:07:00
The other guys
are stressing me out.
:07:02
You're much more relaxed.
:07:03
I tend to do that
to my patients.
:07:05
Swallow, please.
:07:07
Your reflexes are perfect.
:07:09
Good. Back out.
Normal.
:07:11
Say "ah."
:07:13
Everything
looks pretty normal here.
:07:15
Good.
:07:16
We'll skip
checking for hernias.
:07:17
We're gonna
do a rectal exam.
:07:22
I like to be more
thorough than that.
:07:24
And I like doctors
to be thorough.
:07:26
You're gonna go downstairs
and get your bloods drawn.
:07:29
So, the reason
we have you fasting
:07:31
is the true cholesterol
and glucose number is fasting.
:07:34
So, if you had, like,
a bacon, egg, and cheese
:07:37
your cholesterol
would be way high,
:07:38
or if you had orange juice,
your glucose would be high.
:07:41
Three down.
:07:42
Your blood tests
are excellent.
:07:44
Your starting off with
a total cholesterol of 168
:07:47
which is less than 200,
which is really superb
:07:50
your blood level's fine.
:07:51
Your iron level
is good as well.
:07:53
you have no evidence
of diabetes.
:07:55
Your fasting blood sugar
is very low.
:07:57
the other thing
that we looked at
:07:59
were all your electrolytes
in terms of salts in your blood,
:08:01
your kidney function,
your liver function.
:08:03
They were all perfect.
:08:04
Your triglycerides, which is
your building blocks of fat --
:08:08
basically, what you acquire
from eating fat --
:08:11
is 43, which is low,
which is good.
:08:14
Your general health,
you know...is outstanding.
:08:18
Your urinalysis is great.
:08:20
So, you're
starting off terrific.
:08:23
I think
the worst-case scenario
:08:24
is that you increase
your triglycerides
:08:27
and your cholesterol level,
:08:28
and if you have any he
art disease in the family --
:08:31
underlying heart disease --
:08:33
you're putting
your heart at risk.
:08:35
I expect to see an increase
in your triglycerides,
:08:38
because
that can be affected.
:08:40
You're at 87 now,
and I think that will change.
:08:44
I think that's the only thing
that will change.
:08:46
Out of everything?
:08:47
Out of everything.
:08:48
There might be
some minor variations,
:08:51
but the body
is extremely adaptable,
:08:53
and the kidneys will handle
any extra salt you're taking in,
:08:56
and your liver will be able
to metabolize additional fats.
:08:59
As far as you gaining weight,
you probably will.
