This is such a remarkable feat for me, because 90% of the podcasts out there stop publishing after their first three episodes, and of the remaining 10% that get past it, 90% stop at 20. Yet, here we are, at our 400th—a milestone I couldn’t have reached without your unw...2025-01-1520 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryThe Myths of Fertility in MenSo, let’s talk about myths surrounding male fertility and why it’s crucial to understand that fertility issues aren’t just a woman’s concern… Have you ever heard of the phrases “real men don’t have fertility problems”, “age doesn’t matter for men”, or “fertility issues are a woman’s problem”? These half-truths and misconceptions aren’t just wrong—they’re harmful. It’s a common belief, but it’s far from the truth. In fact, 40-50% of all fertility challenges are due to male factors—and yet, myths and misinformation keep many men from unders...2024-12-1112 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryHow Do You Cope With GriefSo, let’s talk about the silent weight of grief—especially as it surfaces during the holiday season when everyone else seems to be celebrating… Coping with grief is a deeply personal experience that’s often misunderstood by many. Contrary to others’ belief, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. It is a highly individualized process that for a lot of people, moving forward happens differently. Unfortunately, this often goes unacknowledged, leading some individuals to feel pressured to move on quickly. This is because, as those around them may suggest, others seem to have already done so....2024-11-2111 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryHow Serious is Sleep ApneaSo, let’s talk about sleep apnea—its seriousness and why we must stop overlooking it like it’s not a health issue that deserves our attention… Ever wondered how something as common as snoring could be a sign of a serious health concern? Contrary to what many people think, snoring—even when someone’s makes it so hard for you to sleep—is not merely a harmless annoyance. In some cases, it indicates sleep apnea—a condition that often gets brushed off but can have severe health implications if left untreated. It can get as serio...2024-11-0620 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryWhat Vitamins and Supplements Is Everyone GettingSo, let’s talk about the high-in-demand vitamins and supplements people are actively looking for nowadays… At my recent doctor’s visit, I discovered that my vitamin D levels were low despite living in sunny Florida. So naturally, I was prescribed vitamin D supplements—which made me think about the lack of nutrition education we, healthcare professionals, receive during training. This made me want to learn about the wide range of vitamins and supplements out there—and now, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with you. So to start things with, in today...2024-10-3015 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryThe Black Girls and Womens Autism Summit with Maria Davis-Pierre, LMHCSo, let’s talk about the FREE virtual summit happening on October 19th as organized by Autism in Black Inc… Are you a Black autistic girl, woman, or female-presenting?

And if you've been following me long enough, you’ll know that I’m not talking about a medical conference here. Not that I hate medical conferences, but the ones that get me really hyped and energized are just so far from medicine. And today, I’m going to share...2024-10-0216 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryWhy Your Doctor Cant Sell You On Getting HealthySo, let’s talk about the reasons why your doctor struggles to sell you the promise of better health… Have you ever wondered why no matter what your doctor says, it doesn’t seem to stick and just goes in one ear and out the other? It’s not that they lack knowledge or expertise. For some reason, though, they really can’t seem to persuade you to do what they’re saying. Truth is, while doctors are trained to diagnose and treat, we’re not taught how to motivate patients to take charge of their health—a...2024-09-2326 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryAnswering Youtubes Pressing Covid-19 QuestionsSo, let’s talk about the comments people left on our “Are COVID Cases Rising Again?” video… I haven’t talked much about COVID-19 this year, because aside from the fact that there are other things we need to discuss, I also know people are trying to move on from talking about it. However, in one of our recent episodes where we discussed the rise in cases once again, we received comments mostly about virus and vaccine fallacies. I don’t know where they get their information, but it’s hilarious how those who seem to re...2024-08-2819 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryShould Doctors Talk Politics With Their PatientsSo, let’s talk about the importance of doctors talking about politics with their patients… If you’ve been following me, especially on social media, you’ll know that there’s typically no topic that I run away from, especially when I know that it affects my patients. And you best believe that politics has always been one. Because I know—and there’s so much history to show—that decisions made in politics affect the patients I’m taking care of right now, not only for today but for the decades to come. That’...2024-08-1423 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryNoah Lyles Wins Bronze While Battling COVID-19So, let's talk about what happens when an elite athlete faces one of the most challenging situations imaginable—competing while battling COVID. In this episode of Real Physician Reacts, we dive into the incredible story of Noah Lyles, the gold medalist in the 100 meters for the USA and the bronze medalist in the 200 meters. What makes this story even more remarkable is that Noah achieved this while battling COVID. This revelation sparked a lot of discussions online, with people divided over whether he should have competed or not.

And if they are, should we be worried about it? In this episode, I want to take you through the current situation regarding COVID cases. We all remember the initial chaos and fear when the pandemic first hit. It was a time of uncertainty, lockdowns, and relentless news updates. But now, we’re in a different phase. COVID isn't the new unknown enemy anymore; we’ve learned a lot about it, and we’ve developed ways to manage it. If you’re...2024-08-0716 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryA Friendly Chat with Dr. Berry PierreWelcome to another episode of Real Physician Reacts with Dr. Berry Pierre.

If you realize your current doctor is not properly taking care of you, you’ll need to make the difficult decision of firing your doctor and looking for a new one. However, some might find that transition challenging, not knowing what to do and where to start. That’s why...2024-07-3121 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryHow To Choose The Right Health Care InsuranceSo, let's talk about making informed decisions when choosing your healthcare insurance plan… How do you make sure that you’ve got the right health care insurance? I think this is an important question to ask yourself, because typically, when people look for insurance coverage, they only focus on the premium, a.k.a. the payment. But insurance isn’t just about the premium; there are a lot of free or made-affordable things you can do that come along with a plan. However, as unfortunate as it is, even when 92% of this c...2024-07-2429 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryTake Advantage Of Your Preventative HealthSo, let’s talk about the importance of taking advantage of preventative health measures and services… After discussing the Affordable Care Act in last week’s episode, today, we’ll talk about taking advantage of the preventative health services made available to us. Statistics show that if we take advantage of these preventative health services, we live longer, healthier, and more fruitful lives. But now that the election’s coming around, you can hear people making statements that they want to get rid of Obamacare a.k.a. the Affordable Care Act. However...2024-07-1720 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryWhere Would You Be Without ObamacareSo, let’s talk about the Affordable Care Act a.k.a. Obamacare, and where we would be today without it… This is a question that I have been asking a lot lately. Especially with the upcoming elections, and with all the politicians and Supreme Court justices trying to do everything they can to challenge the Affordable Care Act – or some parts of it – to make it completely unconstitutional. This is why it’s important for us to remember that before Obamacare, there were 50 million Americans who were not insured. 50 million Americans were constantly at risk of ha...2024-07-1020 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryMy Autism In Black Conference RecapSo, let's talk about the experience of being at this year's Autism in Black Conference… When I first told my wife that we should do a conference on autism in Black, looking back, the first response that I got was “Why would we do a conference? Who would come to that?” Believe it or not, about four years ago, that’s what our thoughts were like that we even doubted if people would come. Then, fast forward to four years later, and we just realized that starting the annual conference had been the best dec...2024-05-0115 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryAre Your New Year's Resolution OverSo, let’s talk about our New Year’s resolutions and how we can keep them going throughout the year… How many of you have told yourself in November or December, “I’m going to stop playing games and I’m going to do better for myself because I know there’s not as many years in front of me as there may be behind me”? According to statistics, 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by mid-February; they don’t even make it to the first quarter of the year. And today, as your accountability...2024-04-2424 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryWhy Autism Awareness Means MoreSo, let’s talk about this year’s Autism Awareness Month… Autism Awareness Month is not just a yearly celebration in April; it’s something that’s personally changed me and my family’s lives. That’s why having an episode like this is special to me. It’s not just because it allows me to look back at the beginning of my journey of living with my spouse and raising two wonderful kids who have autism; it also allows us to celebrate the diversity of the human experience of dealing with autism or living with someone who...2024-04-1716 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryThe Dangers Of Delayed Care And DiagnosisSo, let’s talk about the deadly effects of delayed care, misdiagnosis, and delayed diagnosis as seen in the story of the late “Compton Bohemian”, Jessica Pettway… Have you ever brushed off a diagnosis even after experiencing signs and symptoms that aren’t normal to you? Have you gone through delayed care or a diagnosis from a healthcare provider you thought would help treat you? Just two weeks ago, famous YouTuber and beauty influencer Jessica Pettway died from stage 3 cervical cancer after having been misdiagnosed. Before her passing, Jessica disclosed that she had been misdi...2024-04-0330 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryCan a Professional Have a Job on The Side?So, let’s talk about the intersection of professions and other passions professionals have in life… In today's digital age, it is becoming more common for professionals to have an online presence.

This online presence allows us to connect with people beyond our immediate circle and make a positive impact on a larger scale. However, there are still those individuals who question whether professionals should be engaging in activities outs...2024-02-2820 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryAnother Black Father Advocating For Tony Snell and Autism AwarenessSo, let’s talk about Tony Snell’s fight for an NBA contract and how it could help not only him but also his autistic sons… The news of the former NBA player desperately looking for teams to be part of has recently gone viral.

Just last year, not only did he learn that he’s autistic; but he also discovered that both of his sons are autistic as well. And by bei...2024-02-0718 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryAre You Actually Mentally Fit To Get HealthySo, let’s talk about your mental readiness to get healthy… Since we are in January, that also means that it is New Year’s resolution season again. And in my ten years of experience as an attending physician, I’ve heard countless people say “This year, I want to be healthier.” But really, most of those people lose track of their New Year’s resolutions around February and March. That raises the question: Are you really mentally ready to get healthy? Because getting healthy is not going to happen overnight; it is a process that...2024-01-2425 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryAre you Ready for the New Year?So, let’s talk about the anticipation and enthusiasm for the upcoming year… How many of you are actually excited about going into 2024? Looking back at the beginning of 2023, we might have had some goals, some aspirations, or some things we wanted to do. Were you able to do them all? Were you successful? I know you guys say it every year — “I don’t know where the time went.” Well, I don’t know where time went, either. But one thing’s for sure: I don’t want us stuck, unhealthy, and just going through...2023-12-2717 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryThe Views Sunny Hostin vs Osteopathic MedicineSo, let’s talk about osteopathic medicine and why Sunny Hostin’s remarks should be debunked and called out… In a recent episode of The View, one of the most-watched daytime talk shows to date, host Sunny Hostin left a comment on former President Trump’s physician not being a medical doctor because he is a Doctor of Osteopathy. While discussing the report on the former President’s health, Hostin claimed that being a Doctor of Osteopathy and being a medical doctor are two different things. Unfortunately, this notion about having an MD degree vs...2023-12-0619 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryIs Being A Physician Even Worth It?

In the previous episode, I gave you all the negatives—why I didn't believe pursuing a career as a physician was worthwhile. This week, I’ll give you some reasons why I think this profession is obviously not only here to stay but should also be one of the...2023-11-2222 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryDo Health Care Leaders Have A Responsibility To Speak Out?So, let’s discuss whether healthcare leaders have a responsibility to speak out against injustices and wrongdoings outside the medical sphere or not… Recently, I came across this opinion article published by JAMA, one of the most established medical journals out there, with the title “Health Professionals and War in the Middle East”. And if you know me, you know that these things interest me. While there were parts in the article that I really agreed with what the author was saying, there were also parts that I found quite disingenuous. Ultimately, reading that article led me t...2023-11-1527 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryIs Being a Physician Even Worth it - Part 1So, let’s talk about whether or not becoming a physician is still worth it in the year 2023 onwards… If you’d be told that you’d have to spend around $218,000 and about 10-11 years to become a physician—not to mention the immense amount of stress, burnout, and lack of autonomy you’d go through once you get in the field, would you be willing to take the leap to sign up for that job? In a previous episode, we discussed how 1 in 4 US medical students consider quitting before they even become physicians. This is in relati...2023-11-0824 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryWhy Your Doctor is Not the Boss Anymore?So, let’s discuss why your doctor is not the boss anymore... Traditionally, we are accustomed to doctors telling us “Do this, take that, and see me again in three months”. While that kind of relationship is generally thought to be effective, it doesn’t actually work for everyone. Different doctors act differently, just as different patients have different needs. This is why it is so crucial for patients to recognize the type of doctor-patient relationship that fits them, and for doctors to adjust to what their patients need. So join me today...2023-11-0129 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryWhy your Doctor Needs to be your Health CoachSo, let’s discuss why your doctor needs to be your health coach... In last week’s episode, we talked about the importance of having patients trust and believe you as their doctor. But given the growing popularity of health and wellness coaching and the increasing trust patients place in coaches over physicians, lately, there’s a question that I’ve been asking myself a lot. Is just being a doctor enough? What is it about health and wellness coaches that got people rather listening to them than us? Join me as we ex...2023-10-2522 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryWhy You Don't Trust Your DoctorSo, let’s talk about the doctor-patient relationship. Even in the year 2023, despite the advancements in the field of medicine, many people still just can’t trust doctors. And I have to admit, most of the reasons for that are on us. And just a couple of weeks ago, while attending different conferences, my mind was blown by the sheer amount of people who said that they made a pivot in their life based on a direction from a doctor. Hearing people say “I don’t trust this guy”, “I don’t trust what he’s telling me”, a...2023-10-1824 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryAnother Pink October for Breast Cancer Awareness MonthSo, let’s talk about breast cancer as Breast Cancer Awareness Month starts… We’re going into the last quarter of the year. How many of you have had your annual wellness check-ups? So many people choose to let things happen to them for reasons like lack of trust, wherewithal, or ignorance, and later on, suffer the consequences for being too late. Regardless of the illness, remember that early detection is still key to more chances of being saved. So, as we welcome the month of October, we will talk about breast...2023-10-0430 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryThe 5 Biggest Future Trends In HealthcareThe 5 biggest future trends in healthcare...

Do you have a family member, a loved one, a coworker, and/or a friend who is 60 years old and above and has a lot of medication in their dresser right now? According to statistics, the use of one or more prescription drugs is more common among adults aged 60-79 compared with those aged 40-59. This, in and of itself, usually leads to a growing concern called polypharmacy. In layman's terms, polypharmacy is...2023-09-2030 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryThe Power of Awareness National Suicide Prevention WeekSo let’s talk about the alarming suicide crisis and how raising awareness can prevent more deaths and attempts… When people talk about suicide, we usually focus on the final act alone, where people take their own lives and eventually pass away. The truth is beneath the surface, suicide is actually a lot more than just the act of committing it. Did you know that around 700,000 deaths happen per year, making suicide one of the world’s leading causes of death? Imagine how many lives we could or could’ve saved, only if...2023-09-1323 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryThe Pain of a Sickle Cell PatientSo, let’s talk about the pain experienced by individuals with sickle cell disease… When is the last time you’ve been to a hospital? Living life with an ‘invisible’ disease, many sickle cell patients endure pain and discomfort that frequently goes unacknowledged and unnoticed. Many of these people are hospitalized an average of 3-6 times per year. However, due to the lack of visible symptoms, they often go undertreated. It’s disheartening how patient care for this remains overlooked even though sickle cell disease is the most inherited genetic disorder in the United State...2023-09-0621 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryCOVID-19 Cases on the RiseCOVID-19 cases are on the rise again, so let’s talk about it… I recently uploaded a video on TikTok where I was discussing my observations in relation to the recent rise of COVID-19 cases. Most of it was well-received, but there were also a lot of people who got flustered upon watching it. There, I called today’s COVID-19 situation the endemic phase, and unfortunately, some people misunderstood what I meant. So in this week’s video for Medicine Mondays, we’ll talk about the reason behind that claim.

Why is it important to be a person of cultural competence? In case you didn’t hear about it, Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Aniston recently got themselves caught up in issues concerning matters of antisemitism. This is for the ‘fake friends’ post of Foxx, which received quite a huge amount of backlash. Calling it antisemitic, people threw accusations for they claim Foxx pertained to people of the Jewish background. This very circumstance is the reason why we’re going to discuss cultural competence and its significance.

A lot of you may have seen it, but for those who have not, 81-year-old Senator Mitch McConnell suddenly froze mid-sentence at a podium during a press conference last Wednesday. This caused concerns from the public, for he appeared to be staring at blank space for 19 complete seconds. From questions about seizures to ones asking whether or not the Senator is a robot—all these conspiracy theories circulated since then. But is he really a robot? Did he really have a seizure?

Have you ever seen yourself craving your favorite food when traveling in a different country, but the moment you go to their grocery store, it’s nowhere to be found, most likely because it’s banned? Thinking about this, it’s somewhat wild that here in this country, we have foods that we eat on a daily basis, but if you travel abroad, they’d be like, “Do not bring that food over here.” Even I, when I heard about it, was shocked, but then realizations and epiphanies kicked in.2023-07-2614 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryIs Dr. Pierre Now a Youtuber?So let's talk about Dr. Pierre... If we would go back to 2007 and you’d asked me if I’d be a YouTuber, I would’ve thought that being a content creator was such a crazy idea. Looking back, I wasn’t even aware of what a podcast is, more so than being on YouTube. But then medical school came, and I realized how powerful social media could be, especially in the healthcare space. And so, for years now, I’ve been putting all these contents online, for you to access, listen to, and learn...2023-07-1319 minLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryLunch and Learn with Dr. BerryThe Ten Men's Health Issues That Should Be On Your RadarSo let's talk about the ten men's health issues...

A lot of us men grew up in an environment that tells us to “man up” at a very young age. As a result, we grow up as adults with unresolved traumas and issues.

But there rises another concern as people confuse coping and good mental health as a one-size-fits-all healing. They think everyone has to be able to operate the same way, to deal with stress and anxiety the same way; but that is just not the case.
