295. Methylation Test & MTHFR Gene - Healf Experience Wellbeing Event 2026 in London
Ep 295 · Aug 13, 2026 · 1 hr 9 min
You've been told your whole life that your condition is genetic, that it runs in your family, and you're stuck managing it forever, but I'm telling you that with rare exceptions, we don't inherit disease at all. What we inherit is an inability to refine a raw material, which creates a deficiency, and that deficiency is what shows up as the symptom you've been calling a disease. Find what your body can't make on its own, put it back, and watch what happens. CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARYS VIP!:…
294. Dr. Deep Sea: Hyperbaric Chamber Benefits Nobody Explains Correctly
Ep 294 · Aug 11, 2026 · 1 hr 26 min
Dr. Joe Dituri, also known as Dr. Deep Sea, spent 100 straight days living underwater and walked away with lower cholesterol, longer telomeres, and twice the stem cells, so I had to get him on to break down what hyperbaric oxygen actually does. In this episode, we cover why a focused 20-day protocol might move your health-span more than any supplement stack, how his deep and REM sleep nearly doubled, and the safety rules almost no home-chamber owner knows. It genuinely shifted how I run my own c…
293. Admiral Brian Christine, MD: Why 77% of Young Americans Can't Serve in the Military
Ep 293 · Aug 6, 2026 · 50 min
When Dr. Brian Christine, the 18th Assistant Secretary for Health, told me men's sperm counts have dropped nearly 50% in just a few decades, it stopped me cold. We got into why America has fallen below replacement fertility, what's really driving it, from microplastics to ultra-processed food, and why restoring peptides to compounding pharmacies matters for anyone who's been buying them online. If you care about your fertility, your health, and staying out of the chronic-disease hamster wheel, t…
292. Dr. Josh Axe: Why Your "Normal" Bloodwork Is Lying to You and What to Test For Instead
Ep 292 · Aug 4, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min
Dr. Josh Axe spent two years exhausted before an advanced blood panel revealed the real problem: his vitamin B2 was almost undetectable, and his mitochondria were badly depleted. Once he corrected it, his energy went from a 6 out of 10 to a 10 out of 10. The fix wasn't a stimulant or a gadget, it was testing inside the cell (RBC markers, not just serum) instead of trusting "normal" bloodwork. If rest isn't fixing your fatigue, this is the episode that tells you where actually to look. As always,…
291. The GLP-1 Side Effect Nobody Warns You About
Ep 291 · Jul 30, 2026 · 7 min
You might think the win on a GLP-1 like Ozempic or Mounjaro is the number dropping on your scale, but I need you to ask a better question, not how much you're losing, but what kind. In some studies, 40 to 60% of the weight people lost on these drugs came from lean muscle, not fat, and that's a metabolic loss that costs you your strength and your ability to keep the weight off. These are the most powerful fat-loss tools we've ever had, but a tool without a protocol is just potential. Hit your pro…
290. Mike Feldstein: The 5 Hidden Air Pollutants in Your Home and How To Fix It!
Ep 290 · Jul 28, 2026 · 1 hr 7 min
You'd think the dirtiest air you breathe all day is outside, but Mike Feldstein showed me it's the opposite. The average home is usually 5 to 10 times dirtier than the air outside, and since the 1970s we've built homes airtight for energy efficiency, so every new couch, rug, and coat of paint off-gasses right where you live. In a study of 150 people, just cleaning the bedroom air got them 25 more minutes of sleep a night and 18% more deep sleep. If you've been waking up tired, foggy, or congeste…
289. You've Been Detoxing Wrong This Whole Time ft. Dr. Rahm, Dr. Kim & Dr. Peatross
Ep 287 · Jul 23, 2026 · 15 min
Most people grab a binder or start a cleanse and go straight to war on mold, Lyme, and heavy metals. Doing it in that order can make you far sicker than the toxins ever did. In this one, we break down why your drainage has to open first, the quiet signs it's blocked, and why the real problem almost never shows up on a 'normal' bloodwork panel. If you've been chasing symptoms no test can explain, this conversation will change how you think about detox for good. CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARY’S VIP!: …
288. Koa Smith: You're Facing Your Fear the Wrong Way. A Top Big-Wave Surfer's Method
Ep 287 · Jul 21, 2026 · 1 hr 1 min
You think some people are just born without fear, but my guest Koa Smith has spent 15 years paddling into waves big enough to kill him, and he'll tell you the opposite: fear never leaves, the whole game is what you do when it shows up. After a reef injury knocked him unconscious underwater and left him eight months numb, depressed, and unable to get a straight answer from a doctor, he clawed his way back with forest time, breathwork, meditation, clean food, and real sleep instead of a prescripti…
287. Live at the Southern Utah Holistic Health Summit 2026
Ep 287 · Jul 16, 2026 · 1 hr 24 min
For 22 years, I predicted death for life insurance companies. One pattern showed up in file after file: most "genetic" conditions have no gene behind them. Ask your doctor which gene causes your blood pressure, your autoimmune condition, or your ADHD, and most can't answer, because it doesn't exist. What actually runs in your family is a nutrient deficiency, not a disease, and once your body gets what it's missing, the disease often clears on its own. This isn't medical advice, so bring this to…
286. Dr. Jordan Metzl: Why Movement Is a First-Line Drug for Depression
Ep 286 · Jul 14, 2026 · 1 hr 8 min
I sat down with Dr. Jordan Metzl, a sports-medicine physician who's convinced that the reason most of us can't stay consistent isn't discipline or knowledge, it's motivation, and he says you can actually engineer it by "lowering the cost to act." We get into exercise as a literal medicine that would beat almost any drug if it came in a pill, why fun is the real holy grail of compliance, and how movement can go head-to-head with antidepressants for everyday anxiety and depression. If you've been…
285. Your Skin Tells the Truth in Ways You Never Expected - Dr. Vali, Dr. Barbara Sturm, & Danica Patrick
Ep 285 · Jul 9, 2026 · 40 min
You've been told your skin is aging because of what's happening on the outside, but I think the real fire is inflammation coming from the inside. I'm not saying the sun is the enemy; I'm saying the processed seed oils on your plate are feeding the problem far more than the sun ever could. Get the inside right, support your barrier instead of assaulting it, and your skin will do what it was built to do.

284. Dr. Bill Rawls: The Doctor Who Got Sick and Discovered What Doctors Miss
Ep 284 · Jul 7, 2026 · 1 hr 11 min
You've been told your fatigue, brain fog, and aching joints are just getting older. My guest today says that's the wrong answer and he'd know. Dr. Bill Rawls is a fourth-generation physician whose body broke down so badly at 50 he could barely walk across a room, until he found what was actually driving it: stealth microbes hiding dormant inside his cells, invisible on every standard lab.

283. Turmeric vs Fish Oil for Inflammation: Which Is Better?
Jul 2, 2026 · 11 min
Your fatigue, achy joints, and bad gut days might not be aging; they could be signs you're quietly inflamed. In this episode, I break down how to tell if chronic inflammation has set in, why it's driving some of the most serious diseases we face, and the simple, low-cost changes I use to cool it down: diet, sleep, stress, hydration, cold showers, red light, and a few key supplements. There's one daily habit that costs less than a dollar and one 30-second trick I promise you won't quit after seve…
282. Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal: You're Not Resilient. You're Just Coping. Here’s 5 Practices of Highly Resilient People
Jun 30, 2026 · 1 hr 11 min
Roughly 82% of autoimmune diseases show up in women, and the cause may not be what you think. In this episode, I sit down with resilience researcher Dr. Taryn Marie to unpack how the stress you hide rewires your nervous system, why "toughing it out" is actually the opposite of resilience, and the three questions I'm now asking myself every morning. She also opens up about the 20-year secret she hid from everyone and a study where babies who had food, water, and everything but one thing still did…
281. Dr. Phil Reveals The Exercise That Rewires Your Brain in Minutes
Ep 281 · Jun 29, 2026 · 34 min
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Phil to unpack the simple habits behind five decades of work in human behavior, why anxiety is fear without a real threat, the four questions he asks himself to stay honest, and the one exercise he says rewires your brain. But there's one line he keeps coming back to that changes how you see everything: there will never be another you.

280. Will Harlow: STOP Losing Muscle After 50 (Do This Instead)
Jun 29, 2026 · 53 min
A 30-second test with nothing but a chair can tell you whether you'll be independent or dependent at 80. Most people score lower than they expect and don't find out until something goes wrong. Here's the stat that stopped me cold: for older adults, the hip often breaks before the fall. The bone gives out first. The fall is what happens next. And most doctors never mention it. UK physiotherapist Will Harlow breaks down why your knee pain usually isn't coming from your knee, how even people in the…
279. There's Microplastics Already Inside Your Body. Here’s How to Detox Microplastics Fast
Ep 279 · Jun 18, 2026 · 13 min
You might think microplastics are an ocean problem, but research suggests you're carrying roughly a credit card's worth of plastic inside your body right now, circulating through your bloodstream and settling into your organs, your brain, and even reproductive tissue. In this episode, I break down how plastic gets in and walk you through my 5-step protocol to lower your total burden: filtering your water, never heating food in plastic, supporting gut motility, regular sauna use, and boosting you…
278. Dr. Jason Snibbe: On Why Meniscus Surgery Backfires, Prehab, Peptides, & Robotic Joint Surgery
Jun 16, 2026 · 57 min
Most people are told a torn meniscus needs surgery to "clean it out". But in this episode, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe tells me that roughly 30% of those patients end up needing a full knee replacement within three to six months, because the cleanout itself is trauma that speeds up the joint's breakdown. Instead, he uses a simple platelet-rich plasma injection that gets many patients 70 to 80% better from a single shot, sending them back to tennis and golf without ever going under the kn…
277. Everything Women Need to Know About Perimenopause, Menopause & Hormone Therapy - Compilation
Jun 16, 2026 · 55 min
I've brought together some of my best conversations on menopause and perimenopause with Dr. Jessica Shepard, Dr. Vonda Wright, and my wife Sage. Covering why your "normal" labs miss it, how a frozen shoulder can signal hormone changes, and the truth about hormone therapy. If you're navigating midlife, this video is for you.

276. Dr. John Kim: On Mold Toxicity, Mycotoxins, Heavy Metals, & Cellular Detox
Jun 9, 2026 · 1 hr 11 min
You might think that once you tear out the moldy drywall and move into a clean house, your body finally gets to heal, but in this episode, Dr. John Kim and I get into why so many people do everything right and still can't shake the brain fog, the fatigue, and the gut chaos. The answer lives somewhere most testing never looks: a stuck "cell danger response," where your cells stay locked in defense mode like a fire alarm that won't stop blaring long after the fire is out. I'll walk you through how…
275. Brandon Sawalich: On The Science of Hearing Loss, Dementia Prevention & AI Hearing Technology
Jun 4, 2026 · 37 min
One in six teenagers right now has measurable hearing loss, and almost nobody is talking about it. In this conversation with Brandon Sawalich of Starkey Hearing Technologies, we pull back the curtain on what Brandon calls a “quiet pandemic” driven by earbuds, concerts, and a generation blasting sound directly into their cochlea. If you’re still pounding music through your earbuds on a daily basis, this episode is your wake-up call. CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARY’S VIP!: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Connect…
274. Dr. Courtney Conley: Dementia, 4,000 Steps, Big Toe & The 6th Vital Sign
Ep 274 · Jun 2, 2026 · 1 hr
I sat down with Dr. Courtney Conley and what she told me stopped me cold…your walking speed can predict dementia up to seven years before the first cognitive symptom appears, which is why scientists are arguing it should be added to blood pressure and temperature as the sixth vital sign. We got into the mechanism behind it: BDNF, hippocampal neurogenesis, and why 4,000 steps a day can cut dementia risk by roughly 50% and I walked away convinced this is the most under-prescribed medicine of the 2…
273. Anthony Geisler: UFC, Pilates, $8T Longevity & ULC
Ep 273 · May 28, 2026 · 41 min
You wouldn't look at Anthony Geisler today and guess he was 145 pounds at six feet tall, a burned-out kid working too hard, eating too little, and sleeping less. Then a doctor gave him three pieces of advice, and Anthony drove home and joined a boxing gym that same day. That moment is where this episode starts, and it's why he and I ended up partners in the Ultimate Longevity Centers two decades later.

272. Garry Lineham "Human Garage": Fascia, Stored Trauma, C-Sections & Leann Rimes Release
May 26, 2026 · 56 min
You're stretching wrong, and I didn't believe it either until Garry Lineham put his hands on me and corrected a decades-old flat arch, a torn bicep tendon limitation, and my hip rotation in 5 minutes! In this episode, the founder of Human Garage walks me through why every time you stretch a muscle your nervous system dumps adrenaline for four hours, how he reverse-engineered the answer in 17 months of solitary confinement after $2.5 million and 300 practitioners couldn't fix him, and why fascia,…
271. Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos: On Screen Harms in Kids & the Surgeon General's New Advisory
Ep 271 · May 21, 2026 · 43 min
Since 2010, math scores in 13-year-olds have dropped 14%, reading has dropped 7%, and by 2050, 40% of kids are projected to have myopia and the Surgeon General's office just connected that curve to the screen in your child's hand. Today, I sat down with Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Health at HHS, to walk through the new advisory on screen harms, the 5-D framework parents can use today, and what bell-to-bell phone policies are actually doing in 37 states. CLI…
270. Dr. Tania Dempsey: Mast Cells, Chronic Fatigue, & Hidden Inflammation
Ep 270 · May 19, 2026 · 1 hr 8 min
Up to 1 in 5 people may have this condition and never know it and the diagnoses they've been handed instead, from PCOS to IBS to chronic fatigue, may all be pointing at the same hidden cause. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tania Dempsey, Johns Hopkins-trained internist and one of the leading researchers on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, who tells me that 100% of her PCOS patients test positive for MCAS, and walks me through why mast cells may be the most overlooked driver of chronic illnes…
269. Mark Manson: On Killing Your Dream, "The Subtle Art," Anxiety & Depression
Ep 269 · May 12, 2026 · 1 hr 23 min
The quickest way to kill a dream is to achieve it. That's how Mark Manson opened our conversation, and it hit me harder than I expected. We get into altitude sickness, the arrival fallacy, and why the one variable that predicts how long you live is the one I almost never hear talked about in the wellness world.

Ep 265 · May 11, 2026 · 1 hr 52 min
Could the smallest molecule in the universe be one of the most powerful tools for your health? I brought Dr. Tyler LeBaron, the world’s leading molecular hydrogen researcher, onto the Ultimate Human Podcast to break down what hydrogen water actually does inside your body, why it’s nothing like alkaline water, and what the clinical research really says about recovery, cognitive function, metabolic health, and more.

268. What Is Glutathione? Here Are the Uses, Benefits & Science
Ep 268 · May 7, 2026 · 15 min
There's one molecule inside every cell of your body that you can't live without and by middle age, your production of it has dropped substantially from where it was in your twenties. Once you understand what it does, you'll never look at fatigue, brain fog, dull skin, or the 3pm crash the same way again.

267. Dr. Clay Moss: On Metabolic Health, Insulin Resistance, Peptides, & Sleep Hygiene
Ep 267 · May 5, 2026 · 1 hr 10 min
The number one side effect of comfort is chronic disease, and we’re more comfortable than any generation in human history. In this episode, Dr. Clay Moss and I unpack the simple, foundational shifts that produced life-changing results in a 7-day in-patient metabolic rehabilitation protocol: full elimination diet, sleep hygiene, intentional movement, stress management, and community connection.
