Insights on Health Optimization and Longevity

so many people are suffering from brain fog weight gain water retention poor response to exercise poor sleep poor deep sleep and they think that these are just consequences of Aging they're not they're consequences of Gary Brea is a human biologist to say that this guy has changed my life is the understatement of the century I will add 7 years to the lifespan and the health span of every person in this room of all the bioh hacks I'm probably most excited about hydrogen gas and hydrogen water do you have a impact do you feel different no question I think it's the most overlooked in all of biohacking today we know that we can't change the pH of the body by drinking alkaline water we can change the pH of the body by adding hydrogen gas this is what I call the Golden Age of Health span why some people live to 120 and others are dead at 50 there's a reason and we're going to be able to understand that and begin to impact that now that's a moonshot ladies and gentlemen everybody Welcome to moonshots my guest today is Gary Brea renowned human biologist biohacker and Longevity expert with over 20 years of experience on optimizing Human Performance and functional medicine Gary and I are going to be talking about the technology that's available to you today in your home in your life to help you extend your health span and your lifespan he's the co-founder of 10x Health Systems past CEO of streamlined Medical Group and the host of The Ultimate human podcast I recently visited him in Miami got a chance to play with his toys he is the kid with the most biology and ultimate hacking toys out there we'll be going through it what you can use today uh what he does and when he does it uh you're going to want to take some notes here and decide what you want on your Christmas list all right bu let's jump into our podcast on the technology you can use for optimizing your health and performance Gary welcome to moonshots buddy I'm so excited to be here man I really am yeah you know it's like I enjoyed being at your home in Miami uh it was a technology showcase for sure you know and and we're going to talk about uh a range of technologies that people need to understand are becoming available today that can help you first off understand what's going on inside your body and then how to improve it uh and these are not technologies that are super expensive they're not technologies that take a huge amount of time uh but they are hacks and tricks and so forth and I think we're going to start to see especially as AI starts to play into this I agree this coming decade you know I'm imagining that when I come back to Gary Brea's home uh in the next few years I'm going to be you're going to be sitting there talking to Jarvis and Jarvis Jarvis is going to be picking up all of your you know all of your sensors on your body and saying Gary hop in the hydren bath I need some cryo I need this it's going to be I mean you can turn on your AI biohacker support system right right right yeah I believe in that too you know I think everybody's excited about my biohacking habit except my wife cuz I every single room in the house has got something in it you know um I mean I guess there are other things better things you could or worse things you could be addict I I don't collect cars or anything like that I mean she was in the jacuzzi uh right right there anyway at the time yeah she was in the co plunge she in the C plunge that's right yeah yeah and um uh but I think when I finally put the H cat machine when I put the transdermal ozone machine in our master bedroom she was like okay I've had enough of your Bing that um but it's amazing you know I mean it's I'm just have a childlike fascination with human performance and and cellular biology and and all of the technology this bridge between artificial um intelligence technology and and human optimization and you know there some really fascinating Technologies out there not not all of them are very expensive e either that have significant impacts on our cellular biology yeah and we're going to we're going to talk about that and I I think uh this is what I call the Golden Age of Health span this is the age of the healthspan Revolution uh and I want people to understand what's possible today and and I think you know actually it's funny because you and Tony Robbins I've been in both of your homes Tony's a dear friend and a partner and you've been there as well and you've got the best toys on the planet yeah but we just collect you know the right toys you know some people collect cars um you know we collect biohacking devices yeah well we get we we'll chat that now uh what do we got here and mine is colored red and yours is colored blue yeah yours just needs to be charged mine tell me that's charged this is a reflection of my inner you know in it didn't turn red when you grabbed it this is hydrogen gas I mean probably of of all of all the bioh hacks um you know under $30 a month let's say I'm probably most excited about hydrogen gas and hydrogen water um you know this this bottle will run you about $250 but you can get tablets these Elemental magnesium tablets and drop them in in a bottle of water and create high par per million hydrogen gas yeah but I think it's the most overlooked uh modality in all of biohacking today so let's dive in there because you know listen I'm a scientist I'm a physician I'm a biohacker and understanding fundamentally what's driving hydrogen's benefit I'd love to understand it well there's there are lots of of studies and I'll send them to you so you can link them in the show notes U on on hydrogen gas and its capacity to lower inflammation improve circulation um to improve markers of methylation there's really interesting study that I I I thought it's probably worth mentioning in in in the Journal of experimental gerentology it was published in November of 2021 and was interesting about this study and and we could talk about a lot of the other clinical evidence for hydrogen gas um which is a very pre prevalent gas in the human body it's it's harmless to human beings um it is an antioxidant right it actually donates uh electrons but uh historically and and evolutionarily we have reduced the amount of hydrogen gas that is in our diets that is in our gut microbiome that is in our water most of our water is very still now if you scooped water out of a running stream you'd find high part per million hydrogen versus bottled water which is going to be it uh more stagnant you most of the time it's been sitting for about two years it's a really interesting thing you could do it even at home um you can order off of Amazon for a couple of bucks you can order something called an orp meter oxidative reduction potential you just go on Amazon they're between 12 and 15 bucks and this is a mill voltage meter that will actually measure the capacity of a fluid like water to either slightly cause oxidation or to reduce oxidation actually and you want this number to be negative the more negative the number the more it has the capacity to reduce inflammation and what you'll find is if you poured standard bottle water into here it would have a positive orp meaning it's not reducing inflammation it's actually causing some oxidation um of about 150 to 200 the second you hit that button and add hydrogen gas or you drop an elemental magnesium tablet in that um glass of water and it feses into hydrogen gas you'll see the orp drop to -400 500 and this this study in the uh Journal of experimental gerontology um back in 2021 actually looked at uh a six-month Placebo controlled um randomized group of is this about the acidification of your body effectiv yeah it's about the acidification of your body exactly because we know that we can't change the pH of the Body by drinking alkaline water we can change the pH of the body by adding hydrogen gas um micro bubbles of hydrogen gas to to the to your water because pH stands for the potential of hydrogen it's a it's a charge if you want to change the charge in the body change the charge with hydrogen or you can do it by touching the surface of the Earth or laying on a pmf mat and using a low gal current but what's really fascinating is most studies will look at healthy populations when they want to study recovery or traumatic brain injuries or post-surgical recovery this particular study looked at 70-year-old um men and women over a six-month period of time with a some were just drinking regular water the others were drinking High part per million hydrogen water and and I really encourage your readers to your your your viewers to to look this study up it's incredible and they they actually used um uh well-known markers of methylation one called tto um tet methylcytosine deoxygenase to actually measure the impact on on methyl metion so cellular methylation which is a marker of cellular metabolism how well your cells are actually taking nutrients and converting them into the usable form um they measured uh choline levels in in uh the left frontal over of the brain they measured um uh creatine levels in the right parietal uh area of the brain they measured sit standand ratios um so they found that it was an antiarc Capen measured several markers of inflammation C reactive protein creatine phosphokinase and others and across the board just simply adding hydrogen gas to the water improved all of these markers including tele length aming pretty let me put some numbers against this so how much hydrogen gas uh enriched water will you consume per day so in in the mornings I'll use it instead of caffeine so um you know a t single tablet will get you to between nine and 12 parts per million um hydrogen some people can tolerate more than others um I drink four or five of those a day four or five tablets four or five of those tablets throughout the day or four or five of these bottles throughout the day it'll mitigate all of the effects of travel um it I mean if you want to do an interesting experiment when you when you wake up uh in the morning take four or five of these Elemental magnesium tablets um four or five of them drop them in about a half a liter of water about 750 mls of water um in room temperature and about 50 seconds they they will effres and those micro bubbles will be in the water and just drink that entire 750 Millers of water and just feel how switched on you are really you oh you instantly switched on you can feel the inflammatory Cascade dropping you feel more mentally alert more clear more cognizant I mean sounds like I'm just trying to sell hydrogen water but I mean technically I am I'm just I think of all of the biohacks that are out there you know you got a red light bed it costs $119,000 and Elemental magnesium H2 tabs will cost you less than a buck a day yeah um and will completely change the trajectory listen so you know I am again an experimentalist and it is does do you have a visceral impact do you feel different no question um that you will feel different I mean the the markers for Sleep improved in the majority of these people you found better deep and REM sleep and you know as we know deep sleep is where we're detoxifying our lymphatic systems active um REM sleep is where we're assembling memories and putting the cognitive actions of the day together with our subconscious and and our our learning about um about uh carbonated water how do you feel about that so CO2 I think has the opposite effect I I I I haven't seen any studies on carbonated beverages having an impact on inflammation cognitive function uh joint are you are you warning people against using carbonated water I think if you're going to drink water you should drink still water with with hydrogen um I think there's there's the two shouldn't even be in the same I'm going so I have not been and I will go and run this experiment for myself I'll I'll I'll link the studies and you know I even have a hydrogen bath at the house I saw that when we were taking the tour and and in fact and in fact the way you described it was such that okay if I have 20 minutes extra I'm jumping in the bathroom no no question so what's your so this is so we'll show an image of this in a little bit but uh this is a this is a normal bathtub where the external hydrogen generator that's bubbling hydrogen into the water and you're not consuming it you're just bathing it it's going right transdermal so you you it's it's it's a hydrogen gas generator you essentially fill it up with distilled water and what it will do is it'll take the distilled water it'll break it apart it'll throw the oxygen into the air and it'll put the hydrogen gas we got this up on the screen here that's the generator um that that that is an absolute Game Changer I think if I only had a single biohacking device it would be a tossup between that and a red light therapy bed um and red light a good red light bed is going to cost you over 100 Grand that'll cost you Seven Grand so a hydron bath is is Grand yeah um and there are places where you can go and do this I mean so what's the okay I'm still trying to understand as a physician and a scientist how this is impacting me well when you say something is an antioxidant what does that mean what does it mean when blueberries are antioxidants it means that they're donating ions it means they're reducing inflammation so and and very specifically if you can get hydrogen gas to go transdermal which you can you're affecting microvascular circulation if you look at the our circulatory system and a lot of people don't realize that you know 70% of our circulation is not actually done by our heart nobody has a heart that's strong enough to pump blood from the center of your chest to the tip of your toes through all the capillaries in your brain your liver your lung your pancreas your kidneys the heart's circulating about 30 to 32% of the blood in our circulatory system and the rest of it is done by an activity called vasomotion or vasomotor it's almost think of a snake swallowing a mouse right so pumps the blood to the entrance of these very small capillaries and then there's a wave like parol and you've got these valves in your Venus system that only flow the blood in One Direction only flow the blood in One Direction in this phase of motor activity again like a snake swallowing a mouse and the mouse never goes back the other way similar to how our intestinal tract works there's no pressure behind the intestinal tract there's a peristaltic motion to the to the intestinal tract and and this is the first part of our circulatory system to be compromised if you think of 70% of our circulation is is microvascular and it it needs a vasomotor or vasomotion activity in order to function you could improve uh 70% of your circulation if you were able to affect vasomotor activity um which transdermal hydrogen will oral hydrogen will do the same thing so I want to put some numbers on this again so you said okay run the experiment have 3/4s of a liter of water put in four or five the tabs down it see how you feel instead of instead of instead of next time you have a hangover take four or five I I don't drink but if you drink and you get a hangover or you just have a headache you have a migraine you have headache you feel brain fog and you need to be awake um take four or five of those um H2 tabs uh drop them in water you can you can get them at drink H2 tabs.com like I said it's less than a buck a day um one of the reasons why I'm so fascinated by it and drop those in there and just drink that 750 milliliters of water and you're I I promise you the worst of all headaches or worst of all hangovers will be gone in 10 or 12 amazing so having done that what do you do during the day do you continue this level of consumption yes just a single um tablet in in 12 to 16 ounces of water I I you know I drink the Mountain Valley Spring water it comes in the bottles so it's I think 750 mls is half a liter you can get the big liters too um just put a single hydrogen tablet in there and just sip on that throughout throughout the day I'll take four or five of those throughout the day it's it's an absolute Game Changer everybody Peter here if you're enjoying this episode please help me get the message of abundance out to the world we're truly living during the most extraordinary time ever in human history and I want to get this mindset out to everyone please subscribe and follow wherever you get your podcasts and turn on notifications so we can let you know when the next episode is being dropped all right back to our episode let's go back to the bath one second um and again the technology is is pretty direct and pretty simple uh it's bubbling in uh you described me a few of the athletes that you've treated and it's been a GameChanger for them so who comes in why are you saying jump in the bath how long are they in the bath for and what's the impact um so your one that's in public domain recently um uh Jon Jones you know when he was preparing for his fight I think he fought on November 16th of last year was his last heavyweight fight um he was in intending to retire uh initially after that fight I I sat next to him at a UFC fight in the sphere um and uh he leaned over and and he and he put his hand on my my leg he grabbed my I like oh God you do whatever you want bro and uh and he literally looks he looks me in the eye and he goes are you uh you're a man of God aren't you and I said yeah yeah I am and he said um I feel like God put you in my life at this moment um I really need to talk to you and I uh uh and he's put this out in the public domain and um when I spoke to him he said listen I'm for the last 12 or 15 years I just wake up every morning morning in excruciating pain I mean he's a division one wrestler he was you know beat up his body a lot he beat up his body he's the greatest uh heavyweight maybe maybe one of the greatest Fighters according to Dana White to ever live um I I believe that um and he's an absolute Gem of a human being um he's an absolute Gem of a human being but um so I a few weeks later I flew out to his uh fight Camp um and when he told me about how sore and achy all of his joints were he was having a slow time recovering and it was taking him a long time from waking in the morning till he could start to train and he was only training five days a week not six days a week so he's taken two days off on the weekends um I introduced hydrogen water to him so you're thinking this is whole body inflammation this is the whole body inflammation if you think about where we get inflammation you know the majority of this is going to focus in the in the areas of the least com the most compromised blood flow so ligaments tendons um bones cartilagenous surfaces joints areas where um you know the muscular tenderness insertion that area where you don't have a lot of blood flow you you don't get a lot of soreness in your um muscles if you're used to training but you get a lot of joint sorness you get a lot of tendon ligament sorness and you get a lot of chronic inflammation in those areas well if you can get hydrogen gas which you can to go transdermal and reduce that inflammatory process and improve circulation which there I'll also give you the links to some of the um uh you know grade 1 grade two spring strain injuries that they treat with hydrogen water versus the rice protocol the rest um ice grass and Elevate and um how hands down transdermal hydrogen uh was more effective than ice and compression and elevation but long story short John text me a few weeks later he's like man I can't believe that I'm waking up not in pain I'm adding a sixth day to my training schedule of course he went in dominated his fight which I take no credit for um and he's announced that he's going to continue fighting um and and and and I you I gave one to Michael Chandler uh for his last fight you know I've given these hydrogen basss to a ton of people my parents get in it every single day both my my mother had bilateral NE so this is the equivalent of the Cure sort of bathing in the uh I mean it sounds like it's I'm so high on hydrogen okay so nobody's talking about all right so uh someone who has a high inflammatory load and you can measure that the technology is there and absolutely um how often are they and how long are they bathing in this 25 minutes once a day so my wife uh sage has uh an L5 S1 Fusion you know shortly before we met a little over 10 years ago she was in a really bad car accident um ended up dislodging her L5 S1 disc uh it degenerated and she had to have a fusion so they went in through an anterior approach took the disc out put a spacer in Cav bone ever since then she's had you know low back pain radiculopathy you know all all of the usual um byproducts of L5 S1 Fusion if she gets in the hydrogen bath for 25 minutes before she goes to bed she sleeps entirely through the night painfree um if she doesn't you know often she's waking up you know in the middle of the night and having to go stretch or walk around or move it and then get back into bed so uh I think these modalities where you can replace things like Methotrexate and meth prednizone and prazone and anti-inflammatories and corticosteroids up is poison it's so it's so poison I mean initially it has any inflammatory response but it will eat the joint like a termite yeah yeah no it's uh it will solve your problem the near term and cause you many more in the long I mean I think cortisone injections probably ended more careers in professional sports earlier than they should have than maybe any other interventive therapy um I want to I want to jump into something that is um you're passionate about and is fundamental which is methylation um just if you would take us from there you know I I think methylation is so what is methylation so methylation also called one carbon metabolism is essentially the best way I can describe it is it's the process that the human body goes through to take um all of the nutrients that enter our body first we have to understand that there's not a single compound known to mankind no vitamin mineral amino acid fluid protein carbohydrate you know fat nothing that we put into the human body that is used in the format that we put it in most of us know that we actually don't eat to fuel our cells we eat to feed our bacteria and our bacteria eat to feed us right so there's an intermediary between our food and our and just just to just to comment on that right because it's so important uh the bacteria in your microbiome um determine how foods are digested how medicines are digested you know if you've got the wrong uh you know how much exactly it really is everything you are a collection of 40 trillion human cells and like 100 trillion bacterial cells right so companies like viome and others help you understand how these bacteria are metabolizing what you eat in the drugs and what it what works for you I mean a huge fan of biome and ultimately they are having a positive impact on methylation um that's one of the mechanisms that uh the outcomes of that test impact and so if you you for example we take in uh folate or folic acid um and this goes through a series of enzymatic reductions and it eventually becomes something called methylfolate or five methylfolate which is the active form so think I'm going to steal one of your hydrogen tablets while we're here because my battery is dead on this oh it is yeah um and by the way just for folks you know a methyl group is a carbon with uh with four with three hydrogen right and uh just to connect it back to our Space Cadets when when people are talking about when Starship is going to land on Mars it's being fueled by liquid oxygen and methane which is a carbon and for hydrogen so uh you know what's incredible is in in in microbiology uh or in chemistry the difference between uh the molecular impact of a compound by by simply attaching or detaching a methyl group is night and day it's everything so neurotransmitters are activated and deactivated you know we downregulate neurotransmitters um for example catacol amines you know fight ORF flight neurotransmitters there are genetic mutations that don't allow people to um metabolize to break down these neurotransmitters and let me just back up I want to touch on that because it's an important subject but this process of methylation or one carbon metabolism is the process that are body goes to take something from the non-usable form and convert it into the usable form so for example if you ingest folic acid folic acid is useless um it it does not prevent neural tube defects it doesn't have any other positive effects in the body infect folic acid is a man-made compound um you can't find it anywhere on the surface of the Earth it does not exist naturally in nature folate does but folic acid doesn't but regardless folic acid and folate follow the same enzymatic pathway until they reach one of the primary genes of methylation called the MTHFR mutation the infamous gen can we say we we can we can and understanding your genome and understanding what your mhf 44% of your listeners have that gation yeah it's a problem it is it is a huge problem and and and the consequences meaning you're not properly methylating in your body you're not properly methylating so this is one of the main genes of methylation so our methylation genes will say um okay we pull crude oil out of the ground MH right but you can't put crude oil into your gas tank and the reason why you can't is because the car doesn't understand fuel source if you can refine crude oil into gasoline now the car can accept that as a fuel source the human body is no different our cellular biology does not use folic acid doesn't use folate it uses the form of folic acid and folate that it is methylated into through the process of methylation which is why I uh you know if you look at um this gene mutation the MTHFR gene mutation which is probably the most common gene mutation in the world I mean it's estimated between 44 and 62% of the population has this it doesn't sound like a big deal to not be able to convert folic acid into methylfolate Until you realize that folic acid is the most prevalent nutrient in human diet right in the United States all of our grains all all white flour bread pasta cereals grains of any kind are sprayed with folic acid we call it fortified or enriched yes so fortified or enriched foods are sprayed with chemical folic acid so what happens if you put fortified or enriched foods into the body of somebody who can't process it well now they go nuts so if you look at history of postpartum depression which for the record can begin during pregnancy um most of the women that get postpartum depression have the MTHFR gene mutation they're told by their doctor to take high doses of folic acid 1500 1800% of the daily allowance of overcome the fact that they're not methylating and yes and this makes it worse and all of a sudden um because I haven't seen any um um rcts randomized clinical trials um linking elevated levels of pregnancy hormones to postpartum depression but we will still blame pregnancy on postpartum depression and and we should be blaming it on the high ingestion of folic acid now if we gave those women methylfolate if they took a methylated prenatal vitamin their incidence of postpartum depression would collapse yeah um it's not the it's not the rise in estrogen you know going from in the 400s during their normal menstrual cycle to going into the 4000s like you see when they get pregnant um that's perfectly normal um for estrogen to go up by 10 times bind water in the interstial space well the uterine wall um you know increase the the the the laxity of the of the pelvic girdle all those things that need to happen during pregnancy but then you take 1500 to 1800% of the daily allowance of folic acid because your OBG OBGYN tells you to do that and the next thing you know you're you're you're going nuts anxiety anxiousness depression um racing thoughts I mean there's so many people listening to this podcast right now that have that g mutation or they have a genetic mutation called comp CT which is another bad one for women women that have had hormone testing done um if if they've ever had what I think is the gold standard of women's hormone testing which is called a Dutch test um it's it's a multi-hour urine test y on that test you will see this genetic mutation compt cacal o methyl transferase and the reason why this this particular Gene of methylation is important is because it determines the number of things it determines how rapidly or how slowly you break down catacol amines and why that's important is that a rise in catacol amines is anxiety yes there are so many people that are suffering from anxiety and and you hold on to it and well the point is that no one's told them what it is if if you ask 15 practitioners what is anxiety they will describe the characteristics of that condition it's a fear of the future it's a sense of impending doom it's a sense of fear without the presence of a fear well that's all of the things I'm feeling what's causing it and the majority of people that have anxiety cannot tell you it's not like every time I step on a crowded elevator um and I'm claustrophobic I have a panic attack or every time I walk to the edge of a 30th floor balcony um and I'm afraid of heights I have a panic attack these are people whose anxiety comes and goes seemingly without a trigger I promise you you should be investigating that Gene C Mt because you may be a slow um to break down to downregulate these catac colomines these fighter flight neurotransmitters and as they rise they do three things number one they create a waken state and so someone could be sitting having a podcast just like you and I are right now in a in a very safe room with our friends right outside the door and just all of a sudden be kind of overwhelmed with anxiety yeah um and now what they're going to try to do is relate it to their outside environment you maybe I'm afraid they're going try Rize ask you can rationalize it yeah and and they're going to try to rationalize it by looking at a cluster of symptoms outside of their body the truth is if they understood that it's a rise in catacol meines they could start to take methylated vitamins the complex of B vitamins methylcobalamin methylfolate sometimes CME aenos methionine over the counter vitamins and and and nutrients that would then allow them to begin to methylate these neurotransmitters and downregulate them and and and calm that down I mean what I get so excited about is um this knowledge this is you know this is William Gibson who said you know the future is here it's just not evenly distributed and I I think I I think that you know all of this knowledge and and and cheers to hyrogen water take a sip here's a higher part for million than mine now go ahead um but I think what's fascinating is going to be we're on the brink of a moment in time when all of this knowledge is uh knowable by anybody uh not because they happen to have listened to this podcast or they've happened to listen to you know the ultimate human work and media platform that you built or your books or my books it's because they've turned on uh their AI Health uh system I agree and that that system I mean when you're born you had 3.2 billion letters that guide your life for the it's your software for the rest of your life unless you do a crisper therapy um or gene therapy it's there and so um that plus the you know I don't know hundreds of subdermal and wearables that are being developed will be able to know at any One Moment In Time what is your physiological State and um how to optimize it and so you know I've been having this argument recently my sip of Hy water here by the way I happen to agree with you I think the greatest Intersection For Humanity is the intersection of artificial intelligence big data and early detection um and you know specifically with respect to methylation I mean the these are 300 billion um independent um metabolic transactions going on in at any given moment and and and AI can make sense out of it all and and we you know meet Sachs on our own cannot you know I've been having this debate um with a number of shall we say more old school physician and scientists that are in the media right now saying no you will not make it to 120 no we're not going to bend the health curve and um they're absolutely positive and and the equivalency for me is the individuals back in the 1890s saying no humans will never fly no never go to the Stars well it was the right brothers that said mankind will never fly from New York to Paris it's amazing it was the brother I I recently did a podcast with Neil degrass Tyson and we were talking about 30-year increments of human technological progress and we were talking about the Kittyhawk flight and then Wilbur Wright goes no you're not making it you'll never make it to Paris and the other thing that that Neil said was oh by the way the uh you know the first real commercial aircraft uh was the seven boing 7even 7 uh with conversion it was the conversion I think the KC 135 and uh the length of the oh that's right the wingspan the wingspan the 707 was greater than the length of the first Kittyhawk flight exactly which is which is which is crazy and and we are living in a world where yes the history our history does not necessarily project what our future is going to be and uh you know my my basic premise Gary is we are running you know billions of chemical reactions per second in 40 trillion cells in your human body and we've never been able to understand that but AI will enable us and there is fundamentally a reason of why aging takes place it's not this random thing why why some people live to 120 and others are dead at 50 there's a reason and we're going to be able to understand that and begin to impact that right and I and I think what AI is going to do is is because we all know it's multifactorial it's not just me methylation it's your detoxification Pathways and your transulfuration Pathways and how many you know microt toxins you're ingesting every single day which we're doing a great job of here in the United States we actually just dropped to what 66th in the world in life expectancy on December 6th um 66th in the world we're below some subsaharan uh South African nation that don't have clean water and sanitation and and guess what we're number one in healthcare costs yeah yeah we're Healthcare spending yeah spending yes yeah healthare spending and and and we only really lead the world in seven things and it's morbid obesity type 2 diabetes multiple chronic disease and a single biome uh American infant mortality maternal mortality and uh and uh what is it type uh yeah type two diabetes if I didn't mention that one but there you know it's it's astounding how much we spend in the outcomes that we're getting but I do agree with you that you know aging is multifactorial methylation is absolutely a process a part of it you know whenever I speak to crowds of of people are on stages I I'll put up this horrifically confusing chart of methylation right it's like you know it literally looks like somebody took you know colored spaghetti and threw it against the wall and it and it shows all of these intricate cellular processes and and the only reason why I show that chart is I tell people to look at it for a minute and I say look at this chart and this is what's going on inside of your cellular biology 300 billion times every day um every time we turn we turn over roughly 300 billion cells a day and this is happening 300 billion times a day now look at this chart and try to find a chemical try to find a synthetic try to find a pharmaceutical you won't find any of those things what you find on that chart are vitamins minerals amino acids nutrients um and Lego blocks yes and so when you start to deplete certain vitamins minerals and amino acids when you start to pluck them out of that chart you can see that the system goes haywire and so many people are suffering from what they think are the consequences of Aging brain fog weight gain water retention poor response to exercise poor sleep poor deep sleep um you know all kinds of hormonal imbalance and they think that these are just consequences of Aging they're not they're consequences of missing raw material it is astounding what happens to human beings when you just give their body the raw material it needs to do its job you know in plant physiology we believe this right if if if anyone had a leaf rotting in a palm tree or uh a tree in their yard and a true bnst a true arborist came to their house they wouldn't even touch the leaf they would cortest the soil and they would say you know what Peter there's no nitrogen in the soil and then they would add that nutrient to the soil and the leaf would heal human beings are no different when we deprive the body of certain raw materials you know people get diagnosed with mental illnesses because or mood disorders because they're low on serotonin but serotonin is methylated from tryptophan which is a simple amino acid and in order to methylate tryptophan the amino acid into serotonin which happens in the gut about 90% of our serotonin in our bodies is in our gut and if you don't have it here you can't have it here um travels up the vas nerve but what what happens in the gut is um deficiencies in amino acids and it deficiencies in the complex of B vitamins that cause this methylation process to occur to convert tryptophan into serotonin or to convert phenol alanine and tyrosine into dopamine and once you have the deficiencies in these neurotransmitters now you can't Assemble moods and emotional states that require these neurotransmitters so you get told that you have a mood disorder um or you have a mental illness and now you're down the bandwagon of um chemicals or synthetics to reduce certain uh synaptic uptakes of neurotransmitters when really you have deficiencies that are born out of a lack of nutrients that's why I'm so fascinated by methylation yeah and of course methylation of our DNA is also how we control what genes are on and what genes are off yeah it's also how we know that jeans are not necessarily our destiny they might be our predisposition I love this slot uh you know let's let's turn to some of the fun toys in your bedroom and your your incredible Penthouse apartment so this is a a a red light bed and there are a multitude of them and like you said this typically will run you 100K or so talk about this um so I'm a huge huge fan of red light therapy um let me also tell your listeners you don't need to run out and spend 100 Grand on a red light bed um you know you can Google around and there are red light panels there are red light panels uh uh there are smaller red light beds uh there there are other ways to get red light you can usually Find a clinic in your area that will allow you to use these things on a membership basis or um at at the very least you can expose your skin to sunlight um because we are very photovoltaic beings you and I were just were sitting here in Southern California and we were both outside like just you know soaking in the sun we just did it just now exactly um and so I always so what do you think what do you normally when someone says hey why how often you hanging out in a red light bed uh how long and what does it do for you 10 minutes a day every day um seven days a week if I if I can uh you know I have it in uh in a separate room in the house and I have this sort of pattern that I go through I wake up in the morning brush my teeth splash water my face what time do you wake up um between 600 and 6:30 latest usually trying to be up with you know first light uh so really intentional about trying to trying to get first light in fact we're out in La now and we rented an Airbnb and I actually found a ladder behind the Airbnb so I put it up over the on there are three roofs on this house and I put it up on the low roof and I climbed up on that then got on the second one then got on the third one and I did my breath work up there on the on on the rooftop in the morning cuz it's nice and cool here it's like in the high 40s so I just took my shirt off and and uh did some breath work up there but um but exposing your skin to to to sunlight is is I don't want to say the poor man's red light but it is the best way to get light therapy but but red light does a number of things um there there are a number of therapeutic wavelengths first of all uh light can be very damaging or can be very therapeutic in the body if you look at the light spectrum you know starting with something like x-ray which is light these are very damaging um moving to UVA UVB which are the damaging Rays from the Sun that that that cause uh skin cancer and then there's a very narrow spectrum of light very very narrow spectrum of light which is the visible light spectrum the Reds the orange yellow green what is it blue indigo and violet yes and Roy G Biv yeah Roy G Biv I remember that still from from from biology that's what I was playing in my head yes Roy G Biv um and then after that you get into infrared and near infrared and and what happens in these wavelengths from red to infrared and and this near infrared is that when these wavelengths of Light Pass through the body one of the most powerful things that red light does is it goes into your mitochondria and it kicks out of gas called mitochondrial nitric oxide and so it kicks out nitric oxide and it forces oxygen to dock so there is a part of the kreb cycle inside of the mitochondria uh uh where oxygen docks called cytochrome SE oxidase and you want to think of cytochrom C oxidase as a one-arm man he can either shake hands with nitric oxide or he can shake hands with oxygen but he can't do both if you can get cytochrome SE oxidase to bind oxygen you can upstage the mitochondria you can improve its production of Denine triphosphate at the ATP um you know we know that aerobic respiration yields 36 ATP we know that Anor robic respiration yields two ATP so an ATP is what really Powers human beings taking me back to seventh grade and to Medical it's all it's all about the mitochondria so not to get over complicated but what red light will do is it will kick out this gas and force oxygen to dock so that is already a battery charger for your cellular biology literally charges you up like a battery um we also know that certain ra wavelengths of red light are um these are mostly the visible um spectrum of lights because they're very superficial are excellent for collagen for elastin for fibrin um it also back to the vasom motor uh circulation and vasomotion it has a positive impact on both vasomotor and vasomotion and there are numerous clinical studies in in the public literature on PubMed and I'll I'll have my team link them here um on uh the Improvement of eyesight because it improves microvascular circulation to to to the back of the eye there are several cataract studies involving um when you're in a red bed in a red light bed uh do you need to Shield your eyes or are you okay I leave my eyes open you get these red light beds will have all four and sometimes five wavelengths um I I use one called um lumipod Pro um it's got 45,000 light diodes um it has five wavelengths of light uh a typical sessions 10 minutes you could do it for 20 minutes um and you're not only improving collagen elastin fibin in your skin you're improving microvascular circulation you're reducing inflammation you're charging up your mitochondria I mean I I think that and and the hydrogen nanab bath would be my my two go-to when I'm uh so I use a red light panel um because I'm also got a red light cap on my head for stimulating you circul circulation and hair growth I'm I'm using a red light oral device as well I've seen those like it looks like a tongue device it it it basically is that by neuronic uh no uh neuronic makes these helmets that actually go trans cranial no this is uh this is both red light and blue light this is impacting uh the pathogens in my mouth right I've gotten so focused on oral health yeah right because people should know your mouth and the the bacteria and and other pathogens in your mouth are a a a capillary away from your brain yes and not too many capillaries away from your heart and what's interesting is some of the some of the bacteria that create calcification H hydroxy appetite we find in um in cavitations in the mouth but we all also find them in uh calcium in the heart and I think Mo most people think that these these hard plaques uh like our bones are calcium and they're actually not they're they're calcium combined with with phosphorus which is forming something called hydroxy appetite very similar to what's what's in our teeth and um and in order for that to form you need something like an Osteo blastic that creates bone or you need a bacteria that can that can combine calcium and phosphorus to form this hydroxy appetite which you find in citations in your in your mouth I'm a huge fan of of getting you know seeing a quality biologic dentist if you've had a root Canal for sure and getting that cleaned out testing your testing your uh oral microbiome to understand do you have any of the pathogens there that are really I'm actually waiting for a tooth right now and not to be gross but yeah exactly see that gu yeah wait waiting for it in what respect reg it no so I had a root canal here um and I I went to a biologic dentist named Dr uh jagar Gandhi phenomenal biologic dentist as far as I'm concerned he's probably the best in the country I cracked a tooth one day in the back of my mouth on the other side and um I called him and I was I I hate the dentist yeah who mean who loves Dennis I me honestly sorry Dr Gandhi uh but um and I and I called him and I said you know dude I've got to come up and see you man I cracked this tooth in my mouth and um he goes take a picture of it and so I snap a picture of it and um he goes oh that's your 19th tooth Meridian he goes do you ever get uh left anterior shoulder pain no and I swear to God I did a whole podcast with him I was so I was so fascinated by it because I'm pretty like woke like what's going on the wellness I watch the everything goes in my mouth I'm in red light I'm drinking Hydro I'm doing all this stuff and and I go you know that's that's weird I actually do get left anterior shoulder pain I thought it was like a bicep tendinitis or something it wasn't like enough for me to go to the Urgent Care or something and then he said do you ever get left lower lob lung pain I he was that specific I go dude you are freaking me out whenever I do hitz cardio I have a catch right here in my rib I just thought it was like a runner's or something and um um and then he super freaked me out because he said does your left toe ever go numb no come on I I right hand to God he and it didn't go numb but it would it would tingle and itch and my wife used to tease me because I would take my shoe off and I would itch my big toe and then I would put my shoe back on or I'd be talking to somebody and I would just tap it yes and because it would feel like it was going numb and he goes yeah that's your 19th tooth Meridian and he sent me this chart and it mapped to the Meridian he's like yeah you you you had a root canal in that tooth and I was like I did actually um and he said come up we'll do this cone beam x-ray we'll we'll check for cavitation so I went up and they did this 360 x-ray he actually found several of them um but two of those were in root in root canals yeah um and I I posted this on my Instagram because I was so fascinated by what he was able to predict by this Meridian and then um when he took my tooth out there was this little balloon on the bottom of the tooth this is getting gross so if you're if you're squeamish caution for the viewers caution for the viewers he took a I go what is that he goes oh that's a cavitation that's a pus filled sack with bacterian parasites I said no way I have no pain I have no symptoms I have no inflammation I have no gum bleeding nothing so he pops it puts it on a slide and we dark field it in his office and I I I I posted this video you could see my macres going after the parasites going after the bacteria I mean I I was horrified by it and so he cleaned it all out ran red light in there put uh platelet rich fiber yeah let's just stop right here and tell people uh your the health of your mouth is so critically important right so you're 50 what now 54 54 I'm 63 and uh I wish I had started paying attention even earlier in my life yeah uh it is people ignore it they go to the dentist because they have to when they have a you know that's fine but there is so much more that you could be doing in terms of of of you know using an electric toothbrush uh I have actually have a device flossing I actually uh have a device I'm it's called Proclaim I don't know if you know this you go in your mouth gets scanned and it's a mouthpiece that has a jet in between every single tooth and so it is like high energy high-speed water pick flossing in 30 seconds you put this in your mouth I love it you put this I know you put this in your mouth you know you bite down like you would a mouth guard and like this whole container of water just gets pumped in through all of those and your mouth is is clean so I mean it's it's amazing right and then uh there's another uh uh product that they changed their name recently which is a toothbrush with a very similar structure but it's with all of these brushes that you basically CL chump down on it and it brush is everything so I mean I remember I knew Jeff Bezos 45 years ago and uh when he was purely a space cadet before Amazon and then he and I reconnected and I was talking to him about X prise and space and and all and one day I said hey is there any chance and come and speak at this event this like 20 years ago and he goes Peter um I'm so short on time I'm trying to optimize my my toothbrush time my toothbrushing time and I said okay I I get that but this is what you're actually doing you're able to like you know take those yeah 15 minutes 10 minutes and make them much more efficient the technology is there technology but more importantly going to a biological dentist to check out the floor and front on your mouth highly recommend it so so then this tooth which I'm waiting on he he also pulled this one cleaned it out red light um Ozone gas yes gas exactly which is wild when they take the tooth out it doesn't even bleed huh and that's a bad sign and so he runs the Ozone gas and the red light and and increases the perimeter of of of the hole until you get fresh red blood then he packs your own platelet rich fibrin in there you know your own your own platelets and he puts the um stitches it shut the bone grows shut and then he puts the uh believe it's a porcelain implant I mean he doesn't use any metal and now I just got to go back up and have the tooth put on there um but I I I think it's one of the best things I ever did and I just can't believe that that just flew by me but he also uses red light not they full red light bed but he uses those uh red light about 13 years ago I had my two kids my two boys and I remember at that moment in time I made a decision to double down on my health uh without question I wanted to see their kids their grandkids and really you know during this extraordinary time where the space Frontier and Ai and crypto is all exploding it was like the most exciting time ever to be alive and I made a decis ision to double down on my health and I've done that in three key areas the first is going every year for a fountain upload you know Fountain is one of the most advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics companies I go there upload myself digitize myself about 200 gigabytes of data that the AI system is able to look at to catch disease at Inception you know look for any cardiovascular any cancer any neurod degenerative disease any metabolic disease these things are all going on all the time and you can prevent them if you can find them at Inception so super important so Fountain is one of my keys I make that available to the CEOs of all my companies my family members because you know health is a new wealth uh but beyond that uh we are a collection of 40 trillion human cells and about another 100 trillion bacterial cells fungi V and we you know don't understand how that impacts us and so I use a company and a product called viome and viome uh has a technology called metatranscriptomics it was actually developed uh in New Mexico the same place where the nuclear bomb was developed as a biod defense weapon and their technology is able to help you understand what's going on in your body to understand which bacteria are producing which proteins and as a consequence of that what foods are your superfoods are best for you to eat or what food should you avoid right what's going on in your oral microbiome so I use their testing to understand my Foods understand my medicines understand my supplements and viome really helps me understand from a biological and data standpoint what's best for me and then finally you know feeling good being intelligent moving well is critical but looking good when you look yourself in the mirror saying you know I feel great about life is so important right and so a product I use every day twice a day is called one skin developed by four incredible PhD women that found this 10 amino acid peptide that's able to zap scile cells in your skin and really help you stay youthful in your look and appearance so for me these are three Technologies I love and I use all the time uh I'll have my team link to those in the show notes down below please check them out anyway hope you enjoyed that now back to the episode let's jump into saunas um you know I just bought a uh a portable infrared sauna which is you know the size of a chair that I can hop into you kind of zip it up you you zip it up but I mean this is a full-on sauna talk to me about your sauna practices so sauna is one of the best ways to activate your detoxification Pathways um you know if if you talk to any functional medicine practitioner where they're trying to detox somebody from anything mold mot toxins pathogens um you know bacteria Metals um they will tell you that sauna and sweating both infrared and near infrared I sorry both infrared and dry sauna is has to be a part of your your regular routine um so I'll usually um put a liter of fluid through myself after I get out of the sauna I have a dry sauna um I I actually have my parents um who've been staying with me for several weeks yeah you did that's right they were there when you there they're still staying with me so Captain John Brea and Judy Brea um Mom has bilateral knee Replacements um and dad had a very bad boating accident years ago which left him with Hemi Paralysis on one side of his body so both of them are rather deconditioned from a physical standpoint and um so I was following Dr AO warberg work in multi-step oxygen therapy or ewat exercise with oxygen therapy and since it's difficult for them to get their heart rate up I'll put both of them in the sauna and I'll run a nasal culus under the door and and they'll just breathe High PPM oxygen um for about 20 minutes and the difference in their cognitive function even even immediately after getting out of the sauna they would both tell you is is is night and day my mom's a chatter box and so is my dad you just feel clear and clean cognizant awake um so my wife and I do sauna regularly and and now how long how many days a week um 20 minutes minimum three times a week um it's just something we really like to do it's right next to our bathroom uh and so she and I will very often end the day in there together and um and then I'll get out of the SAA and I'll do just a 20 or 30 second coal plunge um not a long Cal plunge uh but a 20 or 30 second Co plunge and I'll dry off and you know that's proved to be quite a little sleep hack for me um I mean people could do it with a contrast shower too oh hot shower followed by cold shower um especially if you're one of those people that ruminates um if if if if your environment quiets and your mind wakes up and you have ruminating thoughts or you just replay the day or you go through your grocery list and all of that but sauna is excellent for detoxification and steam room um so steam room is is if you had to choose between sauna and steamr if I had to choose between sauna and steamr I would probably choose sauna and here's why um I think most commercial steam rooms are not filtering the municipal water when they bring it into the steam room so you're vaporizing gas fluoride gas microplastics Pharmaceuticals um polyfloral alals these pfas uh which are very very high in the M Water Supply in Miami so unless you are certain that they are running that through preferably like a forge stage reverse osmosis filter or some other type of of Micron filtration uh which I do at the house I don't trust a lot of steam rooms um so my preference is not to breathe vaporized fluoride and chlorine but um but it can be um even more effective at heating the body up than sauna remember water is 29 times more thermogenic than air yes and what you mean by that is its ability to take away or provide heat yeah that's right like you can die in 72 Degree water heat Capac you can't you can't get hypothermia in 72 Degree air right your body can maintain the temperature gradient so I have both Steam and and and sauna but I I I actually use a reverse osmosis and charcoal filter when it comes to the house saw the closet yeah and then then I have another step down filter I like I'm such a psycho um but and then that's a cold plunge that's one of my favorites you know um here's the thing about cold plunging I you know there's no evidence that I've seen that colder is better or longer is better 3 minutes minimum 6 minutes maximum 50 degrees Fahrenheit is plenty um you know you get a peripheral vasil constriction uh which you know drives all the blood into the core liver lungs pancreas kidneys up to the brain you also get a really interesting activation of of brown fat uh which is different than than white fat it exchanges a it's our thermostat you know essentially exchanges a calorie um for a measure of heat so you mean to tell me that when I get cold my body's going to use calories and turn it into heat yes there is a cost to having your body temperature return to normal let's not forget if you're in 50 degree water um you and you get out and you're in 70 degree air your body's still going back to 98.6 so how how does your body continue to raise your your temperature there's a cost to that it's not free and the cost is calories increased caloric expenditure and and um so Brown fat turns calories into heat but and by the way one of the things that I think is important um is the small hacks of increasing your your caloric expenditure right so I going to point out those of who are joining us on on YouTube here uh Gary's wearing this beautiful little vest that looks like it's just a normal vest but it's a it's a 10 lb 10 lb or 10 kgam it's 10 10 lb 10B uh vest 10 kogs I'd probably notice but 10B vest and I tried it on and it really felt you know slightly heavier it was like feels kind of snug if you ever use a weight to blank it feels good and you said that you know your estimate on your particular muscle mass and calor expenditure that you're thinking wearing this during the day uh close to 600 calories if I wear it for the 10 12 hours which like I said it's a Big Mac it's significant yeah I don't say wear a weight to vest and get a Big Mac um but you know I I uh I'm a big fan of rocking too um and you know I've got the I think it's Rogue where you put the plates in the front and the plates in the back but it kind of hangs over your shoulders that's a actually a a large commitment this was super easy super bulky um these guys at Aon uh a AO N I think they pronounce it ion um they make these weighted vest that that actually zip snug to your body you can use during workouts um or they make more decorative ones you can just wear if you're just walking through the airport and and it looks trying I'm traveling I'm just trying to bio stack things I'm like well I'm going to be walking anyway I might as well add weight yeah you know and by the way one of those the mental hacks here and I keep on reminding people of this is it's like take the stairs instead of the escalator you know if you need to park if you're having a difficulty finding a parking spot Park two blocks or three blocks away and think of it as free exercise you're not paying a trainer to give you yeah there those little yeah my wife and I play that game at the airport you know we always try to find the stairs and not the escalator what what's amazing is they have those moving walkways and they're actually called moving walkways but Mo people turn them into moving stand ways yeah and they just get on them and they just sort of ride you know and they get off and walk four feet to the other one lazy bastards all I actually love a good walk in the air for before I get on the plane cu no absolutely and so I will not go on the moving walkways I I will I will actually try and keep up with everybody by walking faster on on the side so Cole PL you said something interesting a second ago which is um it doesn't have to be that cold it doesn't have to be that long so if cold is not better longer is not better I mean so if you're if you're in the shower in my typical practice because I don't have a cold plunge uh I thought you saw one out there yeah well I do but this is I'm I'm not always here at at the studio but there is there's a there's a sa a cold plunge um right there but I will you know take my hot shower and then for the last 60 seconds take it to as cold as possible absolutely that's the other thing I mean again you know all these modalities are great but but people can take um Tupperware containers freeze large blocks of ice in in their in their freezer throw them in their bathtub um it's good for about three days if you got up a couple of these Big Blocks they your water will stay cold for three days you know and it's a great way to make a cold plunge because you know even if you're just buying ice from 7-Eleven eventually that's that that adds up uh so you can you can freeze these that's a great hack yeah you freeze these and you drop them in you know just like say you you can access a lot of these modalities you know sunlight grounding breath work um uh you know cold plunge for little or next to nothing but the other thing that you know I was about to mention was the um release of something called cold shock proteins which are specialized proteins released from your liver there's a lot of research now looking at Cold shock proteins and a lot of these benefits and uh there's a few in particular Linn 28a and uh Lin capital l i n 28b um which are implicated in uh the Improvement of insulin resistance um so making you more sensitive to insulin um they scour the body of free radical oxidation uh there's some evidence that they improve protein synthesis you know the rate of muscle repair and so just think in three minutes you get a dopamine spike a pral vaser constriction uh you know a an activation of brown fat and a releas of cold chock proteins 3 minutes and get out I mean and that's why you feel I I call it my of choice cuz you you you feel so good for so long um and and you don't have to get into 35° water and you don't have to go for 12 minutes I see people on online you know going underwater with snorkel in 37 degree weather that's a macho move I'm like man that's just not a good idea your brain's only this far inside the surface of your skull all right so I want to talk about hyperbaric oxygen um because I've seen and heard miraculous results and and mixed results and I'll tell you where that's coming from and and so uh there's there's a therapeutic level and a hobbyist level right so let's talk about so this is a hobbiest version um I actually have one of these soft shell Chambers um 1.3 atmospheres it goes to about 1.3 1.4 the hobbyist will go about 1.3 atmospheres which is good um but as I've gone deep down the rabbit hole of Hyperbaric and I'm sold on Hyperbaric I'm actually building my podcast Studio inside of a hyperbaric right now love that so February middle of February I'll have uh the the first ever podcast Studio inside of a hyper barracks if you're on the ultimate human we're going to be doing in in a hyperbaric um but if you look at the majority of the research on on on hyperbaric oxygen therapy it's done at two atmospheres or greater yes what I found uh sadly is that um most of the sof shell Chambers will borrow that research um you know as um outcomes for sof shell Chambers now I have a soft shell chamber I'm not on those guys um but you know it it mimics deep sleep it can actually be uh not a replacement for but an adjunct to you know poor sleep my my wife all the time she does not get a good night's sleep she'll wake up and she'll go spend an hour in the Hyperbaric breathe 92 to 95% O2 through an asoc canus and then you are switched on um if you've ever done Hyperbaric therapy even at 1.3 atmospheres you feel amazing after you get out of there and you you've you've been breathing that oxygen but the compressed gas at at at two atmospheres um and I've just started to go way down the rabbit hole in Hyperbaric uh oxygen therapy I have one of the top experts in the world coming to the house to help me design some protocols because my my concern is that I become adaptive right um and you know we can adapt to altitude we could also adapt to hyp hyperoxemia sure and um I also use hydrogen uh tablets to offset the oxidative uh you know free radicals from um Hy which is one of the question I was going to ask because you're driving oxygen which is an oxidative Force into your body it is yeah it is an oxidative stressor and so but a hydrogen gas offsets that so I do another one of those hydrogen bombs you know four or five of those H2 tabs uh I'll drop those in water I'll put down 750 milliliters of water and then I get in the Hyperbaric and man I'm telling you you feel like you took a limitless pill you're so cognizant so clear so awake so alert um it comes very close to mimicking deep sleep and so if you're sleep deprived you know Hyperbaric it's excellent for wound healing it's excellent for circulation it's excellent for cognitive function I put both of my parents in in a hyperbaric chamber I'm super excited about the podcast Studio this will have you know AI I don't know why you don't sleep in there Michael Jackson used to sleep in well he's he's not doing so well right now he's not doing so good but but interestingly enough was in Israel I met the team that did that's where all the good right and um good good cognitive function work yeah and and a whole slew of of different repairs like if you've ever had a if you had a stroke if you've had any kind of neurodegenerative disease um it really stimulating neuronal growth um in an amazing fashion but my concern is their work is premised on a significant amount of time in those hyperbaric chambers and you know I'm stealing I'm going back to Jeff basil says I'm trying to optimize my toothbrushing time right now well that's why I built the studio in the hyper barar cuz I was like I not everybody can do that I I don't know that I have an hour and if I had an extra hour I don't know that I would spend it like this I I wouldn't either yeah yeah I wouldn't say uh you know Hyperbaric would would would make my God forbid I should you know have had a stroke or something then I'm all in it's like getting 100 getting uh your or if you know post-surgical recovery this is also one of my favorit H cat what's a hcat stand for so that's a u uh hypothermic oxygen carbonic acid transdermal therapy so it's a mouthful but basically a hulat is transdermal ozone okay um so ozone can be infused into the bloodstream transdermally um you know I'm a huge fan of ozone mold mot toxins uh Metals um uh glyphosate um I remember during co uh one of the phys one of the many phys I went to I had uh IV I my you take my blood out circulate it with with ozone and then put it back in yeah yeah so so there's multiple ways you could do ozone you know you could just take an ozonation ozonator and and put it the air into a syringe and um you can hang an IV bag below the level of the heart allow the blood to drain into a sterile IV bag um and then add the Ozone gas to the IV or to to the blood you'll see the blood go from like a Cabernet wine to a bright red um as as as red blood cells take up that oxygen um and then you can Infuse that back in now ozone's 03 so so there's an oxygen it's an O2 oxy is the ultimate oxidor it is the ultimate oxidat and that third oxygen molecule is one of the most reactive species it's like it's a a missile to free radicals in oxidation um so you know we happen to live in the mold capital of the world you know in Miami and uh and so uh I don't think I've seen anything as effective for mold toxicity as ozone and then you can do uh what's called 10 pass ozone uh which is which is where it's pulled into a a glass vial and and agitated with ozone and put back in and pulled out and put back in there's a a very advanced form of ozone called eo2 I haven heard about that so eo2 is this extra blood Corporal ozone but it sound it sounds actually what I like what I did uh during during covid it was if it had a filter that's what it was so so essentially the blood comes out it comes out of one arm it goes back in the other arm it comes out um it goes through a uh filter um and this is a filter that's designed to remove uh uh bpas these bisphenols um will REM mold spores MotoX it will Al Al remove Metals it'll remove microplastics and uh and glyphosate and as it passes through the filter it's also ozonated and the Ozone gas is added to that and then it's circulated around and comes back in sometimes they also pass pass it through a light filter but um so eo2 is probably in my opinion the most advanced um if you have a mold MotoX Metals something like that um and you can't get down to to toana to do like an extera blood filter um and then you know eo2 is a great choice that machine the previous one you were showing will will will actually so what that does those doors close they close around your neck and it will steam you up like a like a steam room and then it will release Ozone gas into the chamber first it releases CO2 gas uh CO2 is carbon dioxide is the main vasodilator in the human body people think it's nitric oxide it's not nitric oxide is actually a CTIC gas because it competes for oxygen um I wouldn't take any kind kind of nitric oxide supplement on purpose but the reason why we get um uh vascular during you wouldn't do nitric oxide tablets for increasing uh uh NO2 in your in your Vaso your vascular system no never never on purpose um I mean uh there's a great book called The Ultimate Guide to methylene blue he goes deep down the rabbit hole of nitric oxide uh as an an oxidative free radical and then also so its implication in all kinds of neuropathic disorders including Alzheimer's early onset dementia uh cognitive decline autism um uh all learning disabilities the the you know nitric oxide will compete um with cytochrome C oxidase for oxygen and so anytime we are depriving the O depriving the mitochondria of of oxygen that's it's a bad thing we in fact when when when you do red light you releasee the oxide which will go into the the vascular wall and and cause a we say vasod dilation it's really a Vaso relaxation effect in the arterial wall so you do get some increased circulation but you also get the benefit of the oxygen but this will this has also Rife frequency in it um so you put your feet on rif frequency plates and you can select different modalities so you could select you know thyroid immune system adenoids what have you but it runs carbon dioxide to dilate the blood vessels and dilate your pores and then it will run transdermal ozone and that goes right transdermal right into the bloodstream and I'm telling you that will shift you from a sympathetic to a parasympathetic State like nothing you've ever done in your life you are so relaxed relaxed and Zen getting out of that thing that's great all right we got the balancer Pro here those are just uh very expensive compression gear but they work okay so this is a vascular muscular compression yeah so this is mainly lymphatic compression you know a lot of the compression gear people think that the more pressure the better and that's absolutely not the case with with lymphatic circulation you know there's there's no pressure again behind the lymphatic system it's a static system so it needs muscular contraction in order for it to flow so it needs motion and activity so these balancer Pros they'll start at your feet and they'll they'll actually um and very rhythmically and gently and the pressure will slowly increase they will um push all of the lymphatic fluid up into two paste through a yeah like two paste through a tube yeah um all right pemf um pul electromagnetic field therapy um people swear by it and I swear by it I have one in my um so PMS pulse electromagnetic field so this is one of those modalities where you can use highfrequency pmf which it can actually cause a muscle contraction and and is really good for muscle spasms uh you know muscle soreness uh recovering from joint injuries but as a daily modality um you want to use something called a low gous pmf um Gus which is a current measurement similar to the surface of the Earth has a low gas it's a yeah magnetic field measure yeah magnetic field sorry uh uh measure and is this go under your under your sheets of your bed yeah so you can put it right under the sheets of your bed you pull the sheets over top of it um might have an eight Sleep mattress it'll blast right through that and what it will do is it will just run a low gous current uh through the body through low gas field sorry through the body and what this Lous field does and you can measure this you could dark field your blood um you can uh just like you can measure the outcome of red light bed you can actually do nitric oxide strip testing before you get in and before you and when you get out and you can prove that your red light bed is working you know you get in before you get in the red light bed just put a nitric oxide test strip in your mouth which you can get for like six bucks on Amazon it'll be like a pale pink yeah and then you'll lay in the bed for 15 or 20 minutes wait about 10 or 15 minutes and do it again and you'll see that you're nitric oxide levels I do I have those bedside yeah but but this will what this will do is repolarize the surface of your cells so if you I think they call it Rulo when the when the red blood cells start to stack and stick together when when when cellular surfaces have similar charges they repel um when they opposite charges they attract everywhere that they touch you lose surface area to exchange with the outside environment so now you're imparing this cell's capacity to eliminate waste or repair or detoxify um or regenerate so what what a post electromagnetic field will do is it will restore that surface polarity um and you can see this pre- and post pmf by the way you can see it pre- and poost um uh uh grounding as well people think that grounding and earthing is is like Voodoo science it's not if you can't um if you don't have the budget for a pemf mat take your shoes off and touch the surface of the Earth yeah um what do one of these put sent you back here so this one will run you about five grand um uh but it really works if you look at the coil they go from the top to the bottom from the top so I have a eight sleap mattress and this will this goes underneath the it go right under the eight sleep because the eight sleep the thing I love about the eight sleep there's no EMF in that it's just the coils in the bed um I get markedly better sleep when I use the the eight sleep too um and again like you I'm just trying to condense time like how can I bio stack these I can lay down I can run pulse electromagnetic field which is mimicking this will be on my my buy list after this yeah for sure um and and then the and then the uh eight sleep but these are these are these low gous current mats are are phenomenal for uh uh for restoring cellular polarity fantastic I'll just add a few of these um uh I'm usually I'm usually wearing a continuous glucose monitor and it's not it drove me crazy when I wore CGM so for no other reason than to gamify what I eat that's basically it you got used to seeing what yeah so it's I my game is and so you know I'm not wearing it today I should have but um uh the battery ran out two days ago I've got a stack I moved out of my house because of the you know the fires wow oh yeah no I was on the edge of the Santa Monica and Pacific Palisade so the house is now I've been out of it for 3 weeks uh and we have uh remediation to get all the the smoke there out um anyway long story short so a lot of my stuff is is there but I wear it simply to see how low I can keep my blood glucose from spiking throughout the day I mean that's basically it and it's fun to see that and fun to play that game yeah and you see what happens if you eat high glycemic carbs things like that it's like it's like notth it it's interesting right because I will say okay if I eat that I'm G to spike it and I'm not going to be happy about that so it just creates a hack yeah it's like we'll talk about the a ring in a second which I'm wearing and the only you know AA an AA ring is not going to help you get to sleep uh better but it at the in the at night when I'm going to sleep I know if I so I've pretty much given up most alcohol I'll have like a sip of red wine like that but if I should ever drink a glass of alcohol my aura score will will plummet or if I go to sleep so true if I go to sleep late um it it so CGM for me it's super easy fun gamify what I eat here's the auring I got uh last night in preparation for you I got like uh one of my my high scores at 95 you did nice so one of the things that's um that's what I what I get here in ter uh uh what time did you go to bed I went to bed at 8:45 p.m. and I tell you I tell you that is everything it is everything it's it's it's how everything that we discussed yes matters little compared to sleep it's like when I go to sleep impacts everything fresh to day and you I used to be a n Night Owl where I'd be up till midnight one or two o'clock and you know my wife and my friend's like you know you don't go out and party with us well you know it's yes true but I get up at 5 and I write M and uh so last night I got an hour and a half of REM and uh an hour and 15 of deep sleep you get up and you write or you ride you said I write oh you're right yeah I write it's like my first two hours are mine M um so good but the aing doesn't give you good night sleep it does gamify the fact that if I eat too late if I drink too much water too late have to get up and urinate if I go to sleep too late if I it's like I'm G to have a shitty Square in the morning yeah you know that if you eat too close to bedtime if you drink at all uh you know any of those things so have you so I get an A sleep score on my eight Sleep mattress as well my eight sleep always gives me hundreds my horror ring is a harder grer yeah same with same with whoop it's usually they're usually within I wear a whoop I I actually I'm charging it right now um the uh I think Aura and woop both do the same thing you can disconnect the Bluetooth at night and then it will upload in the morning which I like um but the uh the eight sleep is always slightly better than my whooop but usually is not demonstratively it's like 96 97 9698 it feel like it's a it grades on a higher curve okay but I was was like one of the earliest investors in Aura when it first came out and the aura ring used to be this giant like Scarab size thing on your on your finger beautiful that's it right there yeah I mean this is this is the Gen 3 that's out now but uh when you think about the amount of integrated electronics and circuitry in there right and battery life it's got four or five days of battery it's got a multitude of sensors and lasers and Bluetooth uh I mean it is amazing it's the beginning of what we're going to see in the in the wearables revolution well when this integrates with Labs you know genetic testing you know um uh you know body scans all of these different modalities when AI is able to pull all of that into one one place you know the thing I I I'm really uh a fan of wearables for is you know Aura whoop um these guys can do uh studies that I think are more um important than individual randomized clinical trials because when you take you know six people or eight people and you send them to the University of Miami to do a sleep study and they walk into a sterile room that's like two clicks shy of a jail cell you put the monitors all over their body and you tell them to go to sleep um versus you get a thousand people or 5,000 or 10,000 people to opt into a study with whoop or with aura and you're studying them in their own environment or in their own family sleeping in their own bed and you know in their own habitual pattern I think you get better data you you you do it's uh it's amazing and I I've got you know eventually they'll be implantables I've got a if you feel this right over here uh there's a wow a little c a little glass capsule in there oh you're next level what is that dude what is going on there that's my business card is it really yeah I've been chipped first really so I was on stage I was in stage in um in Amsterdam it's a singular University event and uh the guy was there showing the future of implantables this is like God 12 years ago really early on that's how long that's been yeah it's been in there and so it's a it's a non-bioactive glass and inside is a uh near field uh reading device so a NRF and it's like when you chip a dog MH you know and you can read that's what this had my business card on it but eventually it will be measuring everything not you know not on the surface but subdermally MH and so these are coming my Venture fund we've invested in a number of these really yeah that's so fascinating uh tonal um you know uh I love the device for its ease of use and it's all about consistency MH it's all about consistency you know I use an inbody I mean I love the devices oh to measure your yeah and and again it's gamified so last year I focused on adding 10 pounds of mass my muscle mass and it was like consistency in the gym five days if I could six days creatin 150 grams of protein because I weigh 150 pounds and it was like just measure measure measure measure measure to play that game yeah and you have to want to play the game yeah but and you also have to enjoy it and you got to have the the you got to have trackable things to track it like this yeah and then I love my sleep my Manta sleep mask this is the there there three versions of it this is the most advanced version with a with speakers in it I actually don't use this one it's a little bit heavier but um I I I can't sleep without it I can't sleep without a I also use a I don't I don't have it on the list here but a mandibular advancement device it is a upper and lower upper upper and lower uh device that moves the jaw forward the mandible that opens up the airway keeps you from grinding my teeth and the or ring the Manta the H sleep my those are my like my my sleep kit I like I am just thrown as many hacks as possible but I I it's like I travel with this stuff and and my slippers got my slippers I'm at home uh and that's you know we talked about the S Cooling mattress and uh it's really for me maintaining that body temperature uh at you know I put I'm fascinated by how much of an impact just slight CH changes in temperature variation have at holding you into because I notice I will sleep the same length of time but my REM and deep scores will not be as much and when I look back at what the eight sleep is doing changing its temperature to hold you in deep Sleep to hold you in REM sleep I mean honestly how it even knows that is wild to me um but it you know my my whoop will validate that uh you know as well and people should know on your sleep um there are two important phases right there's your de sleep which typically occurs in the first half of your night's sleep cycle MH and your deep sleep is where your glymphatic system is clearing proteins toxic proteins in your in your brain and if you have to choose you know deep sleep is I think more critically important for our long-term Health REM is where you're consolidating memories and REM will typically occur at the later stage of sleep cycle so right if you are getting good deep sleep but you wake up 4 hours after you start you might get an hour you know I try and get at least an hour of deep sleep and at least an hour of REM sleep is my is my goal and it's hard to control that the only way I control it is no alcohol no food for a couple hours before and getting asleep early and when I do that I'm typically getting to that great cycle but if I wake up after a shortened sleep the Deep sleep's there but the RAM has been eliminated yeah yeah um so you know I'd like to wrap with a conversation on a technology that um that we're both passionate about uh which came out of DARPA uh called extera yes and their filter uh let's so I'm going to have extera on stage with me at the abundance Summit you know this year for the first time so every year at the abundance Summit which I hold in March I've got um you know a day on AI a day on exponential Technologies a day on moonshot a day on on uh on longevity and this is the first year that I'm really going from a focus on diagnostics to have focused on Advanced Therapeutics I mean the tech to enable you to extend uh your life and to really uh uh cure prevent diseases is finally coming online right now I'm a huge believer in the extera yeah pleas so um I I I did a podcast with Dr mink Chala CMO offic yeah he's a chief medical officer there and it's worth a watch if if uh and please the the the ultimate human podcast yeah the ultimate human podcast but um so Dr Char is a nephologist um he was an ICU septic specialist you know one of the challenges in ICU is that people get sepsis um it's pretty common you're ven bacteria in your blood bacteria in your blood very painful very dangerous very dangerous I mean it's sometimes not painful because you're not conscious but you know but but very very dangerous nonetheless and and a part of what happens is can shut your kidneys down so he was nephologist so obviously he's been studying how the blood is filtered uh throughout throughout his entire career he's also published some unearthly amount of of peer-reviewed studies it's well in excess of 100 sweetheart guy he's a sweetheart of a guy Ian he one literally one of my favorite humans and I've been talking to him about Spike protein detox but um and so this filtration system uh that that he's uh co-developed has um uh not just filters which most filters are uh filter based on size right so that so A filter will be a step down filter will have progressively decreasing um SI pores that things can get through yeah exactly and so you're filtering things out by size but when you're when you're filtering the blood um and you're filtering it by size like you want to get down to the size of the Micron size of a virus well now you're G to take platelets and all you're going to take all kinds of growth factors you're going to take all kinds useful things out of the bloodstream so you what you'd prefer to do is creating a binding affinity and if you could you know selectively create an affinity um that attracted things like viruses uh Micco toxins circulating tumor cells which is fascinating to me that you can get circulating tumor cells um uh bisphenols microplastics um and you could create this binding affinity and essentially what these Hep binding sites do you know aside from increase the surface area inside this filter is they sort of mimic the wall of the artery the glyco gcox yes and uh and so um which a lot of pathogens have a natural affinity for because that's how you leave the blood and enter the tissue the way the way uh when he was speaking at my longevity Platinum trip he said listen you typically have these things that are circulating through your blood and if they're trying to ATT attack you they need to attach to the surface of the blood vessel M and then enter through that and our blood vessels are coated with this glycocalix this large protein structure and um he built this uh this filter call it the SE Sephora sarif serif sarif filter and uh the number I remember it's a tennis court size surface area of this glyco protein that your blood flows through mhm and so if your blood has any kind of viruses and we are constantly building up these viral loads th% I mean I you know we were talking before the podcast and I'm a big fan of this sort of emerging Viewpoint that aging is this process of imuno fatigue yes um imuno exhaustion is IMO exhaustion yeah um so it's you know the immune system is just fighting on too many fronts you know eventually we're we're sort of micro poisoning ourselves to death we're bathing our cellular bi Aly in this toxic soup um even even those of us that are trying our best not to um and if you could filter these pathogenic compounds including a lot of the inflammatory compounds out of the human out of the bloodstream now all of a sudden you give your immune system a leg up you know so um you know so mold mot toxins U viruses um you know they have some really interesting data on long covid and you know 27 million people report suffering from long covid they can filter long Co out of your blood two or three filters it's incredible Asing that gives somebody their life back it it does and the way I think about it is the following uh we are living in this world of embedded with viruses and we get a we might get a CMV we might get a Epstein bar virus uh a um a shingles sh yeah all of these viruses and they don't go away they're embedded in your cell in your DNA and they flare up literally wound into your DNA and and it turns out your innate immune system your natural killer cells are there and they have two primary functions one is their looking for cells infected by viruses and killing those cells the other one is they're looking for cancer cells MH the cting cells Y and if you are bombarding your body with these eded viruses that you're getting and you get a cold and you get covid on top of that you exhaust it to the point where it cannot battle on all these fronts right and so when you put one of these uh filters and you literally are taking the blood out of your body you're filtering it over this tennis court size of glycocalix all of those uh those you know pathen tumor cells pathogens get get pulled out and you return it to your blood and then your immune system is like ah it's a field we go we're going to go sweep up all the guys that are left yeah I think it would be a great treatment to do before you did biologics so if you were doing stem cells or exosomes or a natural killer cell treatment or one of the other Advanced biological treatments to actually have a clean slate yes you know um one of the things that we do for you know athletes and other folks that are leaving the country to go do stem cell treatments is we say well let's take 10 weeks and really get your blood as clean as we can right that's let's lower you don't want to hit your body with stem cell treatments if if you've got any kind of cancer in your body or anything that the stem cells could activate uh continuous yeah and not only not only that you don't want to do it if you have you know hyperinsulinemia you know a lot of pro-inflammatory cyto kindes or you know very high C reactive protein High homocysteine these you know stem cells have an affinity to for inflammation and you want you want the inflammation to be in the areas where you need the stem cells to go to work not just sort dispersing once they get to the to the bloodstream yeah buddy um tell everybody where they can find you uh my first and last name just at Gary Brea on Instagram or at uh the ultimate human my podcast is the ultimate human um I have a community I write I I write a free newsletter every week I I write challenges and guides I host uh free challenges um about every other month cold plunge challenges breath work challenges whole food challenges gut uh gut challenges all kind of things and people go through a community with a community go through that challenge together I I have a I have a paid Community that's 97 bucks a month I do um four private podcasts a month with that Community do a lot of one-on-one like uh you know q&as um bring lots of special guests on there I've had Dana White jelly roll Stephen A Smith you know lots and lots of fun folks uh on our challenges I have a free challenge coming up in in February which is uh my morning routine challenge uh so we're going to go through the science and morning routines the science of Ian Rhythm I stayed with them for 3 days we're actually measuring sleep scores um it's a really really cool fun active engaged community and you know listen if you want to make a change in your life doing this with a community is the number one way to do it yeah for sure and that's what we're trying to do at that's what we are doing at the ultimate human is just building a community and we call them the ultimate human VIPs um so you can go to the ultimate human.com read read what it would be like to become an ultimate human VIP um so I'm back in Miami at the end of February the FI Summit is happening down there I'm I'm coming through to play with your toys let's do it man round you'll get we'll do a podcast in the hyper barck chamber oh I love that all right awesome Peter all right well my friend thank you take care every budy live healthy [Music]
