About this listen

 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? Tune in to find out. For more info on Gary, click here: https://link.me/garybrecka Hygiene & Healthy Living

    176. Why Your Eczema Isn’t Just Skin Deep...Here’s the REAL Cause!
    Jun 19 2025
    What if I told you that every time you slather steroid cream on eczema, you’re essentially putting a band-aid on a house fire burning in your gut? Nearly 80% of your immune system lives in your gut, and when that ecosystem gets disrupted, your skin becomes the battlefield. In this short episode, I’ll go through the solutions that can help support histamine metabolism and address the root nutritional deficiencies, which can be effective for treating eczema. Remember: Your skin is a reflection of what’s happening inside your digestive system. Ready to take back control of your cellular biology?

    174. Dr. Mehmet Oz: The BIG Problem with America's Healthcare System Nobody Talks About
    Jun 12 2025
    What if I told you that America spends twice as much on healthcare as any other developed country, yet our life expectancy keeps declining? In this conversation with Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator of CMS, I explore why we're getting sicker despite spending more. Dr. Oz reveals alarming childhood obesity statistics, how loneliness drives healthcare costs, and why one in four children are pre-diabetic. This exposes the fundamental disconnect between healthcare spending and actual health outcomes every American needs to understand! Ready to take back control of your cellular biology?
