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri and I can't imagine living so long. Its been very hard 😢 kudos to the people who stay strong for so long!!! 💪
Hi Doctor Mike, you are looking very well! As we say here in Ireland, “Everything in moderation, including moderation!” And this lady drinking three Dr.Peppers every day isn’t exactly excessive, thirty three yes! I love your videos and having been in the medical field myself I can really appreciate your content! Keep up your good work Doc!👍🏻🤩🙏🏻❤️! Px
Please do a video on Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST)
My roommate has is. She had a stroke over a year ago and is still having severe symptoms but her doctor doesn't listen or really know how to treat her. I would love to know your insight on it. I know it's very rare but it's very hard to live with for people who have it. Thank you, doctor mike!
@ 1:30 thank you dr for specifying most. Its important to acknowledge that no two bodies are the same so there will never be a one sixe fits all thing when it comes to our health. At best we can speak in broad generalites like most people do better with a varied diet high in whole foods. About the one thing that is always true is drinking water when you are thirsty and getting adequate sleep so you are not tired throughout the day is good for everyone.
my great grandma lived to be 102 or 105, still living on her own. i was pretty young so i didnt think of it, but it would have been facinating to hear her stories.
Smoking and dr. pepper oldies just tell me living long is 90% genetics/luck
9:47 "Be happy with what you can control, and then live comfortably uncomfortable with all the other things that are outside of your control" I'm not sure if that "comfortably uncomfortable" balance is always achievable, though (especially when things out of your control get too chaotic, like with cancer) 🤔
My great grandma is 90 years old and drinks 3+ Miller Lites a day. My great grandpa was an 80+ year smoker and died at 97. Another great grandma of mine died at 96. I’ve been immensely blessed
God I love Dr. Mike. Always has such well-rounded and informative takes on these things. In a world of crash diets, scamfluencers, and extreme "all or nothing" attitudes, we need more Dr Mikes.
Id love to see more of this type of video!!
iam soo addicted to this channel😊i watch dr mike 24/7😅
Love the material as always. I’d love for you to maybe make a video or at least get to know about professor Eugeniusz Murawski, a very accomplished polish children surgeon, who retired last year from surgery at the age of 96 (!!!), but still continues his academic career. Incredible man, incredible story, really worth reading up on
I'm now watching your videos for the while afternoon while im at home with a flu, and im really entertained and can still learn alot. Keep that on! bewoop!
MY BOY IS BACK
Yep
Richard Overton will always be one of my favorites. Up to 12 cigars and plenty of hhhwhiskey every day 😂
As usual, I really enjoyed this posting. You always make sense. Thank you!
So glad to hear your advice on not changing habits! Taking away a "bad habit" is such a bad idea on several levels
My great grandmother is 104, 105 in march!
My grandparents are 89 and 90 and my great grandparents have passed away my great grand dad was murdered in 1985
@@MelB868sorry about that but such a happy comment and then the reply is so dark
Doctor Mike coming in clutch when I’m bored ❤❤
My grandma has been smoking for nearly 70 years and her doctor approaches it the same way you mentioned with the 109 year old smoker. They avoid that fight to maintain a great healthcare relationship and my grandma listens to him for everything else.
Hey Dr Mike! I was diagnosed with functional neurological disorder last year and it has greatly impacted my life. I'd love to see you do a video on FND!
6:24 to add insult to injury lighting the cigar over open flame wearing loose clothing😅
I've worked in senior care (senior's care facility and homecare) and from what I've noticed, there's no pattern between longevity and external habits. The pattern I did notice was mindset. Keeping a positive mindset and a sense of humour despite many challenges.
Nah. No science to prove that. And it's victim-blaming as well
@@badguitar5653 who cares. I'm just saying what I've noticed with the hundreds of seniors I've cared for over the years.
@@coolbreeze5683 Survivorship bias, confirmation bias, whole bunch of biases going on there
@@badguitar5653 as I said in my last comment, who cares. I'm speaking from my own experiences.
An experience doesn't have to be proven by science. Touch grass.
When I worked in a retirement/assisted living facility where the average age was at least 85-90. I'll never forget that one of our OLDEST residents while I was there was over 100, and more active than residents a good decade or two younger than her and refusing to slow down. She didn't 'look' or 'act' any older than 80. It's been a few years since I worked there, I hope she's still doing well.
Sadly, it was always easy to tell when someone was going downhill. Sometimes they'd stabilize, but once the decline started. . .it was usually pretty quick.
My great-great-grandmother lived to be 104 years old.
Her daughter (my great-grandmother) is currently 103 years old and still going.
