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

    232. Gary Brecka Live at the Biohacking 360 Conference 2025 in Romania
    Jan 1 2026
    Gary Brecka takes the stage at the Biohacking 360 Summit in Romania to challenge modern medical dogmas and reveal how the body can heal itself when given the right raw materials. Drawing from 22 years of mortality research, Brecka explains that the vast majority of human ailments, from ADHD and depression to hypertension, stem from nutrient deficiencies and a lack of oxygen, not genetically inherited diseases.

    231. TJ Dillashaw: On Biohacking, Longevity, Injury Recovery and Life After UFC
    Dec 30 2025
    I sat down with two-time UFC Champion TJ Dillashaw to discuss the "delusional optimism" and biohacking protocols, like stem cell therapy and zone two training, that fueled his legendary career and his recovery from a dark identity crisis. Now, we’re diving into how he’s applying that same championship grit to disrupt the supplement industry with Wild Society Nutrition, proving that the pursuit of excellence in business and longevity is the ultimate human journey.
