Life Score design change

As you may have noticed, we recently refreshed the look of the Life Score - to make it much easier to understand your current score as well as the changes that happen week over week. 

As part of the update, we also upgraded the algorithm that calculates the score. We wanted to make sure we're including all the right data in the calculation and that we're following the latest nutritional guidance by the experts. So, you might notice a difference from the last score you received.
