Summary

Watch the full interview on YouTube here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/AJRVOD Anjelah Johnson-Reyes is a stand up comedian you know from Mad TV and her early YouTube virality for her impression of a day at the nail salon. I was exited to sit down with her an discuss her health, her comedic style, and her relationship with doctors, which turns out to be pretty complicated. Like many out there, Anjelah has not had the best success when visiting traditional doctors to treat her ailments, and as such she has grown a little wary of their advice. I recognize there are plenty of doctors out there who don't put their relationship with a patient first, so I wanted to work with Anjelah on battling some of this doctor stigma and see if we could get her to come around on some traditional medicine. I was so happy with this discussion and think Anjelah is a total rock star! Let me know down below if you'd had issues with traditional doctors in the past and if you have any questions I can answer to clear things up for you.
