Watch the full video interview here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/GrahamStep Graham Stephan is a real estate and finance guru who has built an audience of millions of people looking to improve their financial situation through smart investing and money management. A man like Graham who is so savvy with his money must also be savvy with his health, right? Well, not necessarily, as he and I uncovered some unhealthy behaviors that has followed him for years. Because of some heavy sun exposure, Graham has Atypical Mole Syndrome, a condition he initially believed to be skin cancer. He's also allowed his dedication to smart money management have a negative impact on many of his personal relationships, something that has impacted his mental health and caused him to reevaluate his life priorities. There's a ton of value in this conversation for people who are just starting their investing journey, or want to hear some of the road stories of someone who has explored a countless number of investment opportunities, with mixed results. Oh, we also talked about his Creator Clash boxing match with Michael Reeves ;) Follow Graham here: YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/grahamstephan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gpstephan/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/GrahamStephan Listen to Graham's podcast "The Iced Coffee Hour" here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheIcedCoffeeHour Executive Producer and Host: Dr. Mike Varshavski Produced by Dan Owens and Sam Bowers Art by Caroline Weigum CONTACT: DoctorMikeMedia@gmail.com

Watch the full interview with Hannah Brown on YouTube here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/Hanah Hannah Brown is an anomaly. She began her life competing and often winning in beauty pageants across the southern United States. Then she was a contestant on the Bachelor. Then she was THE Bachelorette. Then she WON Dancing with the Stars. And just last week she WON Special Forces: World's Tough Test, on Fox, where she outlasted professional athletes like Dwight Howard in US Special Forces training. But like... how? I had to know how this beauty pageant queen has become unstoppable in the world of reality tv. What inside allows her to keep winning? How is it possible she can helicopter in to rigorous environments like a dancing contest or the military and defeat everyone in her path? What's especially impressive is that Hannah keeps winning these shows despite a countless number of health problems, from IBS to asthma, and yet she doesn't have a primary care physician to help mitigate these issues.

Watch the full interview with KSI on YouTube here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/KSIVodcast KSI is one of the most prolific creators the internet has ever seen. If boasting a YouTube channel with over 20 million subscribers wasn't enough, he's also a member of The Sidemen, a pioneer of the YouTube boxing phenomenon, a musician, a restauranteur, and the face of Prime, the most popular drink on Earth. JJ Olantunji, as he's known on his birth certificate, is involved in so many things it was really difficult to try and narrow the discussion. Fortunately, he wasn't shy and shared a lot of interesting things with me, such as the process of writing his new song "Voices" with Oliver Tree, the caliber of his Misfits Boxing events, and the 1 woman in his life he's managed to keep hidden from the world. I'm so grateful to JJ for taking the time to visit me in NYC on the heels of an exhausting promotional tour, and hopefully this is the first of many long chats with my new friend... and future boxing opponent??

I invited them on the show to discuss some issues that have been on my mind lately, especially surrounding the way medical experts have been communicating with each other on social media. We talked about that toxicity as well as shaming people for how they've responded to the pandemic, treating inflammation with cold plunges, and whether or not doctors are actually scientists.

This line from one of Steven's videos hit a meteoric viral rise in the summer of 2022, but unlike many viral stars who are a flash in the pan, Steven was ready. His years of hustling as a working actor and content creator allowed him to run with his success and build a rapidly growing audience of people who enjoy his "Off Brand" TikToks or YouTube shorts about his most popular character known only as "Asian Dad". Steven has big plans for the future with the impending release of his original series "Ginormo" and a seemingly never-ending waterfall of fresh content across social media. We talked about his health, specifically the recent surgery he had on a cyst above his eye he believes was caused by stress. We also shared stories of our immigration backgrounds. Steven was born in China, raised in Ireland, and then went to college in the UK and studied acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in NYC, so we actually have a lot on common.

Watch the full interview on YouTube here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/AJRVOD Anjelah Johnson-Reyes is a stand up comedian you know from Mad TV and her early YouTube virality for her impression of a day at the nail salon. I was exited to sit down with her an discuss her health, her comedic style, and her relationship with doctors, which turns out to be pretty complicated. Like many out there, Anjelah has not had the best success when visiting traditional doctors to treat her ailments, and as such she has grown a little wary of their advice. I recognize there are plenty of doctors out there who don't put their relationship with a patient first, so I wanted to work with Anjelah on battling some of this doctor stigma and see if we could get her to come around on some traditional medicine. I was so happy with this discussion and think Anjelah is a total rock star! Let me know down below if you'd had issues with traditional doctors in the past and if you have any questions I can answer to clear things up for you.

Now retired, he's building a sports media and fitness empire with his brand's "I Am Athlete" and "House of Athlete" which seeks to provide the elite sports, fitness, and recovery resources professional athletes have to the average person. Brandon is known for being outspoken and honest, so I was eager to get the inside scoop on how injuries are treated in the NFL, how wide-spread painkillers are before games, and whether or not Terrell Owens should be playing football at 49 years old. I had so much fun with Brandon and really appreciate his insight into the most popular sport in America!

He just released a new special on Netflix called "Is It Me?" which nearly knocked me on the floor I thought it was so funny. I invited Sebastian onto the pod to discuss his sciatic pain shooting down his leg. He's been on the road for 19 months and the pain is apparently getting bad, so we dove in deep to discuss it's cause and potential treatments. We also discussed fatherhood, how he felt being on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld, the rise of illness in our kids' schools, and toxic masculinity.

Boasting over 16 million subscribers, Marques prides himself on having the most cutting edge and high-quality tech videos on the internet.

When Marques isn't producing tech content out of his studio in New Jersey, he actually plays professional frisbee. I not only asked him about his thoughts on all things tech (wearables, crypto, his own line of products, etc.) but his personal life as well. I wanted to "unbox" Marques myself to see what makes him tick.

Everyone knows him as one of the faces of Jackass, but what most people don't know is that Steve-O is more than just a stunt man known for falling down stairs in a bellhop cart or lighting himself on fire. In this two-hour interview, I feel like I really spoke to the actual human being, Stephen Glover, and not the extreme stunt-man from MTV. We dove into the obvious stuff I know you want to hear, such as old Jackass stories, his most painful injuries, and how his body is holding up. Beyond that though, we dove into some really deep subjects, such as his struggles with growing up as a "rich kid", Buddhism, and the profound lessons he's learned through a multi-decade life of getting paid to injure yourself. Steve-O is addicted to attention, and I was glad to give him some!

WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW HERE: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/KalPennFull Buy Kal's book here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/You-Cant-Be-Serious/Kal-Penn/9781982171391 Kal Penn has one of the strangest resumes in Hollywood. You most likely remember Kal as half of the stoner comedy duo “Harold and Kumar”, or if you’ve watched a lot of medical dramas like I have you may have enjoyed his 2 season arc on House MD where he lit a patient on fire instead of doing chest compressions. But if your name is “Barack Obama” (hey Prez, check your DMs, come on the show?) you may instead remember Kal as a full time staff member at the White House. Huh? President Obama hired the White Castle guy, after he was already famous? That’s right. Your tax dollars paid his salary for years as a full time staff member of the White House Office of Public Engagement. Turns out the roller coaster ride of Kal’s life didn’t end with him sitting at the movie premiere for Van Wilder, next to his strict Indian immigrant parents, watching his oiled body slide off a naked woman while playing a character literally named “Taj Mahal” (yikes). In Kal’s new book, You Can’t Be Serious, he not only details some of the stunning racism he’s faced throughout his 20+ years in Hollywood, but also stories of those late nights in Washington DC working alongside President Obama navigating some of America’s most highly controversial political issues, such as the hurdles they had to clear to remove the army’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, which barred openly queer people from serving in the armed forces. I asked Kal about all of these big picture stories, as well as some smaller ones, like how it’s possible he walks around every day with a tattoo on his left arm that has a typo.
