| 0:24.1 | Here we use real science, ancient wisdom, and a daily dose of vitamin G, gratitude. |
| 0:30.5 | So you live the life you were always meant to. |
| 0:33.4 | Let's lock in. |
| 0:38.8 | You can eat clean, cut carbs, count every single calorie, and still store fat while losing muscle without knowing it's happening. |
