If you get a calcium score, you know, they range from like zero to over a thousand. If your plaque, your cholesterol plaques and so forth are calcified, it's like, imagine a pipe here that's pumping the blood through. If it's calcified on the side of the arteries and not blocking the pipe, it's stable, it's fine. But what we've discovered is that there's a second kind of plaque.
It's called soft plaque. And it doesn't show up in a calcium score. And so you can have a calcium score of zero and have a heart attack that day because this soft plaque is in the wall of the artery. And what we see is it can evulse. It can break out and a glob of fat will block the coronary artery and starve your muscle.
And so what is brand new over the last like three years is a new type of technology, which is an AI overlay that can find the soft plaque in your heart, in your coronary arteries. And if it identifies soft plaque, your job is to either reduce it or calcify it. And it's the only thing that matters.
So there's a company called Clearly that we use that you do your coronary CT, it takes 10 minutes, and that data is uploaded. This AI model finds a soft plaque, gives you a report, and that's all you should care about. If it's blocking your coronary, then you might need... some type of emergent treatment.
But if it's not, but you have a high soft plaque burden, your job is to reduce it or calcify it so it can't like sneak up in the middle of the night. I had a fraternity brother of mine who died from a heart attack in the middle of the night was due to come down to Fountain Life in a month. And it just slayed me, right? What are the tests that people get when they go to Fountain Life?
So let's break it up into three parts. There's imaging. So when you come through Fountain Life, It's a full body MRI. Like a prenuvo type of scan or something. Prenuvo type of stuff and more so it's a full body, a brain, a brain vasculature. So in the full body, we're looking for any kind of tumors, cancers, any kind of anomaly, any kind of nodules in the lung, looking for aneurysms.
I'll mention this because it's public knowledge. A friend, Sam Nazarian, I don't know if you know Sam, he owns, started SLS Hotels and one of the major hoteliers. And we have a partnership with Fountain and Sam. He's building out 25 resorts, six-star resorts and residential. He's gonna be building Fountain Life into all of these around the world, which is amazing.
So we're going into business, I say, Sam, come on down and go through family life. I was taking them to go see Richard Branson in Necker. And so we went through Orlando on the way down. He goes through it. Now, this guy is extremely successful and wealthy and has many doctors. He goes through, we find two brain aneurysms. Wow. He's in surgery a week later. Holy cow. And he's cured now.
But these were, this would have been super bad news. And it's like, that's insane that you have the best medical care and you didn't know this was going on inside your body. So the imaging finds cancers, tumors, and aneurysms. We do a clearly coronary CT to look for soft plaque. We do a low-dose lung CT.
We do a DEXA scan, which you're familiar with, which is looking at your visceral fat, your muscle tissue, your body fat, your bone density. We do retinal scan, we do skin scans, looking for any kind of moles or any kind of early cancer. We have a brand new machine for women, which is a new type of breast scan, which is ultrasound. It does not, you know, compress the breast.
It works for people with breast implants or dense breasts. It's amazing ultrasound. It's a joy for women to use, and it's something that makes it a lot easier for them. Wow. So those are the imaging paradigms. You have blood work in the skin. We have been, all of the blood work, it's 150 blood biomarkers that are tested. Your full microbiome, looking at your gut. We do toxin testing.
We do food allergy testing. There's a whole bunch more. Your full genome, not just SNPs, just not like 23andMe, which is single nucleotide polymerase. It's all 3.2 billion letters, and it's looking at it and understanding this. All the scanning, it takes about four and a half hours. All the scanning is to answer two primary questions. What's going on inside your body you know about right now?
and what's likely to happen to you so we can prevent it, we can optimize it, right? That's the goal. In the what's going on right now, what's amazing are the numbers. We've had like five, 6,000 people come through, 2% have a cancer they don't know about, right? It's like, hate to tell you this and happy to tell you this, we found it, let's do something about it. 2.5% have an aneurysm.
14.4% have either a neurocognitive, cardiovascular, or metabolic disease they need to take care of right now. I was giving you the stats, 70% of a heart attack without any earlier. You don't feel a cancer until stage three or stage four. and your probabilities of a full remission surviving it is much lower.
It's like when you go into the hospital not feeling well and having a pain and the doctor says, I'm sorry to tell you this, guess what? It didn't happen that morning. It's been going on for probably years and you wanna find it. When's the best time to find cancer? It's like at the very beginning. Yes. What's even more concerning is that 70% of the cancers that kill us are never tested for.
So it's not the breast cancer, the prostate cancer, the colon cancer, right? We test for those. It's the glioblastoma or it's pancreatic cancer. It's the things that are not routinely tested for, right? And so one other test we do is a Grail gallery test, which is from a blood sample. We're able to look at 40 or 50 different cancers. So when cancer is growing, those cells are,
are growing rapidly in some rupture and they release DNA into your bloodstream. So from what's called a liquid biopsy, we can determine if there's something that we should be looking for. Wow. But what is amazing about the Fountain Life experience is it's multimodal, meaning it's not any one thing, right?
It's all the imaging, it's the genetics, it's the blood biomarkers, it's a cognitive testing, all of these things that come together. So, I mean, full disclosure, it's not cheap, right? It's $19,500, but it's not just the testing. You get a medical team with you for the year, right? So there's a functional medicine doctor, a longevity doctor, a nurse, a dietician, a health coach that work with you
through the year and then repeat test quarterly. So if you wanna go deep into this, we are releasing in the start of the new year, a version for 6,500 bucks. which is going through employers. So if a company buys 10 or more for their employees, the price comes down significantly.
Yeah. So people can go to what, foundlife.com? Yeah, foundlife.com for that. There's one other part, which is the part I'm most excited about. Tell me. Okay. So one part is knowing what's going on in your body and not dying from something stupid. Like, holy, I wish I had found that earlier. The other part is this incredible world of longevity therapeutics.
