Hello everyone, this is Dr. Michael Greger coming to you live from my treadmill Here to answer your questions as I do every month both on Facebook, which I just did earlier today and here on YouTube Looks like there's already a bunch of questions. Let me just introduce myself really quick for those of you I'm familiar with my work every year. I read through every issue of every language English language nutrition journal in the world So busy folks like you don't have to I think can follow the most interesting the most groundbreaking most facts-confining some new videos Not if I said float every day to my non-profit site nutrition facts.org everything a website is free There are no ads no corporate sponsorships strictly non-commercial Not saying anything just put up as a public service as a labor of love as a tribute to my grandmother who survived Her brush with death thanks to evidence-based Nutrition, which is why I do what I do today looks like it's a lot of questions already up here I'm just gonna start at the top and go down and reach as many possible ones as I can Intra limpidus Limpidus asks is it bad to eat the same thing every day even if it fits into your daily dozen For those you weren't familiar with my daily dozen if you there's a free iPhone and Android app Dr. Greger's daily dozen basically the second half of my latest book how not to die Senders my recommendations around a daily dozen checklist of things. I encourage people to include in their daily diet like berries every day the healthiest fruits greens every day the healthiest vegetables you know Tablespoon of ground flax seeds every day corn tea spoon of turmeric the best beverages the best sweeteners How much exercise to get answering all those questions in hopes of just inspiring people to? Improve their diet to eat some of the healthiest foods to crowd out some of the less healthy options So is it okay to eat berries every day not only is it okay? I encourage every berries every day now if the question is is okay to just eat blueberries every day never eat any other Kind of berries ideally we have as much diversity their diet as possible But not diversity enough to expand our fruit intake to fruit loops, but staying within whole foods whole plant foods Rose agrees obviously after having seen a squirrel apparently And so yes berries every day any kind of berry ideally mix it up Jack asks how does total fat intake matter? Oh does total didn't take matter if all fats come from plants How much plant fat is too much plant fat? It's the source of fat.  Absolutely in fact nuts are on my daily does I encourage people eat an ounce of nuts palm full nuts every day Well, that's probably the healthiest nuts And so it's not low-fat versus high-fat. It's Sources of fat. It's just like carbohydrates, right as Dr. David Katz likes to say carbohydrates are lentils and lollipops, right? What does that mean to say carbs? Okay, we don't eat macronutrients. We eat food. And so what foods are healthy what foods are not healthy? That's what I go into with my traffic light the system In and my daily doesn't in the second half of the book Okay, intra Limpidus is back asking do I recommend seven hours of sleep a day? But is that the same for adolescents? It's a good question. I don't think there's any studies on Chronic disease risk and sleep in adolescence there might be some unlike ADHD or some other issues that's something I've not looked into but I will look into it Thank you so much for your question. Jack is back asking.  If you have any other questions, please line them up Mac McLeod, I believe that's how you pronounce that Ask how much hibiscus flower in teaspoon tablespoon per day? Do I recommend how much amla powder? Do I recommend? So I encourage people so for people like what am I talking about? They in terms of beverages the best beverages I highlight three As the most health-component one is water plain water The other is an herbal tea called hibiscus and other is green tea or white tea As the three healthiest beverages So and hibiscus tea has particular benefits for our blood pressure some other things something that I drink Every day although I just actually got back from about three weeks on the road and so The hibiscus is steeping. It's yet to To to finish, but then I will be drinking hibiscus as long as I stay home. Um, what? Basically, I get the whole hibiscus like sepals the flowers In bulk I throw a handful and maybe two quarts of water Um, and then just let it steep but you can see it turns this bright sherry kool-aid looking like color And I just strained it out and drink it but So I mean there's no particular Well, I mean in terms of the hypertension benefit in that study. I believe it was Two strong cups of tea I think five tea bags worth of hibiscus tea in two cups Something like that. Check out the video to make sure exactly what that dose was in terms of lowering blood pressure But in general I don't think we have any particular dose in mind and You know and was another good question. Um, I Have you know my amla videos are so old now Um, most of them I think back in 2011, so I really need to do it's been over five years So I'm gonna do an update. In fact, that's the next Subject topic I'm actually gonna do videos on is amla just been a ton of research done today So let me hold off on answering that question until I have the latest data in hand And then if we do a new another Q&A by that time I will tell you and then we just wait for the or we just you can just wait for the videos All right, Matt another question in order to increase sulfuric information cook broccoli The mustard seeds need to be grounded in powder or will whole mustard seeds work as well What is Matt talking about Matt is talking about this amazing reaction by which the glucose inlays these The bitter compounds and cruciferous vegetables cabbage family vegetables like broccoli kale collard greens Is is produced by this kind of chemical reaction Between an enzyme and a precursor The precursor is heat stable, but the enzyme is not heat stable sets them when you cook it You're left with a lot of that precursor We don't have the enzyme left to make the end product we want which is sulfuric Which is the purported active ingredient in the reason why? Broccoli family vegetables are so incredibly healthy, so you can add back the enzyme I suggest in a video. I believe the name of the video is called the second strategy for Cooking broccoli something like that just type in broccoli to pop right up And so what's mustard seeds? Well, what are mustard greens mustard greens are cruciferous vegetables cabbage family vegetables Mustard greens come from mustard seeds So hey, can we just take some mustard powder, which is just ground up mustard seeds and put them on greens a cooked greens and and And reinvigorates so for fan production absolutely the studies have been done and shown that is indeed the case The question is does it work? If you add whole mustard seeds Presumably if you chew those mustard seeds It would if not probably not the problem is They're so incredibly tiny that you'd probably eat whole mouthfuls of food It may not chew up all those mustard seeds So maybe powder would be better or chew really well The food actually sits in your upper stomach for a little while while the rest digest And so shouldn't have time if you chew up those mustard seeds to produce so for a fan before Those enzymes are extinguished by your digestive system All right, Matt is back again asking the same hibiscus question got to that one And then Matt again Matt was smart started lining up questions before the thing even started to make sure his questions got answered great idea For next time. I remember I'd give these every single month According to a super foodly, which I guess is a website Sumac brand never heard of it higher antioxidant content than cloves or amlipod or no way Certainly was not mentioned in the 3100 Foods and beverages tested in that study that I feature on the site. Maybe there's new data. I'm not aware. Oh, I Will check it out. Thanks for the tip Nonna for 20 s any new findings on nutritional yeast flakes absolutely And that is those who have to one of two diseases or both Crohn's disease and adrenitis separativa. Those people should not Be going out of the way to add nutritional yeast to their diet and I have videos coming up shortly on that Mike DeFeo Asks do I have a stance on fasting? There's some strong ethics out there, but little human research that I personally know of there wasn't a lot of human research Until now and indeed There's a there's a plethora of studies out now. The reason I don't have more studies on fasting Both intermittent fasting and long-term water fasting is because there just hasn't been good research out there and I mean I don't have stances per se all I do is try to translate the best available balance of evidence And there just wasn't a lot of evidence to translate to present But now to my shock and surprise my you know you go into PubMed and you and you search for fasting was a little difficult because There's obviously lots of articles on have talking about fasting glucose and other things but If you signed up for my research webinar this weekend You can find the best way to do PubMed searching and searching for any health and medical topic if you didn't sign up Sorry too late. It's We already we closed up Registrations by the end of April if you say oh bummed. I missed it make sure you subscribe and Intrusion facts that are to my newsletter to make sure you will hear about such opportunities like that in the Future anyway, so what does the sign say? I'll let you know when I read the hundred articles. I have the hundred are sitting in a folder called fasting And I'm looking forward to doing a whole series of videos because I know that's something that people are Are interested in I do have a bunch of videos on the finding restriction, which is a type of basically Animal protein restriction and the benefits thereof and that is One may be able to get the benefits of caloric restriction meaning eating less food by just restricting intake of certain types of amino acids and so you can look for methionine or restriction under such facts that organ pick up all those videos Right the tailors asked why no many doctors in Canada particularly British Columbia who practice and believe in lifestyle medicine Well, yeah, there are no I wonder if I can put it here. Okay. Hold on I think I can I'm going to put it in the In the question the live chat box. Hopefully you can see it So, okay, here we go, so I just pasted a url Called plant-based docs What would that post I got It's scrolled way too far that I can't even see my own comment But it's like plant-based docs org.com something like that. Whatever. I just pasted Will is kind of a directory of Docs that Seem to have a shred of information about nutrition and see if British Columbia is on there alright, oh Okay, now see I scroll down I scroll back up and I see a totally different Page of questions. I'm just gonna still go at the top and go down. I'm sorry if I missed anybody I was try not scrolling in the future Nelnova TV ask white blood cell count of 3.2 since going plant-based What should I do what you should do is celebrate the fact that you have so little systemic inflammation in your body and in this next volume of videos That just came out So if you got my newsletter, you'll see I have two videos on what on White blood count what it means. What's the ideal a white blood count? And so check it out You can actually watch it literally right now by downloading it or live streaming it or you can just wait and get it It'll pop up on nutrition facts. Although. I think it's buffered out a few weeks in the future Patrick asked what should I change if I suffer from SVT presumably superventricular tachycardia You know, I have never looked into SVT and diet if however, you do a PubMed search For SVT and diet and find some juicy looking articles Please let me know and I'll look into it if I find anything that I think is practical groundbreaking and interesting I will do videos about it. Thank you for your question. Eduardo asks coffee. Yes or no well in my chapters and my latest book how not to die and my Parkinson's in my liver diseases brain diseases a mental health chapter I talk about the benefits of coffee for preventing for depression Parkinson's and liver disease In general coffee drinkers live longer than non coffee drinkers are very small like 3% lower cancer risk overall But there's some populations of folks that should stay away from coffee people with as a reflux or worried about bone loss Or urinary incontinence or glaucoma Having sleep difficulties It's a bottom line I don't think people should drink coffee now because it's not a health promoting beverage But because every cup of coffee is a lost opportunity doing something even healthier, which is a cup of green tea And since there's greater data out there suggesting more benefit from green tea So drink green tea instead would be my recommendation though Don't drink green tea with meals as it can interfere with iron absorption Eddie mania Asks, what's the best natural sweetener besides fruit? and so the two health promoting sweeteners meaning they're actually healthy Obviously a black step molasses and dates sugar dates syrup both of which are whole foods date sugar is just dried pulverized dates and Date paste is usually just blended dates So but you said besides fruit and so I talk about that how really the only Non-toxic low-colour sweetener I'm aware of is erythritol of sugar alcohol found naturally in melons and grapes And unlike other sugar alcohols like sorbitol and xylitol does not cause osmotic diaries Actually absorbed in small intestine excreed done changing the urine and so Something like hot beverages or something or something like baking you need to date sugar But hot beverages I mean date sugar because the whole food has fiber in it.  I talk about stevia in a video on how it's harmless at normal doses, but or harmful at sufficiently low doses, but How there's a there's a cutoff as to how much stevia compounds one might want to get Someone asked about monk fruit and you know, I've looked in the monk fruit before and there wasn't any research But now there is actually so I'm gonna do series of videos about monk fruit and I'll tell you what I find maybe there'll be a second I'm non-toxic Sweetener out there. Ah Julie says saw you in Novi Michigan you and 1400 other people out or maybe at Henry Ford Hospital. I was just speaking nobody last two days Fun talks. I'm so glad I was able to make it But at the same time, I'm happy to be home after a couple weeks on the road. It's my first full day back. Oh What about my black seed oil videos? They're coming my god. There's so much I better get to him soon because the evidence just keeps piling up about this stuff Poonam asks, how do I detox? Oh handle side effects for? Placidex Never heard of flash that that must be a brand name the so Right, so how do you in general? How do you detox by not toxin in the first place but eating and living healthfully? and then in general You know cruciferous family vegetables that's still furfin I talked about earlier helps boost your called phase two enzymes and liver your detoxification enzymes which can help you detoxify the you know external carcinogens and Anything you including drugs for example or any kind of compounds coming into your body that are Natural or unnatural such that if you eat a lot of broccoli you have to get more drink more coffee to get the same caffeine Buzz because your liver is just so ramped up by the broccoli that it detoxifies the caffeine much quicker Do things Gina asked you things to touch our food like cling film tin foil have an effect They can have effect if some of those compounds like the the Plastic plasticizing compounds like phthalates or or or BPA Go from the plastic into the food And tin foil is typically aluminum foil I mean I just had a video about the health effects of aluminum talking about antiperspirants and breast cancer I think literally still it's the last but no that was the Monday's video today I have a new video. I forgot what it's about, but yeah Monday's video was on Aluminum if you're interested check it out KZ or K's ask anything about any closing spawn lightest. It's a great question. Um, you know, it's not something I've looked into It is a auto mean arthritis. There are certainly other auto mean arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis that One can get spectacular benefits from eating a healthier diet And I have a bunch of videos on that. It's not something I've looked into but I will check it out again If you do pub med search pub med go for ankylosing Fondalitis and putting the word nutrition or diet anything pops up Let me know and if there's something useful. I think for other people I will do videos about it Erica asks They just read. Oh, they just recently found a blood clot In my dad's lower leg We have him eating plant-based now was previously eating meat But is there anything else that he can do he's now on warfarin and injections presumably Heparin injections Yeah, so dbt's deep vein thrombosis. I'm actually gonna I have a whole folder packed full of Articles on diet and dbt's so typically, you know, it's like you've been in the plane for a long time sitting for a long time There's various risk factors actually Birth control pills may increase risk of blood clots for smoking women and things like that But you typically don't think of diet and and Blood rheology or ease of flow and clotting disorders And so I but now but there's actually a huge amount of data. I've just never done videos about it But I will do videos about it, which should be helpful Just make sure because your dad is on warfarin that your dad doesn't Dramatically change his dark green leafy vegetable intake Because you would have to change the dose of the drug warfarin or kumadin is a vitamin K antagonist a vitamin K poison basically and so prevent your bodies from From basically rejuvenating vitamin K within the body, which is critical for the clotting pathway So it it thins your blood, but if all of a sudden you eat a whole bunch of vitamin K It overwhelms the drug and your body acts normally and could could clot off And so you just have to eat the same amount of greens every day And so how much greens you should eat a lot of greens But you doctors just have to titrate up your kumadin or warfarin dose to match the amount of greens that your dad is eating They didn't get the best of both worlds David Parkinson asks I have used diet and hi it to massively lose weight but struggle and But struggle Rose is Rose agrees with your struggle to find any write-ups as to scientifically why h i t i t works is that the intermittent high intensity Stuff I'm gonna have a whole but you know what we need We need fitness facts org don't you agree right? There's so much confusing information in the exercise world should you eat before or after exercise What kind of exercise how long duration all sorts of create? I mean there's just massive amounts of questions huge amounts of confusion and commercial Conflicts like sports drinks and things are so much money involved. It's hard to get to the truth What we need someone is to go through all the literature and put out daily videos on the latest in fitness facts Hopefully there's someone out there right now I was willing to take up the mantle all do nutrition in fact we need 10 more nutrition facts I mean I can't if there's 100,000 articles published on nutrition every year. I can't do it all We need more need more sites like this to bring the science to the masses so I have not looked into that and Since it's kind of peripheral to diet. I may never look into it, but If someone's out there and wants to do this Hopefully you're already signed up for my research webinar and so can put up site to provide the evidence to people about things like Fitness or about sleep facts org sleep medicine the latest in sleep medicine or stress manager. There's so much Evidence out there mountains of evidence and just no corporate budget driving its promotion. So maybe there's amazing things Out there in the published literature the certain iron nutrition that we are just lost to the world buried in the basement of some medical Library unless there are people out there digging through it and bring it out to the masses There's no profit motive to do that But you know who will profit? Those who see your videos and eat and live longer healthier lives and Rose agrees with me alright My darling dog who must have seen another squirrel Maxwell peace asks How do I feel about dr. Sebi? List of approved and not approved foods. I'm sorry. I've never heard of dr. Sebi SE BI Sorry, so I don't know and so if you just reword your question to be like what about these foods and what about those foods I'd be happy to answer that question BJ K I'm BJ K Ask if my lone primary fat sources are nuts and seeds great. Oh, what percent of my calories should come from fat? It doesn't matter um I mean total calorie intake matters obviously but Whether you're eating a high fat hopeful plant based diet low-fat hopeful home-based diet high carb low-carb very Sendering your diet around a whole plant foods Then you don't have to worry about carb counting or calorie counting or any kind of kind either right foods It'll just take care of itself the exception, of course a vitamin B12 Which I have tons of videos about if you're interested fancy 1919 asks What are my thoughts on the three cardiologists last week? Ha? so in the there was a British Journal of Sports Medicine or something like that these cardiologists published an editorial questioning the role of saturated fat in heart disease And one has to remember of course dr. Atkins himself was a cardiologist and Probably the best response I've seen to that is Dr. David Katz's response Hummingham post and LinkedIn. He did this wonderful article effect a series of articles one specifically. Oh, what's it called? if you put dr. Katz and the name of that journal Or just it came out literally in the last week, right? So last week or two. So just search for David Katz Huffington post Saturated fat it'll probably pop right up. He did an excellent excellent response to that article. Um, oh, there's the next question from C Nara wall Sorry if I butchered your name is coconut sugar good for you Um, no sure. No. No, no, no Refined sugar is good for you. No non whole food source of sugar. It's good for you The only reason I say date sugar is good for you because it's not really sugar. It's a whole food dried pulverized dates a natural glory asks, what are the best sources of vitamin B12 best sources of vitamin B12 are fortified foods or supplements I recommend 1.2500 micrograms supplement of cyanocobalamin Once a week get all the B12VD costs about five bucks a year and you are all set and in terms of how much take if you rather get Into the habit of taking something every day or how much fortified foods I've got videos on those too, and I'll be doing updates on the B12 Including videos answering your way. So why not methylcobalamin? What about these other types of a more expensive B12? Why aren't they better? I I already have but I've answered that in a Q&A on the website But we'll do a whole video about it just because people continue to be confused Amanda K Ask high carb low-fat diet for P cost weight loss question mark Just came out with a video on dying P cost within the last month. So if you just go to nutritionfacts.org and click on videos It's probably called video library Literally on that first page, which leads just chronologically backwards all the new videos The P cost one will pop right up Sneaky saint says he or she loves a biscuit tea. I agree sneaky saint Nell Nova TV. Oh asked about WBCs. We already got that one Praxology praxeology whatever that is All the praxis on them. Well, anyway K1 versus K2 read the K2 is different benefits and K1 is need to get cast in my Vardaries we're supposed to be the bones K1 only has blood clotting your Do was not does one have to take supplemental K2 they're talking about vitamin K2 your body your gut Your healthy gut bacteria take K1 in the dark green if you vegetables you eat and change it into K2 So your body does it for you. You don't need to take supplemental But I will be doing a series of videos on that very issue. Stay tuned xx asks Ulster of Kledis should I avoid sulfur containing amino acids off from plants? And so I have a video talking about How sulfur containing foods like sulfide in wine and dried fruits and animal products Have that the sulfur can be used to make Hydrogen sulfide which is the rotten egg gas in the gut and may play a role in ulcer of Kledis was an autoimmune the inflammatory bowel disease And then in that very video I talk about wait a second There are some high sulfur plant foods as well like broccoli Garlic and so then I talk about how they looked to see if you know you broccoli increased risk of ulcer of Kledis And they did not So no you don't have to decrease your risk of healthy self-containing whole plant foods Bossam asks why do we have cholesterol transporters in our intestines? be and and have transporters on which exert with with selectively preferably Select for plant-based sterols into extra minute into bile. So wait a second if we weren't meant to eat cholesterol Why do we have cholesterol transporters in our intestines is because of something called enteral hepatic circulation? basically our liver produces cholesterol dumps it into our intestines through the bile and then Reabsorbs it back into the gut. That's why we have these receptors to reabsorb cholesterol back That allows us to control the amount of cholesterol in our system because obviously we get too much cholesterol We all run the risk of dying from the number one killer of men and women which is Heart disease. Ah and look at that 130. I'm out of time. Sorry about that Have a wonderful month everyone. I'll be back with Q&A's next month live Q&A's if you sign up for research webinar I will see you on Saturday for our four-hour research fest and Thanks so much. Bye. Bye


The dissociative identity disorder community already has it hard enough. As many of you saw, if you watched Anthony Padilla's video with people like Dissociate DID. But, Tricia Paytas doesn't really care about that. And right now, she has offended yet another entire community. But here's the thing. If more people understood borderline personality disorder, what Tricia Paytas does would make a lot more sense. What's up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, my channel's all about mental health. I've been trying to put more commentary stuff on the second channel, but I felt like this deserved a main channel appearance. But anyways, if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So yeah, we're gonna be talking about Tricia Paytas's brand new video, Meet My Alters Dissociative Identity Disorder. Many of you have seen these types of videos like Switch Caught on Camera. The channel Dissociate DID has a ton of subscribers and things like that. But anyways, like this, I feel like I finally come to understand what the entire LGBTQ community was so upset about.  But yet again, like, and we're gonna discuss it in a second. If you understand borderline personality disorder, it makes sense. But anyways, although I do not have dissociative identity disorder, I am somebody in the mental health community, right? And this is offensive. This I can imagine, and I've already seen some of the backlash in the comments, people from the DID community are highly offended by this. But aside from that, borderline personality disorder has a massive stigma around it. A massive stigma around it. And Trisha Pates being such a public figure, she is making that community look bad as well, all right? And how do we know? How do we know she has borderline personality disorder? Well, for those of you who haven't met me, no, I am not a licensed therapist. I am not a licensed psychologist.  I worked at a rehab for a few years. We did dual diagnosis addiction, as well as mental health disorders, all right? And many people with borderline personality disorder have substance abuse disorders as well. So I have literally worked with thousands of people who have borderline personality disorder. And like, I wanna discuss this because first off, there's nothing wrong with having borderline personality disorder. It is a very difficult disorder. Part of the stigma around it is people with BPD can sometimes be difficult to have a relationship with, whether it's an intimate relationship, like you're significant other, or if they're a friend or a family member. But also it's very hard on them because a lot of them are working hard to manage their borderline personality disorder, all right? But like I said, Trisha Pates is a very public figure and this hurts that community. So before we dive into this, I'm gonna break down her video with a few clips. Like you need to understand borderline personality disorder if you want to understand why Trisha Pates behaves the way she does. I am a huge believer that if you understand different forms of mental illness, it will help you empathize with those people, right? And while not giving them a pass or giving them an excuse for their behavior, it makes more sense why they do what they do. So real quick, I'm gonna run through the nine symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Both me and you cannot diagnose Trisha Pates, but in this video that she made on World Mental Health Day, she clearly stated that she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, which is much different than what she's doing right now, which is saying she's self-diagnosed as having DID. All right, number one, fear of abandonment. It is an intense, intense fear. This is often why it's very difficult for people with BPD to maintain relationships, all right? They are so afraid that somebody will leave them, but sometimes it turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy where they push that other person away, all right? Next one, unstable relationships, okay? Number three, unclear or shifting self-image. I want you to focus on this symptom, okay? One of the main symptoms of borderline personality disorder is this one. It is an unstable sense of self. Most people, most people, they know who they are, right? Our personality, our identity, it forms at a very young age. Most people who struggle with BPD experience trauma at a very young age and oftentimes had an, you know, emotional or verbally abusive relationship with one or both parents. Sometimes it was repeated trauma. That is why sometimes people are diagnosed with CPTSD instead of BPD, but anyways, an unstable sense of self, all right? Impulsive self-destructive behaviors. Another symptom, self-harm. Another one, extreme emotional swings. That's something to pay attention to. One of the trademark symptoms of borderline personality disorder is these massive shifts in moods, right? Rather than your mood going from like, you know, staying between like a one and a five, it is at like a 10, right? It's not just happy, it is just ecstatic. It's not just liking somebody, it's falling in love with somebody. It's not just getting a little bit upset, it is getting furious, okay? Next, chronic feelings of emptiness. This can also be associated with the lack of sense of self, explosive anger. I will link this article down below. These are a little bit different than what the DSM says. And also feeling suspicious or out of touch with reality. So I do want to make it clear. It is very common for people with borderline personality disorder to dissociate, okay? But just because you dissociate doesn't mean dissociative identity disorder that is completely different, okay? So now let's turn to some clips. Unfortunately for me, Trish, I never really formed my own personality. So right there, that clip right there, that is not dissociative identity disorder. That is borderline personality disorder. I've watched a lot of videos of this recently. Most recently, obviously, Anthony Padilla did this and I was like. Okay, so this is very common, very, very common. Due to that unstable sense of self or lack of sense of self, it is very common for somebody with borderline personality disorder to, for example, hang out with certain people, right? And adopt that identity. These are these, or this is sometimes thought of as being like a social chameleon, right? I don't know who I am, so I will adopt this identity and that helps keep that sense of self stable. So when she says I was watching a lot of videos about dissociative identity disorder, it is easier for somebody with BPD to start identifying with that and then get that kind of stable sense of self, like, oh, I am one of these people. This is my group, this is where I belong, right? I would argue, this is just my opinion, I would argue that this is something similar that happened when she came out as trans, all right? It was an identity that she could latch onto. Sometimes, and it's, like I said, it's like I can't just sit down now and be like, all right guys, come to the center, you know? I think that is just more evident by just looking at my different videos. And so many people will joke in the comments like, what treasure are we getting today and reactionality? Who are getting different personalities inside of Trish? Right there, she's talking about how some people are like, which identity is in this video? Which identity is in this video, okay? This is two of those symptoms that you're seeing come to fruition of borderline personality disorder, an unstable sense of self, and emotional regulation issues, all right? When these two things are happening, or one of these two things is happening, you don't know what the person's going to behave like, all right? Like working at the treatment center, working with people who have borderline personality disorder, you did not know how they were going to be from day to day. A good example of this is if you watch her relationship with Jason Nash and all of the vlogs that they did, you could see how Jason struggled in that relationship because he didn't know, all right? Like, one of the most famous clips was this one. Yo, yo, yo, if you're in a good mood, you're going to love it. Isn't that the fun part though, about dating someone with like borderline personality is like, you don't know what mood they're going to be in. Are they going to be happy? Are they going to be mad? You're always in a good mood unless I piss you out. All right, back to her video. Like I watched it and I was like, oh, like she seems crazy, but I know that's like what I sound like now, which is actually like really, really scary. But I'm just trying to explain, again, this is pretty much self-diagnosed, but it's something that I definitely, I definitely have distinct names for all my personalities. Listen to the words coming out of my mouth. Don't self-diagnose, okay? As much as I make videos on mental health, mental illnesses, different symptoms and everything like that, that is not to self-diagnose. That is the worst thing that you could ever do, all right? It's like trying to self-diagnose a physical illness. The problem is, is that there are specific treatments for specific mental illnesses, okay? And if you self-diagnose, you might be wasting time on something that isn't going to work for you. And this can then lead to an idea that no form of therapy can help you, all right? There are a million different reasons why you don't self-diagnose, but in this instance, one of the main reasons is that you piss off an entire community, all right? Much like she did with the trans thing. And real quick, one of the things that I feel makes people so frustrated is that when Tricia Patez does these things, they're unfalsifiable. What does that mean? You cannot disprove what she is saying, okay? There is no scientific test that you can do on Tricia Patez to prove that she does not identify as a man. There is no scientific test that you can do to prove that she does not have dissociative identity disorder, okay? And this is one of the main reasons for the stigma around mental health and why we all need to act right is because people will often say, oh, you're faking it, you're faking it, right? And when we're doing these antics and these actions that can kind of exploit mental health issues, all it does is feed that stigma, okay? But like I said, I believe so many people get frustrated because there's no way to disprove what she's saying. If you remember back when the whole trans thing was going on, she would get on camera and cry and say like, you can't tell me how I feel. You can't tell me what I think.  You know what I mean? Some people call it bipolar borderline, but it's really to me just multiple personality disorder, I guess. She acknowledges the diagnosis that she had from a mental health professional. She talks about how she has borderline personality disorder, but to her is dissociative identity disorder. That is not how it works. Imagine going to a hospital and getting diagnosed with, I don't know, I don't know, some kind of physical illness, like maybe a flu and you're like, no, it's cancer. They say it's a flu, I think it's cancer. Like you can't do that. You can't do that. Now, if she went through the necessary steps and got a proper diagnosis, cool. But until then, it's pissing off a lot of people. And it's just that love thing is the hardest, is to find someone to love through the dissociation, love through the switches. So this last clip, she talks about wanting to be in a relationship and be with somebody who can handle her through her switches. And if you watch Anthony Padilla's video, that's something that comes up with each of the guests he had on there. It could be difficult to find people who are gonna be there with you through it, right? It's the exact same thing with borderline personality disorder. But again, here is my strict opinion on this. Anybody who's followed Trisha Padilla's for any period of time has seen her go in and out of therapy, all right? Last year, I was super proud of her. She said she finally found a therapist that she really liked, it seemed like she was going to therapy quite often. Then that fell off, all right? But anyways, you need to treat the right illness. So if anybody out there is watching this, if anybody out there knows somebody with borderline personality disorder, the primary therapy used for borderline personality disorder is dialectical behavioral therapy, okay? So one of those symptoms, that unstable sense of self, dialectical behavioral therapy can help with that. It can also help with the other major issue, which is emotional regulation. Dialectical behavioral therapy is the best therapy for borderline personality disorder, but there are also other therapies that can help like cognitive behavioral therapy. Again, I have worked with thousands of people with borderline personality disorder. The people who do those two types of therapy, primarily DBT, see the most success and the best results. All right? But anyways, I'm gonna go out on a limb. I'm a glasses half full, kind of optimistic guy. I do, I do hope that Trisha Padilla isn't purposely doing this to offend people. There is a narrative out there that when she's not getting views or when she wants to stir stuff up and get pushed into the limelight again, she finds a way to really tick off an entire community. And I am hoping that's not the case. I'm hoping that this is her symptoms coming to light, but at the end of the day, our mental health is our responsibility. And if we're pissing people off, it is our job to go get help, go to therapy, seek treatment, whatever we have to do.  But anyways, that's all I got for this video.

Okay guys, so I am back with another Destiny video and today I'm going to give you guys my recommendations of what you should spend your legendary marks on the 16th of May 2017. But before I get into the video, if you guys want to be in the chance of winning my weekly Destiny 2 beta code giveaway or a Resurrectionist emblem giveaway, simply drop a comment and a like on the video when it is picked every Sunday so check your YouTube DMs every Sunday so getting straight into it and we're going to start with a Crucible Quartermaster and to be honest there's nothing, well okay there's one thing that's pretty amazing but other than that there's nothing that great right here none of these weapons in my opinion okay the hero formula is okay but then again the weapon even with a perfect role in my opinion isn't that great, I think we've got a Zen moment or Mulligan, we've got Bray Frame or Explosive Rounds and Firefly, I'd probably save anything Mulligan, Explosive Rounds and Firefly for PvE role but I'm not feeling this scout rifle at all so in my opinion I wouldn't waste your marks on it, the Panangerm this week we've got any Triple Tap, Reinforced and Hidden Hand, definitely not the best role, 100% so again in my opinion save your marks, what weapon here is great though is this right here the Havent Horizon, okay so on this we've got Hidden Hand, we've got Quick Draw or Snapshot and we've got Army of One or Life Support but we've also got Short Gaze so yes definitely worth your time picking up if you are in need of a decent sniper rifle, high impact as well so yeah great great weapon, the sidearm as well isn't too bad but that's if you're into sidearms, I'm slowly getting used to them, I think we've got Outlaw, we've got High Calibur Rounds and we've got Hutt Swap but yeah other than that guys nothing else that great right here so what I'm gonna do now guys is I'm gonna skip to Vanguard and see if they have anything to offer for you guys, okay guys so we're at the Vanguard and there is a couple of decent weapons right here and if you guys have been paying attention to my the wider gameplay we've got in the background of my videos over the past couple of weeks, you will see I'm using an auto rifle and it is this thing right here, now this weapon right here has that very same role I use on mine which in my opinion is an amazing role, we've got an anti-counter balance, we've got Appended Magazine and we also have Rodeo so we've got two Stability Perks which is what this thing needs and we also have Appended Magazine, now my actual one's got three Stability Perks, it's got one here I'm not sure what it is but I actually go for Appended Magazine here so I'll get like 40 odd bullets in my mag because with counter balance and Rodeo you ain't really fighting that much with the stability to control it so yeah this is in my opinion if you have to do a decent auto rifle this is definitely worth your time picking up, the sniper rifle this week here at the Vanguard the seventh sense isn't too bad either on this we've got the Short Gaze Sight, we've got Mulligan or Gunadier, we've got Quintra or Casket Mag and we've got Hidden Hand but in my honest opinion guys if I was going to get a sniper rifle I'd probably get the crucible one but yeah you never know this may suit you, it just may suit you more, it's a higher rate of fire low impact one so yeah who knows it's all down to you and what you'll want your personal preference, the Angels Advocate as well or weapon I reviewed about a week and a half ago the the role this week isn't too bad either I think we've got Outlaw, we've got Perfect Balance or Hammer Forge and we have Reactive Reload, so Reactive Reload, Perdue Say Outlaw, damn this thing will pack a punch it really will so yeah if you're after a decent scout this is actually one it reminded me a lot of the middle multi-tool so yeah it's completely up to you what I'll do guys is I will link my actual weapon review of this weapon in that video description so you can check that out if you're not sure about this weapon so yeah do that if you want to and what's the NP cast I don't think there was NP cast right here yeah I don't think there was to be honest I mean the T10 pest ain't too bad but then again the crucible one's got a better role on it this week I think that was it yes it was so what I'm going to do now guys is I'm going to skip to dead orbit and I'll zoom the video when I get there okay so dead orbit this week hasn't got much to offer the sniper rifle this week I mean snipers across the border on the tower this week are pretty good to be honest again on this we've got short gauge we've got lightweight or I'm a high caliber rounds not armor piercing sorry we've got hammer forged or Mulligan and we also have unflinching so yeah not too bad but again it is a low impact high rate of fire sniper so it's completely up to you what you prefer and the fusion rifle as well I mean I am a fusion rifle kind of guy but I'm this is okay I think we've got enhanced battery we've got snapshot we've got small ball spray and play and we've also got range finder so yeah if you're a fusion rifle type of person you'd probably enjoy that weapon but other than that guys there's nothing else that great right here the keystone needs stability and this week it does not have stability or anything does get well more stability than what small ball offers when this thing does get stability I will definitely be picking it up because I picked up about two or three weeks back and it just lacks stability it bounced pretty violently but yeah so dead orbit this week isn't that great so what I'm gonna do now guys is I'm gonna go to a future war court and see what they have to offer okay so future war coat as well this week I've got one or two things that may take your interest my opinion the wounded I mean I've seen this a lot in PvP and I mean it just tears your face off and this would be pretty good as well about crowd control perfect balance or triple tap with high caliber rounds now this will pack a punch within PvP I mean the one I picked up the last week was half decent I may I may depends how I feel grab this as well just because high caliber rounds perfect balance or snap triple tap sorry and crowd control this could be quite decent it really could now the wormwood this week as well and if you're into side arms it isn't too bad we have on this we have high caliber we have any feet stuck or relentless tracker with hidden hand we also have true sight as well so yes not too bad whatsoever and we all know the wormwood is a monster within PvP it seriously is now another weapon this week is the whale now this is one of my favorite hand cannons in the game and it's super super underrated the problem is it doesn't have any decent range perks but we do have on its small ball which also lowers magazine size down to six on it we also have a look in a chamber we have explosive rounds and a lightweight now it isn't a great role in my opinion but I will tell you guys to watch out for this in the future when it does come with a perfect role definitely definitely pick it up and try out things an absolute based and that is it for future walk-offs or what I'm gonna now guys I'm gonna skip to new monarchy and see what they have okay so new monarchy this week as well not the best hasn't been the best week to be honest so one weapon is in the improvement of five not too bad of a side arm and this week we have an arranged finder hand-loaded or relentless track out or and high caliber rounds and or snapshot we have on its steady hand short shot and quick draw so this could be quite decent in the right hands the in preacher fav snipe through as well this week the D position 7 on it we have the ambush scope we have on its snapshot or explosive rounds hammer force or triple tap with hidden hands so again quite a decent role for a sniper rifle all depends on what you like I mean literally every vendor across the board this week has had a decent sniper still in my opinion I will go with the event horizon from crucible but it's just completely up to you and what you prefer and what you want from a sniper rifle but other than that guys that is it there's nothing else in my opinion worth you even wasting your thinking about wasting your marks on not gonna lie to you guys so yes guys that is it for another video hope you enjoyed it remember leave a like and drop a comment down below to be with a chance of winning my weekly destined to bear called
