How To Biohack Your Sex Life - Ben Greenfield

I was kind of concerned because for, like, three days my dick was purple and black and blue, and looked like it'd been run over by a semi-truck. My wife was obviously a little bit concerned as well with me experimenting with these fringe protocols on my genitals and, and them looking pretty bad after the fact.

Ben Greenfield, welcome to the show.

Hey, man. I forgot my, uh, I forgot my fake pop, my fake soda. You have one, but-

So...

... unfortunately, I now have soda envy, fake soda envy.

So, you told me when I was on your show, I was drinking a Diet Dr Pepper, and you castigated me-

Yeah.

... uh, for-

Yeah.

... for drinking it, which has happened a number of times by both my audience and you. And you told me-

Good.

... you red pilled me on Zevia, which I liked because I liked the taste and that it was zero calorie.

Mm-hmm.

But then you started telling me about stuff they've done with the type of tin or, uh, uh, aluminium that they use in the cans and a bunch of other stuff. What- what's so good about Zevia?

Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what aluminium is. Uh, in this country, we say aluminum. Uh, but I, I actually interviewed their founder. He has a weird name. I think it's like Patty or something like that. Um, maybe that's not a weird name in the UK, but it's a w- it's a weird name here. Patty. And he filled me in on, like, the natural form of stevia. Like, you know, not all stevia is created equal. Some has like maltodextrin and sugars added to it and some of it is synthetic and... You know, because I, like, have stevia growing right outside my window here. It's just like a natural stevia leaf that I can use to sweeten stuff. But apparently, they use like a supernatural stevia in it and they've tested the actual like liquid contents of the can to show that the metal isn't leaching out into the can. So, I was... 'Cause when I interviewed them, I put him on the spot about a lot of this stuff because I'm like, "Okay, so it says natural and calorie-free, but let's get into the details and we just drink it like some toxic form of something that's supposedly bandied about as healthy." And like, it kind of passed all, all the, uh, all the, all the checks on the- on the checklist.

So this, the Ben Greenfield smell test says that if you're going to do a calorie-free soft drink, Zevia is one of the best?

Yeah. It's, it's pretty good because look, they do like a ginger beer that's good for a Moscow mule, that Coke that you're drinking right now is great for whiskey and coke, and the ginger root beer, if you pour that on coconut ice cream, you've got yourself a, like a, you know, healthy hippie root beer float. So yeah.
