ah, sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning packs like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sherry and download it now for free. people and trucks injured when trying to flee the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. order families on the taxi. the reason for the credit on that is we located administrative people fleeing extreme. grant
1:03 pm
ross getting 200 people hassan from the agency around the world. more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. yes. why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah. ah. what is aging? is it possible for us to affect it? how much more can we do? these are big questions, they're going to take us 2 answers that are going to be illuminating to mankind as a whole. aging has become
1:04 pm
a hot topic. we are right now at the point where we can already develop strategies with injections, simulation stimulation methods, personal programs, pills, or we're in the midst of a seismic shift that will open up possibilities for more healthy agent with a something in the air. and we can feed it and plenty of people who already show you gold nuggets in on fe vs gold. here. you know right now where it seeing a huge gold rush. once the proof of concept is established on longevity, it will go viral. what was your name and the left there so the person will live to 150. it's probably already been born daniel, it's highly likely that it was his with
1:05 pm
1:06 pm
got about earlier, we got burly just because it's important for my house to do this. so i do it literally going to be consistent in your sleep schedule. it's easy for me to be consistent with waking up at 5 the sort of some nice quiet time and yeah, i mean it's, it's, it's, so i do, it's that i'd have consistency because that's really important thing for sure. kane or them nina care. i 1st became interested in longevity research when she was 12. now the teenager is one of the scenes rising stars. nina stands for a generation that takes a new view of aging that wants to see aging eradicated ah
1:07 pm
. when she's not in school, nino holds talks around the world. she's launched a small start up with a couple of friends. the groups searches for scientific clues on how to crack the aging code. yeah. yeah, and one of our proteins is probably involved in that process in some way, so we could weigh how much that protein is involved in that process and try to give an estimate even if we're not adding a whole new protein involved with that process. yeah, i think that definitely something that we could that's useful to measure my grandfather did have it for me to my chest. that was the big problem and i wanted seasoning with that one in 6 women get dementia after the 65 and i'm one in 10 man which is a lot of people when you think about it, right. it's these diseases that you previously thought were inevitable. so we thought maybe we'd have drugs to alleviate the pain or to sub one particular type
1:08 pm
of disease from occurring, but never sort of to, you know, look at the root cause of these diseases and haggard from there. each animal species has in certain ways an expiration date in a mouse. it's less than 5 years in the bo had whale. it's 211 years in humans. it's a $120.00 to each species has a time that's kind of allocated to it. and the question is, why is that in nature? death is a normal part of life. but can we humans push this biological age limit? human life expectancy has risen steadily and recent history back in ancient rome, it was just 25 years by the middle ages. it was still only $35.00. now we live in to our seventy's on average medical advances and better living conditions are enabling us to get older and older. but can we extend our lifespan indefinitely?
1:09 pm
and would we really want to even leave vision to live? lots of people want to live forever. and when they wonder if we can reverse or slow down the aging process and unkind in exist, tells us so much about violet, which steph and dying. but it also touches on reincarnation and live live. it's a hugely popular fema me. immortality is a topic that will never die is or stablish in germany. there's a famous painting, the fountain of youth. and on the painting you see all the old men and women,
1:10 pm
particularly taking their clothes off and getting into the fountain of youth and swimming across to the other side and emerging young and healthy on the other side . then going off to the tents and dressing and then having a wonderful dinner together with plenty of wine. ah, and it's, it's man's age. all dreamed to be able to reverse aging his room. wouldn't it? this fountain of youth is become an allegory in biomedical research and that's no longer just about eating a healthy diet and leading a balance lifestyle. and we want to make more serious adjustments if you and we can take pills or get injections and so on. on. we'll end up living longer when you come into the idea, the fountain of youth that's outside me and i'm and that i can jump into that you wish shifted to a fountain that's put inside the main one injected into my anger. i wish i could, bastard. we're closer to finding the fountain of youth than ever before.
1:11 pm
but what if aging were kind of program a program we could hack into an initial clue as to how humans might be reprogrammed, leads to an unassuming setting in central america. ah, i've lived in costa rica since 1972 and just completely fell in love with costa rica and then to love. and acoya is a place where people age very well and long. i think about all the time. i think about it all the time because it's really mysterious and they themselves cannot give you any clue as to why you ask them. and they say,
1:12 pm
i have no idea. it just is what it is. but yet we are more curious and we want to know more honor gail. glen takes care of some of the regions, centenarians, the residence of costa rica, natoya peninsula. not only live longer, but stay healthy for longer to almost die. i will hang on to my leg. okay, back in the oil navy. the koto is 90. 1 people here often live to be over 90. many thing to over a 100 dana florida. ask if i can go. are you a fan? these are herbs. you used to heal diseases, allan corn associated bizarre. that's right. you want your hampton and lots of people around the world, want to know how to live a long and healthy life. what's your advice for that call?
1:13 pm
if you have a combined you live with for many years. ha, guam bed, trying eat a healthy diet out of that out and leave a peaceful stress free lie to you and why it will act as well. oh, lots of vitamin these. no, ha, ha, gas. she's laughing when a person it sorts of cheese their heart, you won't suffer nor i. it is gonna vote this area was very, very distantly removed from the mainland, so to speak. it's a peninsula, it's still connected, but our roads were bad. communication didn't exist. people survived here on what they planted on, what their parents taught them, how to survive. there was no pharmacy to go to that smell. so good
1:14 pm
luck when the this or treats fever and all kinds of things or in the fact that people in natoya live to be older than average went largely unnoticed until one scientist stumbled on to some unusual data. some years ago, before most young professional initiative, i was initially an economist, but it never really felt like a white field for me. eventually i found my knees and demographics to much more precise with clear cut rules. it's black and white whole it. they ignored them. anita caswell, not by sheer coincidence. we discovered the mortality rates in the region were much lower than the rest of the country. you don't have him which importance help initially i didn't pay much attention to in martha, i'll knock on when i presented my findings at a conference and there was
1:15 pm
a lot of skepticism. we asked about whether it was really so public in costa rica element, that last class i sassy. then i will not persona, but one person from the audience approached me afterwards and said, rose, it's because it's a blue zone. you cannot get him where mom and at that moment i realized than the koya really was a special place this young no korean nicole. yeah. fike, so called glue sounds, had been identified so far on our planet. these are locations where an unusually high percentage of the population lives very long. men in natoya have the world's highest life expectancy. an 80 year old male here is likely to outlive his contemporaries elsewhere by an average 8.2 years ago. but why
1:16 pm
this is alan vick, is it the diet rich and fruit in acoya hall, or does religious faith explain it? laugh, everly. she ought. there wasn't any real data, jones at them during our meeting of yeah, that's my normal normal hearing of hampton. the question is, is, is it genetics or is it lifestyle and young people in costa rica say, what have either good. i mean they can, you're still, you're casey, most of it campus. we carried out a study to see what happens and people lead mccoy. and what happens on people from other parts of the country, the more to nagoya artist, please, i'll be reading makalya the mosque a we found out that neither of these groups but she had the same one job in that as those who were born in spend their whole lives here are new revealed. tar, tim, quantity in blue. sounds eating seems to proceed more slowly than compete
1:17 pm
convincing. huh. the environment and the lifestyle appear to positively impact human biology can help on matthew. but how exactly, and will this help us crack the agent code? with the molecular biologists biochemist. i'm interested in understanding the origin of businesses. the majority of diseases are those associated to the asian grosses. so i'm interested in understanding why we h a molecular liver. i wanted to have all my life to one. this found the origins of cancer and 89 i thought the longest could be to keep the human
1:18 pm
body consists of around 30 so and trillion, sells some last few days. others lived for years. we constantly produce new cells to replace the old ones. it's a process that involves duplication. before cell division can take place, the chromosomes in the cell nucleus have to be duplicated the dna double helix they consist of is unwind and separated into strands. each strand then becomes a template for a new one. the ends of the chromosomes, which are especially prone to replication errors, are protected by telomeres, which are sequences of non coding dna. but with every cell division, these safety caps become shorter.
1:19 pm
charged. i feel charged was that the shoe or hood tillman. ah, imagine this, so a shoelace is our chromosome. so the spark of a shoe laces the dna, where the genetic information is. and this little plastic bart, which is very important to protect the shoe lace, would be the tiller. so the d lamerse are very important to protect our chromosomes, to protect the name as we ates. the domains become shorter and shorter. this is because every time that we have a damage, the cells have to multiply originate the damage on these shortens the dilemma, the cell division, this implication. so at the end,
1:20 pm
the dilemma began so sure we don't have any more a t t m. so now our dnas, i'm protected, and this is leading to asia as leading to the c's. ultimately, we'll be leaving this cell division and the rate of telomeres shortening may be influenced by our lifestyle. smoking, stress, environmental pollutants, and poor nutrition are all negative factors. some researchers believe living in harmony with the natural world has a positive effect. no thought to the 2nd, we couldn't carry out experiments like this in costa rica. and i'm so we sent our samples away and thought, when the results of this collaboration came back, we realized we'd found something. well, this one i lost, it seems like a band concert. i must get less persona than me call. yeah. unity. people from the koya have longer telomeres, almost a significantly longer telomeres than people in the rest of the country. just on
1:21 pm
scientists like maria glasgow, are exploring ways of artificially lengthening telomeres in order to slow the aging process. but this does come at a risk digger fodder by is this does creep, the danger is it cancer can develop it because cancer cells are a mortal and is alina, we're walking a fine line here? yes. do we tell the cells to resist their pre programmed cell death and risk that it will result in cancer reflecting? or do we leave things to run their natural porch and left the cells die when their time is ala stooped on his caps and there is no proliferation. and we just accept that our final destination was around 120 and to 125 years will not sponsor this will not for one sponsor slim shop. but of course, we all know the answer. humans want to test the boundaries and see if they can really live to 150 or 300. and how far can we go?
1:22 pm
how much should science interfere in nature is blueprint we don't have to necessarily accept current biological limitation because that's what we do as a species. we're problem solvers. we don't just sit around and get rained on, we build houses. so we may want to transcend normal biology at some point and set goals for ourself beyond just normal concepts of health. ah ah, when you wonder what the, what is aging, you end up asking how tissue repair. this is a process that the sustie, poorly understood, says progressively accumulate damage. they age,
1:23 pm
that when they re to something threshold, they undergo it siege. they become kinessa. i like to describe them as zombies, because you know, they're like in a middle stay between alive and dead, denied, but they're at the same time, they're really damaging. ha. nissan says reduce an alarm signal so that they, all this has in the body, realised the dairy savannah, and they go and they repair. the problem is that as we get all these repair says, they are also old and they don't go and they don't repair a, we accumulate the says that are constantly producing these alarm. this is a phenomenon to his call in from megan o. people who have inflammatory signatures innovative, caused by their own sadness and says that are not eliminated.
1:24 pm
we are trying to clack the code of the synopsis. i was trying to understand the wounded of amy, these. how to kill them without killing their nonsense and says in some initial experiments, manuel serrano and his team were able to show that mice lived to longer once their senescence or zombie cells were eliminated. but that does not guarantee eternal youth. it's a double edged sword senescence south play also very good. an important role for example in wound tutoring. if you ever want, if you don't have senescence, the wound will never hear. so you could have a treatment that removes all senescence south and suddenly your terrible side effects. it just means we need more research and all research into telomeres and zombie cells are only 2 approaches in the race for longevity. and one
1:25 pm
thing is certain, whoever cracks the code is set to earn millions. alright . so guys, how do i look? i look old ha. so you've seen what we did when i was the $255000000.00 res. is the largest raise in our industry so that the hong kong has the highest life expectancy on the planet today, which is no surprise because longevity is very often correlated with well and i hear people are filthy, rich welfare is increasing dramatically in the region in china mainland
1:26 pm
people who are present just 35 years ago. they are now multi 1000000 years and people demand one of the heel for biotech company. i tried to collaborate with a lot of people and they tried to contribute to as many projects as possible. life clinic is a very fun concept where the founder is decided to bridge the starbucks concept with preventative medical care, you choose a cocktail of all kinds of nutrients that will be going into your blood while you're sipping on a juice may offer ivy drips and all kinds of other interventions.
1:27 pm
i cannot vouch for some of them. yeah, i'd be in hong kong or anything geared at increasing life expectancy already promises, mega box dubious wonder drugs and id trips are readily available. the region is also attracting biotech companies from around the world. money from wealthy investors has created a much higher start ups. he longevity research is hong kong need dot com. boom. i'm brooklyn neu, a new development is that the research is being carried out with business started met with massive capital me got company. we're investing me towards we're pumping funds into it, we're throwing cash out and you're from them that will invariably result in a product in it's an infallible economic model, the boss which will always work in fi from senior market. these are huge market.
1:28 pm
what these new companies want really to have treatments for, for the season. so that's where them a big box that i'm willing to experimental myself because there is a lot of data on me. i, one of the most well study of humans on the planet. i try to optimize for high performance at this point of time i try to perform at my feet. i've tried ripple mice in the past. it's very often referred to as i and i checked drug in longevity in not in the same line as metformin butts. likely to be stronger than the foreman . it's not without side effects. so there is a chance that you're gonna see poseida on a few others. so when, aside to dryden ourself in a very controlled mode, and i did not at home 0,
1:29 pm
1:30 pm
i was interested in anti aging science since i was a teenager growing up in frankfurt, germany. i had a group of friends who were very interested in science, and at some point we realised the most important challenge of our generation is to prolong life. we had very lofty goals, i need to tell you in our we have crazy goals. we wanted to study physics, math, biology, chemistry, also we wanted to do space travel, and then the minute you finkel space travel, you realize that you will need decades in order to travel it organized centuries. and so we felt we really need to solve this problem for us to extend our life span before we can even think about space travel one day by accident. really,
1:31 pm
because i did somebody a favor, i analyzed these methylation data. i immediately recognized that epigenetics or methylation is really the data source that has a tremendous thickness for aging. he was able to find clusters of genes whose methylation state could tell you how old you were a particular time. the amazing thing about us is that it works from the day you're created as a fertilized egg cell, all the way until the day that you die. there are more than 200 distinct cell types and the human body. although they all contain the same dna, there was a mechanism that tells the cell whether it is the skin cell or a liver cell, for example, called epigenetics. this involves information that sits on the dna,
1:32 pm
resulting and genes being switched on or off. perhaps the best known type of epigenetic change is methylation. the addition or removal of methyl groups on the d n a strand. these changes continue to take place throughout our lives. the dna contains for left us a c, t, g methylation, sometimes attaches to the letter c and modifies it similar to an onslaught by keeping track very carefully. which parts of the dna gain methylation or news methylation we can measure aging methylation can be thought of like the rust that accumulates by measuring the amount of thrust we can determine h. so if we have some hours glass, the passage of time is measured by how the sand,
1:33 pm
how much sand accumulates at the bottom. the dna molecules though, has 28000000 different our glasses because we have 28000000 let us see in our dna. so by averaging the measurements of 28000000 hour glasses, you arrive at a very accurate measure of age. this is one of the most insightful discoveries in the history of mankind does read it. and what the invention of the we ought is that that was a turning point meeting. i think that was to severe a very, very important white rubric. hey, we can measure aging. now the epa genetic clock has revolutionized research into aging with a simple dna sample. any one's biological age can be determined, however, that can produce some nasty surprises.
1:34 pm
my name is mark a toy i've out, and i am steve's identical twin brother. he's my older twin brother, 5 minutes older than me. and however, only a birth measure epigenetic clock a couple of years ago. then according to one of the clocks i was actually 4 years older than him, which is not necessarily good news. the those technologies are enabling us to accelerate aging research dramatically by not waiting until you die. we can now measure where you are in life and measure how different interventions effect that prediction. we pick
1:35 pm
this up and applied a i to the same problem and developed many, many asian clocks above all the quest for eternal life requires personal biological data. the digital devices we use every day can provide mountains of it. big data is currently one of the most promising approaches to cracking the agent code. unlike conventional medicine, artificial intelligence can scour the data for hidden patterns to help prevent diseases from developing in the 1st place. this situation looks very similar to soft on the subway. so when you pull your wallet and you don't know who every human on the train looks the same, they move, they move a different patterns to observe many, many of those scenarios. it may subways globally to develop really
1:36 pm
precise algorithm for catching people. that's not the way you train a technologies to recognize those thieves and predict human behavior. and i think nowadays, and advanced countries like mainland china, there are video monitoring techniques that allow you automatically to recognize the fact on movement. so it's very similar to recognizing those proteins that misbehaved during aging and cause trouble. so what we're going to do now, we're going to solve a disease very quickly. we're going to solve the cross disease. ai is already poised to increase our life expectancy or so we're told
1:37 pm
at the touch of a button, startups can run through thousands of possible outcomes and quickly discover new medication. all based on data from users of apps like the one that alex shovel room called has developed we recently receive $255000000.00 is from a group of ultra elite investors. so it turns out that we are in the right place and the right time with the right technology. i think that very soon we will see guys like amazon. i'm waiting for those guys to react. guys like facebook. i guys that produce video games, netflix, those people who steal your time, they will come back and try to figure out how to make more time. so you can waste it on their product. silicon
1:38 pm
valley is already on board. in 2013 google founded a secret of biotech venture called calico it's longevity, researches carried out behind closed doors with nearly unlimited resources. a group, backed by amazon founder jeff bezos, has also burst onto the anti aging scene, with hundreds of millions and funding altos labs is recruiting top scientists from around the globe to join the project. they include steve horvath and manual serrano . there's even a longevity clinic in the pipeline despite the big players jockeying for position, there were still opportunities for smaller projects like start up by o team, which is working flat out to develop a self test to measure aging. via teen is
1:39 pm
a group of people who are working towards the goal was extending house fan in eradicating aging, wedded caesars are all just sort of a group of people with a sort of a fascination for age you it sees is an aging itself. we have sort of focused on this idea of biological age itself. we tell you what your biological age is into an of an accessible and cheap manner. a lot of i logically just currently are very pricey, which is fine. i mean, the biggest hurdle sent specially for bio hackers and people who are way more interested in the very deep science of aging. but we just want to give and general encapsulation of your eating process for the general population. nina's clock is designed to determine age based on proteins in saliva. although she can only work on a lab one, she turned 16. she's found ways to access the latest data. you go to research paper website and they are supplementary files that we are able to download and see their data. so that's really cool. sometimes when it comes to us working directly with
1:40 pm
labs, they send us the data personally. so they tell us, here is the work we have done because it often helps them to in their projects. you know, people like nina are taking advantage of a new paradigm, really in which you can process the data on your own datas available. my laptop that i'm on the one hand i download data, but i also upload a lot of data. i put millions of dollars worth of data into the public domain. i think school. yeah, i think is very good. actually. i know you are making progress on the image of the test recently and to have a good rendering on did you wanna, i'm serious. going to chill with them. i look like, you know, just do that right now. basically right now, i think what we decided was the best ways, like having a multi paddle test with each corresponding to one protein or using the same technology use in pregnancy tests. so that's pretty interesting. he spent on the
1:41 pm
test in the sample area. then from there you downloaded or sort of our app and from there you're able to find out, you know, the ratios of your control to sort of of your protein line. so what, what is there to the concentration of these proteins and based on the color of this test? so here you scan this, you find out that information you entered into our website and you can find a lot more about your process that we would want to do subscription base. yeah, you're going to get several tests here because, you know, slowly can get better as you know, as you improve. she, it was really cool. it would be very hard to conceive. even wanting to do that for me. and i'm from, i don't think anybody here has got to sign up for it. in contrast to nina, honor gale glen in costa rica has already ended her professional life,
1:42 pm
a successful swimwear designer. she was able to retire at age 50. ever since she's been involved in a range of social projects. it's about being unified, it's about to participate and be of service, you know, do what you can care for yourself, but do it. you can to care for others as well. and hopefully you get to a point in life where your basic needs are being met well enough that you have plenty of time to care for others. it boils down to the question, how do i do i save myself or do i save my community? and really, if your community doesn't survive, what kind of left are you going to have? a couple of years ago, a law was passed to protect the lung heavily. or the centenarians of the area that we live in, which is considered a legal blues on legal. you know,
1:43 pm
by law in costa rica, so that to new nicola is preparing for an increasing number of centenarians. a private initiative aims to raise funds to build a regions 1st, nursing home. rapid advances in longevity, research are prompting a rethink of existing social structures. what will our lives look like if we continue to grow older and older? centenarians did their contribution now at somebody else's turn to take care of them. well when a via don't nicholas where the live that i go those. so when we visit the long tables, you ask them, how do you feel about this project? we're doing i completed, i'm going to be a 103 all for yard yard go, but that's great. but when you get old,
1:44 pm
you eventually need some help there. a you said any like it and you're lucky to live with your daughter who looks after you know, there are people who have no support or no family dies, the employer, they left me okay. left me a noisy thing this year in yarmouth into religious. yes, i feel happy to have lived such a long life dog with my friends and family are here. i don't. i want to live as long as god wants me to. i v will. i think of you here, eggs facto, ma'am. not more hot. as time has evolved, being here and observing the people who live in this blue zone, i realize how connected they are. the social component is very important. they don't get cut off and leave me on
1:45 pm
a good chunk of my to day. we know with it being part of a strong community is a life extent meant physician, that's a way for anyone to grow old and under my without turning to pills and injection of alter our dna. i got, well, in my personal opinion, i would not waste time on blue zones when you to fix the problem of aging. right here, right now, we've reached the point of evolution where we need to accelerate evolution ourself will do this when you to evolve when, when you to change us humans as well to talk with . nature has no plan. nature is a random thing, right? but it works, nature is built up life on this planet or the last 4 and a half 1000000000 years. and it is fine tuned and honed and optimized things to an unbelievable degree of perfection. so you have to be
1:46 pm
a little bit careful about messing with mother nature. here. 13 with one of the interesting things about super centenarians, and centenarians is that they're immune systems last, much better than the rest of us. which is a clue as to the fact that you need to have a good immune system. our to stay alive a long time in steve horvath is one of the scientists said to follow the call of amazon boss jeff bezos. but before he embarks on that new task, he's focusing on another promising project. it's the so called trim trial design and by his colleague greg fe to reverse immune system aging. hardly any other study
1:47 pm
in the field has prompted as much interest in recent times. the flow of immune cells plays a central role in fighting illness and our bodies. but there's a limited supply of these essential cells. our bodies, thymus gland, produces t cells. the superstars of the adaptive immune system. however, once we reach puberty, the thymus begins to shrink. it is replaced by fatty tissue and eventually stops producing new t cells. once we've used them up, our bodies become more susceptible to pathogens and to h related diseases like cancer stroke and dementia. ah, when i saw that you could use growth hormone to regrow the thymus and take immune system function that was down to about 20 percent of the young immune system
1:48 pm
function all the way back up to a 100 percent of youthful function. i just thought we have to do something about this, but nobody took any action. so i did an experiment on myself and i re grew my own thymus. he published a scientific paper that described one person and that was himself. in 2016, the trial was repeated. this time a total of 9 test subjects renewed their thymus. v suspected the treatment was having a positive effect on the whole body. but how could he prove it? this person came to me uncertain, can't you help me to analyze a treatment and the minute he said the word fine was rejuvenation. i already said yes him a ha. steve horvath compared blood samples from the test subjects before and after
1:49 pm
treatment. and he was just as amazed if not more amazed as we were about the results. if they are confirmed, it will be a sensation. the original intention was, get rid of the fat off the thymus. this treatment had a side effect and unexpected side effect. it really rejuvenated the methylation the epigenetic clock. all 9 test subjects turned their epigenetic clocks back by around 18 months in a year of treatment. that means they had essentially reversed their biological age by 2 and a half years. we began to get reports from some of the people in the trial that i feel great. you know, i feel so energetic. now i feel my mind is working faster than it's worked before. before this trial was over, this volunteer says, you know, my, my wife has been telling me that my hairs growing and dark again. and i said,
1:50 pm
really i, that's interesting. let's have a look. so we looked at his hair, and boy, it was a big, very strong difference. and his hair was darkening all over the place. i need to say we are all very excited about it, but we are also very sober scientists and oh, and therefore we always felt re, desperately need a 2nd validation study. and that's really why i continue to work with greg. why i become a study participant, a 3rd study with more test subjects, he aims to corroborate the original results derived so if successful famous regeneration could be the 1st scientifically proven anti aging treatment for human beings. but the scientists need more data. steve horvath and his brother have volunteered to take part in the trial. as identical twins,
1:51 pm
they are ideal candidates. steve will get the rejuvenation treatment, and marcus will join the control group. we're now ready for your baseline testing, and this is the, the testing that you do before entering the term ex trial. and then we'll assess you after 12 months of treatment and see how you fair at that point. the 1st step is a functional test where you're literally just standing up and sitting back down as many times as you can within 30 seconds. mean entire life ever since. we know, i know i had to have a break and maybe after 12 months of the trim treatment, you'll be able to compete with that. all right, and i'll give you a countdown on your mark. yes. go
1:52 pm
