“This is Great! I’m Saving over $800 Per Year, AND I’m Getting Free Blood Testing…”

Hi, I’m Chris Kelly.

After working with thousands of clients, I know that most people really want to optimize their long-term health…

And yet, almost everybody finds it difficult to stay focused for months or years.

Here’s the worst part…

Almost ALL of our clients get amazing results in the first 6-12 months – but after that time, some clients start regressing and losing the gains they’ve made.

However, a few clients are able to keep getting better results, year after year.

If you want to continually improve your athletic performance, your brain health, your body composition, and your long-term energy and bloodwork, then here’s what you must do…

Let me tell you about one of our recent clients…

It’d been three years since the foot injury, and 34-year-old software engineer Pete was starting to think his days of running were over. Pete had once dreamed of turning pro, at this point he’d settle for a decent night of sleep and anything other than sitting at a desk.

Fourteen years earlier, Pete had been diagnosed with the inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis, and after a seven-year period of denial, he came to terms with the fact his painful gas and bloating would not be ignored.

Eschewing the mainstream advice, Pete eventually figured out that a low-carb paleo-type diet was best for his gut. Always active, he loved to run, bike, swim, hike, backpack and snowboard. Moving his body was his way of managing the stress of his job.

Then three years ago, disaster struck. Another inflammatory condition, this time impacting his foot and his ability to do almost everything he loved.

Pete experimented with a ton of supplements – some seemed to help – but it always felt like he was shooting from the hip. Feeling the strain of his situation, Pete often binged on carbs for temporary relief only to pay the price later with painful bloating.

Exhausted and overwhelmed, Pete came to NBT looking for a plan. We helped him dial in his diet a little further, but more importantly, we looked inside using basic blood work. The results suggested we should take a deeper look at his gut with urine and stool testing.

More supplements, but this time targeted very specifically at the problems we found on the results of his tests. Meanwhile, Pete continued to dial in his sleep and work with our strength and conditioning coach.

By meeting with us on Zoom regularly, Pete got the rapid feedback he needed to continually tweak his routine.

Slowly at first, and then suddenly all at once, Pete returned to training: “I’ve been doing a ton of running recently (woohoo! foot is feeling freaking amazing, sometimes I almost forget that it’s been injured the last three years ❤️”

And, “I went on a 56 mile bike ride and freaking slayed it 😊 my progress is definitely accelerating. I can’t begin to express just how happy and excited I am for having started this program and begun working with you.”

It would have been so tempting to call it a day right there but Pete is one of the best and wasn’t about to settle. Nothing succeeds like success. And so he investigated mould exposure – one of the more unusual findings from the urine test.

A building inspection revealed water damage in the basement and the source of the mould exposure leaving Pete feeling foggier than he knew at the time. The prospect of an expensive mould remediation is always stressful, but he avoided any unnecessary strain by using the new stress coping strategies he learned whilst working with us.

Whilst a contractor took care of the mould remediation in the basement, Pete took more targeted gut supplements – black seed oil, lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, an extract of coconut called monolaurin.

Then the fog lifted! Pete felt lighter and less reactive to food. He was even able to indulge in the occasional pizza and beer without suffering any consequences.

With his newfound energy, Pete started feeling motivated to try something new – something we often see in our clients. I know things are going well when I follow up and clients tell me about the new hobby they’ve taken up, or in Pete’s case, the new business he’s starting with friends.

Now imagine getting amazing results while ALSO spending less time and money… a true ‘no-brainer’…

Day after day, I see our clients get great results, and then a year or two later they call me and they say they’ve regressed.

For example, Joshua Fields Millburn. JFM described his health journey in episode 138 of The Minimalists podcast.

JFM came to us suffering from a laundry list of problems including fatigue, hormonal imbalance, insomnia, digestive issues, back pain, multiple chemical sensitivities, brain fog, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and heavy-metal poisoning.

We solved all these problems, and for a couple of months in 2018, JFM had never felt better. Inflammation gone, increased mental clarity, limitless energy, boundless joy. With our mission accomplished, we parted company.

Unfortunately, the limitless energy didn’t last. After a trip to Brazil, JFM called me suffering from both constipation and diarrhoea, whole body inflammation and depression. If only we’d been in ongoing regular contact because I’m sure the relapse was preventable.

You know what, I’ve got to find a way to fix this. I want to find a way for people to continually refine and maintain their hard won victories, and not have to worry about backsliding.

And I want to make it a no-brainer for them.

That’s why I’ve created the Healthspan Foundations Program to help people like you get results that last and keep going forever in a way that saves you money.

Here’s what some of our customers have to say:

• “A very thorough scorecard and access to a really knowledgeable team to make sense of it.” – Rachael
• “I found I have iron overload. I never would have guessed that.” – Natalie
• “Through my own report, listening to the others in the group and then delving more into the NBT podcasts I had some major revelations as to the cause of my fatigue.” - Naomi

Introducing Healthspan Foundations Program…

Eight great reasons to join:

1. First and foremost, let’s make sure you don’t screw anything up or make things worse or lose any gains you already made.
2. You’re going to spend money on supplements, you might as well save a ton of money on them.
3. Personalised feedback on your results and anything that you’re dealing with on an ongoing basis.
4. You’re continually optimising your body composition, energy.
5. You get ahead of any problems that might arise. If anything does come up in your bloodwork, you’re going to see it early. You get ahead of that as soon as you can and you stay on it.
6. Free testing twice a year.
7. You get access to a slew of pre recorded videos with excellent time stamped notes with information that you may not know to ask about.

Here’s what you’ll get:

Supplement discounts

By optimising your environment using our four-quadrant model, you’ll minimise your need for dietary supplements. However, sometimes a precisely targeted supplement identified by a blood test and our algorithms is exactly what you need. Too often we see clients come to us carrying two shopping bags of supplements – expensive and totally unnecessary when you take a targeted approach. Here’s how much I personally save, and I don’t take that many supplements:

Analyze in real-time how your blood glucose levels respond to food, exercise, stress, and sleep

Analyze in real-time how your blood glucose levels respond to food, exercise, stress, and sleep with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) service NutriSense. We know that glycemic stability is crucial to maintaining healthy arteries and avoiding cardiovascular disease. The problem is it’s hard to know how your diet and lifestyle choices are impacting your blood glucose unless you monitor them in real time. It’s like learning to ride a bike – once you get good at managing your levels using the meter you can ditch it – just like the training wheels.

Included: $50 off your first month subscription with Nutrisense.

But that’s not all…

Two FREE Blood Tests per Year

Uncovering the hidden problems holding you back from consistently perfect health for the long haul.

Let me know if you’d like to claim the supplement and CGM discounts I described above and I’ll also include two free blood tests and a bloodsmart.ai report free of charge…

Our bloodsmart.ai software uses state-of-the-art AI to predict - from a pretty simple blood test - what is likely happening inside your body (and what might be going wrong).

The sooner you find out, the more likely you are to avoid what happened to my grandfather…

He Died of a Heart Attack Age 54

My grandfather Anthony Ernest Piper was 54 when he died, just nine years older than I am now. He had his second heart attack at work early in 1972, and died in hospital whilst my mum was having her first baby. He never got to meet any of his six grandchildren.

My mum described him as a gentle giant of a man, a veteran injured by shrapnel whilst driving a truck in the second world war. His relationship with his family was loving and kind, and my mum said she never once saw him lose his temper.

He had slightly high blood pressure and was a bit overweight but definitely not fat.

Anthony worked as an engineer at an electrical appliance manufacturer, enjoyed badminton, sailing and bowls. His diet was not unlike mine – meat, vegetables and some fruit. Mum remembers him making fun of her sister for preferring margarine over butter, and the whole family ate bacon and eggs for breakfast. These were the days before Kellogg’s gained a monopoly over what society viewed as a healthy way to start the day.

The simplest explanation for Anthony’s first heart attack was smoking, a habit he picked up in the war. With hindsight smoking seems like a dumb decision but to be fair the UK only banned tobacco adverts from the TV in 1965. The message, “WARNING by H.M. Government, SMOKING CAN DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH” appeared on the side of a packet of cigarettes in 1971, the same year he had his first heart attack.

After his first heart attack, Anthony attempted to turn his health around, and he tried and failed to give up smoking. My mum said the doctors told him to change his diet, although she doesn’t know how, and apparently he started cooking. None of this was enough to prevent the fatal heart attack that came seven months later.

My daughter Ayla is just three months old, and I’m very aware that I’m going to have to do a lot better than Anthony if I want to see her kids. Obviously I’m not smoking, but I wonder – what other environmental exposure do I have that could lead to my early demise?

The UK government placed the warning on the side of a pack of cigarettes in 1971, and now fifty years later, I notice almost everything where I live in California now has a Prop 65 warning, meaning “exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.”

I do my best to avoid these chemicals that damage our health but how do I know all my hard work is paying off? I know because I look inside using basic blood chemistry and with the coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan. My CAC score is zero – effectively a 10-year warranty. A CAC is an x-ray, not something you can do more than every few years, so blood work gives me an early warning when something is off and the time to course correct.

We all make big mistakes, or small ones with big consequences; what separates the living from the dead is an ability to see the error and adapt, a determination to get back on the path. Even the most unforgiving environments allow a few sins if you adjust your behavior and take correct action in a timely fashion.

Here’s what some of our customers have to say:

• “Great info without initially doing extensive testing.” – Gail
• “I like the reports and ability to put it all together…and especially liked the personal live review on video call.” – Paz
• “It’s a great chance to catch a lot of potential issues before they get bad.” – Mike

In Healthspan Foundations Program you’ll discover:

• How to assess and optimise your iron status without taking supplements. We often find premenopausal women deficient in this essential nutrient. Conversely, men, including myself, are frequently overloaded. Iron overload is usually simple to correct, but can have multiple negative effects on metabolic health if left untreated. In fact, a case of severe iron overload (i.e. haemochromatosis or “bronze diabetes”) resulted in the term “insulin resistance” first being coined!
• About your exposure to toxic metals like lead and mercury and how to eliminate and detox them before they destroy your health. Most labs report blood lead levels less than 5 μg/dL as normal, but one study found the negative impacts of lead on both nervous and renal systems were obvious at a concentration of 2 μg/dL, with the absence of any detectable threshold. Elevated blood levels of lead are thought to increase cardiovascular disease risk by 730% – way more than anything to do with cholesterol.
• How to predict and rid your environment of other exposures including known hormone disrupting chemicals like phthalates and plasticisers like bisphenol A. These harmful chemicals are likely lurking in your kitchen and personal care products.
• How to fix your gut and banish gas, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation even if you’ve already tried all the elimination diets. Our software predicts overgrowths of potentially pathogenic bacteria like H. pylori, and parasitic infections like cryptosporidium. These are straightforward to eliminate with nutritional supplements once you know what’s lurking down there.
• How to assess your metabolic health using the directly measured markers glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides, HDL-C, uric acid, and bilirubin. Our software takes basic blood chemistry and predicts elevated insulin, a failed oral glucose tolerance test and weak grip strength.
• How to use the blood reticulocytes and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) markers to optimise your haemoglobin levels. Haemoglobin is a protein inside of red blood cells that transports oxygen – a critical and often overlooked factor for sports performance and daily energy levels. Often a simple and inexpensive B vitamin supplement is all it takes to boost haemoglobin, if you know what you’re looking for.
• Why most of our clients aren’t eating enough food, and how we can tell by looking at their blood test results. In addition to that, it’s extremely common for us to find easily fixable micronutrient deficiencies, especially zinc and copper.

For $97 per month, you’ll receive:

• Supplement discounts - the same ones that save me and many of our clients over $100 per month.
• $50 off your first month of continuous glucose monitoring service Nutrisense.
• Two free blood tests per year together with bloodsmart.ai reports.
• Access to pre recorded videos to show you how to interpret your report.
• Weekly group sessions with us on Zoom for personalised interpretation and recommendations.
• Weekly recordings with high-quality notes including all the citations.
• Membership to our expert-moderated Elite Performance Club forum community.

The Time to Act is Now

You see, everyone is waiting for some big health problem down the road, and the point I try to make is that those problems are entirely predictable. If you know what you’re looking for, you can see this coming a mile away.

Using science, we can predict your biological age – the total damage your body has accumulated over the years – together with your risk of dying in the next five years.

The point of the matter is – people think I can tell them what to do after a health disaster strikes. I can’t do that. If we get to that point, it would be too late to act.

So, the time to act is now.

That’s why I’m making it my personal mission to help as many people as I can by inviting them to join our new Healthspan Foundations Program.

Here’s another thing to keep in mind…

When the disaster strikes, it’s going to happen quickly. You won’t see it coming. There won’t be time to get in shape.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) – death due to a cardiovascular cause that occurs within one hour of the onset of symptoms – is the largest cause of natural death in the US, causing about 325,000 adult deaths each year. SCD is responsible for half of all heart disease deaths. Coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis) is the most common cause of SCD, accounting for up to 80% of all cases.

My point is, DO NOT wait to get started optimising your health.

Not everyone suffers the same fate. For example, the Hadza hunter-gatherer people from Tanzania do not get any of the diseases of modernity – cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, hypertension. The men remain at 10% and women 20% body fat for their whole lives – way leaner than the average person you see walking down the street. I’m not saying you need to reenact their diet and lifestyle exactly, but we can take some of what they’re doing right and apply it to our own lives to significantly increase our lifespan and healthspan.

My point is that a solution to modern health problems exists, and the time to act to avert the impending crisis is now.

Sincerely,

Christopher Kelly, CEO/founder Nourish Balance Thrive July 2021

bloodsmart.ai FAQ

Why should I use bloodsmart.ai? Who is it for?

Mostly, bloodsmart.ai is for anyone who thinks they might have an unidentified health issue that’s affecting their performance (sleep, athletic, sexual, mental, etc.).

What the software does is it takes your results from a blood test, feeds that information into an algorithm, and then gives you predictions (with % likelihood) of what’s likely going wrong. From there, you can decide if you want to investigate those potential problems (we usually advise specific testing to confirm), treat them as if they’re actual problems, or hold off on doing anything.

In other words, bloodsmart.ai allows you to quickly assess the likelihood of hidden issues in your body and then make a more informed decision about possible next steps.

What if I have my own blood chemistry?

Unfortunately, 99% of lab reports are missing some of the bloodsmart.ai required markers, and if you don’t have enough data, then the software won’t work properly. That’s why we’re including a blood test in this package.

If you just don’t have access to a lab near you or if you live in the states of NY, NJ, or RI, you may be able to use an existing lab report. Please contact us for assistance with this.

Can I get a lab test outside the US?

We are able to order blood tests in London, Ontario, and Australia. In other parts of the world we cannot arrange lab testing for you, but we may be able to use your existing lab work to generate a bloodsmart.ai report. Please contact us for assistance with this.

Do you have a money-back guarantee?

Not really. We have to pay for the costs of the blood tests up front, and really - you should only get this if you actually want to get more information about what’s going on in your body.

That said, if you have some sort of unusual circumstance, just email us, and we’ll help figure it out.
