You're listening to the human upgrade with Dave Asprey.

Today we're going to talk about lies, specifically lies from medical school with a very, very well-known field in, say, biohacking and longevity,

0:23.0

and because there's a lot of longevity in biohacking,

0:25.7

none other than Dr. Robert Lufkin.

1:32.7

Rob, am I a madman?

1:34.7
