210. Gary Brecka Live At The Healf Experience 2025 In London: Hydrogen Water and Amino Acids

We've done 276,000 clinical trials.

The United States, it's the sickest, fattest, most disease-ridden nation in the world.

As we age, we are slowly micro-poisoning ourselves to death.

That's where the miracle of hydrogen gas comes into play.

It is the only selective antioxidant on the surface of Mother Earth that I have ever found that has a profound impact.

This is such a phenomenal gas in the human body, and performance happens when we restore redox homeostasis, not when we just crush inflammation.

If we didn't have the inflammatory process, none of us would ever heal from injury.

The reason why I start every morning with all nine of the essential amino acids, all 91 essential minerals, and hydrogen gas, is because the big data tells us that that is the baseline for human optimization.

What is fascinating about my discovery as I've unlocked the power of hydrogen and hydrogen gas in the human body is

welcome back to the Ultimate Human Podcast.

Today's episode is a special one, recorded live from the Health Experience in London.

I took the stage to break down one of the most misunderstood topics in health: hydrogen water, and how hydrogen tablets can improve your energy, inflammation, and recovery.

I also dove deep into the science of amino acids, what they actually do in your body, and why they're essential for rebuilding every single cell you have.

If you've ever been skeptical, confused, or just wanted to understand the data on hydrogen tablets, this episode will give you the full picture.

So, whether you're new to hydrogen tablets or already using them, this talk will help you connect the dots and take your performance to the next level.

Let's get into it.

Hey, guys.

How are we doing, guys?

Welcome, London.

Awesome.

Thank you guys for coming into the ultimate human experience.

You know, we curated this experience for a reason, you know, because

probably the most often asked question that I get is, you know, what is your morning routine?

What do you supplement with?

And without sounding like I'm trying to sell you a bunch of supplements, you know, I just give you an honest answer.

You know, if you look at the data, big data, you know, very often, I think in the United States,

we get bogged down in the gold gold standard of science, which is the peer-reviewed, published, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

But the truth is that in the United States, for example, we've done 276,000 peer-reviewed, published, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials.

And we've done this in all kinds of areas of science and all kinds of areas of medicine.

And if you look at the outcomes of the vast majority of those sciences, it's led to the sickest, fattest, most disease-ridden nation in the world.

You know, the United States leads the world in five things: infant mortality, maternal mortality, type 2 diabetes, multiple chronic disease in a single biome, and morbid obesity.

And a lot of times, yes, randomized, peer-reviewed, published clinical trials that are placebo-controlled are incredible for getting accurate answers to certain hypotheses.

But we have to look at big data.

For example, we've never done a randomized clinical trial on parachutes.

Would anybody jump out of an airplane without one?

We've never had a placebo group and a control group.

Said, okay, you guys are going to jump out with a hope and a prayer, right?

You're very religious and connected to God.

And you guys are going to have a parachute.

And we're going to just see what happens.

You know, so very often the challenge with this is we take the same data and try to apply it to new knowledge and new thinking.

Artificial intelligence, in my opinion, is going to revolutionize the world because artificial intelligence can take 700 trillion independent variables and it can create an actionable result.

And big data is about to circumvent the entire system.

It is about to upend modern medicine in a way that's going to be catastrophic, catastrophic in a great way.

And I noticed this and knew this for years and years and years as I was a mortality expert because we had access to large data.

There were 371 million lives in the database that I had access to.

And you've heard me say this all the time.

If that database could ever see the light of day, it would permanently change the face of humanity.

And the reason why that database would change the face of humanity is because that database had the day, the date, the time, the location, and the cause of death for 371 million lives.

It did not care what was in the randomized clinical trial.

It did not care what

big pharma said about lowering LDL cholesterol and reducing cardiovascular disease.

It actually looked at big data.

And for two decades, I was like, this is all wrong.

I'm not saying all of those studies are wrong.

And I'm not saying that science shouldn't be peer-reviewed and published.

And we shouldn't do them in controlled trials.

But very often, we get so myopic in our thinking because, you know, the outcome of a certain trial says this, and that now becomes the gold standard.

And then years later, we realize we made a massive mistake.

And we've done this with everything from SSRI, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, to statins, to cardiovascular mitigation, to psychiatric therapy, to all kinds of areas where the data flies in the face of what the outcomes truly are.

And sadly, this cycle takes 10 years or 20 years, and we realize that we made a mistake.

You know, the entire globe was a part of the largest genomic experience that we've ever conducted on humanity.

And I don't want to divide this audience in half and start out by, you know, attacking vaccines because I'm not attacking vaccines.

But the peer-reviewed published randomized clinical data that was placebo-controlled said there was no risk outside of this trial.

The risk was very marginal.

But we actually had never done an experiment where we put messenger ribonucleic acid into the bodies of millions and millions of people.

And now we sort of, remember the acronym F-A-F-O?

Or we're in the O part right now.

We're in the find out part, right?

And so what I want to talk about today is, you know,

what is my morning routine and and what data do I have to support that morning routine?

Why am I such a huge fan of all nine of the essential amino acids?

Why am I such a fan of mineralizing the body?

Why am I such a big fan of hydrogen water?

What do those do in the human body?

What's the data say?

And what does the big, big data say about these things?

And

so if we start with...

um what i think is one of the greatest discoveries of our millennia it's it's not just those specific hydrogen tablets These are the tablets that I take because they create 12 parts per million hydrogen gas.

But what does the data say about hydrogen in human beings?

What does the data say about how evolutionarily we've gotten further and further and further away from this valuable gas?

And when we put this gas back into our bodies, what does it do?

Why do we need it?

Why were rivers and streams so fraught with hydrogen gas?

Why do we used to have so much hydrogen gas in our gut that fed hydrophiles?

And now we have entire classes of bacteria that are gone from our gut because we're missing this valuable nutrient, the lightest, most prevalent element in the entire universe.

10% of the body weight of everybody in this room is hydrogen.

And something as simple as this valuable gas has miraculous impact in the human body.

So let's look at what the randomized peer-reviewed published clinical trials say that are done in a placebo-controlled environment.

So it don't offend the big science nerds, but then we're going to talk about what the real big data says.

So if you're a fan of the science,

oh, well, you guys don't get to see that.

This guy's over here.

You just get to look at this massive whiteboard, but I'll tell you what's on the other side of this board.

If you had paid for the VIP ticket, you could actually see my whole presentation.

But

there are

so many impacts that this phenomenal, phenomenal gas, this molecule has in the human body.

Again, the smallest, lightest element in the universe, which means it can go anywhere in our body.

It can't be toxic to your body because 10% of your body weight is actually made up of this molecule.

And what is fascinating about my discovery as I've unlocked the power of hydrogen and hydrogen gas in the human body is, you know, when you look at the studies, when they look at its targeted effect on certain outcomes, like a 2001 study found that breathing high pressure hydrogen gas could cure parasite-induced liver inflammation.

Hydrogen gas administration decreased the expression of different oxidative stress stress markers.

These are markers of oxidation in the human body.

And we know that oxidation is what happens in our cellular membranes when our cellular membranes rust, sort of a term for rusting inside the human body.

We also know that aging is a progressive decline in mitochondrial function.

You know, yesterday I talked about how one of the most fascinating questions I was ever asked was, Gary, if you put all of the top experts in the world, the leading experts on aging,

on bio-optimization, on longevity, all the PhDs, the MDs, the researchers, and you got them to agree on one theory of aging, what would that be?

And I said, it's a really hard question, but I think we would all agree on the theory of immunofatigue, a slow, progressive overwhelming of the immune system.

As we age, we are slowly micro-poisoning ourselves to death, and our immune system has gone from spending the vast majority of its time policing us, not protecting us, policing our own cellular physiology, looking for senescent cells, cells that have hung around too long in your bloodstream that can no longer perform their function.

Everybody in this room has a certain percentage of senescent cells in your body.

These are red blood cells that are alive, but they can no longer carry oxygen.

They are platelets that are living, but they can no longer carry growth factors.

They're white blood cells that are circulating around in your plasma right now, but they can no longer amount an immune defense.

So they're useless.

They're lazy employees sitting on the payroll of your company, not doing their job.

And I'm going to teach you how we can fire those employees and put people in their seat that can actually perform their function, right?

The immune system actually eats them.

We don't eat employees that are lazy.

Maybe you do that in the UK.

You have this thing called redundancy.

You can't even fire anybody, no matter how little they work.

I mean, you guys got the whole equation screwed up.

At least we can fire you in the U.S.

So the immune system wouldn't fire you we would just eat you you know so we're we're cannibals um so the big data and you know it has more to say than even what the peer-reviewed research says what i find fascinating about hydrogen too is that when you when you look at the studies of hydrogen gas in the human body and its implication and this was a really interesting study um done in the journal of experimental gerontology published back in november of 2021 what i found fascinating about this study was that they used a control group for six months that drank hydrogen-infused water and a control group that drank just regular non-hydrogen-infused water.

And they measured an entire, one of the best controlled studies I've ever read.

And they used an entire control group.

And what they did was they used something called a tattoo marker of methylation.

Now, you know that I am a huge fan of methylation.

You know, I've dedicated the entire balance of my adult lifetime to the study of genetic methylation because I believe that the foundation of human function, longevity, wellness, anti-aging, is that our bodies must have the raw material that they need to do their job.

And I will tell you the three greatest deficiencies in human beings worldwide are vitamin D3,

minerals, and amino acids.

And when you become deficient in any one of these three things, the consequences are severe and they are long-lasting long-lasting and they are impactful.

And we rarely trace disease and pathology and dysfunction back to the actual missing nutrient.

If we just started with the basics, there are nine essential amino acids.

Essential means they are necessary for life.

There are 91 essential minerals, which means they are necessary for life.

There are two essential fatty acids, which means they are necessary for life.

So if you don't get those three, you will eventually die.

There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate.

Can we just marinate on that for a second?

She almost threw up.

Do you mean my croissant is not necessary for life?

No.

Your chocolate is, yeah, chocolate's the fourth necessary for life.

So we, you know, I think very often in,

especially in environments like this, you know, health conferences like this, we can just get paralysis of analysis walking around and we can make an argument for nearly every nutrient or every recovery tool.

But the question is, what does our body really need?

So I'm a deep believer that every human being, at least once in your lifetime, needs to do a genetic methylation test.

The reason why I believe so deeply in that is that that test will tell your body exactly what you are deficient in.

And that deficiency will never change.

If you have the MTHFR gene mutation, there will never be a time in your life where you can take folate or methylfolate folate and make the nutrient your body needs called or folate or folic acid and make the nutrient your body needs called methylfolate.

So you have to supplement with methylfolate.

If you don't, you will bear the consequences of being nutrient deficient in that arena.

Your genetics will tell you what your body can convert into the usable form and what it cannot.

I think it is the most valuable piece of information.

I think it is the foundation of where everyone needs to begin their health journey.

And I think for those of you that have children, the earlier you start them on this journey and stick that cheek swab in their mouth and find out what their little body is deficient in, the more fruitful their entire life will be.

So, if the foundation is genetic methylation, we test ourselves, we find out what our body can convert into the usable form and what it can't.

And now, we have supplemented with the basics.

We have given our body the methyl folate, the acadenosomethionine, or the trimethylglycine, what our body needs to perform at its best.

Now, we go to what should we be supplementing with and why?

And again, we just have to get back to the basics.

I am a big believer in all things Resveratrol and CoQ10 and St.

John's Word and Ashwagandha and NMN and nicotine irabicide and on and on and on.

But before we go down that myriad, that maze of possibilities, we have to cover the basics.

If you don't have the nine essential amino acids, if you don't have 91 essential minerals, if you don't have two essential fatty acids, and if you are not reducing inflammation and improving circulation, you are missing everything.

It's like when people tell me, where should I start on my wellness journey?

Like, what should I be doing to optimize function?

I always talk about sleep, whole food, and movement.

And the big data proves this.

The Blue Zone studies have proved this.

The people that are living beyond age 100 have two things in common: mobility into later in life, sense of community and purpose, and the absence of processed foods.

They eat a whole food diet, they cover the basics I'm going to talk about today,

and they move, and they have a sense of community and a sense of purpose.

So we know that those are irreplaceable.

We are not going to find longevity in a stem cell, in an exosome, in a red light therapy bed, in a frequency modality.

We are going to find it in the basics.

And so...

This was a fascinating study because it looked at a geriatric population and a lot of randomized clinical trials are done on the healthiest of populations.

And then we extrapolate what happens in the healthiest of population to the mass of populations.

What's fascinating about this study is they did it in the elderly population, which easily translates to the masses.

Ultimate athletes don't very often translate to

the masses, but the elderly is a great place for us to start.

And they used what was called a tattoo marker of methylation to measure their methylation.

They measured sit-stand ratios.

They did measurements of cognitive function, short-term recall, hand-eye coordination, speed, timing, agility, long-term recall, learned memory, focus, concentration, and across the board, all of those metrics improved simply by adding hydrogen gas to their routine.

And this was something that evolutionarily was very, very prevalent in our air.

It was prevalent in our streams.

It was prevalent in our food.

It was much more prevalent in our diet.

They use this therapeutic molecule to regulate oxidative stress and inflammation and apoptosis, cellular death.

But here's where the rubber really meets the road.

I'm going to get science-y just for a second.

I talked briefly about this yesterday, but in our body, we know that we have oxidative stressors, right?

Things that create oxidation.

When you say something is an antioxidant, what does that mean?

Can anyone define an antioxidant for me?

It has electrons to give.

Wow.

Have you been following me on Instagram?

I'm studying biomedicine.

Oh, you're studying biomedicine.

You're a very smart woman.

Yes.

It means that it donates electrons, right?

So when we say blueberries are antioxidants, yes, they are.

Why are they an antioxidant?

Because they donate electrons.

When you donate electrons to something that is causing oxidative stress, you neutralize that stress.

So 50 years ago, we took this theory too far and we developed the antioxidant theory of aging.

We said, oh, we're aging because we have too much oxidation.

And so the more antioxidants we put into the body, the less oxidation we'll have and the longer we'll live.

And we found that the polar opposite was true.

We started massive high-dose vitamin C infusions and we started massive doses of antioxidants in the sick and the elderly.

And especially one of the largest oncology studies ever performed was studied by reducing the oxidative stress in patients with cancer to try to help their body cope with cancer.

And we found that it turned cancer into turbo turbo cancers

because we suppressed oxidation too much.

So what we want in human beings is not to reduce oxidation too much.

What we want is something that is called redox homeostasis.

It is a fancy word for a perfect balance between oxidation and inflammation and actually putting those into balance.

The question is, how do you know when you are taking a supplement or you're laying in a red light bed or you're exercising?

How do you know when it's too much and when it's the right amount?

That's where the miracle of hydrogen gas comes into play.

It is the only selective antioxidant on the surface of Mother Earth that I have ever found that has the profound impact coming from a single molecule.

And the reason for that is this.

We can use the innate intelligence of the human body.

If I was to take a cell and go inside of a cell and I was to find the DNA, I mean to find the nucleus.

Inside of the nucleus of the cell is the DNA.

And if you can't tell, I am not an artist.

I'm a scientist.

So please forgive my drawings.

So inside the cell is the nucleus with the DNA.

The DNA is running the show.

You have 110 trillion of these inside of your cells.

And the DNA is actually not just making a copy of itself called replication, the DNA also is writing instructions into the cell.

By the way, this is where we screwed up with the vaccine because we stole the notepad from the DNA, its messages that it writes into the cell called messenger ribonucleic acid, mRNA, and we made a synthetic copy of that.

And we said, great, we were actually able to take a message from the DNA that it's sending into the cell.

We are able to capture that message.

We are able to copy it synthetically.

We are able to put it into a pharmaceutical and inject it into the mass population.

Only the thing that we didn't realize was the body's intelligence at writing these messages has that message degrade.

So, if I was the DNA and you guys were all cell minions, I would be standing up here writing instructions to you, telling you what to do.

You go make this protein, you throw this nutrient out, you bring this nutrient in, you make the spike protein.

And I would continue to write these messages, messenger RNA, into the cell.

And as you conducted that task, when you came back to your desk, that task would degrade.

It would be gone.

When we synthetically copied that message, the synthetic message never degrades.

So we can pick up mRNA, synthetic mRNA in the urine of vaccinated patients three years after a vaccination.

The signal never turns off.

With hydrogen, it's very, very different.

It controls this signal in a very unique way.

So inside of the DNA, we have this messenger.

Outside of the cell, we have all of this oxidative stress going on.

We have an oxygen molecule, what's called an oxygen singlet.

Oxygen, that's really good for human beings, right?

Of course it is, until there's too much.

That creates oxidative stress.

If you're getting in a hyperbaric chamber, you have to be taking hydrogen enriched water either prior to getting in or prior to getting or immediately upon getting out.

Or you have no idea how much additional oxidative stress you have put on your body.

You're flooding the blood with oxygen under pressure, forcing oxygen into the cell membrane into an area called the phospholipid bilayer.

And if there's too much, it will rust the phospholipid bilayer.

Yes, you might feel better, but if you don't reduce that oxidation, you could be doing more damage with hyperbarics than you are intentionally doing.

If you use hydrogen gas after a hyperbaric session, you get a perfect union of oxidative stress.

So you have oxygen singlets.

Great until there's too much.

You have something called superoxide.

Have you guys heard of that in the human body?

Superoxide

is excellent for human beings until there's too much.

We have hydrogen peroxide.

All of us have this in our bloodstream and circulating around our cells.

Very beneficial for human beings until there's too much.

There is one oxidative free radical that there is no known benefit for in human beings, and that is called the hydroxyl-free radical.

So what if there was a way for us to go into all of these oxidative stressors and not push them down too much, but just to return them to homeostasis.

And when they got right down to the perfect level, stop lowering them.

And if we found a hydroxyl-free radical to neutralize it, because there's no known benefit, and so we reduce that stress and restore homeostasis.

That is what hydrogen gas does in the human body.

It uses a pathway to the DNA called the NRF2 pathway.

And that might not mean anything to anybody in this room, but what this pathway does is when you come in the door to the DNA through the NRF2 pathway, you are telling the DNA, I want you to be in control of the next sequence of operations.

And so what hydrogen does is it influences this pathway.

It enters the cell.

It influences the DNA to restore all of this oxidative stress back to balance.

It restores perfect redox homeostasis.

You can't overdo it with hydrogen gas.

You can't underdo it with hydrogen gas.

So simply by taking an an elemental magnesium tablet, and by the way, you can leave with it for free today.

You can sample it back there and you can take one of those packages, take it home for yourself.

And instead of doing anything different with your morning routine tomorrow, I want you to take a glass of water, an eight ounce glass of water.

You can pick up all of these for free while you're here.

I want you to put all nine of the essential amino acids into that water.

I want you to add all 91 trace minerals with a mineral salt that is mined in the Baja Peninsula of Mexico.

And I want you to drop a hydrogen water tablet in there.

When that hydrogen water tablet dissolves and you have 12 part per million hydrogen gas, I want you to drink that water back and just see how the lights come on.

That is inflammation and oxidation returning to balance.

That jolt of energy you feel is not stimulation.

It is the lack of inflammation.

And so you go through this pathway and you reduce all of these oxidative stressors back to normal.

Hydrogen gas is the only selective antioxidant that we know of that does exactly that through the NRF2 pathway.

This is why you see it improving athletic performance in athletes.

You see it improving cognitive function in the elderly.

You see it deepening the waves of sleep, REM and deep sleep in the average population.

This is why you see improved athletic performance because recovery is enhanced because of the delayed onset muscle soreness is reduced.

This is why you see cognitive function improve, hand-eye coordination, speed, timing, and agility.

You know, I manage six of the top 10 UFC fighters in the world.

Every single one of them I have taking hydrogen gas.

Every professional athlete that I work with is taking hydrogen gas because this is such a phenomenal gas in the human body.

And performance happens when we restore redox homeostasis, not when we just crush inflammation.

If we didn't have the inflammatory process, none of us would ever heal from injury.

Right.

So

I wanted to just give you that little bit of background so you didn't think I was just pushing hydrogen water to push hydrogen water.

It is a phenomenal, it's a miracle molecule in the human body.

And you're more than welcome to read these studies.

I mean, the big data is even more in support of what several weeks of hydrogen consumption can do.

By the way, this study was actually done.

comparing the effect of GLP-1s.

By the way, do you know that most people just heard of GLP-1s when Ozempic came out?

GLP-1 is a hormone that's released in the gut in response to nutrient density.

This is why when we eat whole foods, we get full faster.

When we eat nutrient-deprived foods like highly processed foods, we get hungrier faster because

these highly processed foods are specifically engineered.

By the way, Big Pharma and Big Food have known this for decades.

There are entire research labs that are designed to do nothing more than circumvent your response to GLP-1, to allow you to take in high amounts of calories and secrete zero GLP-1.

Because if I can get you to take in a thousand calories and have no GLP-1 response, I can get you to take in another thousand calories.

And if you have no GLP response, I can get you to take in another thousand calories.

Their advertising is right.

You can't eat just one, right?

Who is that?

Lays?

Potato chips?

Yeah, at least they came out and admitted it.

They didn't just tell you that we researched this, so you'd eat the whole freaking bag, right?

And so processed foods are designed to circumvent human physiology.

You know, the research on artificial sweeteners, the vast majority of the research on artificial sweeteners, in fact, about 85% of the chemical composition of an artificial sweetener is actually not designed to taste sweet.

You know what it's designed to do?

Ding the dopamine receptor.

It's called the RF1A2 receptor.

It's on the back of the tongue, and it actually gives you a dopamine reward for taking in an artificial sweetener.

You ever known somebody that's been addicted to diet soda, for example?

Why are they addicted to diet soda?

It's not because it tastes amazing.

It's because that aspartame was hammering the RF1A2 receptor.

They were getting a dopamine ding, the dopamine reward every time they drank that.

This is why whole foods is the secret to longevity.

This is why all of the blue zones had the absence of processed foods, not the presence of a dogmatic diet.

It wasn't the carnivore diet that extended life.

It wasn't the paleo diet.

It wasn't raw foods.

It wasn't keto.

It wasn't paleo.

It wasn't pescatarian.

It wasn't vegan.

It wasn't vegetarian.

It was whole foods, right?

Because they work with your cellular biology.

When they actually looked at GLP-1 studies, the release of GLP-1 in the gut, and all they did was add hydrogen-rich water to a meal, you secreted significantly more GLP-1 in response to a meal eaten with hydrogen-rich water than you would to a meal eaten without it.

So it is an actual

appetite suppressant, not an appetite suppressant, it's a GLP-1 agonist.

It helped to release more GLP-1 and helped you feel satiated early.

So we could go on and on and on about the studies of that, but the reason why I start every morning with all nine of the essential amino acids, all 91 essential minerals, and hydrogen gas is because the big data tells us that that is the baseline for human optimization.

The reason why I am an enormous fan of perfect aminos is because of this.

You know, the reason why we have protein equivalents, one kilogram of body weight for every gram of protein, you know, or what do you have to take in one gram of protein for every kilogram of body weight?

Is protein is actually useless in the human body.

All protein becomes the same thing.

What does all protein break down into?

Amino acids.

Protein does not build muscle.

Protein doesn't build natural killer cells.

Protein does not build collagen, elastin, and fibrin.

Amino acids build those things.

Amino acids are the building blocks of life.

The reason why we have protein equivalents is to try to get to the amino acid equivalent.

So we're gobbling up a ton of protein so that we can actually have the right base of amino acids.

But what happens when you're eating protein, men or women, and you get just, you're missing just one of the nine essential amino acids?

What if you only have eight of the essential amino acids in that protein?

What happens to the rest of that protein?

It gets converted into fat or into sugar.

So if you want to be efficient about protein, you get efficient about amino acids.

You fuel the body with amino acids.

Yes, protein in your diet is really good, and I think protein equivalents are amazing.

It's very rare that women, for example, can actually meet their daily protein equivalent without going way over their macros.

It is really hard for women to sit down and eat four chicken breasts, six eggs, and a fat ri.

Unless you're my wife,

you can eat,

as lean as she is, that woman can put down a ribeye.

I'm not kidding you, like nothing I've ever seen.

But wife, no, you're beautiful and you're fit as a fiddle, but you can suck down a ri.

I mean, let's just call a spade a spade.

So it's very rare for women to be able to hit those

amino acid equivalent without going way over their macros.

This is why I fell in love with Perfect Aminos.

It wasn't to sell a product.

I don't put products on my platform just to get an affiliate link and push them out to the audience.

They have to have a rationale for me to use them every day in my daily life and for it to be a part of my platform.

This company wasn't founded by the folks that are behind the desk right there.

It was founded by a doctor named Dr.

Minkoff.

And Dr.

David Minkoff is in his...

How old is Dr.

Minkoff now?

So he's 78 years old, and he is still competing in full-distance triathlons.

That's someone I'll take advice from.

He's also an oncologist and a board-certified MD.

I have been a part of the miracle healing that he has done in hundreds of patients.

We have actually shared clients and walked people out of some of the darkest moments in their life back into some of the brightest moments in their life.

And I became an enormous fan of Dr.

Minkoff.

And when he formulated perfect aminos and took me down the rabbit hole of the science about utilization, if you had, there are no calories, it does not break a fast, it's the equivalent of 29 grams of whey protein.

Most of you, to get in 29 grams of whey protein, that is a thick, heavy shake, about a quart of fluid and whey protein in the same amount of amino acid equivalent you would get from one scoop of perfect amino.

So you get all nine nine of the essential amino acids, 99% of which gets utilized by the body and 1% gets converted to fat or to sugar.

If you look at the comparison between whole eggs, meat, fish, poultry, soy, nuts, or branch chain amino acids, which by the way is really garbage.

I hope you guys know that.

Branched chain amino acids are just sugar water, right?

If you look at all of the 22 amino acids that we have, nine of them are essential.

Three of those essential amino acids are branch chain.

And the big theory was because those three amino acids are utilized at the muscle level, we should just shovel in a bunch of branch chain amino acids.

But the truth is, as you shovel in branch-chain amino acids, virtually 100% of the BCAAs are converted to fat or to sugar.

Leucine, isoleucine, and valine on their own will not build muscle.

You need all nine of the essential amino acids.

Leucine, isoleucine, and valine, branch-chain amino acids will not build collagen or elastin or fibrin.

You cannot make a natural killer cell.

You cannot enhance your hair, your skin, your nails, or build muscle.

So let's just dispel the BCAA theory and get back to all nine of the essential amino acids.

So that's, this is the reason why they made it into my protocol and the reason why I wanted to talk about each of them specifically.

And also, you know, if you looked, I talked yesterday about how scary it would be if you looked at the comparison of a 1945 soil lineage study to a 2022, which was the last time we did it, soil lineage study.

You know, our soil used to be so fertile.

We used to use potash and manure, and we didn't put glyphosate and paraquat and insecticides and pesticides and herbicides.

We didn't glean our fields.

We didn't overproduce crops from the same soil.

When the soil gets that depleted, the animals that eat that soil are depleted.

The plants that grow in that soil are depleted.

It would fascinate you how nutrient depleted the vast majority of our food supply is, organic or not.

The absence of of chemicals, herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides, is not the presence of nutrition.

It's simply the absence of chemicals.

So we need to, in modern society, get back to replenishing our body with the 91 essential minerals that we need, the nine essential amino acids that we need, and adding hydrogen gas as a selective antioxidant so we don't have to guess about whether there's too much or too little oxidation in our body.

That's why I believe that those three are foundational to every single morning routine.

It will cost you about $3 a day to add those to your morning routine.

And if you don't want to use these products, use a different product, but make sure that your morning routine includes that.

Supplementing for deficiency, not the sake of supplementing, and covering the basics with amino acids, minerals, and hydrogen gas.

You know what else is fascinating about minerals?

I also talked about this yesterday, so sorry if I'm repeating myself for a few of you.

I spoke at a conference called an Osteostrong Conference a few months ago, and this is a franchise that's just dedicated to bone health and bone density and increasing bone strength, because we know that these hormetic stressors in the body are very good for us.

We respond by strengthening.

If you don't load a bone, it doesn't strengthen.

If you don't tear a muscle, it doesn't grow.

If you don't challenge the immune system, it weakens.

Right?

I mean, the worst thing that ever happened to humanity during the pandemic, and I'm sorry for you guys that are on the other side of this fence, was residential quarantining, masking, and and social distancing.

Those actually crushed the immune profile of the planet.

We had a global weakening of the immune system because you know what human beings are meant to do?

What you're doing right now, sitting three feet away from a stranger, getting inoculated with all kinds of nonsense, probably 1,800 pathogens you will pick up today.

And guess what?

None of you will get sick because that is a walk in the park for your God-given immune system.

But when we took people out of contact with other human beings, our immune system retreated.

And then all of a sudden you started hearing about things like monkeypox.

I was like, what the hell is monkeypox?

I've never heard of that.

It's always been there.

It's just now started to infect people because our immune system was so weak.

We're on our eighth iteration of Omnicron, the mutated virus from SARS-CoV-2.

How many have you gotten your eighth booster?

Good.

Okay.

I actually know people that have gotten eight boosters, double vaxxed, boosted, and now you're on your.

So if you're following the vaccine schedule, you should be on number eight.

Number nine is coming out in the middle of November.

So stay tight, catch up, get the last seven, get the ninth one in November.

Why do we need to keep inoculating ourselves if it's an actual vaccine that prevents the infection and prevents the spread?

So I believe so much more in our God-given immune system.

If we had taken the masks off, reduced the social distancing, and allowed human beings to be in contact with other human beings, we would have ended that pandemic 17 months earlier.

That is absolutely my deep belief.

And so the reason why I believe that we need to empower our human physiology and not rely on chemicals and synthetics and pharmaceuticals is the innate intelligence of the body far outweighs the capacity of modern medicine to understand it.

When we study things in isolation, we usually find out 10 years later that we made a mistake.

When you take a cell out of a human being and you put it in a petri dish in a lab and you look how it behaves in a lab and you assume that if you take that cell and put it back in the body, it's going to behave the same way, you're wrong.

Cells behave in communities, just like human beings behave in communities.

And unless we study them in the community that they're in, we get very myopic, misguided research.

This is what led to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

This is what led to statin medications, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, all kinds of consequences from these things because we studied them in isolation, not in human beings.

And so

as my morning routine, you're welcome to take a picture of that.

That's what I do every morning.

Some people ask me, how are you in your 14th city in 18 days?

That's why.

Hydrogen water, amino acids, sea salt.

And it's amazing that you can get all 91 trace minerals from sea salt.

But in any case, I was doing this talk at

this osteostrong lecture.

It was fascinating to me how many physicians in that audience still thought that our bones were made of calcium.

That you need to supplement with a bunch of calcium and then put the bone under a load and the bone would actually

strengthen.

That's actually patently false.

Our bones are actually not made of calcium.

Our bones are made of something called hydroxyapatite.

Same thing your teeth are made out of.

And hydroxyapatite forms when you take calcium and phosphorus and you put them together, you form something called hydroxyapatite, which forms strong bones.

But in order for calcium and phosphorus to combine, you need 12 minerals.

The vast majority of people with osteopenia and osteoporosis or weak bones are mineral deficient.

They are not calcium deficient.

It is extraordinarily rare in modern society to have a calcium deficient patient, a calcium deficient human being.

It just doesn't happen anymore.

And so the mineral deficiency is what is causing the demineralization of bones.

It's causing the demineralization of our enamel, the demineralization of our teeth.

It makes soft teeth, soft bones, and it makes soft skin.

And so, this is why I believe so much in this is why we put together the ultimate human experience so you could experience all three of those things.

I wanted to give you the rationale behind those things.

Why do we do genetic methylation testing?

Because what goes into his body, and her body, and her body, and her body are treated vastly different.

No two human beings are exactly the same.

The mass adoption of things for a population is another very dangerous thing that we do in medicine.

We assume that what goes into everyone's body is treated exactly the same thing.

In fact, when the pandemic first happened and the vaccines first came out, I knew nothing about them.

My initial hesitation was only by observation because I sit on the board of the NFL Alumni Association.

I'm their health services director.

So we have 22,000 professional athletes in this organization, and we care for like the nose tackle at the time for the Green Bay Packers.

This guy is six feet six inches tall.

Okay.

He's bigger than my big boy Drew here.

He's a very big boy.

Sorry, Drew.

There's bigger guys than you.

No one meaner than you.

By the eyes of their bigger.

So

he's six feet six inches tall and he walks around at 340 pounds.

I also have a five-year-old niece who's 49 pounds.

You will never convince me that these two human beings get the exact same dose of the exact same thing and have the exact same reaction.

That was my initial hesitation.

I'm like, that doesn't make any sense.

He looks like he swallowed a water buffalo and she's been playing with Legos all day.

They don't get the same thing.

And so

by hydrating, mineralizing, putting basic amino acids and all 91 essential minerals, you are starting your day by giving your physiology exactly what it needs to do its job.

Why don't we just give the body a chance?

I don't want to belabor you guys.

I know it's hot in this room.

It's hard to sit here and listen to a lecture when you're sitting in the heat.

I'll take three questions from the audience because if there are three questions, probably three other people have the question.

Yes, ma'am.

What do you recommend to counteract any remnants of the radiation?

Remnants of the radiation on the brain?

So remnants of radiation anywhere in the body and remnants of radiation on the brain are threefold.

How old is your son?

He's nine.

Okay, so God bless the fact that he's nine because the neuroplasticity of his brain is not going to finish forming until he's about 24 years old.

So any of the symptomology he has right now, he can grow out of.

It is critical that you do methylation testing so he's supplemented for deficiency.

And I would really recommend transcranial red light therapy.

Transcranial red light therapy uses more than just red light.

It uses high-powered lasers to bathe the brain in red light.

One of the issues with radiation is it destroys the mitochondrial function, not at the site of radiation, but at the pathways through radiation, right?

So when they radiate the brain or any other targeted spot in the body for that matter, it looks like, you remember those

old lamps that used to have, I'm sort of dating myself here back to the 80s, but it had a bubble in the middle of it and had a globe and you could put your hands on it and the little electricity would like go out to the sides.

So this is kind of what it looks like when they radiate, right?

They take this sphere of the skull and you see all of these different pathways come in and where they all cross, that's where the radiation is targeted.

But it passes through healthy tissue on the way there.

So that radiation beam is damaging that tissue on the way in.

And so this is what we call diffuse or global radiation damage.

One of the best things to regenerate mitochondrial function at its root

in the brain is with transcranial red light.

I would also have him doing methylation pathway testing.

Neuronic makes a good helmet.

Weber makes a good helmet.

These are helmets that are actually meant to go transcranial, much higher power than regular red light, which will not, it will reflect off of the dura, not pass through the dura.

So I would be using regular transcranial red light, and it's about a three to six minute session a day.

These are as light as a bicycle helmet.

The science has advanced tremendously.

And you don't actually target the site of radiation, you target the diffuse global, both both hemispheres of the brain.

Yeah.

Okay, one more question.

Thank you.

You're super cool.

I have an Oscar penny, and my GP just decided to start with the HRT immediately.

And I'm wondering your opinion about HRT because it started to become very common, especially in the UK.

And I've watched a lot of

podcasts and YouTube videos

by the scientists from America.

So I'm wondering your opinion about HRTs.

Yeah, so I have a very positive opinion about hormone replacement therapy.

Here's the caveat.

About 70% of the clients that I see that qualify for hormone replacement therapy do not need hormones.

And the reason for that is they are deficient in the raw material that their body needs to make hormones.

So if you are deficient in something called DHEA, which is a very, very common deficiency in perimenopausal and premenopausal females, I'm not making any assumptions about you, by the way.

But it is a very common deficiency.

DHEA, dihydroepiandrosterone, is the precursor to make hormones.

If you are clinically deficient in vitamin D3, if your D3 is below 60 to 80 nanograms per deciliter, you are a candidate for low hormones, not for hormone therapy.

That being said, I think that you should do the Hallmark gold standard test for hormone replacement therapy, which is called a Dutch test.

Please don't have your hormones replaced from a simple blood test.

A blood test is a snapshot in time.

It will tell you your luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, progesterone, pregnenolone, testosterone, free testosterone, and estrogen as a snapshot snapshot in time.

What's the most important thing in all of female hormone therapy, and this is critical, is not to treat the level, it's to treat the ratios.

This is true in men and women.

If a man is walking around with testosterone at a 900 and estrogen at 70, no problem.

If a man is walking around with testosterone at 300 and an estrogen at 70, massive problem.

This is a dude that's crying at children's movies, right?

And has tender breasts.

So, you know,

the issue is the ratio, and the Dutch test will give you the ratio.

The second thing is if you are going to replace hormones, you replace all of the hormones in the sequence.

Hormone replacement therapy is exactly what its name sounds like.

It is a replacement therapy.

I always use this example when I teach HRT supplementation classes.

If you have two men, let's say, one with a testosterone of 200 and one with a testosterone of 800, and you're going to put them on hormone injections, who gets more testosterone?

The guy with 200 or the guy with 800?

Who gets more testosterone?

They're going to get exactly the same amount.

The reason why is both of their production is going to zero.

So what happens is we make the mistake of treating the level, and we believe that putting a hormone into the body is cumulative.

It's not.

Supplementation, if you have a B12 level of 500 and you take B12, it can go to 1200.

It will stack on top of your level.

When you replace a hormone, the hormone that exists in production, your endogenous production goes to zero.

So it is important to replace the entirety of that hormone, not to supplement for the difference between where it is and where your GP wants it to be.

It's important to supplement for the entire cycle.

The best way to get that dosage is to take a Dutch test.

And you will usually end up replacing everything from pregnantolone to estrogen.

There's three different forms of estrogen.

There's E1, E2, and E3.

They play different roles at different time in a woman's cycle, meaning some are higher when women are menstruating, some are higher postmenopausal, and some are higher during peri- and premenopause.

So it's important to know exactly where you are in the cycle and there to replace the entire cascade of hormone.

By the way, the very same study that linked estrogen supplementation to breast cancer has demystified, de-linked the link between hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer.

So if you're still one of those people, women, that is apprehensive about hormone replacement therapy because you're worried about the increased risk of breast cancer that has been debunked.

Okay, my team is telling me that we have to wrap it up.

Guys, please, these are free while you are in here.

Please experience the essential amino acids.

Take one of those shakers home with you.

They're free.

Grab one.

And if you haven't done your genetic test, please do.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.
