What if I told you life insurance companies can predict, almost to the month, when you’re going to die? That’s exactly what Gary Brecka, a human biologist and former mortality expert, used to do—until he uncovered something shocking. After years of analyzing blood work and medical records, he realized that the biggest predictors of disease and early death aren’t genetic—they’re modifiable. Now, he’s using that knowledge to help people optimize their health and extend their lifespan. In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, we discuss: How insurance companies use hidden health data to predict life expectancy with stunning accuracy. The biggest factors that shorten lifespan—and why most of them are within our control. Why vitamin deficiencies, especially vitamin D, are quietly fueling chronic disease. How the right biohacking tools, like red light therapy and oxygen optimization, can reverse aging. What you can do today to take control of your health and longevity. This conversation will change the way you think about your own health.

- I’ve been following Mark for about 10 years and Gary for about 2. Two of the best in my opinion. At 47 I was a mess, 80 lbs overweight and chronic inflammation causing all kinds of issues. I’m now 57 at ideal weight with visible abs, I look better than most 20-30 year olds these days, mostly from eating the correct foods and not much exercise (just lots of walking can can do wonders) And more recently watching Gary for biohacking tricks that are free and they work. I will soon be joining Function Health to really get a handle on my metabolic health. Thanks Gary and Mark
- morning light, grounding, nosebreathing; These are the overlooked factors contributing to disease. Kudos to Gary for bringing this to light. A very good book is “Why are you sick How to reclaim your health with the ultimatehealthmodel ” . It pulls all these factors together and more to attain optimal health.
- Great informative discussion. I find it a bit saddening that this society we live in had a greater motivation to find the reasons why people get sick and die to have emerged from financial motivation as opposed to the desire to help fellow human beings! Let’s hope these immature attitudes will be left behind us in the near future.
- Interesting to see how the life insurance works out there, it’s nothing like that over here in the uk thankfully and I’ve never heard of anyone needing to give away that level of info and data, many of which don’t have it to give anyway, just routine bloods from previous docs. visits. I’d also be querying where and what is gathered and where that data is ending up and I don’t trust large companies to protect and not share it to make big money, which is likely the real reason they never suffer during any economic crisis
