Gary Brecka: Human Biologist on Predicting How Long You’ll Live

Testosterone

Testosterone plays a crucial role in both men's and women's health, influencing energy levels, muscle mass, and libido. Gary Brecka emphasizes the importance of ensuring the body has the necessary raw materials, like vitamin D3 and DHEA, to produce testosterone naturally 1. He explains that many people on hormone therapy might not need it if they address nutrient deficiencies first 2.

The truth is that 70% of the people that are on hormone therapy don't need hormone therapy. They need nutrients to supply their body with hormones.

Understanding the difference between total and free testosterone is vital, as free testosterone is what the body can actually use 1.

   

Peptides

Peptides are emerging as a promising tool in hormone regulation and health improvement. Gary Brecka highlights the effectiveness of BPC 157, a peptide that aids in healing injuries and improving gut health 3. He also discusses growth hormone peptides like CJC 1295, which help increase natural growth hormone levels without external supplementation 4.

I'm a huge fan of peptides. I mean, I think peptides is the next rage in anti-aging because there's peptides for healing, there's peptides for anxiety.

--- Gary Brecka

These peptides work by enhancing the body's natural processes, offering a safer alternative to direct hormone injections.
