2. Amy’s Wild Medical Procedure (Main Theme)

  • Amy reveals she’s beginning iron IV infusions due to blood work results indicating low testosterone, iron, and vitamin D.

  • Bobby (in disbelief): “They put a yam in your body?” (05:54)
  • Amy clarifies the pellet is yam-based, non-synthetic, and biologically engineered for slow release.

    • The aim: Restore “flat tires” of health (analogy—testosterone, iron, vitamin D), with the “fourth tire” being fine.
