My name is Ben Greenfield, and on this episode

0:02

of the Ben Greenfield Life podcast.

0:04

I misdiagnosis is the third leading cause of

0:06

death in America. I won't say modern medicine

0:08

is the third leading cause, but Modern medicine's

0:10

misdiagnosis, shows more people

0:12

than morbid obesity and diabetes combined.

0:15

What drove me crazy about my previous

0:17

career was that I wasn't allowed to have any

0:19

contact with the patient or any contact with

0:21

the treating physician. So even if I saw

0:24

life threatening drug interactions, I

0:26

couldn't pick up the phone call. Faith,

0:33

family. Fitness, health,

0:36

performance, nutrition, longevity,

0:39

ancestral living, biohacking, and

0:42

a whole lot more. Welcome to the

0:44

show.

0:50

I don't think it's any secret especially

0:52

for those of you who have read my cookbook that

0:54

I guzzle extra virgin olive oil.

0:56

I use it in like everything. Not only

0:58

is it a myth that you're not supposed to cook

1:00

with olive oil because extra virgin olive

1:02

oil actually has a bunch of flavonols and

1:04

polyphenols in it that allow it

1:07

to be pretty heat stable

1:09

even for things like sauteing, baking,

1:11

broiling, etcetera. But the health

1:14

benefits of this stuff, I mean, as far as

1:16

like lowering risk of heart disease, helping prevent type

1:18

two diabetes, certain types of cancer, high

1:20

blood pressure, Alzheimer's disease, obesity.

1:23

I mean, it's basically zero

1:25

carb, low carb, ketogenic, friendly

1:28

to paleo lifestyle, a cornerstone

1:30

of the longevity enhancing Mediterranean

1:33

diet, and as any chef will tell you, that's

1:35

where the flavor is at and a really good extra

1:37

virgin olive oil has amazing

1:39

flavor. The problem with the ones that

1:41

you buy at the grocery store is they're not

1:43

fresh, Right? After six

1:45

months, the polyphenols and antioxidants and

1:47

olive oil starts to degrade. And if you

1:50

actually look at the bottle label,

1:52

at the grocery store of the olive oil that

1:54

you're buying right now. It's older

1:56

than six months. It's in plastic. It's not in

1:58

like that dark glass container. And

2:01

If they're already older than six months at the

2:03

time that you buy them, that means you've sat

2:05

in stores, then in shipping, then in a warehouse, then

2:07

on store shelves, even years growing stale

2:09

and before you even put them in your

2:11

cart. And then a lot of them have

2:14

extra bad oils added to them, particularly

2:16

canola oil. So I go straight

2:18

to the source and get not only the

2:20

world's most delicious artisanal olive oil

2:22

but real fresh, the real

2:24

stuff, extra virgin olive oil. I

2:26

get it from this company called the Fresh

2:28

pressed olive oil club. I've been a member

2:30

for, I think, almost ten years now. I

2:33

get three new bottles sent to

2:35

me Every they're hunted down

2:37

by this guy who's been on my podcast twice. TJ

2:39

Robinson, the olive oil hunter, who

2:41

also does vinniggers now, by the way, that are amazing.

2:43

Have a podcast coming out about that. If it's not already

2:46

out, you're gonna hear it pretty soon.

2:48

But this stuff is the best olive oil I've

2:50

ever used in my life guilt free. It's real.

2:52

It's not come with other stuff. It's not rancid.

2:55

And it even comes with this cool, like, little

2:57

booklet where you could read about the farm where

2:59

it was harvested. Who grew

3:01

it, what it tastes like, tasting

3:03

notes, recipes to use it in, better

3:05

yet. They're gonna give us all a bottle for a buck.

3:07

One bottle that's all over for a dollar. So you can

3:09

taste the difference for yourself. Here is

3:12

where you go for all this. Get thirty

3:14

eight dot com. That's like the number thirty eight.

3:16

Get fresh thirty eight

3:18

dot com, and that's everything you need

3:21

to get this extra version of oil for yourself.

3:24

It's one of the funnest clubs ever. So

3:26

check it out. Extraversion of all this

3:28

real artisanal stuff straight from Oliver Hunter,

3:30

T. J. Robinson, my friend, one of the best

3:32

guys out there in the Oliver industry get

3:34

fresh thirty eight dot com.

3:37

Let's talk about brain fuel.

3:40

You probably are familiar with the macronutrients

3:43

carbideates and bat and protein.

3:45

There's a fourth one. Key tones and

3:47

key tones are powerful. They've

3:50

been scientifically proven to port mental clarity,

3:52

athletic performance, and metabolic health are

3:54

twenty eight percent more efficient at energy

3:56

than sugar alone, meaning you could do more

3:59

with less. And this stuff called

4:01

ketone I q made

4:03

by the good geniuses at HVMN

4:06

is the way to experience the

4:08

magic of ketones without fasting or

4:10

restricting carbohydrates, and

4:12

it allows you to unlock some pretty key

4:14

physical and cognitive benefits on

4:16

demand. You drink this stuff. You don't get

4:18

hungry. I had it yesterday. And when

4:20

I was out snowboarding and didn't wanna think

4:22

about energy bars and curly cheese fries

4:24

and hot chocolate, just one ketone,

4:26

boom, done. This stuff was created

4:28

through a six million dollar contract from the

4:30

US Department of Defense, deep partnerships,

4:32

some top researches in ketone science,

4:34

truly cutting edge drink, and you

4:36

get twenty percent off of it. You go to

4:38

HVMN dot m e slash

4:41

ben g and use code ben g

4:43

twenty for twenty percent off. That's HVMN

4:46

dot m e forward slash

4:48

ben g and use code ben

4:51

g twenty for twenty

4:53

percent off of anything from HVMN.

4:57

So one of the biggest issues when it

4:59

comes to aging poorly is what's called the

5:01

Sinescent cell accumulation. Sinescent

5:03

cells are zombie cells. Stay in your

5:05

body long after their functional lives. They

5:07

waste your energy. They waste your cellular

5:09

resources. And as you get older accumulation, of

5:12

these tinescent cells contributes to slower workout

5:14

recovery, joint stiffness, joint discomfort,

5:17

sluggish, mental and physical energy

5:19

we often associate with aging. It comes

5:21

from tinescent cells. But

5:23

you can naturally eliminate them. There are

5:25

what are called acylytic ingredients that

5:27

are proven, things like fisetin

5:29

and piper long human and cenactive.

5:32

And other research backed ingredients help to

5:34

combat senesence cell accumulation. There's

5:36

one formula that it's like a shotgun formula

5:38

with all the stuff in it that prevents senesence

5:40

cell accumulation. It's called synolytic. It's

5:43

made by Qualia. So Qualia

5:45

packs nine vegan, non GMO,

5:47

gluten free, phenylactic ingredients into one

5:49

formula to provide the most complex

5:52

and complete catalytic support of any

5:54

formula on the planet. They're given a hundred

5:56

day money back guarantee and

5:58

fifteen percent off if you do this.

6:00

Go to neurohacker dot com and

6:02

use code senno Ben, SEN0

6:05

Ben. That's neurohacker dot com,

6:07

use code Senno Ben

6:09

that's gonna give you dramatically better

6:12

aging as you stave off the accumulation of

6:14

these senno lip cells. So check

6:16

it out. Nowhere hacker dot com use

6:18

code sent out Ben on their phenylactic

6:20

formula. Alright. Folks, Gary

6:22

Brecka. Here's Gary's extremely boring

6:24

bio. His co founder and chief biologist

6:26

is something called ten x health. You may have

6:28

heard of it. The guy is blowing up all over the

6:30

place because his protocols particularly

6:33

his superhuman protocol that we talk about on

6:35

today's show actually works.

6:37

He has over twenty years of experience

6:39

in biohacking and functional medicine

6:41

He's trained as a biologist, but he optimizes

6:44

human performance through nutrition, evidence

6:46

based science, and innovative technologies,

6:49

many of which we discussed in this show like

6:51

oxygen, red light, certain

6:53

nutrients, and supplements, movement protocols,

6:55

quantification, and a whole lot more.

6:57

He works with some of the world's top CEOs

6:59

and executives, some of the world's top athletes

7:02

and his methods are unique. They're

7:04

bound to the earth as well as science

7:06

and he does a great job. He's a man After

7:09

my own heart, I recently had the chance to

7:11

visit his home in Miami. Spend a day

7:13

with him. He's a real deal. So I

7:15

hope you enjoy this show and all the show notes.

7:17

For everything Gary and I talk about are gonna be

7:19

at ben greenfield life dot com slash

7:21

BRECK, and at ben

7:24

greenfield life dot com slash breka

7:26

That's also where you can go to access

7:28

the video as well as any of the

7:30

resources that we discuss on today's

7:32

show. So enjoy.

7:34

Gary, I feel like we should probably warm

7:36

up our voices for this show because whether we

7:38

have to do so. Ow, Ow, Ow,

7:40

Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow,

7:42

Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow of pickled

7:44

peppers, the human torch.

7:47

What's the human torch? The lazy goose

7:49

leaped over the hill. So

7:52

alright, folks. I'm here with Brecka. We're

7:54

finally doing it. We spent gosh. This

7:56

morning so far has been fantastic. Oh my

7:58

god. I don't know if every morning for you has

8:00

been but let's let's give folks the rundown

8:02

just in case territory. Super biohacking

8:04

morning. So so for those of you who are not

8:06

familiar with Gary

8:08

or who didn't listen to my introduction to

8:10

Gary for this podcast,

8:13

he knows a lot about human biology,

8:15

in particular how to harness a lot of the

8:17

elements of things like air

8:19

and and light and water

8:21

and electricity to optimize the body.

8:24

And so we began

8:26

today with some beautiful

8:29

breath work out in the sunshine.

8:31

Amazing. That was great. We said about yourself. I'm

8:33

already a little hot pay and then did

8:35

did did a little kinda like a

8:37

croniyama s work session.

8:39

You did some agasco stretching. Yeah.

8:41

And we we got time. We can go through your whole

8:43

little morning routine because it's

8:44

fantastic. Sure. Tell me about the agasco

8:47

stretching while while you start that off?

8:48

It's just a postural realignment, you

8:51

know, pigeon toeing the feet

8:53

in --

8:53

Mhmm. -- and then using some rear

8:55

circles with your with your delts to

8:57

put some stress on the delts and kinda

8:59

realign the traps and changes

9:01

the kyphonic and lordotic curve in

9:03

the spine, get the cerebral spinal fluid going, and

9:06

then you'd use a a firsthand,

9:08

pressed over top of your head, steering

9:10

right at your middle fingers to just

9:12

Yes. Stretch and get that cerebral spinal fluid

9:15

going. I

9:15

mean, the credit really goes to agoskie, not to

9:17

me, and I use it every morning as a way to

9:19

warm up for breath work or cool

9:21

Yeah. We have a mutual friend.

9:23

Brian is Brian is that his name?

9:25

It's Brian Gaskoo. Can't

9:26

remember his last name. Sorry, Brian, if

9:29

you're listening, but Anyways, I

9:31

had discovered eGascu when

9:33

someone had mentioned it to me on a podcast,

9:35

and there was a little five minute video

9:38

on YouTube. It's like five minutes to

9:40

vanish low back pain or something like

9:41

that. And some of those moves we did out in your

9:44

porch -- Exactly. -- I learned domestic.

9:46

I I went to a Tony Robbins event, and then

9:49

afterwards I met Brian -- Yeah. -- and

9:51

Brian gave me just some simple realignment

9:53

techniques to use on a daily

9:54

basis, and I've used them every day. Sense?

9:56

Well, Brian taught my my sons,

9:59

my twin sons how to do

10:01

some of these exercises. And

10:03

we went to a Tony Robbins event in New

10:05

Jersey. Where we're sitting out there, you know, with

10:07

over fifty thousand people in the stadium.

10:10

And and he asks if the greenfield boys can

10:12

come up. You know, my my they were, like, nine

10:14

years old. Got up there on stage with all the

10:16

flashbulbs in the arena, and that that's still a little

10:18

video of it. They're up there on stage leading the whole

10:20

arena through the Gaskoo exercise.

10:22

Yeah. Yeah. I still throw them, you know, I have I

10:24

don't know about you, but I do little movement snacks

10:26

throughout the

10:26

day. I do too. I believe in snacking on

10:29

exercise. Yeah. I think that's just one of the greatest

10:31

tools Yeah. Just to stay mentally

10:33

clear and alert and physically

10:35

focused. I say physically focused too

10:37

because if you're if you're not in

10:39

physically good

10:39

shape, where your body's tired and mind's tired.

10:41

Yeah. So snacking on exercise throughout

10:44

today is an amazing

10:46

way to just keep a level of clean,

10:47

clear, cognizant kind of wake energy

10:51

sustained throughout the day. Yeah. And and even

10:53

though we'll get into some of the sexy

10:55

biohacking technologies, you have got you

10:57

got some amazing tools sprinkled around

10:59

your house that I think people absolutely

11:01

being intrigued with. What I

11:03

appreciated about you and I haven't hung out so much.

11:05

But what I appreciated about you was

11:07

one of the very first things we did after

11:09

the breath work was went outside --

11:11

Mhmm. -- connected with with nature, not just

11:13

the technologies. Tell me about what your what your

11:15

morning walk routine is like.

11:16

So right across from me and right right

11:18

below the Carefully because you know where you live

11:20

now. Yeah. Okay.

11:23

One thousand museum. And

11:25

Miami, but right across is a huge

11:27

open air park. It's got a dog park in the

11:29

middle of museums on either side and two

11:31

thirds of it surrounded by water. So in

11:33

the mornings, I go out there, take my shoes off,

11:35

and I and I do these

11:37

squares around the park. And I call

11:39

it four corners. And in each corner, I just

11:41

do a different basic exercise, some of which

11:43

I learned from you this morning, but a narrow

11:45

squat stretching move, push

11:47

up a static, you

11:49

know, static squad hold

11:51

blank. And each

11:53

one of those corners, it makes the walk go

11:55

fast. It breaks it up. You're not crushing

11:57

your body. It's a great way to wake

12:00

up. A big believer in earthing and

12:02

grounding --

12:02

Mhmm. -- because we actually discharge

12:04

into the earth as

12:05

you mentioned. You did. You slipped your shoes

12:07

off took my shoes off. Afternoon. Neiner. Neiner. Because I

12:09

was wearing the I

12:09

was wearing the cheating sandals. The earth the

12:12

earthrunner sandals with the carbonate. I'm in

12:14

downtown Miami. Gotcha. I'm in a

12:16

strange thing in the world of ranges and the

12:18

condoms are. I keep I keep the feet

12:20

shod. Yeah. But they and I was telling you they

12:22

even make these straps now. They're they're called

12:24

Earth, ERTHE,

12:26

put them on any existing tennis

12:28

shoe, and they turn the

12:29

shoe, a cross train or whatever, and they they

12:31

earth it, the ground is.

12:32

I'm all about

12:33

that. That's an option to go with. But you take your

12:35

shoes off and you walk around the park after that.

12:37

I walk around the park and do some breath

12:39

work at first light in the morning. And

12:41

I love the the the sun comes right

12:43

up over Miami Beach right off the horizon

12:46

of that water. So do breath work

12:48

in the morning, do that agoski

12:50

method, usually have a cup of black

12:52

coffee or maybe with a little fresh

12:54

organic coconut powder. And then I do this

12:56

thing I call four corners, which is go to the park,

12:58

taking my shoes off. And then the four

13:00

corners of the park doing a different exercise

13:02

at each location. Yeah. Yeah.

13:04

Very simple. You know,

13:06

I take my shirt off, I get I get

13:08

natural sunlight. I do it. I've done it in the rain

13:11

before too. I do it when it's cold. I

13:13

just let I don't let the weather dictate whether

13:15

or not I do it because one of my

13:17

core beliefs is that aging is the aggressive

13:19

pursuit of comfort. Mhmm. And

13:21

the more aggressively we pursue comfort,

13:23

the faster or we age, we just collapse all

13:25

of our defense mechanisms who could go into

13:27

a whole podcast on that alone.

13:29

But if it's raining,

13:32

I do the same thing. If it's hot and I do

13:34

the same thing. If it's cold, I do the same thing.

13:36

I don't let the weather dictate whether or not I'm

13:38

out there. I actually kind of prefer

13:40

some of the real inclement

13:41

weather. It's parked by itself. I'll walk out

13:43

there when it's wet. I'll walk out there when it's

13:45

dry. What does that mean? I

13:47

might derail you a few times here as we

13:49

go through your your morning routine team.

13:51

But when you say, we they

13:54

derail our defense mechanisms.

13:56

I assume you're talking about just not

13:58

allowing ourselves to tap into hermetic

14:00

stress or

14:00

something. More static stress means the big one.

14:03

But, you know, we we have a

14:05

tendency to believe that stress is very bad for the

14:07

body. Right? So we have to

14:09

stop telling grandma not to go outside as

14:11

too hot, not to go outside as too cold

14:13

-- Yeah. -- just to lay down, just

14:15

to relax, to eat at the first pang of

14:17

hunger. Because as you know,

14:19

when if we don't load our bones,

14:21

they don't strengthen. If we don't

14:23

tear a muscle, it doesn't grow.

14:25

If we don't challenge the immune system,

14:27

it weakens. So

14:29

in almost every case, you know, physical

14:31

stress strengthens the body, but it also

14:33

strengthens the mind. Yeah. I

14:35

mean, sick fat tired

14:37

people don't build empires. Right?

14:40

Yeah. And so it

14:42

really begins in the

14:44

body before it travels to the

14:46

mind. Same thing with neurotransmitters

14:48

and and and gut health. That that

14:50

gut brain connection is very much

14:52

the same as a physical brain connection.

14:54

Yeah. And so I believe

14:56

that healthy hermetic stresses,

14:59

thermal stresses, weight

15:02

bearing stresses are very good for the body. I mean, you

15:04

wanna live a long time and I happen to have a core

15:06

competency and and in

15:08

low science of longevity and

15:09

mortality. You know, lift heavy

15:12

weight and stress the body on a regular

15:14

basis. Yeah. You know,

15:16

when you talk about your

15:18

history in the science of mortality

15:20

and longevity, And don't

15:22

worry. We'll get back to some of the other cool things

15:24

that we got up to this morning after the walk.

15:26

But III would love to

15:28

hear a little bit more about

15:30

what got you interested in this. Because before I came

15:32

to Miami, you and I talked to

15:34

the phone. And I always thought you

15:36

were just some biothacker who

15:39

was interested in the body and, you

15:41

know, eventually took all the things

15:43

you learned and started to do with other

15:45

people. But you had a very interesting

15:46

start. You were in, like, insurance

15:49

adjusting or something. A

15:50

very specific area of insurance,

15:53

which was the science

15:55

and the predictability of

15:57

mortality. It's called probabilistic mortality

16:00

modeling. Okay. So if

16:02

we got five years of medical

16:04

records on you, and years of demographic

16:06

data, and we could tell the insurance

16:08

company how long you had to live to

16:10

the

16:10

month. You see because the database

16:12

to the month to the moon. This wasn't

16:15

like methylation clocks and

16:16

horvath aging and telomeres. This

16:19

was just looking at epidemiological data.

16:21

Epidemiological data, but with the one thing you

16:23

have to remember that insurance companies have,

16:25

that no other clinical study has, no

16:27

other medical enterprise has, no

16:29

other published trial has. No

16:32

medical enterprise of any type

16:34

has is that they know the day, the

16:36

date, the time, the location,

16:38

and the cause of death for

16:41

everyone that they've issued an annuity, a

16:43

life insurance, or or a reinsurance

16:46

policy on, even a reverse mortgage. You

16:48

wouldn't believe the number of financial services

16:51

products that are actually based on how many

16:53

more months you have left on earth. And

16:55

so when you have the endpoint,

16:57

you can trace it back to causality.

16:59

You see, in a clinical

17:01

study, we know that, for example,

17:03

obesity shortens your lifespan

17:06

by x number of years. You know, type two

17:08

diabetes shortens your lifespan by x

17:10

number of years. This is all data

17:12

that's used on actuarial

17:15

tables. How do we put somebody on an actuarial table?

17:17

But when you talk about specific

17:19

mortality, they have tens

17:21

of millions of

17:23

deaths, and they trace that

17:25

endpoint back to its

17:27

causality. If this database could see

17:29

the light of

17:30

day, it would permanently change the face of

17:33

humanity. It would upend modern medicine in a way

17:35

that would absolutely be catastrophic. And

17:37

that information's like private?

17:39

The insurance companies are

17:41

the polar opposite of Google and Facebook. They collect

17:44

the luminous amounts of information, but

17:46

they don't share it with anybody. They use

17:48

it to price financial service products

17:50

against you. I mean, think about it. If they're gonna take out

17:52

a twenty five million dollar or fifty

17:54

million dollar life insurance policy on your life,

17:56

like, we're term life insurance

17:58

policy. We're usually talking about

18:00

universal life policies -- Okay. -- that that that are gonna

18:02

last until the day that you that

18:04

you die. So they don't expire

18:06

after ten years or twenty years. They're trying to

18:08

predict when that date is going to occur so that they

18:10

don't get stuck with the bill. Exactly. But if

18:12

you think they're taking twenty five million

18:14

or fifty million worth of risk on

18:16

one variable. There's only a

18:18

single variable that matters.

18:20

And that's how many more months do you have left on

18:22

earth? How many more months are they gonna predict

18:24

or that they're gonna collect that

18:27

premium? Okay. And you're working for one of these companies? I

18:29

was actually working for multiple companies. So

18:31

we did life expectancies, and

18:33

we did these probabilistic models

18:36

to to basically take a

18:38

portfolio of life insurance that --

18:40

Yeah. -- one life insurance company is going

18:42

to acquire. And and

18:45

let them know if the mortality

18:47

predictions were accurate or

18:49

not. Okay. Because think about it. If you're

18:51

and do you put twenty five million dollars worth of

18:53

risk on somebody's life? And you don't

18:55

collect enough premiums to offset

18:57

that risk because your mortality prediction

18:59

was a real shitty business was kind of a

19:01

really shitty business model. And if you wanna know how

19:04

accurate they are, just look at the last

19:06

financial services crisis. We had three

19:08

hundred and sixty four

19:10

banks failed. Not a single life

19:12

insurance company failed. Not one.

19:14

Really? Not a single life insurance

19:16

company failed. This is

19:18

how accurate and well reserved they are because they had

19:20

perfected the science of

19:22

mortality. So what'd you find

19:24

out? If I was to boil my

19:26

entire career, down

19:28

to one sentence. I say this all the

19:30

time, it would be that the

19:32

presence of oxygen is the absence

19:34

of disease. Presence of oxygen is

19:36

the absence of disease. Yes. We

19:38

did we did not find a

19:40

single disease eatological pathway.

19:43

That did not either have its roots in

19:45

the absence of blood oxygen or

19:47

was not severely exacerbated

19:49

by the absence of blood oxygen. Can you give me an

19:51

example? Hypoxia, you

19:53

know, all cancer begins in a

19:55

hypoxic

19:55

environment. Type two diabetes

19:58

begins in a hypoxic environment. Cancer,

20:00

generating energy, anaerobically, producing

20:02

lactic acid, tissue acidosis, and

20:05

springing upon you to create that angiogenic

20:07

effect. Okay. To eventually provide

20:09

oxygen to grow a tumor, but the genesis

20:11

of that tumor begins in hypoxia.

20:13

Okay. I mean, how does cancer decide where

20:15

it's going to metastasize to

20:17

It looks for a focal area of hypoxia, and

20:19

it sets up shop in that area. Okay.

20:22

And if you look at anemia,

20:25

Cidentary lifestyle. These are leading causes

20:27

of all cause mortality. Sitting

20:29

is the new smoking. But why is

20:31

Cidentary lifestyle? And

20:33

why does sitting become the new smoking?

20:35

Because sedentary lifestyle is

20:37

a foundation for hypoxia.

20:40

less we move, the less we breathe, the

20:42

more poorly we manage oxygen,

20:44

not only the faster we're accelerating towards

20:46

the grave, but the faster

20:48

the parabolic curve of all cause

20:50

mortality. So we could predict

20:52

the onset of and

20:54

the severity of disease based

20:56

on your hypoxia condition. If you have

20:58

anemia, for example,

21:00

and it's non responsive, you

21:02

have the mutation, you don't respond to folic

21:04

acid, you only respond to methyl folate,

21:06

for example, and you have

21:08

a cardiovascular condition. Atherosclerosis

21:11

or arteriosclerosis, you can

21:14

predict how much more quickly

21:16

that will accelerate based

21:18

on a normal table of

21:20

atherosclerotic -- Really? --

21:22

progression. Okay.

21:23

And I I know if I'm wondering this,

21:26

other people might be also, but

21:28

of course, we seek

21:31

out, in some cases, as

21:33

health enthusiasts, hypoxia,

21:35

like you and I when we were doing the breath work out

21:37

in the pouring. Like, we got to certain sections

21:39

where we're blowing all of our air out and

21:41

holding that for as long as possible. Or

21:43

some people do I don't know if you've ever been

21:45

like a CVAC chamber. Which which

21:47

is

21:47

hypoxic. Or I even do like

21:50

you do exercise with oxygen

21:52

therapy --

21:52

Mhmm. -- but I have a little switch on

21:55

that that therapy device I use

21:57

that pulls being the hypoxia, it gets

21:59

my pulse o two down,

22:01

like my blood oxygenation down,

22:03

and then it goes back up when once I get that surge

22:05

of oxygen, but you're

22:07

not saying that all hypoxies bad.

22:10

Right? It seems like

22:11

there's like a hermetic effect to having

22:13

periods of time with longs. No, systemic

22:16

hypoxia. Okay. Long duration hypoxia

22:19

is Short term exposure to hypoxic conditions or

22:21

even altitude can actually

22:23

improve oxygen transport. If you look at the

22:25

way that a healthy body responds to

22:27

a high a condition, it increases urothelialysis. Right?

22:29

So that increase in

22:31

urothelialysis offsets altitude.

22:34

Okay. But if you

22:36

weren't offsetting that

22:38

altitude and you put yourself in a

22:40

hypoxic environment, your body didn't

22:42

offset that oxygen deficit. You would

22:44

have severe long term consequences

22:46

for

22:46

that. Now besides the hypoxic state, and

22:48

this might be a loaded question. I don't know.

22:51

But I'm I'm sorry. Besides the sedentary state, like you

22:53

alluded to it, the sitting is the new

22:55

smoking. What type of other factors have you

22:57

identified that seem to be pretty

22:59

associated with people being in this

23:01

hypoxic

23:01

state? Nemic conditions, age

23:04

related sarcopenia

23:05

that actually collapses the respiratory

23:07

rate, the respiratory volume. A muscle

23:09

loss. And muscle inability oxygen to lack of muscle.

23:12

Yes. Okay. Lack of I mean, muscle is our

23:14

metabolic currency. Yeah. I mean, there's a

23:16

direct correlation between early

23:18

onset disease. And

23:20

even early onset death and

23:23

and your your muscle volume, the percentage

23:25

of muscle that you have. I mean, muscle really

23:27

is armetabolic currency. We're realizing now that

23:29

muscle is more important in

23:31

older ages --

23:32

Yeah. -- than flex I've been starting to pay

23:34

attention to that doctor Gabriel

23:36

Lyon who does a lot of she calls it muscle

23:38

centric

23:38

medicine. I think she's writing a book about it. I'll

23:41

have to get her on the I'm a big fan.

23:42

I I follow her on this one too.

23:45

Yeah. So So sarcopenia

23:47

loss of muscle would be one thing associated

23:49

with hypoxia -- Mhmm. -- sedentary

23:51

lifestyle, anemia, and I

23:53

assume by anemia, you don't just

23:56

mean low iron. I don't just

23:58

mean low iron, like because there's that guy

24:00

Morley Robbins now who talks a lot,

24:02

the copper ratios and the issue and some

24:04

people supplement with iron and it

24:06

causing things like hemochromatosis,

24:09

without adequate copper on board. So I assume it comes down to

24:11

more than just, like, supplement on it? Yes. It comes down. I

24:13

mean, that's a broad category. Okay. I mean, there is a

24:15

lot of people that we would find that had anemic

24:17

condition, low red blood cell, low hemoglobin

24:19

-- Uh-huh. -- and they were

24:21

non responsive to therapy. So for example,

24:23

take a patient

24:26

that has homozygous

24:29

MTHFR gene mutation. They're

24:31

they're poor folate metabolizers.

24:33

These people don't respond to conventional therapies,

24:36

folic acid, b twelve, and iron,

24:38

which is normally what they would give somebody who's in

24:40

anemic condition. And so these

24:42

become chronic. now chronic anemia,

24:44

if you look at the type three

24:46

diabetes, one of the early links

24:48

to Alzheimer's. In fact, in my twenty

24:50

to your career, I

24:52

didn't see a single early

24:54

onset Alzheimer's patient, not

24:56

one, that did not have at least ten

24:58

years of elevated blood sugar prior to.

25:00

And -- Oh, wow. -- this

25:03

myth that people are losing their memory is not

25:05

really true. They're

25:07

losing access to their memory. So

25:09

it's not the memory that's actually fading. It's

25:11

the access to the memory that's

25:14

fading because neurosynaptic junctions

25:16

get full of eventually amyloid

25:18

plaques. But that

25:20

viscosity changes a long time

25:22

before you actually have these

25:24

issues with with

25:25

memory, which

25:26

is why a more stable source of fuel

25:28

like ketones or coconut oil,

25:31

etcetera, can be very beneficial

25:33

for Alzheimer's or dementia because it's

25:35

staving off the the diabetic

25:36

condition in the brain. You know what else I think?

25:39

Insulin resistance in the brain. And I don't know if you've

25:41

thought about this much at all before but I

25:43

think part of it in addition to

25:45

the presence of

25:47

too much carbohydrate and glucose

25:49

and neural tissue It's also

25:51

the lack of choline precursors

25:54

that one gets from lots of healthy fats.

25:56

There's a guy named Duane

25:58

Goodingout wrote a book called BreakingAlzheimer's. Mhmm.

26:01

And that book goes into Plazmallogen

26:03

Deficiencies. Plazmallogen being these

26:06

tiny fat based molecules

26:08

that he has found

26:10

are heavily associated with onset of

26:12

this type three diabetes. Turns out that

26:14

the main precursor for plasma

26:17

agents is the type of choline that

26:19

we'd find in eating

26:21

a lot of grass fed beef for walnuts and and

26:24

other seeds and nuts and avocados and

26:26

olive oil and all these things we know are healthy

26:28

for the brain. So it's

26:30

kinda like that one two combo

26:32

of sugar excesses and

26:34

plasma collagen deficiencies that

26:36

seems to result in this type three

26:39

diabetes onset. No question. And and so back to the

26:41

oxygen piece. So we got a sedentary

26:43

lifestyle. We got sarcopenia.

26:45

We have some form of anemia.

26:48

Not necessarily everybody needs to go rush out iron, but something related

26:50

to MTHFR or iron

26:52

copper or or, you know, that's why I put raw

26:54

liver and my spoon every morning, which

26:56

I'm gonna get you on the bandwagon for.

26:57

I'm I'm not quite there

27:00

yet. Just smoothie this morning. I feel

27:02

pretty

27:02

good right now. So we'll we'll get to the smoothie

27:04

eventually because we got back and a walk, and then

27:06

we eventually get to that. But

27:08

what what other biggies? Well, we're

27:10

talking about the reasons for hypoxia. Do

27:12

you think you could recognize it as the main

27:14

ones for people

27:15

about. There's any others. Poor methylation. Poor

27:19

poor poor use of

27:21

mitochondrial nitric oxide and oxygen at

27:23

the mitochondrial level. Okay. And if

27:26

you look at older

27:28

ages and respiratory volumes,

27:30

you know, one of the things that we would look at

27:32

is that how well they So

27:34

if you take a patient that had we

27:36

had what was called morbidities and

27:40

comorbidities. Okay. So you had a certain disease condition, if

27:42

you had type two diabetes, and

27:44

you would get a die you would get a debit.

27:46

If you were morbidly obese, you would get a debit.

27:48

If you were hypertensive, you would get a

27:50

debit. But if you put all

27:52

of these debits into the same body,

27:54

it's not one plus one

27:56

plus one equals three. It's one plus one

27:58

plus one equals ten.

28:01

And so we realized that the presence

28:03

of oxygen was the absence of disease

28:05

and that the deficiency in

28:07

oxygen was the presence of a lot

28:09

of diseases, not only the onset of, but the

28:11

severity of disease. And towards the tail end

28:13

of my career, we started to delve deep

28:15

into methylation pathways. And I

28:17

think the methylation is one of the most overlooked

28:20

areas in all of modern medicine

28:22

Brecka it doesn't assume that

28:24

what goes into your body and goes into mine and goes into everyone

28:27

listening to this podcast is treated

28:29

exactly the

28:29

same. Yeah. Right? That's the biggest fallacy

28:32

in modern medicine. If

28:34

I was gonna come to you, how would you test me for methylation? Is this like

28:36

one of those salivary genetic tests? It's

28:38

a salivary genetic test, methyl detox

28:41

profile. Okay. You can get way down the rabbit

28:43

hole of methylation. So what

28:46

I prefer to do is look at

28:48

the big five genes

28:50

of actionable

28:52

genes of methylation because it's no use

28:54

looking at genes where you

28:56

can't supplement for their

28:57

deficiency. Right? So you know

28:59

the actual Would this be the

29:02

alleles that you're looking at? The

29:04

the jeans and their sub alleles. So for

29:06

example, MTHFR has two big

29:08

alleles C6 seventy 7TA

29:10

twelve ninety eight c. Those are the big

29:12

known ones. Okay. But you look at

29:14

people that have homozygous breaks

29:17

meaning both parents gave them the gene

29:19

mutation. Okay? And

29:21

depending on where that allele is,

29:23

they have a predictable

29:26

deficiency. And it's that deficiency that leads

29:28

to some of the most common conditions

29:30

that we accept as a

29:32

consequence of aging. I mean, most

29:34

people listening to this podcast are walking around right

29:37

now, somewhere between fifty five

29:39

and sixty percent of their true state

29:41

of normal. And what what I

29:43

mean when I say that is, if

29:45

they haven't looked at their own

29:47

methylation pathways, if they're not supplementing

29:49

for certain deficiencies, I'm not a huge

29:51

believer in just supplementing for the sake of

29:53

supplementing. I believe that we supplement

29:55

for deficiency in the human body, and when

29:57

we do, magnificent things

29:59

happen. You know, the majority of

30:01

disease that we believe is

30:03

genetically inherited disease

30:05

doesn't have a genetic link at all.

30:07

The majority of disease that's passed

30:10

from generation to generation hypertension,

30:13

hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypothyroidism,

30:17

depression anxiety, ADD,

30:19

ADHD, these conditions that

30:21

run-in families do not

30:23

have a gene directly associated

30:25

with that

30:25

deficiency. Okay. What

30:26

they have

30:27

is a methylation pathway

30:30

deficiency. Okay. And

30:31

so what this means is they

30:33

can't refine a certain raw

30:35

material that can turn folic acid

30:37

into methyl

30:38

folate. Now they have a deficiency

30:40

in methyl folate. Okay. Which is why if

30:41

you're having like a multivitamin or

30:44

cereal fortified with folic acid, it could

30:46

do any

30:46

more harm

30:46

than good. The worst I mean,

30:48

most people don't even realize that folic acid is an entirely man made

30:51

chemical. Right? When you can't find folic acid

30:53

anywhere on the surface of the earth, it

30:55

doesn't occur anywhere naturally in

30:57

nature. Neither does, you know, the most

30:59

common form of b twelve. Right?

31:02

Cyanocobalamin, hydrogen cyanide

31:04

based b twelve. Three forms of b

31:06

twelve current naturally in nature, the

31:08

adenosine, the hydroxy and the

31:10

methyl. But the cyanide

31:13

based form which generally comes from

31:15

human sewage, from

31:17

the sludge from human sewage.

31:19

When you bind hydrogen cyanide,

31:22

to the cobalt metal and create

31:24

a b twelve molecule.

31:26

The body not only doesn't recognize

31:28

that it has to convert it into

31:30

a natural form of b twelve to even

31:32

use it. So a lot of times

31:35

are supplements because we

31:37

use single dose

31:39

toxicity in the United States, one of the few

31:41

civilized nations in the world that uses

31:43

single dose toxicity. Right?

31:45

Which means that if I give

31:47

you something in a capsule or a

31:49

pill, and there is some arsenic

31:51

in there or there's some hydrogen

31:53

cyanide in there. There's some other toxic

31:55

chemical in there. As long as it doesn't have

31:57

an effect on you in that dose,

32:00

then it's safe to give it to

32:00

you. But we don't take

32:03

into account cumulative dose

32:05

toxicity. Right? Nobody gets mercury

32:07

poisoning from one sushi

32:08

meal. Yeah. We don't test what happens over time is what you're saying.

32:11

We don't test what

32:11

happens over time. By the way, did you say that

32:13

b twelve, one of the synthetic forms of it

32:16

is considered from human

32:18

sludge? Like, what do you mean? Sewage. Yeah. So

32:20

what do you mean? So when we process

32:22

human sewage, there's a

32:24

foamy yellow substance that they discard.

32:28

And it's called sludge. And

32:30

that sludge is is almost

32:32

purely hydrogen cyanide.

32:35

And so we can take that sludge, not not

32:37

we, certainly not me. But you can take

32:39

that that sludge, you can dry it

32:41

into a powder, you bind it to the

32:43

cobalt metal, which all be twelve is

32:46

cobalt metal. You bind it to the

32:48

cobalt metal, and now you have cyano

32:50

rebound and cyanide base b twelve. Wow.

32:52

And I and a lot of people say, oh,

32:54

Gary, it doesn't matter that dosage won't harm you,

32:56

but it's again, it's not the or

32:58

the dosage determines the poison. That's not true. The

33:01

cumulative dosage determines the

33:03

poison. If you're okay putting small amounts of

33:05

mercury in your body every

33:07

day, It won't be the small amounts that you put in every day.

33:09

It will be the accumulation of that

33:11

heavy metal that

33:12

causes. Okay. Gotcha. So

33:15

obviously, we talk about methylation loan for --

33:17

Yeah. -- a couple of Yeah. I don't want to write down the rabbit

33:19

hole. I I wanna give people the the

33:21

big bird's eye overview of some of these

33:23

issues related to to hypoxia. Mhmm. So

33:25

we talked about sedentary lifestyle. We

33:28

talked about sarcopenia. We talked

33:30

about the the methylation issues

33:32

and anemia related

33:34

issues. One thing I've noticed that

33:36

you're also very keen on is

33:38

light exposure. Is there a link between light

33:40

exposure in in a hypoxic state?

33:42

Well, there's not a direct link between light

33:45

exposure in a hypoxic state, but most

33:47

people don't wake themselves up in the

33:49

morning. They use stimulants

33:51

to wake themselves up instead of

33:53

waking naturally. Yeah. So you know about

33:55

first light, I'm not teaching you anything that you don't

33:57

know, but that first forty five minutes of the day is

34:00

very special blue light, not like the blue light

34:02

that comes from your phone. Yeah. There's no

34:04

UVA, there's no UVB. You can't

34:06

look straight at the sun, but you can absorb

34:08

those rays. You still create colic alcalfa for all. Right? And you

34:10

still actually will generate vitamin d three

34:12

in the morning from morning

34:13

light, but you don't have the Really? You

34:15

can still generate colic alcalfa for

34:17

all even once kinda like red ish

34:19

outside? Oh, you can still generate cold calcitriol in the cloudiest

34:22

of days. You don't need much

34:24

sunlight to generate vitamin

34:26

d

34:26

three. Lot of people say you gotta go

34:28

out between, like, ten AM

34:29

and two PM to really get vitamin d, but

34:31

you can actually get it in the morning. Get the

34:33

highest I use time spent.

34:35

Yeah. But that's patently false. I mean, you generate the cholic acid

34:37

for all even through diffuse light that's passing through windows

34:40

-- Yeah. -- on a very, very,

34:42

you know, on a

34:44

much more conservative basis. And

34:46

then obviously, it also depends on pigment of

34:48

the skin. I mean, one of the reasons

34:50

why we heard in that COVID

34:52

disproportionately affected minorities, had

34:54

nothing to do with their minority status, had to

34:56

do with the pigment of their skin, and clinical

34:58

deficiencies in vitamin d three. Really?

35:01

So insurance companies have been on this

35:03

for years. I mean, if I saw

35:05

a dark pigmented, you know,

35:07

patient that submitting for a life insurance policy that was

35:09

clinically deficient in vitamin D three had

35:12

maintained this deficiency for a number

35:14

of years. I would

35:16

essentially extend that condition to

35:18

being chronic. And so,

35:20

one of the second things we discovered in

35:22

in the mortality space was not

35:24

just that the President of oxygen was the

35:26

absence of

35:27

disease, but the majority of conditions

35:29

that people faced were what

35:31

we called modifiable

35:33

risk factors. I'm on the road right now. I was actually on a

35:36

walk last night and I walked

35:38

past one of these

35:40

juicery places. And of course,

35:42

they sell these, you know, super expensive high

35:44

end cold pressed juices.

35:46

But man, are they expensive? But

35:48

back in my bag, I've

35:50

just got one little canister of super easy to

35:52

travel with powder that does all the same

35:54

stuff with me and I could literally have a

35:56

juice every day for two weeks

35:58

of travel and it would cost about

36:00

the same as one juice at one of these

36:02

juicers. The other cool thing is

36:04

I don't talk about the sugar, like the eighteen

36:06

apples and three bananas they

36:08

pack into those juices at the average juice rate.

36:11

Instead, the stuff that I use has less

36:13

than three grams of sugar per serving.

36:15

It's also glyphosate free, full organic,

36:17

free of fillers, and

36:19

uses the highest quality plant based ingredients

36:22

in powders like green,

36:24

red, gold, you name it.

36:26

Very, very great tasting

36:28

as A super food blend that you just mix with water or your

36:30

favorite beverage while you're on the go.

ben. I've worked to achieve many

37:08

things in life, but my greatest yet

37:10

most humbling work I think has

37:12

been with my role as a father.

37:14

Parenting is

37:16

blissful. Brewed whole, far beyond anything I ever could have anticipated, my

37:18

sons are not teenagers. And the people

37:20

around us who engage with them often ask

37:23

if write a book on raising children

37:26

and education and legacy and

37:28

discipline and all this stuff that goes into

37:30

raising a good child, a good

37:32

human. Now, I didn't feel that

37:34

qualified to write a parenting guide.

37:36

So I gathered a team of parenting

37:38

superstars, dozens of my

37:40

friends, entrepreneurs, authors, neurologists,

37:42

psychologists, family coaches, a whole lot

37:44

more. I got all their best tools,

37:46

techniques, perspectives, habits. And

37:48

again, everything from education, to discipline, to

37:51

travel, to rights of passage and beyond. And I

37:53

put it on one massive book that's

37:55

like the guide to

37:58

parenting. So it's now available. It's at boundless parenting book dot

38:00

com, and that's where you can preorder

38:02

your copy today. So boundless parenting book

38:05

dot com it has been an absolute adventure putting this thing

38:08

together after you're gonna love

38:10

it. What

38:11

drove me crazy about my

38:14

previous career was that I wasn't

38:16

allowed to have any contact with the patient or

38:18

any contact with the

38:20

treating

38:20

physician. So even if I saw life threatening drug interactions,

38:22

I couldn't pick up the phone. Your hands

38:24

are tied. You're just sitting there knowing

38:27

all these issues and seeing

38:30

the big picture that all these people

38:32

who are dying early --

38:33

Mhmm. -- are hypoxic. And

38:35

you at that at that point, were you trained in

38:37

biology? And I

38:38

was a human biology. You knew all the Not

38:40

a grad school.

38:41

But you were just handcuffed. All you could do is look at the data

38:43

and you could do the thing about And even

38:45

I made more than one trip to

38:47

human resources to say I need to call

38:49

this patient -- Yeah. -- because

38:51

they've been misdiagnosed. Or they're

38:54

about to take a contraindicated medication

38:56

that's gonna cause a thrombolytic

38:58

event. Okay.

39:00

And you know, certainly prosecution. If I contacted that patient, they

39:02

said, well, not only fire you, we'll prosecute you.

39:04

Yeah. And I understand

39:06

because I'm not licensed to

39:08

medicine, so they didn't some, sitting in a room

39:11

looking at medical data. But I promise you if

39:13

I had called their doctor or called that

39:15

patient and said, hey, Stop

39:18

taking the corticosteroid, start taking some vitamin D3, and I

39:20

think you'll see that your joint pain goes

39:23

away because there's a perfect example

39:25

of what I'm talking about with deficiencies

39:28

leading to conditions people

39:30

don't have. You know, misdiagnosis

39:32

of third leading cause of

39:35

death in America. I won't say

39:37

modern medicine is a third leading but modern

39:40

medicines misdiagnosis. Kills

39:43

more people than morbid obesity and

39:46

diabetes combined. And

39:48

it's third only to

39:50

cancer and cardiovascular

39:52

disease. Right? So misdiagnosis kills more people with

39:54

the exception of cardiovascular disease

39:56

and cancer. And what has

39:59

you're not talking about somebody operating on your left leg instead of

40:01

your right leg because it's labeling properly. It won't

40:04

won't be an example of misdiagnosis

40:06

though.

40:07

T k Take a patient that has a severe deficiency

40:09

in vitamin d three. For example, if

40:11

you clinically deplete that nutrient from the

40:13

human body for a

40:15

decade or longer, That person

40:17

will present with rheumatoid arthritis like symptoms. Their

40:20

history will read exactly

40:22

parallel to rheumatoid arthritis. So

40:26

more than hundreds of times, I saw patients

40:28

with long term clinical deficiencies in

40:30

D3 going to the primary care

40:34

physician and they would say, look doc, you know, the soles of my feet, my ankles

40:36

are sore when I get out of bed in the morning.

40:38

My hips are stiff every day. My knees have

40:40

have been hurting for the last two and

40:43

a half years. It's steadily increased. I mean, recently, it's hard for

40:45

me to make a fist and

40:47

then doctors, you know what?

40:49

You've got rheumatoid arthritis. I'm gonna

40:51

hit you with some high dose prednisone. I'm gonna put you on

40:53

what's called a corticosteroid. And you're just gonna take these

40:55

orally for the rest of your life and you're gonna be

40:57

fine. What we

41:00

knew in the insurance space because

41:02

we had mortality data that you, if you started corticosteroids,

41:04

you had six years

41:07

and one day, until you're having

41:09

a joint replacement. It was

41:12

so accurate then that we would if you were

41:14

a sixty year old female

41:16

misdiagnosed with rheumatoid that you

41:18

didn't have, because you had a deficiency in D3I would advance your

41:20

age six years in one day. I would

41:22

schedule your joint replacement, and then I

41:24

would begin to reduce what was called your

41:26

ambulatory profile.

41:28

How well you ambulate it. As I reduce motility or mobility, I

41:30

can actually bring in all the diseases that

41:32

exacerbate with a reduction in

41:36

mobility. So now you can predict the onset of and the severity of

41:39

disease. And now

41:41

this person has been diagnosed with

41:43

a condition they don't have. Put

41:45

on a medication they didn't need,

41:48

which caused them to have a joint replacement that

41:50

wasn't required. That

41:52

reduced their ambulation and it brought all cause

41:54

mortality closer from

41:56

the

41:56

future. Yeah. So now they were dying

41:58

of conditions they never should have

42:02

had because they had surgeries that they never needed

42:04

from medication that was never

42:06

required from a diagnosis

42:08

that

42:09

was based on their history

42:12

is interesting. Back to muscle centric

42:14

medicine, this this is a study that I

42:16

saw a couple of months ago. I don't recall what

42:18

journal it was in. But it was

42:20

highlighting a lot of the reasons

42:22

for sarcopenia. No. And

42:24

and, you know, there there are multiple in the

42:26

lack of of lifting weights, and

42:28

I think vitamin d may have been in

42:30

there, etcetera. But the the

42:33

two biggies were low amounts of bioavailable

42:35

protein. Mhmm. And then the other one, and this this one

42:37

really left out when I was like, can't I really thought

42:39

about it that way, but it

42:42

is interesting. It was

42:44

gradual loss of muscle and

42:46

fitness due to periods of

42:48

inability related to surgery medical

42:50

treatments or injuries -- Mhmm. --

42:53

meaning let's say that that you're a nice robust

42:55

like thirty year old muscular gal

42:58

or or guy listening to this

43:00

and maybe five years from now, you gotta get a little surgery

43:02

for, I don't know, kidney

43:04

issue and maybe a

43:06

colonoscopy puts you

43:08

up for three or five days after that and then maybe you break your legs.

43:10

So all these things string

43:12

together and you have like these periods

43:14

of time over,

43:16

let's say, when you're thirty to

43:18

sixty during any given year where you're

43:20

just totally down and out for like twenty

43:22

days and those build up year after

43:24

year after year. And it kinda makes

43:26

sense intuitively. But until I saw it in this

43:28

study in front of me, like, oh, periods of

43:30

inactivity related to medical issues

43:32

are in addition to low

43:33

bio, low protein, the number one class for penet.

43:35

That's why all the, you know, all the great

43:37

biohackers talk about consistency over time.

43:39

Yeah. It's consistency. It is keeping yourself tuned in

43:41

the game, which which is that it's

43:43

huge versus doing the marathon workout on on

43:45

the weekends or whatever. Now I wanna

43:48

learn a little bit more because I'm

43:50

intrigued about where you got to where you're at now

43:52

with this whole ten x health and I you're

43:54

you're probably aware of this. You're kinda blown up.

43:56

Like, I I've been seeing you all over

43:58

the place. What you're doing is

44:00

obviously working or you're paying the right

44:01

people, the right amounts of money. I'm just

44:04

kidding. I'm I'm just kidding.

44:06

And and so the question I have for you

44:08

though kinda like back to the science of

44:10

the hypox a thing and back

44:11

to the light. And and what you were explaining about with the light, the importance of

44:14

first light, the importance of natural

44:16

spectrum sunlight, If

44:18

you would have walked into my room this morning, I'm increasingly becoming like this. Like,

44:20

I'm like a red light at it. Right. So

44:23

I'll assume I travel with

44:25

a red light headlamp. And that's the only way I used to get around

44:27

the house during the day -- Mhmm. -- or during the

44:30

morning. Right? So it's all red light. Plus my red

44:32

light glasses. Right? So my

44:34

body's just basically

44:36

bathed in sunrise. Even if at a hotel or

44:38

I gotta walk down to the lobby to get a

44:40

coffee or whatever, it's all

44:42

red light. For, like, the first hour of the day before I hit

44:44

the big lights, you know, because of a tip of them up

44:46

around five or so. So my reasoning is until

44:48

the sun actually

44:50

comes up, I wanna keep

44:52

fooling my body that were in no sun

44:54

or sunrise. Mhmm. And then I

44:56

showed you that wrap around red light thing that

44:58

I have. I forget the it's

45:00

I Kenny on is the name of the company that makes it. I wrap that around

45:02

my neck. Right? And this is in the

45:04

first hour after I'm getting up. So all of

45:07

the blood blood going through my neck, and my carotid

45:09

is getting blasted with red light. And then

45:11

I have a little travel based red

45:13

light that people have probably seen,

45:15

like, Juve makes one called The Go. I have one that

45:17

doctor John LaRonde gave me last week that's got

45:19

a little red. And so it basically

45:22

is like putting the

45:24

sunrise on in your bedroom. And so I'm all red light

45:26

for that first hour of the day. Now,

45:28

these are all technologies. We'll talk more about

45:30

some

45:31

of the cool technology up here like some forums like huge fan of But

45:34

technology. So

45:34

for this concept of first light,

45:37

do you think that

45:39

there's an advantage to

45:41

that still getting benefit from that versus what

45:44

we did this morning and going out in full spectrum

45:46

sunlight and on your balcony, do you use these

45:48

red light devices when you first wake

45:49

up? I do. I mean, I do

45:51

the line, I

45:51

walk in the morning, and I I believe

45:54

in doing weights when I'm

45:56

fed. So I usually do

45:58

weight workouts later in

45:59

the afternoon. We're gonna go do after this will be -- Yeah. -- will be crystal waves. So I guess

46:02

it's over one and go close

46:04

it. But then I get back and I do

46:06

what's called

46:08

the superhuman protocol, which is essentially taking all of the good

46:10

things from the outside and bringing it in.

46:12

I believe we get three major things from

46:14

mother nature. We get magnetism. We

46:17

get oxygen. We get light. Magnetism,

46:20

oxygen, and light. Those are the three

46:22

big things we get from other nature.

46:24

And the further we get away from those three

46:25

things, the faster the onset of all cause

46:28

mortality. It kinda begs the question real quick.

46:29

Sorry to

46:32

interrupt.

46:32

No. Okay. But when you say

46:34

magnetism, oxygen, and light and you found in these insurance actuarial

46:36

that hypoxia was one of

46:38

the big issues associated with mortality. Do

46:42

you think that magnetism and light

46:44

should have been on that list as

46:46

well, or a magnetism and light kinda like

46:49

the precursors to oxygenation.

46:51

They're precursors to oxygenation because if

46:53

you think about how

46:56

oxygen's transported in the body. And then the

46:58

delivery system, not only just to the cell wall, but into the mitochondria, which actually

47:00

occurs more through the water -- Mhmm.

47:02

-- mitochondrial water than it does through direct

47:05

oxygen entering the the mitochondria.

47:08

But if you look at the

47:10

degradation of the oxidative

47:12

state of the body, Right? A lot

47:15

of this has to do with charge. Okay. So let's get technical for a second.

47:17

So if you look at a red blood cell and we're

47:19

gonna do some dark field microscopy here

47:21

after after this. If you look at

47:23

a red blood cell, the surface of that cell

47:26

has a charge. And just like a magnet, if

47:28

if two cells have similar charges, they

47:30

repel, if they have opposite charges,

47:32

they attract. And it's a, you know, pH stands for

47:34

potential hydrogen. This is a

47:36

charge. Right? That's why it's a complete fallacy

47:38

that we can get alkaline from drinking

47:40

alkaline water.

47:42

We get alkaline by changing the charge of the body

47:44

through logos current, through grounding,

47:46

through earthing, and discharging

47:49

into the earth. Or discharging through APEMF mat,

47:51

low gals PMF mat,

47:54

is the safest and the most natural and the

47:56

fastest way

47:58

to alkalize repolarized

48:00

the charge of cellular structures

48:02

in the

48:03

body. Never really thought of them. So

48:05

you're you're basically making a case

48:07

that alkalization is

48:10

synonymous with the link to

48:12

repolarization.

48:12

No question. It's linked to

48:14

potential hydrogen, that's pH. The scale

48:17

of pH is based on the potential

48:19

of hydrogen. So what this means

48:22

is Let's say you have a group of red blood cells and they're all hanging out in the bloodstream

48:24

together. And they have similar charges

48:26

and they will repel. They'll slide

48:29

around like like hard boiled eggs in them. Protons

48:31

of the positive charge. Protons

48:32

of the positive charge. So

48:35

what happens is you

48:37

have a lot more surface

48:40

area now for that cell to

48:42

take in nutrients, to expel nutrients, to

48:44

have oxygen from the

48:46

from the serum of the blood enter enter

48:48

a cell. So for

48:50

cells to shuttle oxygen through

48:52

the bloodstream, they need to have more surface

48:54

area. To increase the surface area, you need

48:56

to increase create cellular separation. To

48:59

create separation, you need to have the

49:01

right charge. And a higher pH meaning

49:03

higher potential hydrogen, more of these protons

49:05

pushing each other apart spanning the

49:07

cell. Right. Or else they start to clump Yeah. And everywhere they touch, you

49:09

lose that surface area twice. You lose it on the

49:11

cell or you lose it on either

49:13

cell that's touching. Now

49:15

what happens when these cells start to travel around the

49:18

bloodstream in clumps? I'm not talking about

49:20

coagulated blood. I'm talking about co less

49:22

red blood cells. So now you

49:24

have these because they

49:26

haven't done earthing or grounding or

49:28

red light or PMF and they've been

49:30

traveling and they live in a condo

49:32

like I do on the twenty seventh floor and they fly three

49:34

days a week and they'll get a lot of aesthetic

49:37

electricity. They're they're they're wearing two inch

49:39

thick sole rubber sole shoes. So there's

49:41

no discharge going on. So now

49:43

if you look at this blood, you'll see that the red blood

49:45

cells are kind of all clumped up and stuck

49:47

together. Like too many cars turn it. Yeah. Take these

49:49

out through these microscopes you have sent right over here in your what I'm

49:51

saying? He's not joking, folks. His whole con is, like,

49:54

literally, the microscopes and crazy. I

49:56

like half half lab half

49:58

biohacking condo. So you so you could see

50:00

that. I

50:00

mean, my cameraman do it last week. IIII

50:02

actually pricked

50:03

his finger, put the blood on there, and you

50:05

could see because the the mic's

50:07

sling in down through the blood, you could see all the blood kind

50:09

of stacked up and clumped together. Now, you lay

50:11

on APEMF

50:14

mat and Take your blood five minutes after getting off a PMF

50:16

mat. Just do a twenty minute low gout

50:18

session, and you'll see that all the red

50:20

blood cells

50:22

have separated. Now I have more surface area for oxygen.

50:24

And that's why I do eWOT

50:26

exercise with oxygen therapy

50:28

after getting on a

50:30

PMF

50:30

minute. Alcon line? That's

50:32

why. First. I was wondering about the order because

50:34

we we slept on PMF mass last night. You're

50:36

on a few guys who have hung out with who

50:38

actually has a PMF mass under their

50:40

bed. Your your brand's And then my guest bed.

50:41

I I you weren't you said it was under your guest

50:43

bed, which was amazing. And and by the way, I

50:45

just realized for those of you listening, I didn't yet tell you

50:47

where the show notes we'll have a video

50:49

of all this stuff. It's ben greenfield life dot com

50:52

slash breka. It's Gary's last name,

50:54

BRECKA, ben

50:56

greenfield life dot com

50:58

slash breka. So by utilizing the PMF and of course by

51:00

going outside barefoot like we did today with

51:02

the earthing and the grounding -- Mhmm. -- we're

51:04

reducing the

51:06

amount of clumping by allowing for popular

51:08

popular depolarization

51:10

of the cells. And that then allows

51:12

for better oxygen flow and a more

51:15

alkaline state? And would that theoretically

51:18

be something that is

51:20

accelerated by exposure to life

51:23

photons or is that something that allows

51:25

the light photons to kinda like charge

51:27

up the mitochondria that allows the light photons

51:29

to charge up the mitochondria. Okay. So Remember,

51:31

I said we get three things from other nature, magnetism

51:33

oxygen and

51:34

light. We get magnetism from the earth. Yeah. Earth

51:36

in grounding. It's a very real thing. Yeah. Or

51:38

PMF is bad. I'd like to think it was like earthing

51:40

on steroids. Yes. It's early on steroids. And and if you live in a condo or you

51:42

spend a lot of time on a plane, you have to

51:44

have a PMF. Yeah.

51:47

So you get magnetism from

51:50

the earth, which actually creates

51:52

alkalinity. And then you

51:54

you move to this eWAT exercise

51:56

with ox oxygen therapy. So we use ninety five

51:58

percent o two under mild oxygen. Just what you did this

52:00

morning, three minute cycle with a thirty second

52:04

sprint. This will raise

52:06

not only your partial

52:08

pressure, you know, essentially the volume

52:11

of oxygen in the bloodstream, but it will

52:13

also your SPO2, this will also raise your pulse

52:15

oxygen, the amount of oxygen in the

52:17

blood cell. And now once you flood

52:19

the blood with

52:20

oxygen, then

52:22

under mild exercise because we wanna create an oxygen

52:24

demand, then you lay in a red light

52:26

therapy bed. So it's PMF, then

52:29

the exercise of oxygen therapy or some type

52:32

of oxygen protocol, then it's red

52:34

light. That's the gold standard. Mhmm. That's that's

52:36

what we call a super human. That's I'm gonna repeat

52:38

that one more time for that is

52:40

basically if you take nothing else from this

52:42

interview, this is Gary's superhuman

52:44

protocol. PMF, and if you don't have

52:46

access to that, earth's inner grounding, then,

52:48

let's say, you don't have exercise oxygen therapy.

52:50

You could at least do breath work. Breath work. Yes.

52:52

Anything that's gonna introduce more oxygen to the body.

52:54

We'll talk about eWod a little bit more here

52:57

briefly. And then you finish that up with red light or sunlight. I think you

52:59

should often get outside. If you're totally free if you

53:01

like, you know, you don't have all the

53:04

fancy biohacking equipment that you're

53:06

listening in, you could literally go outside, barefoot, or lay on

53:08

your back outside. Mhmm. And

53:10

then you could do breath work in that

53:12

same scenario, do a breath

53:14

work walk. And

53:16

be doing that in the sunlight or finish up with red light in that 123

53:18

protocol. So we could do that every day. They feel better.

53:21

Oh my

53:21

god. They would feel so

53:23

much better. And then

53:24

the bio hacks stack that and concentrate it and

53:26

make it more effective. Exactly. I mean, you stack it

53:28

with that equipment. One of the reasons why,

53:30

you know, I I started a

53:33

wellness franchise seven years ago with my fiancee when

53:35

I left the mortality

53:38

space. It was called Streamline Medical Group.

53:40

We ended up treating a patient named

53:42

Grant Cardone. And Grant Cardone. Grant Cardone. Okay.

53:44

And Grant Cardone had

53:46

such an

53:48

astounding response to the

53:50

therapeutic protocol we put him on, that

53:52

he and his partner Brandon

53:54

decided to acquire us September of last

53:56

year, and we became ten

53:58

x health. And

54:00

so now we're 10x health. And the idea

54:02

is to take expensive modalities like,

54:04

you know, that equipment's a hundred and fifty grand. I

54:06

mean, I don't expect anyone to put a hundred and fifty

54:08

thousand with equipment in their house.

54:10

You'd be surprised. You don't mean some of the people

54:12

who was in this podcast. Okay. So I'll let you

54:14

But

54:15

So go to Actuary

54:16

brackets. Oh my ass. A gram, and I'll and I'll be happy

54:18

to sell you the equipment. But the idea is,

54:20

you know, if I really wanted to touch

54:23

the face of humanity,

54:26

really, make an impact on mankind that's gotta be available to

54:28

everybody at a reasonable

54:30

price. So we're putting a thousand

54:33

of these clinics around the country, twenty in

54:35

every state. And essentially, you know, Grant

54:38

Cardona has helped to bankroll that and Brandon Dawson's

54:40

helped to build the foundation for it for us

54:42

to scale. That

54:44

there'll be twenty of these locations in every state,

54:46

people can come in and use it for a

54:48

monthly fee instead of, you know, paying to have

54:50

the equipment in their house. Yeah. So that's

54:52

the whole it was the whole idea behind

54:54

ten x health and and that combined with blood

54:57

testing combined with genetic

55:00

testing, which I'm a huge fan of.

55:02

There's lots of great genetic tests out there. We

55:04

do one through cell science systems. It looks

55:06

at the five actionable genes and the

55:08

sub alleles. You

55:10

can get eighty five percent

55:12

of the

55:13

people, ninety percent of, you know, to

55:15

their destination of OptimaHealthcare. So I was telling you on our

55:17

watch, I like cut through the genetic confusion. I can tell

55:19

you this one called StrataGene by Dr. Ben Lynch. It

55:22

identifies the nine so called dirty genes -- Yes. --

55:24

the nitric oxide pathways,

55:26

methylation pathways.

55:28

Histamine processing pathways, etcetera. Because, I mean, a lot of

55:30

people don't need to know where that propensity for brown eyes

55:33

or blue eyes. Exactly. They're detached

55:35

microbes. I mean, actionable

55:38

data. Exactly. Yeah. So you're

55:40

doing you're doing quantification

55:42

as well on a pretty robust

55:43

level. If someone were to come to you

55:45

and work with your when you go to one

55:47

of these new ten x health systems, they're going through a whole battery of tests. They're

55:49

gonna go through mainly two tests upfront. They're gonna

55:52

get sixty four biomarkers looked at in

55:54

the blood. Okay. And they get five

55:56

genetic markers looked at in

55:58

their genes and the and the

56:00

alleles. In those sixty four

56:02

biomarkers, we're basically looking for

56:04

hormone balance

56:05

glycemic control, blood sugar control, and

56:08

nutrient deficiencies. Okay. And

56:09

then in the genetic test, which is what

56:11

I love so much because you do it once

56:13

in your lifetime. You know,

56:15

it's your genes. They'll never change. So you

56:17

don't have to guess at what you're deficient

56:20

in. You can know what your body is

56:22

incapable of methalting. Some people do

56:24

better on certain forms of b twelve, b

56:26

complexes, Sam

56:29

E's and and methylated

56:32

folates, you know, five month folates. And

56:34

it's astounding what happens to human beings

56:36

when you just put the raw material

56:39

back into their body so

56:41

that it can do what it was designed to

56:43

do. I mean, you know, MTHFR

56:45

has been proven

56:48

linked to all kinds of conditions that

56:50

we just except as a consequence

56:52

of aging, ADD, ADHD, OCD,

56:57

manic depression, bipolar, mood and and emotional

57:00

disorders. These neurotransmitters imbalances

57:02

come very often from methylation.

57:04

We take simple amino acids like

57:08

triptofan and phenylalanine, and we

57:10

methylate these into neurotransmitters.

57:12

And if we if methylation

57:14

is broken, we have these deficiencies.

57:17

Mainly in our gut. But if you

57:19

don't have serotonin in your gut, you

57:21

can't have serotonin in your brain.

57:23

Yeah. And so there's lots of books

57:25

written on the gut brain connection, but the gut brain connection is

57:27

a connection of methylation. And

57:30

it's very simple to

57:32

fix this. I mean, a lot

57:34

of people are walking around, like I said,

57:36

fifty five or sixty percent of their true state

57:38

of normal because they're guessing at what they

57:40

need to supplement with. They have a COMT

57:42

mutation, for example, catechol o

57:44

methyltransferase. These people have one of

57:46

two types of sleep patterns been. They'll

57:48

either lay down exhausted

57:50

to go to bed, and they can't

57:52

fall asleep because their mind keeps them

57:54

awake. Or they fall asleep and

57:57

their mind wakes them up because it's important to understand and I know

57:59

that you know this, but we don't just create thought

58:01

in our mind. We

58:03

also dismantle thought just

58:06

as important to be able to dismantle thought,

58:08

to grade thought as it is to create

58:10

it. If not, the mind gets clouded.

58:12

We call this ADHD, Right?

58:15

There's attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It's

58:17

not an attention deficit at all.

58:19

It's an attention

58:22

overload. Disorder. It's

58:24

not that people that have ADD have an

58:26

inability to pay attention. They have an

58:28

inability to pay attention to so many

58:30

things. Yeah. And so, what if we

58:33

could actually degrade thought at the same

58:35

pace that we create thought? You'd stop

58:37

hearing people say things like, I

58:39

work well under pressure. Because when you

58:41

say I work well pressure, is I lack the ability

58:43

to set priorities internally,

58:46

so I use

58:48

external pressure. To set my

58:50

priorities. Yeah. And

58:52

we would be able to lay down

58:54

to go to sleep in our mind would

58:56

quiet instead of waking

58:58

up. Right? Because people

59:00

that have a comp t g mutation,

59:03

this catecholtransferase gene mutation --

59:04

C0MT. -- they don't

59:07

degrade catecholamine. Right. And so they have this excitatory state in the

59:09

mind, but the body's exhausted. Yeah.

59:11

And so they have a hard time

59:13

quieting their mind. And

59:16

And so if they put the right amino acid balance into

59:18

the body, they find that they actually mind

59:19

quiets. So I'm a huge fan of your I'm I'm

59:22

Yeah. I was I was gonna say, this is kinda

59:24

fun because, like, a lot of what

59:26

I do from a supplementation standpoint.

59:28

It's probably probably a big three that come to

59:30

my mind you're talking about right now is the essential amino

59:32

acids. Mhmm. You know,

59:33

I had

59:33

a big couple of those Keon Aminos, but I

59:35

have one around here somewhere. Right? So great for the

59:38

neurotransmitters, for a lot of the methylation issues

59:40

like the shotgun approach.

59:42

And then

59:44

raw liver in my smoothie every morning. Still working on that

59:46

ratio. Still working on that one. You what?

59:48

I'll give you the recipe. I'll just swear you're eating

59:50

ice cream. It's amazing. Yeah. Once you get the

59:52

right stuff

59:54

in it. And then the last one, and this is one

59:56

that I think one reason you and I feel

59:58

so good today, that

1:00:00

kinda amp ifies a lot of

1:00:02

things you've been talking about when it comes

1:00:04

to the light and the oxygen

1:00:06

because it it donates electrons --

1:00:08

Yes. -- to the

1:00:10

mitochondrial trans port chain. It pairs very well with if you have enough NAD in your

1:00:12

system is methylene blue. Mhmm.

1:00:14

So you and I took some oral methylene

1:00:16

blue this morning up

1:00:18

with a red

1:00:18

light. Yeah. And that stuff's fantastic. I think it pairs

1:00:20

very well with what you're doing with this superhuman protocol. Oh,

1:00:23

no question. I mean, in the superhuman protocol,

1:00:25

you know, the magnetism oxygen

1:00:27

light, when you get in red light, certain wavelengths of red light.

1:00:29

I mean, basically, all

1:00:32

wavelengths of light do the same thing. They just do it

1:00:34

at different depths. Right? So some are

1:00:36

very good for collagen and elastin, fibrin

1:00:38

in the skin. Others are good for

1:00:40

circulation, microvascular circulation. Other

1:00:42

wavelengths are good

1:00:44

for inflammation. Probably the most therapeutic in my opinion is the

1:00:46

eight hundred and ten nanometers because

1:00:48

that's generally considered the

1:00:50

deepest depth

1:00:52

of penetration. But what that wavelength does that's

1:00:54

astounding is it passes through the

1:00:56

mitochondrial wall, it kicks

1:00:58

out a gas called mitochondrial nitric

1:01:02

oxide, and forces oxygen to dock. And you know what

1:01:04

happens in the mitochondria when you

1:01:06

when you allow oxygen

1:01:08

to enter that cycle, you

1:01:11

have a sixteen old increase

1:01:14

in cellular

1:01:15

energy. Just imagine if we

1:01:18

had a six teenfold increase

1:01:20

in cellular energy in thirty

1:01:22

two trillion

1:01:23

cells. Imagine the level of waste

1:01:26

elimination, repair,

1:01:28

detoxification, regeneration, And these these are simple things light

1:01:30

to force oxygen into the mitochondria,

1:01:32

to upstage the mitochondria so we

1:01:34

can eliminate waste repair, detoxify,

1:01:37

and regenerate. So when it comes to

1:01:40

the testing that you do, you got

1:01:42

these five genes that

1:01:46

you'll test four. You've got the sixty four blood

1:01:48

markers. And then obvious -- I see. -- the

1:01:50

foundation. It's gonna change from person

1:01:52

to person. But do you

1:01:54

have, like, a specific diet

1:01:56

slash supplementation program that you

1:01:58

find yourself referring to over and

1:02:00

over again as far

1:02:00

as, like, the general broad based it seems to

1:02:03

work well for a lot of these people who have hypoxia related conditions. I do. I mean,

1:02:05

a lot of it has to do

1:02:08

with

1:02:08

lowering high glycemic carbohydrates.

1:02:11

No or shattering, you know,

1:02:14

information there. Because if you look at,

1:02:16

you know, you have to remember the the digestive tract

1:02:18

is like a thirty foot long conveyor

1:02:21

belt. And what you on in at one end before it

1:02:23

exits the opposite end is it exits the

1:02:26

stomach and then makes its way to the rectum and

1:02:28

exits the rectum. In that thirty foot

1:02:30

long span, the

1:02:32

level of high glycemic carbohydrate

1:02:35

is directly related to

1:02:37

the amount of oxygen that is

1:02:39

diverted to your gut.

1:02:40

Remember, the amount of level

1:02:43

of high glycemic carbohydrate intake

1:02:45

is directly correlated to the amount of

1:02:47

oxygen that your gut needs, meaning the

1:02:49

more sweet carbs you eat, the more oxygen gets divert

1:02:51

to your gut? No no no doubt.

1:02:53

That's exactly right. That's

1:02:56

right. So high glycemic meals require

1:02:58

significantly more oxygen to

1:03:00

digest. Really? And they will require more

1:03:02

blood flow. As well. So if you

1:03:04

actually stood in front of a thermograph and you

1:03:06

ate a very high glycemic meal versus

1:03:08

let's say a purely ketogenic

1:03:10

meal, you would see that your

1:03:12

head, which is normally glowing

1:03:14

red and orange, and there's an orange red

1:03:16

area around your heart, nice warm

1:03:18

blood showing concentration of

1:03:20

blood around the heart in the brain, you would

1:03:22

see these areas begin to cool. You'd actually see

1:03:24

them start to turn yellow and green. Right. Because

1:03:26

the amount of blood in the system is

1:03:29

fixed. So it can't be here and be here

1:03:31

at the same time. It can't be in the gut and

1:03:33

be in the brain at the same time. So

1:03:35

if you divert it with high

1:03:37

glycemic carbohydrates, you will steal it from the

1:03:39

brain. It has to borrow from somewhere.

1:03:41

Yeah.

1:03:41

Right? And so the simple truth

1:03:43

is that you have to decide if if

1:03:45

that food's serving you or or stealing

1:03:48

from you. And so, I

1:03:50

mean, try to eat and, you know,

1:03:52

a big bowl of pasta and

1:03:55

and some you know, some half a loaf of bread

1:03:57

and see how you feel after that

1:03:59

meal. Yeah. You know, the energy

1:04:02

drain is because you have reduced the

1:04:04

oxidative

1:04:04

state. You can become

1:04:06

marching on. Just feel Italian

1:04:08

after me, like, yeah. He

1:04:10

just starts speaking with an

1:04:11

accent. Yeah. Well, I don't know. Maybe we'll be able to

1:04:14

survive a moment, though. Most people are exhausted,

1:04:16

but it so this is why, in

1:04:18

general, I try to just avoid high

1:04:20

glycemic foods. And

1:04:22

because you have to decide, do you want energy,

1:04:24

or do you want taste. And very often,

1:04:26

people are not they don't look at food

1:04:29

as service. They don't look at

1:04:31

food item and say, is this gonna serve me or is this gonna

1:04:34

steal from me? Yeah. And we let

1:04:35

these thieves into our house, and they do exactly what

1:04:37

they're designed to do, just steal from

1:04:39

you. Yeah. And and so

1:04:42

this this type of

1:04:44

eating also

1:04:46

exacerbates hypox condition. So people that have low blood oxygen to

1:04:48

begin with will eat a high glycemic meal,

1:04:50

and then they'll

1:04:50

crash. So you tend to be more low

1:04:53

carb, a little bit like keto.

1:04:56

Your approach from a dietary standpoint. Low carb, high healthy fat,

1:04:58

and no seed oils. I mean, very

1:05:01

basic, in

1:05:03

my opinion, I I eat a

1:05:05

tremendous amount of coconut oil, olive oil,

1:05:08

nuts, avocados. Yeah. I saw

1:05:09

that even a beef tallow -- Yeah.

1:05:11

-- beef tallow. Yeah.

1:05:12

And and I don't eat a lot of high glycemic fruits and high

1:05:15

glycemic foods. Now what about water? Is there

1:05:17

a certain kind of water that would allow

1:05:19

you to be more oxygenator

1:05:21

certain things you attention to from a hydration standpoint?

1:05:24

Yes. So I have a water filtration

1:05:26

system. It's a

1:05:28

hydrogen hydrogenated Okay. Because remember if you have excess hydrogen, you actually

1:05:30

can change polarity. Right? You can

1:05:32

change charge. Okay. So hydrogen

1:05:34

water can

1:05:36

alkalize you. Yeah.

1:05:38

Alkyline

1:05:39

water does not alkalize you. Right?

1:05:41

There's not there's not higher amounts of

1:05:43

hydrogen in just alkaline water. Right.

1:05:45

It's just over metal plate and and

1:05:48

using electrolysis to alkalize

1:05:49

it, but there's not increased hydrogen

1:05:52

content. That's right. Because and you think about it in

1:05:54

chemistry, something cannot donate

1:05:56

its properties and also maintain them.

1:05:58

Yeah. So so if it were true

1:06:00

that alkaline water would

1:06:02

transfer its properties than it would, by design, become acidic if

1:06:04

it gave up the properties that made it alkaline.

1:06:06

Yeah. It's a good point. So, you

1:06:08

know, you can't have

1:06:10

a glass salt water in a glass of regular water and take the salt out of

1:06:12

one and put it to the other and still have it

1:06:14

in its origin. Right? Yeah. So

1:06:16

this is why, you know, the alkaline water

1:06:18

theory

1:06:19

falls on super

1:06:20

myopathy or something like that. Water maintains the information. I feel

1:06:22

like there's a discussion. We're not getting too science y

1:06:24

for these guys and put them to sleep and somebody.

1:06:26

No. It's not great. But they, you

1:06:29

know, they they truth is that hydrogen water,

1:06:31

I'm a huge fan of hydrogen water because, you know, it

1:06:34

can donate properties and it

1:06:36

improves

1:06:37

emulsification and got by

1:06:40

all kinds of things. Is it

1:06:41

true that you could dissolve oxygen and water?

1:06:43

Because, like, I've heard about that. I'm, like

1:06:45

and then I'll tell you Mike's

1:06:47

experience with it, which was pretty profound

1:06:50

because the human biologist in

1:06:52

me says no. Right? I mean, if

1:06:54

you take a you know, if

1:06:56

you pop top off of perrier, you get the you

1:06:58

know? And then if you shake it

1:07:00

up and keep doing it pretty soon, it's gonna

1:07:02

flatten out. So in theory,

1:07:04

you know, suspending a gas and a liquid is long

1:07:06

term is not possible. But there

1:07:08

is a type of water called cake and water or

1:07:10

a cake

1:07:12

and

1:07:12

water. Dr. Lyons' research is cake and

1:07:14

powder. What was the other thing called cake

1:07:16

and KAQU

1:07:20

and but it's pronounced cocoon, but it's KHUUN.

1:07:23

And there's actually one of these facilities

1:07:25

and they have bashful of this

1:07:27

water and in

1:07:30

Vegas. And I went out to this facility,

1:07:33

highly skeptical, although I

1:07:35

had read doctor Lyons research

1:07:38

and was excited to go out and

1:07:40

bathe in an oxygen tub

1:07:42

that was perfused with oxygen

1:07:46

through a patented method of suspending oxygen and

1:07:48

water linking oxygen molecules together o

1:07:50

two linked to o two linked to o two.

1:07:54

theoretically, you know, the partial pressure of water

1:07:56

on your under skin is six hundred millimeters

1:07:58

of mercury, the partial pressure in the veins about a

1:08:00

hundred and forty. So

1:08:02

this gradient allows for oxygen -- Driving it through the

1:08:03

grid. -- transit light alone. Yes.

1:08:06

Driving it from ice being submerged in

1:08:08

the

1:08:08

water. Being submerged in the water.

1:08:11

Interesting. So when I got there,

1:08:13

I said, okay, if this

1:08:16

oxygen is moving from

1:08:18

that water, through my skin, into my bloodstream, I should be able

1:08:20

to measure it in a few ways. Right? I should be

1:08:22

able to measure my pulse of oxygen. Yeah. I

1:08:25

should skyrocket. I should be able to measure my

1:08:27

partial pressure, my SP02, how

1:08:30

much oxygen is in my bloodstream. I

1:08:32

should see

1:08:34

a reduction in my blood pressure, both systolic

1:08:36

and diastolic should marginally come

1:08:38

down, and my resting pulse

1:08:42

should also fall.

1:08:44

And I was

1:08:46

skeptical that all of those things

1:08:48

would happen. And without an exception, every

1:08:50

single one of those metrics moved drink

1:08:53

this

1:08:53

crazy. And not drinking it. Nice. Drinking. So you could technically, like, create some kinda, like,

1:08:55

a water filtration system that puts this

1:08:57

stuff in, like,

1:08:58

bath. That's what he's done. Op

1:09:02

carbs or, like, cold pools or something like --

1:09:04

Yes. -- and so you bathe in this for

1:09:06

me to address. Obviously, for for wounds, but,

1:09:09

I mean, there's some tremendous outcomes they've had

1:09:12

with with cancer patients,

1:09:14

certainly with surface conditions,

1:09:17

eczema psoriasis, and

1:09:20

and wounds. Yeah. But the fact

1:09:22

that I was able to measure an increase in my partial pressure while I got an increase

1:09:28

in pulse oxygen. Right? So the oxygen had

1:09:30

to be coming from somewhere because when I was breathing, it wasn't

1:09:32

moving. And and then a

1:09:34

reduction in my blood pressure and

1:09:38

a significant drop in my pulse rate. My pulse rate went from resting in the low

1:09:40

sixties, sixty sixty one

1:09:43

into the low forties. Is

1:09:46

this stuff available already? Does this ability to be able to bathe

1:09:49

in this stuff? Yeah. You can bathe in it and you can

1:09:51

go to Las Vegas and bathe

1:09:52

in. I'll I'll I'll I'll find links for you guys,

1:09:54

for me. You guys want to It's a cool

1:09:56

Okay. So, yeah, I was telling you when we were walking because we haven't

1:09:58

spent a lot of time together. We've talked on the phone a few times. I

1:10:01

finally flew in last night. We've

1:10:03

hung out a little bit. I

1:10:05

see that you practice what you preach. I think it's blowing smoke. I appreciate that. A

1:10:07

lot of guys don't they they write the blogs and

1:10:09

do the podcast, but they don't actually

1:10:12

do it. You

1:10:15

having such deep experience and having all

1:10:17

these things that we've already tried

1:10:18

today. I've I don't know

1:10:21

you. I

1:10:21

feel fantastic. I feel great. Do. I was saying that earlier, man.

1:10:23

I feel I mean, we did amazing. We did the breath work

1:10:25

and the ethylene blue and the outside walk, but then

1:10:27

we started to use

1:10:30

some of your biohacking

1:10:32

technologies. And so I wanna ask you if

1:10:34

you kinda like rapid fire questions based on this superhuman protocol, if that's cool.

1:10:38

Yeah. Fire. So So step one is we want

1:10:40

to get polarization occurring

1:10:42

properly and decomping the

1:10:45

cells through some form of

1:10:47

grounding urthing or PMF. Yes. Talk about going outside barefoot. I

1:10:49

talked about maybe putting some straps in the bottom of

1:10:51

your shoes using those earth runners. Obviously, it's

1:10:53

not rocket science to get outside and

1:10:55

be in touch with planet. Right.

1:10:57

Now when it comes to the technologies that you think work really well

1:10:59

for PMF, what are some

1:11:03

of your favorites? For, like, biohacking

1:11:05

technologies. So my favorite is that Pure Wave, I've looked at

1:11:07

a lot of different PMF technologies. I'm not

1:11:09

saying that other PMF technologies

1:11:11

are not great. That's to

1:11:13

Matt nearest to Matt. K. So I I like that one

1:11:15

for because I'm I'm

1:11:18

measured the Loga House current.

1:11:21

And we actually did some dark field testing of our own, and we actually found significant improvements

1:11:24

in blood

1:11:28

viscosity. And also

1:11:30

in the clumping blood cells, and that's visible. And then, you

1:11:36

know, the the E

1:11:38

Watt system exercise with oxygen therapy. I use a HyperMax, which is essentially an oxygen concentrator

1:11:40

with a timer on

1:11:41

it. You turn the timer on

1:11:43

it. It's actually

1:11:47

we get to ewa. I wanna talk about that. But what about So I've got

1:11:49

this necklace on somewhere. Yeah. I mean That

1:11:51

makes p m what

1:11:52

about

1:11:53

portal PMF? We because not if you

1:11:55

wanted to travel with the map.

1:11:56

I travel

1:11:57

a lot. I want PMF

1:11:58

one to travel. This one I like There's like lightweight grounding mask, but this thing's called a bubble. This is

1:12:01

the bubble formulation.

1:12:04

Topic. Yeah. It's the smallest PMF in the world.

1:12:06

The capacity is the flex

1:12:06

pulse by Dr. William Pollock. This seems kinda cool.

1:12:08

You're saying around your neck.

1:12:11

Hanging around your

1:12:12

neck. Seven hertz in a in

1:12:14

a pulse electromagnetic field all the time. Okay. So you don't have to wait to your home. You

1:12:16

can wear PMF

1:12:19

and you can have

1:12:21

that as a mat. You could obviously travel grounding and earthing mat. So I don't even travel with those before, but they're pretty

1:12:23

light. Yeah. They're very And I was gonna tell if it's

1:12:25

pretty light. Yeah. One thing to think about is

1:12:28

the alternating and

1:12:31

frequencies that go through a lot of homes and condos like this. I'm

1:12:33

a fan of using dirty electricity

1:12:35

filters. If you're gonna use PMF

1:12:37

or grounding or earthing mats, I

1:12:39

just think it's smart, just you reduce the

1:12:41

amount of power surges. But -- Mhmm. -- nonetheless, you said the power wave, this bubble thing --

1:12:44

Pardon? -- and then grounding

1:12:46

or earth thing, grounding or something

1:12:48

shoes, getting outside barefoot.

1:12:50

And then you start talking about the eWAT. Tell me about the protocol we did today and what all you use for for

1:12:55

exercise is exercised with oxygen therapy. Right?

1:12:58

Yes. You exercise with oxygen therapy, and we do this with a lot of our professional

1:13:02

athletes that were trying to get to the next level. I'm working with lot of athletes

1:13:04

that are playing in the league right

1:13:07

now that are dominating their

1:13:10

game Some of them are very public about their relationship with

1:13:12

me, some are not. But we

1:13:14

are measuring their performance using

1:13:17

magnetism, oxygen, and

1:13:19

light, which is in a sub

1:13:22

certified, it doesn't it's not considered performance enhancements, it's considered regenerative, regenerative.

1:13:28

And we're seeing incredible results

1:13:30

with tissue repair, regeneration,

1:13:32

protein synthesis, increase in

1:13:34

protein synthesis, and muscle repair.

1:13:38

And performance, but

1:13:40

not, you know, e one is a

1:13:42

ten, eleven minute time frame where

1:13:45

you're went

1:13:45

by super fast. Hyper Not drained afterwards. Like, after a big workout -- Your

1:13:47

energy. -- too much oxygen over too long a pro period

1:13:50

of time will actually drive robots

1:13:53

that count down, and that's the opposite of

1:13:55

what for of took a do today. Right.

1:13:58

It was three minutes.

1:14:02

Three

1:14:03

thirty seconds after each, breathing pure

1:14:05

oxygen. Yeah. Breathing pure oxygen. Yeah. Breathing

1:14:07

pure oxygen or eighty five high

1:14:09

oxygen. And it's just like a look. You

1:14:11

have an airtime bike. You have a mask next to

1:14:13

all. I'll put pictures for folks at bed greenfieldlife dot

1:14:15

com slash Brecka. I

1:14:18

told you, my my protocol is kinda sexy too. Like, I got the Basspur, which is the blood flow restriction Right.

1:14:20

-- and the grounding and

1:14:22

the earth thing because you're grounded

1:14:26

to the to the plates on the VASPER,

1:14:28

and then the full body exercise. And I keep

1:14:30

the Live O two next to that because

1:14:32

I got a switch. And so during my

1:14:34

recoveries, like the long periods, And efforts, you go

1:14:36

hyporoxia and flood the tissue. I love

1:14:38

oxygen. And that's twenty one minutes. I'm

1:14:41

I felt as though your

1:14:43

twelve minute protocol beat

1:14:46

me up a little less than the maybe

1:14:48

I'm I'm going too long with the BaaS per protocol. But

1:14:50

nonetheless, the the takeaway message here for people is

1:14:54

it's high intensity interval training -- Mhmm.

1:14:56

-- with

1:14:56

periods of time during that high intensity training where

1:14:58

you have some kind of a mass to deliver

1:15:01

high amounts of oxygen to this. Right. And and

1:15:03

and ten and a half minutes is all you

1:15:05

need. You breathe nine hundred liters of

1:15:07

ninety five percent

1:15:09

of two. Now, something I've always wondered, what

1:15:11

if you were to use? Let's say you didn't have money

1:15:13

or you didn't have access to the oxygen delivery system mask that

1:15:16

you wear. What

1:15:19

if you just, during the easy periods, were to

1:15:21

wear something like a training mask, you know,

1:15:23

or, like, resist

1:15:25

oxygen intake or even breathe through a

1:15:27

straw? You think

1:15:27

you could still get some by then

1:15:28

during the hard effort just like opening your mouth

1:15:30

and taking the training mask off and breathing.

1:15:32

I have some issues with

1:15:34

me. If you look at you know,

1:15:36

cyclical breathing methods of Wim Hof. You look at exercise

1:15:38

with oxygen therapy. A lot of these have the same foundational concept,

1:15:41

which is one

1:15:44

created demand. And then to answer

1:15:46

that demand. And and what I mean by that is, we know that we can't just eat a

1:15:48

bunch of calcium and have strong bones.

1:15:50

Right? You have to load a bone

1:15:54

Yeah. And then have calcium there to help build it.

1:15:56

Yeah. Right? We know that you can't just eat

1:15:58

a bunch of protein and build big

1:16:01

muscles You have to tear a muscle, then you

1:16:03

have to have the protein available to repair it. Right.

1:16:05

The same thing is true with oxygen. You just can't sit

1:16:08

and hyperventilate. And and flood

1:16:10

the body with oxygen. What you have to do is create an oxygen demand. So the idea

1:16:13

behind e one

1:16:16

is is exercise is putting

1:16:18

an oxygen demand on the body. Yeah. And then when it's same as a breath

1:16:24

hold, in a in a in a Wim Hof

1:16:26

method, for example, exhale, breath hold. Why is why are we exhaling and holding our breath?

1:16:29

Brecka, you're

1:16:32

resetting carbohydrate carbon dioxide receptors and actually driving the level

1:16:34

of that gas up. Now when you breathe in,

1:16:36

Brecka shoes just they

1:16:39

take it

1:16:40

up. So it might not be perfect,

1:16:42

but you could you could basically the way you wanna think about it is this, during an exercise session,

1:16:44

try to deprive

1:16:47

yourself of oxygen, then throw

1:16:49

in a few high intensity intervals where you just open up the portals and flooding yourself with oxygen. And you're at least even

1:16:51

if you have

1:16:55

the fancy equipment, kinda like going outside

1:16:57

barefoot gives you a taste of the DMF. Doing that will give you a taste of the e wok.

1:16:59

You can hold your breath

1:17:02

and do push ups to

1:17:04

exhaustion. That's a great Brecka.

1:17:06

Breath. Then hold your breath, and you push ups to exhaustion -- Yeah. -- to failure. Okay. then,

1:17:08

you

1:17:09

know, breath work

1:17:11

again. Got it. So the last

1:17:13

part of this superhuman protocol, and I I wanna be sure we touch on this, is the light.

1:17:15

Mhmm. Now, yeah, people

1:17:19

have seen me in front of these jule

1:17:21

light panels. I told you about the thing and wear around my neck. You have some interesting light things. You got

1:17:24

like this sauna that massages and

1:17:26

does light and you have this

1:17:28

whole bed. Tell

1:17:30

me about your light stuff. know, light

1:17:35

beds. I did like meter

1:17:37

testing. We did nitric oxide, mitochondrial nitric oxide testing to

1:17:40

actually see

1:17:44

if that light was actually kicking the gas

1:17:46

out of the mitochondria which you can pick up in the blood because you know if the gas is leaving

1:17:48

that oxygen's docking. And

1:17:51

so we use the ten

1:17:56

x, our our company, we actually

1:17:58

acquired a stake in in

1:18:00

a distributor named DaVinci

1:18:02

Medical. We acquired a fifty VINCI Medical. DaVINCI.

1:18:04

Okay. Like the DaVINCI

1:18:06

Code, DaVINCI Medical. Yeah.

1:18:09

And we source a thorough

1:18:12

light three sixty light bed, the one of

1:18:14

the most powerful light bed on the market

1:18:16

right now. It's about a hundred and twenty

1:18:18

five millawatts of radiance more powerful than anything else you can get on the market. It's got forty five thousand

1:18:20

light diodes and has

1:18:22

a top and a bottom.

1:18:26

They actually change the light intensity to

1:18:28

make up for the arc in the in the

1:18:30

bed. And you lay in this thing for twenty

1:18:32

minutes and just like you experienced today. I

1:18:34

mean, there's nothing like

1:18:35

it. In in can fill a nitric oxide, like, coming on

1:18:37

my fingertips. Yeah. That was pretty crazy. Yeah. I

1:18:40

think it's

1:18:42

powerful. And when it when it's blowing nitric oxide out

1:18:44

like that, it that means oxygen

1:18:46

is taking its

1:18:47

place. Yeah. And when you just do what

1:18:49

eWat

1:18:49

and then you lay in that red light bed,

1:18:51

it's like plugging your

1:18:53

So when I'd like to sign for

1:18:55

it too You know, she also I can barely

1:18:57

sit still right now. Yeah. Yeah. And then what about the one that

1:18:59

has the the is like a sauna.

1:19:03

Like, I climbed inside it. Almost, like, almost, like,

1:19:05

one of those hypothermic units they're using

1:19:07

cancer treatment.

1:19:07

Yeah. But it's, like, a pod.

1:19:10

You climb inside call it. Oh,

1:19:11

that thing's like being in your mother's womb. It's I

1:19:13

love that thing. You you it's

1:19:16

called the

1:19:18

Hyper TSANA. And essentially hyper t hyper

1:19:20

t. Okay. Right? And it's also

1:19:22

by da Vinci ten ten x.

1:19:24

We have a a version of

1:19:26

this. And it's a pod that you get in

1:19:28

and you open it and you close it. There's

1:19:30

three things I like about it. Number

1:19:33

one, it's infrared,

1:19:36

near infrared, sauna. It has a massage unit,

1:19:38

so it's actually vibrating, and it has heat.

1:19:40

Yeah. And so it's not

1:19:42

just the infrared, near infrared, but

1:19:45

also actually has heat vents that will heat you up while your head

1:19:47

stays cool. You know,

1:19:50

I see a lot on,

1:19:54

you know, Instagram and circulating around in social media, these guys that get in thirty

1:19:56

seven degree

1:19:59

water for prolonged periods of time,

1:20:01

they go under, they breathe through a

1:20:03

straw, they breathe through a snorkel, and sometimes they'll stay in their water for ten,

1:20:05

twelve minutes, sixteen minutes at thirty

1:20:08

seven degrees. Not

1:20:10

a big fan of pulling the brain off

1:20:13

like that or heating the brain up too

1:20:15

hot. Right? I mean, when you're in

1:20:17

a in a hot saw in a hundred and

1:20:19

eighty, two hundred degrees, and you're in there

1:20:21

for really prolonged periods of

1:20:23

time. That's not necessarily the best thing

1:20:25

for your brain. Right. And Well,

1:20:28

obviously, the hypoxia induced by long term

1:20:30

cold for the brain could reduce oxygen

1:20:32

delivery to the brain if over

1:20:34

done. Yeah. And then if we know that hyperthermia as

1:20:37

used in oncology's cytotoxic

1:20:40

to cells,

1:20:42

theoretically, the fidelity of the cells and neural tissue could respond

1:20:45

in an unfavorable manner. Very

1:20:47

unfavorable heat environment. No,

1:20:49

sir. So the head is sticking

1:20:51

out That stays cool, but the body's getting blasted with light.

1:20:53

Yeah. Your body's getting blasted by heart.

1:20:55

It stays cool. So

1:20:58

now you get your sweat on, and then I go right from that into the cold punch

1:21:00

--

1:21:00

Yeah. -- which we did today? Which we did

1:21:02

today. Yeah. We actually got in there together.

1:21:04

Yeah. Good job, man.

1:21:07

Well, videos of this all up for

1:21:09

you guys. I know you probably have tons of questions for Gary.

1:21:11

I know I know we're starting to run up against time

1:21:15

here. But I'm gonna put all the show notes and the video and everything at

1:21:17

ben greenfield life dot com slash breka

1:21:20

and Gary just to keep people

1:21:22

a little bit intrigued here because I'm

1:21:24

intrigued. So from here, we're going

1:21:26

on to do your your you have a special, like,

1:21:28

ozone treatment or something

1:21:30

like that that you do.

1:21:34

Okay. We're gonna do ozone IV therapy

1:21:36

after ozone IV. Got one of our

1:21:38

nurses coming

1:21:38

over, a for energy. Great for energy. We're

1:21:41

gonna do about sixty five gamma

1:21:43

two passes. Okay. And then we're also going to do some alkarnotene alkarnotene

1:21:49

Okay. Alconicine via IV. And the combination of those two is

1:21:51

just amazing. So

1:21:56

that's our That's our next

1:21:58

box. What's the carnosine for? it's carnosine for

1:22:01

a lot of

1:22:04

different delayed,

1:22:06

you know, onset muscle soreness,

1:22:09

you know, domes. And I mean,

1:22:11

she actually significantly reduces

1:22:13

domes. It's also an an

1:22:15

amino acid that's excellent when you're doing

1:22:17

other modalities like Myers cocktails and other vitamins.

1:22:19

I mean, it's readily

1:22:23

available amino acid improves athletic performance. I

1:22:26

actually just like to run

1:22:28

carnosine on its

1:22:30

own. Before I do ozone. Yeah.

1:22:32

You feel absolutely amazing. And

1:22:34

and ozone therapy is, you

1:22:36

know, there's nothing novel about

1:22:38

ozone therapy, but that third oxygen molecule is

1:22:40

really like a missile for inflammation

1:22:42

and free radical oxidation. That's why

1:22:45

you feel so good after ozone.

1:22:47

I mean, some of the clinical

1:22:49

studies where they used it in COVID treatments and for viral pathogens -- Yeah.

1:22:51

-- are are really

1:22:55

astounding. I mean, efficacy

1:22:57

above ninety percent. Wow. So we're gonna do some Osons from Karnesy. And then

1:22:59

you lift the weights, and

1:23:02

then we're gonna lift weights.

1:23:05

Ben, you wanna just go through a couple of

1:23:07

questions? Yeah. Let's do it if you got it up. Finish knocking that

1:23:09

out. Two

1:23:10

quick ones. Yeah. Let's do

1:23:13

how to cure a long COVID. Alright. So I'll take a stab at it. You take a stab at it. You know, we found it.

1:23:16

Was was you know, I

1:23:18

do, like, let's give give ourselves,

1:23:20

like, three

1:23:23

questions. So we got, like, a minute each for each one. Alright.

1:23:25

Alright. Here we go. Alright. How to

1:23:27

cure lung COVID. Go. Alright.

1:23:29

How to care, long cover, jeez, I'm not

1:23:31

a doctor. I don't even wear that. I'm a trust

1:23:33

me, I'm a doctor, t shirt, but some of the

1:23:35

main modalities that I've seen that a

1:23:37

lot of doctor are using that's seen work

1:23:40

well for COVID. I've seen a

1:23:42

lot of guys using the combination

1:23:44

of infrared light and ethylene blue,

1:23:46

which I mentioned earlier, peptides, particularly that target

1:23:48

the immune system like thymocin alpha one

1:23:50

-- Mhmm. -- thymocin beta thymulosin

1:23:53

to be really, really

1:23:55

good for long haul. And

1:23:57

then anything and this this would be more from like an

1:23:59

Iravedic or a traditional medicine standpoint. Anything that

1:24:01

would be considered a

1:24:04

blood tonic. Type

1:24:06

of compound. One example of

1:24:08

that would be like Yaro Extracts. There's

1:24:11

a great guy named doc John

1:24:13

Deweyard out of Boulder, Colorado. He was doing a lot in the pyruvitic space -- Okay.

1:24:15

-- for COVID. But, you know, I personally since my doctor, I don't work

1:24:17

for a lot long. I'll

1:24:19

COVID. Do you? I'm

1:24:21

not a doctor either. That's true. Not a doctor. Clinical team. No. I'm a human

1:24:23

biologist. Let's make that

1:24:25

clear, and this is

1:24:27

not medical advice. But

1:24:29

very often, what's overlooked in long COVID is we

1:24:32

call it long COVID because you have

1:24:34

COVID like symptoms for a prolonged period of

1:24:36

time. And

1:24:39

very often, we've seen that these are actually

1:24:41

secondary viral infections. There's an

1:24:43

explosion of Epstein

1:24:46

Barr and cytomegalovirus and other viruses on the back of COVID.

1:24:48

Remember that only sixty

1:24:50

percent of your DNA is

1:24:52

human DNA, forty percent of all

1:24:55

of your DNA is viral. And

1:24:57

our body silences viruses every day. And when the immune system

1:24:59

gets run down, I'll lock COVID. Some of these

1:25:01

viruses raise their ugly head.

1:25:03

The very, very common

1:25:06

one that we see, which will last eight to

1:25:09

ten to twelve weeks as Epstein Barr virus

1:25:11

on the back of getting COVID.

1:25:13

You didn't really catch up steam bar. You've always

1:25:15

had it. It's kind of a dormant mono virus. And

1:25:17

so your immune system gets run down.

1:25:19

You get this secondary viral

1:25:21

infection. And you think it's a continuation of COVID, you keep

1:25:23

testing negative for COVID, but you actually have virus called

1:25:28

Epstein Barr. And there's a great

1:25:30

eight week protocol for Epstein Barr virus, so I would actually get checked for EBV. Yeah. Ozone can

1:25:33

be really good

1:25:36

as I'm So what do you

1:25:38

recommend? How do I get alkaline? And can you explain the benefit, please?

1:25:40

And

1:25:45

Okay. I just talked

1:25:46

about that. Yeah. We sort of just talked about that magnetism, oxygen, and light, PEMF is one

1:25:48

of the best ways

1:25:50

in my opinion to get

1:25:53

Alkaline, if you would prefer not to spend the five grand on a PMF mat,

1:25:55

get your shoes off and contact

1:25:58

the surface of the earth.

1:26:02

Should forecast and Top five health tips to do

1:26:04

every day for people on a budget. Oh, that's

1:26:07

a pretty good one. Yeah. Alright.

1:26:09

Top five health tips for people on a

1:26:11

budget. Every day on a budget. I would say number

1:26:13

one, eat organ meats. They're not

1:26:15

as expensive as you think. As a matter of fact,

1:26:17

a lot of people sell them cheap because they wanna get

1:26:19

rid of them. Get

1:26:21

cold every day. Cold showers are not expensive last time I checked. Get hot every day. You

1:26:23

don't have to have a sauna. You can literally layer

1:26:25

and go outside or go in the gym, but

1:26:28

open up the

1:26:31

portal is a sweat. Number four would be ten thousand

1:26:33

steps a day. However you wanna do it, take

1:26:35

your calls where

1:26:38

you're outside, take the stairs, walk whatever, but ten thousand steps

1:26:40

a day. And then the last

1:26:42

1II think, would be

1:26:47

And then this is more relationship based, but we know relationships are so

1:26:49

related to longevity. Make one people

1:26:51

or one one

1:26:54

person every day feel really good. Go out of your way to make somebody

1:26:56

feel really, really seen and heard at least once

1:26:58

a day.

1:26:59

Wow. Those are good ideas. I

1:27:01

would add breath work and first light to that.

1:27:03

They don't add a penny to your budget. And breathwork is free.

1:27:05

First light is free. Walking on

1:27:07

the surface of the earth is

1:27:09

free. In fact, walking is probably

1:27:12

the most underrated form of

1:27:14

exercise on the planet. Yeah. Just walking. I

1:27:16

mean, you wanna

1:27:19

lose weight just walk for thirty five

1:27:21

or forty five minutes in a fasted state in the morning's low heart rate

1:27:24

cardio. And breath

1:27:26

work is lots of great

1:27:29

breath work available out there on on the

1:27:31

Internet. Wim Hof is my favorite that he has an eight minute breath work routine, three rounds, thirty

1:27:33

Brecka, breath hold

1:27:36

in between with an exacerbated

1:27:38

deep breath in. That alone will change your life. And if you can do it at first

1:27:40

light, I promise you will

1:27:42

become your drug of choice. Yeah.

1:27:48

The I love to share I'd

1:27:50

love when you share what's

1:27:53

in your

1:27:54

kitchen. How do

1:27:55

you use nutrition to improve mood, depression, and

1:27:57

anxiety? I'll just hit that real quick in

1:27:59

a minute. Okay. First of all, you know,

1:28:01

we we define depression in this country

1:28:03

as inadequate supply of serotonin. That's one of the definitions

1:28:05

of depression, which is why I'm not a big believer in

1:28:08

SSRIs because they ration

1:28:10

what little serotonin you have.

1:28:12

So by definition, they're not raising

1:28:15

it. So by definition, they're not ending depression. Fixing methylation is the

1:28:17

best way to provide adequate

1:28:19

levels of neurotransmitters to

1:28:23

then provide adequate boost to mood an

1:28:25

emotional state. If you were to ask me,

1:28:27

what is a mood? What is

1:28:29

an emotional state? It's nothing more than a

1:28:31

collection of neurotransmitters bound to oxygen.

1:28:33

There are some moods that

1:28:36

where oxygen is an part of

1:28:38

the molecular structure of that

1:28:39

mood. Let me say that again. There are some moods

1:28:40

in emotional states where oxygen is

1:28:43

a part of the molecular structure

1:28:47

of that mood. The reason why no human being has

1:28:49

ever woken up laughing is because you don't

1:28:51

have the oxidative state

1:28:54

to experience laughter. The reason why you can wake up from a

1:28:56

deep delta wave sleep angry is

1:28:58

because the emotion of anger does

1:29:03

not require oxygen. If you wanna do a little

1:29:05

experiment tonight, pinch your spouse while they're dead asleep with all of that. You're gonna wake up

1:29:07

angry. Yeah. Low

1:29:12

emotional tears do not require oxygen. That's

1:29:14

why they're readily available emotions. Elevated emotional tears do require oxygen. Wow.

1:29:16

In fact, the difference

1:29:19

between anger and

1:29:20

passion. Emotion

1:29:22

of anger and the emotion of passion is

1:29:24

one neurotransmitter and the presence of

1:29:26

oxygen. Wow. Cool. Alright. If I

1:29:29

I'll I'll throw in there for

1:29:31

depression. I'm gonna give you five more because I've never seen

1:29:33

anybody do these things and be in

1:29:35

a bad

1:29:38

mood afterwards. At least not significantly. You gotta

1:29:39

say cold water. Music,

1:29:42

singing, sunlight, and cold.

1:29:44

Yes. That's it. Music, singing,

1:29:46

dancing,

1:29:46

sunlight, and cold. that out and me you don't that. If

1:29:48

you wanna cure

1:29:49

somebody's depression deficiency. Push them in cold

1:29:51

water. Yeah. Yeah. And then

1:29:53

what are your thoughts on

1:29:56

seed oils That's the last question. They're terrible

1:29:58

for you. If you actually saw how canola oil is processed, it's mind numbing,

1:30:00

you know, you take

1:30:02

a gummy substance, you you

1:30:05

you Declumps it with something

1:30:07

called hexane, which is a known neurotoxin. It's industrial cleanser. They

1:30:09

heat these oils

1:30:12

to over four hundred and fifty

1:30:14

degrees, which makes them rancid, and then to cure the smell, they deodorize them to make them clear. They

1:30:19

actually bleach them They use sodium hydroxides, hexanes,

1:30:21

and the majority of seed oils are actually genetically

1:30:24

modified because the they have

1:30:26

to make the seed resistance to glycol

1:30:28

phosphates. Resistance

1:30:32

resistant to glycosates. These are just

1:30:33

awful. Get them out of your cabin.

1:30:36

I agree. The only seed oils

1:30:38

I've seen that might not be so bad for you or our cold

1:30:40

expander press. Yeah. That would be like

1:30:42

Andreas Wecker. He has a company

1:30:44

called Andreas Seed Oils. He's

1:30:46

got one like pumpkin, hemp. Black

1:30:49

seed oil. Some of those, I think, are okay. They're being shipped in mirror on glass

1:30:51

jars just in the oxidation. for the most part, if

1:30:53

you ruthlessly mitigate seed and

1:30:55

vegetables, you're gonna feel

1:30:59

better? Yes.

1:30:59

Yeah. No question. Yeah. That's just science.

1:31:01

This guy practices what he preaches

1:31:03

folks. That that's why I like

1:31:05

Gary, and I'm just now getting to

1:31:07

know him, but He's a real deal. And if

1:31:09

you aren't following what he does, I'll link to his ten x health systems,

1:31:12

his website, his

1:31:14

Instagram, as well as the

1:31:17

video that accompanies this show because we had a video crew following

1:31:19

us around a couple of fantastic guys who who filmed some

1:31:21

of these modalities that we're doing.

1:31:23

So I'll put that in

1:31:26

the show notes as well. So Keep

1:31:28

your eye on this guy because

1:31:30

he's doing some really cool things

1:31:34
