It tests you for everything. They do a blood test and then a test where they connect you to electrodes and scan your whole [body],” she said. “I learned a lot. I learned what’s living in my blood, which has escaped from my gut — all kinds of crazy stuff.”The biggest takeaway from the test?“I’m 49 years old in age, my chronological age. But mybiologicalage is 35,” Ripa said, jokingly adding, “I was like, ‘Is that all? Because I would say it’s much younger!'”Maury Phillips/GettyOn an episode of her talk show last month, Ripacalled her husband’s good looks “an outrage,”joking that while Consuelos just cuts back on a few indulgences to slim down, “I would need a plastic surgeon” to get that “shredded and glistening” look.“Whereas Mark just needs to not drink half-and-half for one cup of coffee,” she said. “He’s like, ‘Oh, I didn’t drink half-and-half and then I took a steam shower.
