  Gary said, give me 13 weeks and I'll change your life. Nobody could fix anything that was wrong with me. I probably was going to die within years.

• 0:07Gary Brecka?

  A lot of what we did was not fancy multimillion dollar equipment. A lot of it was keto reset diet, getting into a routine, dietarian lifestyle changes.

• 0:15Speaker 00

  It didn't take 13 weeks. It took six and it started to feel so good that you become addicted to feeling that good.

• 0:21Gary Brecka?

  Look at this guy. He's like TKO, he started slap. He just signed a deal with Paramount, which is all over the news right now.

• 0:27Speaker 00

  Streaming is on the rise. So these streaming services are realizing they all need live sports. Everything that I'm doing in my life and in my business, literally none of this would be happening had I not finally connected with you three years ago.

• 0:41Gary Brecka?

  This deal that you just did, I mean, the fact that it's going to be so impactful. I think about where you were when we started and where you are now to say, once you feel this good, you never ever want to go back.

• 0:53Speaker 00

  I'll say it again, for all you people that think it's a crockish, and all you guys in the industry and you're out there criticizing.

• 1:13Gary Brecka?

  Oh, this is amazing, dude. Welcome back, Dana White. You know, you stopped by the house today in Miami and I was like, we gotta go do a three year anniversary recap because.

• 1:25Speaker 00

  Yeah, I mean, we were just sitting in there having breakfast and he starts going through my original numbers and what they meant three years ago. And, you know, I'm out here dropping my daughter off at college. We just announced our new rights deal this week. Power slap is off the charts.

• 1:42Gary Brecka?

  Seven and a half billion dollar rights deal.

• 1:44Speaker 00

  I'm going into the Canelo Crawford fight on September 13th. Noche, the same night. And the list goes on and on with the business and literally none of this would be happening had I not. Finally connected with you three years ago.

• 2:01Gary Brecka?

  Thank you, man. That means a lot to me.

• 2:02Speaker 00

  That's a fact. It's a fact.

• 2:04Gary Brecka?

  And it really does. I mean, for, for, there, there, there were a lot of naysayers out there like, is he's going to sustain it? Or he's just taking steroids or?

• 2:12Speaker 00

  I love naysayers. The naysayers get me up in the morning. You know, when we sold the UFC in 2016, everybody said, oh, they overpaid. The UFC peaked and all this bullshit. It just, and I said this before, and I'll say it again. You know, everywhere I go, I, I, I end up saying, well, Gary Brecka said, well, Gary Brecka said, and, and everybody thinks I'm some paid puppet. And, uh, you know.

• 2:38Gary Brecka?

  Definitely not. You are a paying puppet.

• 2:41Speaker 00

  Not only am I not paid to do this, I pay to do this.

• 2:46Gary Brecka?

  He paid for an IV today.

• 2:47Speaker 00

  But I say it all the time. Gary Brecka, 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 Kasem, a good friend of mine, was terrorizing me to meet Gary. And she's like, he's going to change your life. I didn't want to meet him. I, I wasn't into this. I didn't believe in any of this. I believed in modern medicine. Now I am the complete opposite. 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.

• 3:24Speaker 00

  And there's just so much more that I could say on how legit this guy is and, and the things that he's capable of doing. And I'm just, listen, I'm lucky I met you, man. I'm lucky I met you.

• 3:35Gary Brecka?

  That means a lot.

• 3:35Speaker 00

  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. We don't agree with you. We think that I probably had less.

• 3:49Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 3:49Speaker 00

  We think that I probably had less than 10 years to live. I was in, in really, really bad shape, man.

• 3:54Gary Brecka?

  And I think.

• 3:55Speaker 00

  And I mean, in bad shape, like, oh, I couldn't work out. 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.

• 4:23Speaker 00

  Yeah, I just saw that Justin Timberlake came out publicly and said that, uh, you know, he's been battling Lyme disease.

• 4:30Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 4:30Speaker 00

  Now, my cousin, uh, I, my cousin was, uh, you know, he's in his 60s and, and he was starting to have a lot of problems. I go on this motorcycle trip every year and uh, he, half of his face got paralyzed. His, his hand is, that side of his body wasn't working either, his, his hands. And as we were leading up to the, to the trip, I said, I'm not gonna, I, I, listen, I'm no doctor, but I said, he, 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.

• 5:09Gary Brecka?

  He spent three days in their cardiac unit.

• 5:11Speaker 00

  Exactly. And, and, and again, no bullshit. Fuck what I lie for. We, 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 Brecka right now. Send David's blood work to Gary Brecka 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

• 5:52Speaker 00

  the Northeast and, you know, how can, 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 Brecka stories I could tell you. 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 and you're out there criticizing. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't, don't hook up

• 6:34Speaker 00

  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, you know, social media.

• 7:10Speaker 00

  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. I had sleep apnea beyond belief. I used to throw up almost every night. 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, you know, all that bullshit.

• 7:51Gary Brecka?

  Yeah. So we.

• 7:52Speaker 00

  And 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, about to head out on another motorcycle trip.

• 8:07Gary Brecka?

  Slap TKO.

• 8:08Speaker 00

  Yeah, I'm flying all over the place. I'm 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.

• 8:16Gary Brecka?

  And I'm so deeply appreciative of that. And I, and I want people to hear this message because a lot of what we did was not fancy multimillion dollar equipment. A lot of it was keto reset diet, getting into a routine.

• 8:28Gary Brecka?

  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. 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, 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,

• 9:09Gary Brecka?

  breath work, sunlight, um, whole food diet, you know, a 10 week keto reset, getting into a routine, not missing a workout, um, steady state cardio, taking things like, um, hydrogen water and, uh, perfect aminos and just basic supplementation that you could get for $60, $90, a hundred dollars a month 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, um, tirzepatide, semaglutide, ritachertide, none of these fancy GLP-1 inhibitors. We didn't do any of those.

• 9:43Speaker 00

  It's actually the opposite. When you say steroids, um, 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. The guy that I was with before fucked me all up.

• 10:03Gary Brecka?

  If you know me, you know, I'm a huge believer in the benefits of hydrogen water. H2 Tab 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. I never travel

• 10:41Gary Brecka?

  without this and it is my favorite biohack. Visit drinkh2tab.com. That's drinkh2tab.com and upgrade your hydration today. Now let's get back to the ultimate human podcast. 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, was over 51 on a LabCorp lab, which means that the blood was getting to be like the viscosity of olive oil. When we looked at

• 11:25Gary Brecka?

  the kidney function, it was early-stage renal failure, you know, with a filtration rate in the high 40s, low 50s. This is an indication of early-stage kidney failure. The triglycerides, which we keep going back to, fasted, were 764. I just want to say now, the triglycerides are 79. Total cholesterol, 190. EGFR is in the 90s, meaning the filtration rate of the kidneys has dramatically improved. There was a lingering Epstein-Barr viral infection, that's gone. 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

• 12:10Gary Brecka?

  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, it's in mine, it's in his. When this amino acid rises, 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 trimethoglycine 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.

• 12:52Speaker 00

  I am not.

• 12:53Gary Brecka?

  I just want to say we're three years.

• 12:54Speaker 00

  Not any meds and, and yep.

• 12:56Gary Brecka?

  Homeostatin 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, when I look through these labs and, um, you know, his vitamin D3 level was in the low twenties. 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 solenocysteine and solenomethionine. And these come from the process of methylation. So basic supplementation, dietary and lifestyle changes. And look at this guy, he's like TKO, he started slap. He just signed a seven plus billion dollar deal with, with, with Paramount, uh, 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, um, and I want to be clear without tirzepatide, Majara, wagovy, ozempic. And without the GLP ones, I have nothing against the GLP ones, but this was not a massive pharmaceutical intervention.

• 14:26Gary Brecka?

  There was the absence of pharmaceuticals and getting back to the basics.

• 14:33Speaker 00

  The amount of supplements that I take a day now are less than the amount of pills I took back then.

• 14:40Gary Brecka?

  Wow.

• 14:40Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 14:41Gary Brecka?

  I didn't know that.

• 14:41Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 14:42Gary Brecka?

  Yeah. I mean, I knew that you were on a lot, you're on stuff from Manir's, all kinds of, all kinds of stuff.

• 14:46Speaker 00

  I was on thyroid meds back then too. I was on a bunch of shit that made me feel terrible. And, uh, you know, like you said, I'm, I'm three years into this thing and I'm addicted. Addicted to cold plunging. I, I never used to like to do sauna. Now I do the sauna and do the red light. I do all that stuff. I've, I've been very hardcore and regimented.

• 15:08Speaker 00

  Let's just say this. When Gary, when I first met Gary, Gary said, give me 13 weeks and I'll change your life. And I was, and he's like, it's going to be hard. I said, no, it won't. When I set up my mind, I'll, you know, 13 weeks, it didn't take 13 weeks. It took six and it started to feel so good that you become like addicted to feeling that good. So I was hardcore for a long time. Now I jump in and out of keto. Um, like I'm going to Chicago this weekend for the fight and I'm gonna wreck Chicago.

• 15:39Gary Brecka?

  Somebody's going off of keto.

• 15:41Speaker 00

  I'm going to, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna eat some food in Chicago. And then, you know, when I get back, I just jump back on my routine and do my thing. So I might, and my weight might fluctuate like this, but my health doesn't. It's, it's, uh, it's incredible.

• 15:56Gary Brecka?

  Yeah. Since I got you in the seat, I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you about this deal. I mean, this has got to be one of the biggest deals in pay-per-view and media history. Um, and I hear all kinds, I was just reading about it online and people were like, this is the end of pay-per-view. You know, this, that side of media is dead. Like what, what?

• 16:13Speaker 00

  Pay-per-view isn't dead. The business is, is alive and strong. I'm doing a pay-per-view this Saturday. But what's happening is, is that cable television is going in satellite and streaming is on the rise. Uh, I mean, Netflix, uh, stock is higher than it's ever been and, and, and they're killing it. But, you know, if there's a new show that I like called Mobland, and I've already watched this nine episodes, I could watch that in a couple of days, or I can watch it two years from now. It's always going to be there.

• 16:44Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 16:45Speaker 00

  Destination TV is live sports. So these streaming services are realizing they all need live sports. So, uh, the battle is on for, for everybody to get what they're going to get. And, uh, I, um,

• 16:59Speaker 00

  I think the pay-per-view is still a good business as a live, but for our fans now, instead of paying, you know, I saw a thing yesterday was like $1,035 to be a UFC fan and, and get all the content. Now it's like $104.

• 17:12Gary Brecka?

  I know, it's incredible. My, my, my son gets an $80 pay-per-view, sometimes twice in a month. He watches every single UFC pay-per-view religiously and he's 24 years old.

• 17:22Speaker 00

  Love you Cole.

• 17:23Gary Brecka?

  Exactly. Yeah. Love you too Cole. Um, he's not exactly hemorrhaging cash. Um, and, uh, and he was like, dude, this is the greatest thing to happen to the fans ever. It's like, this was the biggest, best move for the fans to be able to, to, to see the sport.

• 17:38Speaker 00

  It's great for the sport. It's great for the fans and it's definitely good for the fighters. It's, it's, it's a, it's a win-win-win for everybody.

• 17:44Gary Brecka?

  Yeah. Because fighters used to get a percentage, some of them would get a percentage of pay-per-view, right? For now there's other ways.

• 17:49Speaker 00

  Figure that all out mathematically, you know, and, uh, yeah, every time we knew a new rights deal, fighter pay goes up and up and up. So it's good for everybody.

• 17:57Gary Brecka?

  But I think about the three-year journey that we've been on, what you've accomplished in the last three years. I mean, first of all, slap, I feel like came out of nowhere.

• 18:05Speaker 00

  It did.

• 18:06Gary Brecka?

  And you and the, you and the Fertitta brothers, I think, you know, took another trip around the sun with, with that one and just, um, did you just call them up one day and say, hey, you guys want to run it again?

• 18:16Speaker 00

  Yeah. Literally what I did, I said, listen, you're not going to believe this, but I'm into the slapping thing. Uh, want to do it again?

• 18:22Gary Brecka?

  Did Lorenzo say you're out of your freaking mind?

• 18:24Speaker 00

  No, he said, how much money do you need?

• 18:27Gary Brecka?

  Yeah. The last one went pretty well. That's awesome, man. So slap has been taken off TKO. I feel like the Canelo fight is probably the biggest fight in, but I feel like, again, I, I, I wouldn't call it myself a boxing fanatic, but I'm a, you know, I'm a sports fan. I'm a huge fan of the UFC. I'm a fan of boxing. I feel like boxing got sort of, uh, jokeish there for a while, almost. There's just seemed to be a lot of these, uh, fights with, with older fighters, fighting YouTubers, things like that.

• 18:54Speaker 00

  Well, they, they had the, uh,

• 18:56Gary Brecka?

  like the, like the,

• 18:57Speaker 00

  the fights everybody wanted to see never got made.

• 19:00Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 19:00Speaker 00

  That was the problem.

• 19:01Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 19:01Speaker 00

  Or they got made too late and, you know, you know, I'm, I'm not saying that I'm the guy that's going to come in and fix, but I'm going to, I'm going to give it a shot.

• 19:09Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 19:09Speaker 00

  I'm going to give it a shot.

• 19:10Gary Brecka?

  I mean,

• 19:10Speaker 00

  I have less than zero arrogance about.

• 19:14Speaker 00

  Thinking that I'm gonna fix boxing because this thing's so broken, but yeah, I'm gonna give it a shot.

• 19:18Gary Brecka?

  Yeah, no, and I think the fans are looking forward to Dana. And, and this, this, this deal that you just did, I mean, the fact that it's going to be so impactful for the, for the fans. I think about where you were when we started. Where you are now, I'm taking zero credit for that. You put in the effort, but there's somebody listening to this right now that just hasn't flicked that switch. It just either doesn't believe it or has an excuse not to start and just, uh, you know, wants to, wants somebody to peel back the layers of the onion and promise them that it's going to work out. And this is why I sat down with Dana three years later to say, this is sustainable. You know, I've had many, many a client like Dana that says, once you feel this good,

• 20:03Gary Brecka?

  you never ever want to go back. And

• 20:07Speaker 00

  And even if you fall off the wagon badly and you go on a, you know, a bender, whatever a bender is for you, it's food or it's, you know, drinking alcohol and party with your friends or whatever your bender is.

• 20:21Speaker 00

  It's about having the knowledge on how to fix it and get back on your routine and get your life back together. Cause I said all the time, we were just in Italy for 10 days. Pizza, pasta, bread every day I ate twice a day. And, uh, and that's like, all right, now it's time to get back on the, on the wagon. Now before, when I was all busted up and, you know, you go see a doctor and they're just throwing pills at you and pills and pills and you never feel good and you feel like shit. And I'm telling you, everybody got some bad news for you. 50, 50 is a whole nother animal. When you turn 50, man, the wheels start coming off the bus and it's just, you can get away with that shit when you're younger. When you get into your 50s, you can't. And, uh, and not just me, friends of mine that I've brought to you and we're all good

• 21:06Speaker 00

  now. I mean, all my friends that I, that I've brought to Gary that are over 50 that I went to school with, we're all good, man. We all feel great. We all feel young. We're all still doing what we love to do and. I imagine that some people that don't have the access to even good healthcare, start to feel a sense of hopelessness like, uh, you know, I can't stop this sleep apnea. I can't stop snoring, you know, my legs hurt, my this, my that. I'm telling you right now, this guy can fix everything. He can fix all your problems. He really is a wizard. It's, it's, it's unbelievable. And, uh, uh, I hope Gary outlives me because I don't, I don't, I don't want to understand.

• 21:50Speaker 00

  I don't want to live in a world where I can't call Gary Brecka when I'm fucked up.

• 21:54Gary Brecka?

  I created a monster because every, you know, often this guy texts me, can I drink this? Can I eat this? What do you think? That's junk. That's junk. That's okay.

• 22:03Speaker 00

  So true, man.

• 22:05Gary Brecka?

  But I created a monster. This guy flies cold plunges around the world and leaves them in hotels all over the world. If you're one of the beneficial like doorman that gets to actually stock his room, you probably have a cold plunge.

• 22:16Speaker 00

  I literally everywhere I go, a cold plunge is set up in my room everywhere. I was just on the boat. I was on a boat in, in Italy and they rented a really nice cold plunge on the boat. And, uh, I don't, it's like the old American express commercials. I don't go leave home without a cold plunge.

• 22:34Gary Brecka?

  You know, I was staying randomly at the Peninsula Hotel in New York and, um, I check in and a few minutes after I check in, there's a knock on the door and he introduced himself. He said, Hey, I'm the general manager of the hotel.

• 22:44Speaker 00

  Samir, the greatest, yeah, greatest GM of any hotel. Unbelievable.

• 22:50Gary Brecka?

  Yeah. And he goes, I know that you're a good friend of, of Mr. White. I just wanted to let you know, he has a cold plunge here and, and, uh, he said, you're welcome to use it. And they brought it into my room and cold plunged the whole time I was there and they took it out.

• 23:02Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 23:03Gary Brecka?

  I was like, Dana's not fucking around, dude. That was, that was great. I know you're tight on time, man. I appreciate you sitting down and, and wrapping this up. It's, it's, it's a beautiful friendship we developed and I, I love being on the journey with your family.

• 23:15Speaker 00

  I love you. Thanks for changing my life, brother.

• 23:17Gary Brecka?

  You're welcome, man. And thank you.

• 23:19Speaker 00

  For saving my life, however you want to call it.

• 23:21Gary Brecka?

  Yeah, you're, you're welcome. It's been a great journey with your family and, uh, I'm looking forward to another three years.

• 23:26Speaker 00

  Me too, brother.

• 23:26Gary Brecka?

  We'll sit down again in three years, guys. And as always, guys, that's just science.
