  • 310. Why You Aren't Absorbing Your Supplements - Chervin Jafarieh

    You are what you absorb, not just what you eat. Integrative Health Philosopher and Researcher Chervin Jafarieh joins Gary Brecka to explain what happens when your gut can't absorb what you take. They cover how antacids, soda with meals and low stomach acid affect digestion, why cortisol can leave you short on digestive enzymes, how liposomes made from phosphatidylcholine carry nutrients past stomach acid, and why slow chewing helps your gut get more from meals.

  • 309. How to Test Your Waist-to-Height Ratio

    You might think being "skinny fat" is just about looking soft under your clothes, but a 2023 study found 26% of normal-weight men and 38% of normal-weight women actually had excess body fat their BMI never showed. The real name for it is normal weight obesity, and your scale, your mirror, and your last physical all miss it. This episode covers the four numbers that actually catch it, and the three things that fix it.

  • 307. Dr. Josh Axe, Dr. Will Cole & Taylor Dukes: Toxoplasma Gondii Is Linked to Brain Tumors
  • You can eat clean, do everything right, and still miss a brain tumor growing for years. Taylor Dukes found hers on a routine full-body scan, then shrank it in half before surgery using metabolic ketosis, methylene blue, and red light. Gary sits down with Taylor, Dr. Will Cole, and Dr. Josh Axe to break down what standard labs miss: hidden parasites, mold toxicity, and stealth infections quietly overloading the immune system.

    NAD+ became a $4.5 billion industry of IV drips, patches, nasal sprays and powders almost overnight, with clinics charging $2,000 a bag to reverse your age and cure your hangover. Some of what you have been told about NAD+ is true. Some of it is complete nonsense. Gary Brecka runs seven of the biggest NAD+ claims against the research and tells you exactly which is which.

  • 304. Forrest Galante: Why Comfort Is What Actually Ages You

    Wildlife biologist Forrest Galante has spent his life around animals that have constant access to food and never eat themselves into obesity or liver disease, and he argues that what humans do traces back to the one thing we have spent a century engineering out of our lives. Gary and Forrest get into why the aggressive pursuit of comfort may be what is aging you fastest.

  • 303. The Truth About Anxiety and Your Vagus Nerve

    You might think your anxiety is a mindset problem. It isn't. In this episode, human biologist Gary Brecka explains why chronic stress leaves your autonomic nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight, and how elevated cortisol degrades your gut lining, suppresses your immune system, stores fat around your midsection and, according to research on chronic stress and telomeres, may accelerate how fast you age. He breaks down the vagus nerve as the physical brake line of your parasympathetic system, then walks through four free daily resets you can start today: the physiological sigh and five minutes of slow breathing before you touch your phone, 30 seconds of cold at the end of your shower, ten minutes of morning sunlight in your eyes with your feet on the ground, and two hard rules on caffeine and the last hour before bed. No pills, no supplement stack, no subscription. If you wake up exhausted, your heart races for no reason and you lie down tired and wired, this one explains why.

  • 301. 300th Episode: How to Strengthen Your Immune System with Wim Hof, Barbara O'Neill, Kelly Slater & More!

    300 episodes ago, I had a simple dream: put life-changing information on a platform for free and watch what happens. Today that has turned into 300 conversations with people who have almost nothing in common. A nightclub owner. An 11-time world champion surfer. A grandmother with 25 grandchildren. A two-time UFC champion. A man who has walked into the ice nearly every day for close to 50 years. Two people working on the food supply from inside the federal government. My own wife. And an author whose biggest book has a curse word in the title.
