What Modern Medicine Won’t Tell You About Healing | Dr Yahki

Most people think they’re doing everything right when it comes to their health.Eating better. Working out. Taking supplements.So why do they still feel tired, inflamed, stressed, or off?In this episode of the Social Proof Podcast, we sit down with a health educator who built a massive following by challenging how we’ve been taught to think about the body, disease, and healing.After suffering a life-changing health scare at just 21 years old, he went down a rabbit hole that completely rewired his understanding of health. What started as survival turned into a mission, and eventually a business that reached hundreds of millions of people online before being removed from major platforms.This conversation isn’t about quick fixes or trendy health hacks.It’s about questioning assumptions, understanding your body, and recognizing how environment, lifestyle, and systems play a bigger role than most people realize.If you’ve ever wondered why “being healthy” still doesn’t feel like it’s working, this episode will make you think differently.⚠️ This conversation challenges conventional ideas and may make you uncomfortable. That’s the point.In this episode, we talk about:Why symptoms aren’t always the real problemHow environment and lifestyle affect long-term healthWhat most people misunderstand about disease and healingThe moment that changed everything at age 21Why this message reached millions and then disappearedIf this episode made you think, drop a comment below.Subscribe for more conversations that help you see the game differently.Our Sponsors:* Check out ClickUp and use my code SOCIALPROOF for a great deal: https://www.clickup.com* Check out Northwest Registered Agent and use my code socialprooffree for a great deal: https://northwestregisteredagent.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

January 1st Doesn’t Change Anything (Here’s Why You Fail Every Year)

January 1st doesn’t change anything until you change something.Every year people say “New year, new me”, set big goals, feel motivated… and then fall right back into the same patterns. This isn’t a discipline problem. It’s not laziness. It’s psychology.In this video, we break down:Why motivation fades in 24–48 hoursThe science behind why goals feel good before you do the workWhy most resolutions die before January 3rdHow identity, habits, and environment actually create changeWhy the calendar flipping doesn’t mean your patterns changedThis isn’t hype.This is about understanding how your brain works, why you sabotage progress, and what actually leads to consistency in your life, business, health, and habits.You don’t need a fresh start.You need a new identity.Our Sponsors:* Check out ClickUp and use my code SOCIALPROOF for a great deal: https://www.clickup.com* Check out Northwest Registered Agent and use my code socialprooffree for a great deal: https://northwestregisteredagent.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Are Men Hurting Themselves by Not Feeling Their Emotions? | Dr.Spirit - Social Proof Podcast #556

Most men are taught how to be strong, disciplined, and productive.Very few are taught how to feel.In this conversation, we unpack what really happens when men suppress their emotions, why so many high-performing men feel numb, and whether “not feeling” is actually strength or just survival.If you’re a man striving for success and wondering why things still feel off, this might sound uncomfortably familiar.If you love, work with, or are trying to understand a driven man, this conversation will help you see what’s really going on beneath the surface.This episode isn’t about being soft.It’s about capacity, leadership, and the cost of emotional suppression.📩 Business inquiries: billing@realsocialproof.com🔥 Subscribe for more episodes.👥 Join The Social Proof Community:🚀 The Morning Meetup: http://themorningmeetup.com🔥 Don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more real conversations Follow David on IG https://www.instagram.com/dshands/👇 Comment your biggest takeaway📤 Share this with someone who’s going through a storm📌 Subscribe for more real, unfiltered conversationsOur Sponsors:* Check out ClickUp and use my code SOCIALPROOF for a great deal: https://www.clickup.com* Check out Northwest Registered Agent and use my code socialprooffree for a great deal: https://northwestregisteredagent.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
