The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

Gary Brecka is a Human Biologist, biohacker, researcher, and an anti-aging and longevity expert. His approach to health is simple: "Aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort.”For over 20 years, he worked in the life insurance industry predicting mortality. This meant if he got 5 years of medical records and 5 years of demographic data on you, the team that he was associated with could tell a life insurance company how long you had to live to the month. After years and years of doing this type of research and analysis, he decided he wanted to spend the balance of his lifetime helping people live happier, healthier, longer, more fulfilling lives.With this mission in mind, he created The Ultimate Human podcast. In this weekly podcast, Gary has exciting conversations with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and scientists and is thrilled to share their transformative insights with you. What’s keeping you from being an ultimate human?

    SAVED MY SON’S LIFE FROM MENTAL ILLNESS
    After 8 long and miserable years of dealing with my young son’s severe bipolar disorder I, psychosis, and emerging borderline personality disorder; I was desperately seeking answers and support. I stumbled upon this podcast and figured “what the heck”… what have I got to lose.After all, I’ve tried every medication and psychotherapy on the planet for him. We’ve seen 20+ psychiatrists and they all have the same or similar diagnosis… what would hurt if we started him on premethylated vitamins and did an MTHFT and COMT gene test? Within TWO DAYS of his new vitamin regime I had my son back. Completely normal with no mental health issues. He is perfect. His Psychiatrist has since titrated him off of all of his antipsychotic medications and he just takes premethylated vitamins, magnesium glycinate, SAMe, and L-Methionine. Gary - you saved my son and I’s life from so many years of trauma, illness, hardship, and pain. I wish I could give you the biggest hug. Thank you for doing what so many doctors fail to do and really look to solve the root of the problem rather than treating symptoms. Because of what I’ve learned from you, I’ve decided to go back to college and get a second degree, but this time in Epigenetics. More people need to learn about this and be educated on the topic because this is the future of modern medicine. I’d love to connect with you if you have any interest in learning more about my son and I’s story (thanks to you!). I sent you a message on Instagram a while back just in case (@a_peachy_panda). THANK YOU AGAIN for saving our lives and giving us a future!

    Pseudoscience Garbage
    As a surgeon I can tell quickly when someone is a real doctor/scientist vs a hack/quack like Huberman. This garbage is some of the worst in the wellness bro cesspool of Podcastistan. As a general rule for people without a science degree/background, if anyone advertises AG1 (looking at you Lex Friedman and Joe Rogan) expect to listen to some nonsense.

    Unlocking Your Body’s Potential with Whoop CEO Will Ahmed
    Loved the drive and passion Will had to want to create this lifesaving device. Great interview Gary!!
  • FreePOORKing
    Very interesting but
    Every time he says he’s going to tell you a good brand it’s never in the links like the red light therapy panels he said he was going to add a few but only shows the 10x panels. Idk seems kinda disingenuous seeing as how they over charge for their items.
  • Btraudt416
    Love this podcast!!
    As a society, I feel like the younger generation is so much more in tune with their body and mind, and actively work towards being healthy. This podcast, while it does include ways to pay for certain hacks, also gives tips and pointers that do not cost anything - giving everyone the chance to learn and change if they want to. I wish I could afford a genetic test myself, but in the meantime I continue to listen to Gary’s expertise and experience on how to hack in the ways I can!!
  • binki barb
    Great Information, However…
    I really enjoy the human bio hacking space and the things that I have learned. Thank you for moving to more experts to interview. That being said, when doing the interview, especially with doctors, it would be nice if that expert was allowed to be the smartest person in the room in those moments. We all get that you’re very intelligent however it really is distracting when the person being interviewed is interrupted by an interjection that was completely unnecessary for the sole reason of proving that you are smart. Just let people finish and then add on and ask your next question.

    Praise Gar Brecka!
    I found out about Gary Brecka through the Joe Rogan Podcast. My husband and I purchased the genetic test and have been implementing changes in our diet and lifestyle Gary’s podcasts.

    Helping humanity with factual functional science
    Absolutely love listening to the ultimate human podcast! I personally have gone on my own health discovery journey and found Gary through instagram. I have been a follower for several years now. I love the no nonsense factual science tips Gary shares to help improve our lives. I’ve been doing the Breath work and cold showers along with elimination of enriched fortified foods plus introducing methylated b12 supplements. I truly have noticed a difference in my mood, focus, overall improved how I feel. I encourage anyone and everyone who reads this to give the ultimate human podcast a listen along with following on instagram. I love all the interesting health factoids and strategies Gary offers to continue helping better myself.
  • UKGirl_FLKeys
    Great podcast - very informative
    As a pharmacist, I can tell you that everything Gary Brecka says about how the body uses what is put into it is 100% accurate. The “food” we eat matters and sadly what most of us eat isn’t food anymore, it is chemicals. Gene mutations exist and our health is impacted when we are ingesting things we can’t metabolize, either even if we have no gene mutations or we do. Know your body and how to feed it. “It all starts with the soil”
  • magsrbrbab
    So much information
    Gary Brecka has changed my life and the way that I run my household. As a stay at home mom it is up to me to do the shopping and cooking and create routines. We now incorporate breath work, eat organically, and are doing our best to live a chemical free lifestyle. Keep the information coming please!

    Ultimate podcast!!! Well worth your time!!!
    The Utlimate Human podcast is THE ULTIMATE! I have been listening to Gary on Spotify since November 2023 and every minute listened has been worthwhile. He breaks down complex topics about our bodies and health in a way that is easy to understand and it becomes fascinating to learn about science! I trust Gary and all of his recommendations. The guests bring different perspectives that are helpful in making small changes to your everyday life that have a big impact! I give tips and advice to friends and family and always start out by saying “I was listening to my podcast the other day and Gary says…” Thank you Gary and Sage for taking a risk and devoting your life to helping others improve theirs. I am always eager to learn more from your podcasts. Keep up the insightful, honest work!
  • Fbpuke
    Digestible for everyone
    Gary speaks in terms everyone can understand while still sharing valuable truths we can all use. I have learned so much about myself and my family (husband+5kids). We have taken action and seen gains! Perhaps my favorite thing about Gary is that he is empowering people to take charge of their own health. And the most valuable information he shares is free or at a low cost because he really enjoys helping people.
  • Zoe Shereen

    Such a God Send
    Wow, what life changing information. I was bedridden for six months, plus battling autoimmune issues. I started with a simple cheek swab test, started taking the recommended supplements and other life-changing information through Gary's seminars and podcasts, along with a strong prayer life and faith, I began to see a difference in my energy and gut health in a few months. I addapted breath-work, standing in the dirt and getting some sun on my face again, once I coud sit. Thank you to Gary and his guests for bringing this enlightening information to our attention and breaking the mold of western medicine.

    Physical and Mental Health
    This is the first podcast I’ve listened to and I’m eager to listen to more. I appreciate the work and research being shared to help better educate. It’s no surprise there is a correlation between one’s physical health and mental health and the conversation in this episode truly points that out.

    Review on show/grounding & more
    I have become addicted to listening to this show ever since his interview with Joe Rogan. I listen to the ultimate human frequently & have taken notes on many episodes. I bought the Echo go plus, adopted grounding & breathwork, switched my toothpaste & food choices, & have spread the word about this show to many people. Thank you for the education- love the show!
  • LLMTO
    Great information!
    I love the topics and information shared, including the links allowing us to continue the learning!
  • mzhungry
    The answers I’ve prayed for…
    After following Gary Brecka and his work to improve my health and well being with different approaches then any of my Doctors have ever tried or discussed…and then I met Gary at an event, we were able to discuss specific focus areas that I have for my health improvement. 💫On this podcast, and focusing on this episode as one that really stands out for me, “Unlock Your Body's Healing: Autoimmune Issues, Lyme Disease & Cancer with Dr. David Minkoff”…his information is always conversational so you can understand the problem ares to focus on and improve, like your talking with an (educated) friend about it. And I always feel encouraged with HOPE from Gary that quality of life is continuing to come… 💫Also, i continue to add additional pieces of the health regimen like with my new Echo Go+ Hydrogen Water Bottle and the Body Health Perfect Aminos…
  • Lu.Ca90
    Knowledge is POWER!
    Love Gary and his team. I have come across Gary via Instagram, subscribed to his podcast and have been listening and taking in all of the incredible information ever since. I get educated while being entertained. The information is empowering and current. I listened to one of the more recent ones about women and unbalanced hormones and was blown away. So much information! Sent it out to friends and family as a must listen to. Thank you, Gary and team, to be able to share this knowledge with the world! God bless!
  • herbcarpson1
    Gold Nuggets!
    I love this podcast and the information Gary shares. So many small changes that have big results to living our best life. I believe I have a responsibility to do all I can do for my health and I trust God for the rest. He ultimately holds life in His hands. Thank you Gary for all the knowledge you share. God always #1 !

The episode’s clarity in explaining the subjective nature of most tinnitus cases sheds light on why this condition can be so challenging to treat and manage. By framing tinnitus not just as a symptom but as a window into the intricate operations of our auditory system, the podcast enriches listeners’ understanding and empowers them to look beyond conventional treatments. The production quality of the podcast ensures that the message is delivered clearly, allowing listeners to absorb the valuable information and insights without distraction.

It does more than just inform; it uplifts and inspires listeners to explore new avenues for treatment and management. Gary Brecka’s thoughtful approach and the podcast’s commitment to addressing such a pervasive issue with depth and compassion make it a must-listen.

    Beautiful Podcast!
    What sets "The Ultimate Human" podcast apart is its focus on holistic growth. Gary explores not only the traditional aspects of personal development, such as mindset and goal-setting, but also delves into areas like emotional intelligence, spirituality, and overall well-being. This multifaceted approach ensures that listeners receive a well-rounded understanding of what it means to become the best version of themselves.

    No gatekeeping!
    Gary shares his knowledge of health and gives you options that are FREE to you! No gatekeeping his knowledge of health to make a buck off of you! Are there options that make him a profit, yes, if you have the means then there are those options as well. I can’t give him enough praise for sharing what he knows with the rest of us and I truly believe his heart is in the right place. Wanting everyone to be as healthy as possible. I found Gary a few months ago and have participated in a few of his FREE challenges he has including the 3 day fast and the breath work challenge. This podcast shares not only his knowledge of the health of the human body but you can learn from other experts in the field and success stories from people who have followed his protocol to gain health!

    Gary Brekka is the Man
    I first heard about Gary Brekka on Joe rogan podcast. I instantly was hooked. I listened to the two hr podcast 3 times in a week, taking in so much information writing it all down and trying to apply it to my life. I am now taking methalfolate vitamins, and I drink amino proteins every single morning before a workout. Me and my 1 year old daughter wake up for first sun and walk around our yard and feed our chickens barefoot to get grounded and morning sun. I love the changes iv seen from just those few small things Gary has taught me. I’m dying to try hydrogen water. This podcast and man are life changing and I try and tell everyone about this and improving your life little by little.

    Simple Strategies for building muscle, aging with Dr. Lyon
    Amazing podcast! I’m almost 60 years old and have been working out with weights for the past 7 months after about a ten year hiatus. Listening to this podcast reaffirmed how I feel about myself right now. I feel stronger, happier with much more energy. I lost my father to Alzheimer’s and it was horrible to see. I’m going to go down fighting all the way, thanks!

    Best NEW Mainstream Way To Receive Your Health Advice and Facts!
    The Ultimate Human Podcast is by far the best new mainstream way to receive your health advice and facts from someone who is proven and back by his credentials and clients time and time again. I absolutely love this podcast because it continues to get better and better with every episode. Not to mention you can see the level of quality and professionalism Gary brings to every aspect of the podcast from the quality of the audio down to the quality of the video format, including his clips. Everything is just down right beautiful.
  • Austin in Louisville
    Great Information
    Gary always has wonderfully informing and mind blowing guests. Paul’s connection to events and marketing that changed the way we think about nutrition and has caused increased cardiovascular disease blew my mind. It’s so helpful to hear people talk about these things. My wife is more in line with this thinking than I was in the past. Gary’s podcast has helped me have better conversations with my wife.
  • JMac 8503
    Super helpful
    This podcast has really helped change my life as I adopt some of these insights.
  • mid life wake up
    Hope for the future me
    This all makes SO much sense! Doctors telling you nothing is wrong with you except in your head, and then your health just starts falling apart and they act like it’s your fault! I got my gene test back- waiting for my call! I want to do blood and hormones next. For the first time I feel like I am in control of my health! Listen to them all!

    The Ultimate Human water fasting
    As a mom of 2 girls , a police officer and Task Force Officer with DEA I was reluctant to complete this challenge over the weekend! I will admit it was hard but I completed the fast and I feel amazing! This Podcast has changed my life! I have always been a fitness fanatic and followed a strict diet but implementing new ideas from what I’m learning from Gary is fantastic!
  • JaxFactor4
    Best Podcast on Apple!
