Dana White is the CEO of the biggest and the most successful MMA promotion in the entire world, the UFC. Apart from the UFC, he is also involved in many different businesses where he is either an investor or he runs the business. All in all, Dana White is quite a busy man owing to his many endeavors in his professional life.
Many a time such people who are busy all the time tend to forget the importance of self-care and fitness. And a few months back the then 53-year-old White was stuck in a similar phase. Where he had put on a lot of weight which was easily visible to the public and wasn’t at all in a healthy place. Around this time he was introduced to Gary Brecka.
Gary Brecka is a professional Human Biologist and is also the co-founder of 10X Health System in Miami, Florida. The 53-year-old biologist is quite well known for making scientific predictions about one’s life expectancy based on one’s lifestyle and fitness.
Joe Rogan is a famous American podcaster and UFC color commentator who hosts the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. Rogan had recently featured Gary Brecka as a special guest in a JRE Podcast episode that aired in November 2023. During the podcast, Gary and Joe discussed many things related to the biologist’s professional work and field of experience.
Gary Brecka had told Dana White the amount of years he had left
Out of the many things they discussed, one was Dana White’s physical transformation and Gary Brecka’s role in it. Joe Rogan opened the conversation by saying how Dana White credits talking with Gary and taking his advice as completely changing his own life. To which Gary replied, “I mean, he did a lot of the work himself.”
Further Brecka talked about what he thinks made Dana White really understand the seriousness of the situation that he was in. Gary had told Dana after conducting tests what he estimated as the life span Dana might live up to. That is if Dana White continued the unhealthy lifestyle that he was living at the time.
Brecka had told Dana that he would only live around 10 years more if he continued such an unfit way of living. Gary Brecka told Rogan, “I think giving him a life expectancy just kind of validated it for him. It just really put it in his face. Uh-huh. And, you know, because that’s something you can calculate. He’s like, okay, well, I’m 53 now. 63 doesn’t seem that far off.”
In the podcast, Gary Brecka said he was introduced to Dana White through a mutual friend. He further said, “But in his cases, he had one of the highest levels of homocysteine that I’d personally ever seen and our clinical team had seen.”
Gary Brecka went on to explain, “[When] this homocysteine starts to rise and your vascular system constricts, it can drive your pressure up. And it drives your pressure up without anything being wrong with the heart. So then we start standing on the heart, which is what happened in Dana’s case.”
After the tests, Brecka claimed that if Dana was willing to give him a dedicated period of 10- weeks to work with him, he could help Dana out with his problematic health situation. This is how Dana White started his routine under the tutelage of Gary Brecka.
Dana credits Gary Brecka for saving his life
Piers Morgan interviewed Dana White on the “Piers Morgan Uncensored” show in September 2023. During the Interview, Gary Brecka joined Dana White and was introduced by Dana to the audience. Dana then talked about how the two met. And how Dana was interested after hearing that Gary Brecka was a mortality expert.
Dana then explained how Gary Brecka correctly estimated all the medical problems he was going through without knowing his medical history. Further talking about all the problems Dana’s parents had as well.
Dana further said, “To say that this guy has changed my life is the understatement of the century. I mean, as I got to the 10-week point, I started to feel like I was in my 30s again. And now I’ve been with him a year and a half, and I’m not kidding you, I feel like I’m in my 20s.”
Then Dana said that Gary Brecka had estimated that he had 10.4 more years to live before he succumbed to his unhealthy lifestyle. Then the conversation shifted to Gary Brecker and Piers Morgan asked him what he had done to prolong Dana’s life.
Talking about Dana’s condition, Brecka said, “Dana had a common precursor for cardiovascular disease called metabolic syndrome. It’s actually the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death worldwide. And it’s a combination of five things, abdominal obesity, low healthy cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, elevated insulin and blood sugar, elevated cholesterol, and hypertension.”
When asked what were the key things that he changed about Dana. Gary said, “We did three big things with Dana. We did hormone balance, we did nutrient deficiencies, and we did glycemic control, control his blood sugar. So he went on a strict keto reset diet, which is very strict, I call it a prescription keto diet,… He had a strict exercise and workout routine.”
On this note the conversation between the three ended. It surely seems as if Gary Brecka’s introduction to Dana’s life has brought about a positive impact. With Dana White now leading a healthy lifestyle.
