  • Talking too Much

    I really enjoy this show and listen regularly; I’m so thankful for Gary Brecka and the information he shares. I have 4 stars because often times Gary talks too much vs simply asking his most intriguing guests basic questions and then allowing them to talk.

  • Such a con

    Yeah! How does glyphosate fall in the realm of MAHA or are you sniffing cocaine with your hero? Your silence is deafening. Effin hypocrisy.

  • Fix Audio Levels

    I love Gary Brecka’s podcasts, but it’s really frustrating to listen to when he is significantly louder than his guests are. Either up the guests mic’s to match the decibel levels to Gary’s, or fix it in post-processing. It’s a simple fix that would make a world of difference for listeners.

268. What Is Glutathione? Here Are the Uses, Benefits & Science
Q: Question number three, why is glutathione called the master antioxidant?

268. What Is Glutathione? Here Are the Uses, Benefits & Science
Q: Question number two, what does glutathione actually do for your body?
It detoxifies the liver by binding heavy metals and toxins, recycles other antioxidants like vitamin C and E, powers the immune system, protects mitochondria, and supports skin, sleep, brain function, and athletic performance.
268. What Is Glutathione? Here Are the Uses, Benefits & Science
Q: Question number one, what is glutathione?
Glutathione is a tripeptide made of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine; it is produced by the liver, found in every cell, and acts as the master antioxidant that supports detox, immune function, and energy production.
264. Madison Brecka: On Mold Illness, POTS, Endocrine Disruptors, & The Toxic Load Crisis
Q: What sparked the shift from pursuing traditional medical pathways to focusing on toxin-free living?
Aconscious awareness of how environmental toxins and mold were driving her symptoms pushed Maddie to prioritize self-care, environmental audits, and testing to identify the root cause, leading to a shift toward holistic health optimization.
