AI Biohacking Breakthroughs: Transform Your Health with Gary Brecka's Top Strategies | EP #149

26:21We call it fortified or enriched. Yes. So fortified or enriched foods are sprayed with chemical folic acid. So what happens if you put fortified or enriched foods into the body of somebody who can't process it? Well, now they go nuts. So if you look at history of postpartum depression, which for the record can begin during pregnancy, most of the women that get postpartum depression have the MTHF or gene mutation. They're told by their doctor to take high doses of folic acid, 1 ,500 to 1 ,800 percent of the daily allowance. To overcome the fact that they're not methylated. And yes, and this makes it worse.

26:58Yes. And now all of a sudden, because I haven't seen any RCTs, randomized clinical trials, linking elevated levels of pregnancy hormones to postpartum depression, but we will still blame pregnancy on postpartum depression. And we should be blaming it on the high ingestion of folic acid. Now if we gave those women methylfolate, if they took a methylated prenatal vitamin, their incidence of postpartum depression would collapse. It's not the rise in estrogen, going from in the 400s during the normal menstrual cycle to going in the 4 ,000s like you see when they get pregnant. That's perfectly normal if for estrogen to go up by 10 times, by wandering in the interstitial space while the uterine wall increases the laxity of the pelvic girdle, all those things that need to happen during pregnancy.

27:49But then you take 1 ,500 to 1 ,800 percent of the daily allowance of folic acid because your OBGYN tells you to do that. And then next thing, you know, you're going nuts, anxiety, anxiousness, depression, racing thoughts. I mean, there's so many people listening to this podcast right now that have that gene mutation, or they have a genetic mutation called Compatite, C -O -M -T, which is another bad one for women, women that have had hormone testing done. If they've ever had what I think is the gold standard of women's hormone testing, which is called a Dutch test. It's a multi -hour urine test.

28:22On that test, you will see this genetic mutation, compt, catechol, o -methyl transferase. And the reason why this particular gene of methylation is important is because it determines a number of things. It determines how rapidly or how slowly you break down catecholamines. And why that's important is that a rise in catecholamines is anxiety. Yes. There are so many people that are suffering from anxiety. And you hold on to it. And what the point is that no one's told them what it is. If you ask 15 practitioners what is anxiety they will describe the characteristics of that condition. It's a fear of the future, it's a sense of impending doom, it's a sense of fear without the presence of a fear.

29:09Well that's all of the things I'm feeling, what's causing it? And the majority of people that have anxiety cannot tell you. It's not like every time I step on a crowded elevator, and I'm claustrophobic, I have panic attack, or every time I walk to the edge of a 30th floor balcony, and I'm afraid of heights, I have a panic attack. These are people whose anxiety comes and goes seemingly without a trigger. I promise you, you should be investigating that gene, C -O -M -T, because you may be a slow to break down, to down -regulate these catacolomies, these fight -or -flight neurotransmitters. And as they rise, they do three things.

29:48Number one, they create a waking state. And so someone could be sitting having a podcast, just like you on I or right now in a very safe room with our friends right outside the door and just all of a sudden be kind of overwhelmed with anxiety. And now what they're gonna try to do is relate it to their outside environment. And maybe I'm afraid they're gonna try to And they're going to try to rationalize it by looking at a cluster of symptoms outside of their body. The truth is, if they understood that it's a rise in catacolamines, they could start to take methylated vitamins, the complex of B vitamins, methyl cobalamin, methylfolate, sometimes SEME, acid and so on, the thionine, over the counter vitamins and nutrients that would then allow them to begin to methylate these neurotransmitters and down -regulate them and calm that down.

30:38I mean, what I get so excited about is this knowledge, this is William Gibson who said, you know, the future is here, it's just not evenly distributed. And I think that, you know, all of this knowledge and cheers to the hydrogen water, take a sip of that. Here's a higher part for a million than mine now. I'll enjoy it. But I think what's fascinating is going to be, we're on the brink moment in time when all of this knowledge is knowable by anybody. Not because they happen to listen to this podcast or they happen to listen to, you know, the ultimate human work and media platform that you've built or your books or my books, it's because they've turned on their AI health system.

31:24I agree. And that system, I mean, when you're born, you have 3 .2 billion letters that guide your life for the... It's your software for the rest of your life unless you do a CRISPR therapy. That's right. Or gene therapy. It's there. And so that plus the, you know, I don't know, hundreds of subdermal and wearables that are being developed, will be able to know it any one moment in time, what is your physiological state, and how to optimize it. And so, you know, I've been having this argument recently, I think my sip of a hydro water here. By the way, I happen to agree with you. I think the greatest intersection for humanity is the intersection of artificial intelligence, big data, and early detection.

32:09And you know, specifically with respect to methylation, I mean, these are 300 billion

32:17independent metabolic transactions going on at any given moment. And AI can make sense out of it all. And when we meet sex on our own, cannot. Yeah, I've been having this debate with a number of, shall we say, more old school physician and scientists that are in the media right now saying, no, you will not make it to 120. No, we're not going to bend the health curve. And they're absolutely positive. And the equivalency for me is the individuals back in the 1890s saying no humans will never fly No, we'll never go to the stars. What was the right brothers? It said mankind will never fly from New York to Paris It was amazing.

33:03It was a great I recently did a podcast when Neil deGrasse Tyson and we were talking about 30 year increments of human technological progress and we're talking about the kitty hawk flight and then we'll be right goes You're not making it, you'll never make it to Paris. And the other thing that Neil said was, oh, by the way, the first real commercial aircraft was the Boeing 707 with conversion, it was the conversion, I think the KC 135. And the length of the... Oh, that's right, the wingspan. The wingspan, the 707 was greater than the length of the first Kitty Hawk flight, which is crazy. And we are living in a world where yes, our history does not necessarily project what our future is going to be.

33:52And my basic premise, Gary, is we are running billions of chemical reactions per second in 40 trillion cells in your human body. and we've never been able to understand that, but AI will enable us. And there is fundamentally a reason of why aging takes place. It's not this random thing. Why some people live to 120 and others are dead at 50, there's a reason. And we're gonna be able to understand that and begin to impact that. Right. And I think what AI is gonna do is, because we all know it's multifactorial. It's not just methylation. It's your detoxification pathways and your transulfuration pathways and how many you know micro toxins You're ingesting every single day, which we're doing a great job up here in the United States We actually just dropped to what 66th in the world and life expectancy on December 6th 66th in the world we're below some subsaharan That don't have clean water and sanitation and guess what we're number one in healthcare costs Healthcare spending yeah, yeah, healthcare spending and and we only really lead the world in seven things and it's morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes, multiple chronic disease, and a single biome.

35:05Proud to be in Merck. Infant mortality, maternal mortality, and what is it type? Yeah, type 2 diabetes, if I didn't mention that one. But it's astounding how much we spend in the outcomes that we're getting. But I do agree with you that aging is multifactorial. Methylation is absolutely a part of it. Whenever I speak to crowds of people are on stages, which is I'll put up this horrifically confusing chart of methylation. It literally looks like somebody took colored spaghetti and threw it against the wall. And it shows all of these intricate cellular processes. And the only reason why I show that chart is I tell people to look at it for a minute and I say, look at this chart.

35:47And this is what's going on inside of your cellular biology, 300 billion times every day. Well, every time we turn over roughly 300 billion cells a day. And this is happening 300 billion times a day. Now look at this chart and try to find a chemical, try to find a synthetic, try to find a pharmaceutical. You won't find any of those things. What you find on that chart are vitamins, minerals, amino acids, nutrients, and Lego blocks. Yes, and so when you start to deplete certain vitamins, minerals in amino acids, when you start to pluck them out of that chart, you can see that the system goes haywire.

36:26And so many people are suffering from what they think are the consequences of aging. Bring fog, wake in water retention, poor response to exercise, poor sleep, poor deep sleep, you know, all kinds of hormonal imbalance. And they think that these are just consequences of aging. They're not. They're consequences of missing raw material. It is astounding what happens to human beings when you just give their body the raw material it needs to do its job. In plant physiology we believe this. If anyone had a leaf rotting in a palm tree or a tree in their yard in a true botanist to true arborist came to their house, they wouldn't even touch the leaf.

37:03They would courtest the soil and they would say, what, Peter, there's no nitrogen in the soil. And then they would add that nutrient to the soil and the leaf would heal. Human beings are no different when we deprive the body of certain raw materials. People get diagnosed with mental illnesses because or mood disorders because they're low on serotonin. But serotonin is methylated from triptophan, which is a simple amino acid, and in order to methylate triptophan, the amino acid into serotonin, which happens in the gut, about 90 % of our serotonin in our bodies is in our gut. And if you don't have it here, you can't have it here.

37:36It travels up to the biggest nerve. But what happens in the gut is deficiencies in amino acids, and it deficiencies in the complex of B vitamins that cause this methylation process to occur to convert trip to fanned into serotonin or to convert phenylalanine and tyrosine into dopamine. And once you have the deficiencies in these neurotransmitters, now you can't assemble moods and emotional states that require these neurotransmitters. So you get told that you have a mood disorder, or you have a mental illness. And now you're down the bandwagon of chemicals or synthetics to reduce certain synaptic uptakes of neurotransmitters.

38:13When really you have deficiencies that are born out of a lack of nutrients. That's why I'm so fascinated by methylation. Yeah. And of course, methylation of our DNA is also how we control what genes are on and what genes are off. Yeah, it's also how we know that genes are not necessarily our destiny. You might be our predisposition. I love the slides. Let's turn to some of the fun toys in your bedroom and your incredible penthouse apartment. So this is a red light bed and there are a multitude of them and like you said this typical will run you 100k or so Talk about this. Um, so I'm a huge huge fan of red light therapy Let me also tell you listeners.

38:59You don't need to run out and spend a hundred grand on a red light bed You know you can Google around there are red light panels. There are red light panels There are smaller red light beds There are other ways to get red light. You can usually find a clinic in your area that will allow you to use these things on a membership basis or at the very least you can expose your skin to sunlight because we are very photovoltaic beings. You and I were just sitting here in Southern California and we were both outside like just soaking in the sun. Yeah, yeah, but we just did it just now. Exactly. And so I always say, what do you think?

39:34What do you normally, when someone says, hey, how often you're hanging out in red light bed, how long, and what does it do for you? Ten minutes a day, every day, seven days a week if I can. You know, I have it in a separate room in the house. And I have this sort of pattern that I go through. I wake up in the morning, I'm brushing my teeth, I splashed water on my face. What time do you wake up? Between six and six thirty, latest. He's usually trying to be up with, you know, first light. Yeah. So I really intentionally want about trying to get first light. In fact, we're out in LA now and we rented an Airbnb and I actually found a ladder behind the Airbnb.

40:11So I put it up over there. There are three roofs on this house and I put it up on the low roof and I climbed up on that and then got on the second one, they got on the third one and I did my breath work up there on the rooftop in the morning because it's nice and cool here. It's like in the high 40s. Yeah. So I just took my shirt off and did some breath work up there. but it's supposed to be your skin to sun light is, I don't want to say the poor man's red light, but it is the best way to get light therapy. But red light does a number of things. There are a number of therapeutic wavelengths. First of all, light can be very damaging or can be very therapeutic in the body.

40:47If you look at the light spectrum, starting with something like X -ray, which is light, these are very damaging. Moving to UVA, UVB, which are the damaging rays from the sun that caused skin cancer. And then there's a very narrow spectrum of light, very, very narrow spectrum of light, which is the visible light spectrum, the reds, the orange yellow, green, what is it blue into go and violet? Yes. So the roigee bib. Yeah, roigee bib. I remember that stuff from biology. That's how I was playing in my head. Yes. Roigee bib. And then after that, you can infrared and urine infrared. And what happens in these wavelengths from red to infrared and this near infrared is is that when these wavelengths of light pass through the body, one of the most powerful things that red light does is it goes into your mitochondria and it kicks out a gas called mitochondrial nitric oxide.

41:38And so it kicks out nitric oxide and it forces oxygen to dock. So there is a part of the creb cycle inside of the mitochondria where oxygen docks called cytochrome -seoxidase. And you wanna think of cytochrome -seoxidase as a one -arm man. He can either shake hands with nitric oxide or he can shake hands with oxygen, but he can't do both. If you can get cytochrome sioxidates to bind to oxygen, you can upstage the mitochondria. You can improve its production of dynastine triphosphate at the ATP. We know that aerobic respiration yields 36 ATP. We know that anaerobic respiration yields 2 ATP. So an ATP is what really powers human beings.

42:18Taking me back to seventh grade and to medical school. It's all about the mitochondria. So not to get overcomplicated, but what red light will do is it will kick out this gas and force oxygen to dock. So that is already a battery charger for your cellular biology. It literally charges you up like a battery. We also know that certain wavelengths of red light are, these are mostly the visible spectrum of light because they're very superficial or excellent for collagen, for the last in, for fiber in. It also, back to the vasomotor circulation and vasomotion. It has a positive impact on both vasomotor and vasomotion.

42:58And there are numerous clinical studies in the public literature on PubMed, and I'll have my team link them here on the improvement of eyesight because it improves microvascular circulation to the back of the eye. There are several cataract studies involving... So when you're in a red light bed, do you need to shield your eyes or are you okay? No, I need my eyes open. Geez, you got, these red light beds will have all four and sometimes five wavelengths. I use one called luma pod pro. It's got 45 ,000 light diodes. It has five wavelengths of light, a typical sessions, 10 minutes. You could do it for 20 minutes.

43:40And you're not only improving collagen, lestin, fiber, and in your skin, you're improving microvascular circulation, you're reducing inflammation, you're charging up your mitochondria. I mean, I think that and the hydrogen nanobath would be my two -go -tips. When I'm, so I use a red light panel because I'm also got a red light cap on my head, stimulating circulation and hair growth. I'm using a red light oral device as well. I've seen those, it looks like a tongue device. It basically is on my neuronic. No, it's not like this is impacting the pathogens in my mouth, right? I've gotten so focused on oral health.

44:26Yeah, right because people should know your mouth and the bacteria and other pathogens in your mouth are a capillary away from your brain. Yes, and not too many capillaries away from your heart. Yeah. It's interesting, some of the bacteria that create calcification, hydroxyapatite, we find in cavitations in the mouth, but we also find them in calcium in the heart. And I think most people think that these hard plaques, like our bones, are calcium in there, actually not. They're calcium combined with phosphorus, which is forming something called hydroxyapatite, very similar to what's on our teeth.

45:08And in order for that to form, you need something like an osteoblastic that creates bone or you need a bacteria that can combine calcium and phosphorus to form the cyroxyapatite, which you find in cavitations in your mouth. I'm a huge fan of seeing a quality biologic dentists if you've had a root canal. For sure. And getting that cleaned out. Testing your oral microbiome to understand, do you have any of the pathogens there that I'm actually waiting for a tooth right now and not to be gross, but yeah Exactly see that yeah, hmm waiting for it in what respect? Revolving it no, so I had a root canal here And I went to a biologic dentist named Dr.

45:51Jigar Gandhi Phenomenal biologic dentist far as I'm concerned. He's probably the best in the country I cracked a tooth one day in the back of my mouth on the other side and And I called him and I was, I mean, I hate the dentist. Yeah. I mean, who loves dentist? I'm honestly, sorry Dr. Gotti. But, and I called him and I said, you know, dude, I've got to come up and see you, man, I cracked this tooth in my mouth. And he goes, take a picture of it. And so I snap a picture of it. And he goes, oh, that's your 19th tooth meridian. He goes, do you ever get a left anterior shoulder pain? No, shit. And I get, I did a whole podcast with him.

46:30I was so fascinated by it because I'm pretty like woked like what's going on in the world. I watched everything goes in my mouth and read light. I'm drinking hydro. I'm doing all this stuff. And I go, you know, that's weird. I actually do get left in tears shoulder pain. I thought it was like a bicep tendonitis or something. It wasn't like enough for me to go to the urgent care or something. And then he said, do you ever get left lower, low lung pain? He was that specific. I go, dude, you are freaking me out. Whenever I do hits cardio, I have a catch right here in my rib. I just thought it was like a runner's, yeah, or something.

47:08And then he super freaked me out because he said, does your left toe ever go numb? No, come on. I right hand to God. And it didn't go numb, but it would tingle and itch. And my wife used to tease me because I would take my shoe off and I would itch my big toe and then I would put my shoe back on or I'd be talking to somebody and I would just tap it. Yes. and because it would feel like it was going numb. And he goes, yeah, that's your 19th tooth meridian. And he sent me this chart and it mapped to the meridian. And he's like, yeah, you had a root canal in that tooth. And I was like, I did actually.

47:38And he said, come up, we'll do this Cone B. Max Ray, we'll check for cavitation. So I went up and they did 360 X -ray. He actually found several of them. But two of those were in root canals. And I posted this on my Instagram because I was so fascinated by what he was able to predict by this meridian. And then when he took my tooth out, there was this little balloon on the bottom of the tooth. And it's getting gross. So if you're a question for the viewers, he took a back. I go, what is that? He goes, oh, that's a cavitation. That's a plus filled sack with bacteria and parasites. I said, no way.

48:13I have no pain. I have no symptoms. I have no inflammation. I have no gum bleeding and nothing. So he pops it, puts it on a slide and we dark field it in his office. And I posted this video. You could see my macrophages going after the parasites and going after the bacteria. I mean, I was horrified by it. And so he cleaned it all out. Ran, red light in there, put platelet rich fiber in. Yeah, let's just stop right here and tell people, the health of your mouth is so critically important, right? So you're 50, what now? 54. 54, I'm 63. And I wish I had started paying attention even earlier in my life.

48:51Yeah. It is people ignore it, they go to the dentist, because they have to, when they have it, you know, that's fine, but there is so much more that you could be doing in terms of, you know, using an electric toothbrush. I have actually have a device that I'm flossing. I actually have a device, I'm, it's called ProClaim. I don't know if you know this, you go in, your mouth gets scanned, and it's a mouthpiece that has a jet in between every single tooth. And so it is like high energy high speed water pick flossing in 30 seconds. You put this in your mouth. I love it. You put this in your mouth.

49:29You put this in your mouth. You know, you bite down like you would a mouth guard and like this whole container of water just gets pumped in through all of those and your mouth is cleansed. So I mean, it's amazing, right? And then there's another product They changed their name recently, which is a toothbrush with a very similar structure, but it's with all of these brushes that you basically Jump down on it and it brushes everything. So I mean, I remember on you Jeff Bezos 45 years ago and When he was purely a space kid that before Amazon and then he and I reconnected and I was talking to him about X -Pri as in space and and all and one day I said hey Is there any chance in common speak at this about this like 20 years ago?

50:18And he goes Peter, I'm so short on time. I'm trying to optimize my toothbrush time my toothbrush time And I said okay, I get that But this is what you're actually doing you're able to like you know take those yeah 15 minutes 10 minutes and make them much more efficient The technologies there More importantly going to a biological dentist to check out the floor and fire on your mouth highly recommended So then this tooth, which I'm waiting on, he also pulled this one, cleaned it out, red light, ozone gas, which is wild when they take the tooth out, it doesn't even bleed. And that's a bad sign. And so he runs the ozone gas and the red light and increases the perimeter of the hole until you get fresh red blood.

51:05And he packs your own platelet rich fibrin in there, your own platelets. And he puts the stitches at shot, the bone gross shot, and then he puts the, I believe it's a porcelain implant. I mean, it doesn't use any metal. And now I just got to go back up and have the tooth put on there. But I think he's one of the best things I ever did. And I just can't believe that that just flew by me. But he also uses red light. And then they full red light bed. But he uses those red light bed. He's about 13 years ago. I had my two kids, my two boys. and I remember at that moment in time, I made a decision to double down on my health.

51:41Without question, I wanted to see their kids, their grandkids, and really, during this extraordinary time where the space frontier and AI and crypto is all exploding, it was like the most exciting time ever to be alive. And I made a decision to double down on my health. And I've done that in three key areas. The first is going every year for a found upload. Founding is one of the most advanced diagnostics in therapeutics companies. I go there, upload myself, digitize myself about 200 gigabytes of data that the AI system is able to look at, to catch disease at inception. Look for any cardiovascular and cancer, neurodegenerative disease, any metabolic disease.

52:26These things are all going on all the time and you can prevent them if you can find them at inception. So super important. So found is one of my keys. I make it available to the CEOs of all my companies, my family members, because I help this in you wealth. But beyond that, we are a collection of 40 trillion human cells and another 100 trillion bacterial cells, fungi, a virus. And we don't understand how that impacts us. And so I use a company in a product called Viome. And Viome has a technology called Metatranscriptomics. It was actually developed in New Mexico, the same place where the nuclear bomb was developed, as a biodefense weapon.

53:12And their technology is able to help you understand what's going on in your body to understand which bacteria are producing, which proteins, and as a consequence of that, what foods are your super foods that are best feed -a -e? Or what food should you avoid? Right? What's going on in your oral microbiome? So I use their testing to understand my foods, understand my medicines, understand my supplements, and biome really helps me understand from a biological and data standpoint, what's best for me? And then finally, you know, feeling good, being intelligent, moving well is critical, but looking good when you look yourself in the mirror, saying, you know, I feel great about life.

53:57It's so important, right? And so a product I use every day twice a day is called one skin developed by four incredible PhD women that found this 10 amino acid peptide that's able to zap senile cells in your skin and really help you stay youthful in your looking appearance. So for me, these are three technologies I love and I use all the time. I'll have my team link to those in the show notes down below. Please check them out. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed that. Now back to the episode. Let's jump into Sona's. You know, I just bought a portable infrared Sona, which is, you know, the size of a chair that I can hop in.

54:43You zip it up. You zip it up. But I mean, this is a full I talked to me about your sauna practices. So sauna is one of the best ways to activate your detoxification pathways. If you talk to any functional medicine practitioner where they're trying to detox somebody from anything, mold, micotoxins, pathogens, bacteria, metals, and they will tell you that sauna and sweating both infrared and near infrared, I'm sorry, both infrared and dry sauna, has has to be a part of your regular routine. So I'll usually put a liter of fluid through myself after I get out of the sauna. I have a dry sauna. I actually have my parents who've been staying with me for several weeks.

55:31I met them. Yeah, you did. That's right. They're still staying with me. So Captain John Breka and Judy Breka, mom has bilateral knee replacements. And dad had a very bad boating accident years ago, which left him with hemiperalysis on one side of his body. So both of them are rather de -conditioned from a physical standpoint. And so I was following Dr. Otto Warberg's work in multi -step oxygen therapy or EWOT, exercise with oxygen therapy. And since it's difficult for them to get their heart rate up, I'll put both of them in the sauna and I'll run a nasal cannula sun to the door and they'll just breathe IPPM oxygen for about 20 minutes.

56:08And the difference in their cognitive function, even immediately after getting out of with Sonna, they would both tell you, is night and day. My mom's a chatterbox, and so is my dad. You just feel clear and clean, cognizant, awake. So my wife and I do Sonna regularly. And now - How long, how many days a week? 20 minutes, minimum three times a week. It's something we really like to do. It's right next to our bathroom. And so she and I will very often end the day in there together. And they'll get out of the sauna, and I'll do just a 20 or 30 second cold plunge. not a long cold plunge, but a 20 or 30 second cold plunge and I'll dry off.

56:48And, you know, that's proved to be quite a little sleep hack for me. I mean, people could do it with a contrast shower too, hot shower followed by cold shower, especially if you're one of those people that ruminates. If your environment quits and your mind wakes up and you have ruminating thoughts, or you just replay the day or you go through your grocery list and all of that, but sauna is excellent for detoxification. And steam room. So steam room is if you have to choose between sauna and steam room. If I had to choose between sauna and steam room, I would probably choose sauna and here's why.

57:19I think most commercial steam rooms are not filtering the municipal water when they bring it into the steam room. So you're vaporizing chlorine gas, fluoride gas, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, polyfluoral alcohols, these PFA's, which are very, very high in the municipal water supply and Miami. So, unless you are certain that they are running that through preferably like a forged stage reverse osmosis filter or some other type of micron filtration, which I do at the house, I don't trust a lot of steam rooms. So my preference is not to breathe vaporized fluoride and chlorine, but it can be even more effective at heating the body up than sauna.

58:00Remember, water is 29 times more thermogenic than air. Yes. And what you mean, but that is its ability to take away or provide heat. Yeah, that's right. Like you can die in 72 degree water. He could pass you. You can't you can't get hypothermia in 72 degree air, right? Your body can maintain the temperature gradient. So I have both steaming and and sauna, but I I actually use a reverse osmosis and charcoal filter. I saw it. I saw the closet. Yeah. And then I have another step down filter. I'll think I'm such a psycho. But and then that's a cold plunge. That's one of my favorites. Here's the thing about cold plunging.

58:34There's no evidence that I've seen that colder is better or longer is better. Three minutes minimum, six minutes maximum, 50 degrees Fahrenheit is plenty. You get a peripheral vasoconstriction, which drives all the blood into the core, liver, lungs, pancreas, kidneys, up to the brain. You also get a really interesting activation of brown fat, which is different than white fat. It exchanges a thermostat, you know, essentially exchanges a calorie for a measure of heat. So you mean to tell me that when I get cold, my body's going to use calories and turn it into heat? Yes, there is a cost to having your body temperature returned to normal.

59:12Let's not forget if you're in 50 -degree water, and you get out and you're in 70 -degree air, your body's still going back to 98 .6. So how does your body continue to raise your temperature? There's a cost to that. It's not free. And the cost is calories increase caloric expenditure. And so brown fat turns calories into heat. And by the way, one of the things that I think is important is the small hacks of increasing your caloric expenditure. So I'm going to point out those who are joining us on YouTube here, Gary's wearing this beautiful little vest that looks like it's just a normal vest, but it's a 10 pound 10 pound or 10 kilograms.

59:54It's 10 pounds 10 pounds vest 10 kilograms. I'd probably notice but yeah 10 pound vest and I tried it on and it really felt You know Ties lightly heavier. Yeah, it feels like it feels a kind of snug It's like you ever use a way to blanket feels good and you said that you're estimate on your particular muscle mass and Chloric spenic expenditure that you're thinking wearing this during the day close to 600 calories if I wear it from which is 10 12 hours which like I said so that's a big Mac it's significant yeah I don't say where I'll wait to vest and get a big Mac but you know I I'm a big fan of rocking too yeah and you know I've got the I think it's rogue where you put the plates in the front plates in the back and yeah but it kind of hangs over your shoulders that's a actually a large commitment this was super easy super bulky these guys that A on and AIO and I think they pronounce it ion.

1:00:50They make these weighted vest that actually snubbed to your body you can use during workouts or they make these more decorative ones you can just wear if you're just walking through the airport and it looks very acceptable. I'm trying to travel and I'm just trying to biostack things and like, well, I'm gonna be walking anyway I might as well add weight. And by the way, one of those mental hacks here and I keep on reminding people of this is it's like take the stairs instead of the escalator. You know if you need to park if you're having a difficulty finding a parking spot Park two blocks three blocks away and think of it as free exercise.

1:01:23You're not paying a trainer to give you Yeah, just those little my wife and I play that game at the airport You know, we always try to find the stairs and not the escalator What's amazing is they have this moving walkways and they're actually called moving walkways But people turn them into moving standways. Yeah, and they just get on them and they just sort of ride Yeah, I'm gonna get off the walk for feet to the other one Lazy bastards. I actually love a good walk in here for it before I get on a plane because no absolutely I think so I will not go on the moving walkways Yeah, I will actually try and keep up with everybody by walking faster on the side.

1:01:53Yeah, so cold plunge You said something interesting a second ago, which is It doesn't have to be that cold. It does not to be that long so if you're not better long is not better I mean, I so if you're in the shower in my typical practice because I don't have a cold plunge I think I just want one out there. Yeah, well, I do, but this is, I'm not always here at the studio, but there is, there's a saw and a cold plunge right there. But I will take my hot shower and then for the last 60 seconds, take it to as cold as possible. Absolutely, that's the other thing. Again, all these modalities are great, but people can take trouble wear containers, large blocks of ice in their freezer.

1:02:36or throw them in their bathtub. It's good for about three days. If you've got a couple of these big blocks, then your water will stay cold for three days. And it's a great way to make a cold plunge, because even if you're just buying ice from 7 -Eleven, eventually that adds up. So you can freeze that. That's a grid hack. Yeah, freeze these and you drop them in. Just like I said, you can access a lot of these mobilities, sunlight, grounding, breath work, cold plunge for little or next to nothing. But the other thing that you know as I've also mentioned was the release of something called cold shock proteins which are specialized proteins released from your liver.

1:03:13There's a lot of research now looking at cold shock proteins and a lot of these benefits and there's a few in particular Linn 28A and Linn capital LIN 28B which are implicated in the improvement of insulin resistance. So making you more sensitive to insulin, They scour the body of fru radical oxidation. There's some evidence that they improve protein synthesis, you know, the rate of muscle repair. And so just think in three minutes you get dopamine spike, approval of laser constriction, you know, an activation of brown fat and a release of cold chalk proteins. Three minutes and get out. I mean, and that's why you feel, I call it my drug of choice because you feel so good for so long.

1:03:58Yeah, and you don't have to get into 35 degree water and you don't have to go for 12 minutes. I see people on online, you know going under water with snorkels in 37 degree weather. It's a much a move. I'm like man. That's just not a good idea Your brain's only this far inside the surface of your skull. All right, so I want to talk about hyperbaric oxygen because I've seen and heard miraculous results and mixed results and I'll tell you where that's coming from and and so So there's a therapeutic level and a hobbyist level. So let's talk about that. So this is a hobbyist version. I actually have one of these soft shell chambers.

1:04:371 .3 atmospheres. It goes to about 1 .3, 1 .4. The hobbyist will go around 1 .3 atmospheres, which is good. But as I've gone deep down the rabbit hole of Hyper -Beric and I'm sold on Hyper -Beric, I'm actually building my podcast studio inside of a Hyper -Beric right now. I love that. So a February, middle of February, I'll have the first ever podcast studio inside of a hyperbaric. I'm coming back on your show. You're on the ultimate human. We're going to be doing in a hyperbaric. But if you look at the majority of the research on hyperbaric oxygen therapy, it's done at two atmospheres or greater.

1:05:12Yes. What I've found, sadly, is that most of the social chambers will borrow that research as as alcombs for soft shell chambers. Now I have a soft shell chamber. I'm not shitting on those guys. But you know, it mimics deep sleep. It can actually be not a replacement for, but an adjunct to pour sleep. My wife, all the time, she does not get a good night's sleep. She'll wake up and she'll go spend an hour in the hyperbaric, breathe 92 to 95 % or two through an nasal cameras. And then you are switched on. If you've ever done a hyperbaric therapy, even at 1 .3 atmospheres, you feel amazing after you get out of there and you've been breathing that oxygen.

1:05:57But the compressed gas at two atmospheres, and I've just started to go way down the rabbit hole in hyperbaric oxygen therapy. I have one of the top experts in the world coming to the house to help me design some protocols because my concern is that I become adaptive, right? And, you know, we can adapt to altitude. We could also adapt to hyperoxemia. Yeah, sure. And I also use hydrogen tablets to offset the oxidative you know free radicals from Hygienberg which is one of the questions I'm going to ask because you're driving oxygen which is an oxidative force it is yeah, it is an oxidative stressor and so but The hydrogen gas offsets that so I do another one of those hydrogen bombs you know four or five of those H2 tabs I'll drop those in water.

1:06:47I'll put down 750 milliliters of water and then I get in the hyperbaric. And I mean, I'm telling you, you feel like you took a limitless pill. You're so cognizant, so clear, so awake, so alert. It comes very close to mimicking deep sleep. And so if you're sleep deprived, you know, hyperbaric, it's excellent for wound healing, it's excellent for circulation, it's excellent for cognitive function, but both of my parents in a hyperbaric chamber. I'm super excited about the podcast studio. I mean, I don't know why you don't sleep in there. Michael Jackson used to sleep. He's not doing so well right now.

1:07:23He's not doing so good. But interestingly enough, I wasn't in Israel. I met the team that did the original work. That's where all the good research comes out of. And good cognitive function work. Yeah. And a whole slew of different repairs. Like, if you've had a stroke, If you've had any kind of neurodegenerative disease, it really is stimulating neuronal growth in an amazing fashion. But my concern is their work is premised on a significant amount of time in those hypervaryctumers. And I'm stealing, I'm going back to Jeff Bezos as I'm trying to optimize my tooth brushing time right now. Well, that's why I built the studio in the hyperbaric because I was like, I don't have enough minutes.

1:08:04Not everybody can do that. I don't know that I have an hour. And if I had an extra hour, I don't know that I would spend it like this. I wouldn't either. Yeah, I wouldn't say, you know, a hyperbaric would make my... Now, if I have, if I've got forbid, I should, you know, have had a stroke or something, then I'm all in. It's like getting... 100 percent. Getting your... Or if, you know, post -surgical recovery, this is also one of my favorite. So, hookat, what's the hookat standard? So that's a hypothermic oxygen carbonic acid transdermal therapy. So it's a mouthful, but basically a hocat is transdermal ozone.

1:08:43So ozone can be infused into the bloodstream transdermally. You know, I mean, it'd be a huge fan of ozone, mold, microtoxins, metals, glyphosate. I remember doing COVID one of the, one of many, One is the most effective therapist. I had IV, I take my blood out, circulate with ozone and then put it back in. Yeah, so there's multiple ways you could do ozone. You could just take an ozonator and put it the air into a syringe and you can hang an IV bag below the level of the heart, allow the blood drain into a sterile IV bag and then add the ozone gas to the IV or to the blood. You'll see the blood go from like a caranay wine to a bright red as as red blood cells take up that oxygen.

1:09:37And then you can infuse that back in. Now ozone's O3 so so there's an oxygen it's an O2 oxygen. It is the ultimate oxidator. It is the ultimate oxidator and that third oxygen molecule is one of the most reactive species known. It's like it's like a missile to free radicals in oxidation. And so, you know, we have them, they live in the mold capital of the world, you know, in Miami. And so, I don't think I've seen anything as effective for mold toxicity as ozone. And then you can do what's called 10 -pass ozone, which is where it's pulled into a glass vial and agitated with ozone and pulled back in and pulled out and pulled back in.

1:10:19And there's a very advanced form of ozone called EBO2. So EBO2 is extra blood corporal ozone. But it sounds actually what I like what I did during COVID. If it had a filter, that's what it was. So essentially the blood comes out, it comes out of one arm, it goes back in the other arm. It comes out. It goes through a filter. and this is a filter that's designed to remove BPAs, these BIS phenols, will remove mold spores, microtoxins, it will actually remove metals, it'll remove microplastics, and you know, anglyphosate, and as it passes through the filter, it's also osanated, and the ozone gases added to that, and then it circulated around and comes back in.

1:11:09Sometimes they also pass it through a light filter, but so EBO2 is probably, in my opinion, in the most advanced, if you have a mold, microtoxin metals, something like that, and you can't get down to, to you wanted to do like an X -Tera blood filter, then, you know, EBO2 is a great choice. That machine, the previous one you were showing, will actually, so what that does, those doors closed, they will close around your neck, and it will steam you up like a steam room, and then it will release ozone gas into the chamber. First, it releases CO2 gas. CO2 is carbon dioxide is the main vasodilator. In the human body, people think it's nitric oxide.

1:11:49It's not. Nitric oxide is actually a cost of gas, because it competes for oxygen. I wouldn't take any kind of nitric oxide supplement on purpose. But the reason why we get vascular during that time. You would do nitric oxide tablets for increasing and out to in your vaso, your vascular system? No, never, never on purpose. I mean, there's a great book called The Ultimate Guide to Methylene Blue. You go steep down the rabbit hole of nitric oxide as an oxidative free radical. And then also its implication in all kinds of neuropathic disorders, including Alzheimer's, early onset dementia, cognitive decline, autism, all learning disabilities.

1:12:37the nitric oxide will compete with cytokromosyoxidase for oxygen. And so anytime we are depriving the mitochondria of oxygen, that's a bad thing. In fact, when you do red light, you release the nitric oxide, which will go into the vascular wall and cause, we say, vasodilation, it's really a vasod relaxation effect in the arterial wall. So you do get some increased circulation, but you also get the benefit of the oxygen. But this has also rife frequency in it. So you put your feet on rife frequency plates and you can select different modalities. So you could select thyroid immune system, adenoids, what have you.

1:13:21But it runs carbon dioxide to dilate the blood vessels and dilate your pores. And then it will run transdermal hosome. And that goes rite transdermal right into the bloodstream. And I'm telling you that will shift you from a sympathetic to a parasympathetic state like nothing you've ever done in your life You are so relaxed relaxed and zen getting out of that thing. It's great. All right. We got the balancer pro here I know so just Very expensive compression gear, but they work. Okay, so this is a vascular muscular compression Yeah, so this is mainly lymphatic compression You know a lot of the compression gear people think that the more pressure the better and that's absolutely not the case with with lymphatic circulation.

1:14:01There's no pressure again behind the lymphatic system. It's a static system, so it needs muscular contraction in order for it to flow, so it needs motion and activity. So these balance are pros. They'll start at your feet and they'll actually, I'm very rhythmically and gently, and the pressure will slowly increase. They will push all of the lymphatic fluid up into the membrane. Like two paste through. Yeah, two paste through two. Yeah. All right, PEMF. Yeah, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy People swear by it and swear by it. Yeah, I have one of my So PMS pulse electromagnetic field. So this is one of those modalities where you can use high -frequency PMF which it could actually cause a muscle contraction and and is really good for muscle spasms you know muscle soreness recovering from joint injuries, but as a daily modality You want to use something called a low -gouse PEMF, GAUS, which is a current measurement, similar to the surface of your earth as a low -gouse part.

1:15:04It's a magnetic field measure. Yeah, magnetic field, sorry, measure. Is this go under your sheets of your bed? Yeah, so you can put it right under the sheets of your bed and pull the sheets over top of it. I'm an eight -leap mattress, it'll blast right through that. And what it will do is it will just run a low -gast current through the body through the low -gast field Sorry through the body and what this low -gast field does and you can measure this you could dark fill your blood You can just like you can measure the outcome of red light bed You can actually do nitric oxide strip testing before you get in and before you and when you get out and you can prove that your red light bed is Working, you know you get in before you get in the red light bed Just put a nitric oxide test strip in your mouth which you can get for like six bucks on Amazon, it'll be like a pale pink.

1:15:48Yeah. And then you'll lay in the bed for 15 or 20 minutes, wait about 10 or 15 minutes, and do it again, and you'll see that your nitric oxide levels are nice. I have those bedside. But this will, what this will do is repolarize the surface of your cells. So I think they call it rulo when the red blood cells start to stack and stick together. When cellular surfaces have similar charges, they repel. When they have opposite charges, they attract. Everywhere that they touch, you lose surface area to exchange with the outside environment. So now you're comparing this cells capacity to eliminate waste or repair or to toxify or regenerate.

1:16:24So what a post -electromagnetic field will do is it will restore that surface polarity. And you can see this pre -imposed PMF. By the way, you can see it pre -imposed grounding as well. People think that grounding and earthing is like budu science. It's not. If you can't pay to be on the budget for a PMF mat, take your shoes off and touch the surface of the earth. What is one of these puts you back here? So this one will run you about 5 grand But it really works if you look at the coils they go from the top to the bottom. Yeah, so I have a H -leap mattress and this will This goes underneath the Indigo under the H -leap H -leap thing.

1:17:04I love about the H -leap. There's no E -MF in that. It's just the coils in the bed I get markedly better sleep when I use the 8 -sleep too. Again, I'm just trying to condense time. How can I biostack these again? Lay down, I can run pulse -electromagnetic field, which is mimicking. This will be on my bi list after this. Yeah, for sure. Then the 8 -sleep. These low -gouse current mats are phenomenal for restoring cellular polarity. Fantastic. I'll just add a few of these. I'm usually I'm usually wearing a continuous glucose monitor and it's not it drove me crazy. You want to have a more CGM? It's no other reason than to gamify what I eat.

1:17:53That's basically good. Have you gotten used to seeing what calls? Yeah, so it's I my game is and so you know I'm not wearing it today I should have but the battery ran out two days ago, I've got a stack. I moved out of my house because of the, you know, the fires. Wow. Yeah, I know. I was on the edge of the Santa Monica and Pacific policy. So the house is now, I've been out of it for three weeks. And we have a remediation to get all the smoke there out. Anyway, long story short, so a lot of my stuff is is there. But I wear it simply to see how low I can keep my blood glucose from spiking throughout the day.

1:18:34I mean, that's basically it. And it's fun to see that and fun to play that game. Yeah. And do you see what happens if you high -glossing the carbs? Yeah. It's like, it's not worth it. It's interesting, right? Because I will say, okay, if I eat that, I'm going to spike it, and I'm not going to be happy about that. So it just creates a hack. Yeah. It's like, we'll talk about the ore ring in a second, which I'm wearing. And the only, you know, ore in ore ring is not going to help you get to sleep better. But it at the, in the night when I'm going to sleep, I know if I, so I pretty much given up most alcohol.

1:19:08I'll have like a sip of red wine, like that. But if I should ever drink a glass of alcohol, my orus score will, will plum it or if I go to sleep. That's so true. If I go to sleep late, it will plum it. So CGM for me, it's super easy fun. Gamal 5, what I eat. Here's the or ring. I got last night in preparation for you. I got like one of my, my high scores at 95. You did nice. So one of the things that's mention this what I when I get here. That's great What time you go to bed. I went to bed at 8 .45 p .m. Mm -hmm. I tell you I tell you that is Everything it is everything. It's it's how everything that we discussed.

1:19:51Yes matters little compared to sleep And until it's like when I go to sleep impacts Everything for us today and yeah, I used to be a night out where it'd be up low midnight one or two o 'clock and my wife and my friends like, you don't go out and party with us. Well, it's, yes, true, but I get up at five and I write. And so last night I got an hour and a half a rem and an hour and 15 of deep sleep. You get up and you write or you ride, you said? I write. Oh, you write, yeah. It's like my first two hours are mine. So good. But the R -ring doesn't give you a good night's sleep. it does gamify the fact that if I eat too late, if I drink too much water too late, I have to get up and urinate, if I go to sleep too late, if I drink, it's like I'm gonna have a shitty score in the morning.

1:20:43Yeah, you know that if you eat too close to bedtime, if you drink at all, you know, any of those things. So I get a sleep score on my eight sleep mattress as well. My eight sleep always gives me hundreds, and my horror ring is a harder grater. Yeah, same with the same with the wolf. It's usually they're usually within I wear a wolf. I actually am charging right now. Yeah The I think or an end wolf boat through the same thing you can disconnect the blue tooth at night and then it will upload in the morning Which I like yeah, but the The eight sleep is always slightly better than my whoop, but usually is not Demonstratively, it's like 96 97 96 98.

1:21:24I feel like it's a it grades on a higher curve But I was like one of the earliest investors in aura that was first came out and the or ring used to be this giant Like scarab size thing on your Yeah, they're beautiful. That's it right there. Yeah, I mean this is the this is the gen 3 that's out now but when you think about the amount of Integrated electronics and circuitry in there right and it's really it's got four or five days of battery It's got a multitude of sensors and lasers and Bluetooth I mean, it is amazing. It's the beginning of what we're gonna see in the wearables revolution. Well, when this integrates with labs, you know, genetic testing, you know, body scans, all of these different modalities, when AI is able to pull all of that into one place.

1:22:16You know, the thing I'm really a fan of wearables for is, you know, aura, whoop. Yeah, these guys can do studies that I think are more important than individual randomized clinical trials because when you take, you know, six people or eight people and you send up the University of Miami to do a sleep study and they walk into a sterile room that's like two clicks shy of a jail cell. You put the monitors all over their body and you tell them to go to sleep versus you get a thousand people or 5 ,000 or 10 ,000 people to opt into a study with Woop or with ORA and you're studying them in their own environment and in their own family sleeping in their own bed, and in their own habitual pattern, I think you get better data.

1:22:57You do, it's amazing. And I've got eventually a little being plantables. I've got a, if you feel this right over here, there's a little glass capsule in there. Well, you're in this level, what is that? Dude, what is going on there? That's my business card. Yeah. Is it really? Yeah, I've been chipped. Really? Really? So I was on stage in Amsterdam at a singular university event and the guy was there showing the future of implantables. This is like 12 years ago, really early on. That's how long that's been in there. It's been in there. It's a non -bioreactive glass and inside is a near field reading device, so a NRF.

1:23:44And it's like when you chip a dog, you know, and you can read that's what this is my business card on it, but eventually it will be Measuring everything not you know not on the surface, but sub -dermally Mm -hmm. And so these are coming my venture fund we invested a number of these really yeah, that's so fascinating A tonal You know, I love the device for its ease of use and it's all about consistency It's all about consistency. You know, I use an inbody. I mean, I love the devices. Oh, the measure year. Yeah, and again, it's gamified. So last year, I focused on adding 10 pounds of mass. My muscle mass, and it was like consistency in the gym.

1:24:27Five days, if I could six days, create 10, 150 grams of protein, could weigh 150 pounds. And it was like just measure, measure, measure, measure, measure to play that game. Yeah. And you have to want to play the game. Yeah, but you also have to enjoy it. and you've got to have trackable things to track it like this. Yeah. And then I love my sleep, my Manta sleep mask. This is the, there are three versions of it. This is the most advanced version with speakers in it. I actually don't use this one's a little bit heavier, but I can't sleep without it. I can't sleep without a sleep mask either. I also use a, I don't have it on this year, but a mandibular advancement device.

1:25:07It is a upper and lower upper and lower device that moves the jaw forward The mandible that opens up the airway keeps you from grinding my teeth and the orring the manta the H sleep my Those are my my sleep kit. I'm like I am his thrown as many hacks as well But I it's like I travel with this stuff. Yeah, I do too. Am I slippers? I got my slippers on at home And that's you know, we talked about the Yeah, it's like cooling mattress. And it's really, for me, maintaining that body temperature at, you know, I put it, I said it vaccinated by how much of an impact just slight changes in temperature variation have and holding you in.

1:25:54Because I notice I will see the same length of time, but my REM and deep scores will not be as much. And when I look back at what the H sleep is doing, changing its temperature to hold you in deep sleep to hold you in REM sleep. I mean, honestly, how it even knows that is wild to me. But it, you know, my, my whoop will validate that, you know, as well. And people should know on your sleep, there are two important phases, right? There's your deep sleep, which typically occurs in the first half of your night sleep cycle. And your deep sleep is where your lymphatic system is clearing proteins, toxic proteins in your brain.

1:26:37And if you have to choose deep sleep, I think we're critically important for our long -term health, REM is where you can solidate any memories and REM will typically occur in the later stage of your sleep cycle. So if you are getting good deep sleep but you wake up four hours after you start, you might get an hour, you know, I try and get at least an hour of deep sleep and at least an hour of REM sleep is my goal. And it's hard to control that. The only way to control it is no alcohol, no food for a couple hours before, and getting a sleep early. And when I do that, I'm typically get into that great cycle.

1:27:14But if I wake up after a short and sleep, the deep sleep's air, but the REM has been eliminated. Yeah. So, you know, I'd like to wrap with a conversation on a technology that we're both passionate about, which came out of DARPA called XTERRA and their filter. So I'm going to have XTERRA on stage with me at the abundance summit. You know, this year for the first time, so every year at the abundance summit, which I holding March, I've got a day on AI, a day on exponential technologies, a day on moonshots, a day on longevity. And this is the first year that I'm really going from a focus on diagnostics to a focused on advanced therapeutics.

1:28:05I mean, tech to enable you to extend your life and to really cure prevent diseases is finally coming online right now. I mean, it's huge believer in the X -Tera. Yeah, Sarah, talk about it. So I did a podcast with Dr. Mink Chala. Yeah, it's CMO, G -Metplop. Yeah, he's a chief medical officer there, and it's worth a watch if you've... And please, the ultimate human podcast, yeah, ultimate human podcast. But so Dr. Chala is an anthropologist. He was an ICU septic specialist, you know, one of the challenges in ICU is that people get sepsis. It's pretty common, you're ventilated. bacteria in your blood.

1:28:45Bacteria in your blood. Very painful, very dangerous. Very dangerous. I mean, sometimes not painful because you're not conscious, but very, very dangerous nonetheless. And a part of what happens is you can shut your kidneys down. So he was an aphrologist. So obviously he's been studying how the blood is filtered throughout his entire career. He's also published some unearthly amount of peer reviewed studies. It's well in excess of 100 years. He's a sweet heart guy. He's a sweet heart of a guy. I mean, he's one of my favorite humans. and I'm talking about spike protein detox. But and so this filtration system that he's co -developed has not just filters, which most filters are filter based on size, right?

1:29:29So a filter will be a step down filter will have progressively decreasing size. So size four is the things can get through. Yeah, exactly. And so you're filtering things out by size. but when you're filtering the blood and you're filtering it by size, like you want to get down to the size of the micron size of a virus, well now you're going to take platelets and you're going to take all kinds of growth factors, you're going to take all kinds of useful stuff. Use useful things out of the bloodstream. So what you'd prefer to do is creating a binding affinity. And if you could, you know, selectively create an affinity that attracted things like viruses, microtoxins, circulating tumor cells, which is fascinating to me that you can get circulating tumor cells, bisphenols, microplastics, and you could create this binding affinity and essentially what these heparin binding sites do, you know, aside from increased surface area inside this filter is, they sort of mimic the wall of the artery.

1:30:32Yeah, the glycokalics. And so, which a lot of pathogens have a natural affinity for because that's how you leave the blood and enter the tissue. The way when he was speaking at my longevity platinum trip, he said, listen, you typically have these things that are circulating through your blood. And if they're trying to attack you, they need to attach to the surface of the blood vessel and then enter through that. And our blood vessels are coated with this glycocailics, this large protein structure. And he built this filter, you call it the Sephora? Serif. Serif, Serif filter. And the number I remember is a tennis court size surface area of this glycocailics protein that your blood flows through.

1:31:22And so if your blood has any kind of viruses And we are constantly building up these viral loads. Thousands, I mean, I'm crazy. You know, we were talking before the podcast, and I'm a big fan of this sort of emerging viewpoint that aging is this process of immunofatigue. Yes. Immunoxuction is right. Immunoxuction. Yeah. Yeah. So, it's, you know, the immune system is just fighting on too many fronts. You know, eventually we're sort of micropoisoning ourselves to death. We're bathing our cellular biology in this toxic soup. even those of us that are trying our best not to. And if you could filter these pathogenic compounds, including a lot of the inflammatory compounds out of the human, out of the bloodstream, now all of a sudden you give your immune system a leg up.

1:32:11You know, so, you know, so mold, microtoxins, viruses, you know, they have some really interesting data on long COVID. And, you know, 27 million people report suffering from long COVID. They can filter long COVID out of your blood two or three filters. It's incredible. That gives somebody their life back. It does and the way I think about it is the following. We are living in this world of embedded with viruses and we get a We might get a CMV. We might get a Epstein bar virus. I, I, you know, all of these viruses and they don't go away. They're embedded in your cell in your DNA and they flare up.

1:32:58Literally wound into your DNA. And it turns out your innate immune system, your natural killer cells are there and they have two primary functions. One is they're looking for cells infected by viruses and killing those cells. The other one is they're looking for cancer cells. The serotonin killer cells. And if you are bombarding your body with these embedded viruses that you're getting and you get a cold and you get COVID on top of that, you exhaust it to the point where it cannot battle on all these fronts. And so when you put one of these filters and you literally are taking the blood out of your body, you're filtering it over this test quart size of glycocalix, all of those, those, you know, pathogens.

1:33:47Sure, getting tumor cells pathogens. Yeah, get pulled out and you return to your blood. And then your immune system is like, ah, it's a field day. Yeah. We'll sweep up all the guys that are left. Yeah, I think it would be a great treatment to do before you did biologics. So if you were doing stem cells or exosomes or a natural killer cell treatment or one of the other advanced biologic treatments to actually have a clean slate. Yes. You know, one of the things that we do for athletes and other folks that are leading the country to go do stem cell treatments as we say, well, let's take 10 weeks and really get your blood as clean as we can.

1:34:19Right. Let's lower. You don't want to hit your body with stem cell treatments if you've got any kind of cancer in your body or anything that the stem cells could activate it continues. Yeah, and not only that, you don't want to do it if you have hyperinsulinemia, but a lot of pro -inflammatory cytokines or very high C -reactive protein, high homeocistine, these stem cells have been affinity to for inflammation. You want the inflammation to be in the areas where you need the stem cells to go to work, not just dispersing once they get to the bloodstream. Yeah, but he tell everybody where they can find you My first and last name just at Gary Brecca on Instagram or at The ultimate human my podcast is the ultimate human I Have a community I write I write a free newsletter every week.

1:35:11I write challenges and guides. I host free challenges About every other month cold plunge challenges breathwork challenges whole food challenges is got challenges, all kinds of things. And people go through a community, with a community go through that challenge together. I have a paid community that's $97 a month. I do four private podcasts a month with that community. Do a lot of one on one, like, you know, Q &As, bring lots of special guests on there. I've had Dana White, Jelly Roll, Steve and I Smith. You have lots and lots of fun folks on our challenges. I have a free challenge coming up in February, which is my morning routine challenge.

1:35:50So we're gonna go through the science of morning routines, the science of circadian rhythm. I stay with them for three days. We're actually measuring sleep scores. It's a really, really cool, fun, active, engaged community. And, you know, listen, if you wanna make a change in your life, doing this with a community, is the number one way to do it. Yeah, for sure. And that's what we're trying to do. Well, that's what we are doing at the Ultimate Human. It's just building a community, and we call them the Ultimate Human VIPs. So you can go to theultimatehuman .com, read it, what it would be like to become an Ultimate Human VIP.

1:36:25So I'm back in Miami, did a February the FII Summit is happening down there. Yeah, I'm coming through to play with your toys. Let's do it, man. The round two. You'll do a podcast in the hyperbarek chamber. Oh, let's, I love that. All right, awesome, Peter. All right, good luck, my friend. Thank you. Take care, everybody. live healthy eat
