According to my guest on today’s podcast, Gary Brecka, misdiagnosis is the third leading cause of death in the country behind cardiovascular disease and cancer.
In Gary’s previous career, he was not allowed to have any contact with the patient or the treating physician. So, even if he saw life-threatening medication interactions, he couldn’t pick up the phone. Needless to say, this was gravely troubling.
That early career was as a mortality-modeling expert in the insurance industry, using medical records and demographic data to predict mortality (how soon someone would die) to the month. After selling that company, he wanted to utilize the information he had gathered to help people improve their quality of life.
Leaving this career deepened Gary’s interest in blood chemistry and the longevity biomarkers found in human blood work. He then launched his obsessive and relentless pursuit of ways to improve and extend life by optimizing these bio-markers. Simply put, Gary began a worldwide search for the ultimate ways to optimize human life.
Today, Gary is the Co-Founder and Chief Biologist of 10X Health. He has more than 20 years of experience in biohacking and functional medicine, and his passion lies in customizing peak performance protocols for individuals to achieve optimal health. As an expert on serum blood and genetic biomarkers, Gary optimizes human performance through nutrition, evidence-based science, and innovative technology such as oxygen, red light, nutrients/supplements, movement protocols, and much, much more.
Gary works with a hand-picked clinical team of Board-Certified physicians (M.D.s), Ph.D. researchers, business leaders, functional medicine experts, motivators, and scientists, with one relentless mission: to uncover the safest and fastest way to optimize your mind, body, and spirit through modern science.
As a former competitive triathlete and consultant, Gary has worked with everyone from CEOs, to professional athletes from the UFC, NFL, boxing, and entertainment industries, and his mission is to bring people science-based, research-backed tools to live their best lives. Gary has a BS in Biology from Frostburg State University and a BS in Human Biology from the National College of Chiropractic.
I recently had the opportunity to visit Gary at his home in Miami and take a deep dive into his protocols and modalities. Prepare for a wild ride into the mind of Gary Brecka on this show!
During our discussion, you’ll discover:
-Gary’s use of the Egoscue stretching technique…8:40
Rapeh (use code BEN20 to save 20%)
Egoscue stretching technique
Postural realignment
Increases circulation of cerebral spinal fluid
Founded by Pete Egoscue and developed by Brian Bradley
A short Egoscue video outlining four outstanding exercises for posture and strength
-Gary’s morning walk routine and the importance of connecting with nature…11:12
His barefoot walk and “Four Corner Exercise” in a nearby park
At each corner of the park, Gary will do static exercises
Squats, planks, push-ups, etc
Breaks up the walk
Believes in the benefits of earthing and grounding
Takes off his shirt for the sunlight
Includes breathwork during the walk
Earth Runners
Erthe grounding straps
Doesn’t let the weather interfere with his routine
Believes that embracing uncomfortable weather helps slow down aging
One of Gary’s core beliefs is that aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort
-Why we typically don’t allow ourselves to experience stressors…13:55
We tend to believe stress is bad for the body
If we don’t load our bones, they don’t strengthen
If we don’t tear a muscle, it doesn’t grow
If we don’t challenge the immune system, it doesn’t strengthen
Lifting heavy and stressing the body on a regular basis increases longevity
-Gary’s previous work in the insurance sector, Science and the Predictability of Mortality, and how this led him to his interest in health and longevity…15:30
Probabilistic Mortality Modelling
Five years of medical records and five years of demographic data accurately indicate the length of a life
Many financial products are based on how much longer you’re predicted to live
Extremely accurate: insurance companies have survived financial crises
-The one sentence that defines Gary’s entire career…19:25
“The presence of oxygen is the absence of disease.”
Disease is found when there is no blood oxygen
Cancer and Type II Diabetes both begin in hypoxia
“Sitting is the new smoking” because a sedentary lifestyle is the foundation for hypoxia
The difference between breathwork exercises that induce hypoxic states versus systemic hypoxia
Short-term exposure to hypoxic conditions can improve oxygen transport
Poor methylation leads to hypoxia
CVAC (Cyclic Variations in Adaptive Conditioning)
-How genes and their sub-alleles are able used to help predict deficiencies…29:00
Methylation deficiency pathways are what lead to deficiencies
Gary believes we should supplement for deficiencies, which promotes healing
The foamy yellow substance (sludge) from processing human sewage that is used to create B12 cyanide
-Is there a link between light exposure and hypoxia?…33:35
Most people use stimulants to wake up
The importance of being in the sun first thing in the morning
Skin pigment and vitamin D deficiency
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon
Morley Robbins
Breaking Alzheimer’s by Dr. Dayan Goodenowe
-The most frustrating thing about Gary’s previous career…38:11
He could see ways to help improve people’s health but his hands were tied
-Vitamin D deficiency causes the same symptoms as rheumatoid arthritis…40:05
Misdiagnoses (with the exception of cardiovascular disease) kill more people than cancer
Misdiagnosis is the third leading cause of death in America
People misdiagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis will need a joint replacement six years and one day from the time of the misdiagnosis
Reduces mobility and ambulation, which causes other conditions
-Gary’s Super Human Protocol…52:30
10X Health Super Human Protocol
Kineon (use code BENGREENFIELSFITNESS to save 10%)
Joovv Go (use code BEN to save $50)
The three things we get from nature are Magnetism, Oxygen, and Light
Super Human Protocol
Magnetism from earthing and grounding
Using a PEMF mat causing separation of red blood cells
Alkalization is linked to polarization
Cells with similar charges will repel which decreases “clumping” (encourages blood oxygenation)
Exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT)
Breathwork
Red Light Therapy
Exercise in sunlight
It’s a complete fallacy that we can get alkaline from drinking alkaline water; we get alkaline by changing the charge of the body through low Gauss current, through grounding, through earthing
Biohacking equipment amplifies these protocols
-Gary’s collaboration with Grant Cardone, 10X Health…54:30
Streamline Medical Group and 10X Health
Grant Cardone
Making health protocols accessible to everyone
Blood and genetic testing to look for deficiencies and imbalances

Recommends eating fewer high-glycemic carbohydrates
The more high-glycemic carbs you eat, the more oxygen is required for digestion
The amount of blood in the body is fixed
We get to decide where the blood goes
