Zach Kornfeld of The Try Guys shares his experiences with the US healthcare system, chronic pain, and a treadmill accident. The podcast touches on medical terms, skepticism, unconventional treatments, building a community, effects of high-sodium foods, and movie favorites.

Reality TV star and social media personality, Harry Jowsey, discusses his experiences on reality shows, dating in fictional environments, debunking health hacks, boxing desires, therapy benefits, fame challenges, testosterone replacement therapy risks, and the importance of support systems for mental health.

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

Watch the full video interview here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/RyanMarinoVOD Dr. Ryan Marino is an Emergency Rom Toxicologist. That gives him unique insight into one of America's most complicated topics: drug overdoses.

We also touched on the viral instances of police officers falling victim to fentanyl "overdoses" and whether or not those cases are actually real. This was a juicy interview about a fascinating and complex subject matter, so I'd love to read your nuanced takes down in the comments!

Watch the full video interview with Dr. Ed Hope here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/EdHope Ed Hope is an emergency room physician in the UK and a popular YouTube creator who specializes in reaction videos to medical drama and medical memes. Funny enough... so do I. That was the source of some YouTube "beef" that emerged between us a few years ago. Ed made his way to NYC to come on The Checkup so we could hash things out between us and finally lay the issue to rest. We also debated the differences between the US and the UK healthcare system, and which specialty is better: EM or FM.
