Living Longer and Healthier with Gary Brecka | Digital Social Hour

This week we delve deep into the human biology of aging and longevity with a special guest, Gary Brecka. With a background in biology, human biology, and neuroscience, Gary spent 22 years as a researcher for the life insurance industry, refining the science of mortality to where it can accurately predict the day, date, time, location, and cause of death for 370 million lives. But after seeing the biggest reasons why people were dying early and not having healthy lifespans were unhealthy lifestyles, exposure to toxins, and a lack of oxygen, he made a conscious decision to leave the industry and teach people how to live healthy, happier, longer lives.

We explore the importance of oxygen in our health, with many chronic fatigue sufferers sleeping poorly because of less oxygen in their blood. Hormone therapy, particularly testosterone therapy, can positively impact people's energy levels, but Gary warns us that exposure to herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, and preservatives that sensitize the gonadal system can make testosterone deficiency a concern for men as they age.

We learn that the human body is meant to thrive and strengthen under stress, so challenging our immune system can be crucial for maintaining good health. Gary shares many tips for doing this, including exposing ourselves to different stressors such as cold showers and weight-bearing exercises. We also dive into the impact of emotions on our health and how controlling our emotional state is essential to achieving our goals.

This episode is filled with fascinating information on hormone balancing, breathwork, nutrition, and much more. So, what are you waiting for? Tune in now to get all the insider tips on living a longer, healthier, and happier life. Trust me, you won't want to miss out on this one!
