The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

by Gary Brecka

Gary Brecka is a Human Biologist, biohacker, researcher, and an anti-aging and longevity expert. His approach to health is simple: "Aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort." For over 20 years, he worked in the life insurance industry predicting mortality. This meant if he got 5 years of medical records and 5 years of demographic data on you, the team that he was associated with could tell a life insurance company how long you had to live to the month. After years and years of doing this type of research and analysis, he decided he wanted to spend the balance of his lifetime helping people live happier, healthier, longer, more fulfilling lives. With this mission in mind, he created The Ultimate Human podcast. In this weekly podcast, Gary has exciting conversations with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and scientists and is thrilled to share their transformative insights with you. What's keeping you from being an ultimate human? Tune in to find out. For more info on Gary, click here: https://link.me/garybrecka

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really enjoy this show and listen regularly; I’m so thankful for Gary Brecka and the information he shares. I have 4 stars because often times Gary talks too much vs simply asking his most intriguing guests basic questions and then allowing them to talk.

Run4mylife · Apr 2026

Hi Gary, I really enjoy your podcast! I usually listen in my car, but I’ve noticed that the volume is quite low — it’s hard to hear, especially when I’m driving. I can’t listen with headphones because of this. I hope you’re able to look into it and adjust the audio levels. Thanks for all the great content!

03Dinks · Nov 2025

Gary clearly is driven by helping others implement healthy habits by educating his audience. His life and career choices are obviously driven by a genuine love and care for others. His work is impactful!

CATR6719 · Jun 2025

I love this show. Excellent content, easy to understand and relate to, and I value the Christian perspective without feeling over spiritual. My only gripe is Gary tends to very often, way too often, do a soft whisper talk - especially the last several words of every sentence. It’s very difficult to hear, especially in comparison to his guests.

TheyLieAboutNamesTaken · Jun 2025

I listen to Gary a lot. I am very disappointed he would platform someone fraudulent. After paying $500 for a stool test and my father-in-law paying another $500 for his, we have never heard back from craft after months. We’ve reached out to their customer service email, called, and even texted and nothing. Such a waste of time and money.

WyoEG · Jul 2026

You have interviewed excellent guests, but the conversations do not flow because you interrupt and talk over them. Please interview graciously by asking questions and letting the guests answer.
