More from The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
Dr. Jigar Gandhi returns to break down the detox order he uses with patients: parasites first, then mold, heavy metals. He explains how cavitations and mold in the jaw may stall detox, why a veneer seam can become a place for fungus to grow, how a liver flush fits in, and why glycine comes up with glyphosate. He also covers the tests he trusts, including the cone beam scan and DMPS provoked metals test. Don’t guess, test.
Many weighted vests hang the load on your shoulders and leave your back to take the hit. Gary Brecka sits down with Brent Yates, author of The Gravity of Up, to break down how weight, compression and heat work together, why your tendons, ligaments and fascia need time to adapt, and where to start (3 to 5% of body weight). Plus the progressive load problem Brent is working on for military recruits. Don't guess, test.
You might think perimenopause is a 50s problem, but Dr. Remina Panjwani says it can start in your late 30s. She and Gary Brecka go through the early signs, from 3 a.m. wakeups and brain fog to a belly that changes no matter what you eat. They also cover why she prefers the DUTCH test over standard blood work, and how chronic stress and cortisol affect your hormones.

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