0:00.0	Did you know that there is a super easy test you can take it home to tell you what your true age really is?
0:28.2	It's your biological age, not your calendar age.
0:31.4	I'm talking about your health age and I recently took this test.
0:35.3	It's called True Age from True Diagnostic and it discovered my biological
0:39.9	age and the results were actually pretty shocking. Biological age is a powerful indicator on how
0:45.8	fast you're aging internally, which directly predicts the risk of serious disease like cancer,
0:51.5	Alzheimer's, all these things that, you know, we just don't want to get heart
0:55.2	disease. And even if it shows five years older than your actual age, your risk of developing
1:00.9	these diseases can be like 30 to 50% higher. So you guys, it is imperative to take this test.
1:06.1	I did it. I am so happy I did because I am actually putting things to work now. It's my motivator to get
1:13.3	healthier, live a healthier life, and I'm doing it. I'm actually just booked a workout tonight.
1:19.2	So even though I don't want to go, I'm making myself because I need my age to go lower,

2:15.1	bigger and cleaner and a whole lot crazier than your backyard
