Just because you’re skinny, it doesn’t mean that you’re healthy! This is something I say to patients all the time. You can’t just judge your health by your body measurements. In this episode we go over what the heck metabolically obese normal weight is and how to find out if you are!

I was introduced to the great Dr. Mike 5 years ago. I was amazing by his knowledge and insight into our health and wellness. He was able to breakdown really difficult ideas into manageable pieces for everyone to understand. Since then, I’ve been hooked on everything Dr. Mike has going on. From this outstanding podcast to his master Vitality class, I’m excited to learn all I can from him. Keep up the great work, Dr. Mike!!! Aloha!!

Dr. Mike is Amazing! He has helped my father-in-law get better from a stage 4 lung cancer and hospice to 98 % cancer free with the use of Yoli's better body system and his method of detoxification . It's been 2 years since Dad was diagnosed with the terminal cancer, today is he enjoying a quality of life with our family. Latest PET SCAN result says (01/17) lungs are clear and organs are Normal. My family is grateful! Thank you Doc! ??❤?????

I am so glad that we have an opportunity to change how we view things. This advice is worth your life to take action on…ask your doctor about why they want to do anything to your body! Always ask why, they may have studied and acquired a degree, but it’s your body. Ask, ask, ask. Great advice!!
So informative!!!
February 18, 2017 by Midnite Angel from United States
It's a one-stop shop for health information. Listening to Dr. Mike has opened up my wanting to learn more about health and wellness for myself and my 'ohana. Questions and concerns are answered, even those I never knew I had! This podcast is the best tool to carry around with me on my phone.
Super informative

Dr. Mike does a great job explaining how to become healthier. Not only does he tell you ways to get healthier - he explains why and how the processes work. I wish I could be closer to his practice, but the podcast is helping me to develop questions for my physician - that will help me get healthier. Thank you Dr. Mike for this powerful message!

Dr. Mike has an incredibly knowledgable grasp on the way a body functions and what causes it to break down, as well as how to fix it. He also has the gift of being able to put it into a podcast that everyone can understand.

I’ve been following Whaddup Doc University for the past couple of months. The topics Dr. Mike covers are diverse and very interesting. I think Dr. Mike himself and the guest speakers he brings in are very credible. Love it when he refers to randomized control trials and solid evidence.
One of my Favorite podcasts...

Thank you Dr. Mike — I’ve gained so much health knowledge just listening to your audios on top of what you’ve already taught us in our beginning days with Yoli. We’re so lucky to have a connection with you — can’t wait to listen to more audios. THANKY YOU!

Awesome show with potent content to literally add years to your life! Don’t wait now… Listen, subscribe but more importantly implement the information shared on this awesome podcast! Keep them coming Dr. Mike!
Easy, Clear Explanations. I learned a lot!
February 20, 2015 by MotorMavens.com from United States
This podcast is so awesome. I learned so much when I first listened in, I decided to replay it for my mom and listened to it again with her. Dr. Mike drops gems about wellness and explains things in simple English that everyone can understand. I don't understand complex medical terms, so I don't understand lots of medical sites on the internet. Good looking out to Dr. Mike and crew. WhaddupDoc is dope.
Health made EASY to understand!
February 20, 2015 by the_dks from United States
I’m sure I speak for the masses when I say that HEALTH and NUTRITION can sometimes be overwhelming for us to understand. Thank you for making the science so easy for the average person to digest (no pun intended), and understand! AWESOME!

Dr. Mike never ceases to amazing me at how much he knows about how the body works & what it specifically needs to make it heal or stay in optimal shape! He makes complicated concepts of biochemistry easy for all to understand & put into action! Great resource!
