Episode Overview

In this provocative episode, TopLobsta and Raven welcome Dr. Yared Vasquez, an internal medicine physician and MMA ringside doctor, to dissect the dysfunction and hidden exploitation in the American healthcare system. Through humor, personal stories, and a touch of righteous anger, Dr. Vasquez exposes healthcare’s profit-driven games, provides practical advice for breaking free of the corporate medical system, and forecasts a creeping shift toward AI-based, impersonal care. The discussion ranges from personal health crises to the impact of insurance, the dangers of urgent care, and why direct primary care might be the answer. All this is filtered through the podcast’s trademark style: a mix of skepticism, biblical conspiratorial outlook, and banter.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Dr. Yared’s Journey & Perspective (03:34–08:00)

• Background: Raised in public housing in Ponce, Puerto Rico; medical school in Puerto Rico and Mexico; moved to the US for practice—first to Iowa (attracted by financial incentives), then Florida.
• Early Career Experiences: Iowa’s environment was a dramatic (and literal) climate shift; exposure to both agricultural chemicals (Monsanto) and the stark lack of community engagement in health.
• Personal Healthcare Wakeup: Shared a personal struggle with Covid: “I had Covid when it was the delta variant—fever for 12 days. I almost died.” (08:15)
• Unique After-effects of Illness (Covid): Lost ability to smell bad odors permanently—resulting in humorous “superpower” moments with family. (09:28)

---

2. The Health Impact of Environment & Corporate Medicine (06:18–13:25)

• Effect of Northern States/Winters: Poor air, constant indoor living, lack of fresh food, all weaken the immune system.
• Family Health Struggles: TopLobsta shares spouse’s experience—Lyme disease reactivated after Covid, and the limitations of Western medicine (“They wanted to put her on some pills that she would be on for the rest of her life. She recognized it immediately and said no…” 07:13).
• Corporate Healthcare’s Blind Spots: No mainstream guidance on proactively strengthening immune systems ahead of flu season; urgent care is “a money grab...just a patch to get your money and send you on your way.” (12:07)

---

3. The Healthcare & Insurance Scam (13:25–24:50)

• The Problem with Urgent Care & Insurance:

  • Urgent care is deliberately under-staffed by cheaper mid-levels (nurse practitioners, physician assistants) to avoid full ER rates and cut costs for corporations, not to improve care (13:25–14:20).
  • Exposé on Costs: Imaging can be vastly cheaper out-of-system: “Visit and CT scan: pay ~$300…in the corporate system, your deductible kills you!” (15:03)
  • Insurance deductibles reset annually, rarely yielding the security people expect: “You think you’re covered, but every time you have a health issue, you’re the one paying anyway.” (16:09)

• On Catastrophic Insurance: Dr. Yared advises “get catastrophic insurance, not ‘health insurance’” (16:56).

• Health Insurance as a Scam:

  • Insurance companies profit while providing minimal coverage and denying claims. “Absolutely fucking no [they’ll help you out],” Dr. Yared is blunt (18:57).
  • Every major form—health, auto, home—plays similar denial games when it counts (Coney Island and Hurricane Sandy anecdote, 19:03).
  • Middle class is crushed paying exorbitant premiums for little real benefit.

  “You’re just feeding the system, not getting adequate care.” – Dr. Yared (15:03)

---

4. The Corporate Takeover & The Loss of Patient Care (21:02–31:17)

• Direct Primary Care as the Solution:

  • “You have to find a doctor that does direct primary care...every time you come here, this is what it's going to cost. In my case, every visit is $50.” (20:11)
  • Contrasts personal, accessible, transparent care with the hoops, high fees, and brick walls of corporate hospitals and insurance.
  • All his patients have his personal cell phone; “Do they call me sometimes at awkward times? Yes. But it’s worth it.” (21:02)

• Billing and Administrative Kafkaesque Nightmares:

  • Insurance companies and their sub-system (pharmacy benefit managers, PBMs) set inflated and secretive prices for procedures and medications, driven by negotiations that ensure corporate profit (23:00).

  “This question gives me a boner. This is what people need to know.” – Dr. Yared, on explaining PBMs and hospital billing (23:00)

• Doctors Locked Out of Ownership

  • Obamacare made it illegal for doctors to own hospitals under the guise of 'conflict of interest,’ shifting ownership to profit-driven corporations. This has gutted the healthcare system’s accountability and the patient-doctor relationship (29:02).
  • “If you have a relationship with your doctor, you have a shot. All my patients spend an hour with me, not five minutes.” (32:18)

---

5. The Commodification of Disease—Especially Cancer (26:10–29:52)

• Chronic Disease as Subscription Service: “Is cancer really incurable, or is it managed for profit? They want a parasitic relationship with that diagnosis forever.” – Raven (25:33)
• Dr. Yared’s Nuance: Cancer is many diseases, some curable, some not; systemic factors like stress and lifestyle degrade DNA and lead to disease.
• Corporate Healthcare Removes Morality: By shifting ownership, removes the Hippocratic Oath and accountability; “You’re shouting at a logo now.” (31:03)
• Doctors need to have deep relationships with patients—knowing them, caring about them, and spending time.

---

6. The Culture of Medical School & Why the System Creates Cowed Doctors (37:16–39:45)

• Medical training is now expensive, exhausting, and designed to break the spirit and will of would-be independent doctors, funneling them into corporate systems.
• “You have a baby elephant, you tie its leg, when it’s grown it still thinks it can’t move… That’s most doctors.” – Dr. Yared (39:24)
• Corporate oversight, credentialing costs, and insurance power prevent young doctors from going out on their own.

---

7. The Looming Threat of AI & Algorithmic Care (42:26–54:00)

• AI Already Disrupting Care: Radiology, pathology are being subsumed by AI. Tech companies offering to pay doctors to let them record and listen to checkups, harvesting data for machine learning (42:26–43:00).
• “There is an active movement of the death of specialty and intricate knowledge...being replaced by algorithms and AI generalization.” (49:54)
• Danger of AI Doctors: Disconnected, unaccountable, tailored to tell patients what they want to hear. “Imagine getting a text from a bot to tell you your loved one is dead…” (53:18)

---

8. How to Break Free – Steps for Patients (51:16–53:18)

• Find Direct Primary Care: Google for “direct primary care” or “concierge”; subscription or fee-per-visit is transparent and most affordable.
• Don’t Accept Less: “If you don’t like your doctor, go find one that fits. You need to feel comfortable, have a relationship, and get direct care.” (51:16)
• The healthcare system will only get “more distant, more expensive, and less effective.”

---

9. Health and Parenting in a Toxic Culture (54:00–78:54)

• The modern environment—addictive short-form entertainment, processed foods, both parents working, failing schools—makes raising healthy, resilient kids hard.
• The importance of minimizing screen time, offering real activities and skills, and being an active, present parent.
• “It’s easy to have your kid on an iPad, but the peace you have when you’re not paying attention will go away when they do something stupid, get sick, or aren’t successful.” – Dr. Yared (75:29)
• The system grinds people down, requires both parents to work, then blames families for the inevitable breakdown.

---

10. Medical Myths, Parasites, and Social Misdirection (56:49–68:57)

• On Parasites: More attention is being paid post-Covid to parasitic and other “unconventional” explanations for disease; Dr. Yared’s philosophy is to pursue what the patient is genuinely concerned about.

• Autism and Tylenol: Explores the recent debates over acetaminophen, vaccines, and autism, noting that the issue is deeply multifactorial; government pronouncements are often distractions from deeper systemic failures.

  “Instead, you have that distractor—Tylenol…We put so much bad in our kids. Including everything from cell phones on.” (65:12)

• Dr. Yared’s experience: “My daughter was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism. I spent thousands...ballet was what helped her connect with her body after nothing else worked.” (66:24)

---

11. Seasonal Health, Intravenous Therapy, and Practical Steps (82:32–90:01)

• IV Infusions as Seasonal Support: Monthly IV vitamin infusions (vitamin C, B12, glutathione) are recommended, especially for immune system support in winter and during respiratory virus season; cost is usually $75–$125—cheaper than most insurance premiums (89:26).
• Insurance “Health Savings Accounts” (HSAs): HSA is the only part of the system that actually lets patients save and spend on their own terms, with funds rolling over year to year.

---

12. Wellness in Sports and Beyond (91:11–96:57)

• Combat sports can bring excellent health benefits with the right approach (minimizing weight cutting, focusing on nutrition).
• Concerns about infections (MRSA in gyms) and why some fighters experience more health issues: “If you fight close to your walk-around weight, you’re top shelf. If you do massive weight cuts, your immune system is shot.” (92:20)
• Even in healthy-seeming pursuits, knowledge and self-care are critical.

---

13. The Vision for Change in Healthcare (98:22–107:01)

• “What I want to see is younger physicians inspired to do direct care, delay instant gratification, and build real communities of patients—they will survive and force corporate systems to compete.” (98:40)
• What’s needed is not more government management, but a mass return to old-school, process-driven, personal medicine, driven by doctor-patient relationships and direct payment models.
• “The corporate system will have to compete when enough of us do this.” (100:32)
• Stories of personal perseverance—stepping out, taking risk, and doing right by patients.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On corporate healthcare:
  “Imagine getting a text from a bot to tell you your loved one is dead…” – TopLobsta (53:18)

• On urgent care: “It’s a money grab...Urgent cares are there to prevent ER visits because ER visits are more expensive.” – Dr. Yared (13:25)

• On the insurance scam: “You’re just feeding the system and not getting adequate care because then you’re gonna have to pay the copay for the imaging, the doctor, and all that stuff...It’s a scam.” – Dr. Yared (15:03)

• On AI and the corporate future: “If not, you’re going to be stuck with AI in less than five years…Radiology has been taken over by AI. Pathology will soon follow... they want to record your exam room, gather data, and replace you.” – Dr. Yared (42:26)

• On direct care: “All my patients have my cell phone. Do they call me at awkward times? Yes, but it’s worth it because I get to results.” – Dr. Yared (21:02)

• On health myths and parenting: “We put so much bad in our kids, including everything—cell phone, everything…autism is multifactorial, it’s not just Tylenol.” – Dr. Yared (65:56)

• On life and medicine: “I was born poor. Public housing project. I don’t give a f*ck. I want to do what I want to do.” – Dr. Yared (39:40)

That is true. Yeah, he was there for the very first one. Also, there's discount codes off of merchandise from toplops@.com that await you over there. What do we got?

[Dr. Yared]

What do you want to pick people?

[David Lee Corbo]

I don't have that one on there today. I don't know. How about the Springfield Animal Control? They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. That was a banger that went away. And we don't have fun like that anymore. Now everything is.

[Top Lobster]

Everything's super serious. Everything is like, you know, everything's scary. Now assassinations.

[David Lee Corbo]

I like when they were just accusing them of eating the dogs and eating the cats. Joining us today is Dr. Yarid. For the audience who may not be familiar with you, what is it that you do and where can they find what you.

[Dr. Yared]

Well, I am an internal medicine physician and I am a ringside physician, meaning that I take care of, of all chronic disease, chronic illness, and I also, I'm the doctor when, you know, you have UFC fights in town here in Florida, bare knuckle fighting, any type of fisticuff action or aggression happening, that is sanctioned. I'm right there, next cage side to take care of of the fighters.

[David Lee Corbo]

Very cool. We were talking before the show and you were saying kind of all these different places that you lived in. We were saying that the. The Northeast really sucks or just the north really sucks when it comes to that temperature fluctuation and what it does to your immune system. What made you pick Florida? Because I know what made us pick Florida. And I wonder if it's a similar thought process, why here in Florida?

[Dr. Yared]

I, you know, when I started my medical career, you know, I started in Puerto Rico, I wanted to be a doctor. I did a couple years in Mexico in med school in Mexico, but that wasn't going to fly if I wanted to practice in the United States. So I finished up in Puerto Rico in Phsu, Ponce School of Medicine, and I did my residency there in Puerto Rico in a US Kind of US program. That's in Puerto Rico. So it allowed me to practice here. And the first thing that I did when I graduated from the specialty was pick the first offer. You know, I was raised in the public housing project in Puerto Rico, so super dirt poor. So, you know, when I put my name out there on a website and I.

[Top Lobster]

Which part of Puerto Rico did you.

[Dr. Yared]

Ponce.

[Top Lobster]

Okay.

[Dr. Yared]

Outside of Puerto Rico.

[Top Lobster]

All right. All right. My dad's from San Juan and my family's in Ceba right now. But I don't know where Ponce is.

[Dr. Yared]

It's probably just the very south. The biggest. The biggest town in the south. If you know, a couple miles by a couple miles, that's big for us.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

So when I put my name on a website for hiring, hiring, you know, they said, you know, we're going to give you a 50,000 bonuses to say less.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, yeah, that's good.

[Dr. Yared]

Iowa. I'm there.

[Top Lobster]

Where's Iowa?

[David Lee Corbo]

Was Iowa, dude.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, I went just like. You remember that Jim Carrey movie where he had to say yes to everything?

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

I was in that point in my life. I'm like, I'm dirt. Dirt poor. I want to make some money. And they kind of, you know, waved a couple checks in front of my face, and I'm like, that'll do it. I'm there.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's not like a flyover state, though, right? Like, it's like just endless Bible belt. That's it. Endless fields of corn.

[Top Lobster]

That's where Josh is from.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, really?

[Top Lobster]

It's freezing out there.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, I. I couldn't. Couldn't be me. How long did you hang out in. In Iowa before you were like, what am I doing?

[Dr. Yared]

A half years. Wow. The. Where the biggest Monsanto facility is, by the way. I live like, 25 minutes from that.

[David Lee Corbo]

Close enough that you could taste it on. On the produce, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

It's like this is. This is kind of. Colors are very, very.

[Top Lobster]

I wonder, do they poison? Do you. Where you eat? I guess.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, 100.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, they probably do, right?

[David Lee Corbo]

I think the further out you are, the less potent it is. The closer you are, the stronger it gets.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

So you could taste it. You die a little bit each time you eat a stalk of corn there.

[Dr. Yared]

The people. People die so much.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah. I believe it. I believe it. There's like, nothing to do in Iowa, though.

[Dr. Yared]

Nothing. Nothing. I mean, I. By happenstance, and for me, it was a change because Puerto Rico is just. Is just, you know, gun central and just crime central and be. Being from a public housing project. I want to get as far away from this as possible.

[David Lee Corbo]

You got it.

[Dr. Yared]

And take my family and just. And I got that. You're like, I had an acreage and all that stuff, and it was fun, you know, for the age I was in, having two girls and having. You know, I'm like, this is fun to have an acreage and just let them loose.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

Out there. So it was fun. But the. Like you said, we were talking before the pot, and he said, like, we get sick more often on that type of weather.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

For. For some reason, the immune system just doesn't gel with being inside, because you have to be inside all the time. The air you're breathing on the heating system is recirculated over and over again, and it's conditioned. So every place that you go, you're soaking in everybody's bacteria and everybody's funk. So everybody gets super sick. The food is not fresh because it's winter.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

So it Just took me one visit to Florida and I'm like, what have I been doing? Everything?

[Top Lobster]

And my wife has like, my wife, my wife, we spent like a ton of money on the, the HEPA system for both of these air conditioning things, like, because when we first moved here, she got really sick. I don't know. Have I told you the story before?

[Dr. Yared]

No.

[Top Lobster]

So, yeah, we were like just normal people. We moved here and she got Covid. The COVID reactivated her Lyme disease, or so we were told. And from there she just ran through all the stuff, all the things. And she's a nurse working in the western medical system. So obviously the prescription is going to be go to the doctor, get this, get that. And they wanted to put her on some pills that she would be on for the rest of her life. She recognized it immediately and said no and started doing research. She found like, guys like Dr. Charlie. I wish I would have, you know, recommended her to you because I'm sure you could have helped her as well.

[David Lee Corbo]

But just for clarification, when they diagnose you with Lyme disease conventionally, there's. This is a lifelong thing, right? Like, conventionally speaking, they don't have a means of healing, you know, permanently from that situation. They.

[Top Lobster]

They offered her like, like heavy antibiotics and she didn't want to do that because that would, like. That just ruins your stomach. Yeah, a number of other things, but I don't think that it really. You can get rid of it when.

[Dr. Yared]

You have, when you have an illness that triggers an autoimmune response, it changes your immune system. I'll give you a quick example. You mentioned Covid for when I had. I had Covet for when it was the delta variant, which is super strong, fever for 12 days. I almost, I think I almost died.

[David Lee Corbo]

12 days.

[Dr. Yared]

12 days fever for 12 days. It wrecked me. After I finished with COVID I could only smell ice. I smelled chlorine, and I smelled metallic smells. And I talked to one of my friends who's at ent. He's like that, that's called phantasmia. Phantom smells. You'll get better. Two weeks, three weeks pass. Those smells went away. I'm like, excellent. Yeah, new. I'm back in business. I go to a bathroom in Walmart. Worst smelling place first.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, yeah, that's a huge mistake.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah. Ever, Ever. So I'm in there and I'm just chilling. My brother's in there with me. He's like, somebody shat on the walls? I'm like, no, dude. He's like, you can't smell that. I'm like, what? He's like, it smells like. So he calls my dad over. My dad. Oh, somebody in the wall. I'm like, this can't be.

[David Lee Corbo]

You couldn't smell it.

[Dr. Yared]

I couldn't smell. So I lost Covid. Killed the cells of my olfactory nerve. That smell. That. That smells everything, dude.

[David Lee Corbo]

Like, does that come back?

[Dr. Yared]

That doesn't come back.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yo. You can't smell to this day.

[Dr. Yared]

No, I can't smell bad smell.

[Top Lobster]

I just. Right now.

[Dr. Yared]

So my daughter say that that's a superpower because if somebody ever falls in the sewer, I can jump in there.

[David Lee Corbo]

And it won't be a problem.

[Dr. Yared]

And it won't be a problem.

[David Lee Corbo]

I just got sick, like I was saying, coming back from New York, and I couldn't handle. I saw my. My taste was severely dulled, but anything that had vinegar in it was so off putting. Like, we went to a restaurant, we.

[Top Lobster]

Were eating, like, catch ketchup. And you were like, I can't ketchup.

[David Lee Corbo]

Mayonnaise, I think has vinegar in it. Right.

[Top Lobster]

We were just eating cash.

[David Lee Corbo]

Maybe it doesn't have it. We were just eating it. We used to. We do that all the time. And this time I couldn't. But, dude, it was. There was something else that. Oh, hot sauce. I love hot sauce. I. I couldn't get it near my face. It was so brutal with the vinegar smell. So, yeah, something happens. I don't know what I got hit with this past time, but on that topic of, like, when your immune system takes a. I haven't been good for so long. I had to get out of the Northeast because I was telling you before the show, after the cancer thing, immune system takes a. I get a collapsed lung, pneumonia. And every winter that comes, I got shingles. And it was like all this terrible crap, like a cascading series of events. And. And now, you know, thank God I'm in Florida because I fare a lot better. But I still, like, once a year, I could feel it trying. Something tries to get me real bad. And right now I've been in the throes of it for, like, for like two weeks. And really it's just like fatigue and stuff like that. But yeah, it's.

[Top Lobster]

It's. It's concerning because we. We've been on this journey to do what we're doing, and we're at this, like, precipice of, like. And he's. He's usually the most excited.

[David Lee Corbo]

He's like, tired.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, we're on this precipice about, about to do something really cool. And I'm like, dave, isn't this cool?

[Dr. Yared]

And he's just like, this time when.

[David Lee Corbo]

I leave here, I go home and go to sleep.

[Dr. Yared]

Dude, we're gonna set you up with some crazy IVs, with some exosomes. We're gonna do some good.

[David Lee Corbo]

That would be amazing because I'm, I'm. Dude, I'm tired.

[Top Lobster]

Rectal IVs. He does best.

[David Lee Corbo]

He's like, be. But sure. I'll admit it to them personally.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, yeah, but, but that's that. When you think about that, the like, corporate health system, we'll never acknowledge this, right? If we talk about winter, right. When we're going towards winter temperature changes, you have the daylight savings thing.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's a weird move.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, it's super weird move. So we're always going towards a, an era where food is not going to be that fresh. We're going to get some stuff that's kind of been in the shell for a little while. But nobody tells you, hey, you have to be on your P's and Q's once October starts because that's the season where more respiratory viruses come through, where you have more challenges for your immune system. So you have to be more, more in tune with what you do to your body. You got to be more clean with your diet. You got to maybe do an IV a month. Address when you're going to get sick, when you're feeling that you're getting sick, pay attention to it. And don't go to urgent care because urgent cares are the most piece of, of of our health system. There's no doctors in urgent cares, and they're just a patch to get your money to grab your insurance money and they send you.

[David Lee Corbo]

Is it good for like, let's say like if you, if you, I mean, like, like you hurt yourself, you break something or like a dog or something like that?

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, because I, I A lot of, a lot of, I mean, doctors, I've been looking at them like, no offense. No, I'm like, what are the, what kind of purpose do these guys serve at this point? Because, like, like over the last five years, I'm like, how much have we been lied to by these guys? Oh, but they do serve a purpose, right? Does urgent care serve a purpose or is this complete trash?

[Dr. Yared]

It's a money grab. It's a money grab. Urgent carriers are there to prevent ER visits because ER visits are more expensive.

[David Lee Corbo]

Okay.

[Dr. Yared]

Because hospitals charge more. So the same system, let's say we have hospital Corporation of America. They're like, people are coming into the er. The insurances don't want to pay when you have a visit. And to their hospital, they have to build insurance and they have to do all this paperwork. So let's make a service that's less intense. We're not going to staff it with doctors. We're going to staff it with mid levels. I know. And not shitting on mid levels. Right. We're just saying nurse practitioners, physician assistants. Yeah, you pay them less. So we're going to do it maybe a lighter staff. Maybe we're not going to have a CT scan. Maybe just going to have X rays and that way we capture the patients in the urgent care and we'll bill that urgent care fee and we won't have trouble with the insurance because it'll be apart from the hospital.

[David Lee Corbo]

Okay.

[Dr. Yared]

Because if you're attached to the hospital immediately, that cost goes up. The same way that if you have an insurance. Let's say you have an insurance and top lobster here doesn't have an insurance. You go to the hospital and you get a CT scan of your abdomen. Y and, oh, well, the CT scan is going to be $1,500. You haven't paid your deductible yet, so you're going to have to pay that 1500. You're like, I have an insurance, but this is a good deal. But top Lobster here knows Dr. Jared and hits me up, hey, my belly hurts. I need a CT scan. I don't want to use my insurance. I don't have insurance. Is it going to ruin me? I'm like, no, no, no. I'm going to send you to this mom and pop shop CT scan place.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yep.

[Dr. Yared]

It's going to cost you $240. And then you come see me and the visa is going to be $50. We're gonna take care of whatever is in there. So at the end of the day, you get a visit and a CT scan for around 300. Where you went to the corporate system having an insurance, so you think you're covered, you think you're safe, but no, you get hit by that, by that deductible and it just, you think you have the feel I have the insurance card in my wallet. But in reality you're just feeding the system and not getting adequate care because then you're going to have to go to your doctor. You already paid for that copay for the imaging study, now you're going to have to pay the copay in the corporate office and all that Stuff I'm doing good. You know, it was. If they fleeced me, it was good. But I have a 6, 500 deductible. This is working for my deductible. Let's say you're in your 30s. That was a big health issue. You're not going to get to the 6500 deductible. So insurance covers everything. So when once January comes around, that timer resets 6,500 again.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's crazy.

[Dr. Yared]

So every time you have a health issue, you're the one paying for it anyways. Even if you have insurance, I'm not having insurance. People feel desperate. I don't have any. I'm in danger. I'm like, no, no, no. Get yourself catastrophic life insurance that will cover 80% of. Get yourself a really good life insurance. Or catastrophic insurance will run you about $200 a month. So if you have a surgery appendicitis or you be. Need to be hospitalized, you have a good insurance. Not health insurance. You have good personal insurance to cover your costs. 80% of your costs, you're going to pay a little bit of that. You can negotiate with hospitals, the duress, because you're not going with insurances that have a contracted rate with the hospitals.

[Top Lobster]

This is what I need to talk to you about this very soon. Because we wouldn't have. We would have never started what we're doing now. This, I guess this entrepreneurial venture of what we're doing and how much we built it. I wouldn't have even continued with Top Lobster because when I first moved here, I was working for Odyssey. And then I lost that job. And then I was like, doing other stuff where I'm making enough money to survive. But I didn't have insurance, and Christina was not working. So I started working for the county just to do insurance. And I'm like, I told my wife, which is this pretty. She much. She pretty much works for insurance. Like we. She makes money, but it's like, it's insurance that we need for the kids. And like, I told her, I was like, listen, I can't build anything more meaningful if I'm going to be here working for insurance. Because before that, it was just breaking my back, like paying so much money for this. And I'm like, I just.

[Dr. Yared]

It's unsustainable to the tune of almost the American public. The middle class is paying around for a family of four, right? The average family. You're not putting more people in the population. You're just replacing your wife and you with two kids. Maybe you're paying around maybe fifteen hundred dollars through the Obamacare debacle. Fifteen hundred dollars a month. That's, that's like paying a mortgage. So you're paying your mortgage and you're paying another mortgage, but that mortgage, the second health mortgage that you're paying, doesn't get you anything because you have that deductible. All that stuff was designed to fund Obamacare and fund the, the plans. And we think we're doing good. Right. The people that have less money, they're gonna get care. I'm getting fleece. The middle class is getting crunched, but I'm doing something good. But that money is going towards insurances. So insurances manage that. And you know, if I ask any of you too, will insurance liberate those funds freely and be really altruistic and help the poor people?

[David Lee Corbo]

No.

[Dr. Yared]

Absolutely fucking no.

[David Lee Corbo]

We're all pretty accustomed to it being a gigantic scam. And that's kind of like what the general sentiment is. All insurance.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah. Where I'm from, Coney island, we had Hurricane Sandy.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, yeah. And. Oh, is it a storm? Is it? You got hurricane coverage, but this was a tropical store. You're like, that kind of.

[Top Lobster]

Is exactly.

[Dr. Yared]

The water wasn't cold enough.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, Whatever they can figure out to not. You pay this thing constantly and they'll figure out any way they possibly can.

[Top Lobster]

But it was reclassified to Superstorm Sandy because they can get around different kind of insurance.

[David Lee Corbo]

So it's a hurricane when it hits. But then in hindsight, was that how it worked?

[Top Lobster]

And you know, people, these people pay their insurance their entire life, and then when they finally do need it, they're like, can't help you. Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

So it's health insurance, car insurance, you know, virtually all of it is doing that in some way, shape or form. The name of the game is shout out Patrick David. Why? What did he do?

[Top Lobster]

He's just that he's an insurance sales.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, is he really?

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, he kind of gives me that vibe.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

Which is like a kind of a not great thing. Like, give me the vibe of an insurance. That's an insult. You give me the vibe of an insurance salesman.

[Top Lobster]

You're not even selling anything, really.

[David Lee Corbo]

No, you're not. You're just saying, hey, give me money and I promise that when you need me, I'll figure a way out of it. That's what you're saying.

[Dr. Yared]

That's what it is.

[David Lee Corbo]

That is.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

That's what it is. The answer to that. It's very simple. You have to find a Doctor that does direct primary care. That will be transparent. Hey, every time you come here, this, this is what the visit is going to cost. In my case, in Tampa, Florida, every time you come to the clinic costs like $50 for a visit. That's it. You're not going to get billed for anything else. There's no compromise. If you, there's other doctors that say, hey, I want to do a, like a monthly subscription. That's cool too. All that stuff is going to be a lot more profitable for you because you're going to have direct relationship with the doctor. Try to call a doctor from XYZ Hospital. You're going to get a machine every single time. All my patients have my cell phone. All of them. All of them have my cell phone. Do they call me sometimes at awkward times? Yes. But it's worth it because I get to results. Sometimes we have retarded questions, and that's.

[David Lee Corbo]

Well, I mean, it's life. It's. It's a. It's a, A convoluted industry. So. So obviously within the, the west, healthcare itself eludes the average person. But then navigating the apparatus of the healthcare system is a whole nother bag. So when you're talking about health and nutrition and fitness and all that, that is its own school of understanding. And then layer on top of that. Now I need you to navigate the canals of this really convoluted system that almost seems like purposely difficult to understand. When I was going through the whole cancer thing.

[Dr. Yared]

That's the word.

[David Lee Corbo]

It was like purposefully. Purposefully, yeah. Call this thing okay? No, that's not it. We're going to transfer you to here. Transfer Michael to this. We're going to transfer you to a specialist. Now you're communicating with three different people. They're passing you back and forth. Sometimes there's a disconnect between them. You're just like this volleyball that the health industry smacks up in the air, and then hopefully you land in the correct place. And, you know, it's. It's just this. Once you get hit with it, you, you know, if you have insurance or whatever, you get hit with this unbelievable bill, which I'm still struggling to figure out how when you get like an itemized breakdown of a hospital visit, it's like the acetaminophen that they gave you, that gave you autism costs, you know, 700.

[Top Lobster]

I'd love to ask about that, but.

[David Lee Corbo]

But, you know, I don't understand. Maybe you can help me understand.

[Top Lobster]

It's like stadium prices, you know, right.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yes. And how is that. Okay, I don't understand that. How could you give me this thing? I can go and pay for the autism myself on the counter. And it's, and it's $12 for a whole bottle of autism. But they can give you one pill and they can, they can charge you. I mean, it's like sometimes you'll look at, it's like 7, $800 for the aspirin that they bought you.

[Dr. Yared]

Ivy bag, an IV bag. I buy an IV bag and IV bags like $11. The line is maybe nine. The catheter is maybe four or five dollars.

[David Lee Corbo]

Okay.

[Dr. Yared]

A hospital would charge 600 for it.

[David Lee Corbo]

How is that. Okay, how is that, how is that permissible? Is it because. Is there some sort of like, subsidization going on?

[Dr. Yared]

This, yeah, this, this question gives me a boner. This is, this is, this is what people need to know.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

In the 1940s, little organization called PBMS, pharmacy benefit managers wasn't put in place by insurances and our wonderful politicians that kind of lobby that stuff and allowed it to happen. And it's an organization that negotiates prices between the insurances and the pharmaceutical companies, and they dictate what price the medications should have. There's another organization like that for hospitals, and it's the same thing. They set the prices and they negotiate. And that organization keeps part of the profits. They're allowed by law to keep part of the profits now.

[David Lee Corbo]

So there, that's. I was going to say where is the. Where, where, where's the model? How do you determine? But it seems like it's determined by the most profit.

[Dr. Yared]

It's internal and not transparent. So when. That's the reason Healthcare before, in the 1920s, 1920s-1940s and, and beyond, you know, before that we did some shady shit.

[David Lee Corbo]

Okay.

[Dr. Yared]

We might have used some leeches. We might have did some, you know, so it was, it was, it was the wild, wild west. But from, from that time, it was direct pay to, to doctors and, and, and pharmacies and hospitals even. And hospitals weren't for profit. Hospitals were part of like, church groups or they were funded by a big company like Kaiser Permanente to take care of their employees. But now it's an industry. After 9 11, it became an industry 911 after something happened around that date.

[David Lee Corbo]

I forget what it was, but yeah, something happened. It escapes me.

[Dr. Yared]

And a lot of CEOs decided, you know, the, when the, the industry falls, when the. What's the word I'm looking for, I became a lot of Very Puerto Rican for forgetting words. When the stock companies, they figured out what's the. What's. What's recession proof, what's war proof, what will keep going? Hospitals.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

There's always going to be sick people. So that's when CEOs, hospital CEOs became a really hot career. And a lot of people say, I'm not going to go trading. That could be up and down. I could be mediocre and use doctors. Yeah. And make a lot of money. So it makes sense when you look.

[David Lee Corbo]

At the state of things now. Clearly the best industry to have invested in in the past decade would have been the pharmaceutical industry, the medical industry at large. And then it starts to become this big sort of speculation as to, you know, here, here's a nefarious example. Is cancer a treatable and curable disease? And is it instead relegated to management so that the industry can form a parasitic relationship with the cancer victim or cancer patient for the rest of their life?

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah. The answer to that question is very direct. It's. We have to visualize how we think about cancer in a way. Cancer is the inability of the body to take care of steady and organized growth in an organ system. It could be the blood, it could be leukemia, it could be the prostate, it could be the testicles. It could be a number of things. But if we categorize all those things under that word cancer. Yeah. We think that the management of the disease is equal for absolutely everything. You know, if you get in testicular cancer, you cut your ball off and you check a PET scan to see if there's any metastasis. I'm good. That's. That's a. Very easily treatable.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

But there are sarcomas, bone cancers, bone marrow cancers that are Bill.

[David Lee Corbo]

And it called them like the same thing. Like, it's cancer. Cancer. Cancer is when you, when you categorize.

[Dr. Yared]

It under that, it becomes so difficult and so muddy to really understand. So it's the inability. Okay. We're. Our DNA keeps degrading and degrading the older we get. That's undoubtedly that happens. We're not managing that well. Our food is not. Doesn't help. Yeah. Stress doesn't help. The 9 to 5 lifestyle doesn't help. Being cooped up in your house, watching your phone all day doesn't help.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's what I was told, by the way, when I, When I was diagnosed with cancer, they just said that the likeliest situation was stress. It was stress induced, which is a wild thing to think of because at the time I was working my ass off trying to become head foreman of my fabrication shop and I achieved that.

[Top Lobster]

Dr. Jack, can you just move in just a little bit?

[Dr. Yared]

A little bit.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, yeah, sorry. Okay, right there. Get you in a good shot.

[David Lee Corbo]

You go ahead. But I, I achieved that and, and then I got cancer, you know, so it's like, yeah, you know, just a wild thing, this idea that you could work hard and stress yourself out to try to achieve something and support your family. And then it's like, oh, that stress gave you this bump on your nut. And you know, if you don't treat that, that's going to be a real issue.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, yeah, it's. We have to think about cancer as a unbalance in the body. Oh, we're going to. It's the name stuck. So we have to treat it, but we have to understand the body as a whole in order to, to move forward and to have different alternatives of treatment. And you're absolutely right. There's, you know, when you have leukemia and you have your multiple myeloma and these cancers that are going to change your life expectancy and it's, you have to be clear. And doctors are not clear. The health industry right now is corporatized. Yeah. So all these big players after Obamacare, second time I mentioned it. It's going to be many more after Obamacare. They made it illegal for doctors to own hospitals, which is absolutely just, just the grossest thing that nobody has had reactions to.

[David Lee Corbo]

So who owns hospitals then?

[Dr. Yared]

Big corporations? You know what the, you know what the, what do you think is the thought process of regulators, lawmakers to make it illegal for doctors to own hospitals? Your thought?

[Top Lobster]

I would want the hospitals to be profit based rather than like run by somebody who would have a solution or like, like guiding in, in the correct manner, I suppose.

[David Lee Corbo]

I got one. It's to keep the. There's. Effectively, if the doctor owns the hospital, then everything has to pass through him. So if you're a, let's say a company that has a pharmaceutical that you want to cut corners and you want to get this out to the public and the doctor is going to scrutinize that and stand in the way. We don't want that. A corporation can be won over with money probably more effectively than like an individual can, because the corporation is a diffusion of responsibility amongst multiple individuals.

[Top Lobster]

A board.

[David Lee Corbo]

It has a board. Right. And you could pay off that board. You could influence that board. It's, it's much easier to deal with that than one moral individual who's standing in the way.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, yeah, you, you said it perfectly. And the reasoning behind that law, which Obamacare, we're going to give care to everybody and doctors can own hospitals. That was, that was the little thing under the COVID And they said, no, it's that, you know, if doctors own hospitals, they're going to refer their own patients and there's a conflict of interest.

[David Lee Corbo]

So they worry about that level of corruption.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah. But if, you know, if Benito Hospital, just big name Benito Hospital has Bonito Clinic next to it, they're still going to refer patients to their own health system to get CT scans in their own hospital. It was just a way to get out the people that have the moral responsibility, the people that have the Hippocratic oath.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yep.

[Dr. Yared]

To.

[David Lee Corbo]

There you go. Shout out Red Beard in the chat. Hippocratic Oath. Yeah. And. And let me tell you something, when you're the owner of a hospital, it falls on you. So if you're an individual doctor who has the Hippocratic oath, who's, you know, do no harm, all that responsibility falls on you.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

Whereas as soon as it goes to a corporation, it loses a face, it loses accountability. Then what are you shouting at? You're shouting at a logo, you know, and trying to hold it responsible. And it's a board of dudes who, whose names you don't know, whose faces you never see.

[Dr. Yared]

They're playing golf.

[David Lee Corbo]

They're playing golf. Exactly. Yeah. So much better. A system that has one person. Because this is like what you say when you sometimes think about, like, well, maybe the idea of a monarch isn't bad because at least you know who to hang. You know what I mean? At least you have one dude's face and they're accountable. You know what I mean? And you can look at them and you can, you can hold them responsible and, you know, drag them out into the public square and, you know, skin them alive. No, you know, not that, but. But I am. I think that it's a better system and that it's. It's really that diffusion of responsibility is probably the main component that's at play there. When you're dealing with a corporation and.

[Dr. Yared]

The relationship with the doctor. You have to have a relationship with your doctor. Your doctor has to know you since you were young, follow you through your life.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

Have.

[Top Lobster]

Care about you, care.

[Dr. Yared]

All my patients, you know, when I, when I sit down with them, I spend like an hour on my patients, even though I'm charging 50, I'm like, let me sit down. Let me get to know you. Let me get get to know what makes you tick. Let me, let me know.

[David Lee Corbo]

You're spending an hour with them.

[Dr. Yared]

I'm spending an hour.

[David Lee Corbo]

Dude, when I had cancer, these people would be in and out in five minutes.

[Top Lobster]

To be honest, 50 an hour is not a bad living. I mean, no.

[Dr. Yared]

And. And people. All my other friends. I don't have many friends that are doctor. I have some because they're horrible hangs. You're crazy. You're not going to make money. And I'm like, yes, I am, because I have a small office. I don't have to pay a huge overhead. I don't have to pay a gigantic electronic system to bill, and I don't have to use insurances to get my money. Let's say I have a Blue Cross Blue Shield patient or a Blue Cross patient. I have to pay 10% of that visit amount to my billing company. And Blue Cross Blue Shield will pay me 75 to $80. So that slices of. In order to have insurances, I have to have staff in the, in the office to do, you know, the billing and to help me documentation. That takes another percentage. At the end of the day, I might take home $40. So by me using that and just saying, hey, I don't use insurance, by the way, Blue Cross Blue Shield started since 1920. So they've been around. Okay? And before they would beg doctors to take their insurances.

[David Lee Corbo]

They're like parasites. You're like parasites.

[Dr. Yared]

I have to pay a credentialing if, let's say I'm a doctor, Dr. Jerry, starting I just graduated. I want to open an office and I have to pay a credentialing company. I have to pay them thousands of dollars, maybe 3,500, $4,500 just to put all my credentials in one place and say to an insurance, please, please accept my office. I want patients. And then I get.

[David Lee Corbo]

How much is that?

[Dr. Yared]

You said maybe 35 to 4,500 being really modest. Yeah, it could be more. And I have to give them my credentials show in my office. Hey, this is. This is the type of doctor I am. This is what I bring to the table. Can you give me patients? But guess who has the big contracts, the big systems so they could turn around UnitedHealthcare. When I did my application first at the beginning, they said, we're not accepting new doctors for the past six years because they're good.

[David Lee Corbo]

They already have all these big contracts.

[Dr. Yared]

To all the kids that graduated med school.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, my God.

[Dr. Yared]

They can't have their own practice. So what do they do basically just.

[David Lee Corbo]

Become part of the system.

[Top Lobster]

You go into like advantage care doctor.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So if they have an idea that like my idea, like what I do at Vascare. Oh man. I really want to form connections with my patients. Because when you spend that one hour with your patient at the beginning, every other appointment is not going to be one hour. Right. You're going to have relationship. Your patient has your phone number, a doctor. You prescribe this medication. It's slimy. Should I take it? No, that's a suppository. It goes in your butt. It's a real. That's something real that happened. That's real. That's a real story. If you, if you had. If you. If you called, if that happened and you're in a corporate system, you call Benito health system and they're like, press two.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, the worst, dude.

[Dr. Yared]

And you're gonna end up eating a suppository. Yeah, don't do that. Suppositories go somewhere else, dude.

[David Lee Corbo]

Let me tell you though, I've been through the meat grinder. I've been through that system. It is a nightmare. Especially that automated system where it's like, go here, press this. To go here, press this. Then it's like, God forbid something shouldn't sound exactly like what it is you're looking for. You're pressing a number that brings you to a place that you're not supposed to be. Don't worry, they're going to transfer you to the place where you. And it's just like this, never ending. Half of the battle, maybe more than half of the battle, as far as time allocation goes, is dedicated to just navigating those systems to find somebody to speak to.

[Top Lobster]

Sounds what the doctor conundrum sounds like is, is the food conundrum. It sounds like the same thing where everybody could technically grow their own food, or at least parts of their own food, but we're relying on these big systems that have these barriers of entry and it's just like it's designed this way. And this is a conspiracy show.

[Dr. Yared]

Well, we're going to.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, it sounds like a parasitic relationship. These things latch themselves onto a system and then they start to siphon off funding from it and everything. And then because of that, the system is forced to increase the demand for the funding. So the funding goes way up and then the parasite just increases what percentage of the funding.

[Top Lobster]

But it also, it also like narrows. Narrows the funnel. Yeah, like. Like it creates the barrier. It's the same exact playbook that it's Done with. Well, the food industry is one that just pops to mind. But it's like, if there were more doctors, would this be less of an issue? Because then more doctors could technically practice the way you're doing it. And also doctors, you would have to.

[Dr. Yared]

Have more doctors with balls. And what happens is all the new kids that are coming in the system, they're bombarded. In the 70s, the wonderful 70s, we had Bush and we had doctors that cared about. Right. We had doctors that go through med school. It wasn't that difficult to get through med school, that it wasn't that expensive. You had to take a singular test, the mbme, to practice medicine. And you kept up, you kept up with, with the literature and continuing medical education. Now entering med school, you have to take the MCAT. Cost you around 800, $900.

[David Lee Corbo]

Right. Just to take it for a college.

[Dr. Yared]

Kid just to take the MCAT. Let's say you pass the MCAT. What's next? Okay, you got to pay the 60 or 80 grand a year plus books, 100 and some thousand dollars. Second year med school rolls around, you have to take the USMLE step one, which is a fifteen hundred dollar exam, you know, eleven hundred questions, A, B, C, D, E, which is useless.

[David Lee Corbo]

But we're talking on top of your schooling.

[Dr. Yared]

On top of your schooling. Yeah. If you don't pass that, yeah, you're done.

[David Lee Corbo]

So go through all of that. And now when you're finally done and you. And you meet that resistance that won't allow you to get approved for the funding or whatever to open up your own practice, keep pushing. It's like these people just want to be done with it.

[Top Lobster]

But this is how, I mean, it's.

[David Lee Corbo]

Genius because, yeah, it beats the crap out of you. So when you come out, you have two options. You can either keep fighting and become an individual practitioner with your own place and all this, or you can go. There's a lot more fight ahead of me. I'm just gonna go into the system.

[Top Lobster]

They wouldn't have been able to as effectively do what they did with COVID because the doc.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

I mean, I'm looking at him right now, I'm kind of suspicious still because he's like, doctor. But it's like the doctors went, you know, just in lockstep with what was told.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

And the reason is, it's because it seems like the money that they've put in, and I get it, they put in tons of their own time and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

When you, when you, you have A baby elephant. You tie his leg, you put a stake on the ground. They can't pull it out. When that elephant is. Is an adult, he's like, oh, I'm. I can't move. I might as well stay here.

[David Lee Corbo]

Doesn't realize he can, but he can.

[Dr. Yared]

I'm a. I was born poor. Public housing project. I don't give a. I want to do what I want to do. And I didn't jive when I was in Iowa. I had once, you know, I was in a. In a car. The CEOs were trying to push me to go to JBS and attend the patients. You got a lot of Hispanic patients and jbs, a lot of Mexican people. They're like, oh, great, you've lived in Mexico before. Oh, this is going to be great. And I jump in there in their Cadillac with them. I'm driving over there, and they're talking about their. Their Gucci socks and hookers and blow.

[David Lee Corbo]

And I'm like, no way.

[Dr. Yared]

Really do 100%. 100.

[David Lee Corbo]

They had Gucci socks.

[Top Lobster]

They're like rock stars.

[Dr. Yared]

Like rock stars. And here I am with, you know, 80 scrubs.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

Shitty. I'm like. And they're just talking and laughing and golf. And I'm like, oh, I just wanted to just open up from the rear seat. Yeah. And just, you know, let's all die. Push this car. This is so. So the. What you notice immediately when you brush up against those people. You know, they called me to a meeting. Hey. And I'm very boisterous with the things that I believe in, and I don't care. You know, I've been already, what are you gonna do? I'm be poor again. I don't give a fuck. Being shot. I've been doing tons of things happened back home, so I don't. I don't fear any of that. So they called me over the game. You. You. You wrote something in social media that, you know, we didn't like for a company.

[David Lee Corbo]

Do you remember what it was? No.

[Dr. Yared]

I was mad because they didn't hire a. You know, my wife, she's a psychologist. And they told me when I was interviewing that I go, no, we're gonna hire her, because, you know, you two are great for the town.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

Never hired her or never even called her.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, so you were voicing your opinion on that?

[Dr. Yared]

I was saying that and just called me over there, wrote me over a thing, and I'm like, yeah, I'll sign it. So I just worked out my contract and just did whatever I wanted yeah. And I. I'm gonna make a savings and I'm gonna do my vision of. Of medicine. And it's been hard, but patients will take care of you. And young doctors don't have that belief. If you do right by your patients, you create a relationship and you bring out a service. That's great. Yeah. That's valuable. It's. They don't care if the illness has no cure. They don't care if you're. If you don't know all of it. If you're not, you know, a super genius doctor. You just want someone to care.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yep.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

And that's what takes you, and that's that. My message is that. My message is that get a doctor that's outside of the corporate system, support that movement. It will change. It will change. Because if not, you're going to be stuck with AI in less than five years.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's coming.

[Dr. Yared]

Less than five.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's right around the corner.

[Dr. Yared]

Less than five. Radiology has been taken over by AI. Pathology will soon follow.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

And they're doing research right now. I get emails. I'll share them with you guys later. Emails right now of AI companies that want to put a mic on. On your exam room just to hear how you treat patients.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, like gather day data. Gathering.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, gather data.

[David Lee Corbo]

Understand the process, emulate it. Look, I want to talk more about that, but we're at 42 minute mark.

[Top Lobster]

Let's let it go.

[David Lee Corbo]

You want to let it go?

[Dr. Yared]

Okay.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, we usually go. We kick the pores out at 30 minutes, but we'll let. We'll let them.

[David Lee Corbo]

We'll let them keep eating it.

[Top Lobster]

This. This episode will be. After the episode finishes, we're gonna take it down to edit it, but it'll be back up soon. But let the people that are here live listen live.

[David Lee Corbo]

It's always.

[Top Lobster]

It's important information.

[David Lee Corbo]

It's important information. But of course. And, And. And particularly important information because it's medical information. But that is specifically what YouTube doesn't like.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, yeah, forget it.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's what YouTube doesn't like is medical information called misinformation. Which is. Which is hilarious because they inundated us with that in 2020.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

They're trying to fix it because they, they sent me a request.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

To certify me as a physician, I had to send them my license. So under my YouTube videos, which I don't do that many anymore, it says by a certified health care provider.

[David Lee Corbo]

So now you're allowed to. Because you're a certified healthcare provider. Right.

[Dr. Yared]

But they're trying to. You're trying to correct after up.

[David Lee Corbo]

I'm wondering what they're gonna.

[Dr. Yared]

Lawsuits and all that stuff they received. They're trying to correct.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah. Owen Benjamin already got terminated again.

[Dr. Yared]

Did you see that?

[Top Lobster]

Yeah. He did it the wrong way.

[David Lee Corbo]

Well, I feel like he's also going to try to push it as hard as he possibly can.

[Top Lobster]

Well, the. The way that they were not to derail, but they were telling you to appeal with your old account.

[David Lee Corbo]

Okay.

[Top Lobster]

And he created a new one. And if you created a new one, they. They see that as like circumvention, so that's why they banned that account.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, okay. Like, I try to get around the.

[Top Lobster]

I don't know how they're gonna behave. They're trying to. Course. Correct. I honestly, they're still the king. YouTube is the king of content here.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

But they've gone so far. Like, they. They've done too much for me to trust anything they say at this point, so.

[Dr. Yared]

It's not worth it. It's not worth it. I rather post on. It's the same company, but I'd rather post a little bit on Instagram. And I just. I'm telling you, I'm. I like. I like podcasting, but I really love the personal connection that you make when I. It's. So when I have a patient in front of me, they're getting all this information in a nutshell, and it opens up their method. I can't believe, you know, I had an older patient, asked me for a little Viagra. You know, he wanted to lay the law down in his anniversary.

[David Lee Corbo]

Get erect.

[Dr. Yared]

You know, get that. Get that power. So I give him the prescription. I tell him, don't pull out your insurance. Just. He forgot he was old. He calls me, hey, doctor, you're trying to charge me $560? I'm like.

[Top Lobster]

For boners for using his insurance for.

[Dr. Yared]

The medication with insurance. I'm gonna just. Just grab your prescription back from them, take it to another pharmacy, but when you take it to the counter, just say, this is going to be cash pay. Guess how much it was for cash pay. Less than $129. Dude, what?

[David Lee Corbo]

This guy getting boners for 30 bucks.

[Top Lobster]

How does it work, though? How does that. How do they even justify that?

[Dr. Yared]

Pharmacy benefit managers. Pharmacy benefit managers. Remember we mentioned pharmacy benefit managers?

[Top Lobster]

I used to work in a pharmacy and I. And I've seen something like that. I got no idea how it works. They do something like magic behind the computer.

[Dr. Yared]

This company, the PBMs, they're called PBMs. This pharmacy benefit managers. They negotiate how many drugs, which drugs are going to be in the formulary and the pharmacy is going to pre buy and have in the pharmacy and how much the insurances are going to pay for it. For the moment that you present your insurance card, there's already a price set for that medication for you as an insurance holder. If I go in willy nilly cash pay and I'm like hey, or have a coupon or something, he's like hey, I want to get the medication is going to be way less. And the fundamental medication that you need to live every day, antibiotics, blood pressure medication, regular shmegular, diabetics. Not Ozempic.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's an important David, that's the most important one.

[Dr. Yared]

Not Mary Kate and Ashley Venom.

[David Lee Corbo]

Unbelievable. How dare you besmirch Ozempic in some.

[Dr. Yared]

Instances but of the regular stuff is less than $10.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, I, I, when I go to the thing, you know, we didn't have insurance so I'll just, I'll tell them it's cash. And then I'm always kind of taken aback by how not really expensive it is. Like I might pay like 30, $40 for something or whatever. But that's it, I'll pay that and I'll go okay, cool. That was relatively painless. You know what I mean? So yeah, but yeah, I mean I've seen it the other way around too. When I did have insurance and I'm looking at the cost of things, I'm like what in the hell's going on here? Yeah, you know you were talking about that AI aspect taking over. I think that's very real. I think your, your, your time frame of five years is probably also conservative, right? That's being generous.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, it really not considering the, just the, like the exponential increase.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, yeah. Because at any moment you can have this big breakthrough boom because that talent develops, it'll, it'll jump.

[Top Lobster]

But after Covid, for the microphone that they want to put in your office, there's obviously some sort of cash benefit that they're going to be giving you, right?

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, they're offering you something cool for.

[Dr. Yared]

$75 an hour or something like that.

[David Lee Corbo]

Just to have this thing sit there.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, yeah. Well after Covid, there's a ton of startups like that right now. Not one, not ten.

[David Lee Corbo]

We have one.

[Top Lobster]

How do you think we afforded this podcast?

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, this is always what I signed earlier.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, I told you, read it. After Covid, the popularity of virtual doctor's appointments went through the roof. I obviously was. It was what was needed at the time or what was required at the time. But then since then, that model hasn't really gone away. So anytime I'm feeling under the weather, I always keep in my mind I could just go and tell somebody on FaceTime my symptoms and they could, you know, offer me some antibiotics or whatever. But if that is how impersonal it's gotten.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, that right there.

[David Lee Corbo]

And we've been seeing these videos, by the way, that have been going viral on, on, on Twitter recently of people. It'll be like a Somalian migrant, but that what you see is a beautiful blonde woman, you know what I mean? And it's like it's tracking. It's tethered to him perfectly. Its mouth is tethered to his mouth perfectly. Facial expressions and everything. It looks like a real person. So we're already there. You take that technology, you adapt it. AI model. You're calling in your FaceTiming a fake AI doctor. That's just going to. Yeah, I mean, at what point do you chunk enough data we've got. How many people are, are accepting that? 75 an hour to put that in there. Do that across thousands of doctor's offices and you've pretty much got the run of the mill. What people come in, the, the symptoms they describe and then what they're prescribed now have an AI doctor do that.

[Top Lobster]

Let me just say this, Nancy. If you see any interesting comment, because we're, we're deep in conversation. If you see interesting comments, just put a little star on them and then maybe later on in the show we can.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, because this is something I can see. It's resonating with a lot of people. Everybody has, unfortunately, horror experience.

[Top Lobster]

Everybody here is sick. That's why they're watching.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, that's exactly it. But I agree, we're in short order going to see the proliferation of AI doctors and they're going to be prescribing crap.

[Dr. Yared]

There is, there is a active movement of the death of specialty and the death of intricate knowledge. So it's being substituted with algorithms and AI generalization. 25 years ago, you had to be a doctor, do your residency, your subspecialty, to do whatever you needed to do and to have your license to just prescribe the Zithromax Z pack or just prescribe, you know, Lisinopril for hypertension. Now they, after all that effort that you do, now a physician assistant can have two years in college, two years in a virtual. Two years in a virtual college, and maybe one Year of an internship and he's prescribing the same lisinopril I'm doing. He's like, wait a minute, did my half a million dollar investment wasn't worth anything. I could have taken this route. Now so most kids now they have the I want to be a doctor, I want to do. And the first thing that the, the healthcare conscription system does is like, hey, hey, look, you don't have to spend that much time. It's only four years. Yeah, Being a doctor is not that benefit. Doctors are, doctors are. And this is word for word what a, A student told me that his counselor told him doctors don't care. Doctors are impersonal. Be a physician assistant or a nurse practitioner, it'll be shorter and you'll be doing the same thing.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's crazy.

[Dr. Yared]

God damn. It's not the same thing, bro. It's not the same thing. I love those, those, those healthcare, those cogs of the healthcare machine too, you know, they're nurses, respiratory therapists, shout out to them. They're, they're part, they're tentacles of the doctor. The doctor's the main figure because you're the one that has the, the social power. You're the one that has the, the capacity to, you know, make the patient feel safe. And, and you have to have the balls, you have to have the cojones to just sit there and say what you got to say. And when somebody has cancer, you have to sit and take it. When somebody dies in the, in the icu, you have to sit down and say, hey, this is what happened and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and take responsibility for it. Yeah, those systems are not going to have that. So it's increasingly becoming colder, more distant, less contact with people. So at this time, and somebody I read on the side, somebody was mentioning in the chat, how do we find these doctors? It's easy. You go to Google. You go direct primary care doctors or concierge. Concierge is a little bit more expensive. Concierge, you pay a subscription and you get some tests included with that. They might have medication in the, in the office, but it's going to be a lot better than insurance. Direct primary care. Sometimes it's just a small fee a month or like me, I do visit by visit. I don't have any compromise with long term compromise with patients. And I do some other stuff in the clinic, IV stem cells, other stuff that, that I do in the clinic. I also have psychologists in the clinic, so we have to search that out. Have a relationship with your Doctor, find the right one. If you want one with one and it sucked, go find one that really kind of gels with you. You have a relationship with him, with him, and he could treat you across all your different challenges because you'll have different challenges along your lifetime. But you have to have a sole place where you feel comfortable, where you feel kind of that you could share whatever you. Whatever's happening to you, and you're going to get direct care from a doctor. Health systems won't do that ever, Ever. They'll only get more distant, more expensive, and less effective.

[Top Lobster]

That's AI is going to be. I mean, if people talk with AI now and you kind of notice how it gives you what you want to hear a lot of the time, this is. That's like a really dangerous thing. And when you said, like, it's a responsibility of the doctor to go up to the family and say, this is what happened. This is why your loved one's dead. Imagine getting that just like it's writing like, over text or like, like a, an Alexa voice telling you that, like.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, well, what you mentioned there, though, is really important. This idea of, like, it tells you what you want to hear. And psychologically speaking, there are those people out there who are in love with being sick. This idea of like a hypochondriac or, you know, you've been traumatized, that's a.

[Top Lobster]

Huge weight on the, the healthcare system as well. It is people that are just constantly going to the doctor, getting different medications.

[David Lee Corbo]

The vocabulary to articulate it. But, like, I know there's a psychological phenomenon. Some people love it. They love to have something wrong with them. They love that the, the sympathy and empathy that comes from having something wrong with them. They believe that every single thing that feels weird has to be because there's a bigger problem at hand.

[Top Lobster]

Hypochondriac.

[David Lee Corbo]

It's a hypochondriac. But it's like there's, there's. There's a real love for being in that state. And what happens when that person goes to this AI thing and goes, this is what I'm feeling.

[Top Lobster]

This, I mean, I think is for them, like, because it's such a waste of resources when you have like a doctor that's got to see a bunch of people and it's just like the same old lady.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, my thing.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, it's like, yeah, we know.

[David Lee Corbo]

Like, it's like you're 80. Yeah, dude, you got a thing.

[Top Lobster]

We're all, we're all falling apart.

[David Lee Corbo]

I don't Know, I, I, I.

[Dr. Yared]

As I entered into those other patients that I see that the old, older, older patients, I see adults, you know, from 25 and up. But, you know, those patients you deal with to mat. You manage them, if you have a doctor you could go to. Those patients do not come as often to the clinic. But not having someone to answer the.

[David Lee Corbo]

Questions, yeah, they feel well, I'll give them that. Right. You feel like, no, no, this is not because you get dismissed a lot. And that's something that is, you know, really hard. Like, I know that I've been. When I had that collapsed lung, I had been to the doctor I don't know how many times, and it was far and few. Like, it took a lot of visits for them to be like, you got to go and get a scan. There's something wrong. And. And I forgot how they determined it, but initially it was just like, oh, you had like, the, maybe the flu or something. Here's some antibiotics. And it just wasn't getting better. And every time I went boxing or something, I would go. You know, I'd break out into fevers afterwards, and I'd be bedridden for the next few days, then I'd recover, Then I'd go back, and it would be like this cycle. And every time I went to the doctor, the first, like, four visits, they just dismissed me after, like, the fifth one or something, and they, they sent me to go get some sort of scans. They were like, oh, no, you've been walking around with a collapsed lung and you have pneumonia, and. And I was like, that's not what I was told. You know, so there is, it's, it's a, it's a hard thing. It's like, where's the line between telling a doctor there's really something wrong with me and also believing that something's wrong with you when there's not.

[Top Lobster]

There's also, like a. There's a drastic difference. I'm sort like my wife. My wife and your wife. We're always like, oh, this and that. And, like, worry me. I could be like, dying. I'd be like, listen, don't worry about it. We're gonna figure it. And then I'm okay the next couple of days.

[David Lee Corbo]

I don't even like telling my wife when I'm sick because then she gets worried, and then it makes it. I'm just.

[Top Lobster]

And then I feel more sick because she's worried.

[David Lee Corbo]

Nothing's wrong with me. I'm fine. I'm fine.

[Top Lobster]

And then, and then after a while, you are Fine. But, like, there will be the time where it's like, all right, that. Then Now I'm not. You know what I mean? Yeah. We're getting to the age. Yeah, David. Well, we're getting old.

[David Lee Corbo]

Okay, that's fine. I'll allow it. I want to ask you something. There's a whole field of medical study that has erupted after Covid. And that field of medical study is something that, like, I didn't hear about at all. And then I became pretty partial to. Didn't hear about it before COVID And afterwards I was like, maybe this is something that we should be looking at. Seems like other countries look at it. This idea of parasite and how parasites can affect the average person. Is this something that you focus on? Do you think that it's, it's. It's a. A pursuit that the medical industry should be taking more seriously? Because it does seem like other countries do care about parasites.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, I, I'm very. I'm very pro. Patient. So when a patient has a concern, say, you're my patient, you walk in and you want to talk about parasites. I will cater to that. I'll say, hey, this is what we're going to do. We're going to do a fecal smear. We're going to check for parasites. I'm going to mess the day of a pathologist in a lab and say, hey, please check this. This poo for eggs for live parasites. If a patient has a concern, you have to address it. The same thing. The same thing with immunizations. I was on. On the tinfoil with Sam, and yeah, I think at one point, you know, immunizations came up and I'm like, look, I'm. I'm for what the patient wants. We should never impose on a patient, hey, you have to do this point blank. You inform you, this is what the state wants you to do. This is what you can do. And this is my opinion as a doctor. And we could do any of these. Some patients come in, I don't deal with babies. Some patients have a confidence in me and they know me for. For a while, and they're asking me their opinions, like, what do you think? Should I skip this? Should I have a slower schedule of vaccines, kind of space them out a little bit? Yeah, fuck yes. If that's what you want to do. If you have the data to support and you have a discussion with your doctor, absolutely. We should never be, you know, I do. I work with a company that's called Avita for research. For pharmaceutical research. If you have A pill for toe pain. You have to research that for so many years and spend so many millions of dollars. At the end of the day, if two patients die, their FDA is like, sorry, we're not giving you the permission. We need three more years of research.

[Top Lobster]

This is what my wife does right now. She's a clinical research coordinator. Like, but she's the lead of it. So yeah, it's, it's crazy. Like the, the amount of stringent study and like disqualifiers that there are for.

[David Lee Corbo]

Any kind of weird because it feels like that wasn't the case. Well, I guess operation warp speed, you might be able to think, yeah, that was another thing.

[Dr. Yared]

Anytime that the government look the, the people for here, Roosevelt and Franklin, they empowered the insurance, the, the industrial insurance system. PBMs, Medicaid and Medicare. And people talk about, oh, we want Medicare for all. So you want the government to be daddy and take care of your health because they do such a great job with absolutely everything else that you want them to control health? It's insanity. Do you want to have less? You know, lifetime, unless how long your, your lifespan is? Healthcare should be. You should have the capacity to be independent. And we already have Medicare for all. We have the va, we have Medicaid and we have Medicare. Medicare takes care of patients 65 and older, some special needs kids and some people that can't work. They could be on Medicare. Medicaid is funded by federal tax dollars and federal and state tax dollars. And the VA is funded of course by the military complex. So we have a big amount of the population that's already on state sponsored health care. Percentage wise, how big do you think if we put the va, Medicare and Medicaid together, how many of us is that?

[David Lee Corbo]

I would say it's probably like 60 to 70%.

[Top Lobster]

30.

[Dr. Yared]

You're closer really? It's 47% of everybody. So almost half of all of us are in state sponsored insurance. Is their health good? The answer is not. The answer is no. The answer is no.

[David Lee Corbo]

Right.

[Dr. Yared]

There's not good. It's not good. The other half is paying middle class. Right. Which is the rest of the people. Middle class is getting crunched and our deductibles are higher because it helps fund the other. So we're making our life harder to bring mediocre care because the government is not administering that. They say healthcare insurance 1B&C take these funds, you know, help our, our thing. And insurance is like, I'm gonna help them, don't worry. Yeah, you know, I'm gonna Give some Tylenol.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yep.

[Dr. Yared]

We'll be. We'll be right back. We have a helicopter to buy, so it's. We're not doing anything. The thing is we have to take responsibility of our own health. We have to find the means and we have to find a doctor that would help us achieve that or a small group that will help us achieve that. The government is not your friend in any facet. So take care of your health. As a, as a physician, I care about my community, where I live, the patients I, I tend to, and I focus on that. That I don't. I, sometimes I post. I get pissed off, go rage and then I delete. Sometimes I post it and I keep it online for a day or two and. But it's just. It's not going to make a difference. So the difference is getting the message across. How many people have asked in the chat, you know, where do I find these type of doctors? Yeah, but you can't find that they're.

[Top Lobster]

Asking how much the blacks are paying. Don't just ignore this guy.

[David Lee Corbo]

Unbelievable.

[Top Lobster]

People, I wanted to ask you a question.

[Dr. Yared]

Well, I'm half black and my nose is pretty wide. Yeah. I have some other attributes as well.

[David Lee Corbo]

A bad credit score. So. So while you think of that, there's something that I wanted to ask. Right now we find ourselves in the middle of like medical information that's once again being.

[Top Lobster]

That's. Yes. This is where I was going to see. We're working like a hive mind thing.

[David Lee Corbo]

Where you share the same demons, we share the same Paris. So. So it's being politic. Politicized. And it's this idea that acetaminophen is. Has a direct correlation to.

[Top Lobster]

I don't, I don't know if it's acetaminophen. I think it might just be Tylenol specifically.

[David Lee Corbo]

No, it was. It's acetaminophen. So there's PubMed studies. I actually have a couple of them on my phone here. I can just read some of these data titles just to give you an idea. But this is not necessarily something that is new. It's just that this administration is making the claims and so just by virtue of that has become politically polarizing. So we have. Here, let me see.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

Do you put any stock in, in that?

[David Lee Corbo]

Well, here, let's. Let's read a few of these before, before we get into that. PubMed, the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy and the risk of autism spectrum disorder in the offspring. This is 2016. This is study from PubMed. There's another one from a.govncbi.nim.nih.gov the role of oxidative stress, inflammation and acetaminophen exposure from birth to early childhood in the induction of autism. Another one. So they're doing a, A constant correlation. Another one, 2017, Tylenol.

[Top Lobster]

Also, like, they. There's a tweet that said, hey, if you're pregnant, maybe don't take.

[David Lee Corbo]

That was 2017. They said that?

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

And here's another one. Prenatal exposure to acetaminophen and risk of PhD. So they're, they're, they're drawing this correlation, or at least they're finding it reasonable to conduct studies to try to see if there's a correlation there. And this is going as far back as I've got 2016, 2017.

[Top Lobster]

But here's, here's the alarming part. Like it's coming from an administration. A government administration.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah. Immediately invalidates. Immediately, immediately. Because it's. Hey, look at this over here. Yes, look at this, look at this. Tylenol.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

We don't take care. We. We have our, our pregnant women in the workplace.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, yeah. We don't do it literally up until the delivery date.

[Dr. Yared]

We don't, we don't do anything different with their diet. We don't have a system, a social system in place that the community. You're pregnant, Nancy. Just stay the. In your house and you know you're gonna do this for the next nine months. You're bringing another life in here. Do that. Instead you have that distractor of like, hey, Tylenol. That and my worst rfk.

[David Lee Corbo]

That was pretty good, actually. I knew exactly who that was. I thought that was good.

[Top Lobster]

There's no control factors, what you're saying.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, yeah, it's multi factor. The word is multifactorial. Autism is multifactorial. You can say vaccines. You can say, but we're putting so much bad in our kids.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, my God.

[Dr. Yared]

Including everything. Everything from cell phone and everything. And I had. My. My daughter was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism. She was three. And this just. It's changed. Changed my. It changed my world, though. So I'm like, I need to understand this. To this day, I don't understand the reason for autism. What did I do with my daughter? I spent thousands and thousands of dollars learning. Because you can't connect with your body. Yeah, you can't connect with your body. She. She has. She had a massive disconnection with her body. Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

It's a disassociative state.

[Dr. Yared]

It's, it's. And today, day for day, I took her to equine therapy. I took her to all types of therapy. You know the one that worked ballet, she connected with her body through dance, which.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, that's interesting.

[Dr. Yared]

It's kind of cheesy.

[David Lee Corbo]

No, she's been dancing since she was disciplined.

[Dr. Yared]

She's 15 now, so she, she's been 12 years dancing ballet. It allowed her to come out of her shell. She's a normal person, great grade, super responsible, super mature. Yeah, fantastic. A fantastic young lady. But I spent the time, I'm like, I'm not going to work as much. Let's do all this stuff and let's put all our resources.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

Imagine the person that can't have that money. Yeah. You have a kid, that's going to be dysfunctional. And we don't understand the disease process. We don't have a task force on, on how to do that, but we have task force putting information out on Tylenol. I say, hey, here's your distractor.

[David Lee Corbo]

Well, this is, what's interesting to me is like, all right, so we have John Hopkins University, this is 2019, taking Tylenol during pregnancy, associated with elevated risk of autism, adhd. So the point is, this has been going on for a while. Is it necessarily a negative thing when an administration and, and I, I, you know, there's a lot of things. I'm a conspiracy theorist by nature, so don't get me wrong, I'm not championing this administration, highly skeptical of everything that they do. But is it, is it really that damnable when eventually a louder mouthpiece comes along and says what's already been speculated on on a very high level in these reputable medical journals for the better part of what would be about a decade now it's 2025, so the earliest one that I saw is 2026. Who knows how long those studies have been going on? The better part of a decade, this is being said. And now this administration comes along, they say it even louder. And I'm going, what I don't understand is when you see, and I don't know if you've seen this, women, in response to this is whether it's left leaning, Democratic. You were just talking. The opposite side of the political spectrum are now taking Tylenol in videos while pregnant to spite, to stick their nose up at this administration, whereas there was never that sentiment to stick their nose up at a PubMed study or a John Hopkins University study or anything of that nature. Now they see Fit to do it. And I'm just wondering. To me, that seems ridiculous.

[Dr. Yared]

There's a reason behind it.

[David Lee Corbo]

Well, obviously there's a reason behind it. It's an unnecessary risk to your child. It seems like at the very least, it merits a hey, let's pump the brakes and let's look at this.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

Kind of a situation.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

The.

[Dr. Yared]

What I. What I see as a, you know, as a researcher, as a physician, I see. Okay. Tal has been around for more than 50 years. It's been around forever. And the rate of autism has only increased at a certain point, of course, because we got better at diagnosing it, but it's been around forever, so it instantly puts a grain of doubt in my message. We would have seen that, that hike a lot earlier because by the acog, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Tylenol has always been the drug for pain management in pregnancy along. I mean, Advil, not that much, but Tylenol is the one that's safe. And we would have seen a hike in autism cases. Maybe, you know, we didn't have the, the means to diagnose it. We just have that. We just said, you know, in the 70s and six, like, that kid's weird, bro. Yeah. You know, just keep them inside.

[David Lee Corbo]

Just give him Catcher in the Ride.

[Top Lobster]

Some of my uncles, like, when I look at them now, I was like, oh, you got. You have autism.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

You like trains way too much. I did. But you were never diagnosed with it.

[David Lee Corbo]

Well, now, it wasn't to the point where, like, everybody is on the spectrum one way or another. But what you were saying before about this cognitive function and, and let's say, like entertainment in particular, what role that plays in it. If there is. And this is something that, that I know is really, you know, important to you is this idea that the, The, The. The frame, the, The. The. The scene change on a show. Let's say, for example, a children's show has to change at maximum every like eight seconds. So in order to keep the attention of a child, you need to continually change the scene and flash images and get them otherwise, their attention.

[Top Lobster]

I have our show set to.

[David Lee Corbo]

And that's literally the only way that we can keep their attention is this is actually the success of our show is due to this little robot here that changes that. There you go. So, so if. If you in. In those really early years are being trained to focus on an image that changes every eight seconds and. And then it continues on into adulthood where you have tick tock and the idea is like 30 seconds to a minute and then it goes on to the next reel or the next image or whatever. What is that doing to our ability? So, so let's put autism aside and just look at attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. We are in, in, in almost all stimuli being catered to have the attention span of a child, even as an adult. So at what point do you stop and you go, is it a chicken or the egg? Did our psychology change to the degree that they're like, okay, we need to change this really fast for people to pay attention to it? Or is our psychology changing as a response to all of our stimuli being very, very short form?

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah. The effects of, of scrolling. Scrolling entertainment. In 10 years we're going to have data that's going to be so damning, but in 10 years we might have AGI, so it might not even matter. So. But the results are going to be awful. I mean, it's for parents. All, all the parents are, come to my office and sit down. Hey, my kids doing this, this and that.

[David Lee Corbo]

Meanwhile, the kids on a tablet, 100.

[Dr. Yared]

Just take the tablet away. Spend money.

[David Lee Corbo]

Give them a rock.

[Dr. Yared]

Spend money. I was like, what, what is your kid doing after school? Oh, is it home? And no, no, no. Spend money. Grab a kid, put him in sport, art, classical music, piano. Give them a skill, give them your. You have a brain that's developing. You could either be responsible, spend that money and say, hey, I'm gonna, it's gonna suck. I'm still gonna have to take you, pick you up from school. And then afternoon when I'm off a job taking piano class and spend this much money, it's gonna be worth it. Because it's not. You're gonna put a individual in the world, so you have to spend that money. It's your responsibility because you're going to deal with the consequences when you're old, when they do stuff, when they're the shitty stuff.

[David Lee Corbo]

By the way, I think there's a direct correlation between not only that ADHD aspect when it comes to the stimuli, but also the obesity epidemic. Because I notice in my own son, if I allow him to kind of, you know, like, let's say we have like a lazy day, you know, we're not doing anything that day. He's bouncing back and forth between playing a game or watching something. I'll notice that he will continually get up and go to the fridge and get something and then go back and then go to the fridge and get something. And what's Happening here is this stimuli is so low in satisfaction that, that these things are now competing. Whether it's like watching something on tv, playing the game or eating something. These are all low level stimuli. And one is barely better than the other one at any given time. And so he's not satisfied. And he's bouncing back and forth until I got to be like, yo, get that bike, because we got him a bike. And I'm like, go outside. Go to your friend. You got a friend that lives around the corner. Go to your friend. Go get him. Go outside and play. I actually put him out the other day.

[Top Lobster]

The truth is that, like, you don't even have to spend that much money. Like, if you. Right outside my house, there is just a hole. Just a hole.

[David Lee Corbo]

Kids love digging holes.

[Top Lobster]

Digging a hole. They were there for six hours yesterday digging a hole.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, it's not gonna, I'd like to dig a hole.

[Top Lobster]

It's not gonna fill the, the need like that part of them that's going to be like, you know, the problem solving, the creativity part. But we figured out like, for my son, he was also sort of like on the spectrum as well. We, we did some heavy metal detox with them. We did supplemental stuff.

[David Lee Corbo]

We.

[Top Lobster]

And man, he, he, he's a normal kid now, but what he does gravitate towards is puzzles, things like that. Like, he's, he's very analytical in that way. So we put him in Jiu Jitsu because it's a physical puzzle and he's been crushing it. But right before it, right at the kitchen, you were telling me about. Yeah, the prevalence of MRSA and Jiu Jitsu. And now I'm having like some second thoughts.

[Dr. Yared]

No, it's being constant of, of that challenge and saying, okay, I'm gonna, you gotta take, you take a shower. But I know it's cool. So hanging your gi and have everybody see you or in your, your board shorts and be like, I'm a badass.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

But you gotta, you know, change right away. There's, you know, us, the, the pads, the, the soap pads that you could. So you got to teach them how to deal with what the. That's a skill that you have to teach your kid. Hey, when you're sick, and this is something I told my daughter said, when you're, when you have a respiratory infection, when you have a cough and a cold, you gotta, you gotta take care of it.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

You. When this, when you're talking about sex with your kids and you're giving them the talk, it's like hey buddy, there's responsibilities. You can get this, this, that. This is what happens to people that do this, this and that. So you have to have a direct relationship with your kids and say that you can't defer everything to AI and to phones.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

You got to be a present parent and, and just the majority of people. It's so hard for us on day to day grind. Then we gravitate towards. I, I don't blame parents. Like it's, it's easy to have your kid on an iPad, seeing videos in there and then you take a little breather, you're able to kind of decompress. But the, that piece that you have when you're decompressing, not paying attention to your kids. Yeah, it's gonna go away when they do something fucked or where they get sick or where, when they're not successful in their, in their life energy. I sound like an old dude and I am an old guy. But that's, that's what you need to be more present in with your health, your health, when your kids health, you got to take responsibility for it. Don't give that responsibility to the state because the state will do you wrong. 150.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, but it's the state that's grinding you down, right? It's demanding that you get two incomes going on because the economy's so bad, so both the wife and the husband have to go out or you're a single parent, you know, household or whatever the case.

[Top Lobster]

Listen, you're gonna pay. You're gonna pay.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

Either way you're hard.

[Dr. Yared]

Right?

[David Lee Corbo]

So pick your hard.

[Top Lobster]

Which, which, when do you want to pay?

[David Lee Corbo]

I know which one is gonna make you feel less like on your deathbed, you know what I'm saying? Like that one is definitely the, the, the entertainment is really hard too because the short form content makes it so that like if, if my kid wants to watch a show on let's say like Hulu or something, and I know the show, you know what I mean? Like I, I like to make him watch and he's not. Well, he can be a fan of it, but there's a lot of times where he's not. Old shows that I used to watch because I already know them, I've already vetted them, I already know what they're about. So like, you know, we'll go back and watch stuff from the early 2000s or the 1990s or whatever. So he's been watching like the old school Spider man, he man stuff that I already know. Right? Because the Problem is with the short form content, even if it's a new show and I watch some of it with him and I go, okay, this seems reasonable, you know, from episode to episode that changes. They could in, they could bring in something, inject some sort of a concept. Like I saw one, for example, the other day. I'm scrolling through Twitter and I know I've seen this show on Netflix, but he's not watched it. But there's like a whole trans character. It's, it's. And it's marketed for seven and up. Seven and up, right. And, and it's a trans character talking about how they're just living their truth and doing all this other things. So now that isn't like the theme of the show, but you can get that one episode. So even that's hard. Try doing it when it's short form content. You're gonna sit over their shoulder and watch a 60 second clip. A 60 second clip. A 60 second Clip. You step away for a half an hour. Then they've been subjected to 30 different pieces of media that you've not vetted. You have no idea what they just saw in the cycle. Right. So whether it's like YouTube reels or some crap like that, YouTube shorts they are subjected to, it's like, it literally is MK Ultra, right? Where you're like in the chair and you're just getting, and they're flashing all these images in front of you. And 16 of them could have been trans or 16 of them could have just been horrible messaging in general for a young developing mind. It is. And then couple that with just all the stresses of, of this thing, that thing work, the everyday comings and goings of life and then layer on top of that. And I'm, you know, it's not a black pill or anything, but I'm just saying, layer, layer on top of that, now understand health and nutrition.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

Now understand how to raise your child in a healthy way. Now understand how to navigate the healthcare system. Like I do sympathize with people. It's kind of crazy to imagine that the average person who's working a 9 to 5 could, you might be able to master like one of these things or two of these things. But we're being crushed. It's like Tripoli says, right? Pressure from above, pressure from below.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

It's like every which way, step out, you gotta step out, you gotta get some, I don't know, property, move away, you know, get off and, and get away from the system. If you can homeschool your Kids. Because even if you don't look at it like they're all nefarious systems that are pitted out to ruin your family, it's like just the, the. What would you call it?

[Dr. Yared]

The.

[David Lee Corbo]

The negligence of all these systems that's going to ruin you.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah. You have to be involved. If you buy your food from only restaurants and fast foods, you'll have shitty health. Get the ingredients you cook. Some of them might be Monsantoed, but you're going to be a lot better than doing that. What makes you think that your kids are different? You got to be.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

Hands on. What makes you think that your health is different? That the government's going to have your back and they're going to treat your health well? No, no. It's your responsibility. We got to be responsible for. And I see these young, these young people with, with these thought processes and, and partisan mind. It's like, get that the. Out of your head. Yeah. No political party is going to have your best interest. There's no world where AOC puts anything out productive for society. If she's not a politician, it's. She. What's the skill? Nothing. Right.

[Top Lobster]

So she, She's a bartender.

[Dr. Yared]

Smartly went very, very methodically went into politics. I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be rich here and I'm gonna use these hot button topics. You and I know she really doesn't believe in all that. She just wants a nice life.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

Cushy life. Comfortable, individualistic.

[David Lee Corbo]

At the expensive.

[Dr. Yared]

Don't follow those people. They're looking out for their family and their life and their legacy. We are. We had to do the same thing. We got to step out of that partisan mind and stop that stupid. And sometimes we get drawn in it. But you gotta. The only, the only place where you can affect real change in your family, in your. In your community and the people. You know, you gotta call your friends retarded sometimes so they don't do stupid. You got to call them out and you got to take care of the business that you got to take care of in your small circle. If enough of us do that, we start bubbling out and merging bubbles and just creating spots where. Where things are more bearable. It's gonna suck. No, but things become more bearable when you, when you have that and you have good food, you have a good spot to live at. Your kids are taken care of. So you. Little by little, you improve if you think big. No, I want to change the. Yeah, you're not gonna change the world.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

Posting a. A Flag, you know, of whatever flag you want to post.

[David Lee Corbo]

It's not going to change.

[Dr. Yared]

People don't get triggered, you know.

[David Lee Corbo]

No, no, no.

[Dr. Yared]

Any flags. Any flags you post is not going to change anything. Any slogan that you're going to post is not going to change anything. The only thing is the things that you do when you turn off that phone and the Twitter and all that stuff and do the work with your close community. If you want to have a weird ass community where everybody has weird colored hair and you do. Sweet. Yeah. Do that. But like on your own, you know, and. And you're good.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

Let me ask you something.

[Dr. Yared]

Fine.

[Top Lobster]

You had mentioned at the, like, close to the top of the show about IV infusions. You said every October. You should. You said we should be doing this monthly.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, that's interesting.

[Dr. Yared]

When you put on iv, their food. It's all about food, right? The. The food. And by the way, RFK for saying that doctors have to learn more about nutrition. You and your weird voice. We learn about.

[Top Lobster]

Enough.

[Dr. Yared]

What are you talking about? The government approves AI in. In medicine and. And PAs and NPS. You Africa. I just wanted to get that out of my.

[Top Lobster]

What did he say about. About nutrition?

[Dr. Yared]

That he. He was putting a law in place. Of course, you know, that's how politicians improve us. So that med students would have to learn more about nutrition. And just like, how about people affording good food, not us learning because we learn so much. Of course we learn some stuff about nutrition. We're not the best, you know, and even Joe Rogan has shot on notches for no, no. Not knowing about nutrition. Like, hey, we know about diabetic ketoacidosis and how to treat it in the icu. You. You could talk about cucumbers. I don't give a. Like you. You have to be specialized in what you do. I get it. Nutrition is important, but you have to be able to. To eat clean. What was your question? I just.

[Top Lobster]

That makes sense. Listen, go to a nutritionist is what you're saying is. Yeah, go to a doctor for. Doctor. Yeah, yeah, I get it. No, I was, I was just asking about the frequency of IV infusions that we should be. That we should be doing. Because my. When my wife was sick, we were doing IV infusions multiple times a week to get her back on her feet, but I haven't done one since. And it seems like we do supplementation. Like we have a bunch of vitamins, but I don't know if that's a better route.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah. The, the good thing about IV infusions is that you're getting directly in your vascular compartment, right? If I, if I give you a B12, I say, hey, top, hey, B12, it has to go to your digestive tract, be absorbed, go to liver, be absorbed by the parietal cells to make the intrinsic factor to go in the, and some of that goes into your bloodstream. If I put an IV catheter in you and I give you that methylated B12 with an IV bag, it goes directly to your bloodstream, and you get the benefits immediately we'd have without involving your liver, without involving your gastrointestinal tract. So we're giving you resources that are immediate. So IV infusions. With winter and change of, of of the seasons comes different challenges. There's more infections because there's less daytime. People are crowded places more. The kids are in school, and they're exchanging bacteria and viruses. So people get sick more often.

[Top Lobster]

Does it have anything to do with the temperature?

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, temperature, less exposure to the sun, daylight, Daylight savings time. All that stuff puts stressors on our life. So we are super prone and primed to get infections and to get sick. That's why we have that flu that's seasonal and, and you know the, the.

[Top Lobster]

Coronavirus, and so you're not a terrain guy. I know Sam. Sam's like, very, he's very much on board with that. Whereas, like, I was the terrain. Are you familiar with that theory?

[Dr. Yared]

Wait, no. Give me the nutshell. All right?

[Top Lobster]

I think terrain theory is that these, that, I think they exist within us, but they only become prevalent when our body, like, allows it to. This is what this. I, I, I'm butchering. I'm butchering.

[Dr. Yared]

We, we do have a population of bacteria, okay? Like, we have a beta. We have streptococcus in our throat that potentially could give us strep throat. Yeah, but strep lives in our throat already. It's when we have our immune system goes down. Let's say you go to a night of drinking and you just drunk, wasted, dehydrated, and then you sleep on your back and you're snoring and your throat gets dry, it cracks up, that strep goes in there, you got a strep throat, and you think you made out with Lucy and she. Oh, man, that chick gave me strep. No, you had it. But you put your body in so much stress that it got sick. So the same thing with all these viruses. It's just you're primed and prone to Be ill and have these ailments and there's multiple factors in it. It might be season, it might be how you're treating your body at that time and you get sick. It seems that that's what terrain therapy and terrain theory might be. I don't, I'm not familiar with it, but the same thing with like the genitals have candida and the female in the vaginal canal has candida, which is a fungus. It's a normal fungus to be there when there's a ph imbalance. Let's say you have intercourse and no, and nobody took a shower. Everybody just soaked in and walked away to work next morning.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, yeah, Nice.

[Dr. Yared]

Bringing back memories, huh? So you have that and then you get a little red rash on your glans in the tip of the penis and you're like, oh my God, this. You know, Vivian gave me an std.

[Top Lobster]

What's going on?

[Dr. Yared]

And no, no, no, it's just a fungal infection that was opportunistic because you were unkind to your body and you didn't do the right hygiene and then you got sick. So. And then you have a good doctor to confide in and you get treatment. So. But for the IVs is giving your body resources. You can't have all the B12. How much steak can you eat in a week if you're a regular person? How much vegetables are you going to cram in to have all the water soluble vitamins? How much cucumber? People are going to go easy. I'm just going to have a burger and sweet potato fries. I'm healthy. I'm ordering the sweet potato fries. They're good though. So having an IV at least once a month gives your body all the water soluble vitamins, a little bit of glutathione and antioxidant vitamin C, like high dose vitamin C. I'm a firm believer. And there's a lot of studies on the inhibition of virus replication with vitamin C. So it's. If you do that, I guarantee you that you can have good outcomes, that you're going to get sick less, your body's going to feel fantastic after a good iv and you're going to perhaps waste less money because if you get sick like you got sick on still, still the pulmonary abscess.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

How does your body work when you're giving it the right things? We have all the code, we have everything, all the information. For your body to work perfectly in your body, you just have to give it the right resources. Right.

[David Lee Corbo]

Do you Find that.

[Top Lobster]

Wait, wait. Sorry.

[David Lee Corbo]

Go ahead.

[Top Lobster]

As far as, like, pricing. Pricing goes, can the normal person afford a monthly IV dose?

[Dr. Yared]

Absolutely. You find. You can find an IV clinic, right? Those IV. IV bars. You could find a doctor that has an IV. I have IVs in the office. An IV would cost you around. The most basic would cost you around 75. You know, a really, really expensive one because you're around 125, 130.

[David Lee Corbo]

And this is only once a month that you need to do this.

[Dr. Yared]

Once a month.

[Top Lobster]

It's your insurance payment. I mean, less than that.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, less. A fraction.

[David Lee Corbo]

And at least, you know, it's. It's actually going directly towards your health care.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

Instead of going to some, you know, amorphous pile of money that you won't have access to when the time comes, you could get.

[Dr. Yared]

You can have a health savings account, an hsa. And this is. This is one of the tips that I wanted to give. You can have a hsa. An HSA takes money and puts it in your account in a special account with a. At. With a debit card, and it stays there. Your deductible goes away. Let's say you made that $6,500 deductible by December with most people get to it.

[David Lee Corbo]

Whoops up.

[Dr. Yared]

No.

[David Lee Corbo]

And they just pull it away.

[Dr. Yared]

If you put 60. If you put those 6,500 in a HSA, it's gathering a percentage, it's interest, and it rolls over to the next year. So if you want to get a surgery, if you want to get some, you know, some nice tits.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

You can put it towards that.

[Top Lobster]

David's been looking.

[David Lee Corbo]

I've actually been.

[Dr. Yared]

That's why I mentioned we were talking about it.

[David Lee Corbo]

I know. I said I'm trying to reduce my. My nice tits.

[Top Lobster]

We should do that with our. With the Nephilim Death squad.

[Dr. Yared]

Fun third nipples, everybody.

[David Lee Corbo]

We should. Honestly, I would love to go get monthly IV infusions or. I think that's a great idea because I'm tired of feeling like I. I wonder.

[Dr. Yared]

If we do our next podcast. I'll bring all. Everybody will have Ivy 10 poles while we do this.

[David Lee Corbo]

What do I do when I got a piss?

[Top Lobster]

I just will.

[David Lee Corbo]

Colossy Venice.

[Dr. Yared]

I could bring. I could bring diapers, too.

[David Lee Corbo]

Awesome. I like the warm feeling. So. So I'm wondering, since you're dealing with fighters who are in the gym and you say MRSA is basically a constant in the gym, and I know from my own experience, when you go in there, it smells a very particular way and depending on what gym I've been to a lot of MMA gyms, depends on feet. How there's not just feet too, but it's like also like, how are they cleaning this place? Some places are a lot more thorough than other places. Right.

[Dr. Yared]

Give you a morbid piece of information.

[David Lee Corbo]

Okay. Not enough. They're not cleaning it enough.

[Dr. Yared]

Jiu Jitsu gyms smell exactly like burn wards. Real.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, that's crazy.

[Top Lobster]

Not the one that, not the one I bring my kids to.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's what that smell is.

[Dr. Yared]

Whoa. When people get burned in the hospital, what's the bacteria on top of the skin? It's mrsa. So you smell like.

[David Lee Corbo]

It smells the same smell.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah. Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

So that's gross. As. Now what I'm wondering is, are you seeing how are the, the immune systems of fighters in comparison to like the average person?

[Dr. Yared]

There's some fighters that do it well. If you fight close to your weight, your, your top shelf, if you do a massive weight cut to reach to a weight, to have weight advantage, your immune system is jacked. That's why we see so many fight cancellations in the ufc because people want to be weight bullies and they want to have that weight advantage. They don't fight close to their walk around weight and then they have bad outcomes. That's why the Diaz brothers were always, you know, great and, you know, had a lot of fights because they fought close to the weight, they didn't cut a lot of weight. Yeah, it's great. Champions like BJ Pan back in the day, you know, now has Capgrass syndrome and has a serious neurological disease that thinks that people are replaced with, with, I'm not sure.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, his mother was replaced or something.

[Top Lobster]

Like that, or seeing the stories. Listen, she might have been, we don't know, could have been, you know, look at her ass. It's not my mom's ass.

[Dr. Yared]

Hawaiian people, they get ugly as they age.

[David Lee Corbo]

Well, that's the thing.

[Top Lobster]

No.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

Shout out to the Hawaiians.

[Dr. Yared]

Shout out. You can find me in Tampa if you want to fade. Is it Puerto Rican in me? It just came out.

[David Lee Corbo]

I mean, I think that's true though. They are pretty. Look, I, I, Whatever's going on with BJ Pen is, is one thing, but I think that that's probably pretty accurate. Right. The weight cut is going to compromise your immune system. But I'm wondering, like, are you seeing the average fighter struggle with, you know, infection or, or let's say respiratory issues more than the average person, the non fighter.

[Top Lobster]

I've seen like female fighters I'll let you answer. But it seems like female fighters suffer the worst. Like between the weight cuts and then whatever else is going on in their body, these guys can't seem to regulate. And they all seem to.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, hormonally. Hormonally. I mean, when you're a professional athlete, you're a female. Yeah. You're suppressing a lot of the excretion of estrogen, having less body fat because body fat is, you know, it's estrogen active. So that's, that's what happens when you have runners and fighters. They don't get their periods, so they kind of flip their hormones and that's, they get a lot of trouble from it. But most fighters are healthier than the average person because they pay a little bit more attention.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

Like, they have the challenges, they have the mrsa, they have the, the, in the, the traumatic, the cte.

[David Lee Corbo]

Sure, sure.

[Dr. Yared]

All that stuff. But comparing it to it. That's why most people that are not fighters that get involved in, like, I want to go to a multi, you know, 52. I want to go to a Muay Thai gym and, you know, and, and learn Muay Thai. You'll get healthier. You. Eventually, if you stay long enough, your abdomen is going to get flat, you're going to feel really great. And it. Combat sport, that's why it's so popular, because practicing it makes you really healthy. And if you do jiu jitsu and you're doing the acai bowls and all.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

And it's expensive as hell.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Dr. Yared]

It's like 500amonth in fees and equipment and injuries that you're gonna get, but you're gonna get a lot healthier.

[David Lee Corbo]

I was wondering about that because I remember after, you know, after the whole cancer thing and then the pneumonia, I was kind of confused because I was like, dude, I'm in. At the time, I was like in some of the best shape of my life and these things were happening to me and I was like, let me find out that there's a correlation between, like, yeah, sure, I was in good shape physically, but I was being exposed to this thing or that thing. But I think it was likely just the, the cancer that really screwed up my immune system. But that, that is interesting because, yeah, it's a trade off. Right. I mean, when you look at it financially and sure, you're gonna have those injuries and things like that, but it, it's a kind of a funny catch 22 that you're going and beating the. Out of yourself, but also you're increasing your health.

[Top Lobster]

I stopped for that reason because it's like I was getting injuries to like my, my groin area specifically. I don't know if something about the movement and then I had to go build tracks at night.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh yeah.

[Top Lobster]

I simply can't do it.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, fighters are healthy because they're, they're training and they're not putting their body in any other stress. And when I'm doing it, when they're doing it, the progress professional like Joel Romero, like that guy is.

[David Lee Corbo]

Well, he's something, there's something different.

[Top Lobster]

He's built. Yeah, different.

[David Lee Corbo]

He's built, he's actually built different.

[Dr. Yared]

Superhero. But us, you know, I have to be a doctor, let me go to Jiu Jitsu in the afternoon and I'm not going to be as present and taking care of my body, like do these IVs and peptides and I'm going to have a meal prep system. Yeah, I could, but just lot of work and then it works like that. So when you do combat sports and you take the extra steps to take care of your body, then, then things get really, you might have been pushing your body to a limit and not giving it enough resources to deal with the stressors.

[David Lee Corbo]

Well, that's a, that's a hard thing too because I was pretty knowledgeable about health and nutrition and I still am, although I'm not implementing any of it. And I'm also, you know, pushing really hard on the fitness front. But these are like two schools of thought. Like these are two in depth topics that you have to learn about. And then because I have no formal schooling, it's like, oh, that's not working. Got to tweak this a little bit. That's not working. Let me tweak that and let me pull this out and try introducing that. And so it's all like learning on the fly. It's something that, you know, we get taught a plethora of things in school and so many of them are useless, especially within the public school system. I, I think obviously more just fundamental knowledge on like health and nutrition and, and, and you know, fitness would be, it would go a long way. But otherwise, you know, you have basically podcasts. That, that was my learning mechanism for all of this was like podcast and, and then I'm at the mercy of whoever the guest is and, and I'm just trying to implement this new thing and see how that feels. But it's, it's hard man. It's, it's not easy and, and that is being driven towards that Thing we already laid out all the things that are pitted against the average person. You don't really have time for that. So it, it's, it's difficult.

[Top Lobster]

Sounds like a lot of excuses to me, David.

[David Lee Corbo]

It definitely. What do you, what do you want to see from the medical industry at large? Like, if you could implement some fundamental changes across the board on the medical system that we have here in the west, what would some of those things be?

[Dr. Yared]

I would. What I want to see is younger physicians that get inspired and say, hey, I want to bring my personal brand of medicine within the guidelines, but my personal brand of medicine. And I'm going to take my time to build a patient base. I'm going to delay that instant gratification of having a $20,000 a month salary, but it's going to be. The salary is going to be bigger, but I'm going to build a community and I'm going to be working for my community of patients that is going to obligate the corporate systems to compete. Right now there's no competition. Yeah, there's none. There's none. If enough of us have this alternate system that patients can trust and say, hey, you know, maybe you want to, maybe you want a big campus hospital. And that's what. And that's fine. You know, we have our independence of thought. No, no, no, no. I trust, you know, I, I trust the bad bunny hospital. I want to go to the bad bunny hospital. And the bad bunny hospital is, is a large campus. They have great music. I see. AI, But I mean, it's great. Good. Do you. But we have this other environment, this other environment that you could get care for this different. If enough of us do that, we become undeniable and they have to compete and at least improve their standards a little bit, become a little bit more human and more affordable. But right now with that law, that Obamacare law, we can't own hospitals, we can't compete with them because the government says, no, no, no, no. There's a, you know, they want that lobby money. But, you know, eventually it will come. I think it will come. And, and we will be able to create this alternate environment where people feel safe and people love it and hospitals will have to copy it and, and have it. Have it as well. That, that. I want that to happen.

[Top Lobster]

I want that to happen too, man. Because like, like I said, when I look at doctors in general.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

I'm immediately skeptical.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

And it shouldn't be that way.

[David Lee Corbo]

The past five years really did that, guys.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

I mean, you know, You. You busted your ass to do what you did and be where you're at and accrue the knowledge that you had. But there's people out there that are just following orders, people that are just lying. There's people that just want to be part of that big system. And it's at the behest of, you know, I mean, people are suffering for it. So now I'm like, I don't. I don't even know what to do. I. I dismiss them as a whole. And that's not the right thing. That's, like, stupid on my part as well.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's a baby with the bath water.

[Top Lobster]

It's a. Yeah, I know, but, like, I'm gonna. We're in a situation where I'm kind.

[David Lee Corbo]

Of like, drastic times, drastic measures.

[Top Lobster]

Like, what am I gonna get? Like, generally from a doctor, you're going to get the prescribed response of xyz. You're not even going to get. You're not going to get critical thinking or thinking out outside of what's allowed.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

Of what they're told.

[David Lee Corbo]

I have a.

[Top Lobster]

And it's a relief talking to. To you because you have opinions about things that are not just the standard conventional outside of, you know, right out of college. This is what. This is what I'm told. This is what the textbook said you must do. It's like, we need more of that.

[Dr. Yared]

And. And they're.

[Top Lobster]

And that will instill faith in the. The doctors, the people.

[David Lee Corbo]

It's.

[Top Lobster]

It's freaking worrying, man. Like, who do you go to for advice? Who do you go to for this that actually matters? Like, like you said, they. They actually do know.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

But I'm like, I'm hesitant to ask. I'm hesitant to even approach these guys because anecdote. I went to my childhood doctor for my. My son when he was messed up, and all he wanted to do was just like, diagnose vaccines. And I was like, no, no, Doc. Like, like, he's. He's sick. Like, we. We need help. He's having behavioral issues. And he was like, he's not up to date on his back. And I was just like, this is not a system I can be a part of. And. And it's hurting everybody because this guy has a wealth of knowledge and I. And it's just like, inaccessible for whatever reason. I cannot access the. The part that actually matters from this dude. And it's like, it's a travesty.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

So the competition, we need that because that will make these doctors that are in that system Actually have to. Doctor.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah. And the only way that we, we get that is we, we need people like you to actually look at that fork in the road where you go, become part of the system or take this thing. Well, it's not a gigantic risk.

[Top Lobster]

Not just him, but it's people that are going to be watching that have to become aware of the option. They don't. They're not.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, yeah.

[Top Lobster]

Necessarily aware. So they have to choose that. And then once they see, once other doctors see, oh, look at the success. Like this is an option.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah. They have to see it's a viable path.

[Dr. Yared]

Yep.

[Top Lobster]

And then that proliferates, and then you start to multiply, extrapolate on that, and, and then you change.

[Dr. Yared]

When I started four or five years ago with this endeavor, and it was, it was around the time I, I, I appeared on the tinfoil.

[Top Lobster]

That's when I first saw you. And I was like, this guy is great. I love this dude.

[Dr. Yared]

We, I started at first, I was seeing one or two patients. I blew through my savings, but I was like, I don't care, you know? And the cheesy burn, the boats thing, that.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, but that's it. That's it. You're either doing it or you're not doing it.

[Dr. Yared]

You either. Are you all in or not?

[David Lee Corbo]

Right.

[Dr. Yared]

I quickly under. I'm like, people are now taking care of me. People are, I treated one patient. Great. And people were skeptical. They're like, are you really a doctor? I'm like, yeah, like, diploma. I'm a doctor. Yeah. They're like, but $50, that's. That's nothing. And I'm like, I could charge you a hundred if you want.

[David Lee Corbo]

Right.

[Dr. Yared]

It makes you feel better. But the, the more and more. And I started with two, three patients. Now five years later, I have a panel of 700 patients.

[David Lee Corbo]

Nice. That's awesome.

[Top Lobster]

Good.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's great that 700 people found you. That means 700 people have broken away from this parasitic system.

[Top Lobster]

How are you, how are you finding the, how are they finding you? Is it like local stuff or is.

[David Lee Corbo]

It word of mouth?

[Dr. Yared]

Word of mouth.

[David Lee Corbo]

Wow.

[Dr. Yared]

I held back. I'm like, I'm not gonna go through the Facebook, Instagram. I'm not gonna pay some, some tech bro in Cali to do some cheesy reels for me. I'm gonna do my own social media like, you see on my ig. I do my own. I even post rap videos of me. I post the random as. Nothing having to do with my personal practice. This. You like me as a Person, you know, Come. Come here. Find out what we got in the clinic going on. That's pret. Colon. Oh, go up. Go. Go up a second there. Look at that there. Go up. Go higher, higher, higher. There's a knee somewhere around there without an acl. That's so gnarly. Right there to the left.

[David Lee Corbo]

A knee without acl.

[Dr. Yared]

Oh, take a look at it. Take a look at it.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, no. Is that an injury or is that just.

[Dr. Yared]

That's an old injury.

[David Lee Corbo]

Just born this way, baby.

[Top Lobster]

Damn, dog.

[Dr. Yared]

Well, you're so flexible.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's crazy, man. Well, I think that part of the game is. Is going to be. I'm glad that word of mouth is what worked for you, because that's. That's pretty much all we have. If. If people are shocked by the system and they want to detach from it, they're going to start looking for things, and it's only going to be, you know, kind of podcast or who's telling your story, and not only is it great for the patient, but like Top said, it's like, you need to show that your model can be successful.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

So that these people who are. It's still. You know, it's still going to feel like a risk until this alternative system that you're a part of gets built up enough that people will feel comfortable.

[Top Lobster]

This is the same thing. My story. It's like, my dad. I really good job, mta. And my dad's like, do that until you retire. Until you die, they're going to continue to pay you. You have a guaranteed paycheck. They can't fire you. And I was like, I hate this. Yeah. And I can't kill your life. Yeah. I can't do it.

[Dr. Yared]

And.

[Top Lobster]

And he's like, what are you gonna do? And I'm like, I'm gonna do my own thing. And it's like, well, what does that look like? Has anyone else done that? I'm like, no. No one else is doing it.

[David Lee Corbo]

And.

[Top Lobster]

And he's like, that's stupid. You got a family. And I was like, just trust me. Just watch. Watch what? I. I mean, and then I. You just do it. You just be brave. Take the step out there. Which you didn't.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

I love. Maybe it's a Puerto Rican thing. Shout out Puerto Rico. That's why trash things. It is a trash island, but it's a. It's a.

[Dr. Yared]

There's. There's plantains.

[Top Lobster]

Look, it's a trash.

[David Lee Corbo]

It's a trash island.

[Dr. Yared]

I think plantains might have. So if you eat toton and mofongo, eventually you'll become one of us.

[David Lee Corbo]

I had mofongo once, and I was up. I was very upset, actually. I don't remember what mo is, but it was very bland, and I was very upset.

[Dr. Yared]

Oh, it needs to be an older lady doing it.

[David Lee Corbo]

You know what it was I went into? It was a Puerto Rican restaurant, but everybody that seemed to work there was white.

[Top Lobster]

Well, there's your first sign. There's your sign, dog.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah, it was the guy the place had to offer. It was a mountain town, and they were trying to bring a little bit of something different to the small, sleepy town. And then some white people bought mofongo, and it wasn't good. All right, so maybe I judged a little hasty, but it's fine.

[Top Lobster]

We'll bring you to Puerto Rico.

[Dr. Yared]

And there's Dylan. Okay.

[David Lee Corbo]

One of your fine. My fungos.

[Top Lobster]

Can you tell the people where they can find you again? And we'll. I want to respect. Unless you want to hang out for a little bit more, but I want to respect your time. I don't want to keep you forever.

[Dr. Yared]

If people. My Instagram is@Octagon Doctor this. Oh, just. No, it's in screen. Octagon Doctor. You can reach out on Facebook. I'm Dr. Yared. It's @ D R Y A R E D. Those are the main places. I mean, I have two YouTubes, Dr. Yari Vlog and Octagon Doctor as well. But Instagram's the quickest. Be bold. If you have a health question, just send me a DM if I can answer. Right there.

[Top Lobster]

Go follow. If you're. If you're a fight fan. If you're just a fight fan to follow them too. Because when there's a nasty cut in the ufc. He's old.

[Dr. Yared]

Oh, that one in the middle is from pro box.

[Top Lobster]

This one here?

[Dr. Yared]

That one here.

[Top Lobster]

Check this out.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah, so I post all my stuff, like suturing the fighters and doing all that. All that, all that jazz, you know, I do bare knuckle stuff. I do pfl. I do ufcs when they're here in Tampa.

[David Lee Corbo]

So that's awesome.

[Dr. Yared]

I've been doing that for 13 years. So that's my passion. I can no longer fight or. Or do any of those things meaningful. So I. I take care of the people that fight. So that's.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's meaningful, dog. That's meaningful, especially for them. Will you come out to the next Bohemian Grover? Looking at February, March, I think it would be really cool to have you.

[Dr. Yared]

I'll do the following. I'm gonna do the first super hippie Bohemian Grove clinic. Last time I wanted to do like a free cannabis card table.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo]

It's just everything got so crazy leading up to it with the cancellation of the venue and everything. That's what happened. We lost that theater and everything went nuts. But what do you. What do you want to set up.

[Dr. Yared]

A. I want to set up a table where people go get refills. I bring my nurses and they take care of people. You need a medication refills, you know. But we're gonna go full. What. What's the other big festival and then the sand Burning Man. What Burn man doesn't do. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna do. So we're gonna have free health care for the people that come to the Bohemian Grove.

[David Lee Corbo]

That'd be awesome. I think that's really.

[Top Lobster]

Let's talk about if you got. If you got a minute, if you want to stop by the coffee shop. Because day one will. Will be in the coffee shop for a small vip, but there might be something to do there too. Like a very cool, more down intimate environment.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

I love it.

[Dr. Yared]

Yeah. If people want to learn more about the clinic, my DMs are always open. No dick pics please, now. Yeah, but any health question you have, send it over. If you're in Florida, you can be my patient. Even if you don't go to the clinic, we can take care of you virtually. Colds, coughs, everything. And we do it one flat price. Nobody else is doing it that way. That's just 50 bucks.

[David Lee Corbo]

That's awesome, man. There you go.

[Top Lobster]

You have a doctor now.

[David Lee Corbo]

Yeah. Will you be my doctor? Because something's wrong.

[Top Lobster]

Will you. Will you be my dog?

[David Lee Corbo]

Will you be my doctor?

[Dr. Yared]

If they saw you. If they saw us here in the Nephilim squad there, it's gonna be 40 their first.

[David Lee Corbo]

Oh, there you go. Promo code blap.

[Top Lobster]

All right, Dr. Yary, thank you for hanging out. And guys, we're gonna wrap up the stream. We'll hang out with Dr. Jared a little bit more. But until next time, don't forget to obey, submit and comply.

[David Lee Corbo]

We'll just.

[Dr. Yared]

On planet Earth is a oblong box in the corner of of the room. It is constantly telling us what to believe is real. You can persuade this that what they see with their eyes is what there is to see. Because they'll laugh in the face of an explanation that portrays the bigger picture of what. And they have.
