Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here.

Gary, great to meet you in person, man.
Great to meet you in person.
So I've been following you for a while. You did Dan Bongino or vice versa.
Yeah, yeah, I did Dan Bongino's podcast.
And I was just like, I love the way this guy thinks. You're all about creating the ultimate human through health, wellness.
No question.
Optimization. Introduce yourself to the audience.
So my name is Gary Brekka, I'm a human biologist, a biohacker, a researcher. I spent about 22 years in the mortality space as a mortality researcher for large life insurance companies. So essentially what that means is if the team that I was working with got ten years of medical records on you and ten years of demographic data, we could tell the insurance company how long you had to live to the month. And I get a lot of flack for that because people go, if you predict life expectancy to the month, you'd be, you know, won a Nobel Prize. But it's actually some of the most accurate science in the world. What became glaringly apparent to me after 20 years in that industry was two things. Number one was that there were human beings on the other side of these spreadsheets. So I began to recognize that it wasn't just data.
And I realized that had I been able to, which I was prohibited by law, pick up the phone and just contact some of these patients or some of the treating physicians that were seeing these patients, I could have added on average seven years to their lifespan. Not just their lifespan, but their healthspan. And so I abruptly quit that career and decided 10 years ago with my wife that I would start a functional medicine clinic and I would teach people how to live healthier, happier, longer, more fulfilling lives.
And you've done an amazing job. Thank you. From Dana White to many others, they credit you with really optimizing their health. And so this is very applicable. I have a million different questions. Far away. Maha is the kind of new movement here. It is. And you're a leader in that. You're an advocate for it. As someone who has been really pushing for health care, like actually life care, not just health care, that you don't believe that there's a pill for every ill, what do you make of this emerging Maha movement?
You know what's really amazing is that I travel the world. I have a health and wellness podcast, and so by the grace of God, I get some of the brightest minds in the world come to see me, PhDs, MDs, researchers, biohackers, some of the most progressive minds in the field of longevity. What's very fascinating to me is that we are coming full circle, and we're just getting back to the basics, right? We're actually realizing the longevity, anti-aging, bio-optimization, wellness, extending our health span, extending our lifespan has to do with doing more of what God gave us and less of what man makes us. And thank you. And that's just a fact, right? Touching the surface of the earth, breathwork, sunlight, getting reconnected to nature, sense of community, sense of purpose.
