What hidden nutrient deficiencies affect our health?
If that database that I had access to could see the light of day, and unfortunately it never will, but if it could, it would permanently change the face of humanity. Well, this is going to be a juicy, juicy interview because I have so much to dig in. Gary Brekka is a biohacker and one of the world's foremost experts on... When a life insurance company is getting ready to put $10 million or $25 million worth of risk on your life, there's only one variable that matters. How many more months do you have left on Earth? The reason why people were not living longer, healthier, happier lives was not pathology, was not disease, was not some catastrophic illness that they had. It was for things that we called modifiable risk factors.
And, you know, I was prohibited by law from contacting the patients. So even if I saw life-threatening drug interactions, I could not contact the patient to warn them. If I had been able to just pick up the phone and talk to that patient, I could have added, on average, seven years to their health span. Do you ever think that there could be some sort of regulation to make that data available publicly so that we could save more lives? Young Improfiters, today we're unlocking a Yap classic that might completely change how you think about your health, aging, and what it really means to feel normal.
How do nutrient deficiencies impact mental health?
In this episode, I sat down with Gary Brekka, a human biologist, biohacker, and former life insurance mortality expert who spent decades predicting exactly when people would die. And after seeing the same patterns over and over again, he walked away from that career to help people live longer, healthier lives instead. What Gary discovered is that most modern health issues, from fatigue and brain fog to chronic disease and accelerated aging, aren't driven by genetics at all. They're driven by oxygen deprivation, nutrient deficiencies, and the everyday lifestyle habits we rarely question. You'll learn in this episode how your body actually works and how a few practical, accessible biohacks can dramatically improve your energy, focus, hormones, longevity, and overall quality of life.
Yeah, fam, let's get into it. Gary, thanks for joining us for this super important conversation and welcome to Young and Profiting Podcast. So excited to be here. I am very excited for this conversation. I love talking about biohacking and you are so experienced.
Why is oxygen crucial for health and longevity?
And when I was doing research for this podcast, I found out that you spent 20 years in the life insurance industry and you basically would predict when people would die to the nearest month. And first of all, I didn't even know a job like this existed. So it was so fascinating to me.
