00:00:00
it's another new day new you we are
00:00:02
continuing to evolve and make our lives
00:00:05
better and our next guest has been
00:00:06
helping us to do so Gary Brea has
00:00:09
stopped by he's the founder of 10x
00:00:11
health system and The Man Behind the
00:00:12
number one Wellness podcast the human
00:00:14
the ultimate human I should say and you
00:00:16
I think you've become the ultimate human
00:00:17
everyone just I sit and watch your your
00:00:20
podcast listen to your podcast and watch
00:00:22
your Instagram and I'm just always Blown
00:00:23
Away by the great little tidbits of
00:00:25
knowledge you have one of the things
00:00:27
that stood out to me always was blood
00:00:29
work I know we go our PCP we get our
00:00:31
yearly blood work done but it just
00:00:32
doesn't seem like it's enough right do
00:00:35
you agree with that and what do you
00:00:36
suggest I do we you know I I think that
00:00:38
when you're looking at blood work you
00:00:39
ought to look at three categories right
00:00:41
you ought to look at something called
00:00:42
glycemic control how well are you
00:00:44
regulating your blood sugar and that has
00:00:46
three markers glucose something called
00:00:48
hemoglobin A1c a three-month average of
00:00:51
your blood sugar and your insulin 50% of
00:00:54
Americans are pre-diabetic and
00:00:56
pre-diabetes is that lurking little
00:00:58
devil that you don't feel you don't you
00:01:00
don't see you don't sense it but it is
00:01:02
the root of all evil I'm telling you
00:01:04
blood sugar is the root of all evil we
00:01:06
know now for example that Alzheimer's is
00:01:07
linked to type 3 diabetes which is
00:01:09
insulin resistance in the brain and
00:01:11
prolonged elevated blood sugar over time
00:01:13
is one of the worst things that you can
00:01:15
do for longevity so you look at your
00:01:17
glycemic control you look at your
00:01:19
hormone balance um and and then you also
00:01:22
look at nutrient deficiencies some of
00:01:24
the nutrients that you deprive the human
00:01:26
body of lead to the expression of
00:01:28
disease right so vitamin D3 B12 the
00:01:31
complex of B vitamins these are
00:01:33
absolutely essential to good mental
00:01:35
health and to good physical health you
00:01:37
know it's astounding what what goes on
00:01:39
in our gut that needs these these
00:01:40
vitamins you know 90% of the
00:01:42
neurotransmitters in our body are right
00:01:44
here if you don't have them here you
00:01:46
can't have them here so we like to think
00:01:48
that people are deficient in
00:01:49
neurotransmitters have a mental disease
00:01:51
or a mental disorder but the truth is
00:01:54
they actually have a gut disorder that
00:01:56
is expressing itself very often as a
00:01:58
mental condition people that suffer from
00:02:00
anxiety ADD ADHD OCD all of these
00:02:04
conditions that we say are conditions of
00:02:06
you know a mental a mental disorder very
00:02:08
often are just deficiencies in the gut
00:02:10
you know I I speak to a lot of lot of
00:02:12
parents that that tell me it's a full
00:02:14
contact sport to get their kid in the
00:02:15
car to go to school in the morning and
00:02:18
so many kids have attention deficit
00:02:20
disorder or they're disruptive or they
00:02:21
don't follow um directions or they can't
00:02:23
keep their attention span and very often
00:02:25
this is linked to what they're eating
00:02:27
first thing in the morning because we
00:02:28
are pumping our kids full of something
00:02:30
called folic acid folic acid is a
00:02:33
man-made chemical we make it in a
00:02:35
laboratory is not a natural vitamin it
00:02:37
does not occur anywhere naturally in
00:02:39
nature it's in fortified or enriched
00:02:42
foods so moms and dads if you have a
00:02:44
child that has some behavioral
00:02:45
challenges ADD ADHD um has some impulse
00:02:49
control issues or attention uh deficit
00:02:51
issues just try for one week I'll give
00:02:53
you a great one week free experiment get
00:02:55
folic acid get the Fortified or enriched
00:02:58
foods out of their diet these are like
00:03:00
your white Bagels your Pop-Tarts your
00:03:02
cereals get these out of their diet for
00:03:04
7 days and tell me if you do not have a
00:03:06
brand new child walking around the house
00:03:08
I mean that's again just a simple change
00:03:11
that we can make and just to be able to
00:03:13
notice results so okay again the blood
00:03:15
work then you've gone through that now
00:03:17
the supplements you brought up some so
00:03:19
Staples in our in anyone's diet what the
00:03:22
as far as supplements go what you said
00:03:24
Staples and supplements are first of all
00:03:25
a mineral salt I really insist that
00:03:27
people take a mineral salt because most
00:03:29
of us are mineral deficient we need 91
00:03:31
essential minerals right if you look at
00:03:33
nursing homes they are full of men and
00:03:35
women that have been taking calcium for
00:03:36
15 years that have brittle bone disease
00:03:39
right that have osteopenia or
00:03:40
osteoporosis so calcium is not the
00:03:42
answer the answer is the 12 minerals
00:03:44
that are needed to build strong bones
00:03:46
and minerals are used in our body for
00:03:48
all kinds of things I'm talking about
00:03:49
the boring stuff mbum selenium manganese
00:03:52
Boron magnesium zinc silica copper iron
00:03:56
these minerals you can get from mineral
00:03:58
salts like Celtic Sea salt like Baja
00:04:00
gold sea salt these are the cheapest
00:04:03
life biohacks in the world a $5 bag of
00:04:05
this salt will last you 5 years and you
00:04:07
can take a/4 teaspoon of this put it in
00:04:10
water in the morning mix it up and whack
00:04:11
it back and you'll be hydrated and
00:04:13
mineralized first thing in the morning
00:04:15
right so that would be the your number
00:04:16
one thing that would be my number one
00:04:18
hack the number two would be most of us
00:04:20
are amino acid deficient we think that
00:04:22
amino acids are proteins they're not
00:04:24
amino acids are the building blocks of
00:04:25
proteins right so no matter what protein
00:04:27
we put into the body it all becomes the
00:04:30
same thing it all becomes amino acids we
00:04:32
also think that we can Target direct
00:04:33
proteins we think we can eat collagen
00:04:35
and have it show up as collagen in our
00:04:37
skin well we can't you know you don't
00:04:38
eat your nails to grow your nails you
00:04:40
don't eat your hair to grow your hair
00:04:42
yeah but we think we can eat collagen to
00:04:43
grow collagen we can't collagen is
00:04:45
actually an imperfect protein won't even
00:04:47
build muscle it lacks tryptophan so what
00:04:50
we want to do is we want to take a full
00:04:52
amino acid complement look for um
00:04:54
something that has all eight essential
00:04:57
amino acids and then you can build ha ha
00:04:59
skin nails natural killer cells in your
00:05:02
bloodstream and your muscles so we need
00:05:05
the eight essential amino acids and the
00:05:06
final two are fatty acids EPA and DHA
00:05:11
fatty acids these are what's called
00:05:13
omega-3 fatty acids we have this
00:05:15
connotation that fat is bad for us but
00:05:17
actually omega-3 fatty acids are
00:05:19
desperately needed in the body to help
00:05:21
reduce our neural inflammation and to
00:05:23
have all kinds of lower inflammatory
00:05:25
markers in our blood we could I could
00:05:27
talk with you for hours about this hours
00:05:29
