00:00No rest for the weary.
00:02Sedentary life leads to early death.
00:04If I could have a bowel movement standing up, I would.
00:06Well, that I can't help you with.
00:07Uh, your assistant fainted.
00:09I'm assuming it was his blood in the bags?
00:11Thomas read all the fine print.
00:12He knows what he signed up for.
00:13The literature on the anti-aging effects of transfusing young blood is dubious at best.
00:18What literature are you reading, Dr. Wolfe?
00:21This could be a mutually beneficial relationship.
00:23I have as much to learn from you as you have to learn from me.
00:27Our worlds have a lot of overlap.
00:28Well, speaking of overlap, we are running tests on Thomas right now.
00:32If he has a bloodborne pathology or a clotting disorder, then that means you will, too.
00:37Dr. Wolfe, do you know how hard it is to find a reliable assistant who's O-negative
00:41and has never been infected by cytomegalovirus?
00:44Thomas's blood is...
00:46I don't eat grapes.
00:50You shouldn't.
00:51They're high in sugar and have no nutritional value.
00:53Okay, fair enough.
00:54But that is not my reason.
00:56When I was in the second grade, I choked on one.
00:59And before my teacher did the Heimlich, I thought for sure I was going to die.
01:05That kind of fear always stays with you.
01:09So now I don't eat grapes.
01:12Cyrus, I'm curious.
01:15What is your reason for all of this?
01:19Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
01:25That's right.
01:26I'm among the 1% of cases that impact men.
01:29How's that for bad luck?
01:31For two years, my whole entire life became about beating cancer.
01:36Specialists, chemo, surgeries, radiation, Reddit, support groups.
01:41But do you know how I felt when they told me I was in remission?
01:46Relieved?
01:47Lost.
01:49Like I didn't have a purpose anymore.
01:51But then I had an epiphany.
01:53I could take all the energy I used to fight cancer and put it towards optimization.
02:00Doctor, I can live forever.
02:02And yet here you are.
02:04Back in the hospital because you almost died.
02:07Keyword is almost.
02:10My job, as your doctor, is to prevent your death.
02:14Our goals are aligned on that front.
02:19Biohacking may be the reason you went pulseless in an ice bath, Cyrus.
02:23It could very well cause another episode.
02:25No.
02:27Biohacking saved me.
02:30But you keep avoiding grapes, Dr. Wolf.
02:32I'm sure you all live us all.
02:37I know that look.
02:48That's a look of a doctor who has bad news.
02:51Do I even want to know what caused that seizure?
02:53We found a mass on your CT.
02:55It's cancer.
02:56I know it.
02:56Let me see.
02:58All I know with certainty is that you have a brain mass that caused you to seize.
03:01What the mass is exactly remains an open question.
03:05Only directly removing and sampling the mass in surgery can tell us if it's an infection,
03:09an inflammatory process, or, yes, a malignancy, but there are...
03:12In my mind, it's cancer until proven otherwise.
03:16And after everything I've done, this comes back to get me.
03:19Let's not anchor on something we don't know to be true.
03:22What I can promise is that you will have the best neurosurgeon at your side,
03:26and we will find the answers we need.
