Freaky Eaters is a TLC show that highlights individuals who have unusual diets, very similar to My Strange Addiction. Often this means people who exclusively eat one thing, such as potatoes, cheese, meat, bread, burnt sausage, and many others. There are also episodes depicting a woman who drinks upwards of 30 Coca Cola’s a day, a man who eats raw chicken and meat, or a man who just eats cheeseburgers. I take a look at all of these cases today to discuss two things: what the impact of these diets are on the human body, and what tactics the show’s producers and medical experts use to help these people. As always, let’s lead with empathy in trying to understand where these individuals are coming from and we can all improve our diets to live happier and healthier!

Did anyone else just stumble upon Dr. Mike and then start watching him regularly because he is so informational and funny?
-
Seeing someone identify as an eating disorder expert and immediately take a confrontational tone with their client makes everything within me wither up.
-
I love how skate boarding once or twice a week is "a very active lifestyle"
-
Man I love Doctor Mike's attitude. We need more wholesome doctors like him
-
I’ve seen patients with really restrictive or excessive diets. People with eating disorders really struggle and need medical help in an empathetic and understanding way, so I really appreciate the respectful and fact-checking way Dr Mike has dealt with these issues to inform everyone!
-
Doctor Mike doesn’t judge the patients…he just judges how the show is being done 😂

10:51 Gordon Ramsay: You DONUT! IT’S F***IN RAW!
-
can i just say just how much i appriciate you? you are so factual, and so none judgemental - thank you for this content.
-
“You can’t live off of potatoes alone.” Irish people: and I took that personally
-
As a Social Worker in training, I can verify that the “specialists” on these shows are doing much more harm than good - you cannot force people to change, and confrontation is appropriate in very few situations.
-
" did somebody say SALMONELLA " - Docter Mike 9:52 ✨✨✨✨

I think most people on freaky eaters are the "chosen ones" anatomically. Very few people who get into such crazy cravings are able to continue it that far to make it to the show. That means their bodies have adapted ever so slightly towards their eating habits.
-
My son has PICA that accompanies ASD. He is almost 6 and he would much rather chew on the corner of a table than eat a chicken nugget or cupcake. Eating disorders are complicated
-
Take it from a Psychotherapist: The "specialists" and "psychologists" on these kinds of shows are some of the most unhelpful, unintuitive, miseducated, and snobbish mental health professionals possible. Good on Dr. Mike for recognizing that.
-
I started watching Dr Mike like 2/3 years ago, stopped for a year and just found him again. Having just completed my Higher Human Biology course, it's even better watching his videos because I'm finding that I understand a lot more than I did before. All of the medical terms and even the stuff about HDL and LDL make sense to me now
-
You are 100% right that people judge the Inuit without understanding how they used and consumed the entire animal. Firstly they were very active and ate for survival. We in the west are missing out on nutrients because we only eat certain animal parts and often miss out on the the nutrient dense organs.
-
“You can’t grow up to be a functioning adult just by eating potatoes” Every Irish person in a 1000 mile radius: 👁👄👁
-
This doc is compassionate and understanding. They would never want him on these shows, wouldn’t have enough drama. Lol

I got super duper sick the end of 2017, in 2020 I started getting very nauseous, began violently projectile puking, it felt like I was over-full, went dwn to single serving item's that wld take me over an hr, EVERYTHING was unexpected & very sudden so there was unintentional weight loss & today I'm fully disabled w knowing a small % of what's wrong w me, have more negative experiences than not w the medical community & wld rather die than ho to the ER or doctor so THANK YOU DR. MIKE for I legit feel you & ur video's make a difference & I appreciate it & am eternally grateful. ❤❤😊
