George Smith gives a first-person testimonial about his health journey: after gaining weight post-marriage he pursued proactive screening because of a strong family history of heart disease. He received a cardiac CTA around age 40 that found blockage, pursued a specialized blood panel through the TNT program, and implemented lifestyle and supplement changes. Although his later blood panel returned favorable ("all green"), he experienced an acute event (two blocked arteries; a stent was placed) and attributes his survival to being proactive with testing, exercise, and TNT.

A little history on myself. I played sports, baseball, wrestled, track, all that good stuff.
Got married to my first wife. That all stopped. She cooked, I ate. We both gained about 80 pounds from that point.
I went to a local doctor and.
My son was probably a year old, and he looked at me and goes, do you want to see your son grow old? I said, yes, I do. Then you gotta stop doing what you're doing and change your life.
And it's all about lifestyle change.
My mom died when she was 40. Dad 67, Uncle 68. Grandparents all 71, 72, 73. All heart conditions. I wanted to be aggressive early on, so I was probably 40. I had a CTA of my heart paid for to see if I had any blockage, which I did. When my wife Laura first went to tmt, she came home after a visit and after having testing, after reviewing that.
I was very interested to see what my panel would look like. If you go to the standard doctor.
You'Re gonna have your hdl, ldl, and.
It'S not really gonna show you too much in depth. So I went to Lorre and I wanted to have that blood test done. I received mine back and it was like, wow, I see a lot of red. That's not good. And from that point on, I signed up with TNT and went through the whole process. And as a whole, lifestyle change, you have to do the right things for your life. I mean, it all comes down to what food you're eating, what supplements help you, and then going through and learning what triggers blood sugar. And then Lori is obviously proactive, too, is trying to make sure that we do the right supplements and everything to help the blood flow and all that. My last results of my blood test was all green, which I was very happy with.
Having said that, though, I work out a Tuesday, finished fine, didn't feel anything. Thursday I wake up, I had two blocked arteries, 171, 80%. They put a stent in. And if I had not been proactive and worked out and did the blood test and did all the supplements and did everything the program with tnt, I may not be here.
I'm a very analytical person, so I want to see. You know, like I tell people all.
The time, the oil in your car tells you what's going on with your car.
Well, their blood tells you what's going.
On with your body.
Family history is huge, and a lot.
Of guys do put their head in the sand.
You've got to take care of yourself.
And look at what the cards that.
Are dealt, because the worst thing you can do is just ignore it and it becomes something more serious. Is my light bulb moment.
But had not done anything with TNT that probably wouldn't be here.
