In this episode, we break down how we survived an intense 14 days in Vegas and what we used to stay functional, including glutathione, NAD+, B vitamins, and several brain focused compounds. We also talk about how an ankle injury forced us into a recovery plan mid run.

We share a chaotic Vegas blood draw story where there were not enough vials, then walk through our lab results once we got back to California, covering kidney markers, liver enzymes, lipids and triglycerides, thyroid and stress hormones, IGF 1, and a surprising testosterone and estrogen conversation. We wrap it up with a personal story about a family name change around World War One and how that lineage ultimately came to an end.
