The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka - 192. Dana White: 3-Year Health Transformation Review and Results!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Gary said, give me 13 weeks and I'll change your life. Nobody could fix anything that was wrong with me. I probably was going to die within years. A lot of what we did was not fancy multi-million dollar equipment. A lot of it was keto reset diet, getting into a routine. Dietarian lifestyle changes. It didn't take 13 weeks. It took six.

Starting point is 00:00:17 And it started to feel so good that you become addicted to feeling that good. Look at this guy. He's like TKO. He started to slap. He just signed us to deal with. It's Paramount, which is all over the news right now. The streaming is on the rise. So these streaming services are realizing they all need live sports.

Starting point is 00:00:32 Everything that I'm doing in my life and in my business, literally none of this would be happening had I not finally connected with you three years ago. This deal that you just did, I mean, the fact that it's going to be so impactful, I think about where you were when we started, where you are now, to say, once you feel this good, you never, ever want to go back. I'll say it again, for all you people that think it's a crockish, all you guys in the industry and in your, in your, you're out there criticizing. Oh, this is amazing, dude. Welcome back, Dana White. You know, you stopped by the house today in Miami, and I was like, we got to go do a three-year anniversary recap.

Starting point is 00:01:24 Love it. Yeah, I mean, we were just sitting in there having breakfast, and he starts going through my original numbers and what they meant three years ago. And, you know, I'm out here dropping my daughter off at college. We just announced our new rights deal this week. Power slap is off the charge. Seven and a half billion dollar rights deal.

Starting point is 00:01:44 I'm going into the Canelo Crawford fight on September 13th. Noce, the same night. And the list goes on and on with the business. And literally none of this would be happening. had I not finally connected with you three years ago. Thank you, man. That means a lot to me. That's a fact.

Starting point is 00:02:03 It's a fact. And it really does. I mean, there were a lot of naysayers out there, like, is he's going to sustain it? Or he's just taking steroids or... I love naysayers. Naysayers get me up in the morning. You know, when we sold the UFC in 2016, everybody said, oh, they overpaid. The UFC peaked and all this bullshit.

Starting point is 00:02:24 It's just... And I said this before, and I'll say it again. You know, everywhere I go, I end up saying, well, Gary Breka said, well, Gary Breka said, and everybody thinks I'm some paid puppet and, uh, you know. You're definitely not. You are a paying puppet. Exactly. Not only I might not pay to do this. I pay to do this. He paid for an IV today. But I say it all the time. Gary Breka, everything that is said about this thing, this guy,

Starting point is 00:02:54 everything that I say, it's all real. I started this journey three years ago. Carrie Kasem, a good friend of mine, was terrorizing me to meet Gary and she's like, he's going to change your life. I didn't want to meet him. I wasn't into this. I didn't believe in any of this. I believed in modern medicine.

Starting point is 00:03:11 Now I am the complete opposite. Like I say all the time, if I break my arm, I'm going to see a doctor. If something's wrong with me health-wise, I'm calling Gary Breka. I'm getting Gary on the phone. And there's just so much more that I could say. on how legit this guy is and the things that he's capable of doing. And I'm just, listen, I'm lucky I met you, man. I'm lucky I met you.

Starting point is 00:03:35 That means a lot. Because after you rip through this thing again and tell everybody what it really meant. And even me and my wife, when we talk about that you said, you know, you probably had 10 years to live, we don't agree with you. We think that I probably had less than 10 years to live. I was in really, really bad shape, man. And I don't mean, in bad shape. shape, like, oh, I couldn't work out. I was in bad shape. Literally, my, my health was at a critical point that I probably was going to die within years. Yeah. Yeah, I believe that. And we've had a

Starting point is 00:04:08 journey with some of your family members. I won't mention them, but older female members in your family, we've been, you know, uncles of yours. I mean, we've had some really interesting health journeys in Lyme disease and other conditions that are now in remission. Yeah, I just saw that Justin Timberlake came out publicly and said that, you know, he's been battling Lyme disease. Yeah. Now, my cousin, my cousin was, you know, he's in his 60s and, and he was starting to have a lot of problems.

Starting point is 00:04:42 I go on this motorcycle trip every year and, uh, half of his face got paralyzed. His, his hand is that side of his body wasn't working either. his hands. And as we were leading up to the trip, I said, I'm not going to, listen, I'm no doctor, but I said, he's got, he's having a stroke or a heart attack or something. So I flew him out to the Mayo Clinic. They did all the tests on them. And they couldn't figure out what was wrong with them. He spent three days in their cardiac unit. Yeah. Exactly. And, and, and again, no bullshit. Fuck what I lie for. We were at a bar in Tennessee. And, and, and he was getting, you know, worse and worse and worse. I said, I called my assistant and I said,

Starting point is 00:05:28 call Gary Brecker right now, send David's blood work to Gary Brecker and ask him to look at it for me. I shit you not. In 30 minutes, Gary calls me. I'm still at the bar. He says, yeah, this is plain as day. Your cousin has Lyme disease. That's what he has. He has lime disease. and how, you know, he's from the Northeast and, you know, how can Gary sent over a protocol while we're on vacation, on this motorcycle ride. Within three days, my cousin David started looking better, feeling better, completely cured him. It's not even an issue for my cousin now. This is one, like he said, there's been several things in my family. This is one of 15 to 20 Gary Breckis stories, I could tell you. I'll say it again. For all you people that think it's a

Starting point is 00:06:20 crock of shit and all you guys that think you're the fucking in the industry and you know you look like you're on a bunch of fucking steroids uh and and you're out there criticizing don't do it don't do it don't don't hook up with gary don't do it call your doctor and good luck to you anyway so i just you know it's our three year anniversary almost to the month um and you know you're on the heels of one of, I think one of the biggest deals in in pay-per-view and media history, I want to get your comments on that too, because I wonder if you think that, you know, pay-per-view is dead. But before we get into that, I want to, I want to just go through your labs. I want to just talk about the condition for people that understand labs.

Starting point is 00:07:03 You know, we put these on the, on, you were very, you were very truthful about these in the beginning. You were like, fuck it, throw it on, you know, social media. And the only reason that I am is because I'm trying to tell people, you know, yeah, you're 50 or whatever your age is, my legs, I could barely put my shoes on. My legs were in pain all the time. Um, uh, I had sleep apnea beyond belief. I used to throw up almost every night. Um, choking, waking up gasping, coughing, you know, and I have access to the best health care in the world. I can literally fly other places and meet new doctors and do things. Nobody could help

Starting point is 00:07:41 Help me. Nobody could fix anything that was wrong with me. It was either a new set of pills or a or a new mask for the CPAT machine and, uh, you know, all that bullshit. Yeah. So we, um, and I wanted to share that with people to let people know there's, there's, there's other alternatives and you can feel great. My life over the last three years, everything that I'm doing in my life and in my business, I'm about to head out on another motorcycle trip here. Flap TKO. Yeah, I'm flying all over the place. I'm literally not going to be home this entire month, but none of this, none of this would be happening right now if it wasn't for you. And I'm so deeply appreciative of that.

Starting point is 00:08:18 And I want people to hear this message because a lot of what we did was not fancy multi-million dollar equipment. A lot of it was keto reset diet, getting into a routine, eating whole foods when he came off of a keto diet, basic supplements, methylated multivitamins, trimethylglycine to bring down homocysteine and just watching mainly what went in his mouth. Yes, there was red light therapy and PEMF and cold plunges and saunas and that kind of thing. But that's widely available to the public. You can actually take a cold shower.

Starting point is 00:08:47 You can throw, you know, water in a Tupperware container, put it in your freezer and put it in your tub and make yourself a cold plunge. And you can actually get memberships to places that have a red light therapy beds. You do not need to spend 100 grand on a red light therapy bed. And I know a lot of the criticism that you and I get for the journey that we've been on is that this is only for rich people. This is only for the elite. And the majority of what he did, grounding, breathworks, sunlight, whole food diet, you know, a 10-week keto reset, getting into a routine, not missing a workout, steady-state cardio, taking things like hydrogen water and perfect aminos and just basic supplementation that you could get for $60, $100 a month at online or on Amazon from plenty of reputable places. That's what moved the needle for him. There was no steroids. There was no Turesepitides, somagletide, retacharytide, none of these fancy GLP-1 inhibitors. And it's actually the opposite.

Starting point is 00:09:43 When you say steroids, yeah, I'm on testosterone replacement therapy. And I always was. I was on it for a long time. I was taking the wrong kind, taking the wrong dosage. And he actually dropped my dosage of what I was taken. And I never felt better with the way that Gary did it. The guy that I was with before fucked me all up. If you know me, you know I'm a huge believer in the benefits of hydrogen water.

Starting point is 00:10:08 H2Tab delivers cost-effective portable tablets that generate ultra-clean molecular hydrogen at 12 parts per million, one of the highest concentrations on the market, with over 1,300 published studies showing benefits of oxidative stress, energy, recovery, brain function, and so much more taking charge of your health has never been easier or more cost-effective. Just drop a tablet in water. let it dissolve and drink it back. It's less than a dollar a day. Science backed and part of my daily routine.

Starting point is 00:10:40 I never travel without this, and it is my favorite biohack. Visit drinkh2 tab.com. That's drinkh2 tab.com and upgrade your hydration today. Now let's get back to the Ultimate Human podcast. Yeah, we went from a single injection every two weeks to multiple injections a week and spread out a lower dosage, brought your estrogen down. But just going through some of the labs here, you know, so the day we met, hematicrit, which is a measure of blood viscosity, tells you how close is your blood to water, how close is your blood to motor oil. Your blood was very much like motor oil. It was over 51 on a Labcorp lab, which means that the blood was getting to be like the viscosity of olive oil. When we looked at the kidney function, it was early stage renal failure, you know, with a filtration rate in the high. 40s, low 50s. This is an indication of early stage, you know, kidney, kidney failure. The triglycerides,

Starting point is 00:11:40 which we keep going back to fasted, were 764. I just want to say now the triglycerides are 79. Total cholesterol, 190. EGFR is in the 90s, meaning the filtration rate of the kidneys is dramatically improved. There was a lingering Epstein-Barr viral infection. That's gone. One of the hallmark labs that I talk about a lot and one of the reasons why I wanted to put Dana back on this podcast and talk about where we are three years from when we started was his homocysteine. This is an amino acid that's in everybody's blood. It's in your blood, listening to this podcast. It's in mine. It's in his.

Starting point is 00:12:18 When this amino acid rises, can irritate the lining of the arteries and cause arterial constriction and drive blood pressure up. At the time, Dana White was what was called a brittle hypertensive. and you are on beta blockers and ace inhibitors. These are lower blood pressure lowering medications. We used a simple amino acid called trimetoglycine to metabolize this homocysteine out of the bloodstream. As the homocysteine came down, your blood pressure, if you remember, returned to normal.

Starting point is 00:12:50 And it's still normal. And you're not on blood pressure meds. I just want to say we're three years. Not any meds. And, yep. Homocysteine, for the record, guys, is seven. Is hemoglobin A1C, the three-month average. of your blood sugar was over 6.4, you're a full-blown diabetic at 7.0. You're an insulin-dependent

Starting point is 00:13:08 diabetic. He was unaware of that. Hemoglobin A1C right now, maintained by diet, 5.3. So when you just when I look through these labs and, you know, as vitamin D3 level was in the low 20s, it's now between 60 and 80 nanograms. His thyroid hormone T3 was in the hypothyroid range. We did not put him on thyroid meds. We put him on methylated vitamins. Why? Because methylation is the precursor for deiodonization of the thyroid in the liver. You cannot deiodonize T4 into T3 without things like selenium and selenocysteine and selenomythionine.

Starting point is 00:13:49 And these come from the process of methylation. So basic supplementation, dietary lifestyle changes. And look at this guy. He's like, we've got TKO. He started slap. He just signed his seven plus. billion dollar deal with with with paramount uh which is all over the news right now by the way the final market that i want to just talk about is insulin he was hyperinsulinemic with insulin level above

Starting point is 00:14:11 32 his insulin is now nine so um and i want to be clear without tiers appetite majora wagovi ozempic um without the g lp ones i have nothing against the glp ones but this was not a massive pharmaceutical intervention this was the absence of pharmaceuticals and getting back to the basics um the amount of supplements that i take a day now are less than the amount of pills i took back then wow yeah i didn't know that wow yeah i mean i knew that you were on a lot you're on stuff for meneers all kinds of all kinds of stuff and i was on thyroid meds back then too i was on a bunch of shit that made me feel terrible and uh you know like you said i'm i'm I'm three years into this thing, and I'm addicted.

Starting point is 00:14:57 Addicted to coal plunging. I never used to like to do sauna. Now I do the sauna. I do the red light. I do all that stuff. I've been very hardcore and regimented. Let's just say this. When Gary, when I first met Gary, Gary said, give me 13 weeks and I'll change your life.

Starting point is 00:15:14 And he's like, it's going to be hard. I said, no, I won't. When I set up my mind, I'll, you know, 13 weeks, it didn't take 13 weeks. It took six. And it started to feel so good that you become like a, a. addicted to feeling that good. So I was hardcore for a long time. Now I jump in and out of keto. Like I'm going to Chicago this weekend for the fight and I'm going to wreck Chicago. I'm going to somebody's going off of keto. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to

Starting point is 00:15:42 I'm going to eat some food in Chicago. And then, you know, when I get back, I just jump back on my routine and do my thing. So I might and my weight might fluctuate like this, but my health doesn't it's it's uh it's incredible yeah since i got you in the seat i'd be remiss if i didn't ask you about this deal i mean this has got to be one of the biggest deals in pay-per-view and media history um and i hear all i was just reading about it online and people are like this at the end of pay-per-view you know this that side of media is dead like what what paper view isn't dead yeah the business is is alive and strong i'm doing a pay-per-view this saturday yeah um but what's happening is is that uh cable television is

Starting point is 00:16:23 is going on satellite and streaming is on the rise uh i mean Netflix uh stock is higher than it's ever been and and and they're killing it but you know if there's a new show that i like called mobland and i've already watched this nine episodes i could watch that in a couple days or i can watch it two years from now it's always going to be there yeah destination tv is live sports so these streaming services are realizing they all need live sports so uh the battle is on for everybody to get what they're going to get. And I think the pay-per-view is still a good business as a lie. But for our fans now, instead of paying, you know, I saw a thing yesterday. It was like $1,035 to be a UFC fan and get all the content. Now it's like $104 to be a UFC fan.

Starting point is 00:17:13 My son gets an $80 pay-per-view sometimes twice in a month. He watches every single UFC pay-per-view religiously, and he's 24 years old. He's not exactly. Yeah, love you too, Cole. He's not exactly hemorrhaging cash. And he was like, dude, this is the greatest thing to happen to the fans ever. It's like this was the biggest, best move for the fans to be able to see the sports. It's great for the sport. It's great for the fans.

Starting point is 00:17:40 And it's definitely good for the fighters. It's a win, win, win for everybody. Yeah, because fighters used to get a percentage. Some of them would get a percentage of pay-per-view, right? Yeah, we'll figure that all out mathematically, you know. And, yeah, every time. We knew a new rights deal, fighter pay goes up and up and up. So it's good for everybody.

Starting point is 00:17:57 But I think about the three-year journey that we've been on, what you've accomplished in the last three years. I mean, first of all, slap, I feel like came out of nowhere. It did. And you and the, you and the Frater brothers, I think, you know, took another trip around the sun with that one and just, did you just call them up one day and say, hey, you guys want to run it again?

Starting point is 00:18:16 Yeah, literally what I did. I said, listen, you're not going to believe this, but I'm into the slapping thing. Want to do it again? Does the rents don't say you're out of here, freaking money. No, he said, how much money do you need? Yeah, the last one went pretty well. That's awesome, man. So slap has been taken off, TKO. I feel like the Canelo fight is probably the biggest fight in box. I feel like, again, I wouldn't call it myself a boxing fanatic, but I'm a,

Starting point is 00:18:40 you know, I'm a sports fan. I'm a huge fan of UFC. I'm a fan of boxing. I feel like boxing got sort of, uh, jokish there for a while almost. There just seemed to be a lot of these, uh, fights with with older fighters fighting YouTubers, things like that. Well, they had the, uh, like the fights everybody wanted to see never got made. Yeah. That was the problem. Yeah. Or they got made too late and, you know, you know, I'm not saying that I'm the guy that's

Starting point is 00:19:06 going to come in and fix, but I'm going to give it a shot. Yeah. I'm going to give it a shot. I mean, you put. I have less than zero arrogance about thinking that I'm going to fix boxing because this thing's so broken, but yeah, I'm going to give it a shot. Yeah. No, and I think the fans are looking forward to.

Starting point is 00:19:20 Dana. And, and this, this deal that you just did, I mean, the fact that it's going to be so impactful for the, for the fans, I think about where you were when we started, where you are now, I'm not taking zero credit for that, you put in the offer, but there's somebody listening to this right now that just has inflict that switch. It just either doesn't believe it or has an excuse not to start and just, you know, wants to, wants somebody to peel back the layers of the onion and promise them that it's going to work out. And this is why I sat down with Dana three years later to say, this is sustainable. You know, I've had many, many, a client like Dana that says, once you feel this good,

Starting point is 00:20:03 you never, ever want to go back. And even if you fall off the wagon badly and you go on a, you know, a bender, whatever a bender is for you, it's food or it's, you know, drinking alcohol and party with your friends or whatever your bender is. it's about having the knowledge on how to fix it and get back on your routine and get your life back together. Because I say it all the time. We were just in Italy for 10 days. Pizza, pasta bread every day.

Starting point is 00:20:33 I ate twice a day. And that's like, all right, now it's time to get back on the wagon. Now before, when I was all busted up and, you know, you go see a doctor and they're just throwing pills at you and pills and you never feel good and you feel like shit. And I'm telling you, everybody got some bad news for you. 50. 50 is a whole other animal. When you turn 50, man, the wheels start coming off the bus. And it's just you can get away with that shit when you're younger.

Starting point is 00:20:59 When you get into your 50s, you can't. And not just me, friends of mine that I've brought to you. And we're all good now. I mean, all my friends that I've brought to Gary that are over 50 that I went to school with, we're all good, man. We all feel great. We all feel young. we're all still doing what we love to do and I imagine that some people that don't have the access

Starting point is 00:21:23 to even good health care start to feel a sense of hopelessness like uh you know I can't stop this sleep apnea I can't stop snoring you know my legs hurt my this my this my that I'm telling you right now this guy can fix everything he can fix all your problems he really is a wizard it's It's unbelievable and I hope Gary outlives me because I don't want to understand. I don't want to live in a world where I can't call Gary Breckin when I'm fucked up. I created a monster because every, you know how often this guy text me. Can I drink this? Can I eat this? What do you think of this?

Starting point is 00:22:00 That's junk. That's junk. That's okay. So true, man. But I created a monster. This guy flies, cold plunges around the world and leaves them in hotels all over the world. If you're one of the beneficial like doorman that gets to actually stock his room, you probably have a coal plunge.

Starting point is 00:22:16 I literally everywhere I go a coal plunge and set up in my room everywhere. I was just on the boat. I was on a boat in Italy and they rented a really nice coal plunge on the boat. And I don't, it's like the old American Express commercials. I don't go leave home without a coal plunge man. You know, I was staying randomly at the Peninsula Hotel in New York. And I check in and a few minutes after. I check in. There's a knock on the door and he introduced himself. He said, hey, I'm the general

Starting point is 00:22:43 manager of the hotel. Samir. The greatest GM of any hotel is unbelievable. Yeah. And he goes, I know that you're a good friend of Mr. White. I just wanted to let you know. He has a cold plunge here and he said, you're welcome to use it. And they brought it into my room on cold plunge the whole time I was there. They took it out. Yep. Yep. Dane is not fucking around, dude. That was great. I know you're tight on time man i appreciate you sitting down and and and wrapping this up it's it's a beautiful friendship we developed and i love being on the journey with your family i love you thanks for changing my life brother you're welcome man and thank you're saving my life however you want to call it yeah you're you're welcome it's been a great journey with your family and uh i'm looking
