I was thinking the same thing!! Lol

@Thatveganlifestyle When you put your life out on the internet, you are in turn opening up yourself to public criticism

@@misselizabeth6631 When you " care " about somebody you don't "call them out" on a public platform with 250k subs. Great way to help this woman. You are all saints.

@@Thatveganlifestyle instead of shaming people, why not share what you've done to help her so people can start doing the same?

@@Thatveganlifestyle um. you didnt watch this video did you? and dr dray deletes any comment referencing her weight or her health. though she doesn't give advice, and says that, about food or eating or exercise, these videos are to inform subscribers that she is infact not at a healthy weight and that we all hope she gets better. actually watch the video, it's a very nice and good video.

@@shortyextraordinaire3191 That's what you got out of this? That it's wrong people who pointlessly call out people who could quite possibly mentally ill in front of an audience 250k. Okay....

Definitely. I used to work at a Vitamin Shoppe and that stuff does exactly that.

That was one of our fav "tricks" back in my eating-disorder-clinic days...

Yup magnesium is a laxative, that's what it is sold as where I am.

@@nunpho i dont understand? why would someone have diarrehea on purpose? how is it related to staying thin?

The Leap Even though a lot of videos have legitimate points , a lot of them basically said how gross she looked instead of being worried about her health.

@@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea You are right. Pretty much all the ones I have seen have been for shock value. How on earth does that help her or anyone else in her position. Others are attacking her and blaming her being vegan on her appearance but it has nothing to do with her being vegan. I always feel bad for people who are on this platform and their health issues get drug through the mud for others entertainment.

true!

The Leap i agree i love watching unatural vegan for theses reasons and she is very classy and just a nice girl!

absolutely

Oh wow

That's really sad to hear. Hopefully she will open up to help. I haven't heard of her before this.

I have been watching her for a long time and I always thought:"Why the hell is nobody commenting on this? Now hearing that she deletes everthing makes a lot of sense. I mean, if she didn't have an disorder, she make video to address it.

I can see why she'd block those comments, seeing as it'd get old really quickly, but the comments are not wrong. The well meant ones, anyway. But they're not helpful to her. She's an adult and will get help when she's ready... or not. It's a frustrating situation all around

I messaged her on instagram regarding it and she never blocked me.

Where'd you get the info on her running marathons?

@@yamisice I looked at her Instagram and saw that she was participating in races. I made an assumption because she was racing in a mask that covered her face for sun protection and just couldn't imagine that anyone would fuss with that for just a 5 or 10 k (which take around 30 minutes and 60 minutes to finish for most decent runners), but she is excessively vigilant about sun protection, so I may have made a mistake in my inference.

@@yamisice She ran a NYC marathon in 2015, according to a post of hers in November 2016.

she probably does tho. with that kind of diet you’d be pretty hungry.

@@niraisatsana Being hungry doesn't mean they eat. That's why it's called an eatting disorder.

Mary Williams yeah i have an ed myself so 🙃 as i see it she eats a lot of food like that because it’s “healthy” and it fills her up ignoring the fact that it’s way too low in calories. i used to do that anyway.

@@niraisatsana So you know hunger has nothing to do with being able to eat properly.

That show was wild.

I recently clicked on one of those episodes, and one of the top comments was basically "I know all of you watching it in 2019 have an eating disorder, sound off! I have _________" And all the replies were people listing their eating disorders. There were other comment chains talking about the same thing.

I found that so triggering as a young teenager!

@@Psychwriteify When my bulimia was bad in uni I used to watch it a lot. One of the episodes had a jockey who blatantly had an ED (he talked about overexercising, not eating for days before a race or drinking on the day itself, and using saunas to get rid of water weight). I don't remember if he discussed more well-known purging methods, but I know that some jockeys do and it's basically an open secret. I learned many 'tips' from him. While his behaviour was shown as unhealthy, it didn't stop me wanting to emulate him.

@@cgg2621 well obviously, if you had bulimia, you looked for ways to be unhealthy. the show was good, showed both ends of scale, even included ED patients in one segment, show stories of recovered anorexics and was really respectful to everyone involved. the kids version was also amazing

Yikes! I am so glad I saw your comment. Thanks for the info!

That is so disheartening...

Magnesium draws water into the intestines thus diarrhea

Thanks for this information, I haven’t notice an issue but I take the nighttime one with melatonin but I drink at most three times a week at night so maybe I haven’t because I don’t drink it everyday.

In most countries, it is sold as laxative and not as diet supplement.

I honestly am curious how they are related? Is magnesium fizzy?

OJ Was Acquitted Too the CALM supplement makes ur drinks a bit fizzy. But tbh I don’t get it either lol

@@itsfemss Ahh, okay. Ha. 😄 I wonder why she didn't just switch to Bubbly? I've never been a big soda drinker, but I noticed I was beginning to drink more fruit juices w/ my savory meals. So to stop that, I replaced it w/ sparkling water (w/o artificial sweetener 😝). To each their own 🤷

@@asideofaioli4630 A lot of magnesium causes diarrhea and you lose weight.

OJ Was Acquitted Too she uses the magnesium supplement as a laxative, that’s why she used more than she was supposed to

But that's your problem that you viewed her as "goals" back then - it's not her problem. She's not anyone's babysitter. This "young impressionable..." bullshit needs to stop. If young people nowadays do not use their brains like literally at all... then ok great -> natural selection will take it's course yay!. It pisses me off so much when everyone on the internet plays this keyboard doctor/dietetician/psychiatrist and knows EXACTLY what the person needs to do with their own life. If she's *TRIGERRING UWUWUWUWUW OH NOES NUNU* then do not use internet at all. Do not go out of your cave. Do not face the world. And stay in your bubble. Go to therapy and get some meds fuck. Everything is triggering these days. Get a thicker skin! How some of you are able live your life constantly bitching and moaning like that I have no idea...

Ethe Rike you’re the only one who seems triggered 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ethe Rike Why you’re so mad? And the thing with being influenced is that it’s usually an unconscious process, not something you’re actively thinking about. So when young girls are “triggered” into anorexic thinking by influencers, it’s not something that they did to themselves, it’s unconscious.

Ethe Rike She never even said it was “her problem,” and yet you seem to be frothing at the mouth 😂

@@etherike2769 You subscribe to the version of society where everyone just minds their own business and let people around them die and indirectly harm others too, just like many people do. It's a free country. But other people don't. It's a free country.

Eating not enough meat is predisposition for anorexia. Nobody develops anorexia while eat mostly meat diet ever. Disgust to meat is one of early alarming signs of anorexia.

thewhite8uard so over 400 million vegetarians in India plus how many more people in the world who are vegan and vegetarian are predisposed to anorexia because they don’t eat meat? Makes so much sense!

@@eimajffoh I would say vegan diet triggering anorexia in those who genetically predisposed to it. And I would differentiate voluntary and involuntary vegetarianism. Poverty and depression can force vegetarian diet on you, but it doesn't make you vegetarian or vegan. there are biggest population of the cattle of the world in the vegetarian India by the way, and a lot of sheep, pigs, billions chicken. I wouldn't believe much in 400 million vegetarians in India if I was you.

I haven't seen the video, but personally I find oatmeal to be really filling and I can only eat absurdly tiny potions as well. I don't have an eating disorder though. I'm not saying her eating habits are fine, they're not. Just saying oatmeal..man...

Well if she really has an eating disorder, then those are not just habits, but addictive behaviors... And it sounds very scary!

@@schnabeltiertv Yeah, oatmeal can be really filling, I don't discount that at all. And I don't remember which video exactly, but she was with her mom, and the bowl was like the size of an ice cream dish, and her mom was sat across from her with a typical lunch that she basically finished, and Dr. Dray ate what looked to be like 5 bites of oatmeal before chucking it. I think it was so upsetting to me moreso because of not finishing it and not taking the leftovers with her, and Whole Foods hot bar being so expensive, which grates against my own relationship and issues with food.

I remember that vlog, she was at whole foods, at it was the most foul sounding thing ever too. And odd food combos are a sign of ed's

Some people just can't eat a lot.

A1977ification yes! I found her videos but had trouble really watching them because of how sunken her cheeks are and the color of her skin. It was disturbing.

It’s a shame you can’t get around the food bit if you want her pristine knowledge on skincare really

@3s3.7cy Was about to say this: she wears a lot of mineral sunscreen and she does *not* wear foundation or BB creams, so her coloring is 'off'.

3s3.7cy we can be very smart in one area and very disordered in another.

Mineral sunscreen doesn't make your skin grey it leaves a whitish sheen, the first thing i noticed when the video stared was her skin discoloration and that its SUPER thin, translucent and green-grey (mainly on the "deep parts" between bones, under eyes, collarbones, wrists, etc) i know for a fact that it's side effect of anorexia She seems like a sweet person but she's not healthy and it's sad that she shuts down any mention about it

I've seen people mention this before. Most of the advice I have seen from her is basically only wash your face when it actually needs it, moisturize while your face is still wet, and copious amounts of sunscreen. Can I ask what specifics have helped with you cystic acne?

Yes please, can you share anything specific that helped? 🙏🏽 It's a huge problem for a really good friend and because my acne went away when I changed my diet, I don't know what to tell her, because obviously dietary changes only help some people, and it didn't help her at all. 😟 And there's so much dangerous stuff out there being pushed for cystic acne! Something safe would be amazing.

can you please tell me what helped your acne? please I'm really desperate and hopeless at the moment, I tried everything for years but it's gotten worse, I feel extremely ugly

ror ror I had extreme hormonal cystic acne for about 5 years. Everyone has different things that work for them. I tried almost everything. Here’s what worked for me: •STOP using scrubs, acid, homemade diy ANYTHING. Those lemon/apple cider vinegar diy damaged my skin like no other. •Be SO very gentle with your skin. I damaged my skin by picking/scratching at my skin or scrubbing at my face because I was so frustrated and sad, don’t do this. Be kind to your skin. Don’t use face scrubbers or rough towels. •use gentle cleansers. Cerave is a fantastic drugstore skin brand. I use their gentle cleanser and moisturizer. Changed my skin!! •using a gentle toner has been super helpful. It may not be what’s right for you in your acne journey right away but later down the line. I started using a toner later on when I was being more caring to my skin. Sometimes you can go too hard with the toner and damage your skin. •using a product that has either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide in it once at the end of the day may work for you along with a gentle cleanser in the morning. Salicylic acid is more effective for me. I like neutrogena’s face washes •use products that have hyaluronic acid. It helped heal my acne scars! Super recommend! You can get it cheap too! •I would NOT recommend taking oral medication. I went on antibiotics (doxycycline) (accutane) and that made it worse. Sometimes this works for some people, it did not work for me. Most people that I know that went on a type of tetracycline had their acne come back after they went on it, became depressed while on it, or didn’t have bad acne in the first place so they were fine. I would try to avoid this as much as possible. •light therapy is BS. •you could choose to use specific birth control to help manage your hormones. I’ve had friends that said that worked. •talk to your doctor! •trying to find what triggers your acne and products that work best is so difficult and you’ll want to give up but keep pushing. •it may be hormonal, stress, diet or some other thing causing your acne. Stress was a huge factor for me and I’ve had to experiment (healthily) with my diet. •a big factor that people rarely consider is that along with your skin, your heart/mind will have to heal too. Having extreme acne caused terrible confidence issues in myself. I had friends/family make upsetting comments or strangers give me dangerous and unsolicited advice for my skin. I still struggle to look in the mirror. A huge part of acne recovery is self love. You may even want to look into counseling! •it will NOT last forever. I promise! I’m a sophomore in college now and I forget that my face used to look like that. I still have mini hormonal breakouts but they never last. •you are loved and you are special. You are so much more than your acne and your face. The people that love you best know that. •imagine your acne on your best friends face and how you think your friend deserves to feel. She deserves to be respected and loved and live a good and successful life. Treat your skin as a friend. Your skin is not ugly. You are not ugly. It’s not your skins fault. It’s not your fault you have acne. It will all be okay and you will be able to look back on this part of your life and be grateful for the empathy it gave you for other people who might be suffering in a similar way. You will build up your confidence and nothing will stand in your way! God bless you in your journey! Feel free to ask me questions, I’d love to chat. -Sam 🌸

True

she might be sick and that is why she is thin.. we dont know. it is not fair to just assume she has a eating disorder. /:

I have a friend who looks sick and anorexic, but that's just how she is. She can't gain weight. But she eats normally..also not vegan or a health person..just an average girl.

Hecate Veg and saying nothing about her self suicide is even worse

If she's deleting comments about dangerous health she is not being kind and definitely not helpful

OxundHeiner I’d put money on the fact that the what I ate videos are definitely intended to put on the appearance that she’s eating tjst amount of food when in reality she’s not. As you noticed in her other videos in reality she eats FAR less, & a not nearly as much fat or protein. As someone who has been there she’s definitely deep in the grips of a disease.

Sunfish OutOfWater 10000% Plus, when she eats outside the home like at the whole foods vegan bar, it’s a little tiny soup cup she chooses for her meal (the smallest container available) , doesn’t fill it and never finishes it. And then at home , it’s such a vast quantity that most people couldn’t even eat a quarter of that volume.?? Something doesn’t pass the smell test. She’s lying , either she eats that once and then starves the rest of the week or she splices in several days of food to look like more.

Amen to that

'at best orthorexia?' Orthorexia is an eating disorder, it can be just as damaging as the other kinds

Orthorexia IS an ED...

This is exactly what I did during the worst periods of my ED. Its very upsetting to see. I feel so bad for her. I thought I was healthy, and I was deteriorating.

Orthorexia isn't recognised in the DSM 5. But, that's due to most psychologists agreeing that it falls under other sub-categories of ED. The term was also coined around just after the time that The DSM 5 was created, so that's also why it's not included. Orthorexia is probably just a symptom of body dysmorphia.

@@JacquelineUnderwood It's not in the catalogue (yet) and orthrexia doesn't mean you're dangerously underweight.

What youing girls watch her????? Please cut the Bullshit. Her audience is mature women and gay men. She has a dermatolgy channel it simply does not appeal to "little girls " stop using that bullshit excuse to justify bullying people you "care" about . Great you "called" her out.

@@Thatveganlifestyle You think young girls that are getting acne aren't watching her?! Get outta here.

@@Thatveganlifestyle Ya know who might be watching a skin care channel? Teenagers with acne. :|

Yes, the pro-Ana girls watch her. She gives a great how-to eat high volume and consume lowest calories possible. Her lack of empathy is upsetting. She could just stick to skincare and then no one would have the right to comment about her disorder. But she is actively demonstrating how she does it. The body checking, high volume lo cal food, over-exercising. And that’s just the ED, not to mention her other mental health issues.

@@thisblender young girls with acne mostly watch Kylie Jenner and David Dobrik. No teenager is prone to watch a woman in her late thirties talking in depth for 30 minutes about ingredients. Stop using the , oh I care about innocent kids bullshit for you satisfyiong your need to be sanctimonious.

Thank you!

That's what i disagree about the idea "talking about isn't going to help [her]", set aside for a moment whether that is true; she is an influencer. An influencer with an added appeal to medical authority even. Dangerous things influencers promote *most* be rebuked/argued, it doesnt just affect them

Jason Bolding Her videos are centered around skincare not nutrition. Saying she promotes her illness when all she did was film a “What I Eat In A Day,” already further victimizes a victim of a mental disorder. Exposing ED victims does not help them in the slightest, nor will it open the eyes of the willfully ignorant (those being the audience who choose to ignore it). Talking about it won’t help, and Dr. Dray’s demographic is largely older women. I’m pretty sure they can sense something off about her physical stature. She doesn’t need to be exposed, and this mentality of exposing ED victims is honestly quite disgusting and immoral.

Mary Poppins-100%. Watching Dr. Dray is like watching ‘anorexia porn.’ Her skincare advise is basically innocuous. She uses dermatology as the ostensible reason for her channel-but the real reason she films herself (basically daily) is that she wants to show off to the world her strange diet and exercise habits. I wish KZfaq would cut her-I agree she could be a dangerous influence to some. I also question whether she is a genuinely competent physician; yes, she is smart and cares about her speciality-but, if you are starving yourself, that raises an ethical question as to whether it’s appropriate for you to be seeing patients in clinical settings. I’ve often considered writing to the medical board that oversees physicians in whatever state she practices about her-that perhaps would be a wake up call if she ever loses her medical license for being labeled ‘unfit to work.’

Miss Twizzletoes please don't be offended, I'm not calling you out. I think it's dangerous when we start speculating on other people's competencies based on some unrelated perceived deficiencies or flaws. We Don't know if she is anorexic. We don't know if she has an eating disorder. She has behaved within the bounds of medical ethics on youtube by debunking pseudo science regarding skin care and she does not promote anything that is harmful to anybody. Trying to strike someone off for their weight, as a proxy for their mental state or character, is unconscionable and not justice in anyway. If she does have an eating disorder it no way means that she is an incompetent dermatologist or physician. Your weight has no bearing on your intelligence. Even having a mental illness does not mean you are an incompetent doctor otherwise a great proportion of doctors will lose their license for depression. Again this is not me defending her or having a go at you. I am really defending mentally ill professionals such, as myself, who worked extremely hard to get to where we are now. We are able to compartmentalise and function without letting that contaminate our work, which we take great pride in and it gives us purpose. There is so much stigma against those with mental illness already, please don't perpetuate it. We are trying to get on with our lives just like everyone else, so please be gentle with us, thank you 🙏

Tina Yael Severinova M. I couldn’t even figure out what was wrong the first few videos I watched, because it was just her face. It was awful. I don’t like using the word triggered, but that’s exactly how I felt.

She is a online doctor now. She doesn’t work in a hospital or clinic.

@@lydiachong1274 I was just about to say the exact same thing. If professionals weren't allowed to work _just_ on the basis of them having a mental illness, and not, for example, on the reasonable, responsible and ethical assessment of if and how that mental illness affects them doing their job, then so many professionals wouldn't be allowed to work. Mental illness is more common and spread amongst all categories of people than most people realize. This kind of thinking only reinforces stigma, even if it's done with good intentions. Personal bias on the professional's part, a doctor in this case, would be an area that would make more sense to address, since a person's political, religious and other kinds of personal beliefs and opinions affect the way they do their job and treat their patients. I've had doctors do that a lot of times. I find it hard to believe that during a consultation about a cyst or vitiligo, she'd take the time to infiltrate some harmful notions in relation to EDs and the thinking patterns that are affected by them. I honestly find it insulting to imply she's incompetent in her field because of it. And to contemplate writing a letter to the medical board, because maybe being deemed "unfit to work" and possibly fired will be a wake-up call? Ikr, how _dare she_ have an ED, she deserves to lose her job for it ASAP! You shouldn't seek to push people to rock bottom because maybe there they'll realize they need help. People seem to be understanding of mental illnesses as long as they're resolved. God forbid you're currently having a setback, a bad period, or it's a mental disorder that's more like a chronic illness. The person whose comment you addressed seems to have a very self-righteous, "oh my" attitude about this that rubs me the wrong way. Doctors, teachers, and I assume other categories of professionals, they all go through regular mental check-ups. If _just having_ a mental illness as opposed to how and if that illness affects their job will be the basis on which they lose their jobs, people might lie about it or about how serious it is, a lot of people will not seek help in the first place, possibly risking people's safety by not having it monitored, and consequently worsen. Very intelligent people have mental disorders and issues too. Even people like doctors, scientists, engineers, people who are usually very rational, with minds that judge based on facts and figures, can be touched by mental illness and believe and think unreasonable things, but that doesn't mean they're unreasonable people in all areas. Mental illness =/= not smart or capable. I constantly worry about people doubting my ability to work because of my mental illness and it's unfair for me to have to worry about that on top of dealing with my illness. The state or whatever institution deals with this should ensure people do their job well and that whatever individual issues they may have (mental, physical, opinions, mentalities, etc.), they don't interfere with their ability to do their job up to standards and in a safe manner for everyone involved, and that's it.

i've had one friend pass away from AN and multiple have been on the brink of death, and she really, really, really reminds me of them. it's so sad

What is AN?

@@olly2027 anorexia nervosa I guess

Jessica J thank you.

I really wouldn't want Abbey Sharp to talk about Dr. Dray, I feel it would be a lot more clickbaity than this, rather than helpful.

But also the more compliment a person has on their appearance can impact in the same way

And all her comments section is because of moderating is praise and it's generally about her appearance. Like either way it can be more intense for the person.

leila it’s definitely disordered. I remember in the comments once, someone said she should be a model 😳 and Dr Dray said she considered it but she’s too short. I think she’s in serious, profound denial. But why hasn’t her mom tried to get her help? They are very close.

EXACTLY. When I started watching her I thought I was being overdramatic by wondering why she looks so...sickly, for lack of a better term. There's so many vids where she just looks like translucent, and that's always nagged at me. Glad that others see it too but sad to watch someone suffer through it. I truly hope one day she'll get the help she needs.

blazebaby89 everyone mentions it. She deletes and monitors comments like crazy

@Tina Yael Severinova M. Weight? What do you mean?

@@something6510 The lower half of her face looks especially emaciated. There isn't any 'cheek fat' left around her mouth.

She deletes every single comment related to food or weight

I don’t know. Her obsession with sunscreen is not quite rational and I come from a place as a healthcare professional in the cancer care specialty. It’s important yes to apply properly but she goes to an extreme, like the vlog where she almost panics about walking across a parking lot without reapplying. 🤷🏼‍♀️ between her routines and her food she is a very obsessive person.

Angelica Davila It’s inspirational to watch someone be so diligent with their skin protection, especially as someone who mostly can’t bring themselves to apply sunscreen. But ofc its not ok if the obsession is taking a toll on her mental health.

@@AngelicaLess I haven't actually watched that video before, that does say a lot about her though

nugg the worst part about having an eating disorder is knowing your fears are irrational but still not being able to stop feeling that way

People make the mistake of thinking EDs and mental illness don't affect rational people. It's not true.

Her skincare advice is amazing though. Don't discredit her knowledge and experience

@@starletd6819 in skincare, sure. In diet and nutrition she is obviously struggling

Emma Altpeter I hope you’re doing well now. 💜

I agree that this woman clearly isn't healthy. But I did want to add that spending a lot of time on each meal doesn't mean obsession. I really enjoy cooking and even with a busy student schedule, cooking is how I relieve stress.

I totally relate about having an ED longer means it takes longer to treat it. Same as you, I was diagnosed and admitted to hospital after less than a year of anorexia. It took a further 7 hospital admissions in 4 years to be fully recovered, and I was under 18, too. I can't imagine being an adult who's struggled for years and years without treatment... it must be so near impossible to begin to get better :( I'm so glad you're well now x

The Kazoo Queen it doesn’t mean an eating disorder, but when added with other symptoms, it does. It’s okay to spend a lot of time cooking because you enjoy it, but there are also a lot of people with eating disorders who put a lot of effort into cooking because they don’t eat often.

Grace Kenyon I have an eating disorder (recovering, slowly) and it started in middle school. I’m 22 now and have been slowly but surely recovering, but even two years in, I still struggle with it a lot. I WILL get better, because I want to love myself and treat my body the way it deserves, but it’s very very hard. If I weren’t so stubborn, I’d definitely need daily help just making sure I eat enough, because once you’re used to certain habits, you don’t necessarily notice when you’re doing them. Even with how stubborn I am, I wouldn’t be able to without friends who call me on it if they see me slipping, and who encourage me to be healthier.

I ate 4 oz of salmon, some steamed greens and mushrooms, and was satiated for 6 hours. My stomach felt good and not irritated by putting gobs of food in it.

Kat Burns me too 😭😭😭😂😂😂 I was like is Dre vegan??

Lool Me too!! I was like wow he’s vegan!? Rly

A friend of mine has anorexia and she would purposely add things to her food to make it unappetizing as a way to punish herself for eating

Anna Vass seriously there is no way I could choke that stuff down, even with all the dressing in the world and she doesn’t even use any dressing/sauce. Bleh!

@@luiysia Upper abdomen enlarged between the centre of the ribs, while the lower portion of the stomach is flat or caved in.

@@luiysia if you go to Dr Dray's videos (or videos about Dr Dray), you'll see that when Dr Dray turns to the side, the upper abdomen area (under her chest) protrudes. That part sticks out past everything else. I haven't seen anyone else in a first world country with that sort of problem, as usually the chest or sometimes the lower belly is the most prominent protruding area in the front

She is very knowledgeable about skin care but she should stop at that Showing of her skeletal body, what she eats isn’t right I personally think she is very ill and having an ED myself I would never make videos displaying my terrible ED behaviors

Ashaliyeva Marie Wilson o completely agree! I love Dr. Dray! I’ve learned so much from her channel and my skin has improved so much by following her advice. And I think she is a really lovely, fun person. It hurts my heart to see so many people saying mean things and being so judgmental. She is a person, just like anyone else. She helps a lot of people and certainly deserves kindness and respect. 💖

leila I don’t understand what for? If she want other people to timing her every single time that she needs to get help and it would push her towards getting help then I understand why she would expose her body and behaviors but otherwise it just not right

As someone with anorexia I can tell you that is not that kind of mental illness that you are unaware what you are saying and doing Very much aware and it’s certainly not without any goal in mind When I watch her making food or even talking it’s really irritating bc I reminds me time when I was that sick and I really hate myself being so wrapped up in ED I can tell you for sure that she is not that far gone that can’t change and start recovery We all people with ED can if we decide so to fight each and every day Being popular as dermatologist on KZfaq enables her to take her condition seriously I’m very surprised that her mom is participating in her videos , I wouldn’t unless she would get off KZfaq for a while and gets help ED is not something you can’t change It’s all possible!!!

Especially in the deceptive gloom of the Pacific Northwest.

I live in New Zealand and if I leave the house without sunscreen, even in winter or cloudy days, I get burnt within 10 minutes. The glowing sky orb is no joke

@@boop3260 Sorry you expierence that but thank you for responding. Being in shade or cloud coverage is definitely helpful, it is not enough. I remember a thing like 20-25yrs ago where there was a huge push to wear sunglasses in the snow because the sun bouncing off the snow could cause damage. Never looked into the validity, but it makes sense. Also SPF in makeup isnt enough. Your foundation may say SPF35 but to get that coverage, you have to use 1/4 of an ounce. That's 1/4 of a bottle of foundation (standard size bottle is 1oz) in ONE USE.

@@mrspokitstheriot477 No worries, we just don't have much of an ozone layer haha :p Definitely agree with the sunglasses recommendation - it's only once the damage is done that we really start to notice it... We have a public campaign with the slogan "Slip, slop, slap and wrap", as in slip into covering clothing, slop on some sunscreen, slap on a hat and wrap a pair of sunglasses around your face lol. I don't wear makeup but that foundation knowledge is scary! Thanks for sharing

Yes please, especially if (like me) you NEVER burn. You still need sunscreen! People think darker skin is immune, but it's not. And early skin cancer is also harder to see on more melanated skin, so although lighter-skinned people are at greater risk of getting skin cancer, they also usually notice skin lesions in the earliest stages when it's easiest to treat and cure. Often it's darker-skinned people who die from it because they didn't see it in the early stages. Everyone should be using sunscreen, even if they don't think they need to.

Victoria Grace why mason jars?

@@DC-bp8sx They're preset sizes, so people can fill up the Mason jar and strictly only eat what's there. No seconds and no overserving

I guess when people are transparent, they get looked down upon too. A youtuber called Kalel made a really honest "what I eat in a day" video where she actually showed how much she ate/day and people called her out for starving herself. So that might be why they are not honest.

​@@kater6873 I understand that, but if they feel they have to mislead their audiences like that, then it's best not to make those kinds of videos in the first place. They aren't obligated to do so, and lying about eating habits to people who likely want to emulate them is a grossly irresponsible way to use their platforms.

What situation??? Swayze made a video because of her most liked comment when people also pointed out that doing so coud cause even more harm. What was the point of this video. What is it going to do to help Dr Dray. I litteraly pointed out to Swayze underneat that comment that this is creating the new Euginia Clooney. Swayze acknowledges this in this video acknowledge that calling her out is pointless yet proceeds to post this bullshit.

Thatveganlifestyle Are you aware of the concept of constructive criticism?

@@Thatveganlifestyle "The situation" is we can't actually help Dr. Drey and we, as a bunch of strangers on the internet, could do more harm than good to her. We're not her family, we're not her friends, we're not anyone she would considering listening to. It's clear that she doesn't want to listen to strangers on the internet either (by deleting comments that point out her behavior), and Swayze is pointing that out in this video. Swayze made this video because people kept trying to get her to comment on it. She did and pointed out that she can't do anything, and she doesn't want to create another Euginia Clooney situation.

@@sourgreendolly7685 Are you aware of the concept of "exacerbating a problem" .

@@InspirationOfTheArts You are joking right. If she didn't want to Eugenia Clooney this woman she wouldn't have run with the suggestion and made this video (fully monetized of course out of the kindness of her heart off course). She could have kept it moving. It's that simple. This is not helpinf anybody and it's too severe of an issue to make casual video on.

Same, but I never comment because I know a couple young women who are very very thin due to other health issues (Crohn's and a seizure condition) and I know it was a sensitive topic for them.

She definitely has anorexia/orthorexia

@@tinaknox2458 lol yeah. Visible chest bones, dry grey skin. She looks like she has a BMI of 15.

serephina nykt yes you’re right I felt same way

tina knox ana ortho combo :( sad

I think even addressing it as an issue is key for her viewers! But also it's different than euginia because she is showing her eating and excersize and doing things like being sponsored by active wear. She is also a doctor and while not a dietician young people are more likely to trust what she does as advice and wanting to look or be like her in order to achieve "health" ya know? I'm never desiring that we make content and money off of someone's misfortune which I am happy she addresses in the video.

@@lunasmoonlight714 U.V can point out that Dr Dre looks extremely unhealthy, so that there isn't just a wave of vegans online praising her and her lifestyle. Veganism gets presented as an eating disorder, and not calling it out, makes it worse. As every country in the world increases it's total meat consumption, it renders us few vegans entirely irrelevent. Veganorexia nervosa is leading to a wave of white girls being vegan during their moody years and giving up, and making veganism seem inherently unhealthy in the meantime, so nobody else considers it either. You say that she is obviously sick... but plenty of people with eating disorders are inspired by such looks and then to see her getting nothing but praise, only perpetuates that concept. UV despite her complaining about how hard her life is, actually chooses to do YT as a job. If she doesn't like it, she should stop.

If a person is attracted to those videos because of the way she looks, they're already there, at least mentally. It bugs me when people say otherwise. It's like a mother saying, "Johnny was such a great kid until he got in with the wrong crowd." No. Johnny went looking for that crowd. He found the crowd he already felt he belonged to. Even suggesting that someone developed anorexia because they saw or heard about someone else, absolutely diminishes and ignores that person's own struggle, and is never, EVER helpful.

@@Mikathedog100 Cool. I work with animals. Normal people see veganism as an eating disorder because all they see is legions of malnourishment white girls on YT selling diet plans and catching a plane across the world every 5 minutes. Veganism seems to a lot of people a thing that self-righteous white people do, to pretend they are better than other people, and pass their eating disorder off as a morality choice. Maybe white girls with eating disorders are not the only people who matter. Maybe some vegans became vegan for animals and stay vegan for animals, and thus spoiled, white girl rights are not that important to them.

@@Tyffanie No, I totally get it. Honestly. I guess it's just such a difficult topic. I totally get what you're getting at and sure.. it's dangerous and wrong to post such things, but then, like car. A said, if young, impressionable and maybe borderline anorexic girls seek out Dr Drays content, they are already seeking out that kind of triggering message. You know what I mean? I totally get your problem with Dr Drays authority due to her being a doctor, thus making her claims regarding health more believable, but she does mention in the beginning of her videos that she's NOT a dietitian. I don't know.. It's just overall such an unfortunate situation..

There are videos of her in treatment from when?

I watched you video and you made some valid points. I went through eating disorder treatment with some people who were medical professionals, and everything I see with Dray is so similar to what I observed with them-its all dressed up as concern for health and no one questioned it since they were nurses/therapists. There was so much shame and secrecy for them because they saw it as a professional failing. Doctors aren’t immune to mental or physical illness, and if they need help, there shouldn’t be shame around getting it. It doesn’t mean they aren’t good at their job or that they aren’t intelligent... But damn, it seems like so many people think that only stupid people get eating disorders and by saying that Dray May have an ED, we’re calling her stupid.

@@willowashe Amazing points! My friend just commented that he thought people with ED are usually more intelligent than average, its just the emotional part is unbalanced.

As soon as I’m done with this video I’ll be watching yours. I think she’s very disordered and I find her to be really triggering.

@@tomjones2157 This might sound odd & dark, but I wish someone would have told me that while I was battling. Positions regarding my mind (accurate or not) have always been extremely impactful for me. _Being glass half-full here😋🤦‍♀️._ But yeah, I'm wondering if hearing that would have given me a nice boost in confidence; something severely lacking in those with eds.

She actually looks a tiny bit better than a few months back, when her skin was discolored from malnutrition, but I agree that she can be hard to watch

would you not watch/like someone just because they’re overweight too?

@@cj-pe5mj Yeah I feel like this is a bit rude

John Kastronis ME TOO! I literally pick them off or out of anything I eat if they’re in it. I also have a strong aversion to melted cheese, if I eat it I can get sick. It’s so hard to find people with my taste aversions, so far I’ve only met three people that hate it like I do and I’ve been around two decades.

I used to hate mushrooms but my tastebuds have changed a bit. I like them cooked, but only in small pieces (fuck off, portabella mushrooms being used as a substitute for a burger patty) and I hate them raw. They really do taste like dirt on their own.

Sorry i hear this a lot. But I love mushrooms. Haha. My boyfriend hates them.

I would recommend washing the dirt off before eating 😉

/s jk jk

Bruh shes ana

except Diane is Vietnamese

Denise Nova was talking about personality

Denise Nova she is a cartoon character 😂😂 I agree she does resemble Diane

@@adinacora: I think she's more like Daria but Diane is a reference to Daria so there's that.

Joawia I watched the video where she first talks about it. I don’t think she cares that much about the supplement she just likes the taste.

@@solarmoth4628 she likes the taste but keep in mind magnesium has a mild laxative effect....

Likely because caffeine from an entire French press worth of coffee is a pretty good appetite suppressant, as is filling up on nearly 2 liters of liquids before having anything with actual calories.

The fact she flush down a big potion of Magnesium supplement, rather eating a single banana, that would contain the ammount of magnesium an adult need in a day, and contains a tiny bit of Potassium, just to ensure the digest system is balance. Magnesium mixed in water is used as laxative, you can buy that in a lot pharmancies. Caffeine wouldn't be very potent compared to magnesium, in fact it is like very eh, ineffective. I think without knowing the product doses, she use a lot more than recommended dose, because she use it as laxative, and a way hiding it.

@@inkerstales2336 she eats bananas in 1/3 portions. as in she takes a banana and cuts it into thirds. it's disturbing.

Vegan is most afforadable? Now that's a budget comparison i would love to see, she has a lot of volume and then all the supplements and additives in her what i eat

Actually she has said that she was not a big meat eater before and was already mostly plant based so she decided to just go ahead and do it all the way.

Four sigmatic is so pricey though.

Beans are pretty affordable. Not sure about everything else though

Alexis Crawford right!! she’s a dermatologist- they’re one of the most highly paid specialities-pretty sure she’s doing very well for herself. A load of bologna indeed!
