Gary Brecka, a biologist credited with increasing Dana White’s life expectancy, was a guest on the recent episode of Joe Rogan’s JRE podcast. The 56-year-old Rogan is a health freak. He enjoys learning more about the anatomy of human bodies and how to improve our health. Brecka was happy to explain the nitty-gritty related to a human’s blood health. The biologist even elaborated on the situation faced by UFC CEO Dana White.
Brecka’s main focus was explaining the importance of breaking down the homocysteine amino acid. He said, “If you have an impaired ability to break homocysteine down right, to take that amino acid homocysteine and convert it into a harmless amino acid called methionine, if you can’t make this conversion, homocysteine rises [and] causes something called hyper homocysteine… It becomes one of the more inflammatory compounds in the human body.”
This, in turn, causes high blood pressure and heart disease. White‘s body could not break down homocysteine and according to the biologist, this is a “silent killer”. You might not know that you are suffering from it but it could strike at any point and it could be too late.
When Brecka received White’s blood and DNA samples, he was shocked at White’s condition. However, he treated him using a “simple amino acid called trimethyl glycine.” According to Brecka, “What it did was it made up for this genetic deficiency this lack of code to break down homocysteine and his body started to methylate to break homocysteine down.”
Upon meeting Brecka a year ago, White has brought an immense change to his own health and lifestyle and as Brecka explained, the drug that saved Dana White’s life seems to be trimethyl glycine.
Gary Brecka revealed Dana White lost 30 lbs in 10 weeks and continued to lose weight till he felt ‘Amazing’
On the Action Junkeez podcast last year, White explained how he came across Brecka of 10X Health Systems. After receiving White’s samples, Brecka estimated his life expectancy.
“This guy can take your blood and your DNA and tell you when you’re going to die. And they’re right within a month,” White explained.
The UFC CEO was shocked to learn that he had just over 10 years of life expectancy. Brecka decided to personally help him out.

Speaking to Steven Barlett on his podcast The Diary of a CEO, Brecka explained White was pre-diabetic and had skyrocketing levels of cholesterol.
Brecka said, according to Unilad, “In 10 weeks, lost 28 to 30 pounds and he’s over 40 pounds [down] now… By end of fifth month he was off every prescription medication… He is no longer pre-diabetic, he has normal triglycerides, and his kidney and liver function improved… He feels like a 35-year-old man again. His blood pressure has returned to normal and he’s on no meds… He’s almost tripled life expectancy – just under 30 years.”

The biologist also explained that White told him he felt ‘amazing’ and never knew it was possible to feel so good. 54-year-old White himself posted before and after pictures on Instagram showing how good he felt due to his transformation.
Brecka is also famous for his keto diet for a healthy life called the Gary Brecka diet. It involves staying hydrated, minding your protein intake, including healthy fats in your diet such as avocados and nuts, and being extremely patient to yield results.
