The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

You might think perimenopause is a 50s problem, but Dr. Remina Panjwani says it can start in your late 30s. She and Gary Brecka go through the early signs, from 3 a.m. wakeups and brain fog to a belly that changes no matter what you eat. They also cover why she prefers the DUTCH test over standard blood work, and how chronic stress and cortisol affect your hormones.

Organic tells you how coffee was grown. It doesn't tell you whether it was tested for mold toxins or heavy metals. Gary Brecka explains why the coffee bean is really the seed of a fruit, how ochratoxin A was detected in 54.6% of more than 3,000 coffee samples in a 2024 systematic review, and why volcanic soil can bring lead, cadmium, and arsenic into your cup. Then he shows you what to check on your bag tomorrow morning. Don't guess, test.

You are what you absorb, not just what you eat. Integrative Health Philosopher and Researcher Chervin Jafarieh joins Gary Brecka to explain what happens when your gut can't absorb what you take. They cover how antacids, soda with meals and low stomach acid affect digestion, why cortisol can leave you short on digestive enzymes, how liposomes made from phosphatidylcholine carry nutrients past stomach acid, and why slow chewing helps your gut get more from meals.

You might think being "skinny fat" is just about looking soft under your clothes, but a 2023 study found 26% of normal-weight men and 38% of normal-weight women actually had excess body fat their BMI never showed. The real name for it is normal weight obesity, and your scale, your mirror, and your last physical all miss it. This episode covers the four numbers that actually catch it, and the three things that fix it.
