The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

• 212. Dr. Barbara Sturm: How to Heal the Skin from the Inside Out

  Your skin isn’t aging because of time, it’s inflamed, dehydrated, and systemically damaged by the very products marketed to save it. Join me and renowned skincare innovator Dr. Barbara Sturm as we dismantle the conventional dermatology playbook and rebuild skin health from a foundation of anti-inflammatory science. We touch base on the gut-skin connection, how seed oils trigger inflammatory cytokines linked to skin cancer, and why your skincare ingredients matter as much as the food you eat.  Join the Ultimate Human VIP community for Gary Brecka's proven wellness protocols!: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Listen to "The Dr. Barbara Sturm Podcast" on all your favorite platforms!

  What if the lightest element in the universe could be the most powerful tool for human optimization? Most people are chasing exotic supplements while missing the foundational molecule that makes up 10% of your body weight, hydrogen gas. This isn’t about selling you another trendy supplement; this is about understanding why we had hydrogen-rich streams and gut bacteria that no longer exist, and how restoring this one molecule through the NRF-2 pathway can transform everything from mitochondrial function to sleep quality.  Join the Ultimate Human VIP community for Gary Brecka's proven wellness protocols! https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Thank you to our partners H2TABS: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa EIGHT SLEEP: SAVE $350 ON THE POD 4 ULTRA WITH CODE “GARY”: https://bit.ly/3WkLd6E COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKp WHOOP: JOIN AND GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW MASA CHIPS: 20% OFF FIRST ORDER: https://bit.ly/40LVY4y VANDY: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/49Qr7WE AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij CARAWAY: “ULTIMATE” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3Q1VmkC HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S BIOPTIMIZERS: “ULTIMATE” FOR 15% OFF: https://bit.ly/4inFfd7 RHO NUTRITION: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: https://bit.ly/44fFza0 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC GENETIC TEST: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8fo X: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: https://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Timestamps 00:00 Intro of Show 00:26 Big Data & AI Will Revolutionise the Medical Field 05:10 Impact of Hydrogen in the Human Body 07:47 Theory of Immunofatigue 10:18 Three Greatest Deficiencies in Human Beings Worldwide 15:01 Adding Hydrogen Gas to One’s Routine 16:04 What’s Inside and Outside of the Human Cell? 21:26 Balancing Inflammation and Oxidation with Hydrogen Gas 24:47 What is GLP-1?  28:12 Amino Acids Are the Building Blocks of Life 32:50 Soil Lineage Studies Then vs. Now 35:12 Weakening of Our Immune Systems due to COVID Protocols 37:40 Gary’s Morning Routine 41:26 Remnants of the Radiation on the Brain 43:29 Stance on Hormone Replacement Therapy  The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Sign up here! http://bit.ly/4nTILPt Here’s what nobody tells you about happiness: it’s not philosophical, it’s biochemical, and there’s a formula for it. Neuroscientist TJ Power joins me to decode the DOSE effect (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins), the four neurochemicals that determine whether you wake up energized or apathetic, connected or isolated, fulfilled or constantly chasing more. The game-changer here is understanding that you can’t scroll your way to serotonin or double-tap your way to oxytocin!
