| 0:05.9 | that I introduced recently as a sponsor on this show. |
| 0:09.5 | Well, since then, I have actually been using my products, and I have had incredible success. |
| 0:14.5 | There was initial blood work that was extremely detailed, and based on that, they offered supplementation. |
| 0:20.6 | So I began taking DHEA, BPC 157 for inflammation |
| 0:25.3 | based on the fact that I've been a stuntman, a martial artist and a firefighter in my whole life, |
