So you might be optimized on the outside, but what's actually

happening in your blood.

So in this episode I have Dr. Anne Truong here talking about how toxins impact your

testosterone, your mood and longevity, and how you can take back control.

Let's dive in.

Dr. Anne Truong, how are you?

And I'm happy we're chatting here.

You know, we're already having a great pre-chat, so, um, you have a lot of,

lot of thoughts and so many, so many.

You have a really cool background with Dr. Savage.

Actually, I wanna start there because he is my host slash co-host, you know, here.

But, uh, tell me how that all kind of started, you know,

that, that relationship, what

Wow.

He is really my mentor.

Uh, when I first, um, started learning about hormones, that was

like in 2011 or so, uh, when I started learning about sexual health.

Uh, I know I needed to, I needed, I know I need to learn about hormones.

I attended the anti-aging, uh, conference, and he was on the big stage talking

about it, and he had a workshop.

I signed up with him, he taught me everything I know about hormones, uh,

and, uh, and anti-aging, um, at that time.

And so I, I, I really owe it to him a lot and.

Uh, he remembered me and we reconnected again.

So, and, and I even thought by his office actually, uh, when he was in

Chicago, uh, practicing in Chicago and thought by his office and, uh,

see how he runs the office and really mirror my practice similar to how,

uh, he runs his practice, uh, as well.

So he's a pioneer.

Uh, and anti-aging and hormones and, uh, certainly in toxin because

when we learn about anti-aging, we have to learn about toxin.

Uh, and it all goes to together, you know, and now, you know,

with, uh, plasma exchange.

It is just a next sensible step for him, and I'm hoping to

learn that from him as well too.

Yeah.

Well now you're, you're working with men on their vitality of

people with Ed, you know, um.

Their sexual performance.

Just, I, I think it's just their wellbeing as well.

But I guess like, talk about how, like what you learned there with

hormones, what you're learning now.

Obviously the topic of toxins is everywhere.

It's up even more, I think for good reason.

'cause they, they are everywhere.

then, um, how does it relate to what you're doing?

I guess give us like the, kind of the overview of your thoughts

and then we'll start diving in.

You know, is, is, uh, toxins everywhere.

Unfortunately, we can't avoid it.

Even the air we breathe, uh, the food we eat, uh, and um, the drinks, you know,

the water we drink, you know, uh, as well.

And, uh, you're gonna have to live in a. Bubble, if you can avoid that.

Um, certainly.

I mean, I love to eat fish and, um, I think it was like maybe, uh, 10, 10

years ago I found out I had, I had, uh, a lot of, uh, toxin like silver,

you know, um, because I, I like to eat fish, but it wasn't wild caught.

I just.

I could eat a lot of fish.

And so I had to detoxify myself for, um, at least like nine months, uh, liver

detoxification where I took a bunch of supplements, uh, and to cleanse my

liver, uh, deeply, or that was the only way you can detoxify the, your liver in

your body is the filter of the toxin.

And, uh, because our body's made of organic material.

Uh, meaning that it, it's made out of carbon organic.

So toxin is something that your bo is different than, than your body.

And your body senses it and it sends it to the liver and say,

liver, convert it to some form that I can work with in the body.

And whatever's left, I'm just gonna go to the, go to the kidney, and then you,

you know, get rid of it or go to your intestine and get rid of that through.

You know, your stool.

And so the liver does a lot of work, uh, and a lot.

That's why a lot of us end up with fatty liver.

Uh, and you hear about cirrhosis, but cirrhosis mainly more with

alcohol or, um, uh, or, or you know, I guess, uh, scars, uh, liver, but

fatty liver is very, very common.

is that, is that like a toxin driven thing, or is like

overworking, you know, the whole

Uh, overworking, uh, toxin and overworking.

Um, uh, diabetics have fatty liver, uh, and, um, um, obese, uh,

uh, obesity will have you prone to getting fatty liver as well.

High cholesterol.

You will have fatty liver and in fact, I would tell you this

'cause I do regenerative medicine.

So we harvest your own stem cells in your body to, uh, put it in an

area to restore, uh, uh, blood flow.

And we can tell who has high cholesterol in their blood.

When we draw their blood out, so we draw their blood out, we put it in centrifuge

and we spin it so we can separate out the red blood cell from the white blood

cell, from the platelets, and we can tell by the consistency of the blood and the

plasma that the color, the consistency, the viscosity of the, the blood, whether

they have high cholesterol or not.

And those that have high cholesterol, their, uh, color

of their blood is not as red.

And that the color of their plasma, which is without the red blood cell, it, it

is kind of like a, a very dark yellow.

Uh, there are certainly, blood difference in, in your blood if

you have high cholesterol, uh, and or, uh, uh, high blood sugar, which

is, uh, uh, diabetes, uh, as well.

Because when you draw the, when you draw the, uh, when you draw it out, you can

literally sometimes see a fatty layer.

In the blood.

Yeah.

Oh my God.

Yeah.

Wow.

Well, so you're, yeah, you're focused there.

And I'm curious, 'cause you, you said you learned a lot about hormones

from Dr. Savage, but also just your own work with what you're doing.

You're doing a lot there with hormones, how, like you mentioned, toxic, like

how do those kind of play together?

Is there any relationship, some, some themes that you're seeing that

Right?

should just be aware of and, and, and maybe there's action steps.

Yeah.

So toxin create an, uh, an infl inflammatory, uh, state in your body.

So what does inflammatory mean?

Inflammation mean that it's kind of, I describe it as like the body's on fire.

It's not balanced, it's on fire.

And what it does is that it creates, um, um.

Uh, imbalance.

So what it does is that it damages the lining of the blood

vessel called the endothelium.

So the endothelium is the one cell layer lining that line.

Your blood vessels.

We have five miles of blood vessels in our body.

Okay?

And, um, and so imagine the lining.

It's just a thin film.

That line, it's like a pipe, your blood vessels like a

pipe, and it has a thin film.

That thin film is lined by the cells called endothelial cells.

And those cells are what, uh, keep the toxin out from seeping

in to through the, the artery and, and then through the cells.

But however, inflammation, um, the an o toxin will damage that layer, which

then create like a hole, so that way the toxins seep in through your artery

and then eventually to your cells.

So your blood vessel is the one that protect you from getting toxin, but the

toxin itself damage that cell layer, which then it, it's almost like you

have a wall and you have a hole and the, you know, the toxin just goes

through the hole and sleep in through.

Our cells, and that's what damages the, uh, the DNA damages, uh, you

know, the mitochondria and the whole working, uh, of the cells.

So, um, that's what toxins do.

Now, how does that relate to sexual health?

Well, sexual, uh, sexual health for a man, in order for a man to, uh, get,

you know, firm enough for activity, he needs to increase four 40 times.

More blood flow down there compared to a flaccid state.

So what that means is that he needs those blood vessel to be, to be good,

to be good and intact, so that way there's more blood flowing through.

So if, if he has toxin, then those blood vessel will be damaged by the toxin,

so it's not gonna have enough blood flow flowing through the sexual organ.

In order for it to be functional.

And that's how it affects sexual health because it affect blood

flow, it affect the amount of blood that goes to the end organ.

And it's, it's not just a sexual organ.

We're talking about a heart organs, uh, as well.

Uh, so the cumulative, uh, over time and what you care about is those endothelial

cells 'cause those endothelial cells.

If they're damaged, you're prone to getting blood clots.

You're prone to getting heart attack, which is blood clot in the heart, right?

You're, and, uh, and, uh, you get less de uh, decreased

blood flow when you have death.

Decreased blood flow.

I mean, blood is life to any organ.

Right.

So Uhhuh.

yeah.

Yeah.

Well, it, it, it, uh, it will contribute to dementia, uh, uh, strokes.

Strokes is essentially a blood clot and, uh, artery, uh, of the brain, uh, as well.

So it always, but interestingly for a man, you know, when he has Ed, it's a

warning sign because the blood vessels in, in his sexual organ is the smallest.

In the body compared to anything else.

So when, when, uh, um.

times still.

Right?

Yeah, exactly.

right?

Yes.

So, so it's a precursor.

It's, it is a warning sign that, uh, he, he has toxin or

inflammation in his, uh, in his body.

So it's really mother nature's way of saying, Hey, guy, you know?

Uh, you're, you're not functioning.

Uh, uh, well, let's, let's take a look at what's going on with your, you know,

so there, there, there are four things that affect sexual function, diet, right?

Uh, what type of foods?

Either eating processed foods, eating, you know, uh, carb or fatty food.

And then second is, um, uh, exercise if you're not exercising,

uh, at least three times a week.

And the third is sleep.

Adequate sleep.

Um, uh, because when you sleep, your body heal physically and mentally.

And then the fourth one is stress reduction.

And stress.

Stress also, uh, is like a toxin itself 'cause stress, uh, also

induces endothelial dysfunction.

And it also lower, uh, testosterone, uh, as well.

So all, all, it's like almost like if you have toxin, it, it kind of, uh,

affect, um, every aspect of your body as in blood flow, hormone, uh, level,

uh, and the functioning of the organs.

That's what, yeah.

It seems like in, in relating back to inflammation, 'cause

that's kind of where you started.

Like that's the body on fire, right?

So

Yeah.

it can't be good for everything inside there if things are I mean, they're,

they're burning literally, they're probably bigger right than, than normal.

Not in the, not in a good way, the way

Uh huh.

Yeah.

But, uh, yeah, like how in, like, there any repairing that, that lining that you

described, like is there any kind of going back or reversing, have you, have you

Absolutely.

We know that you can do that.

You can actually repair that by, uh, first of all, you know, removing the toxin,

you know, because you know, as we know there, there are tests that can be done.

Uh, uh, blood test, saliva tests, even through tests that can measure

the toxin that we have in our body and we can have a lot of toxins.

So, uh, and, uh, so that's so objective data.

And then the third part, the good part is that you can get rid of that

and, and that is plasma exchange.

It's just essentially taking all the.

Exchanging your plasma, taking all the toxin out, and then put putting

your good plasma back into you again.

So it's all the same thing.

It's, it's your blood, it's nobody else's blood.

It's just kind of like a filter, pushing it through a filter, taking out the toxin

out and giving the, your good blood back, uh, into you that that's the fastest way.

And probably more comprehensive way now you can do it, uh, uh, naturally, uh,

yourself, but it would take a long time.

Uh, you would have to detoxify your liver, uh, and, uh, that would,

and take supplement and also, uh, laxative and, you know, to really

cleanse and detoxify, uh, the liver.

It, it, yeah, it takes about three to nine months.

I, I had to detoxify myself and it took me nine months and with testing to,

uh, get back to, uh, homeostasis again.

Um, and, uh, but you can also do it by, uh, diet, you know, eating a

clean, healthy diet, no processed food.

Uh, you can eat carb, but I, I call it, you know, mother

nature's diet with eat everything.

The mo uh, the eat, everything the Earth gave you.

Uh, don't eat anything in a box or bag, uh, and, uh, whatever the mother Earth

gave you, eat that and then get it.

Exercise.

You know, even just walking, you know, 30 minutes, three to four times

a week is adequate enough because when you exercise, uh, it increase

your, uh, your testosterone hormone.

You know, for women, same thing.

It increase your hormone, but when you exercise.

The, uh, it actually start to heal that endothelium because your heart start

to beat faster and more blood flow.

You're inducing more blood flow, um, uh, as well.

And then also, you know, sleep, because sleep is so critical because when you

sleep, that's when the body kind of clean itself, uh, it start to clean

itself and it start to heal itself.

So.

Physical healing starts from 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM where your body kind

of goes in, cleans the dirt, and then starts a renewal, and then

mental healing from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM So the latter part of the sleep.

Yeah.

So you ever notice you don't have good sleep, especially around

early morning hours, you're foggy.

You're not as clear in thought.

Yeah.

You are not as clear in thought.

So the, the mental clarity is that between the two to 6:00 AM uh, yeah.

Yeah.

thing.

It's like, okay, protect the body first.

You know,

Yeah.

our heart and all that, but then the brain comes kind of second,

Uh, yeah, because you know, mo, most people can kind of function,

uh, when they have poor sleep, but they can still function.

But if you don't have, you, you don't sleep at all, then you

are just li you know, the, you know, you're confused, right?

Yeah.

So you have to sleep.

that's why sleep is important.

And then the stress reduction, uh, like I mentioned earlier, yeah.

Yeah.

So the, uh, the, with the stress reduction, it will also, you reduce

the stress that will reduce cortisol.

Then if we, cortisol is reduced, uh, thyroid hormone, uh, increases,

uh, uh, uh, testosterone increase and all the sex hormone, uh,

increase and the less inflamed.

Oh,

Yeah.

naturally, yeah, reducing the cortisol, you know, and all of these other.

Better things are happening.

Yeah.

Testosterone

Uh huh.

increases.

Yeah,

Yeah, testosterone increases.

Yep.

And so thyroid, kind of like the cortisol is a, is a big driver.

It kind of controls all the other hormones, uh, as well.

And, uh, and the other hormone kind of react to it, the hormones

is, it is a, it is a seesaw.

It's a balancing act in your body.

Uh, and it's also a feedback loop.

And, uh, you know, just those four things that I mentioned

you can work with, uh, on it.

Um, but get testing so you know what's working, um, or not,

or just get plasma exchange.

It's a faster way of get, do toin out and get, and get and getting your,

and then, you know, re infusing your good plasma back into your body.

And it can stay for years, uh, on end.

so let's talk about that because you know, you've obviously done

some detoxing yourself and you've.

You, you've done the toxin testing as well, at least multiple

times it sounds like, like

Yeah.

as well.

So it's like you, you know your baseline, right?

Mm-hmm.

and you say, you know, you, you work with a lot of, a lot of men on helping

with the hormones and, and all these other things, but it's almost like if you

don't get rid of the toxins, that piece in the middle there, then you're never

gonna get the perfect results, right?

That you're really looking for.

At the end, so addressing the toxin burden in our bodies, however level

that is, seems like it's like target that, but like figure out a strategy

there and then optimize, right?

Absolutely.

You know, so that, that's why I'm really excited about, uh, plasma

exchange because, uh, you know, we're, we're good at optimizing with

hormones and with peptides and with diet and with, you know, exercise.

We're good at putting the good stuff in.

We're not that great at taking out the bad stuff other than

watching what we eat, right?

I mean, that's about it.

You know, watching what we eat and, uh, you know, sleep and exercise.

That's really all we have and supplement that.

All, all the stuff the detox supplement does is really cleanse the liver.

It goes in cleanse.

So it just dumped up, out, you know, through, you know, through

your kidney, you urinate or, uh, through your, uh, intestine.

So that's the only way you can kind of get things out.

But sometime that's not a hundred percent either.

Uh, and that, that's all depends upon how, you know, how your liver's working.

And I would tell you the, the toxin, uh, I mean the detoxification

regimen, it is a lot of pills.

Uh, that you have to take.

Yeah, it's about 20, 20, 25 pills a day, uh, that you have

to take for, uh, months on end.

But, you know, that was years ago I did that and there wasn't any other option.

Um, and so, uh, but now, you know, we, we have, we have options, uh, now,

and, uh, the, the key is, is this, the key is that the more toxin you have.

The more inflammation you have, and that's gonna affect longevity, gonna affect your

health because now we're living longer and we wanna live with better quality of life.

I. And, and, and better quality of life, better even sexual health.

I, you know, I believe that, uh, that you can have sexual health to the day

you die, um, by controlling toxin, by optimizing your, your, your diet,

your exercise, and your hormones.

Um, and, um, you know, by, by doing that, then you can really have true,

um, wellness and health and longevity.

and like, you know, I know what you see, men primarily are, I think exclusively,

but a lot of this, like you said, translates to women as well, right?

Like, I mean, women have testosterone as well.

We're all dealing with toxins.

Inflammation.

So like is there anything that you would say to women specifically

that might be different potentially?

Yeah.

Well, you know, uh, interestingly, yes, yes.

I would have to say, you know, out of the, uh, women, we have to worry

about three different normal men.

You just have to worry about one testosterone.

Okay.

Women, we, uh, uh, we have testosterone, we have estrogen,

and we have progesterone.

Three hormones and estrogen and progesterone's responsible for,

uh, uh, for, uh, pregnancy, right?

The balance between dose, pregnancy and um, a menstrual cycle.

Testosterone, uh, help with, uh, sexual drive muscle bone health.

But believe it or not, women have more testosterone in their body than estrogen.

Right.

And uh, but women only have one 100 of the amount of testosterone compared to a man.

A man has a hundred times more testosterone than a woman.

And, uh, and, and conversely, we, uh, women have, uh, a hundred

times more estrogen than a man.

Uh, and, but women out of the three testosterone is more than estrogen.

I wanna clarify that.

Right.

And so.

Um, whatever, uh, we talked about for men is applicable for women as well too.

Uh, it's just that women, you just have to be concerned between balancing the

three hormone, uh, together and then sometime when, when you're working with

women, uh, that still have the uterus.

Uh, and, uh, balancing the hormones, uh, is tricky because.

If you do too much, they may have their menstrual cycle again or

mess up their menstrual, uh, cycle.

Right?

And so it can be kind of challenging, like that is easier

if a woman has a hysterectomy in, uh, controlling, uh, her hormone.

But everything that we talk about is very, it's applicable

for women, uh, as well too.

And one of the things I wanted to say is that estrogen is actually

considered a catabolic hormone.

So.

so, uh, what do you mean by catabolic?

That it's inflammatory.

It's an inflammable inflammatory and that testosterone is considered anabolic.

Anabolic means growth.

Regeneration, A catabolic mean breakdown, degradation.

Um, and so, between the two, that's why we wanna optimize more of the testosterone.

The women, most women will come and see me for hormones.

They, oh, I don't care about testosterone.

I. I don't care about libido.

You know, we're, we're not doing hanky panky anyway 'cause my husband got issues.

But I said, no, you need your testosterone.

You need your testosterone to protect your bone, protect your muscle.

It's not just about, uh, sex, you know, as well too.

You need it as an anabolic, meaning it's protective is help you, uh, help grow.

Help renewal, it, help rejuvenation.

So I am, I'm all about maximizing that for women.

It's not about sex.

So when I explain that to them, they go, okay, that makes sense

why I need, uh, all three.

maybe, maybe sex isn't the thing that people are like, oh, I

need to optimize for that, but.

So what would you say to those folks?

And, and you know, let's, maybe the min Yeah.

As it, as it goes to, I, I think of blood flow and all the other good things

that we all need, but like, what do you, what do you help people optimize for?

Let's just say that because you know, like you're doing a lot of different protocols.

I know.

Um,

Yeah, well, I, I, I help them optimize for, um, living the best

quality of life you can as you age.

Uh, and so because that we have the technology now and the medication to keep.

People alive longer and longer, but do you want to, as you get older, you,

you want to be able to maintain your physiological health to, uh, uh, even be

better than your biological health, right?

Your age.

Yeah.

So you want your physiological health to be, uh, to be, um, uh,

younger than your biological age.

And there is actually a test for that.

Actually.

There is, yet there is a test for that.

There is a test for that to, to look at, uh, the blood test and also.

Uh, on, um, a test that you can mess, uh, with your hand.

Uh, I attended a conference, um, and, uh, there is a test for that and

I'm luckily I am, uh, eight years.

My physiological age is eight years younger than my, uh, biological age.

Uh, so I must be doing something right.

But, uh, so my point is that it's not about just, you know, sexual wellness,

it's about wellness and health.

there, there's two things for sure in life, we're gonna

be born and we're gonna die.

Right?

You may fall in love, may not fall in love, but you're gonna

be born and you're gonna die.

So we wanna, we wanna be able to have, uh, longevity, a longer

lifespan with a good health.

So that way, you know, what did your, uh, the way we, what we all wanna do is.

You know, you, you, you can control how you die by how well you live.

Because people that are healthy, when they pass away, they pass away very quickly.

They pass away in their sleep.

Yeah.

They don't pass away.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So if you are healthy.

Like you, you may just go to sleep at a hundred years old,

just, you know, pass away.

if you get sick you pass away very quickly within a few weeks or within a month.

There's no lingering over a month to years, there's no nursing

home, there's no, uh, any of that.

And I see that all the time 'cause I used to work in a nursing home,

um, as well in my ear early years.

And I can tell you the, the, the one that in nursing home, the one that

didn't really take care of themself when, uh, they were younger, uh, and,

uh, and they're, uh, it's, their body is slowly dying, uh, but not gone.

But when you are healthy, uh, and you take care of yourself, your body

is just gonna go well, you know, uh, I think I've reached my maximum.

I'm gonna go, but you go quickly.

I see that all the time.

So you can control how you, how you die.

But one thing you don't can't control is that whether you

have cancer or not, right?

So if the cancer is a totally different thing, but again, if you are healthy.

You are more resilient to cancer.

You are a, you're more resilient to, uh, uh, treatment and, and be able

to bounce back or be able to tolerate more, uh, treatment, uh, as well too.

So what, that's a tip that I tell my patient is that you can

control how you die by how you live

that's impactful right there.

Yeah.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's, I see it all the time.

Yeah.

I have a patient right now that's 98 years old.

She's very healthy, she's very healthy, cognitively, very sharp.

Just, uh, you know, her, her bones are wearing down a little bit and,

uh, she still live by herself.

Still drive her car, still go grocery shopping by herself.

Wow.

Yeah.

Good for her.

That's incredible.

And that's the thing, I mean, it's, and I'm sure genetics play into this

as well, there's like, like we were talking about, everyone's different

right at the DNA level as well.

Um.

Now I, I do wanna preface it that genetic, it, it, it's only, it's, it's

only the bullet is loaded in the gun.

What you do with your lifestyle is what's gonna pull that trigger.

Genetic doesn't mean that you are stuck.

And I mean, you may have a family history of Alzheimer or a family

history of stroke, a family history of heart disease, but however,

genetics combined with lifestyle, then that create, you know, the outcome.

So it's just a bullet and, and the gun.

But what you do with your life will actually change that expression.

Yeah.

I mean, that's so metaphoric for so many things.

Like we all have the bullet, but it's like, what do you choose to do?

You know, it, it's really our choice.

Yeah.

the way to, like what you said, the four, you know, the, the sleep, the diet, the

stress, the, the exercise, the toxins that we all know that are around us, are in us.

So what are we choosing to do with all that stuff?

Hmm.

Dr. Anne, is there anything that.

Is maybe like something that's surprised you recently with, with

any of these topics that you feel like we haven't covered here that

you just wanna, like you wanna share.

Maybe it's something that you're fascinated with.

You're starting to tell your patients

Well, I am, I am, I'm really excited about plasma exchange.

Really.

I think this is, is gonna be a game changer honestly, because

there's never been a way for us to totally detoxify, um, our blood.

Um.

No, I haven't seen anything like that at all.

Uh, and when, when I met, uh, when I, um, when I saw Dr. Chapman, he was

telling me about it makes perfect sense.

Uh, and, and if you're in the anti-aging world for a long time, you are very

familiar with toxin or inflammation.

Uh, and it just makes sense to me how it work.

And I, I just hope that it become, uh, more available, uh, more accessible.

And I really, truly believe once that it is, we'll probably live up to 200 years.

Uh, if that is the case, I think that, uh, a longevity, you know, living to

a hundred to a couple hundred years even beyond, really depends upon how

we get rid of toxin in our body because there's an invisible, infection.

I almost like an infection.

It's invisible.

We don't feel it, you know, like sometime even getting a headache.

It's a sign that you have toxin, right?

Uh, anxiety, depression, uh, as well, right?

Obesity, even trouble get, losing weight.

It's a sign that you have, uh, toxin, uh, insomnia.

An inability to sleep.

The sign that you have toxin as well.

All of us have toxin, and that's not even counting the modes, you know, that you're

exposed to and all that, all of us are.

It will, you would literally have to live in a bubble for the rest of your

life if you don't have, uh, toxin.

We just don't know how much it is.

Uh, and we, and we, and then on, on top of that, you know, adding lifestyle.

You know, your diet, your exercise and sleep and your, your stress on top of

that is just a, a boiling, you know, pot that just keep on, you know, uh,

creating this negative, inflammatory systemic effect in your body.

It just makes sense if we just keep up with the same habits or lifestyle,

whatever it is that we're so used to, if we're not feeling what's actually

happening inside of us or have the data from doing a test, however you

do the test, um, then you, yeah, you really don't know what's gonna happen.

It's just gonna spill over, you know, something's gonna.

Creep up on you in some way, who, who knows what, you know, it

can in so many different forms, but it, it makes perfect sense.

And I mean, when I had my test done, I was like, oh wow, this is enlightening.

You know, it was almost like a, uh, now I know I could do something about it

Yeah.

you know?

Whereas I know before, like a lot of times it was not possible.

You know, like TPE not not being around or just any other procedures

that, you know, protocols, but.

Yeah, no, I, I think that once we know, once we know what we need to do, I think

that that's gonna be a game changer, uh, uh, for how we live our life.

Uh, and for you, you already know that you, you need to get plasma

and change, you know, uh, uh.

scheduled.

Yeah, it's true.

Well, Dr. An so like, i I, I wanna point people to what you're doing

because I know you're always up to really fun stuff, cool stuff.

I mean, you're.
