Got my gene and blood test through 10X a month ago. Life changing information. It’s not about hating on modern medicine, it’s about getting information. Get the data. Know what’s going on with your body.
Great interview and congratulations Stephen! As a physician, I would tell Gary to not beat himself up for not being able to spread the word on diet health sooner. In too many instances, patient education will not matter. Everybody knows smoking is bad for your health, but have people stopped smoking? I tell about 90% of my patients to improve their diet with keto after giving them education on food and diet (even give handouts), and after 6 years of doing this if at least 5% of my patients followed my advice I'd be shocked. In fact, even the majority of my staff who have heard me harp about this for years and see me discuss the importance of keto diets and watch me go over the handouts with patients won't even follow the diet. People don't want to give up their rice, their pasta, their bread, their doughnuts and bagels, their soda and fruit juice. I've had family members in literal, terminal health crises that I urge to go keto and you would think that even if there was a 1% chance it would save their life that that they would take a doctor's advice from the family and do it, but no. Gotta have those potatoes. I congratulate all of you who successfully pull yourselves out of the high carb trap and improve your health... for free.
Just had back to back strokes this week. As I’m in Atl hospital at age41. This gives me hope. A new level of respect for you SAS. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration.
This discussion blessed me as I am not sick nor do I take medication; however; I haven’t felt energized since I got Covid. Thank you Stephen and Gary for this needed conversation.
This is the podcast that we need. I appreciate you Stephen A giving guys like Gary Brecka the opportunity to explain how to better our health. Imma definitely follow the advice given. God bless you 🙏🏽✨️
Stephen A. Thank you so much for making this interview happen! I'm a huge fan of Gary's work and I'm a biohacker as well. The information is necessary. Also, as a writer and journalist, loved your book Straight Shooter. I wrote a book in the same style as you write, A Spontaneous Life.
I appreciate what you're saying, and I live by that motto@@desordenpublico but when it comes to health and longevity, and the fact that not everyone has money to waste like Stephen A Smith and Dana White, it can impact a persons life. Here's another way to look at it. If we were just some run of mill influencer on social media, it wouldn't be a big deal because every gym and every social media app is flooded with this stuff. Gary differs in that he presents himself as an expert whose opinions (and that's what they are because he has no medical or scientific training) are not just opinions, they they're fact. He tosses around some words and phrases he memorized and has a basic understanding of a lot of basic health topics and comes off as someone whose advice should trump the advice of the real experts. In fact "Trump" is the perfect comparison, he's the Trump of health influencers.
I am on defense. Listening to him is good. He knows way way way more than I do. But on the other hand. He could just be blowing smoke, but not saying he is or not.
it makes me so happy to see SAS spreading his wings, expanding & owning his platform. I've following SAS since The Best Damn Sports show so I've seen his ups and downs and am very happy for him. keep going!
Hands down one of the best interviews SAS has done to date, I forwarded this interview to more than 15 of my close friends and family members very insightful.
Hands down one of the best interviews you have every done! I have never heard Stephen A be so quiet LOL. Powerful information! I have been on getting my health back on track. Started at 230 pounds and I'm at 197 pounds in 3 months! I did this by eating a whole foods diet, drinking nothing but water and whole milk, intermittent fasting and exercise. Gary validated a lot of the things I know and I learned a few things from this interview. Health is the most important thing in life! Thank you for this interview Stephen, congrats on your transformation, you looked great brother!
THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR STEPHEN, FOR THIS EXCELLENT INFO AND INTERVIEW ! Im about to turn 70, on my Walking Pad -working on losing obesity - while enjoying your podcast ! God's continued best health to you always !
Started my weight loss journey the start of March and I’m down 15 pounds already. It’s die young or live a fruitful life at this point. No other options. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love love! This is what social media should be. Please follow up with an episode that shows the regular person how to do this. I don’t think my health insurance pays for this and I can’t afford a special bed.
Great podcast. Great testimony. 49 years old and have been incorporating much of these wellness approaches the last 5 years and it’s been a game changer. Comfort is the enemy.
Great interview an information on body maintenances. Thanks so much! No space for all the super cool equipments!😊 I hit the sea side in the mornings and walk 3 days by week. Gym out at home or by the sea side the rest of the week. Eat fresh earth foods dayly ect. Going into my 3rd lifetime! Rocking, smiling and grateful 😅❤ Peace!
"aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort" nothing but facts. Great episode Stephen A. For Gary to admit his mistakes from past research posted is something that most won't do. Loved this episode.
OMG every video I watch with Gary I hear something that applies to me. 50-30 years ago when salt and fat were bad, I consumed minimal amounts AND had migraine headaches. sometimes for days, all I could do was lie in a dark room and wish for death. Id be throwing up and getting dehydrated making matters worse. I also had "RA"! I looked into paleo and other low carb diets, brought back the salt and fat. No more headaches. In fact, almost never sick at all. Following the conventional food guide and conventional medicine nearly killed me several times. If the side effect of barefoot walking and swimming with my dog at sunrise is being extatically happy to be alive, Im okay with that! thank you Gary for all that you do. As well, I think you look very fit and healthy which gives you more credibility in my books.
Stephen A, thank you for this interview. Your best. First time I’ve heard of Gary Brecka and his work. Glad he “put it where the goats can get it” so I can succeed too without the expensive hardware. I have my before pics. Now it’s time to get with my Doc and begin the work for my after pics.
Extremely informative Steven A... This episode has reinforced continuing some of the fitness and wellbeing practices that I currently observe... while adding new information to persuade me to correct some areas that may be lacking. Always more to learn, always more to reflect on .... thank you for the great content
Love the callout that you can do all these things for free. Amen. I do a version of this practice every morning, I do have a cold plunge but everything else I do with sunlight, breathwork, and RUNNING like a madman a few times a week on the treadmill.
I get up before the sun everyday to see it rise over the water and walk barefoot on the beach. My dog runs all around, then we swim. it is definitely the best way to start the day! cheers from Canada, the water is always cold!
Stephen A Smith thank you for sharing this. Most celebrities when they are asked about their health, they dismissively say oh I just go for a walk every day bs explanation. You are actually sharing information and being honest about the lifestyle changes that helped you reach your health goals.
This is well needed remember doctors are taught to treat you not heal you we can heal ourselves with the right foods and right information if you guys are going through severe health problems start fasting fasting resets the body gives your organs rest
🤔 After viewing this interview & watching that bs town hall Oprah did is very enlightening. This was a great session SA. I'm in the process of reprogramming myself & this was great information I needed for me. Thanks 👊🏾🫡 👑
as a qualified doctor I can personally vouch of Gary's knowledge is cutting edge and is more in line with what medicine should be and how practitioners should treat patients, treating patients more holistically, The issue is most doctors do not update their basic knowledge on an ongoing basis and therefore often the advise is outdated. More doctors need to show initiative and treat the individual rather than treating symptoms and masking disease.
Gary, you are so right about panic attacks. My brother had severe panic attacks; his Psychiatrist made him into a zombie giving him all kind of psych meds. His Internist saved him; he tested his blood twice and found he had Pernicious Anemia. All he needed was B12 shots every month and my brother never got another panic attack again. After a few years he got cancer and died 2 years after his diagnosis. I wonder if those drugs gave him the cancer. One of them was risperadol!
Great interview, great guest. I’m 60 and in good shape but plenty of things to improve upon. The D3 info was interesting, I just got lab results back and PCP put me on prescription strength D3.
SAS...you should have Dr. David Sinclair on one of your shows. He's an anti-aging doc and what he discusses is fascinating and more people should hear about him. Perfect compliment to your new healthy lifestyle.
I've been watching First Take for years, Stephen A. This interview has confirmed much of what I've learned over the last 5 years. Many folks didn't believe me. Thanks, Gary! Honestly, you owe Kyrie Irving a HUGE public, First Take apology after this...and you know why!
@@jophielortiz Because he crushed Kyrie for making certain personal health decisions, and now he's literally following the blueprint. I'm 1,000% sure that Stephen A's trainer made the exact same decision as Kyrie. I did, as well, and have had the same lifestyle for approximately 7 yrs. Basically, he's teaching the late Dr. Sebi's and Clint Ober's lifestyles. Another source of mine is Dr. Bobby Price, along with my 23+ years in the Air Force in the long and short range radio/satellite communications career field. Understanding how food and environmental factors affect the body, can prolong our lives. Kyrie knows some things about that, but chose not to divulge them because many people that don't subscribe to healthy lifestyles like this, reject and criticize certain decisions people make without trying to understand why they make them. Not once did Stephen A say that he tried to talk to Kyrie during that time, to understand why he made the specific health decision that caused him not to play home games during the national health crisis. He didn't criticize LBJ for the same decision because LBJ wasn't forced to in LA.
My great grand mother is 137 years old. She walks and goes to the farm everyday by herself. She will agree with him on most things minus the equipments. All she done is eat green and healthy and kept a positive outlook on life. Sounds simple but it’s not easy

Should we do Keto all year long or just for a few months a year
Wow!
Thanks SAS. Please do a health and wellness episode at least once every 3 months. This will motivate a lot of people to prioritize their health!
Just had back to back strokes this week. As I’m in Atl hospital at age41. This gives me hope. A new level of respect for you SAS. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration.
BEST EPISODE OF THE SAS SHOW YET! GREAT GREAT GREAT EPISODE!
This discussion blessed me as I am not sick nor do I take medication; however; I haven’t felt energized since I got Covid. Thank you Stephen and Gary for this needed conversation.
It is very sad that this video isn’t trending on all platforms.
I was thinking the same thing
It should be at 1 million views minimum
Great show. Bring Gary back for part 2.
This is the podcast that we need. I appreciate you Stephen A giving guys like Gary Brecka the opportunity to explain how to better our health. Imma definitely follow the advice given. God bless you 🙏🏽✨️

We have a disease care system not a health care system. I’m a emergency room pharmacist and Gary Breckka is absolutely right
This interview should have more views!
Best podcast to date

First SAS video I ever listened to.
Very informative. Increase your purpose, shrink your problems.
