If your score is 8-12, you are quite natural! Continuous improvement will yield dividends, but you should be very proud of your extra effort, and it’s most probably paying off.
If your score is 4-7, you are somewhat natural. Keep moving in a positive direction, and you will see significant improvements in your health, results and outlook.
If your score is 3 or less, you are the typical American. If you are happy with your life, that’s fine. But if you want more health, results and happiness, please consider making changes.
