“He Does TRT, No Big Deal” – Health Expert Spills the Beans on Dana White’s Fitness Transformation With Controversial Gary Brecka

Dana White is shredded now. Just days ago, the UFC CEO shared a post with a two-year-old picture of him looking noticeably rotund, with his belly visible through his shirt. This picture was juxtaposed by another recent picture at the bottom, where the Las Vegas resident is ripped, complete with a full set of abs and well-defined muscles.

The UFC CEO credited this turnaround to Gary Brecka and his 10X health program, a comprehensive health system that claims to use advanced testing methods to arrive at tailored, customized health solutions for its users. However, one YouTuber has pointed out the deficiencies in White and Brecka’s claims and why people shouldn’t blindly rush to them based on the UFC CEO’s transformation, as he found some aspects of them fishy.

James Linker on his ‘Shredded Sports Science’ YouTube channel critically examined Dana White’s remarkable health transformation and his tall claims in a video on his channel. Linker pointed out that the UFC CEO has himself admitted that he has started working out and eating natural food over processed foods (which have been linked to serious health conditions like obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes). This, the YouTuber felt, was the main reason for White’s much-improved well-being and physique.

“So one of the most visible health coaches right now is Gary Brecka, who’s become very famous from working with Dana White, who dramatically improved his health. Dana changed his diet; he started to eat more natural than processed foods; and he started exercising every day, which I would say are the key components to his health recomposition,” he said.

To which Linker sardonically observed: “Oh, and he does TRT, no big deal?” The YouTuber pointed out that Dana White had contradicted himself as Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), which the UFC CEO had admitted to being on, was a form of medication, contrary to Brecka and White’s claims.

The UFC CEO had started taking certain supplements that Brecka had prescribed him. According to the latter, his health program involves running comprehensive tests on the patient to determine the state of their health. Based upon these findings, the patient is prescribed certain supplements to improve their health and well-being. And this is precisely the process Dana White went through before being prescribed the supplements he is currently on.

Linker then showed clips of Brecka and White poring over the latter’s test results. In the clip, Brecka pointed to the UFC CEO’s health trending positively as evidence of his system’s effectiveness, with White making certain observations, both of which rubbed Linker the wrong way.

“Testosterone stayed right in the upper end of the range ‘cuz we’re doing TRT hormone replacement therapy; not a huge deal there,” Brecka observed, pointing to the results. This was followed by White claiming “I’m not taking any medication now; this is all just supplements.”

“Yeah, you do [take medication], Dana. TRT is a literal medication for, for example, men over 50 who have low testosterone levels,” Linker added, as he advised his viewers to focus on the time-tested methods to improve their health.

The fitness YouTuber did commend the UFC CEO for his new and improved physique and overall health but warned against falling into the trap of blindly following the latest health fads. He pointed out that while there was an abundance of newfangled and trendy ideas devised by health coaches, doing the basics, i.e., eating healthier food and eating less of it than your body could burn, combined with regular physical activity was the best bet to achieve improved health outcomes.

“Well done to Dana for improving his health but be careful with any new trending health coaching claims because, of course, calorie deficit eating, better quality of food, exercising will be the key components to a health recomposition replacement therapy,” he added.
