Everyone thinks testosterone is bad for your heart, but with 10,000 receptors for it in the heart alone, I'd argue low testosterone is the real cardiovascular risk. In this solo Q&A, I answer the 11 questions you ask me most, from TRT and vitamin D to folate and my morning breathwork. It all comes back to one thing: you're not broken, you're deficient, and that's fixable.

You might think you can't quit sugar because you lack discipline, but the truth is your brain runs sugar on the same reward circuit as cocaine, and no amount of willpower beats a system that's been physically rewired against you. I'll show you exactly what's happening in your brain and gut, and give you three things you can do starting tonight to break the cycle for good.

You'd think a 100% terminal diagnosis leaves you only one path, but Jordan Rubin proved otherwise, twice. I sat down with him to unpack how he clawed back from 104 pounds and 69 failed doctors with Crohn's at 19, then beat a 90-day cancer death sentence at 33, and the raw dairy, ancestral-eating, and faith-first framework that came out of both. If you take one thing from this conversation, let it be his "vitamin H", hope,  the most deficient nutrient we have, and the first ingredient in any real healing.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARY’S VIP!: ⁠https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg⁠ Get Dr. Jordan Rubin’s book, “The Biblio Diet”:  https://bit.ly/4xQdsKl  Listen to "The Jordan Rubin Show" on all your favorite platforms!

You've been told your whole life that your condition is genetic, that it runs in your family, and you're stuck managing it forever, but I'm telling you that with rare exceptions, we don't inherit disease at all. What we inherit is an inability to refine a raw material, which creates a deficiency, and that deficiency is what shows up as the symptom you've been calling a disease. Find what your body can't make on its own, put it back, and watch what happens.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARYS VIP!: ⁠https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg⁠ Thank you to our partners A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD AIRES: "ULTIMATE20 " FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/4a3Duze BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKpCYMBIOTIKA: "BRECKACYM30" FOR 30% OFF: https://bit.ly/4tjyluP GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): https://bit.ly/48QJJrk GENETIC TEST (USA ONLY): ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC H2TABS: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S PEPTUAL: “TUH10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4mKxgcn SNOOZE: LET’S GET TO SLEEP!: https://bit.ly/4pt1T6V WHOOP: JOIN & GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: ⁠https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8⁠ Podcasts: ⁠https://bit.ly/3RQftU0⁠ Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: ⁠https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs⁠ TikTok: ⁠https://bit.ly/4coJ8fo⁠X: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://bit.ly/464VA1H⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2⁠ Website: ⁠https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU⁠ Merch: ⁠https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1⁠ Newsletter: ⁠https://bit.ly/47ejrws⁠ Ask Gary: ⁠https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG⁠ Timestamps 00:00 - Intro of Show 01:04 - Gary takes the stage 02:39 - Going back to the basics of human physiology 04:22 - The two bold promises and mortality data 05:04 - Why life insurers predict death to the month 06:03 - The myth that disease is genetically inherited 08:11 - Reading deficiencies: tired, sore, brain fog, anxiety 09:53 - Circadian rhythm and bookending your sleep 12:11 - Fasting as a jet lag superpower 13:16 - Live breath work session 16:58 - The second bold promise 17:53 - The methylation chart explained 19:18 - MTHFR and the anxiety-gut link 22:27 - Homocysteine, creatine, and methyl donors 25:31 - Why targeted supplementation beats random stacks 26:22 - Reading a supplement label for cofactors 28:41 - The genetic methylation test 30:06 - Q&A: fibroids, insulin resistance, the Dutch test 33:03 - Q&A: LDL, triglycerides, and Lp(a) 39:58 - Q&A: high cortisol and hormone ratios 43:58 - Q&A: Hashimoto's, the Dutch test, and the COMT gene 47:18 - Q&A: Asperger's and mood numbness 51:18 - Q&A: anaphylaxis and mast cell activation 57:20 - Q&A: vitiligo and red light therapy 59:59 - Q&A: low T3, the liver, and selenium 1:05:28 - Q&A: IBS and the pace of the gut Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

Dr. Joe Dituri, also known as Dr. Deep Sea, spent 100 straight days living underwater and walked away with lower cholesterol, longer telomeres, and twice the stem cells, so I had to get him on to break down what hyperbaric oxygen actually does. In this episode, we cover why a focused 20-day protocol might move your health-span more than any supplement stack, how his deep and REM sleep nearly doubled, and the safety rules almost no home-chamber owner knows. It genuinely shifted how I run my own chambers, and it'll shift how you think about oxygen, pressure, and aging, too.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARY’S VIP!: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Get Dr. Deep Sea’s book, “Secrets in Depth”: https://bit.ly/4q8tNat Connect with Dr. Deep Sea Website: https://bit.ly/45IaXxs   YouTube: https://bit.ly/45wPsjj   Instagram: https://bit.ly/4fKDnNk  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4q2E7AB   X: https://bit.ly/4wKQmEy   LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4bwsvQz   Thank you to our partners A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD AIRES: "ULTIMATE20 " FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/4a3Duze BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKpCYMBIOTIKA: "BRECKACYM30" FOR 30% OFF: https://bit.ly/4tjyluP GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): https://bit.ly/48QJJrk GENETIC TEST (USA ONLY): ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC H2TAB: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S PEPTUAL: “TUH10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4mKxgcn SNOOZE: LET’S GET TO SLEEP!: https://bit.ly/4pt1T6V WHOOP: JOIN & GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8foX: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: https://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Timestamps 00:00 - ​Intro of Show 01:52 - The 100-day underwater world record 02:13 - Cholesterol, stem cell, and telomere results 02:50 - From Navy diver to hyperbaric medicine 05:35 - The largest TBI study ever run 06:34 - The 13 mechanisms of action 08:58 - Why pressure and dose matter 11:03 - The $101 million X Prize 13:24 - The hyperoxic-hypoxic chamber 16:16 - Doubling stem cells in five days 24:06 - Why more is never better 26:18 - Deep and REM sleep underwater 32:18 - Intermittent hypoxia and mitochondria 42:54 - Altitude and legal blood doping 47:43 - A 100-year safety record 52:44 - His stroke and the road back 01:06:48 - Oxygen, sugar, and cancer research 01:14:10 - Stacking sauna, ice, and red light 01:16:57 - The sauna-before-bed sleep hack 01:20:30 - What it means to be an ultimate human Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

When Dr. Brian Christine, the 18th Assistant Secretary for Health, told me men's sperm counts have dropped nearly 50% in just a few decades, it stopped me cold. We got into why America has fallen below replacement fertility, what's really driving it, from microplastics to ultra-processed food, and why restoring peptides to compounding pharmacies matters for anyone who's been buying them online. If you care about your fertility, your health, and staying out of the chronic-disease hamster wheel, this one's for you.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARY’S VIP!: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Connect with Dr. Brian Christine Website: https://bit.ly/3ShXdX4 Thank you to our partners A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD AIRES: "ULTIMATE20 " FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/4a3Duze BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKpCYMBIOTIKA: "BRECKACYM30" FOR 30% OFF: https://bit.ly/4tjyluP GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): https://bit.ly/48QJJrk GENETIC TEST (USA ONLY): ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC H2TAB: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S PEPTUAL: “TUH10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4mKxgcn SNOOZE: LET’S GET TO SLEEP!: https://bit.ly/4pt1T6V WHOOP: JOIN & GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8fo X: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: https://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Timestamps 00:00 - ​Intro of Show 01:24 - Meet the Assistant Secretary for Health 02:40 - From neurosurgery to men's health 07:15 - Praying for the job at the cathedral 09:08 - What the Assistant Secretary actually does 10:32 - Flipping the food pyramid 14:14 - Prevention first, not reactive care 17:56 - Fighting big food resistance 24:44 - What's in the HHS crosshairs 25:16 - Bringing back the fitness test 26:51 - Fertility below replacement 28:31 - Sperm counts down 50% 32:56 - Peptides return to compounding 35:06 - The peptide black market danger 37:06 - The Surgeon General's office 39:08 - Rebuilding trust after COVID 43:02 - The next three years at HHS 45:17 - What it means to be an Ultimate Human 48:47 - VIP questions on food and water Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

Dr. Josh Axe spent two years exhausted before an advanced blood panel revealed the real problem: his vitamin B2 was almost undetectable, and his mitochondria were badly depleted. Once he corrected it, his energy went from a 6 out of 10 to a 10 out of 10. The fix wasn't a stimulant or a gadget, it was testing inside the cell (RBC markers, not just serum) instead of trusting "normal" bloodwork. If rest isn't fixing your fatigue, this is the episode that tells you where actually to look. As always, this is general wellness education and not medical advice, so run your own testing and dosing with your clinician.

You might think the win on a GLP-1 like Ozempic or Mounjaro is the number dropping on your scale, but I need you to ask a better question, not how much you're losing, but what kind. In some studies, 40 to 60% of the weight people lost on these drugs came from lean muscle, not fat, and that's a metabolic loss that costs you your strength and your ability to keep the weight off. These are the most powerful fat-loss tools we've ever had, but a tool without a protocol is just potential. Hit your protein and lift, or you're trading muscle for a number you'll spend years trying to earn back.

You'd think the dirtiest air you breathe all day is outside, but Mike Feldstein showed me it's the opposite. The average home is usually 5 to 10 times dirtier than the air outside, and since the 1970s we've built homes airtight for energy efficiency, so every new couch, rug, and coat of paint off-gasses right where you live. In a study of 150 people, just cleaning the bedroom air got them 25 more minutes of sleep a night and 18% more deep sleep. If you've been waking up tired, foggy, or congested and can't figure out why, don't start with your bloodwork. Start with the tank you're living in.
