So let me ask you guys a couple of serious questions. Do your joints feel older than you? And do you

0:07.3

really know what's going on inside of your body? Yeah, me either y'all. Now, y'all know whenever I go

0:14.1

home to Louisiana, family time is everything to me. When we're all together, I'm always so grateful

0:19.6

for that quality time. It always reminds me

0:22.9

to take care of myself so that I can keep making memories with the people I love for years to come.

0:29.0

And I'm ready to get even more serious about that. So I just learned about true diagnostic and

0:34.6

their true age plus true health test.

0:39.8

Y'all, this ain't nothing like a grade school test, okay? But the more research I do on it, the more I'm interested.

0:43.4

Did you know that a single painless fingerprick at home can lead you to over 180 personalized

1:19.2

immune system are aging, which means I'm 30 years old. And my biological age could be more than 30 or it can even be less than 30 years old and this

1:30.1

test will help to show me where I'm at. So this is a full snapshot of how your body's really doing

1:35.8

on the inside. And with an easy to re-report and personalized recommendations, I honestly feel like

1:41.9

this is a tool that can help me actually stay on top of my health

1:45.2

and put energy into the right habits where I'm not just guessing all the time.

1:50.3

So if you want to dig a little deeper and if you're serious about living healthier and longer,
