Chapter 1: Why does the US have such poor health statistics despite high spending?
You would think we'd be the healthiest people in the world, right? But we know that spending doesn't equate to outcomes because the United States basically leads the world in six things.
We lead the world in infant mortality, maternal mortality, the lowest life expectancy of a civilized nation at birth, the highest number of multiple chronic diseases in the same biome, type 2 diabetes, and morbid obesity.
Wow, we lead the whole world in those? We lead the world in those six categories.
All right, guys, he's back. Gary Brekker, third time's a charm. Third time's a charm.
I love it, man.
Let's do it, man. You've been up to a lot.
Yeah, been busy, man. Since you last been on. Started a show. Yeah, I mean, the message is really resonating. We decided that instead of just building a podcast, we'd build a real media platform. And so we're starting language translation into multiple languages. We added to the podcast by just not having a podcast.
So we would do challenges and evergreens and newsletters because the message is really starting to resonate, which is really exciting to see.
Yeah. What are the big messages right now you're trying to get across?

Chapter 2: What nutrients are we missing in our diets?
Chapter 3: How can sleep improve our health?
Which again is why I always throw that chart up there and I go, When you have a condition, like we label people with all these conditions, ADD, ADHD, OCD, manic depression, bipolar, autoimmune disorders. When you have one of these conditions, like if you have ADD or ADHD, you're not deficient in Adderall. Right, I mean, if you have high blood pressure, you're not missing a beta blocker.
It's not because you don't have an ACE inhibitor in your body. Very likely it's because you have been nutrient deficient over a prolonged period of time, and now you're getting the expression of this condition.
Wow.
I spoke at a bone strength conference. It was OsteoStrong a few months ago. And they're doing great things in the world, taking people that have osteopenia, which is like the early stages of brittle bone disease, which progresses to osteoporosis, which is really brittle bone condition. And just applying loads to their bones so their bones can strengthen.
But we had this conversation about, you know, what does it take to actually form bone? Because, you know, you look at nursing homes across the country and they are full of elderly men and women that have osteopenia or osteoporosis, brittle bone disease, and they've been taking calcium for 25 years. And it's not calcium. It's the other 12 minerals that we need to make bone, right?
We take calcium, phosphorus. We combine these two. It forms something called hydroxyapatite, and you get a really hard bone. But in order for that bone to really ossify, there's 12 other minerals that are required. So if you're not just getting the basic minerals, now all of a sudden you're getting the expression of this condition, brittle bones.
If you're missing vitamin D3, for example, the only – vitamin that human beings can make on our own. We make vitamin D3, cholecalciferol from sunlight and cholesterol. So if you're deficient in sunlight or cholesterol for that matter, then you have a hard time making this vitamin that acts like a hormone called vitamin D3. And what are the consequences of that?
Well, now your immune system's compromised. If you look at one of the second leading causes of morbidity in COVID, it was a clinical deficiency in vitamin D3. So if we would just reframe the way that we think about aging and pathology and disease as could these be prolonged nutrient deficiencies, then the message of hope really starts to resonate.
I get a lot of flack for, because I sell a red light bed and I sell a mat called a PMF mat and this thing called Hypermax. But the truth is all of this expensive equipment all it's really doing is mimicking what we're missing from mother nature. So I tell people all the time, you want to get it for free? Take your shoes off and touch the surface of the earth, right? Expose your skin to sunlight.

Chapter 5: How do nutrient deficiencies affect chronic diseases?
And again, I'm not saying that medication is not necessary in many cases, but it is not what we should depend on to be optimally healthy.
And when you have a society that has developed this notion that, well, my grandmother had high blood pressure, my uncle had high blood pressure, now I have high blood pressure, and even though the doctor can't tell me why I have high blood pressure, it's called idiopathic, I'm just going to accept that I need medication. Well, if you can't tell me what's causing it,
then how can you be assured that this medication is what I need? Right. I mean, if you were able to define it and say this is specifically caused by this and this medication will prevent that from happening, that makes sense to me.
But when you bring a patient, you know, when a doctor sees a patient for any number of what we call genetically inherited disease, which, again, I take big issue with because we assume that because things run in families. that they are genetically inherited, and that's patently false.
When you see that hypothyroid or hypertension or certain forms of cancer or type 2 diabetes or drug and alcohol addiction or depression or any number of other things that do run in families, When we assume that these are genetically inherited conditions without having a gene to point to, we've mapped the entire human genome.
So the things that are genetically inherited, we know exactly what they are. The BRCA gene does predispose women to an increased risk of breast cancer. It doesn't mean they're going to get breast cancer. But when we tell somebody that has hypothyroid because their family has hypothyroid that they inherited it, Without even having a gene to carry that condition. This is a false narrative. Wow.
And what it does is it makes people think that there's no other way out, right? Because, hey, I'm trapped because of my family history. And the same is true with all kinds of conditions. Yeah. Right? And we just assume that because it ran in my family that I have it and now I need to –
subscribe to this lifetime of medication, when the truth is that we actually rarely pass disease from generation to generation. Our DNA is specifically designed to not pass mutations on that are fatal or flawed. Now, they still get through, but when you look at how DNA replicates and divides the kind of looks like a ladder that's been twisted if you look at DNA inside of our cells.
And this ladder sort of unzips like a zipper. And then it re-zips again. And... What is supposed to happen and what happens 300 billion times a day in all of our cells is when these ladders start to line back up, when they don't perfectly align, the cell goes into something called S phase arrest. There's something that actually stops that DNA from replicating.
