UFC CEO Dana White has recently talked about his health journey, revealing significant changes to his once-strict wellness regimen. During his appearance on BigBoyTV, White opened up about regaining 25 pounds after three years of hardcore adherence to the Gary Brecka diet protocol.
White addressed his weight fluctuation: “I put some weight back on over the summer.” He went on to share an amusing exchange with President Trump, noting: “I was with the President last night and I don’t know if I told you this before, but he hated when I lost weight. Like every time I see him, he say, ‘You look like s**t, man.'”
The UFC boss continued: “He’s like, ‘You got to put the weight back on, man. You look terrible.’ He goes, ‘All these guys that I know, friends of mine, they lose all this weight and they look weird.’ So I see him last night and I put like 25 lbs (11.3 kg) back on. He’s like, ‘Yes, you look great. Stop losing weight. Stay right here.'”
White credited health optimization expert Gary Brecka with transforming his life. “I keep working out and doing all that stuff, but I was like, for three years I was hardcore. I didn’t cheat. I didn’t do anything. I did everything the way Gary Brecka told me to do it,” White explained.
The results were dramatic. “I got down to like 191 lbs (86.6 lbs),” White revealed, explaining the complete lifestyle overhaul. “I went to all these doctors and I was on all these pills, you know, for blood pressure and thyroid and f**king cholesterol, and you name it. And no doctor could ever fix anything. They just kept throwing pills at me. I’m on no pills. I take supplements.”
White emphasized the lasting impact: “So, even though I gain some weight, I feel great. My blood work is perfect. My blood pressure, all that stuff is great.”
Perhaps the most significant health improvement involved his sleep apnea. “The other thing that I had was horrible sleep apnea. And my sleep apnea, that’s what would have killed me,” White stated matter-of-factly.
During the discussion, White also talked about an advanced blood filtration treatment in Tijuana: “They have this thing down in Tijuana where you go in and they literally put a f**king needle into your into your neck. Your jugular. It’s a three-day process and they literally put your blood through a machine and it filters your blood and then puts your blood back into your body.”
White explained the reported benefits: “It’s supposed to be incredible for people who have cancer. And it gets all this s**t out of your blood like metals and mold and and all these different toxins and all this stuff.”
Both Stephen A. Smith and Steve Harvey reportedly told White that “when they did it like their eyesight was better, their hearing was better and and and and they felt so much better.”
White admitted: “I’m going to try to do it this year.”
Despite regaining 25 pounds, White maintains he feels excellent and plans to continue with Brecka’s approach.
