00:00:21.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:24.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:28.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:29.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:30.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:00:47.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:15.000 Gary, great to meet you in person, man.

00:01:17.000 Great to meet you in person.

00:01:19.000 So I've been following you for a while.

00:01:20.000 You did Dan Bongino or vice versa.

00:01:22.000 Yeah, yeah, I did Dan Bongino's podcast.

00:01:24.000 And I was just like, I love the way this guy thinks.

00:01:26.000 You're all about creating the ultimate human through health, wellness, optimization.

00:01:32.000 Introduce yourself to the audience.

00:01:33.000 So my name is Gary Brecka.

00:01:35.000 I'm a human biologist, a biohacker, a researcher.

00:01:38.000 I spent about 22 years in the mortality space as a mortality researcher for large life insurance companies.

00:01:46.000 So 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.

00:01:57.000 And 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.

00:02:06.000 What became glaringly apparent to me after 20 years in that industry was two things.

00:02:11.000 Number one was that there were human beings on the other side of these spreadsheets.

00:02:16.000 So I began to recognize that it wasn't just data.

00:02:18.000 And 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.

00:02:32.000 Not just their lifespan, but their healthspan.

00:02:34.000 And 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.

00:02:45.000 And you've done an amazing job.

00:02:46.000 Thank you.

00:02:47.000 From Dana White to many others, they credit you with really optimizing their health.

00:02:52.000 And so this is very applicable.

00:02:54.000 I have a million different questions.

00:02:56.000 Fire away.

00:02:56.000 Maha is the kind of new movement here.

00:02:59.000 It is.

00:03:00.000 And you're a leader in that.

00:03:01.000 You're an advocate for it.

00:03:03.000 As 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?

00:03:13.000 You 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.

00:03:24.000 PhDs, MDs, researchers, biohackers, some of the most progressive minds in the field of longevity.

00:03:30.000 What's very fascinating to me is that we are coming full circle, and we're just getting back to the basics.

00:03:38.000 We'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.

00:03:52.000 And thank you.

00:03:55.000 And that's just a fact, right?

00:03:57.000 Touching the surface of the earth, breathwork, sunlight, getting reconnected to nature, sense of community, sense of purpose.

00:04:04.000 You know, it's really astounding if you look at Blue Zone research, you don't see continuity between diets, right?

00:04:09.000 So there's no dogmatic dieting that works.

00:04:13.000 It's not carnivore, keto, paleo, pescetarian, vegan, vegetarian, raw food.

00:04:16.000 It's none of those things.

00:04:17.000 It's whole foods.

00:04:18.000 Yes.

00:04:19.000 Eating whole foods will extend your lifespan.

00:04:22.000 Touching the surface of the earth will extend your lifespan.

00:04:25.000 Having a sense of community and a sense of purpose will extend your lifespan.

00:04:28.000 - Breath work.

00:04:29.000 - Breath work will extend your lifespan.

00:04:31.000 Now, 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.

00:04:47.000 Because 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.

00:05:04.000 And so the public doesn't stand a chance.

00:05:06.000 And 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.

00:05:18.000 And 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.

00:05:27.000 Maternal 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.

00:05:41.000 We lead the world in morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes, and multiple chronic disease in a single biome.

00:05:46.000 And the reason for that is we believe That the solution to nutritional deficiencies, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are chemicals, synthetics, and pharmaceuticals.

00:05:56.000 And we have sold the public a bill of lies that disease and pathology is genetically inherited, which it's not, right?

00:06:04.000 The 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.

00:06:17.000 I 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?

00:06:26.000 And you watch their face go blank because that gene doesn't exist, which means that those conditions do not exist.

00:06:33.000 We just need to get back to the basics.

00:06:35.000 Our soil is so depleted.

00:06:38.000 You 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.

00:06:50.000 But very often, the mineral content on that label is borrowed from a 1945 soil lineage study.

00:06:56.000 Which means that those micros very often haven't been updated for half a century.

00:07:01.000 Well, half a century ago the soil was much different than it is now.

00:07:05.000 And so my whole point is one of hope.

00:07:09.000 It'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.

00:07:19.000 It's going to be found in the basics that is all around us that God gave us.

00:07:24.000 And I love that.

00:07:26.000 So this movement is...

00:07:28.000 I don't know why I'm eating these.

00:07:29.000 What are these?

00:07:30.000 These are lozenges so I don't lose my voice.

00:07:33.000 So I just...

00:07:34.000 That's actually rude what I just...

00:07:35.000 That's okay.

00:07:35.000 You can do it.

00:07:36.000 These are lemon, acacia, echinacea, and ginger lozenges.

00:07:40.000 So that's very Maha.

00:07:42.000 It's very Maha. 0.86

00:07:45.000 My wife will tell you I actually have a problem with that.

00:07:47.000 You know, I actually will take things off her plate.

00:07:49.000 You want my phone?

00:07:50.000 And I almost just...

00:07:51.000 I'll work my way there.

00:07:52.000 I think maybe I'm like a classic klepto. 0.99

00:07:55.000 I don't know.

00:07:56.000 No, no.

00:07:57.000 I'm just going to put my hand over here.

00:07:58.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:07:59.000 No, it's okay.

00:07:59.000 Because you've got secret service here.

00:08:00.000 So let's kind of get down to the basics.

00:08:03.000 If you were to say, hey, someone says, I'm chronically obese, I'm overweight, I'm depressed, I'm anxious, I'm suicidal.

00:08:07.000 Before they do anything, what are the top five things where you say, you got to get these five things figured out?

00:08:12.000 Sunlight 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.

00:08:19.000 You 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.

00:08:28.000 Number one would be make being selfish non-negotiable.

00:08:32.000 And 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.

00:08:40.000 This is especially true with young mothers and fathers.

00:08:43.000 You 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.

00:08:50.000 And so we don't take time for self-care.

00:08:52.000 And if we take time for self-care, we increase the capacity to care for others.

00:08:56.000 So by that I mean that you should develop a non-negotiable morning routine.

00:09:00.000 And you should always have 30 to 90 minutes of the day that belongs solely to you.

00:09:05.000 My wife knows that the first 90 minutes of every day belongs only to me.

00:09:09.000 And what do I mean by that?

00:09:10.000 That is my time for self-care.

00:09:12.000 I wake up in the morning.

00:09:14.000 I hydrate.

00:09:14.000 I drink 10 ounces of water.

00:09:16.000 I add something called Baja Gold Sea Salt to it.

00:09:19.000 If you want my favorite life hack, it's called Baja Gold Sea Salt.

00:09:23.000 For 15 bucks, it'll last you five years, a bag of this salt.

00:09:26.000 We bought it from your podcast.

00:09:27.000 All 91 trace minerals are in there.

00:09:29.000 You put that in water, you hydrate and mineralize the body.

00:09:31.000 The second thing you do is you permanently get tap water out of your life.

00:09:35.000 Fluoride is not fluoride.

00:09:36.000 It's fluorosilicic acid.

00:09:37.000 It's the byproduct of phosphate fertilizer production, and we dump it into our municipal water supply.

00:09:42.000 If you go to the NIH, you'll see that fluoride is actually classified as a neurotoxin.

00:09:47.000 So stop drinking tap water.

00:09:48.000 It's full of chlorine, fluoride, and all kinds of other things, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, what have you.

00:09:52.000 The next thing I would do is I would start where you are and don't think too far into the future.

00:09:57.000 I 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.

00:10:08.000 He would say, Dad, are you ever going to drink again?

00:10:10.000 And he said, I don't know, son, but I know I'm not going to drink for one more day.

00:10:15.000 And 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.

00:10:24.000 All you have to think about is the day that's right in front of you.

00:10:27.000 Walking, I will tell you, is the most underrated exercise in the world.

00:10:31.000 It really is.

00:10:32.000 If you want to put walking on steroids, do it outside.

00:10:35.000 And if you really want to put it on steroids after that, add a weighted vest.

00:10:39.000 Just walking can change the trajectory of your life.

00:10:42.000 So the three things that I would do is I would try to get highly processed foods out of your diet.

00:10:48.000 I wouldn't be dogmatic about dieting.

00:10:49.000 I would eat whole foods.

00:10:51.000 The second thing that I would do is I would make morning exercise and self-care non-negotiable.

00:10:58.000 The third thing I would do is I would start getting used to being uncomfortable.

00:11:01.000 Aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort.

00:11:05.000 The more aggressively we pursue comfort, the faster we age.

00:11:08.000 We'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.

00:11:17.000 This is destroying her natural defense mechanisms, and it's the same with everybody in this room.

00:11:21.000 If you don't load a bone, it will not strengthen.

00:11:24.000 If you don't tear a muscle, it will not grow.

00:11:26.000 And if you don't challenge the immune system, it weakens.

00:11:30.000 You see, coming out of the pandemic, the worst thing we ever did was social distancing, residential quarantining, and masking.

00:11:36.000 What you're seeing is the global weakening of the immune system.

00:11:39.000 That's right.

00:11:39.000 Right?

00:11:40.000 So now what happens?

00:11:40.000 Monkeypox.

00:11:41.000 What the hell is that?

00:11:42.000 I mean, I never heard of monkeypox.

00:11:43.000 It's been around all the time, but nobody caught it because it was such a weak virus.

00:11:46.000 We never heard about it.

00:11:47.000 We're on our ninth iteration of Omicron.

00:11:49.000 Because we weakened the immune system.

00:11:52.000 You know what human beings are meant to do?

00:11:53.000 Exactly what you guys are doing right there.

00:11:55.000 Be in close proximity to other human beings.

00:11:58.000 Perfectly fine.

00:11:58.000 So walk in the park for your immune system.

00:12:01.000 And then I would begin to add small hormetic stresses.

00:12:04.000 By hormetic stresses, I mean weight-bearing exercise, directly linked to longevity, and I would add cold showers.

00:12:10.000 Get used to being uncomfortable.

00:12:12.000 Yes.

00:12:13.000 How many of you do cold showers?

00:12:14.000 Cold water works.

00:12:15.000 I love you guys!

00:12:16.000 And all those things you can do, by the way, for free.

00:12:19.000 It doesn't require signing up for stuff or anything.

00:12:23.000 I have no e-book to sell you.

00:12:25.000 Act of the will.

00:12:27.000 So 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?

00:12:41.000 And it's not political stuff, right?

00:12:42.000 We have our own political opinions, whatever.

00:12:43.000 It's fine.

00:12:44.000 This is way bigger than politics.

00:12:46.000 What 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?

00:12:53.000 Okay, I'm going to tell you, but then I am going to disappear before I make it back to my hotel room.

00:12:58.000 So I want you all to open an investigation.

00:13:00.000 Didn't hang myself on a bed sheet.

00:13:01.000 I'm very happy.

00:13:03.000 Great marriage with my wife.

00:13:05.000 God, he was so happy.

00:13:08.000 So here's what I think we could do from a public policy perspective.

00:13:13.000 Number one, by executive order, we could actually prohibit pharmaceutical companies from advertising directly to the consumer.

00:13:19.000 Now, can that be done by executive order?

00:13:22.000 It can be done by executive order.

00:13:23.000 My understanding is it can be done by executive order.

00:13:24.000 No, I have heard that before.

00:13:26.000 New Zealand and America are the only countries that allow it.

00:13:28.000 Because the only two that allow it.

00:13:29.000 And it is the worst return on investment of any marketing spend on planet Earth.

00:13:33.000 So why do they do it?

00:13:34.000 So they can control the media, right?

00:13:35.000 I mean, if you're 74% of the operating budget of a media outlet, they're not going to turn on you, right?

00:13:41.000 So it doesn't matter what the return on investment is.

00:13:43.000 It's not that you want people to learn the Ozempic jingle.

00:13:46.000 It's that you want to be...

00:13:49.000 And they don't even try in the ads either.

00:13:51.000 I mean, it's just like B-roll of some random person.

00:13:53.000 It's not even the B-roll.

00:13:54.000 Like, do you ever actually listen to some of them?

00:13:56.000 No, I know.

00:13:57.000 It's really sick.

00:13:57.000 What was the one I had to look up on YouTube the other day?

00:13:59.000 Because they were going through...

00:14:01.000 It's always like grandfather pushing his daughter on the swing.

00:14:03.000 I know.

00:14:04.000 Liver failure, blindness, occasionally death.

00:14:07.000 Yeah.

00:14:08.000 My favorite one.

00:14:09.000 I'm going to look this up and give it to you in the show notes.

00:14:11.000 And they said, contact your physician immediately if you experience a sudden loss of consciousness.

00:14:18.000 Can you just...

00:14:19.000 I was like, did they act?

00:14:21.000 There's no way.

00:14:21.000 I was sitting on the couch.

00:14:22.000 I grabbed my wife.

00:14:23.000 I went to YouTube.

00:14:24.000 And it was like, they didn't say call your doctor if you lose consciousness.

00:14:28.000 And they did.

00:14:29.000 But how do you call your doctor if you're unconscious, too?

00:14:33.000 Well, just so...

00:14:34.000 Hey, if you didn't call the doctor, that's on you.

00:14:35.000 No, I told you to call the doctor.

00:14:37.000 You're passed out.

00:14:38.000 How do you call your doctor?

00:14:39.000 That's what I said.

00:14:40.000 I was like, there's no way...

00:14:42.000 That's exactly what it said.

00:14:43.000 I ran to the...

00:14:44.000 Into my office and YouTube did, and that was exactly what it said.

00:14:47.000 So we could stop the direct advertising to consumers to stop the control of the media.

00:14:52.000 You 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.

00:15:06.000 If 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?

00:15:32.000 And I think the final thing that we could do is make our public policies and our public nutritional research institutions truly independent.

00:15:39.000 They should be funded by the taxpayer for the taxpayer.

00:15:44.000 They shouldn't be funded by private industry.

00:15:46.000 What we've done in this country is we have privatized profits and we have socialized the expense.

00:15:51.000 Yeah.

00:15:52.000 The expense.

00:15:52.000 So the expense goes onto Medicaid, Medicare, and onto the taxpayer, and the profits go into private industry.

00:15:57.000 That same private industry funds 72 to 74 percent of our nutritional research.

00:16:02.000 Again, this is how we get Lucky Charms being more nutritious than grass-fed steak.

00:16:05.000 This is how you pull physical education out of the public school system.

00:16:09.000 This 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.

00:16:20.000 And yet we have the highest rates of childhood cancer in recorded history.

00:16:23.000 And autism.

00:16:24.000 And autism.

00:16:25.000 Yeah, 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.

00:16:37.000 And, you know, I also have a 16-year-old daughter, and she knows at least 10 children, or siblings of her friends.

00:16:47.000 So she could name 10 people off the top of her head.

00:16:50.000 I 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...

00:16:57.000 It's even lower now.

00:16:58.000 It's 1 in 28 now.

00:16:59.000 Okay, 1 in 28. It's insane.

00:17:00.000 2006 was the last time I saw the statistic.

00:17:03.000 And what is autism?

00:17:04.000 It's a neuroinflammatory condition.

00:17:06.000 Right, what could be causing neuroinflammatory conditions?

00:17:08.000 Well, 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...

00:17:16.000 Hepatitis B, yeah, the high risk of getting that.

00:17:19.000 Yeah, sexually transmitted and intravenous drug use, unless the mother was positive, which obviously you know.

00:17:25.000 That'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.

00:17:32.000 Comes back negative, and they still vaccinate against hepatitis B. Yeah.

00:17:35.000 So those are areas that I think that we could start, right?

00:17:38.000 If our research institutions were truly independent, as they should be, because I think the public believes that they are.

00:17:45.000 They 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.

00:17:53.000 They're standing between us And the wrongdoers that might not care about our cellular biology, right?

00:18:01.000 And now if you look at the food that we allow into the public school systems, it's worse than prison food.

00:18:07.000 If you look at the amount of sunlight young children get, it's worse than incarcerated prisoners.

00:18:12.000 If 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.

00:18:21.000 And 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.

00:18:35.000 So let's take the system that's not broken, the central nervous system, and let's break it to match the system that is.

00:18:41.000 It's like if you've got a flat tire and you just got out and slashed your other two tires.

00:18:46.000 Well, you created equilibrium, right?

00:18:48.000 That worked.

00:18:49.000 All right, now everything's the same.

00:18:50.000 We're good.

00:18:50.000 And so, which, by the way, that's, you know, Vyvanse, Ritalin, Adelaral.

00:18:56.000 These are amphetamines, right?

00:18:57.000 And they affect the neuroplasticity of our children's brains.

00:19:01.000 You know, whereas most of the time when children have attention deficit disorder, it's not an attention deficit at all.

00:19:06.000 It's an attention overload disorder.

00:19:08.000 It's too many windows open at the same time.

00:19:11.000 It's not that they lack the ability to pay attention.

00:19:13.000 It's that they lack the ability to pay attention to so many things.

00:19:16.000 So 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.

00:19:24.000 But what do we do?

00:19:25.000 We feed them fortified or enriched foods.

00:19:28.000 Fortified or enriched foods are just another label for sprayed with the chemical folic acid.

00:19:33.000 So 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.

00:19:43.000 Most of you think folic acid is a natural B vitamin.

00:19:45.000 It's not.

00:19:46.000 It does not occur anywhere naturally in nature.

00:19:48.000 You cannot find folic acid anywhere on the surface of the earth.

00:19:51.000 We make it in a laboratory.

00:19:53.000 This 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.

00:20:01.000 If you've ever traveled overseas and actually eaten like that.

00:20:04.000 That's because it doesn't contain the folic acid.

00:20:06.000 It doesn't contain the seed oils.

00:20:08.000 44% of the world's population has a gene mutation that does not allow them to process folic acid.

00:20:13.000 Is that the MF gene, or is that a different one? 0.98

00:20:16.000 Well, it's MTHFR, but it doesn't stand for the motherfucker gene, Charlie. 0.99

00:20:21.000 I mean, that's really... 0.98

00:20:22.000 It stands for methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase.

00:20:25.000 That's literally the acronym MTFR. It is MTHFR, so its nickname is the MF gene.

00:20:31.000 But it stands for methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase.

00:20:32.000 I wasn't making it up.

00:20:33.000 It's a real thing.

00:20:34.000 Yeah, I know.

00:20:35.000 And you don't need to know that.

00:20:36.000 I just want you guys to know I'm smart.

00:20:38.000 But...

00:20:40.000 So this gene mutation doesn't allow us to process folic acid.

00:20:43.000 That doesn't sound like a big deal until you realize folic acid is the most prevalent nutrient in the human diet.

00:20:47.000 Why?

00:20:48.000 Because we force it into our grain supply.

00:20:51.000 But we don't call it sprayed with folic acid.

00:20:53.000 We call it fortified or enriched.

00:20:55.000 So now moms and dads are walking down the cereal aisle and there's two boxes of cereal.

00:20:58.000 One says it's fortified or enriched.

00:21:01.000 That's the one they grab off the shelf.

00:21:03.000 And 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.

00:21:09.000 And this goes with all kinds of other mental conditions.

00:21:12.000 We don't have a mental health crisis in this country.

00:21:14.000 We have a lack of mental fitness.

00:21:17.000 We are nutrient deficient and when we get nutrient deficient we get the expression of disease.

00:21:23.000 How many people in this audience right now have either suffered from or know somebody who's suffered from anxiety?

00:21:29.000 That's like 60% of the audience.

00:21:30.000 No one's ever told you what anxiety is.

00:21:33.000 If 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.

00:21:40.000 It's inflammation.

00:21:42.000 It is a neural inflammation, but anxiety is a rise in four neurotransmitters called catecholamines.

00:21:48.000 They're fight or flight neurotransmitters.

00:21:50.000 If I injected any one of you with these four neurotransmitters, you would instantly begin to have a panic-like feeling.

00:21:56.000 Your pupils would dilate, your heart rate would increase, your extremities would flood with blood.

00:22:00.000 Only the difference is, you don't need the presence of a fear for these to rise.

00:22:05.000 You need a deficiency.

00:22:07.000 In 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.

00:22:16.000 When catecholamines rise in the brain, you feel the presence of fear without a fear.

00:22:20.000 That's what anxiety is.

00:22:22.000 So why are we not going after the nutritional deficiency in a lot of these patients and we put them into behavioral therapies?

00:22:29.000 The same thing we do with antidepressants.

00:22:32.000 I have so many clients that have come to see me and I'm like, how long have you been on antidepressants?

00:22:35.000 They say 15 years, 18 years.

00:22:37.000 My first question is always, when did you think it was going to kick in?

00:22:40.000 Right?

00:22:42.000 Yep.

00:22:43.000 So, you know, again, I truly believe so much more in what God gave us than what man makes us.

00:22:50.000 And I believe that if we got back to the basics, Community, whole foods, sunlight, grounding, breath work, focusing on sleep.

00:22:59.000 By the way, if you're not sleeping, nothing else is going well in your life.

00:23:02.000 You cannot supplement your way around poor sleep, right?

00:23:04.000 You can't exercise your way around a poor diet.

00:23:08.000 And so the majority of this, we could take back control of our country.

00:23:12.000 Let's go really quick.

00:23:13.000 No, it's okay.

00:23:14.000 No, no, it's amazing.

00:23:14.000 I just have to go get to the signing because people are already lining up.

00:23:17.000 So let's get to two questions really quick.

00:23:19.000 Daisy, can we do that?

00:23:20.000 Really quick.

00:23:20.000 And then, Gary, if you're game, maybe you want to stay around for a couple minutes and just say hi to folks.

00:23:24.000 I know you got it.

00:23:24.000 Yeah, sure.

00:23:25.000 I'd be happy to say hi.

00:23:27.000 Daisy?

00:23:27.000 Emma, yeah.

00:23:28.000 Yes, my name is Tom.

00:23:30.000 I have a question about sunlight.

00:23:32.000 When are we going to stop geoengineering?

00:23:34.000 Say what?

00:23:35.000 When are we going to stop geoengineering?

00:23:37.000 Yes.

00:23:38.000 When are we going to stop?

00:23:39.000 Chemtrail.

00:23:40.000 Oh, chemtrail.

00:23:41.000 Well, that's the generic term.

00:23:43.000 The real term is geoengineering.

00:23:45.000 So that's outside my core competency.

00:23:48.000 I'm a human biologist, researcher, kind of biohacker.

00:23:51.000 But 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.

00:24:06.000 What I will just say quickly about sunlight is if you're worried about sunlight, just get sunlight in the first hour of the day.

00:24:10.000 There's no UVA. There's no UVB rays.

00:24:12.000 There's just beautiful blue light.

00:24:13.000 You can still raise your vitamin D3 level.

00:24:15.000 You can look in the direction of the sun, reset your cortisol, reset your melatonin, and actually put yourself back on a good circadian rhythm.

00:24:22.000 Last question here.

00:24:22.000 Last question.

00:24:23.000 Hello, sir.

00:24:24.000 I'm 20 years old and I hope to have a lot of children one day.

00:24:26.000 I want to know your thoughts on vaccines for children in child health care.

00:24:31.000 How can I best prepare and what things that I should do and should not do?

00:24:35.000 So here's my view on vaccines.

00:24:37.000 First of all, vaccines should fit the definition of a vaccine.

00:24:39.000 It should prevent the infection and the spread.

00:24:43.000 If you get the polio vaccine, you actually don't get polio, you don't spread polio.

00:24:47.000 The second thing is it should be a true vaccine.

00:24:50.000 True vaccines are actually what's called attenuated viruses.

00:24:52.000 They 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.

00:25:04.000 It does two things.

00:25:05.000 One, it makes a perfect copy of itself.

00:25:07.000 That's called replication.

00:25:09.000 The other thing it does is it runs the show.

00:25:11.000 It writes messages into the cell to tell the cell what to do.

00:25:14.000 So if we were the DNA and you were the cell minions, we would be sending messages into this crowd to go tell you guys to do stuff.

00:25:20.000 That message is called mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid.

00:25:25.000 What they did was they hijacked the CEO's notepad.

00:25:29.000 And they wrote a synthetic message into the cell.

00:25:32.000 The only problem with synthetic messaging versus organic messaging is that organic messaging degrades.

00:25:37.000 Synthetic messaging stays.

00:25:39.000 So now I tell you to go make the spike protein.

00:25:41.000 You get back to your desk.

00:25:42.000 It says make the spike protein.

00:25:43.000 You come back to your desk.

00:25:44.000 It says make the spike protein.

00:25:45.000 You come back to your desk.

00:25:46.000 It says make the spike protein, whereas an organic message wouldn't do that.

00:25:49.000 So those are not vaccines, in my opinion.

00:25:52.000 And I'm not a physician.

00:25:53.000 I'm not licensed to practice medicine.

00:25:54.000 I should disclose that.

00:25:56.000 Those are gene experiments, right?

00:25:57.000 Those are gene therapies, so we don't know where they're going to go.

00:26:01.000 If 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.

00:26:18.000 Thank you.

00:26:18.000 Gary Bracco, thank you so much, man.

00:26:20.000 Thank you, guys.

00:26:23.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
