Are we all kind of in love with Gary Brecka? The energy he brought to The HIM & HER Show was through the roof and along with it he brought a kind, open attitude with tangible tips and takeaways, based in science and facts. If you listened to the episode there is no doubt that Gary is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to longevity, human health and bio-hacking.
Actually Lauryn and Michael also appeared on his podcast, The Ultimate Human, to discuss their own health journey, working with your spouse, and practical wellness tips for busy entrepreneurs.
He covered so much ground related to all aspects of health: hormones, weight, mood disorders, pharmaceuticals, his own morning routine and his most effective practices. But the main focus, that no one has really ever discussed on the show before, was NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES.
As a human biologist, Gary explained to us the most common deficiencies we humans have today as well as the most common ailments that affect the vast majority of Americans today. Coincidence these two things are linked? Nope.
The main thing we loved about Gary’s supplement recommendations is they’re supplements that can support your mood and gut, get rid of water retention, help your thyroid function and overall give you more energy, feel better in your body and optimize your overall health.
If you listen to only one episode this week, choose this one. With that, let’s get to his recommendations.
Gary Brecka’s Top Supplement Picks for Optimal Health: The Ultimate Guide for Everyone
Gary tells us that pregnant woman should be taking methyl folate opposed to synthetic folic acid. He likes the prenatal by Pure Encapsulations and Thorne too, as they’re full of methylated vitamins which are better for absorption among other things.
This is something can help people wean off of thyroid medications (which should always be discussed with your healthcare provider).
Gary notes that essential fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, are essential for health and life.
Absolutely essential for directly supporting bodily functions, hair, skin, nails etc. These are the building blocks for various proteins and are more bioavailable that eating protein itself. Gary likes Body Health’s Perfect Aminos which has high adsorbability and minimal calories. Lauryn and Michael love Kion Aminos.
Many women struggle with estrogen dominance, fluid retention and stubborn weight. Gary says that DIMPRO can help with all these things. If you do suspect hormone levels are off, you should have have a hormone panel done.
Balanced mineral and electrolyte levels are key for better hydration, energy, muscle function and overall health. In today’s world this is very important as our soil, food and lifestyle contribute to the depletion of minerals and electrolytes.
