Another great video man!
Great video my brother.
" My hair is an absolute mess", as it looks anything but....LOL... All kidding aside, another great video! Can't believe the next video will be 60- Go get it!!!
You are in the zone! So you fell asleep- you are human after all! Now on to the next adventure :)
14:25 Seemed like you came back hung over 😂😂
hahahahahah🤣
You are a good explainer !
much appreciated! Always try to make it simple!
Opportunities present themselves to those who are prepared. Great job man I know nothing about the heart or medical school but it sounds like a great passion of yours that you’ll definitely strive in. 🎉🎉
Absolutely! thanks man!
Keep up the good work brother!! Just got through my second week of med school. Shadowing is a great way to learn and renews excitement!
Much appreciated bro! Congrats on getting through the 2nd week! You got this!
Hey man great video! Hope the shadowing goes great bro. Great diet too. Blessings :)!
Thanks man! Greatly appreciated as always.
Greetings!!! i notice no veggies are in your diet? Any reason? Once again...very impressed with your discipline-from eating, working out, studying, etc. Peace out and God Bless!
Hey there! Everything I do is off science and proven research studies. I eat an animal based diet. Plants/veggies have natural defense chemicals that damage your gut, inhibit nutrient absorption, mess with your hormones etc... (everyone has different levels of sensitivities to this) Also it has been scientifically proven that most vegetables contain naturally occurring carcinogens. This is just a brief summary, however I have chosen to eliminate greens/veggies from my diet (for the most part) based off the scientific research I have looked at from doctors. I feel my best on an animal based diet and my blood work looks fantastic. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think eating greens will kill you haha. I just choose not to eat them for the most part. However I do have broccoli and salads on the occasion cause it tastes so good! Great question.
hi Mr Spizzirri, what is one quote or words of wisdom that have stuck with you your whole life/career that keeps you going?
Great question, took some time for me to think about this. "The Truth Will Always Prevail". At the end of the day, when you dedicate yourself to GOD and your true purpose you will always come out on top. That simple.
Great video my brother.
much love brother!
Hello, I always feel like you are perpetual motion....only stopping to take a short breath and back at it again. I think its great that you adapt and adjust...its also healthier for you to rest and recharge. Another bang up video...no surprise! Peace out and God Bless!
Love your comments! Always have something thoughtful to say. Always moving forward to the next step! Thanks for your support as per usual. You better be watching on day 300 haha.
@@MikeSpizzirriI'm such a fan...I can't wait to continue watching your journey continue.
Let's go. Beast mode!
yessir!
im a firm believer of manifestation brother, park in that parking lot and look around, one day youll be the physician parked there brother
much appreciated brother. anything is possible through GOD.
Hello! Shocking, Im the first to comment, LOL This was another fantastic video! I am so amazed how your dedication NEVER wavers...no matter what. Looking forward to the next video as always- Peace out and God Bless!
hahah your continuous support is always appreciated! My dedication will never waver from my true purpose. Thats what I'm here to show. God Bless as well!
Great video my brother! Glad work was understandable- yeah man they use military time- but you signed up for PM evening shifts, so. Glad all is well my man, excited to keep up on the journey. Blessings.
Much appreciated brother. Appreciate you always watching!
Big fan here....hee hee. How you do everything you do at that pace is astounding! I know you will crush the redemption assignment! Good luck on the upcoming shadowing...which we all know, you will crush that as well! You have a great attitude and the world is yours :) Peace out and God Bless!
This means a lot, thanks so much! Just willing to do whatever it takes. You only live once!
Mistakes happen man, way to keep your head up and make the most of the day still!
much appreciated!
Excellent video!!! Just to share...i just had blood work done myself and im one of those difficult people to find a vein. They finally found a vein...but i look like i was visited by a vampire :( . Anyway..glad its done...that redemption assignment was like a thesis...wow!!! Keep swinging for the fences!
ya sometimes they go overboard on the poking when trying to draw blood. #1 thing I try to avoid. I know super long haha!
Thank you for the insight. I will be shadowing a general surgeon soon now
Congrats!
I have been facing his issue lately, my pre-med in my country is a bit different than yours, but lately the studying has been taking up so much time, there is days where the gym is out of reach, especially since my gym closes at 9 pm, but I always make sure that I hit all of my upper and lower body at least once a week (yesterday did 1000 pushups lol, making a video on it) but if you read this I have a question. How do you deal with all nighters? Do you sleep in the day the next day? How do you compensate for the loss of sleep??? Im curious to know since I will be starting to do this also soon.
Appreciate you watching my vids. First, def don't recommend all nighters. However sometimes you gotta do watcha gotta do. My body is use to all nighters at his point so if I need to pull one I will. I work remote so I try to get all my work done as fast as I can and then I will take a mid-day nap for a couple hours and then take another one later in the day. Good thing is, when you pull an all nighter you will be more tired earlier so the next day I usually go to sleep as like 10pm and wake up at like 5am. If you don't work remote, then you just have to push through and pass out when you get back from work.
@@MikeSpizzirri So 2x 3hour naps works for you? (approximately) thxx
love the grind. seeing you upload ur videos every night motivates me to get back to what i need to do. can't wait for the next!
Really appreciate this. Glad my vids have this effect on you. Keep grinding you got this. Thanks for taking the time to watch my vids!
Thank you for sharing your day to day experiences with us. You will crush your redemption assignments!!! Peace out!
much appreciated!
You applying this cycle or next cycle?
2025!
Great video man. Love the new look of the channel. Keep at it.
Much appreciated brother!
Thanks for sharing your warm up portion...for some reason your audio is a bit static when you are driving? Other than that...great video as always! Peace out!
No problem! thought I would show more of what I do for working out. I noticed every time I put my iphone the car mount and make a video it gets static. Not going to put it on the mount moving forward. Thank you!
amazing cheat meal
thanks, it was!
I'm shadowing an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow
Congrats! LMK how that does? First surgergy shadowing opp?
@@MikeSpizzirrinot the first I started with my pediatrician, also shadowing his surgeries were very cool and how he interacts with the patient before hand and he shows how determined he is to make sure that patient feel better, his job is super chill, everyone works as a group and I love how well respected the rest are around him
@@KoiDoesMed awesome, sounds like a great experience
with your knowledge in body building and just fitness i feel you would kill it as an orthopedic surgeon lmao. That plus you just give off the vibe of an ortho surgeon
I know man, In the back of my mind I'm always leaning towards ortho. Just feel like it fits me well! Loved shadowing ortho. Appreciate it brother!
big ups to yourself! wishing you the best with your road to med. I’m due to start this September, can’t wait. good luck with everything, don’t stop chasing the dream!
Much appreciated! Congrats on getting in! Good luck as well, you got this!
Hey Mike...one of your cheerleaders here :) How are you finding Chem 2? Compared to Chem 1? Always enjoy your videos, even the shorter ones. Peace out!
Fran! long time no talk! I took chem 2 in undergrad so not too bad. Just trying get familiar with all the topics again. Most people think because it's "Chem 2" it's harder then Chem 1 but the way I look at it is Chem 2 is just an extension of the material from Chem 1. Thanks for you continuous support. It will be crazy when it's like day 300!
What year are u?
final year of post-bacc program!
Hey Mike, just wanted to ask if you have tried clipping your mic to the collar of your shirt? Not that it is bad, but you like to use hand gestures and sometimes the mic may end up further than before.
Yes I might I have to start clipping the mic on. I noticed I bang the mic sometimes and the audio can be hard to hear. Thanks for the point out hahha
thumbnail game going strong
much appreciated!
Great video again man 🙏🏿🙌🏿
What’s your remote job if you don’t mind sharing? How did you switch to this job although you were studying premed in undergrad?
I work as a project manager within the marketing/tech industry. I got the job from a mutual connection. All about who you know when it comes to getting these remote jobs or any competitive job in general.
Another bang up video!! Are you going to have dedicated study time for the Mcat? The way you're going, you don't need it😊. I'm such a fan!
Thank you! I'm for sure going to have a dedicated study time for the MCAT. Going to start prepping 6 months out. I think you're my #1 fan at this point haha
@@MikeSpizzirri Always a pleasure :)
You motivate me everyday and remind me to work hard for my dream
So glad my vids have this effect on you! Keep moving forward with whatever you're pursuing!
Keep going!!! You are doing great!
Thanks for always commenting and being so positive!
Great work Man, keep pushing !!!
Much appreciated!
loving these videos man!
thanks so much! Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
From personal experience what set me aside from other applicants for my medical school and residency application was my work experience and my story. A lot of people can shadow which requires very little effort, but working with doctors was a key thing for me. I never shadowed a single doctor. I think the big thing in my residency/medschool personal statement was how I wrote it. The very first sentence is key, and it should be not about what you want, but who you are.
Appreciate you sharing and giving your insight. Working with doctors will 100% overpower any shadowing experience. Appreciate the tips on the writing. Will keep this in mind for my personal statement when applying to med school.
@@MikeSpizzirri for sure, I don't mind sharing my AMCAS stuff if you ever need an example. I'm a few years out but might help. Anyways good luck bud.
@@stoic-medicine that would be greatly appreciated! likewise!

Much appreciated!
That was great!!!
Thank you fran!
Great video man. These are all great tips. Saved it to my medical school playlist for the future. Blessings.
Hope it helps bro!
Cardiothoracic is my dream specialty!! I wish I could've shadowed my dad’s surgeon. Him experiencing three heart attacks and surviving surgery impacted me and pushed me to want to pursue this path as well. I hope you share the experience with us!!
wow sounds like we have very similar paths and experiences. Appreciate you sharing! Where are you currently in your premed journey?
Yes! Follow through is something I preach all the time in my life. I was reflecting on it one day when I was cleaning and I realized there are people who talk about what they want to do and there are people who execute the plan. Words are nice, but the actions get us to where we want to be. Without that we can't grow.
100% accurate! Action and getting it done is all that matters. Appreciate you watching my vids!
Great news, shadowing is so beneficial
yessir!
Wow. Your busy. Wish the best for you!
Thanks! You too!
