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

    Not as good anymore
    The last few blogs and shows have been more about selling products, and solutions versus actually helping those that want to live healthier. The recent female bio-hacking with K. Barnes was pretty bad. It wasn’t helpful advice for any common woman at all. She is telling the listeners she has two saunas, hyperbaric chamber and does all of these labs tests, e.g. like the Total Toxic Burden test which runs an average of $999.00 which is NOT covered by typical insurance. What happened to the Brecka shows that use to promote both products and natural solutions with little to no cost? I think I’ll probably switch back to listening to Huberman Lab, he does a great job not filling his podcasts with expensive products. I’m starting to wonder if Brecka isn’t more of a promoter of the “next thing” vs an actual holistic helper. But, he was working for life insurance before this, so I guess this shouldn’t be surprising.

    Usually great
    The content of this podcast is usually very informative. The recent one with K. Barnes was not one of them. She was very extra and full of self promotion instead of just sharing helpful info. Even her voice…could not finish this one

    BEST
    Best podcast ! To all you haters here leaving reviews do your homework on 10X. He’s not involved anymore. Gary’s knowledge on bio hacking changed my life . I no longer have a thyroid issue and my body is absorbing nutrients again.

    Too much politics. This should be about health and not politics
  • BLKRK1
    Too Right
    Enjoyed Brecka when he came on to the scene and appreciated all the advice & interviews early on. Lately it’s been all Trumpism and politics.. could care less about left or right but I was here for the health benefits. Gary’s become like Rogan.. another puppet to Trump.

    Lost credibility with Lara “make America HATE again” Tr*mp. Garbage
    Thought you had some insightful information until you had to make America hate again on your podcast. Unfollowing unsubscribing
  • Oraclular
    Speak up!
    Gary - love your show. However, you have a habit of “talking under your breath”, which makes your volume lower than your guests. Maybe difficult to break that habit - I would suggest amping up your mic.

    Another Supplement Con Artist
    Do not order anything from the 10xhealthsystems.com website that this con artist promotes. They’ll take your money and ignore you from thereon. This guy is just another supplement slinging scam artist. You’ve been warned.

    Waste of time
    This is one of the health hustle guys that spends 20 minutes teasing you about his magic bit of info he could have said in the first 30 seconds. Was a big waste of my time.

    Great information, but PLEASE fix the audio.
    This podcast is loaded with great eye-opening information. I only ask you, Gary, to please invest a little money in a decent recording setup. Your podcast is the only one that I have to turn my volume way up to hear it. Thank you.
  • AnnaK346
    Cannot get enough of Gary!
    Incredible.
  • Miss Amelmahey
    Definition of Biohacker & Human Biologist???? What is your medical background?
    What are your credentials? Where did you study medicine?
  • Anbcooper
    Studies?
    This guy seems very well spoken and has a lot of confidence in his statements. Unfortunately, in the episode I listened to,(The bioavailability of meat) he doesn’t link any studies to back up his points, he just says “Studies Show” and then whatever his point is. Without linking the studies he’s referring to, it’s just more ‘everything you’ve been told is WRONG, but I have the answer’ kind of stuff. In this specific case I have seen at least 2 studies that directly contradict his statements, but whatever. Maybe his other shows actually list out the studies he’s referring to? Anyway, I’ll just delete this from my library and go on with my life.
  • Brekarized
    Great Shows
    Gary, these podcasts that I listen to on my walks have been great. Learning so much and you are sure to break down the science so even guys like myself know what you are talking about. Shows with Kristen Holmes- sleep consistency, Mink Chawla-new innos, Devon Levesque-real strength, and of course Dr Hyman on Ultra Processed Foods were uplifting, informative and help us all achieve our own Ultimate Human.

    THE BEST PODCAST AROUND!!?
    I highly encourage everyone to listen
  • 1LoveAll1
    I had to unfollow
    I like the content but it got to a point where I had to unfollow. He says “um” constantly that it made no sense and was hard to listen.
  • JJBurrow
    Anya n Coral
    Love all your content but the interview with your nieces is my absolute favorite. So awesome to hear kids so young be so on point. Obviously their parents plus their uncle and aunt are doing an awesome job
  • mjtbl
    Real Healthcare
    We need more people like Dr Brecka running the NIH FDA and CDC we need people who care about human healthcare NOT BIG PHARMA PROFITS
  • ATK_TX
    Highly Recommend
    I have been listening to Gary Brecka for six months now and have taken his diet advice to heart. Now my IBS is completely gone. I have also instituted a couple of his supplement suggestions- methylene blue and methylated b12. I feel great. I just wish Gary would learn the word palatable (pleasant to taste) rather than palpable (able to be touched or tasted). He talks about highly processed foods being “palpable” in multiple podcasts. I am surprised his producers haven’t called this out.
  • None174
    Episode 116 is the BEST!!!!💕💕💕💕
    I almost didn’t listen to this Podcast with Gary’s nieces, but it was AMAZING!!💕💕💕 They are the next generation of Ultimate Humans!💕💕 Thank you Anya and Coral!💕💕 You actually brought a tear to my eye and filled me with optimism for the next generation.💕🇺🇸💕
  • wmailman
    Hard to hear who he’s interviewing
    Gary is really bad about talking over the person he’s interviewing. A real shame because I’d love to hear what these people are saying, but can’t a lot of time.
  • Laura Hansen/Conifer Co.
    The Ultimate Human
    I am obsessed! I can’t get enough of these podcasts or any podcast Gary is in. Many I am listening to multiple times and have started taking notes to help the info sink in. What I love most is Gary is a teacher, not a preacher! And they way he delivers the information and his message, speaks to me! I feel blessed I have found him as my new health & wellness mentor!
  • NourishedMinds
    Daymond John
    Terrible of him to say about women “instead of having children and increasing population. What about your wife? Women were made to have babies and it’s such a sad a wicked viewpoint to see it the other way.
  • RoboColumbus
    Audio
    Something is wrong with all the audio on your podcast. All of the sound effects and your commercials are 10 times louder than the actual conversations. The volume on your conversations needs to be drastically turned up.
  • Pistol Packin Mama!
    Not my favorite
    Gary seems to be knowledgeable about the content but I feel like he thinks he’s smarter than he really is. In the end, I felt like he was just trying to sell me over priced supplements.
  • JordanOviler
    Amazing podcast
    Gary not only has some of the best guests, but he is amazing to listen to in general He gets on the right topics and asks the right questions. I love the new insights he brings into my world.

    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!

    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. We’ve never felt better in our lives! Gary’s knowledge and expertise he shares in is podcast is a GAME CHANGER! This bio hacker is changing the world, one human at a time.

    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!
  • Racing389
    Awesome knowledge being shared

    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.
