• 274. Dr. Courtney Conley: Dementia, 4,000 Steps, Big Toe & The 6th Vital Sign 02.06.2026 1h

  I sat down with Dr. Courtney Conley and what she told me stopped me cold…your walking speed can predict dementia up to seven years before the first cognitive symptom appears, which is why scientists are arguing it should be added to blood pressure and temperature as the sixth vital sign. We got into the mechanism behind it: BDNF, hippocampal neurogenesis, and why 4,000 steps a day can cut dementia risk by roughly 50% and I walked away convinced this is the most under-prescribed medicine of the 21st century.

• 273. Anthony Geisler: UFC, Pilates, $8T Longevity & ULC 28.05.2026 40m

  You wouldn't look at Anthony Geisler today and guess he was 145 pounds at six feet tall, a burned-out kid working too hard, eating too little, and sleeping less. Then a doctor gave him three pieces of advice, and Anthony drove home and joined a boxing gym that same day. That moment is where this episode starts, and it's why he and I ended up partners in the Ultimate Longevity Centers two decades later.

• 272. Garry Lineham "Human Garage": Fascia, Stored Trauma, C-Sections & Leann Rimes Release 26.05.2026 56m

  You're stretching wrong, and I didn't believe it either until Garry Lineham put his hands on me and corrected a decades-old flat arch, a torn bicep tendon limitation, and my hip rotation in 5 minutes! In this episode, the founder of Human Garage walks me through why every time you stretch a muscle your nervous system dumps adrenaline for four hours, how he reverse-engineered the answer in 17 months of solitary confinement after $2.5 million and 300 practitioners couldn't fix him, and why fascia, not your brain, is where your body actually stores trauma.

• 271. Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos: On Screen Harms in Kids & the Surgeon General's New Advisory 21.05.2026 43m

  Since 2010, math scores in 13-year-olds have dropped 14%, reading has dropped 7%, and by 2050, 40% of kids are projected to have myopia and the Surgeon General's office just connected that curve to the screen in your child's hand. Today, I sat down with Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Health at HHS, to walk through the new advisory on screen harms, the 5-D framework parents can use today, and what bell-to-bell phone policies are actually doing in 37 states.

• 270. Dr. Tania Dempsey: Mast Cells, Chronic Fatigue, & Hidden Inflammation 19.05.2026 1h 7m

  Up to 1 in 5 people may have this condition and never know it and the diagnoses they've been handed instead, from PCOS to IBS to chronic fatigue, may all be pointing at the same hidden cause. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tania Dempsey, Johns Hopkins-trained internist and one of the leading researchers on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, who tells me that 100% of her PCOS patients test positive for MCAS, and walks me through why mast cells may be the most overlooked driver of chronic illness in modern medicine. If you've been told your symptoms are idiopathic, or that nothing's wrong even though everything feels wrong, this is the conversation that finally connects the dots.

  The most powerful business tool in the world isn’t capital, technology, or talent, it’s a relationship. David Grutman built one of the most dominant hospitality empires in America not by outspending competitors, but by outrelating them. In this episode, he breaks down the relationship-first philosophy that took him from the back of the house at Tantra on South Beach to partnering with Live Nation’s Michael Rapino and building some of the highest-grossing restaurants per square foot in the country.

  One year in, and the MAHA movement has already flipped the food pyramid, removed red dyes, initiated SNAP reform, and is now pushing hospitals to stop serving diabetic patients sugary drinks, but most Americans have no idea how much has changed. I brought Kyle Diamantas and Calley Means back to The Ultimate Human Podcast to give you a real, unfiltered look at what’s happening inside the FDA and HHS right now, what the wins actually look like from inside the building, and why this is a 10-year generational movement, not a one-year miracle.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARY'S VIP!: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Get Calley & Casey Means’s book, “Good Energy”:  https://bit.ly/4sp5xQZ  Connect with Calley Means Website: https://bit.ly/4cv4Fp4  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4ebYebH  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4bYb7Vs  TikTok: https://bit.ly/4tEsaSw  X: https://bit.ly/4cyxQYg  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4vk0QdS  Connect with Kyle Diamantas Website: https://bit.ly/4cxBUIj  X: https://bit.ly/41TyGJ1  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4dCn703  Thank you to our partners A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij  AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD  AIRES: "ULTIMATE20 " FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/4a3Duze  BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa  BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV  COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKp  CYMBIOTIKA: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4tjyluP   GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): https://bit.ly/48QJJrk  GENETIC TEST (USA ONLY): ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9  GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC  H2TABS: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg  HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S  PEPTUAL: “TUH10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4mKxgcn  SNOOZE: LET’S GET TO SLEEP!: https://bit.ly/4pt1T6V  WHOOP: JOIN & GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW  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 05:07 Kyle Diamantas’ Role in FDA (and Pillars) 12:49 Shifting the Generational Challenges 17:17 Big Wins from the MAHA Movement 25:05 GRAS Reform Guidelines: Definition and Impact 36:58 More Accomplishments from the MAHA Movement 43:10 Operation Stork Speed Initiatives 51:09 Media vs. Trump and Kennedy 55:51 How Can People Support the MAHA Movement?

• 255. Bryony Deery: On Postpartum Recovery, Hormone Crashes, Birth Preparation & Pregnancy Fitness 24.03.2026 1h 7m

  The moment you become a mother, a version of you emerges that you’ve never met before, and she’s more powerful, more sensitive, and more focused than anyone you’ve ever been. Today, I’m with Bryony Deery for the second time to explore what really happens to a woman’s identity, priorities, and emotional range after birth, including the surprising neuroscience behind why mothers seem to “just know” what their baby needs before anyone else does. Bryony also gets brutally honest about the bounce-back pressure, the intrusive thoughts no one talks about, and why giving yourself grace isn’t weakness, it’s biology.
