Ghrelins or Gremlins? How’s your appetitite today?

Ever wonder how sleeve gastrectomy actually works?

In this clip, Dr. Jameil explains how surgeons remove 70-80% of the stomach — turning that big football-shaped organ into a slim banana — and why you suddenly stop feeling hungry.

The secret? They permanently take out the part that makes ghrelin (yes, that’s the real name of the hunger hormone… we had way too much fun with it 😂).

Less stomach, less ghrelin, less appetite. Game changer!

Fear of Laughter? Nah, Bring It!

Dr. Ben, weight-loss wizard Dr. Jameil, and comedian/filmmaker Brinn Daniels spill the tea:

Stand-up = the bravest sport on Earth. Look for those growth experiences- laugh so hard you skip the gym.

Keeping Your Cool When the Crowd Goes Cold: The Art of Comedy Performance

We dive into the ups and downs of stand-up: forgetting jokes mid-set, dealing with tough crowds, and learning to keep your cool.

The difference between the pros and beginners is that seasoned comics maintain their energy no matter what, while newer ones can let the nerves take over when the crowd’s treating you like a hostage negotiator.
