Transform Your Health and Longevity: Episode #418 with Gary Brecka of The Ultimate Human

There's no, like, Gary Brecker program. There's no ebook that I have or no course you subscribe to. You get this genetic test either through us or get it wherever you want to get the test. And then based on that test, you supplement for the sake of deficiency, not for the sake of supplementing. When I open most people's cabinets, it's like turmeric and Coq 10 and St. John's wort and curcumin and it's, you know, vitamin C and a multivitamin, all of this stuff. And when you ask them why they're taking it or what it's for, they rarely know. If you ask, you get an income statement, balance sheet, P and L for your body. You're not guessing at what you need to supplement with anymore. I mean, it's a game changer and it can't do any harm. It can only not help.

All right.

Hey, what up, masters? Welcome to another episode of Path to Mastery podcast. We have Mr. Gary Brea back with us again. Man, it's been like, I think eight months, Gary, since last year.

Yeah, man, yeah, it was a great podcast.

Yeah, thank you. But so many things have changed with you in the last eight months, man.

You than like being strapped to a rocket ship.

Yeah, brother, that's amazing. Congratulations. What's different between now and eight months ago when you were on?

Well, I mean, just the expansion of our franchises across the country. You know, a couple of international destinations. London, Stadt, Switzerland, Dubai underway and, you know, the automation of our gene testing and, you know, a substantial increase in the size of our clinical team, which is. Has just been amazing. You know, I went to my, my Christmas party. There's 80 people there. I didn't barely, barely recognize that half of the party. It's just a testament to, you know, how much impact is being made. I just. And you know, I love it.

What do you mean you barely recognized half of them?

Well, because we, you know, when, when I sold the company to Grant Cardone you know, we platformed it with Grant Cardone so that mainly his partner Brandon and his wife could help us scale. And the scale has just been tremendous.

Okay, good for you, man. Congratulations. Well, congrats. And. And something that I noticed at growthcon. You were sitting front row. I was in front row, like, almost across from me. I don't know if you saw me or not, but, yeah, when Dana was up on the stage and he was. He was talking about you. And for people that are listening, you were sitting with your hands like this, like, thank you. Like, thank you. Like, yeah, same thing you're doing right now. Like, almost like a prey, man. How did. How. That's so awesome, man. I saw that. I was like, that is amazing.

Just, you know, when you. When you've, like, aligned your passion and your purpose and, like, someh found something in your life that you would otherwise do for free and you. And you manage to monetize it, it's the. I mean, it's the greatest blessing in the world, you know? You know, I. I don't have a. I don't have a side gig. You know, I mean, this is what I would choose to do if I was on vacation or, you know, with my free time. You know, I read peer review journals for support, so I love that. And I'm really blessed to have an amazing clinical team because, you know, I'm not licensed to practice medicine, so I. I need to have people that are in the practice of medicine understand the importance of how we interpret blood work and how we interpret genetic testing and then put that into practice and to watch it come to fruition and see the impact on lives. You know, people see all the celebrities and the A listers, the athletes, but the truth is, I don't necessarily want to be known for just A listers and athletes. That's why I put this saying right here on my lapel. It says, get what the pros get, because, you know, it's not about this patch so much. It's about humanity and mankind. And when, you know, I see the revenue as a measure of how many lives we're impacting. And then when Dana got up there and just went on a diatribe about how much impact it had on his life and how he got off of all these medications, and he's not on blood pressure meds anymore, he's not using the CPAP anymore, he, you know, he can tie his shoes. He's back exercising, he's down 48 pounds. I mean, that is just chicken soup for my soul. Man, that's why, that's why I was just sitting, going, yeah. You know, part of me was saying, thank you, God. And part of me was just saying, I can't believe that I'm living this moment. I wanted to just be as present as possible.

Well, congratulations. I know a lot, a lot of humans and I know you know, this. We're, we're gonna, we're gonna have a science conversation in a few minutes, but.

Yeah, let's do it. I love science, man.

Like, I know you do, but it's like you hit that, that place that not a lot of human beings be able to, to, to hit where like everything is, has, you know, I don't know if manifested is the right word, but like. Right. Is that how you feel? Like, wow. Everything I was trying to achieve is like, it's here, right? Tell us a little bit about that because I think that's powerful.

Well, you know, before, I mean, I talk about this a lot from the stage, but I felt like I was very inauthentic in my previous career. You know, I'd accepted my monetary reward for, you know, what I was being told was managing data. You know, so for, for 22 years I was a mortality expert in, in the insurance industry. And so I would get all of this data on people. I would get all their medical records, all their demographic data, all the information on their life trust accounts, all of this stuff. And I was charged with helping to determine how many more months that person had left on earth so they can properly price a financial services product. And you know, and when you're in that career, you're kind of accepting the brainwash that this is just data, right? I mean, there's. That you're not the responsible for what you see. You're not, you know, you're not able to impact what you see. You just have to interpret it. And the truth is I, I began to realize there were human beings on the other side of these spreadsheets. And once you take the position that there's a human being on the other side of that spreadsheet and you, and you know that you can make a material impact on them if you could just have a conversation with them, talk to their treat physician, talk to the patient, then you start to realize you're in the wrong career. And you know, ironically, all I wanted to do is be wealthy and, and I wasn't becoming wealthy by doing it, even though I was extremely good at what I did. And when I left and just rolled the dice and started a wellness company, My sole intention was to focus on people's well being. And as soon as I shifted my focus to the well being of humanity and mankind, then the wealth came in abundance. And now I can't, I still can't believe. I feel like I live somebody else's life. I really do, because I do what I love. I preach what I love, I research what I love, I study what I love. I spend all the time in the world doing what I love. Like this doesn't feel like work to me right now and it's part of, part of my job. And you know, thanks to the grace of God and grant and my partners, you know, I'm able to not work in the business, but work on the business. So I do a lot of public speaking, a lot of teaching. So this is really helping me to make an impact. And that's what I intended to do when I left and now I can see it.

Well, again, congrats on that. That's amazing. Now you talked about the test you were doing before. Like you can tell how long somebody's gonna live. Like how, how, how accurate was that? And then the other point is like, once you do that, were you able to like now step in and say, hey, we can do some things that will help you live longer or did they just leave and that was it? Was that even a possibility?

Hey guys, come on in. Sorry, they're just dropping off. So, so really what happened was I, if you put it over there, you know, really what happened, you know, was when I, when I was in the mortality space, I mean, I get a lot of flack from, for, for saying we used to predict mortality to the month, but it is truly some of the most accurate science in the world. Because if you think about any other financial services enterprise, there's no hedge fund, there's no angel investor, there's no venture capital fund, there's no bank that takes that level of risk on a single variable, right? I mean, when a life insurance company binds risk on your life, 25 million, 50 million, $100 million on your life, they're only betting on one thing. You know, how many more months does this person have left on earth? And yes, everybody that's listening to this podcast is on an actuarial curve somewhere, right? If you're a 32 year old male, you have a life expectancy of X. If you're a 55 year old female, you have a life expectancy of Y. But the insurance company doesn't care where you are on that actuarial curve. They Want to know your specific mortality. And if you don't think that that science is accurate, you're wrong. Because if you look at, for example, the financial services crisis, you know, we just had another 16th largest money centered bank in the world fail again. During the 2008, 2009 financial crisis, we had 364 banks fail. We did not have a single life insurance company fail. In fact, the life insurance division for aig, one of the largest life insurance companies in the world, bailed out the failing credit derivatives division of the company. And the reason why financial services companies that are in the life business are so solvent is because they are very good at what they do. And what they do is they predict death, and they predict death to the month. And this is how annuities are priced. This is how reverse mortgages are priced. This is how life insurance is priced. You know, if you, if you've ever heard of an annuity, one called Aspia Single Premium Immediate Annuity, you can go to a life insurance company at any age, you can give them a lump sum of cash and they will guarantee you a certain income stream for life. Well, how do you think they're coming up with that guaranteed income stream? And when I take out a $50 million life insurance on my life and they're determining how that life insurance policy is priced, are you super preferred? Are you preferred? Are you standard? Are you table rated? How do you think they're coming up with that prediction? They're looking at your life expectancy, right? The longer your life expectancy, the more preferred the rating, the lower your premium, the shorter the life expectancy, the worse the rating, the higher your premium. And it is very accurate science. And I do not mean to say that I can predict exactly the day that you're going to die, because no, we cannot tell if you're going to die in a commercial aircraft crash or if you're going to get hit by a bus or get T boned at an intersection. But there are statistical variables for that. But we can very accurately discern based on blood work and gene testing. And we don't, by the way, I don't do this any longer. I've only done it once since I left that career. I have no interest in predicting death anymore. I only have an interest in extending life. Yeah, but I did it for Dana because he insisted. But the test that we do does not use your blood work and genetic test to tell you how many more months you have left on Earth. What it tells you is what is your body deficient in that is keeping you from living the most optimal life possible. Because one of the things that I learned in this decades of research is that the majority of ailments that human beings are facing are what we call modifiable risk factors. I knew that if I had been able to talk to the patient or speak to the treating physician, on average I could have added seven years to that person's life. And the reason why I know that is I would go in and artificially manipulate the model. What if I fix the vitamin D3 deficiency? What if I balance the hormones? What if I improve the body mass index? What if I fix the anemia that this person has? What if we had made them more compliant by improving the cognitive function? And you would just see the life expectancy cpop, I mean one of the largest population databases in the world is owned by life insurance companies. Only that database will never see the light of day because we, they use that database to price financial services products against the client. And so if it could see the light of day, I believe that it would permanently change the place humanity. I believe it would upend modern medicine in a way that would be catastrophic. Right? Because they have data. They have data that no other enterprise has. They know the day, the date, the time, the location and the cause of death for every single person they pay out a death claim on. In order for your family to get the death claim on your loved one's life, or for your company to get the key man policy payout, you have to provide a death certificate. And on that death certificate is all the information about what led to your demise. They can triangulate that information back into the medical record, back into your lifestyle and they can see, well, here's the prolonged progression of his cardiovascular disease, here's the prolonged progression of his as long term use of statins, the long term use of beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, corticosteroids. So unlike modern medicine, they track every single one of these all the way to the end destination. If you go to a cardiologist, if I'm your cardiologist and you come in and I put a couple of stints in your heart and you leave my office, I don't know if you die then, you know, the next week, the next month or ten years later, and I don't know if you died of something related to the complication from the, the heart surgery or if you died ripe old age or of something completely different, but they do, they knew exactly death. And so this data is extraordinarily important, and it's extraordinarily different from what other medical enterprises have. So imagine having access to a population database with hundreds of millions of lives and seeing somebody that got misdiagnosed with something like rheumatoid arthritis because they had a clinical deficiency in vitamin D3, and just going into the record and artificially looking at the model and saying, what if I fix the vitamin D3 deficiency? Boop. I see the life expectancy jump. What if I actually realize that this person has a folate deficiency and they're taking folic acid, but they can't convert folic acid into methylfolate, so therefore the folic acid is useless for them. The deficiency continues, the anemia is continuing in their blood. They are hypoxic and not transporting oxygen. Well. The presence of oxygen is the absence of disease. I would begin to shorten their life expectancy. And so that science, as much as I get attacked for it online, is some of the most accurate science in the world. No, you can't come to Gary Breca and Gary Brca, look at your blood and look at your dean test and say, you have 57 and 1/2 months left on earth. That's not what I've ever claimed, and that's not what I did. What we did was we used five or 10 years of medical records, five or 10 years of demographic data. We modeled this, and we said, assuming that these conditions do not change, this inflammation in the liver is progressive, the anemia is never cured, the rheumatoid arthritis that was misdiagnosed is never corrected. You know, the. The excess level of triglycerides and atherosclerotic plaques continues on this trajectory, then you can zero in on death very accurately.

So, so let's. Let's switch gears now and talk about, like, for, like, like the other side of that, right? Like, people. Why people come to you.

They.

They get these. These tests. I did one myself. I've done multiples. Helped me tremendously with digestion, things like that. With my stomach, I was having issues. But what's the main reason people come to you to. To. To. To do the testing?

I mean, the main reason people come is because they want to be optimal, right? I mean, I've never had a patient walk in the door and say, hey, I just want to be average. Can you just help me, you know, get through the day?

What up, entrepreneur masters? I'm gonna get right back to the show. I want to tell you about Chris Voss. You all know who Chris is. If you haven't listened to his episodes yet, then make sure you go back and listen to him. But he is doing a Negotiation Mastery Summit in Louisville, Kentucky, coming up March 17th through the 18th. And I want to see you there. The best way to take advantage of that is go to my site, David Hill AI. Make sure you go to davidhill AI. And the top link says negotiation Summit. Click on that. It's everything you need to get yourself signed up and get yourself to Kentucky because you want to be in this negotiations clinic because Chris is the best of the best. Y', all, if you have any questions, reach out to me again. Davidhill AI join us at the Negotiation Mastery Summit, March 17th and 18th in Kentucky. You rock. Enjoy the rest of the show.

They want it all, right? I mean, they want everything that God made man to have, which is clean, clear waking energy, strong libido, healthy response to exercise, deep delta wave of sleep, you know, not issues with weight gain and water retention and hormone imbalance, no brain fog, no issues with short term recall, and none of this chronic disease. We have a tendency to think disease is something that's happening to us, and it's not. It's something that happens within us. When you go into the human body and you deplete certain raw material, like just take vitamin D3, for example, eventually the immune system will follow, and eventually the bones will follow, and eventually the cognitive function will follow. If you go into the body and you deplete the neurotransmitter serotonin, that is, by definition, depression. Serotonin is actually made methylated from an amino acid called tryptophan. So if you have this tryptophan amino acid in the blood and the body methylates this into the neurotransmitter serotonin, it goes into the brain and it elevates our mood, our emotional state. It's a component of all elevated moods and emotions. So when someone has emotional disturbance, depression, very often the depression is not coming from a cluster of symptoms, not always. It's coming from their gut. And if you look at that and accept the fact that 90% of the serotonin that regulates our mood is actually methylated in the gut, then you realize that depression rarely begins out here. It usually begins right here. 90% of the serotonin in the human body is in our gut. If you don't have it here, you can't have it here. That is very true with dopamine, the main driver of behavior. And so we have an income statement and a balance sheet and a P and L for our business. But very few of us have an income statement balance sheet and a P and L for our bodies. We don't know what's going on. Like we should know the bottom line and the profit margins for our biochemistry way more than we know them for our business. Because the business will not be able to do anything if that part of the equation fails. Everything in your life, every facet of your life, the level of enjoyment you get out of life, your ability to set goals and milestones and priorities and take care of your kids and thr and build a business, everything depends on whether or not you have the right biochemistry. You know, whether what your state of health is Sick, fat, tired people do not build empires. Right? So when we're out there trying to build an empire and take care of our families and, and operate a business and trying to get a leg up on the competition, before we try to think about the leg up on social media, advertising or Google search words, we ought to think about the leg up on our ability to focus. Yeah, right. I mean, because we'll never be able to really manage time, but we can manage our focus. So how do we get more focus? We get our body into a state of bio optimization. And look, I, I like everybody to do the gene test. I think every human being listening to this should do the gene test. We offer the gene test for $600, but you do not have to get the gene test through me. There are lots of great companies that do these gene tests, but I'm telling you, you know, not that you don't have to pay gary bracker or 10x health to do this gene test, but find out, you know, companies that actually run this genetic analysis because it's a test you do once in your lifetime, it'll tell you exactly what your body converts into the raw material and what it doesn't. And when you have, when you find this deficiency and you supplement for that deficiency rather than supplementing for the sake of supplementing, magic things happen. And I would love to agree with all the pundits out there that say, well, if you just eat, eat healthy and you get exercise, you drink clean water, you're going to be fine. But that is a lot harder of a task than people make it out to be, right? Between restaurants and travel and inorganic foods and non grass fed meats and non pasture raised chickens and no free range eggs, the quality and the nutrient density of our foods is horrible. And so yes, if you were a member of an Amish farm and you ate grass fed meats and you ate all whole foods and you didn't have any processed foods or pesticides or herbicides or insecticides, then, then, yes, you would be healthy without any intervention. But for 99% of the population, that's impossible, including myself. And I do it for a living. And in your case, in that case, you need to supplement for deficiency. If your body can't convert folic acid into methylfolate, you need to know that so you can supplement. Supplement with methylfolate. If your body doesn't respond to certain forms of vitamin B12, you need to know so you have the best nerve function and neural transmission speed that you can have. If your body has an issue methylating serotonin, if your body can't convert T4 into T3 and you're diagnosed with hypothyroid, wouldn't you rather know that this is an issue in the gut with a conversion of these hormones, rather than an issue with an organ in your body that needs to be medicated? And I'm not saying that medication is never necessary. I'm just saying that very often we have deficiencies in the human body that express themselves as disease. I make the argument that for most of the people listening to this podcast, right now you are walking around at about 50 to 55% of your true state of normal. And the only difference between where you are and where you could be is knowing what your body is deficient in. And once you find that deficiency, supplementing for that deficiency, rather than the sake of supplement, supplementing will be a game changer for you.

Yeah, well, I experienced that myself. So let me ask you this. So I know there's some of the companies that say you should test every six months. Is that because you just said you do it once in a lifetime? Is that a different test or is that.

I mean, you can do your blood test every six months, you know, because blood levels have a tendency to change. Like hormone levels change, nutrient levels change. You know, your, your kidney filtration rates, your immune system, your liver filtration rates, you know, all of these different things in your. In your blood can change. Your thyroid levels can change, cortisol levels can change. Your IGF1 levels can rise and fall. So looking at your blood every six months, it's a great idea as a measure of how well you're doing. But you will never have the outcome in the blood that you're after until you know what raw materials missing from your body and which form of that raw material your body needs. That's why I say you do the genetic test once in your lifetime because your genes that you're born with are the genes you you'll die with. That's why you'll never repeat that test. So once you do that cheek swab test, and it says, hey, you have the MTHFR gene mutation, affectionately called the gene. 44% of the population has this gene mutation, right? Which means 44% of the population has impaired folate metabolism. And what's the problem with impaired folate metabolism? Well, if you don't supplement with methylfolate, then you have mild anxiousness, you have mild anxiety, you have gut issues that have plagued you your entire life. And you can't seem to tie the issues in your gut. The gas, the bloating, the diarrhea, the constipation, the irritability, the cramping. You can't seem to tie it to what's in your diet, right? Because. And people come to me all the time. They're like, gary, I have all these allergies. I'm allergic to wheat, soy, corn, dairy, gluten, blueberries, bananas. I'm like, whoa, slow down. First of all, you couldn't have all those allergies because you'd be allergic to all nine of the essential amino acids. You'd be dead. But the reason why you think you have all these allergies is because you're always equating what you ate to what's going on with your gut. And we have to understand that very often the pace of the gut is more important than its contents, meaning the speed at which that conveyor belt moves is more important than the contents on the conveyor belt. The human intestinal tract is 30ft long. You know, contents exit the stomach, they're very acidic, they exit the rectum. They're very basic. The bacteria are graded by ph. And as they progress down, you know, contents are properly digested, and we get all of our nutrients from that. When the function in the. When the speed of the gut is changed, the role of that bacteria is perverted. And when their role perverts, you get all kinds of issues. Gas, bloating, diarrhea.

So what, what changes the speed?

So there are gene mutations, two of them, specifically, one called MTR and one called mtrr. And these are related to the motility of the gut. When you have one of these gene mutations, you take a very specific form of B complex, a very specific form of vitamin B12. And now the body has the raw material to restore NORMA to the intestinal tract. And what you thought were allergies seemingly go away, right? Because I talk to, you know, clients all the time, and I. And I'll take an item that they tell me they're allergic to. Like you're allergic to corn? Yes. Okay, well, is there ever a time that you can eat corn and not have a reaction? In almost every case, they say, yes. And I go, okay, well, then you're not allergic to corn. Right? Because allergies are not transient. Allergies are consistent. We don't wake up Monday morning allergic to milk, and then we're unallergic on Wednesday afternoon, realrgic on Saturday morning. What happens is the pace of the gut is changing. And so if the last thing I ate was dairy or wheat or coin or corn or soy or blueberries or bananas or what have you, I go, oh, I just ate that acai bowl, had a banana. Must be the banana that's causing that issue. The next time that I eat a banana on my oatmeal, I don't have any issue. So why is that? Well, you're truly not allergic to bananas. You're actually the, the pace of your gut is changing. I mean, these can be life changing for people. And it's. And, and I'm not even saying you, you. There's no, like, Gary Brecker program. There's no ebook that I have or no course you subscribe to. You get this genetic test either through us or get it wherever you want to get the test, and then based on that test, you supplement for the sake of something of deficiency, not for the sake of supplementing. When I open most people's cabinets, it's like turmeric and Coq 10 and St. John's Wort and, and curcumin and, and it's, you know, vitamin C and a multivitamin, all of this stuff. And when you ask them why they're taking it or what it's for, they rarely know. If you ask, if you get an income statement, a balance sheet p. L. For your body, you're not guessing at what you need to supplement with anymore. I mean, it's a game changer, and it can't do any harm. It can only not help. And so that's the foundation of what I try to teach, is that, you know, when you deprive the human body of certain raw material, you get the expression of that disease.

Well, let me, let me ask you this. And I, we, I, I told, I told Mariah that we'd have you off in 30 minutes. She's probably waiting to you now, like, so One thing I learned about myself recently, and maybe this will help some others, is although I've done, I've done the test and I've changed my diet and I've taken, I still ended up continuing to, to kind of come back to having some issues. Not as bad. But what I realized is I was eating food like this just occurred to me, like if I don't eat after like 7 o', clock, I don't have any issues. Is that, is that common? Like, oh, that's, I figured that out on my own without.

That's so common. Remember, as a part of going to sleep, one of the things that happens as we ease into delta wave of sleep is our gastrointestinal motility stops. Not all the way stops, but it pauses. Right. Which is why we rarely wake up at night to go number two. We can wake up at night to go number one because we're still filtering fluids out of the blood and putting them into the bladder, but our gastrointestinal motility slows down. So not only if we eat late at night and then go right to bed, are we allowing those contents to putrefy. Right. So now if I slow down the pace of the gut and I put food into a dark, moist, oxygen deprived environment, what do you think happens? Same thing that happens to dirty laundry, right? I mean, take a pile of wet laundry out of the washer and set it in front of the washer and just come back 24 hours later and start pawing through to the middle of that laundry. It will not only be warmer, but it will start to smell. That's bacteria outgassing, right? So the same thing is happening in the gut. When contents putrefy, bacteria outgass, they create toxic byproducts. These pass through the intestinal wall, they get into the bloodstream and they cause all kinds of complications. People that eat late at night report four times the level of morning headaches. People that eat late at night wake up more dehydrated than people that eat within two hours of bedtime. And so, so, you know, the, the timing of food is also, also very important.

The amount too, right? Like, because what, that's another thing I noticed. Like I would eat a lot. Like, although I'm lean and fit, I'd eat big portions. And I mean our biggest portion should.

Be our lunchtime meal. You know, as a rule of thumb, I eat fats and proteins before 2pm and then in, in the evenings I'll have carbohydrates and I'll have them not within two Hours of bedtime. And I'll have them generally in a smaller meal. So my biggest meal is at lunch. You know, I made a mess of lunch today. Four scrambled eggs, I put a little bit of Parmesan cheese on it. I had some arugula, I put a lot of extra virgin olive oil on that. I had half an avocado, fistful of strawberries. And then I just took some crushed pecans and put it over the arugula. Delicious. Very high in fat, very high in protein, very, very low in carbs. And. And because high glycemic carbohydrates divert blood to the gut. Just remember that your guts again, it's a 30 foot long tube. It's enveloped with blood vessels. And so for me, my energy is a very high priority. For me, you know, if you ever watch my Instagram videos or see some of my travel videos, you know, I'll do six countries, eight countries, nine countries in 11 days. People are like, good Lord, how do you keep up with that? It's because I'm very strict about what I eat and when I eat and I'm very strict about breath work, and I'm very strict about hydration. And so you can mitigate all of those, the impacts of travel. The same thing we can do when we're home. It's not socially acceptable to eat so early. But if you're going to bed at 10 o' clock at night, you shouldn't be eating anything after 8 o'. Clock. And you go to bed at midnight, you shouldn't be anything after 9 o'. Clock. But a lot of us eat our biggest meal late at night and go straight to bed.

Davidhill AI, join us at the Negotiation Mastery Summit March 17th and 18th in Kentucky. You rock. Enjoy the rest of the show makes sense. Well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get you out of here in a minute. I'm just curious. The last thing is breath. I mean, you talk. I see you on Instagram doing the breath work.

I think I posted one this morning.

Yeah, it's, it's cool. And then every time you say, I write it down here, I. The presence of, of oxygen is the absence of disease.

Nothing.

Yeah, it just makes me want to breathe. Like taking oxygen. Right.

I mean, look, I think I posted a couple of facts this morning about, about breathing. Believe it or not, 95% of human beings over the age of 30 will never sprint again for the rest of their Life. Less than 5% of the population will ever get into a dead sprint. After the age of 30, we begin to start to breathe with the upper part of upper third of our lungs. This is called the apex of the lung. Long. You can actually touch the top of your lung right here. It's right.

You mean like a fast, like a.

Hard all out sprint? Think about the last time you just went an all out dead sprint without somebody chasing you. Right? Maybe somebody draws a weapon, you know they're gonna run. But, but, you know, when did you go out and just sprint, right? And, and, and respire like your life depended on it. Right? I mean, you guys that are, that are doing CrossFit Bravo and F45 and Orange Theory where you actually, you're not sprinting, but you're respiring at that rate. I only use that statistic to show you how sedentary the majority of the population is. What happens is we start to breathe with the top third of our lungs, what's called the apex. Two thirds of our lung volume is down here in the lobes of the lungs. These are big sheets of tissue that go all the way from our spine all the way around our rib cage to the front. They have to dip down on both sides by our diaphragm. Two thirds of our lung capacity is here and it just fills with carbon dioxide, stale carbon dioxide, and it sits there. And so we don't respire enough. And so the breath work has you pulling out your belly button, pulling air into the lower part, into the lobes of the lungs, uses the diaphragm to massage the intestines and actually get food contents moving. The reason why you get lightheaded is because you're changing the oxygen tension in your tissues. You're forcing oxygen in and getting all those toxic gases out, the nitrogen and the carbon dioxide. So you get A little lightheaded and woozy. I don't get lightheaded and woozy when I do breath work anymore. I do three rounds of 30 breaths and I'm up to a four minute breath hold in between. So I do 30 breaths, exhale, I hold my breath for four minutes, I inhale, I hold my breath for 30 seconds to a minute and I start over again. When you start doing breath work, you can only hold your breath for 30 seconds, maybe a minute. And so it's free. Like there's no better advice that I can, that I can give you. I'll make nothing, you'll spend nothing. And the thing that it does too is it gives your body something to rely on. In other words, we are human beings, are creatures of habit. Our circadian rhythm, our biophysiology is not only tied to the sleep wake cycle of the sun, but it's tied to our eating and waking cycle. So let's say that you're traveling, right? How does your body know that it's morning versus night? How does my body not know the difference between? I'm in la, I'm in New York, I'm in Vegas, I'm in London. It's because within 15 minutes of waking, every day, without exception for almost three years, within 15 minutes of opening my eyes, I have found a location to sit down and do three rounds of 30 breaths. I do it so consistently like you could, my kids tease me, you could set your watch by a dad, you know, I get up, I walk down my hallway here, I go to my coffee machine, I get a cup of black coffee, I go out onto the balcony, right there, try to get first light, do three rounds of 30 breaths. If I'm in Dubai, I do the same thing. If I'm in London, I do the same thing. If in Vegas or New York or la, I do the exact same thing. And it gives your body consistency, right? And then the second thing I do is I never eat during my normal sleeping window. So no matter where I am in the world, I'm never eating between 10pm and 6am Eastern time. I never eat between 10pm and6am Eastern because that's normally when I'm sleeping. So if you start to feed yourself while your body is normally sleeping, there is zero chance of you adjusting to that time zone, you know? You know what I mean? Like if you, let's say you go to bed at 10pm and get up at 6am, I'll just make that up. Or let's say you go to bed at midnight and you get up at 6am now you go to London six hours later, right? So now midnight to 6am is 6am to noon. If you eat between 6am and noon in London, you're screwed. Right? Because it's. We are way more tired, tied to our digestive cycle than we are the sleep, wake, cycle of the sun. I mean, if you want to do an experiment, just set an alarm clock for 3:30 this morning, wake yourself up, eat three eggs, a little piece of steak, some avocado and have half a glass of champagne and try to go back to bed. It's not going to happen. And so what happens is when we shift time zones, we shift our feeding window and our sleeping window. You can shift your sleeping window, do not shift your feeding window. And it's a disaster physiologically.

All right, well listen, I appreciate you, man. I want to get you out of here today. How do people get the test? What's the best way to do that?

If you want to do the test through us, you can go to www.10x health test, the number 10, the letter x health test.com will ship the test right to your front door. There are lots of places you can find on Google that do the test roughly the same price that we do. I like to just say that because people always think I have an agenda to sell something. I don't. I want to just help humanity. But I do think you should get that test done. When you get the results of our test, we'll tell you exactly what supplements to take. If you want to get those supplements somewhere else, you're welcome to get them somewhere else. It just would prefer that you use a very good pharmaceutical grade brand like a Pure encapsulations or a 10x or a thorn, one of the really, really good, trustworthy brands that doesn't have the, you know, mercury in source. Source raw materials from China. And you know, you can get in touch with me or follow my teachings on Instagram at Gary Breca, just at my first and last name, Gary Breca. I, I really just try to teach on Instagram. I don't sell anything, you know, I don't have an agenda on there other than to get the information out. I really believe the information doesn't belong to me, belongs to humanity. It just kind of flows through me. So as often as possible I'm on Instagram teaching. So there's a lot of good stuff there.

Well, I appreciate you, man. Tell Mariah I appreciate her. So I'm sorry you went six minutes over. I'm gonna put that on you, but I take full responsibility. So I appreciate you, brother. Thank you so much. Seeing you at the next event. All right.

Okay.

All right.

All right. Sounds great, man. We'll talk.
