Gary Brecka: Human Biologist on Predicting How Long You’ll Live

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Gary Brecka, a human biologist and former mortality expert, who provides an in-depth discussion about an array of topics ranging from how to predict your lifespan, insights into longevity, and the impact of daily habits on our health.
We also dive into genetic testing, the role of vitamins and minerals in our bodies, and the importance of gut health. This conversation was not only educational but also empowering and it serves as a reminder that understanding our bodies can lead to actionable steps toward better health. As Gary rightly puts it, "Most people have forgotten how good normal really feels.
Gary Brecka is a professional Human Biologist, and the Co-Founder of 10X Health System based in Miami, FL. His goal is to empower people to become the best version of themselves.

[@robertgeczi]

The interview was a little all over the place lol ...but the info, is just insane. I've watched a ton of vids on Gary and I always seem to pull away some new info from new vids that come out on YT. Amazing stuff.

[@gradest3407]

I’m not gonna lie it took me about 15 minutes to get past the fact of her not looking him in the eye. Say what you want, but wearing a hat like that is so disrespectful.

[@lauraf.2450]

I agree. I would have started listening to her because she had a great guest, but the way she presents herself is a disappointment.

[@fearlessfitnessltd3922]

The interviwer kept asking questions that were interupting Gary’s flow and became annoying. I only kept listening because of the guest. Listen dont talk over the guest.

[@FromPeloToYourHeart]

Did it occur that maybe her eyes are sensitive to too much light, those light can be bright, some even wear sunglasses to protect their eyes. You can see the cap is literally covering her eye balls. Let's be a little understanding ❤❤❤

[@dandunn666]

So it’s not her prerogative as to what she wears? Are they in a Legion? How about rooting for and if do you need something to critique, probably looking in the mirror. What is it? You’re exactly saying, I can’t hear ideas and use my imagination because somebody’s wearing a hat, if you were blind . . . I would give her a hug and tell her keep going, I believe in you. I may not agree with what you say, but I defend my death. You’re right to say it, that is if I wasn’t such a coward. I’m going to split. It’s been very centrifugal force.

[@livefreeallways]

the medical system is a death system and the vet is the same. They poisoned both of my dogs. The one I have left had seizures after an antibiotic. Fortunately I'm in the health field and was able to figure out a way to heal her on my own through nutrition. We have to become experts of our own body and do our best to avoid doctors.

[@valeriew5934]

Why do you not believe Gary

[@floridianhomesteader4262]

Love Gary and that he thinks Drs are genuinely good hearted. I would say nurses are good hearted 85% of Doctors are either burnt out or just don't care. My mom has Alzheimer's and her primary care physician prescribed her two different medications they clashed with each other and she knew it and it ended up making my mom's dementia and Alzheimer's worse. It took another doctor who didn't even prescribe her the medication and wasn't her primary physician to catch it. This was a Doctor that is through the VA I might add. I think people like Gary seem to care more than the average doctor. Doctors are trained in medicine and prescribing not making people better. Sad that it takes people like Gary to step out into the public eye and bring the truth to light for a lot of us where most doctors fail. When I was at the hospital having my 2nd son my blood sugar was normal and the Dr at the time (not my obgyn) tried to put me on an insulin drip while I still had my son in me. It took the nurses to tell me when she left that my blood sugar was fine (which I already knew bc I reversed my type 2 diabetes without the help of Drs.) And they were the ones that told me I had a choice and didn't have to accept the drip. A lot of Doctors only care about money, especially in Florida.

[@valeriew5934]

Thank you for sharing

[@gthomas3609]

[@alexanderagbuya3944]

Very informative…need one more episode, pls

[@McBeth.]

Had my D-3 levels checked a couple of months ago. I went for annual blood labs and made sure to ask the doctor if D-3 would be amongst the routine things to be checked and she told me "No, you'll have to pay $84 if you want it checked - it's not covered". I'm in British Columbia, Canada, where doctor visits and blood labs are free. I don't know if my D levels have ever been checked. Should a patient have to ask for what ought to be routine attention, in a place that's north of the 49th parallel? A great doctor I saw 30 years ago was the first to check my B-12 and discovered I was dangerously low. My iron/ferritin was also low. He (doctor) left private practice and no other doctor since every added two and two together to tell me that I needed methylfolate supplementation, despite continued persistent symptoms. I'm really glad a friend shared this video with me, and grateful for the info.

[@tomstclair961]

I read an article once describing med school students, and what they've learned to obtain a license. The instructor of the class said , by the time they had graduated pretty much everything they had just learned will be old news because of the advancement of technology coming out. So it kinda blew my mind that everything they had been taught almost wouldn't be used any longer.. They would be on their own so to speak, and have to adapt and learn through ongoing educational programs and real hand experiences they would be confronted with each day forward after graduation.. That's pretty scary!! It adds up with the malpractice suits taking place and mis diagnosis that happens each day. Thank God someone has stepped up to share some darn truth with society about how your body works and creates. Now take it another step by incorporating frequencies and the quantum field into your studies. How we can heal, and kill the body by our thoughts..

[@HayabusaOrlando]

1:13:00 Thinking outside the box, maybe the topic of conversation could have been about cutting out sugar, etc. that you have been doing in your life and maybe that man would have picked up some ideas about turning his life around.

[@user-ts8hd8fw6q]

[@cliffscott9547]

My cardiologist has me on metoprolol, pravastatin, ortho has me on Lyrica and morphine as needed, tazanadine 6 mg for surgical back spasms, and the pulmonologist put me on klonopin 2mg for REM sleep. I work out but live in terrible hip and back pain. I would love to get off these, especially metoprolol, Lyrica, and the statin. I wish I could stop all of it.

[@valeriew5934]

We can change all of that by changing our way of eating like cutting out all sugar whether real or fake and processed foods plus don’t buy GMO foods, I haven’t completely stopped all sugar bc I need a little sweetener in my coffee but what I have stopped I can feel the difference for the best

[@elizabethtetlow656]

This podcast was full of gold nuggets. Does he have a book or something that breaks down what the average person should do to take more control over their health? I love what he’s saying but most physicians can’t extrapolate data the way he does…

[@valeriew5934]

Gary’s website is The Ultimate Human and he has lots more podcasts here on KZbin

[@jayflunker7118]

I love this guy, he’s amazing! Really sending him to everyone I know especially older friends and relative who could be about to drop dead and not even know it. I really into his content like no other. One thing I’d like to correct though, I believe. Mountain valley Spring water is ‘alkaline water’ Natural alkaline water is very very good for us compared to tap water (which has all sorts of things in it not good for us like chlorine, fluoride, etc.) And purified bottled water is acidic, because all the minerals are removed during the purification process. Store bought alkaline water like Kroger and Walmart and even big brand like Essencia are purified water plus chemical compounds like sodium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium bicarbonate, etc, are not naturally made, so maybe those aren’t good I’m not %100. But to say alkaline water is not needed in a blanket statement is incorrect, especially then recommending an alkaline water like Mountain Valley Spring water is alkaline water. Alkaline just means pH of higher than 7 (which is caused by mineral content of the spring)

[@kellidickerson1429]

I don't believe so. Alkaline water typically has a ph range of 8-9.5. Mountain Valley ranges from 7.3-7.7 which is in the neutral range.

[@paularioli4308]

Very helpful podcast.. if you aren't to important to respond.lol please tell me, you had mentioned SAMe for sleep or insomnia, antidepressants were also back-to-back one thing that you didn't mention was SAMe shouldn't be taken with serotonin reuptake (most antidepressants) I also found it fascinating that you mentioned BPC 157( I I've taken for healing purposes.. BPC 157 creates angiogenesis which could cause the growth of good or bad cells, which could potentially be a carcinogen.. the only time I benefited from BPC 157 is when I stacked it with TB 500 injected subcutaneously..

Great conversation and I appreciate the conversation going into places that are uncomfortable- Those places need to be delved into. Chlorine is a gas at room temp. so you don't need to filter it out if you can let your drinking water sit out for a period of time. I've heard 24hr but I do it longer. The only thing that would've made it better is removing the frequent mouse clicking noise as it's annoying and distracting.

You should listen to several of his podcasts or videos,many of,not all MD’s are pill pushers ,but a lot are ,and depending on insurance coverage,not all will pop at for extensive testing, drugs do have very toxic side effects,and they (Dr’s ) don’t suggest specific vitamins or supplements that can reverse health issues, did a lot of research,and changed my dietary habits,and vitamins I started taking,got off deadly meds ,yes you can do it.
