Amazing!

This podcast is an amazing thing to listen to. I tell to not listen to podcasts very much, but I love this one. He has awesome guests such as KallMeKris and Sam & Colby. Would totally recommend!

Lou Buttons ,

I love this podcast!

I don’t even listen to podcasts because they bore me, but I could listen to CheckUp allllll day. Dr. Mike is a fantastic interviewer (seriously, what can he NOT do?). I love the variety of guests and topics. I would recommend CheckUp to anyone.

Jocy G. ,

A little urgent…/Thanks for your help!

Hi! Dr. Mike I have a medical question that a lot of people have not been able to understand nor solve; My mother, 29 year old female, high blood pressure (takes pills), exercises for about 1-3 hours 5 days a week. Has this noise in her head that she hears often and we know that it isn’t anything psychological because if anyone puts their ear close enough to that spot you’d be able to hear it! It sounds like a buzzing noise but not like a bee, more like a caterpillar (though caterpillars do not make that sound), the only thing I have been able to find it similar to is the cicada, except more deafening like a low buzz that makes it sound and feel numbing, and in a rhythm a really stable rhythm. Can you please tell me about what it might be? It has been going on for about 2-4 years now and she gets it everywhere but more specifically when she tries to go to sleep. - Jocy G.
(Also could you invite Blair’s White to the podcast I think that the conversation would be amazing between the two of you!)
