0:07Gary Brecka:A lot of what we did was not fancy multi-million dollar equipment. A lot of it was keto reset diet, getting into a routine, dietary and lifestyle changes.

0:15Dana White:It didn't take 13 weeks. It took six and it started to feel so good that you become addicted to feeling that good. Look at this guy.

0:22Gary Brecka:He's like TKO. He started to slap. He just signed his deal with Paramount, which is all over the news right now.

2:02Gary Brecka:a lot to me that's a fact it's a fact and it really does i mean for for there there were a lot of naysayers out there like is he's going to sustain it or he's just taking steroids or

2:11Dana White:um i love naysayers the naysayers get me up in the morning um you know when we sold the ufc in 2016 everybody said oh they overpaid the ufc peaked and all this bullshit it's just uh and i said this before and i'll say it again um you know everywhere i go i i end up saying well gary brecca said well gary brecca said and and everybody thinks i'm some paid puppet and uh you know definitely not you are a pain puppet not only am i not paid to do this i paid to do this he paid for an iv today but i say it all the time gary brecca everything that is said about this thing this guy everything that i say it's it's all real i started this journey three years ago carrie case i'm a good friend of mine was terrorizing me to meet gary and she's like he's going to change her life I didn't want to meet him.

3:06Dana White:I wasn't into this. I didn't believe in any of this. I believed in modern medicine. Now I am the complete opposite. Um, like I say all the time, if I break my arm, I'm going to see a doctor. If I, if something's wrong with me, health-wise, I'm calling Gary Brecka. I'm getting Gary on the phone. Um, and there's just so much more that I could say on how legit this guy is and the things that he's capable of doing. And, uh, I'm just, listen, I'm lucky I met you, man. I'm lucky I met you. That means after you rip through this thing again and tell everybody what it really meant. And even me and my wife, uh, when we talk about that, you said, you know, you probably had 10 years to live.

3:46Dana White:We don't agree with you. We think that I probably had less.

3:49Gary Brecka:Yeah.

3:49Dana White:We think that I probably had less than 10 years to live. I was in, in really, really bad shape, man. And I think, I mean, in bad shape, like, Oh, I couldn't work I was in bad shape. Literally my, my, my health was at a critical point that I probably was going to die within years.

4:06Gary Brecka:Yeah. Yeah. I believe that. And we've had a journey with some of your family members. I won't mention them, but, um, older female members in your family would be, you know, um, uncles of yours. I mean, we've, we've had some really interesting, um, health journeys and, in Lyme disease and other, and other conditions that are now in, in, in remission. Yeah.

4:27Dana White:I just you know, he's been battling Lyme disease. Now my cousin, my cousin was, uh, you know, he's in his sixties and, and he was starting to have a lot of problems. I go on this motorcycle trip every year and, uh, half of his face got paralyzed. His, his hand is that side of his, uh, body wasn't working either as his hands. And as we were leading up to the, to the trip, I said, I'm not going to listen. I'm no doctor, but I said, he's got, he's having a stroke or a heart attack or something. So I flew him out to the Mayo clinic. They did all the tests on him and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.

5:09Dana White:He spent three days in their cardiac unit. Yeah, exactly. And, and, and again, no bullshit. Fuck would I lie for it? we were at a bar in Tennessee and, and he was getting, you know, worse and worse and worse. I said, I called my assistant and I said, call Gary Brecca right now, send David's blood work to Gary Brecca and, and, and ask him to look at it for me. I shit you not. In 30 minutes, gary calls me i'm still at the bar he says yeah this is plain as day your cousin has lyme disease that's what he has he has lyme disease and how you know he's from the northeast and you know how he couldn't gary sent over a protocol while we're on vacation on this motorcycle ride within three days my cousin david started looking better feeling better completely cured him it's not even an issue for my cousin now this is one like he said there's been several things in my family This is one of 15 to 20 Gary Brecker stories.

6:15Dana White:I could tell you, um, I'll say it again for all you people that think it's a crock of shit and all you guys that think you're the fucking in the industry. And, you know, you look like you're on a bunch of fucking steroids, uh, and you're out there criticizing. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't, don't hook up with Gary. Don't do it. Call your doctor and good luck to you. Anyway.

6:39Gary Brecka:So I just, you know, it's our three year anniversary almost to the month. And, you know, you're on the heels of one of, I think one of the biggest deals in, in pay-per-view and media history. I want to get your comments on that too, because I wonder if you think that, you know, pay-per-view is dead. But before we get into that, I want to, I want to just go through your labs. I want to just talk about the condition for people that understand labs. You know, we put these on the, on, you were very, you were very truthful about these in the beginning. You were like, fuck it, throw it on, uh, you know, social media.

7:11Dana White:The only reason that I am is because I'm trying to tell people, you know, yeah, you're 50 or whatever your age is. My legs, I could barely put my shoes on. My legs were in pain all the time. Um, uh, I had sleep apnea beyond belief. I used to throw up almost every night, um, choking, waking up, gasping, coughing, you know, and I have access to the best healthcare in the world. I can literally fly other places and meet new doctors and do things. Nobody could help help me. Nobody could fix anything that was wrong with me. It was either a new set of pills or a, or a new mask for the CPAP machine and, uh, you know, all that bullshit.

7:51Dana White:Yeah. So we, um, I wanted to share that with people to let people know there's, there's, there's other alternatives and you can feel great. My life over the last three years, everything that I'm doing in my life and in my business

8:04Gary Brecka:about to head out on another motorcycle trip here tko yeah i'm flying all over the place um i'm

8:10Dana White:literally not going to be home this entire month but none of this none of this would be happening right now if it wasn't for you and i'm so deeply appreciative of that and i want people to hear

8:19Gary Brecka:this message because a lot of what we did was not fancy multi-million dollar equipment a lot of it was keto reset diet getting into a routine um eating whole foods when he came off of a keto diet, basic supplements, methylated multivitamins, trimethylglycine to bring down homocysteine and, and just watching mainly what went in his mouth. Yes, there was red light therapy and PEMF and cold plunges and saunas and that kind of thing, but that's widely available to, to the public. You can actually take a cold shower. You can throw, uh, you know, water in a Tupperware container, put it in your freezer and put it in your tub and make your, make yourself a cold plunge.

8:53Gary Brecka:And you can actually get memberships to places that have red light therapy beds. You do not need to spend a hundred grand on a red light therapy bed. And I know a lot of the criticism that you and I get for the journey that we've been on is that this is only for rich people. This is only for the elite. And the majority of what he did, grounding, breathwork, sunlight, whole food diet, you know, a 10-week keto reset, getting into a routine, not missing a workout, steady state cardio, taking things like hydrogen water and perfect aminos and just basic supplementation that you could get for 60, 90,$100 a month.

9:28Gary Brecka:at online or on Amazon from plenty of reputable places. That's what moved the needle for him. There was no steroids. There was no truzebitide, semaglutide, retatratide, none of these fancy GLP-1 inhibitors. We didn't do any of those. And it's actually the opposite.

9:43Dana White:When you say steroids, yeah, I'm on testosterone replacement therapy. And I always was. I was on it for a long time. I was taking the wrong kind, taking the wrong dosage, and he actually dropped my dosage of what I was taking. and I never felt better with the way that Gary did it.

10:01Gary Brecka:The guy that I was with before fucked me all up. If you know me, you know I'm a huge believer in the benefits of hydrogen water. H2Tab delivers cost-effective portable tablets that generate ultra-clean molecular hydrogen at 12 parts per million, one of the highest concentrations on the market, with over 1 ,300 published studies showing benefits of oxidative stress, energy, recovery, brain function, and so much more, taking charge of your health has never been easier or more cost-effective. Just drop a tablet in water, let it dissolve, and drink it back. It's less than a dollar a day, science-backed and part of my daily routine.

10:40Gary Brecka:I never travel without this, and it is my favorite biohack. Visit drinkh2tab.com. That's drinkh2tab.com, and upgrade your hydration today.

10:52Dana White:Now let's get back to the Ultimate Human Podcast.

10:55Gary Brecka:Yeah, we went from a single injection every two weeks to multiple injections a week and spread out a lower dosage, brought your estrogen down. But just going through some of the labs here, you know, so the day we met, hematocrit, which is a measure of blood viscosity, tells you how close is your blood to water, how close is your blood to motor oil. Your blood was very much like motor oil. It was over 51 on a LabCorp lab, which means that the blood was getting to be like the viscosity of olive oil. Um, when we looked at the kidney function, it was, um, early stage renal failure, you know, with a filtration rate in, in, uh, the high forties, low fifties.

11:34Gary Brecka:Um, this is, this is an indication of, of, of early stage, you know, kidney, kidney failure, the triglycerides, which we keep going back to fasted were 764. Um, I just want to say now the triglycerides are, are 79 total cholesterol 190 um egfr is in the 90s meaning the filtration rate of the kidneys has dramatically improved um there was a lingering epstein-bar viral infection that's gone um one of the one of the hallmark labs that i talk about a lot and one of the reasons why i wanted to put dana back on this podcast and talk about where we are three years from when we started was his homocysteine this is an amino acid that's in everybody's blood it's in your blood listening to this podcast.

12:16Gary Brecka:It's in mine, it's in his. When this amino acid rises, it can irritate the lining of the arteries and cause arterial constriction and drive blood pressure up. At the time, Dana White was what was called a brittle hypertensive and you were on beta blockers and ACE inhibitors. These are lower blood pressure lowering medications. We used a simple amino acid called trimethylglycine to metabolize this homocysteine out of the bloodstream. As the homocysteine came down, your blood pressure, if you remember, returned to normal. And it's still normal. And you're not on blood pressure meds. I just want to say we're three years.

12:54Dana White:Not on any meds.

12:56Gary Brecka:Homocysteine, for the record, guys, is seven. His hemoglobin A1c, the three-month average of your blood sugar, was over six. 6.4. You're a full-blown diabetic at 7.0. You're an insulin-dependent diabetic. He was unaware of that. Hemoglobin A1c right now, maintained by diet, 5.3. So when you just look, when I look through these labs and, you know, his vitamin D3 level was in the low 20s, it's now between 60 and 80 nanograms. His thyroid hormone T3 was in the hypothyroid range. We did not put him on thyroid meds. We put him on methylated vitamins. Why? Because methylation is the precursor for deiodinization of the thyroid in the liver.

13:42Gary Brecka:You cannot deiodinize T4 into T3 without things like selenium and selenocysteine and selenomethionine. And these come from the process of methylation. So basic supplementation, dietary and lifestyle changes. And look at this guy. He's like, we've got TKO. He started slap. He just signed his seven plus billion dollar deal with Paramount, which is all over the news right now, by the way, the final marker that I want to just talk about is insulin. He was hyperinsulinemic with insulin level above 32. His insulin is now nine. So, and I want to be clear without Tiers Epitide, Majora, Wagovee, Ozempic, and without the GLP-1s, I have nothing against the GLP-1s, but this was not a massive pharmaceutical intervention.

14:26Gary Brecka:This was the absence of pharmaceuticals and getting back to the basics.

14:32Dana White:The amount of supplements that I take a day now are less than the amount of pills I took back then.

14:39Gary Brecka:Wow.
