Why were our grandparents stronger, healthier, and living longer—without the “advancements” of modern medicine?

Gary Brecka, one of the world’s leading experts in human longevity and performance, exposes the hidden crisis that’s wrecking your hormones, slashing your energy, and cutting your lifespan short. In this no-holds-barred conversation with Dave Asprey, they break down the corporate greed, medical corruption, and environmental toxins designed to keep you sick, weak, and dependent.

What’s really causing the testosterone collapse in men and women? How is AI changing the game for hormone optimization, biohacking, and personalized health? And why are we aging faster than ever—while Big Pharma profits?

This first episode in a two-part series is a deep dive into hormone optimization, testosterone, cholesterol myths, longevity hacks, and the AI-driven future of health.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why testosterone levels are plummeting—and how to restore them naturally

• The real reason life expectancy is dropping (hint: it’s not just diet)

• The Kellogg conspiracy—how food was designed to lower libido & testosterone

• Why mainstream medicine is failing you (and what to do instead)

• How AI and big data are rewriting the rules of health & longevity in

• The shocking truth about cholesterol, heart disease, and pharmaceuticals

• Why functional medicine & biohacking hold the key to real health optimization

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Aim for optimal lab results of a healthy 25-year-old

You should ask your doctor to compare your lab results to the optimal range for a healthy 25-year-old, not the 'normal for your age' range which is based on a declining population average.
