WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!

I’m about to quit something that is very bad for me. Been saying it for a while but I am really doing it sometime this week. I’ve been done for a while. It’s just hard to change. Wish me luck and if you will, pray for me. Thank you.

When Gary said to maintain elevated emotional states you need more oxygen which is why anger, fear, etc are easier to experience because many people have less oxygen....that hit the nail on the head for me. Breathwork seems to be the answer!!

Quit drinking 2 years ago . Stopped smoking weed this month Edit - still not drinking. Have fallen off a few times with the weed .

“The passion has to be greater than the problem” Powerful

00:14 🍹 Alcohol, sugar, and weed can hinder success for many: while a few succeed despite indulging, countless become too inefficient due to these habits, leading to patterns of mediocrity. 01:12 🧠 Dopamine absence breeds addiction: Dopamine deficiency is a key factor in addiction, like the reward from eating sugar that triggers addiction, highlighting the role of dopamine in behavior. 02:07 🎮 Addiction tendencies shift: Addictions change forms due to the underlying dopamine deficiency, showing that the behavior persists despite curing the physical addiction. 03:42 💡 Habitual behaviors impact life quality: Actions that soften life's quality should be identified, irrespective of whether they meet the classic addiction definition, aiming to help people improve. 04:51 🚀 Commitment to success demands sacrifice: Extraordinary achievements often necessitate sacrificing habits like regular partying or substance use to focus on skill acquisition and growth. 07:36 💥 Vices' impact on mental and metabolic health: Commonly accepted vices, like drinking or weed, can adversely affect mental fitness, oxygen transportation, and mitochondrial health. 08:59 🧬 Elevated emotional states and oxygen: Elevated emotional states, linked to oxygen in their molecular structure, depend on oxidative states, impacting how individuals experience joy or arousal. 11:43 🤔 Physiology's role in emotional states: Emotional states, especially anxiety, often root in physiology, like issues with neurotransmitter production, emphasizing the biological basis of these states. 14:14 🧠 Brain's response to altering neurochemistry: Human behavior, including indulging in various activities, stems from a desire to modulate neurochemistry, influencing emotional experiences. 17:39 🧩 Anxiety's link to physiology: Anxiety can often trace back to genetic mutations affecting neurotransmitters like serotonin, emphasizing the importance of addressing physiological roots over coping mechanisms. 19:02 🦈 Catacolamines and anxiety response: Anxiety triggers the release of catacolamines, fight or flight neurotransmitters, showcasing how thoughts influence physiological responses, even when not in a threat situation. 20:24 🧠 Physiological responses to imagined threats mirror real threats due to the same physiological root, triggering a dump of catacolamines into the brain. 21:31 🧬 Genetic mutation (compt CT) can impair catacolamine regulation in about 35% of the population, potentially causing slow breakdown and triggering anxiety. 23:40 🥦 Proper supplementation with B vitamins from natural sources like green leafy veggies and grass-fed meats aids in downregulating catacolamines, impacting anxiety incidence. 24:49 💡 A few key lifestyle factors have significant impacts: sleep control, sunlight exposure, and managing sugar intake/blood glucose levels. 28:01 🍬 Sugar's pervasivepresence in modern foods contributes to various health issues, including mental and psychiatric illnesses, linking to conditions like Alzheimer's and blood sugar disorders. 31:28 🔄 Understanding the trade-offs in everything consumed or avoided, recognizing the impact on physiology, aids in optimizing health. 33:05 💊 The body needs nutrients in refined, usable forms (methylation) from consumed substances, emphasizing the importance of supplementing for deficiencies. 34:01 💡 Most common health conditions might not be purely genetically inherited but potentially due to deficiencies in specific nutrients, impacting methylation processes. 39:18 🌿 Using methylated multivitamins and supplementing for known deficiencies can result in significant health improvements by providing essential raw materials for bodily functions. 41:38 🌟 Nutrient deficiencies like B vitamins can lead to anxiety, gut issues, and sleep problems. 42:20 💡 Addressing chronic conditions often requires understanding individual nutrient processing differences. 43:02 🌞 Vitamin D3 deficiency impacts the immune system, potentially increasing vulnerability to diseases like COVID-19. 44:13 🧬 Genetic testing helps identify essential nutrients the body needs for optimal function. 44:55 🍃 Folic acid, a synthetic compound, isn't naturally occurring and may not be necessary for optimal health. 45:37 💊 While cautious about supplements due to isolated compounds, considering methylated multivitamins might be beneficial. 47:41 🌿 Natural alternatives like berberine might perform as well as metformin for diabetes without significant side effects. 48:09 🛡 Genetic testing helps determine safe supplementation levels for water and fat-soluble vitamins. 51:09 🛌 Establishing a disciplined morning routine and consistent sleep schedule significantly aids in quality sleep. 53:25 🌅 Exposure to morning sunlight within 30 minutes of waking helps regulate circadian rhythms. 54:49 🌬 Adopting specific breathwork routines aids in circadian rhythm control and promotes relaxation at night. 01:00:07 🍽 Adapting eating schedules during travel to align with local time zones is crucial for circadian adjustment. 01:02:10 🌞 Exposure to sunlight early in the day, even in different time zones, helps reset the body clock faster than adjusting eating schedules. 01:03:23 🍽 Prioritizing sun exposure over meal timing for circadian rhythms; digestion diverts blood and oxygen from the brain, affecting energy levels. 01:05:03 🛫 Fasting during domestic flights helps maintain energy levels; diverting oxygen from the brain to digestion during flights can exhaust the body. 01:06:26 🕰 For faster adjustment to new time zones, avoid eating during your normal sleep window in the first 48 hours while also getting sunlight exposure. 01:08:43 🍽 Following intermittent fasting, with eating windows from morning till early afternoon, coupled with sun exposure before eating, can aid in adapting to new time zones. 01:09:48 🧬 Addressing genetic factors, like the CT gene mutation, for anxiety and sleep quality through personalized supplements, potentially regulating catacolamine levels. 01:11:23 📈 Establishing achievable, small, daily goals to build self-trust and discipline forms a foundation for consistency and success. 01:21:43 🧠 Nutrition significantly impacts mental function, memory, and emotional state, influencing the memories we recall and the ones projected into our consciousness. 01:22:10 🧭 Emotional state determines future outcomes; controlling emotions starts with proper raw materials and physiology in the body. 01:23:07 🚀 Mastering emotional control is crucial for steering your future; it begins with the right body physiology to experience the full spectrum of emotions. 01:24:15 🏋‍♂ Prioritize optimizing your biology for energy and persistence in pursuing goals; energy levels depend on cellular capacity to generate energy (ATP). 01:25:26 🧬 The mind's functionality, mood shifts, and hyperactivity disorders relate to the rate of neurotransmitter breakdown, affected by nutrient deficiencies. 01:27:32 🧩 ADHD and ADD might not be attention deficits but rather attention overload disorders, where too many thoughts pile up due to slow breakdown of neurotransmitters. 01:32:06 🦁 Some individuals require high stakes or external pressure to focus, indicating challenges in setting internal priorities or handling equal weight given to all thoughts. 01:34:27 🧠 Cluttered minds might seek external organization (OCD), reflecting an attempt to control chaos internally; clean minds aren't as bothered by external disorder. 01:37:12 🧪 Depression's root cause may tie to nutrient deficiencies affecting neurotransmitter production in the gut-brain axis; mental conditions often stem from physiological imbalances. 01:41:44 🧠 Depression can be linked to nutrient deficiencies like methylation issues. Certain deficiencies in nutrients like SAM-e, B complex, and methylfolate correlate with higher rates of depression. 01:43:19 🍏 Ancestral diets contained nutrients like SAM-e, B complex, and methylfolate found in fruits, cruciferous vegetables, grass-fed meats, fish, chicken, eggs, and dairy. Modern diets lack these nutrients due to processing and use of preservatives. 01:44:58 🍰 High sugar intake contributes to higher blood fat levels and weight gain. Sugar raises insulin levels, inhibiting fatty acid pathway access, leading to fat buildup and potential cardiovascular risks. 01:46:44 🏥 Triglyceride levels affect cholesterol size and risk. Elevated triglycerides with high insulin increase the danger of cholesterol by reducing its size, making it more risky for cardiovascular health. 01:53:09 📊 LDL cholesterol alone doesn't determine cardiovascular risk. Its correlation with triglyceride levels impacts mortality rates. Low triglyceride with slightly elevated LDL is linked to longevity. 01:57:43 🎲 Using statistical models to predict life expectancy isn't a definitive forecast. It's a statistical proxy based on risk factors and population data, providing insights but not individual certainties.

Wonderful video and wonderful guest. I quit smoking marijuana and drinking here in Vegas which wasn’t just a daily thing, but a 8am-9pm thing for me. I actually became a born again believer here in Vegas, and through the struggles with my addictions, I was able to to overcome those issues, and am bringing a product to market early next year which is in manufacturing now. I write provisional patent applications almost weekly. Thank you for the insights and encouragement. I hope and pray many other people break those cycles because there is so much more life waiting for them. God Bless you both fully.

Out of all "Holistic Medicine" Gary Brecka has got to be ranked number 1. Man doesn't have time for a KZfaq channel for a reason. He gets straight to the root of everything.

Two books that I liked are: 30 Days to Sobriety by Harper Daniels and The Easy Way to Stop by Allen Carr. Even if not in an addiction, they're both enlightening reads with good mindfulness stuff.

Tom let the guy speak! It's like you're battling for the stage... the amount of information lost because you never let Gary land lowers the potency of this conversation.

I quit drinking two years ago February 11th. Best thing I’ve ever done for my mental and physical and emotional health. Just wish I’d done it sooner.

Tom, I so respect your self disclosure. Your foundation is unshakable!

Finally a health video it’s been like 4 mo since the last solid one; miss them, thanks Tom, great episode, more health🙏🙌!

Gary gained a fan, Tom was obnoxious and self-absorbed. Tom actually made it difficult to get through the podcast but Gary handled him like a champ.

Gary is so patient at this point I would have walked out 😮‍💨 2:42:44

I'm already only a 1/2 an hour in and this is one of the most incredible talks I've heard in months. So much relateable and good information in here

We need to protect this man with all cost, the way he explain is just unbelievable, amazing ability to express knowledge. I wish there is more ppl in our educational system having same as this man. Everything he said have perfect logic and background his understanding of human biology and body metabolism is better then all the doctors together from my country.

Outstanding interview, Tom. Solid information. Thank you both.

Tom seems very resistant to understand why synthetic mRNA is problematic. Im guessing he got the jab.

Its that not complicated. Eat clean, get in your vitamins, workout. Eat what you want once in a while. Most importantly live your life! No wonder most people say screw it.

Solid message!

I am a weed every day kinda guy. But i did no-november and cut out any vices. Weed, alcohol (I wasnt drinking much anyway, but didnt want to transfer my time to that), and deleted everything but youtube and Messenger from my phone. Its a crazy experiment, and i recommend everyone try it with some introspection. ....besides, theres always do-do-December.

Tom, thank you again for sharing another great interview and helping me create my user manual for my 1979 Human Being.

This is lifechanging information. Thank you so much!

Awesome patience with Gary B. so patient in explanation

Audio levels are too low. Please amplify and use a compressor to limit the ultra loud "laughing into the mic" Segments. Absolute awesome content !!!

So much great information to take in ❤

Thanks Tom, great stuff

He spoke so accurately about ADHD; I've never heard anyone describe it in this way. This guy is the real deal.

Finally a helpful episode again.

Love this episode, thank you for this 👏

Very good episode. Ty 👍🏻

Regarding the fight or flight response, the third F - freeze response - is almost always left out of this paradigm as it was not part of the model originally. Some individuals neither run away nor fight but instead freeze in terror or shock and become ineffective altogether.

Alcohol and drugs are short term solution that just make you feel worse down the line. Exercise, fasting and mostly whole and variety of food works best for me, and sometimes it’s okay to have a treat.

I'm enjoying this information and this interview. For future recordings, the volume of the ads is much louder than the interview itself.

Please please please do the follow up episode after the tests. I can’t wait!!!!

Feedback: Sound is little low compared to other YT videos. Great episode!

I'm only 45 minutes in and you may have solved why I've been too sick to even work for almost a year now while having six different doctors looking for possible root causes. I've had countless urine and blood tests and they show that I'm super healthy yet I have chronic sleep loss, anxiety, gut issues, and polyuria. Sleeping only 4 hours a night and puking bile every morning while having irritable bowel syndrome has completely destroyed my productivity. I will be ordering methyl folate supplements immediately.

Amazing episode full of eye opening knowledge.

Insightful stuff 👍

Such a great show and an awesome guest that I have been all over lately. I just wish someone that cared about. Tom will talk to him about wearing his hat on backwards. It’s just so hard to take a grown man seriously when he wears a baseball cap backwards. Mind blowing. Anyway I’m still watching the show, and this particular episode was amazing.

just gave me a business idea: sugary alcohol flavored weed....

There are countless ways to tweak and improve different aspects of your life. What I do is zero in on the top 5 elements that really drive results in any given area. I focus on nailing those down perfectly. After that, I don't sweat the small stuff; chasing minor improvements is like running after your own shadow. Instead, I shift gears to tackle the next big thing, applying the same principle: mastering the most impactful 5 factors.

I'm doing all the free stuff, revolutionary content as always! Thank you!

My addiction is Impact Theory interviews...it's a good addiction!

Thank you Tom for the questions you ask.

This show was amazing thankyou!!!!

Thx for the content! Regarding 1:10:09 are the links to the studies available?

Quality content and conversation as usual, thank you both!

CAN YOU PLEASE GET DR. JACK KRUZE ON!! I FEEL LIKE ALL THESE GUYS YOU HAVE ON TIP TOE AROUND WHAT HE SAYS IN DEPTH. I LIKE HEARING ALL THESE GUYS ITS LIKE PUTTING A PUZZLE TOGETHER. YOUR DOING GREAT TOM THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOURE DOING!! I WATCH YOU ALL DAY AT WORK

Most people who ‘just can’t get themselves to do it’ have a core value of COMFORT. If you don’t desire something MORE THAN you desire comfort, truly at your core, you ‘just won’t do it’.

Good job asking questions.

I'm pretty sure I've woken up from multiple dreams laughing not, full throttle gut laugh but chuckling.

2 of my favorite addictions! Tom and Gary! Love you did this together! Tom please do a follow up to this when you get your results and take some actions. My youngest daughter did the gene swab with Gary and in about 2 months of appropriate supllementing we have seen amazing results already! I share you btoh ALL THE TIME!, love what you both bring to the world! ❤

Awesome podcast :) Many thanks fellas.

This guy GETS IT! Learning a lot listening to him and completely agree.

I love this show. Shows how the FDA and medical community is so far off course

One of the best episodes yet!!

This podcast is one hell of a rollercoaster 🤯

OMG this explains why I gained so much weight on my trip to South Africa. Thank you! Super helpful!

Great guest, great information, once again, Tom gets in the way,

With the weed it's everything in moderation, people forget it's a sacred plant with a lightness (CBD) and darkness (THC) to it, it has to be respected not abused

Everything is about balance and moderation, including behaviours for drugs/shrooms, drinking, etc and that includes addictions, whether within healthy means or extreme measures towards exercise and diet.

I love watching this but I don’t have so much time available. Would you guys give us a list of topics of what it’s going to be covered on your sections?

Love this convo - and for the record, I’ve woken up laughing *dozens* of times ☀️

Is it just me, or does Tom just have guests on for his own personal therapy-to listen to him rant for 90% of the show and then give him validating yes or no answers, because that’s all there’s really time for?

Hands down probably one of the best interviews to date @tombilyeu… So grateful for this information…. Can’t wait for the follow up 🙌🏽

The part about light not being prime conditioner of sleepcycle makes me want to see Huberman sit and discuss with this guy. How has this form of podcast-debate not formed yet?

Fantastic episode, I would love to hear you guys bring epigenetics into the discussion.

Nothing helped my lifelong anxiety more than healing my gut, quitting ultra processed foods + most grains, and getting more sleep. Testing my blood sugar daily was a game changer, as well. I had no idea how insulin resistant I truly was. I've been a batefoot weirdo my whole life, so that wasn't what was missing. I've believed I have MTHFR for many years, but haven't ever done the expensive testing to comfirm. Being a redhead, I already know I def have odd genetics. 😅 Unfortunately, folic acid is in nearly everything that comes from a package. I think this contributes to the huge change people experience when they cut ultra processed foods. Not only are they avoiding the seed oils, sugars, and soy, but they're no longer constantly taking in folic acid.

Can’t get enough of this info!

Got the same info from one hour interview on the Dan Bongino Show, probably because Dan wasn't constantly interrupting Gary to talk about himself the whole time.

Thank you for giving Gary such a long interview. I’m not familiar with you Tom, but I was a bit surprised at your confusion around the negative effects of GMO foods and farming. I’m looking forward to seeing a follow up with your test results and any improvements you have after Gary’s recommendations.

He is very knowledgeable. I have been down this road of MTHFR and comp gene mutations. My son has both genes and epilepsy and my husband and I are helping him more than his neurologist . Hoping to get him off meds

Weed is horrible for an entrepreneur! If your clocking in on a 9-5 or if you are retired maybe you can get by with that crap. Your business and motivation will go down in flames if your on weed Delta 8 whatever you want to call it.

I have a good understanding of this topic and I love what he says. He knows…

Couldn’t find the links in video description Gary mentioned. Would be interested a I’ve COMT gene.

Watching from Minneapolis

I would seriously recommend 10x health. I'm 56 and I saw Gary on Rogan and his advice and supplement recommendations have changed my health for the better. Gary basically saved Dana White's life and has probably added ten years to my life. Listen and learn,Gary really knows what your doctors don't.

Very interesting! Thanks. I'm still missing nr 3 thing: how to lower the SHBG?

I don’t understand why the comment section is always hating on Tom, I appreciate your input and interview style, thanks for all these podcasts!

Great information but I can't keep adjusting the volume because of loud ads!!!

Could somebody post their biggest takeaways from this? I'd love to know!

Tom why are you having a guest if you're doing most of the talking? Let him speak

I have def woke up laughing..belly laughing..from a deep sleep💯

you should talk specific about refined sugar. go on a fruit diet for 2-3 weeks, it feels like having some of the fasting effects like being motivated as hell while being super strong.

box hold breathing . in yoga we call it square breath . Gary in my teacher training with Denise Payne Yoga , In one month, I got up to 10 second square breath . The caution is not jack up your nervous system too much , so best to train under a good teacher first .

This guy changed my life!!! I tried L-Methylfolate after this guy recommended everyone at least try it. All of my symptoms disappeared THAT DAY!!!! I could not believe how deficient I must have been!

I can agree about sugar and alcohol, but after discovering weed at the age of 40 I found that I enjoy my life a lot more.Since I was never happy before it makes it pretty important to me. I have more patients with people, I actually achieve more I am far more creative at problem solving and have a longer attention span to finish projects. Weed might not be for everyone but If you never tried it you have no right to dis it. I have experimentally quit it for months on end several times to compare life's benefits with or without it. I love it and I will be a closet stoner for life.

Great video! Tom, you drank the cool-aid about some of the original intention behind GMO's. Lots of other issues with the GMO's. One of them is that several major ones (corn, soy, canola, sugar beets) were made to be "Roundup-Ready" (parts of dna from a naturally roundup-resistant weed incorporated into the dna of the "food"), and therefore those crops get soaked with glyphosate. There's a lot more that's bad. Still a great video.

Spot on Gary!👍😁

Why do you have intelligent people on and make the show all about you? Let them talk. We do not care what you think. My suggestion would be to go for lunch first and tell him about your problems and then have the interview. That is what Joe Rogen does. To prove my point, just record your next doctors appointment and see how many people watch it. I feel so bad for Gary, All the ting he wanted to say and you didn't let him talk. I care about you just as much as you care about me.

alcohol certainly can be but a glass of wine or beer with dinner is not, weed, same thing, in fact of the 3 weed is by far the least problem, sugar now that can be a bad. But like everything, in moderation all 3 are not a problem for most people.

On the topic of Flouride in tap water, is the damage permanent? Or does it dissipate if you stop exposure?

We scheduled our gene testing locally here in Friendswood TX with our chiropractor.Cost is $325. Shop around, you can save a couple hundred dollars!!

Life is to be lived, you are here to experience the contrast of this reality not to obsess over your vehicle that is designed to fail. Moderation is the key to everything

Firstly, I thank you for your time and energy. I'm an active 66 male, lean, strong (abnormally for my age). I have contracted Demodex mites from a ranch hand house, I feel physically exhausted, mentally ambitious.. it's my feeling I'm becoming immune deficient.. any suggestions? I do smoke weed, now more than ever as this infestation is unbearable

Great Show

sitting down with my bong and coffee to check this out

T, stop interrupting Gary. Your cutting off important info that we would like to hear. It's not all about you. Give your guest the stage. Your not the center of the universe.
