0:00.0	This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens. I get asked all the time what I would take if I
0:05.2	could only take one supplement. The answer is invariably Athletic Greens. I view it as all
0:11.2	in one nutritional insurance. I recommended it in fact in the four hour body. This is more than
0:16.0	10 years ago and I did not get paid to do so. With approximately 75 vitamins, minerals, and
0:21.6	whole food source ingredients, you'd be very hard pressed to find a more nutrient dense and
0:25.8	comprehensive formula on the market. It has multivitamins, multimineral greens complex, probiotics,
0:31.6	and prebiotics for gut health and immunity formula. Digestive enzymes, adaptogens, and much more.
0:37.5	I usually take it once or twice a day just to make sure I've covered my bases if I missed anything

1:13.9	produced in our bodies from sun exposure. So adding a vitamin D supplement to your daily routine
1:18.4	is a great option for additional immune support. Support your immunity, gut health, and energy
1:23.6	by visiting athleticgreens.com slash TFS. You'll receive up to a year supply of vitamin D and five
1:31.2	free travel packs with your subscription. Again, that's athleticgreens.com slash TFS. As in Tim
1:39.0	Ferris Show, athleticgreens.com slash TFS. Guten Tag, ladies and gentlemen, this is Tim Ferris.
1:45.4	And this is another edition of the Tim Ferris Show. I'm going to start off with one of my favorite
1:49.7	quotes, and I might do more of this if you like it, each episode leading with one of my favorite
1:53.8	quotes. And this quote is from Lucius Anas, Sennaika, often abbreviated to Sennaika. And it is
