My name is Ben Greenfield. Welcome to the show.

Jay, I'm poked full of holes. Like, what do you call that thing that gets poked full of holes?

Not a voodoo doll. Swiss cheese? Swiss cheese? No, it's something else. A pin cushion.

I'm poked full of holes like a pin cushion. So...

Are your kids using you as a target or something? No. I do a quarterly, like a big

quarterly blood test. It's like 19 tubes of blood. It's the longevity panel,

is what it's called. Did you say 19 vials? Yes, 19 vials. Vials aren't that thick.

I think it comes out to maybe a quarter of what you give if you were to actually go donate blood.

But it looks like an oppressive lineup of tubes, but they are pretty skinny.

It comes out to, I guess that would be about a quarter pint.

So I did that yesterday, is just my quarterly checkup.

You know me, I'm always doing different hacks and supplements and protocols.

Being on the crazy. I just like to keep my finger on the pulse of all this.

I consider it to be my duty to mankind to go and...

I think so. That's what they pay you for.

Yeah. So I went in yesterday and I gave all these blood tubes.

And I left and I hydrated and I even did one of those Myers cocktail push IVs

that Dr. Craig Conneiver, down in Charleston, down in your neck of the woods,

sends out to me. I took care of myself.
