This episode is also brought to you
by Wealthfront! Wealthfront
is an app that helps you save and invest your money. Right
now, you can earn 5% APY—that’s the
Annual Percentage Yield—with the Wealthfront Cash Account.
That’s more than ten times more
interest than if you left your money in a savings account at the
average bank, according to FDIC.gov. 


It takes just a few minutes to sign up, and then you’ll
immediately start earning 5% interest on your
savings. And when you open an account today, you’ll
get an extra fifty-dollar
bonus with a deposit of five
hundred dollars or
more. Visit Wealthfront.com/Tim to
get started.

This episode is also brought to you
by AG1! I
get asked all the time, “If you could use only one supplement,
what would it be?” My answer is usually AG1, my all-in-one
nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour
Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so. I do my best
with nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG1 further
covers my bases with vitamins, minerals, and whole-food-sourced
micronutrients that support gut health and the immune
system. 


Right now, you’ll get a 1-year supply of Vitamin D
free with your first subscription purchase—a vital
nutrient for a strong immune system and strong
bones. Visit DrinkAG1.com/Tim to
claim this special offer today and receive your 1-year supply of
Vitamin D (and 5 free AG1 travel packs) with your first
subscription purchase! That’s up to a one-year
supply of Vitamin D as added value when you try their delicious
and comprehensive daily, foundational nutrition supplement that
supports whole-body health.
