Gary Brecka’s Approved Food List

Bio-hacker and Human Biologist Gary Brecka is known for helping celebrities overcome illnesses, improve their health and extend their life span. Diet is hugely important – but what does Gary Brecka eat and what foods does he recommend?

Gary Brecka recommends breath work, fasting and cold-water exposure to improve our overall health and wellbeing but the food that we put into our bodies is probably the most important aspect when we come to improve our overall bodily functions.

What does Gary Brecka eat?

Gary Brecka highly recommends eating a whole food diet. Here are some quotes from the man himself:

“Get as close to the soil as possible. The further we get from the soil, the worse the food gets. The problem is not actually the food – it’s what happens between where the food is harvested and how it makes it to the table.”

“I eat very little vegetables. I eat asparagus, brussels sprouts, heads of broccoli and arugula. Those are my go-to. Lots of avocado but that’s technically a fruit.”

“I’m big on healthy fats so I always have half an avocado with breakfast, and I have the other half for lunch."

“Fruits are fine. I prefer fruits that end in ‘berry’.”

“I eat a lot of organic berries. Fruits that end in ‘berries’ are lowest on the glycemic index. So, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry. They’re super high in flavonoids which are excellent for your arterial health.”

“Eggs, avocado, blueberries is a typical go-to breakfast for me.”

“The most important thing about eggs is not actually that they’re organic it’s if they’re pasture-raised.”

Free Range Chickens

“If chickens are cage-free it means they’re out of their cage and they could be eating a bunch of s#it. If they’re organic is just means that they’re generally free of antibiotics and hormones. But when they’re pasture raised that means they’re out of the cage, out in the fields eating bugs, worms grass, all the things that chickens are meant to eat.”

“Sometimes I’ll take some arugula and olive oil. I eat a lot of grass-fed beef, I eat a lot of line-caught salmon. I eat a lot of free-range pasture-raised eggs. These things are great for you.”

“You need four oils in your life. A coconut oil for cooking, a ghee butter, grass-fed butter or tallow. You need an olive oil and an avocado oil at room temperature. That’s all you need. So four to cook and two to use for salads and dressings.”

“If it’s a palm oil, a sunflower oil, a safflower oil, guys, these are rancid, toxic, inflammatory, neuroinhibitory chemicals that we’re putting int our bodies.”

What does Gary Brecka drink?

Gary Brecka drinks hydrogen water rather than normal water or alkaline water due to its potential health benefits. Hydrogen water is regular water with excess hydrogen added to it. Talking about this type of water, Gary says:

"One of the things I tell people to get out of their lives, besides GMO food, is tap water. Today should be the day that you never drink tap water again."

“Hydrogen water is, in my opinion, the most beneficial type of water you can drink.”

“The big takeaway from this is – if you want to be putting the best water in your body, period, full stop, end of story – it should be hydrogenated water. Water with excess hydrogen to feed gut flora, for bacteria, for inflammation, for its oxidative reduction potential, for your brain.”

“There are all kinds of peer-reviewed, published clinical studies on the benefits of hydrogen water including reduced inflammation, better absorption of your supplements, better absorption of your foods, better balance of stomach acid, and it feeds an entire class of bacteria in your gut.”
