Gary Brecka is a Human Biologist, biohacker, researcher, and an anti-aging and longevity expert. His approach to health is simple: "Aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort."
For over 20 years, he worked in the life insurance industry predicting mortality. This meant if he got 5 years of medical records and 5 years of demographic data on you, the team that he was associated with could tell a life insurance company how long you had to live to the month. After years and years of doing this type of research and analysis, he decided he wanted to spend the balance of his lifetime helping people live happier, healthier, longer, more fulfilling lives.
With this mission in mind, he created The Ultimate Human podcast. In this weekly podcast, Gary has exciting conversations with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and scientists and is thrilled to share their transformative insights with you. What's keeping you from being an ultimate human? Tune in to find out.

Every major religion prescribes it, hunter gatherers lived it, even your pets do it naturally…so why are modern humans the only species that's forgotten how to fast? After 22 years of analyzing mortality data in the insurance industry, I've discovered the answer lies in understanding your unique biology and metabolic flexibility, not forcing your body into extreme protocols that work against its natural design. In this episode, I'm sharing the science-based framework I use to help people determine if fasting aligns with their current health status, goals, and hormonal patterns.
