200. 200th Episode of the #1 Health Podcast in the World! - Dana White, Joe Rogan, RFK Jr. & More!

200 episodes ago, I had a simple dream: put life-changing information on a platform for free, and watch humanity transform. Today, that vision has created the world’s leading health and wellness podcast, featuring conversations with RFK Jr. outlining his $1.9 trillion plan to end FDA corruption, Dana White sharing how his life was saved through basic keto principles and methylated vitamins, and even being invited to the White House with Max Lugavere to continue fighting for health advocacies. The movement to Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) isn’t just a slogan, it’s a science-backed revolution; and we, at The Ultimate Human, continue to fight for this mission!

  Wow, 200 episodes, thousands of hours, millions of live chains, and we're just getting started. What started as a mission to bring real science and life-saving truth to the public has turned into the number one health and wellness podcast in the world. I had this dream that we could change the face of humanity, that we could actually shift mankind by putting information out on a platform for free. And today, we're celebrating this milestone with a special episode packed with our most jaw-dropping moments.

• 0:27Speaker 01

  They made them drink [BLEEP].

• 0:31Gary Brecka?

  Hard-hitting truth bombs.

• 0:33Speaker 02

  The majority of the food on our shelves was not created with health in mind, it was created with profits in mind.

• 0:38Gary Brecka?

  And our fan favorite guest clips.

• 0:40Speaker 03

  That guy say all the time, if I break my arm, I'm going to see a doctor. If something's wrong with me health-wise, I'm calling Gary Brecka. I'm getting Gary on the phone.

• 0:47Gary Brecka?

  And by the grace of God, I've gotten to sit with some of my mentors, the people that I've lucked up to for decades, the scientists, the PhDs, the MDs, the researchers, the people that are really moving the needle. This episode is a thank you, a celebration of this community, this movement, this mission to make America healthy again. I started this two years ago with a dream. I only had one mission in mind.

• 1:22Gary Brecka?

  Wow, 200 episodes, thousands of hours, millions of live chains, and we're just getting started. What started as a mission to bring real science and life-saving truth to the public has turned into the number one health and wellness podcast in the world, and it's all because of you. I'm Gary Brecka. This is our 200th episode of the Ultimate Human Podcast, and today, we're celebrating this milestone with a special episode packed with our most jaw-dropping moments, hard-hitting truth bombs, and our fan favorite guest clips. And yes, some raw, unfiltered bloopers you've never seen before. If you've been with us since day one, or you just joined on this journey, this episode is a thank you, a celebration of this community,

• 2:04Gary Brecka?

  this movement, this mission to make America healthy again. Let's take a look back at the moments that made us laugh, made us learn, and level up together. And I'm joined by a very prominent figure in the space, the leader and the head of the Maha movement, none other than Mr. Bobby Kennedy Jr. himself. Thank you for coming on the podcast.

• 2:24Speaker 04

  Here with you finally.

• 2:25Gary Brecka?

  Happy to have you. We've had like a really kind of an amazing time so far, you know, with the hyperbaric chambers and we basically did some nutritional IVs. And then we just decided to come in the podcast room and chop it up a little bit.

• 2:38Speaker 04

  President Trump named me as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

• 2:42Gary Brecka?

  Yes. Congratulations, by the way.

• 2:44Speaker 04

  The biggest agency of government. It's twice the size of the Pentagon. It's got a 1.9 trillion dollar budget. And, you know, the irony of that is we spend more on healthcare in this country than any other country in the world per capita, two to three times what most European countries spend. And yet we have the worst health of any country in the world. We have the highest chronic disease burden on earth. And the the etiology ultimately of all that disease is corruption. It was now an agency whose primary focus was maximizing corporate profit taking. First of all, the pharmaceutical companies are advertising products that are being paid for by the taxpayer. Then we're paying for all the diseases that that product is causing. Private funding is coming

• 3:27Speaker 04

  from industry. So they cheat. I mean, we call those guys by ostracists.

• 3:33Speaker 04

  Because they, you know, they know what the outcome is and they write the outcome before they write the study. Information is out there, but we also want to respect the intelligence of the American people, you know, the the capacity of people who explore the outcomes that are going to benefit them the most. And, you know, I thank you for what you're doing. And we're going to end the war at FDA.

• 3:54Gary Brecka?

  The one and only Mr. Steve Harvey to the ultimate human podcast.

• 3:59Speaker 05

  Of all that ever stuff you said.

• 4:01Gary Brecka?

  I was like, the whole podcast is just the introduction.

• 4:04Speaker 05

  Waiting on the one and only. I tell you, I found out about you on a Thursday. I got you on the phone on the Friday. On Monday, I was sitting in your office. But here's where it started. I had already done a gene test.

• 4:16Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 4:17Speaker 05

  I just had never done anything with it.

• 4:19Gary Brecka?

  Yeah. You were not supplementing for deficiency.

• 4:21Speaker 05

  You said I need a gene test, but I didn't know it. But in my medical records, I had it.

• 4:26Gary Brecka?

  Yep.

• 4:26Speaker 05

  And then you did my blood work all this on that Monday.

• 4:30Gary Brecka?

  Right.

• 4:30Speaker 05

  And you said Thursday, I will have everything you need.

• 4:34Gary Brecka?

  Yep.

• 4:35Speaker 05

  And buddy, you did not lie.

• 4:38Speaker 05

  But what you did was you educated me on myself and my body because I didn't know. The main thing you taught me that I really learned was you said, there is no one fix for everybody. Right. I've been taking vitamin D pills and my vitamin D was like a what, a 19?

• 4:54Gary Brecka?

  Yeah, 19. It was half the lowest end of the range.

• 4:58Speaker 05

  What's, what's it now?

• 5:00Gary Brecka?

  69. I looked at 96.

• 5:04Speaker 05

  Thank you, Amelia.

• 5:05Gary Brecka?

  We got people off camera.

• 5:07Speaker 05

  I didn't even know she was in here.

• 5:09Gary Brecka?

  I didn't see her behind the couch there either.

• 5:11Speaker 05

  69, nine days, six, now, play it out. We all have it in us. It's just the commitment that you want to make.

• 5:19Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 5:20Speaker 05

  But it's an important commitment, you know, come on, man. You gotta do something to fix yourself because I want to live a long time.

• 5:27Gary Brecka?

  Right.

• 5:27Speaker 05

  Hell, I just got this money.

• 5:32Speaker 05

  I'm trying to. Yeah, I gotta start thinking of some stuff, you know?

• 5:37Gary Brecka?

  Welcome Dr. Keri Sarda to the podcast. And you know, I, I know that from working with you and seeing you treat so many patients, some of the fixes are relatively simple.

• 5:47Speaker 06

  So I think the biggest fallacy that has somehow been created, and I think it, I think it came through the traditional model, as I remember how I was taught, was, okay, so 50 to 55 or something like that. But again, it's because you're not flashing anymore, it just means you're sicker.

• 6:03Gary Brecka?

  Yeah, it doesn't mean that you've gotten through it.

• 6:05Speaker 06

  It doesn't mean, you don't get through menopause. You have to fix it. Even more important than that probably is the fact that if you don't go down that right pathway, you will go down a more dangerous pathway in estrogen. When you have that COMT SNP, that COMT gene, you need to pay special attention to that. You need to make sure you have your nutrients, your B vitamins. You know, we kind of laugh about that time that you were going through, but unfortunately.

• 6:28Gary Brecka?

  You two laugh about that. Let's just clarify.

• 6:31Speaker 06

  Unfortunately, there's so many. So I, every day, all day long, it's.

• 6:37Speaker 07

  Which is why I like to talk about it and lay my crazy out for everybody because I know that if I share that story, somebody else is going to raise their hand and go, well, that's happening to me too. I'm not crazy.

• 6:47Gary Brecka?

  He doesn't know this, but he is actually a mentor of mine, Dr. Mark Hyman. So I'm very, very excited to have you on the podcast because you have liberated me

• 6:58Gary Brecka?

  from a lot of the chicanery and charlatry that people accuse me of.

• 7:02Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 7:03Gary Brecka?

  Is that, is that a word or did I just make?

• 7:04Speaker 05

  Is that a word?

• 7:05Gary Brecka?

  Shorlinetree? Okay, yeah, let's put that in there. Google it.

• 7:10Speaker 05

  My joke is I'm a holistic doctor because they take care of people with a whole list of problems.

• 7:14Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 7:15Speaker 05

  And, and when you get to the root, you don't have to treat each thing separately. We've come together to write a report on the commercial determinants of health. We've heard of the social determinants, which is poverty.

• 7:26Gary Brecka?

  Wow.

• 7:27Speaker 05

  Lack of access to foods, but the commercial determinants of health are the ways in which multinational corporations, food, you know, ag, tobacco, alcohol, corporations privatize profits and subvert public health. There, the organization says that pesticides are safe, that trans fats are good, that smoking tobacco doesn't cause cancer. I mean, I'm not joking here. I was in a movie called Fed Up, which was about childhood obesity with Katie Couric and Laurie David. We did about 10 years ago and I met Bernice King, who's Marla King's daughter. And I said, why don't we show this film at the King Center? I'm like, great.

• 8:01Gary Brecka?

  Yes.

• 8:01Speaker 05

  And so a few days later she called me and said, Mark, we can't show the film. I'm like, why? Because Coca-Cola funds the King Center. The dean of the university said to me, Mark, 50% of the entering class of 18 year old African American women have a chronic disease. And when you look at the, the global burden of disease study, which looked at 195 countries, the number one killer today is not smoking, it's not war, not infections, it's food.

• 8:25Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 8:26Speaker 05

  It's 11 million people and it's, I think that's conservative probably more. It's like two Holocaust a year.

• 8:31Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 8:31Speaker 05

  And this is 100% preventable.

• 8:33Gary Brecka?

  Welcome to the podcast.

• 8:35Speaker 06

  Thank you, Gary Brecka. It's an honor to be here. Thank you.

• 8:38Gary Brecka?

  I wonder if you might talk a little bit about your battle with Lyme, how it shaped where you are today, what you did to overcome it. And for people who think they might have one of these conditions, I'd love to go down the rabbit hole of.

• 8:50Speaker 06

  Absolutely. Well, first of all, you have a lot of the solutions already, but I can, I can, I can like kind of summarize some of them together. But you have a lot of them right here, you know, and that you're talking about that can really help people. But yeah, that was a challenge for me. I was really young. I had, I say this all the time. I used to be a lot of fun.

• 9:10Speaker 06

  I was like.

• 9:10Gary Brecka?

  I still think you're fun. I mean, we had a great conversation.

• 9:14Speaker 06

  Really fun. I was in college. I was.

• 9:16Gary Brecka?

  I used to be really fun.

• 9:19Gary Brecka?

  I've never heard somebody self-deprecate like that.

• 9:21Speaker 06

  Well, I'm serious.

• 9:22Gary Brecka?

  Just a boring old turd.

• 9:24Speaker 06

  That's how I feel. It was really tough because. And, and just for all your listeners, that's when they feel like if someone doesn't believe them, when they have a diagnosis, it's tough.

• 9:34Gary Brecka?

  Oh, yeah.

• 9:35Speaker 06

  I feel like, and I loved talking to you earlier because of your background, I, you know, because I, I review medical data. That's one of the things I've done in my career. And I really think that Lyme disease is a precursor to other things.

• 9:47Gary Brecka?

  Oh, there's no question. Wow.

• 9:49Speaker 01

  Dude.

• 9:49Gary Brecka?

  This is a surreal moment.

• 9:51Speaker 01

  Crazy.

• 9:52Gary Brecka?

  Can we just take this in for a second? That we're at the White House and the message is resonating. By the way, welcome back to the Ultimate Human Podcast. I'm your host, human biologist, Gary Brecka. This is Max Lugavere.

• 10:05Speaker 01

  We must be doing something right to, to, to have gotten this incredible opportunity to be here.

• 10:12Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 10:12Speaker 01

  Yeah. And I'm just, I'm so grateful. I mean, for me, you know, it's, it all goes back to my why. I think you always have to remind yourself in these moments.

• 10:19Gary Brecka?

  Yeah.

• 10:19Speaker 01

  Why it is that you are doing what you do and.

• 10:22Gary Brecka?

  Potentially upend modern medicine in a way that will be catastrophic and, and catastrophic in a good way. Like just getting back to the basic principles of whole food, movement, exercise, you know, sleep, you know, supplementation for deficiency, that this pandemic of chronic disease was exacerbated by chemicals, synthetics and pharmaceuticals not solved by any of those things.

• 10:47Speaker 01

  There's now a bounty of evidence mounting showing us that creatine actually also supports cognitive function, mental health.

• 10:54Gary Brecka?

  Right.

• 10:55Speaker 01

  But it's unclear at this point, how much creatine one needs to take in order for that creatine to be pushed to the brain. It's actually been shown that vegans and omnivores don't differ in terms of their brain creatine saturation.

• 11:09Gary Brecka?

  Oh, wow.

• 11:09Speaker 01

  So the dietary levels don't seem to modulate brain levels.

• 11:12Gary Brecka?

  Wow, I would have thought the opposite, actually.

• 11:14Speaker 01

  That's what I thought. That's what I, that's what I think a lot of people thought.

• 11:16Gary Brecka?

  Yeah, I would have thought the meat eaters would have.

• 11:17Speaker 01

  Exactly.

• 11:18Gary Brecka?

  You know, adequate levels of creatine.

• 11:19Speaker 01

  Right, because meat eaters ingest it through their diets, right? And, and vegans obviously don't because creatine is a carnit nutrient. It's found exclusively in animal source foods.

• 11:27Gary Brecka?

  I was actually talking to Bobby Kennedy about this a few months ago. And we were talking about supplementation, modalities, treatments, care options, functional medicine alternatives that provide a benefit, but have very little chance of harm or no downside consequence. And he was saying how the lanes should be more open to things that may or may not work, but actually don't cause harm.

• 11:53Speaker 01

  Now, it would be amazing to have had a placebo group. It would be amazing to see if it, if we see significant cognition improvements at lower doses because 20 grams again is a high dose. Anybody who's ever had to suck down, you know, 20 grams of creatine sand.

• 12:07Gary Brecka?

  It is a sand, you know.

• 12:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, exactly.

• 12:10Gary Brecka?

  Welcome to the podcast, Courtney Swan.

• 12:12Speaker 02

  Thank you so much for having me.

• 12:14Gary Brecka?

  I'm so excited to have you.

• 12:15Speaker 02

  This is so much fun. We were talking earlier on my podcast about how we just felt like little kids. We're just like so excited. I was watching all my friends eating Dunkaroos and getting Burger King every night for dinner. And I was upset and then I was going home to my amazing, organic, home-cooked meals. And my mom would, my mom would be in the kitchen almost for two hours every night, making everything from scratch.

• 12:35Gary Brecka?

  Which you despised her for at the time.

• 12:36Speaker 02

  Oh, I despised her at the time.

• 12:37Gary Brecka?

  You're like, what about Lucky Charms, Mom?

• 12:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, I was like, I want the McDonald's. Like, I want a Happy Meal. You know, my, my parents' friends and like older generations and a lot of them still hadn't figured it out. And I was so flabbergasted, for lack of a better word, because I was like, this is so simple, right? It's so simple. The things that we're eating and we're putting in our bodies are either fighting a disease or fueling it, you know? And so that really ignited a passion in me. The majority of the food on our shelves was not created with health in mind. It was created with profits in mind.

• 13:07Gary Brecka?

  Today, I'm blessed enough to sit with the father of biohacking, someone who has unbeknownst to him, been a mentor of mine for many years, followed a lot of his teaching. He really opened my eyes to the entire world of biohacking and longevity and anti-aging and life extension. So, welcome to the ultimate human, Dave Asprey. Gary, it was an honor to get to interview you on The Human Upgrade and an even bigger honor to be on your show. Kudos for just teaching millions of people the stuff that matters. Thank you so much, man. Imagine what would happen if you and I picked up everything happening right now. Our little brains, that are actually really intelligent but very slow, they'd be overwhelmed. It'd be like you were on a high dose of LSD all the time.

• 13:52Gary Brecka?

  Right? It would just, there's so much going on, right? Like, what do I pay attention to? Right. So mitochondria, they have to have a decision-making hierarchy. And I figured out what it is because I'm a computer hacker and I created distributed systems and I troubleshoot them for a decade.

• 14:09Speaker 05

  So if you assume that there's billions of mitochondria, all independently sensing reality, they vote with each other to decide what's real. Hmm. It's called quorum sensing. And they do this simultaneously with photons, with chemicals, with magnetism, and with quantum coherence. Wow. And they go, all right, what's going on? Well, what do mitochondria care about? They care about life. And they run the operating system of all life on the planet, even trees, slime molds, politicians, all of them. I like how you said slime molds and then politicians. Was that on purpose? Okay. Depends on the politician, right? So slime molds and politicians. And humans, just to be clear.

• 14:54Speaker 05

  That one got me. You got me with that one.

• 14:57Gary Brecka?

  Welcome to the podcast, Joe Rogan.

• 14:58Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 14:59Gary Brecka?

  Brother, I've had a long time in the making, man. I'm so, I'm so pumped to sit down with you today, man.

• 15:03Speaker 01

  My pleasure.

• 15:04Gary Brecka?

  Fear Factor is being like something you thought would never take off.

• 15:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, I did it because I was like.

• 15:10Gary Brecka?

  You're like, this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

• 15:12Speaker 01

  I'm like, we're gonna stick dogs on people and make them eat dicks. I'm like, I'm in.

• 15:16Gary Brecka?

  And cockroaches.

• 15:17Speaker 01

  All I was thinking, like, this is gonna be great material. I'm gonna have some great material out of this.

• 15:21Gary Brecka?

  I love the show. What finally blew it up? They did some stunt that was like inappropriate, but I forget what it was.

• 15:28Speaker 01

  Well, that was the second time we did it. So we did it for six years. They made them drink donkey cum. They had to play horseshoes.

• 15:38Gary Brecka?

  The first thing that comes to mind, obviously, is how do you get donkey cum?

• 15:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, well, you actually use a cattle prod and you, you stick it up the donkey's butt and then wee, you shock their prostate and they just bust. And then you collect it and then you get some poor kid who's got credit card debt and that kid is on Fear Factor to try to pay off his credit card debt generally.

• 16:05Gary Brecka?

  What do you think the it factor is that separates the Joe Rogan podcast from the rest of the media by such a margin?

• 16:13Speaker 01

  I don't think about it. Maybe that's what it is.

• 16:16Gary Brecka?

  Maybe that's it. No, maybe that's it, dude.

• 16:18Speaker 01

  I just.

• 16:18Gary Brecka?

  I'm just gonna ask what I want to ask. I'm gonna say what I want to say.

• 16:21Speaker 01

  Everybody that I put on the show is the only reason they're on the show is because I want to talk to them. That's the only reason. I never say, ooh, that one's gonna get a lot of views. Ooh, this one would be controversial. I know people think I think that way, but I genuinely don't.

• 16:34Gary Brecka?

  I hate going down the rabbit hole on social media because it's so unreliable, but there are videos of these columns.

• 16:39Speaker 01

  Most reliable thing on earth.

• 16:47Gary Brecka?

  Oh, this is amazing, dude. Welcome back, Dana White. We gotta go do a three year anniversary recap.

• 16:52Speaker 03

  None of this would be happening had I not finally connected with you three years ago.

• 16:58Gary Brecka?

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

• 16:59Speaker 03

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

• 17:00Gary Brecka?

  And it really does.

• 17:01Speaker 03

  Everybody thinks I'm some paid puppet and, uh, you know.

• 17:05Gary Brecka?

  Definitely not. You are a paying puppet.

• 17:08Speaker 03

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

• 17:13Gary Brecka?

  He paid for an IV today.

• 17:14Speaker 03

  But I say it all the time. Three years ago, Carrie Kasem, a good friend of mine, was terrorizing me to meet Gary. And she's like, he's gonna change your life. I didn't want to meet him. I wasn't into this. I didn't believe in any of this. Now I am the complete opposite. 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. 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, but none of this, none of this would be happening right now if it wasn't for you.

• 17:48Gary 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, um, eating whole foods when he came off of a keto diet. Basic supplements, methylated multivitamins, trimethylglycine to bring down homocysteine.

• 18:08Speaker 03

  I'm telling you right now, this guy can fix everything. He can fix all your problems. He really is a wizard. It's unbelievable. I hope Gary outlives me because I don't, I don't, I don't want to understand. I don't want to live in a world where I can't call Gary Brecka when I'm fucked up.

• 18:22Gary Brecka?

  I created a monster. For all of my podcasts, I, I sort of wind down my podcasts the same way by asking all of my guests the same question. And I'm really interested in your answer to this. Um, what does it mean to you to be an ultimate human? I think first and foremost, in the last few years, Gary. I think I've become a much more spiritual. So have I. Partly, partly beginning through our own challenges in life. Everyone has unique challenges and we all suffer. That's part of life in different ways. You know, I've lost both my parents in a very short space of time. I've also had a lot of medical persecution. When you put your head above the parapet, you know, you're going to get attacked.

• 19:06Gary Brecka?

  And, and I found a lot of comfort in spirituality. And what I've learned from that is the most important thing that going back to square one is that

• 19:16Speaker 06

  you can't be a healthy person and you can't have a healthy society unless you have healthy values. So how can I be the best possible human I can be? And what does that mean? It means personal growth. It means lifelong learning. It means giving back to the community and it means making sure I enhance the quality of my relationships with my friends, my family, my so-called partner, whenever that happens. So that for me is my main focus. To be able to access joy when I want to, to access safety when I want to, to access creativity and to access love whenever I want to. So it's on my terms.

• 19:58Gary Brecka?

  My choice.

• 19:59Speaker 06

  And also be a bit badass when I'm driving.

• 20:04Speaker 05

  For me, it means being able to get up, put my barefoot, bare feet on the ground, put the sun in my eyes, hopefully go in the ocean and get some grounding, be in nature and spend time with people I care about in nature. And have the health and the vitality that is necessary to do that. Like being able, for me, the best part of my life is spending time with people I care about in nature. And I need health and I need vitality to do that, whether we're surfing, whether we're climbing mountains, whether we are snowboarding in the mountains or whether we are in the ocean, you know, just in a river. Like that is being the ultimate human. And like my vitality, my energy, my motivation, my strength comes from having a metabolism that works. I think try to be the best version of yourself and

• 20:47Speaker 05

  grow in the right direction every day, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and.

• 20:56Gary Brecka?

  Being a human means we're gonna make mistakes. But as long as you learn from those mistakes and keep moving forward, not veer off track, I think you'll be the best human you could be, hence ultimate human. The ultimate human is to be somebody that makes the plan a little bit better, changes people's lives in a little bit of a better way and give them hope. I think, I think that's critical. I think it's being very responsible for your actions, owning up to it, learning and knowing that you're gonna make mistakes and even telling your kids when they're talking to you that daddy at that age, I was still growing and I'm still growing now. I'm human, right? I think it's giving to those who are not in a good place, you know?

• 21:40Gary Brecka?

  But also testing yourself, you know, too many of us have settled. We're all special. Yeah. You gotta test yourself. Like, what's a life living without testing yourself? It's just, and, and I think we've allowed, many of us allow society or other people to set goals for us. You set your own goals. Like, how can you live without knowing you didn't try? And it's not easy and shit will happen. Yeah. But to be the ultimate human is to do those things.

• 22:13Speaker 03

  If to me, I'm 75 years old and I have all the success and everything, I don't care what I have, if my kids still wanna be around me and their kids wanna be around me, I am an ultimate human. If I'm able to use my God-given abilities to make anywhere I go a better place, whether it's city, company, country, church, directly or indirect impact, I'm, I'm an ultimate human. If, if I'm able to make my parents proud, whether they're here with me or not, just to be able to amplify the last name, the heritage where I come from.

• 22:57Speaker 05

  I'm an ultimate human. Wow. That's, that's how I view that.

• 23:01Gary Brecka?

  You know, I started this two years ago with a dream. I only had one mission in mind, to give without the expectation of receipt. It wasn't to grow an Instagram channel. It wasn't to grow an affiliate link. It wasn't to monetize it. It was to get information that I thought was desperately needed into the hands of the American public. I had this dream that we could change the face of humanity, that we could actually shift mankind by putting information out on a platform for free that could actually be used to practically change lives. The podcast will always be free. The challenges will always be free. The shorts will always be free. And God has been so good to us. We're on our 200th episode and by the grace of God, I've gotten to sit with some of my mentors,

• 23:45Gary Brecka?

  the people that I've lucked up to for decades. You know, my, my mentors are people that are the scientists, the PhDs, the MDs, the researchers, the people that are really moving the needle. It's like if you followed football and Tom Brady walked into your living room and was willing to sit down with you and tell you everything he knew about the game. I mean, this has just been a fascinating journey for me. I prayed for this for a long time and now it's become a reality. I've got a great team around me. I have a great loyal fan base of followers like yourselves. So thank you for joining me for this 200th episode.
