About Blood Tests: Learn what’s really going on in your body

This episode is brought to you by Thriva. Today, we are joined by Dr. Vish, who is a GP, here to tell us all about blood tests, and why they are the best way to find out what is actually going on in your body.



Joe overcomes his needle phobia, and undergoes a live blood test in the studio. He’s on a new health journey, to identify any changes he might need to make to his lifestyle. Plus, we learn some mind blowing facts about blood, why feeling faint is actually quite helpful, and how Thriva can help uncover any underlying health issues.



Thriva are on a mission to help you live better, for longer. They are offering Things People Do listeners 20% off your first blood test. Just go to thriva.co to sign up, fill out a very quick questionnaire and use the code THINGSPEOPLEDO

Joe Marler used to hate people, but then he met Tom Fordyce, and a load of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and a podcast was born that changed his mind forever. It might just change your life too.

Because everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions. And this is a show about all the weird and wonderful things people do.

Together, Joe and Tom meet astronauts, teachers, marine biologists, cheesemakers, prison guards and everyone in between. Along the way, they’ve learned things that have blown their minds, heard stories that have made them laugh until it hurts, and – well, felt a whole lot better about the world around them and the people that fill it.
