>> jimmy: welcome to "the tonight show." thank you so much for being here. i appreciate this. i actually -- i got to meet you once. do you remember this? >> yeah. it's not my usual meeting with someone, where they come up to me and they say, "hey, listen, you're going to be sitting next to a close friend of mine. i'm going to send you shots of tequila. i want you to drink them and see what he thinks about you. >> jimmy: yeah. yeah, i thought that would be funny. [ laughter ] because -- because you were sitting -- we were at this party, there were two separate tables. and you were sitting next to howard stern. and howard stern, he's -- you're his doctor, and you guys know each other, and he -- so, i thought it would be funny if i kept sending you tequila shots. and howard was just gonna watch you just down tequila. i was sending you -- i was sending you water. >> yes, it was water. >> jimmy: it was water. but howard doesn't know that. >> no, it made me look really tough just downing shot after
12:16 am
shot. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: and i kept -- i kept looking over, i'm like -- i'm like, "howard, your doctor is really going for it, man." [ laughter ] it didn't affect him at all though. it's very -- but i -- i was so psyched to meet you, because i stayed at this -- what do you -- it's a resort, i guess. what do you call it? sensei porcupine creek. >> mm-hm. >> jimmy: this is a place in palm springs. i went out there 'cause i had a a week off, weirdly enough didn't go with my kids' or my wife's schedule. she's like, "what are you going to do?" i go, "i'm going to hang out with you guys." she's goes, "we have -- the kids have school. i have work. go do something." and i go, "okay." so, i went to this resort. sensei porcupine creek. it's golf, there's tennis, there's biomarker things or stuff, just go around. it's not rehab. but it's -- it's -- [ laughter ] it has -- no, it has -- you have alcohol there. [ laughter ] trust me, i found it. [ laughter ] but it's -- you have nobu room service, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. it's insane. it is gorgeous.
12:17 am
and i loved it there. and i will tell you this, it changed my life. all the people that worked there were pros. they were so fun. i loved it. i was asking every question i could probably -- possibly ask about longevity. i was running on a treadmill with like a breathing apparatus to see my -- you know, what zone. how to get to zone two. i didn't even know what that was. i loved it. i just learned a lot about breathing and meditating. it was just so well done. i want to say thank you for that. >> well, thank you. i mean, first of all, i'm proud you did it. and it's amazing to take a a positive step in your own health, and that itself deserves applause. >> jimmy: oh, thank you. [ cheers and applause ] i did, i changed everything. this book, i loved. it is fantastic. "animal secrets." what made you inspired by animals? >> i was in africa on a safari with our family, which is the coolest trip in the world. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and i'm talking to the guide, and an elephant walks by. it's kind of cool to say "an elephant walks by." >> jimmy: yeah, exactly. >> and you know, 50 times bigger than us, 50 times more
12:18 am
cells. i'm mr. know it all saying, "there's so many cells, every time they divide, they can get cancer." he looks at me like i'm crazy and said, "elephants never get cancer." and so, we looked into it. turns out, you and i have a a gene, called p53, that corrects errors in the genome. it's called the guardian of the genome. we have one copy. every elephant on every continent has 20 copies of this gene to correct errors from inflammation. because by age 30 or 40, through evolution, we're done having kids. they knocked us off. there's more food and housing for the next generation of humans. elephant females give birth into their 70s. the dominant male protects the herd until the day he dies. so, they couldn't afford to get cancer. kind of wild. >> jimmy: that's insane. so, that -- you took that and you go, "wait, we can learn a a lot --" [ applause ] >> i thought -- listen, this is one animal. we've been on this earth, as humans, a million years, so has every other creature. what can we learn from experts in these other animals. i started to talk to them. learning from the ant.
12:19 am
that queen ant lives to 41-years-old. that worker ants, six months. same genetics, what's the difference in the lifestyle? >> jimmy: yeah. >> that giraffe has a blood pressure of 300 over 200, yet no heart disease. why? going through, you know, creature-by-creature, really taught me a lot about human health. >> jimmy: exactly. don't you feel -- [ cheers and applause ] this is what i'm talking about. these are the things that i'm like, "oh, my god." one of the great things that i'm very happy you talk about, is having a pet. and how that helps you and helps you live longer. why is that? >> it is amazing. i mean, there's real data that having a pet -- you can even borrow your friend's pet if you don't have one for yourself. >> jimmy: okay. [ light laughter ] >> but you keep a more regular lifestyle. you don't stay out late at night. and it's companionship. in today's world, where we're all on our computer, we have social media, you' ve got a a friend who is always there. when you look in the eye, oxytocin goes up in the body. that love hormone goes up. when that love hormone goes up, blood pressure goes down, and your body works better.
12:20 am
so, having somebody to bond with, this pet, you know, it's changed my life, and i know it's changed yours. >> jimmy: yeah. what is -- what's the name of your dog? >> georgie. >> jimmy: georgie is your dog? my dog is gary. [ laughter ] you actually dedicated the book to -- to -- to georgie. [ audience aws ] do you mind maybe reading the dedication to georgie? >> oh, i'd be privileged. >> jimmy: yeah, if georgie's watching tonight. [ laughter ] >> all right. "to my dear georgie, you are a a better person than i, even though you are a dog. without your companionship, kisses, and desire to play, this book would have been completed many months sooner. [ laughter ] but time with you was, and always is, worth it. thank you for the oxytocin boosts."
