Over the past ten years, the popularity of the UFC has skyrocketed. As a result, the UFC supremo, Dana White, has amassed a fortune over the years. But the 53-year-old made a shocking revelation a few months ago that reminded everyone that health is truly wealth.
The UFC boss shared on the ‘Action Junkeez’ podcast that he had got only about ten and a half years of his life left. Since then, White’s health has improved considerably. But not many know about the person behind Dana White’s transformation.

The man to thank for Dana’s progress is Gary Brecka, co-founder of 10X Health Systems. During his ‘Action Junkeez’ podcast appearance, the UFC supremo himself revealed how 10X Health Systems could take your blood and your DNA and tell you when you’re going to die. It was through this test that Brecka got to know about the “cataclysmic results” of White’s health.
Speaking to Steven Bartlett on his podcast ‘The Diary of a CEO’ a few months back, Brecka also revealed, “Triglycerides are a measure of blood fat and shouldn’t be over 149 – two or three hundred is a ‘cataclysmic level,’ but his[White’s] was 768”. Most fans will get an idea why the UFC boss previously had only 10.5 years to live from this statement.
After knowing about the severe condition of White’s health, Brecka immediately informed him about their ten-week weight loss and dietary modification plan. The results from following the plan were revealed by the UFC supremo himself on the ‘Action Junkeez’ podcast.
White stated that he did everything he said, to the letter. He lost 30 pounds. Further, he couldn’t tie his shoes due to his legs being “f**ked up 13 weeks ago”. He said, “I couldn’t bend over to tie my shoes, because my legs were fucked up. I could barely walk some days”. But, he also stated that he faced no such problems anymore.”
White was very appreciative of Brecka’s contribution toward restoring him to healthy conditions.

White also revealed how Brecka’s recommended health plan had also resulted in better sleep. His sleep had been poor for nearly a decade. He said, “sleep apnea, snoring; I had these doctors that I went to for 10 years”. But to the UFC boss’s disappointment, none of them could cure his issues.
Moving on, the UFC boss also revealed that Brecka had given him a “C-Pap machine that a 400 lb fu**ing guy uses”. It is an apparatus used to supply some extra oxygen to the body, which facilitates better sleep.
Brecka has also detailed the developments in White’s health in his ‘The Diary of a CEO’ podcast appearance. He revealed the following improvements in White’s health:

- In 10 weeks, lost 28 to 30 pounds and he’s over 40 pounds [down] now.
- He is no longer pre-diabetic, he has normal triglycerides, and his kidney and liver function improved
- He’s almost tripled life expectancy – just under 30 years.
Quite expectedly, a number of UFC fans might also be thanking Brecka apart from the boss himself. They would definitely want White to hold the position of the UFC President for as long as he can.
