  • Can’t afford

    I love all the info you provide on your podcasts!! However, we have no money to spend on all the things you suggest. Blood tests, supplements, hyperbaric, saunas etc. We don’t even have enough money to get good quality food every month. We have dropped all processed foods and I make a lot from scratch. Fresh milled einkorn sourdough bread, raw milk, yogurt made from the raw milk, raw cheese, grass fed beef. Hopefully I will get bits and pieces of info to help us through our senior years. Thanks... more

  • Skin episode contradicting info

    Expert one, use retinol 1-2x a week for optimal skin! Expert two, retinol is ruining your skin barrier & you co-sign “borrowing from your skin’s future”… even though you already co-signed the first expert’s retinol recommendation??? Make it make sense Gary. Have a backbone with York guests and don’t ride the fence, it comes off extremely disingenuous

  • Craft Microbiome

    I listen to Gary a lot. I am very disappointed he would platform someone fraudulent. After paying $500 for a stool test and my father-in-law paying another $500 for his, we have never heard back from craft after months. We’ve reached out to their customer service email, called, and even texted and nothing. Such a waste of time and money.

  • MAGA Centric

    Thought the podcast sounded interesting only to find it’s MAHA and MAGA centric political references are a huge turnoff.

  • 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.
