Summary

Watch the full interview with Hannah Brown on YouTube here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/Hanah Hannah Brown is an anomaly. She began her life competing and often winning in beauty pageants across the southern United States. Then she was a contestant on the Bachelor. Then she was THE Bachelorette. Then she WON Dancing with the Stars. And just last week she WON Special Forces: World's Tough Test, on Fox, where she outlasted professional athletes like Dwight Howard in US Special Forces training. But like... how? I had to know how this beauty pageant queen has become unstoppable in the world of reality tv. What inside allows her to keep winning? How is it possible she can helicopter in to rigorous environments like a dancing contest or the military and defeat everyone in her path? What's especially impressive is that Hannah keeps winning these shows despite a countless number of health problems, from IBS to asthma, and yet she doesn't have a primary care physician to help mitigate these issues. Executive Producer and Host: Dr. Mike Varshavski Produced by Dan Owens and Sam Bowers Art by Caroline Weigum CONTACT: [email protected]
