  • 101. Max Lugavere: The 16 Year Alzheimer's Research Scandal Exposed

    Did you know that 99.6% of Alzheimer's drug trials fail? In this eye-opening episode of the Ultimate Human Podcast, host Gary Brecka sits down with health and science journalist Max Lugavere, to uncover the truth about Alzheimer's research and its implications for brain health. They discuss the shocking revelation of how a fraudulent 2006 paper misled Alzheimer’s research for 16 years! Max explains why medications that reduce brain plaques don't necessarily improve cognition, and some may even accelerate brain atrophy.

  • 96. The MTHFR Gene: Why Your Vitamins Might Be Useless (And What to Do)

    Did you know that nearly 44-60% of the population could unknowingly carry a gene mutation that impacts their health in significant ways? The MTHFR gene mutation plays a critical role in how our bodies process folic acid, which is essential for various bodily functions, from brain health to pregnancy. If your body can’t properly convert folic acid into its active form, 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, it can lead to a range of issues like infertility, miscarriages, ADHD, mood disorders, and digestive problems. In this episode, Gary Brecka reveals studies on how personalized supplementation can be the key to unlocking better health for you!
