00:01:35.000I'm a human biologist, a biohacker, a researcher.
00:01:38.000I spent about 22 years in the mortality space as a mortality researcher for large life insurance companies.
00:01:46.000So essentially what that means is, if the team that I was working with got 10 years of medical records on you and 10 years of demographic data, we could tell the insurance company how long you had to live to the month.
00:01:57.000And I get a lot of flack for that because people go, if you predict life expectancy to the month, you'd be, you know, won a Nobel Prize, but it's actually some of the most accurate science in the world.
00:02:06.000What became glaringly apparent to me after 20 years in that industry was two things.
00:02:11.000Number one was that there were human beings on the other side of these spreadsheets.
00:02:16.000So I began to recognize that it wasn't just data.
00:02:18.000And I realized that had I been able to, which I was prohibited by law, pick up the phone and just contact some of these patients or some of the treating physicians that were seeing these patients, I could have added on average seven years to their lifespan.
00:02:32.000Not just their lifespan, but their healthspan.
00:02:34.000And so I abruptly quit that career and decided 10 years ago with my wife that I would start a functional medicine clinic and I would teach people how to live healthier, happier, longer, more fulfilling lives.
00:03:03.000As someone who has been really pushing for healthcare, like actually life care, not just healthcare, that you don't believe that there's a pill for every ill, what do you make of this emerging Maha movement?
00:03:13.000You know what's really amazing is that I travel the world, I have a health and wellness podcast, and so by the grace of God I get some of the brightest minds in the world come to see me.
00:03:24.000PhDs, MDs, researchers, biohackers, some of the most progressive minds in the field of longevity.
00:03:30.000What's very fascinating to me is that we are coming full circle, and we're just getting back to the basics.
00:03:38.000We're actually realizing that longevity, anti-aging, bio-optimization, wellness, extending our health span, extending our lifespan has to do with doing more of what God gave us and less of what man makes us.
00:04:29.000- Breath work will extend your lifespan.
00:04:31.000Now, the problem is that in comes the agricultural revolution and the corruption in our food supply and the corruption in our nutritional research and the stranglehold that food and pharma has on our public policy, and you start to reduce the chances that people can get back to the basics.
00:04:47.000Because when we, the amount of glyphosates and herbicides and insecticides and pesticides and preservatives that is embedded in our food supply, and when 70% of our nutritional research is funded by private companies, you get food pyramids that say Lucky Charms is more nutritious than grass-fed steak.
00:05:04.000And so the public doesn't stand a chance.
00:05:06.000And when you have 77% of our military-aged men and women that cannot qualify to enter the military because they can't pass a simple physical exam, you realize that we're about to have a national security crisis on our hands.
00:05:18.000And when you realize that as the biggest spender of healthcare worldwide, $4.5 trillion a year on healthcare, the United States only leads the world in seven things.
00:05:27.000Maternal mortality, infant mortality, the lowest life expectancies of the next 66 civilized nations in the world at birth, 66 in the world now below some sub-Saharan African nations.
00:05:41.000We lead the world in morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes, and multiple chronic disease in a single biome.
00:05:46.000And the reason for that is we believe That the solution to nutritional deficiencies, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are chemicals, synthetics, and pharmaceuticals.
00:05:56.000And we have sold the public a bill of lies that disease and pathology is genetically inherited, which it's not, right?
00:06:04.000The next time you're told that you have high blood pressure or you have hypothyroid or you have type 2 diabetes or you have a tendency for drug and alcohol addiction or any number of other things, you know, your thyroid is off because someone in your family had it.
00:06:17.000I want you to look that physician in the eye and I want you to ask them, if I inherited this from my ancestor, what gene did I inherit from that ancestor that caused this condition to exist?
00:06:26.000And you watch their face go blank because that gene doesn't exist, which means that those conditions do not exist.
00:06:33.000We just need to get back to the basics.
00:06:38.000You know, when you pick up a bag of spinach in a grocery store, the macros have been updated, the protein, the carbohydrate, the saturated fat, all of that.
00:06:50.000But very often, the mineral content on that label is borrowed from a 1945 soil lineage study.
00:06:56.000Which means that those micros very often haven't been updated for half a century.
00:07:01.000Well, half a century ago the soil was much different than it is now.
00:07:09.000It's not going to be found in some expensive, rare nicotinamide mononucleotide, you know, NAD therapy, some rare organism that somebody has discovered in the Amazon jungle.
00:07:19.000It's going to be found in the basics that is all around us that God gave us.
00:07:59.000Because you've got secret service here.
00:08:00.000So let's kind of get down to the basics.
00:08:03.000If you were to say, hey, someone says, I'm chronically obese, I'm overweight, I'm depressed, I'm anxious, I'm suicidal.
00:08:07.000Before they do anything, what are the top five things where you say, you got to get these five things figured out?
00:08:12.000Sunlight exposure, vitamin D levels, what you are eating, you know, make sure that you're limiting the bad carbohydrates, maximizing good fats and lean proteins.
00:08:19.000You know, what are the five things if you were to say, hey, this is a rubric before you go see an expert, before you go spend a bunch of money that every American should look at and say, I need to try to do better in these five things.
00:08:28.000Number one would be make being selfish non-negotiable.
00:08:32.000And by that I mean that very often people believe that putting themselves first is very selfish and it's actually the most selfless thing that you can do.
00:08:40.000This is especially true with young mothers and fathers.
00:08:43.000You know, we have a tendency to put our families and our careers and our spouses and, you know, our employees and our partners and the rest of the world first.
00:08:50.000And so we don't take time for self-care.
00:08:52.000And if we take time for self-care, we increase the capacity to care for others.
00:08:56.000So by that I mean that you should develop a non-negotiable morning routine.
00:09:00.000And you should always have 30 to 90 minutes of the day that belongs solely to you.
00:09:05.000My wife knows that the first 90 minutes of every day belongs only to me.
00:09:48.000It's full of chlorine, fluoride, and all kinds of other things, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, what have you.
00:09:52.000The next thing I would do is I would start where you are and don't think too far into the future.
00:09:57.000I have a very good friend named Ed Milet and he said as a kid, his father was an alcoholic and he said every day from the time he was 10 until he was about 18 years old, he would ask his father the same question.
00:10:08.000He would say, Dad, are you ever going to drink again?
00:10:10.000And he said, I don't know, son, but I know I'm not going to drink for one more day.
00:10:15.000And I think it's a very profound way of saying that sometimes when we get so far from where we thought we would be health wise, we think it's too insurmountable to make a change.
00:10:24.000All you have to think about is the day that's right in front of you.
00:10:27.000Walking, I will tell you, is the most underrated exercise in the world.
00:10:51.000The second thing that I would do is I would make morning exercise and self-care non-negotiable.
00:10:58.000The third thing I would do is I would start getting used to being uncomfortable.
00:11:01.000Aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort.
00:11:05.000The more aggressively we pursue comfort, the faster we age.
00:11:08.000We've got to stop telling grandmother not to go outside, it's too hot, not to go outside, it's too cold, just to lay down, just to rest, to eat at the very first pang of hunger.
00:11:17.000This is destroying her natural defense mechanisms, and it's the same with everybody in this room.
00:11:21.000If you don't load a bone, it will not strengthen.
00:11:24.000If you don't tear a muscle, it will not grow.
00:11:26.000And if you don't challenge the immune system, it weakens.
00:11:30.000You see, coming out of the pandemic, the worst thing we ever did was social distancing, residential quarantining, and masking.
00:11:36.000What you're seeing is the global weakening of the immune system.
00:12:27.000So Bobby Kennedy, Dr. Oz, Marty McCary, and Jay Bhattacharya, this kind of team of Maha, you looking at the outside as someone who really wants to see the country become healthy again, what are you hoping they can do from a policy standpoint?
00:12:46.000What do you want to see them do that would make your job easier, you know the space so well, that the government can do to actually release the health potential of the nation?
00:12:53.000Okay, I'm going to tell you, but then I am going to disappear before I make it back to my hotel room.
00:12:58.000So I want you all to open an investigation.
00:14:44.000Into my office and YouTube did, and that was exactly what it said.
00:14:47.000So we could stop the direct advertising to consumers to stop the control of the media.
00:14:52.000You know, I think the other thing that we could do is we could prohibit our Food and Drug Administration and our Centers for Disease Control powers to be from going into the private industries that they regulate.
00:15:06.000If you are a senior regulator and you regulate an industry and you're responsible for enforcing regulations in the best interest of public policy and the country, and then you go directly into that private enterprise, but you know that you're moving into that private enterprise long before you depart that portion of your career, how does anyone not look at that as a conflict?
00:15:32.000And I think the final thing that we could do is make our public policies and our public nutritional research institutions truly independent.
00:15:39.000They should be funded by the taxpayer for the taxpayer.
00:15:44.000They shouldn't be funded by private industry.
00:15:46.000What we've done in this country is we have privatized profits and we have socialized the expense.
00:15:52.000So the expense goes onto Medicaid, Medicare, and onto the taxpayer, and the profits go into private industry.
00:15:57.000That same private industry funds 72 to 74 percent of our nutritional research.
00:16:02.000Again, this is how we get Lucky Charms being more nutritious than grass-fed steak.
00:16:05.000This is how you pull physical education out of the public school system.
00:16:09.000This is how you say that the 67 percent of highly processed food that we feed our children is not toxic and is inconclusive as to whether or not it has an effect on their cellular biology.
00:16:20.000And yet we have the highest rates of childhood cancer in recorded history.
00:16:25.000Yeah, I mean, I graduated high school, I'm dating myself right here, but I graduated high school in 1988. Not only did I not know an autistic person, I didn't know someone who knew an autistic person.
00:16:37.000And, you know, I also have a 16-year-old daughter, and she knows at least 10 children, or siblings of her friends.
00:16:47.000So she could name 10 people off the top of her head.
00:16:50.000I believe that autism rates, don't quote me on this, but they've gone from roughly 1 in 5,000 to about 1 in 35 the last time that I saw the...
00:17:06.000Right, what could be causing neuroinflammatory conditions?
00:17:08.000Well, I mean, first of all, when we vaccinate against statistically insignificant risks, we could start there by, you know, taking a baby out of the womb and vaccinating them for things like...
00:17:16.000Hepatitis B, yeah, the high risk of getting that.
00:17:19.000Yeah, sexually transmitted and intravenous drug use, unless the mother was positive, which obviously you know.
00:17:25.000That's why they put in those guidelines originally, but then you test the baby in utero whether or not the mom has hepatitis B. Exactly.
00:17:32.000Comes back negative, and they still vaccinate against hepatitis B. Yeah.
00:17:35.000So those are areas that I think that we could start, right?
00:17:38.000If our research institutions were truly independent, as they should be, because I think the public believes that they are.
00:17:45.000They look at the National Institute of Health, the National Library of Medicine, the Centers for Disease Control, the Food and Drug Administration, and they say, those guys are here to protect us.
00:17:53.000They're standing between us And the wrongdoers that might not care about our cellular biology, right?
00:18:01.000And now if you look at the food that we allow into the public school systems, it's worse than prison food.
00:18:07.000If you look at the amount of sunlight young children get, it's worse than incarcerated prisoners.
00:18:12.000If you look at the amount of physical education and movement that they get, and we wonder why they have attention deficit disorder and autism and all kinds of learning disabilities.
00:18:21.000And then what we do is we take their little minds that are racing, And we say the solution to a racing mind, to a rapidly moving mind, is to put an amphetamine into their little bodies to race their central nervous system to match the pace of the mind.
00:18:35.000So let's take the system that's not broken, the central nervous system, and let's break it to match the system that is.
00:18:41.000It's like if you've got a flat tire and you just got out and slashed your other two tires.
00:19:08.000It's too many windows open at the same time.
00:19:11.000It's not that they lack the ability to pay attention.
00:19:13.000It's that they lack the ability to pay attention to so many things.
00:19:16.000So what we need to do is reduce the amount of things they're paying attention to or quiet the mind, which you can do with things like methylfolate, the complex of B vitamins.
00:19:25.000We feed them fortified or enriched foods.
00:19:28.000Fortified or enriched foods are just another label for sprayed with the chemical folic acid.
00:19:33.000So we take the entire grain supply in the United States, all flour, all rice, all bread, all pasta, and grains of any kind, by law, are sprayed with the chemical folic acid.
00:19:43.000Most of you think folic acid is a natural B vitamin.
00:19:53.000This is why if you've ever had pasta or bread in the United States and you blow up like a tick and then you go to Italy and eat a fat bowl of bread and bowl of pasta and you feel fine.
00:20:01.000If you've ever traveled overseas and actually eaten like that.
00:20:04.000That's because it doesn't contain the folic acid.
00:21:01.000That's the one they grab off the shelf.
00:21:03.000And you put this into the little bodies of children and that's why it's a full contact sport to get them in the car to go to school in the morning.
00:21:09.000And this goes with all kinds of other mental conditions.
00:21:12.000We don't have a mental health crisis in this country.
00:21:30.000No one's ever told you what anxiety is.
00:21:33.000If you ask 10 therapists and 5 doctors and him and most people in this room, what is anxiety, they will tell you that anxiety, they will describe the characteristics of it.
00:22:07.000In methylfolate, the complex of B vitamins, and a very specific form of B12 called methylcobalamin, if you're deficient in that, the catecholamines begin to rise in the brain.
00:22:16.000When catecholamines rise in the brain, you feel the presence of fear without a fear.
00:23:48.000I'm a human biologist, researcher, kind of biohacker.
00:23:51.000But what I will say about sunlight, and by the way, those are mainly done with aluminum because of its reflective nature, and that's why you see high amounts of aluminum in the atmosphere and high amounts of aluminum in our air quality.
00:24:06.000What I will just say quickly about sunlight is if you're worried about sunlight, just get sunlight in the first hour of the day.
00:24:13.000You can still raise your vitamin D3 level.
00:24:15.000You can look in the direction of the sun, reset your cortisol, reset your melatonin, and actually put yourself back on a good circadian rhythm.
00:24:37.000First of all, vaccines should fit the definition of a vaccine.
00:24:39.000It should prevent the infection and the spread.
00:24:43.000If you get the polio vaccine, you actually don't get polio, you don't spread polio.
00:24:47.000The second thing is it should be a true vaccine.
00:24:50.000True vaccines are actually what's called attenuated viruses.
00:24:52.000They are not messenger RNA. They are not synthetic copies of our DNA. If you actually were to go inside of a cell and go inside of the nucleus and you were to find the DNA, you'd find that that's the boss, the CEO, the head honcho.
00:25:57.000Those are gene therapies, so we don't know where they're going to go.
00:26:01.000If you go to my Instagram, which is just my first and last name, at Gary Brecka, I put links to what I think is the best vaccine advice from really, really well-credentialed MDs and PhDs for young parents that are looking to navigate that maze.
