But who is Gary Brecka, and how did he help change Dana White completely? Well, let’s find out about him and Dana White’s transformation journey.

How Dana White went through a major health transformation

Just a year or two ago, Dana White used social media to show off the transformation he had undergone in the last six years. The entrepreneur published “before and after” records showing off his fitness in March 2017 and then in September 2023, showing a major body change. With a “fighter’s” physique, White also celebrated the improvement in his quality of life because of the process.

The process began in 2022 when White consulted with a health professional. Gary Brecka, who presents himself as a “bio-hacker” and researcher, estimated that the UFC boss would only have 10 more years to live if he maintained his unhealthy habits. The appointment turned into a warning sign for Dana White, who radically changed his eating and exercise routine. He went through a complete ‘food re-education‘ process. Fast forward a few years and Dana White claims that Brecka completely changed his life.

According to the head honcho, the human biologist changed the way he felt overall about health. “I had been consulting with other doctors for 10 years, and none of them could fix things that way. I discovered things I didn’t even know I had,” said Dana in a video that also showed the results of blood tests after treatment. What do you think of Dana White’s life transformation?
