<\/p>\nTHE MAN behind Dana White's dramatic body transformation has opened up on extending the UFC chief executive's life span.<\/p>\n
The veteran promoter boasted a huge muscular frame – the result of a lot of heavy lifting in his gym and the one located at his office – just a few years ago.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Although White looked the picture of health on the outside, the 54-year-old was dealing with a multitude of issues.<\/p>\n
Eager to alleviate them, White turned to human biologist and bio-hacker Gary Brecka, who, after conducting a series of tests gave the MMA icon TEN YEARS<\/strong> left to live.<\/p>\n And that diagnosis prompted wholesale lifestyle changes from the UFC's newly-minted CEO, who has dropped a considerable amount of weight over the last six months.<\/p>\n During an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Brecka said: \u201cI think giving him a life expectancy just kind of validated it for him.<\/p>\n \u201cIt just really put it in his face. That\u2019s something you can calculate.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s like, \u2018Okay, I\u2019m 53 now. 63 doesn\u2019t seem that far off.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n High blood pressure was one of the main issues bothering White, who claimed he struggled to tie his shoelaces.<\/p>\n Recalling the protocol he put White on, Brecka said: "Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, all of these things.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n "[Dana White\u2019s] blood pressure was still through the roof.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think it was 160 over 110. I want to say it was very high, and it was consistently high.<\/p>\n "Our clinical team was taking his blood pressure two or three times a day, seven days a week, and it was consistently very elevated, even though he was on blood pressure medication.\u201d<\/p>\n Brecka claims his extensive deep dive into White's body found out he was wrongly diagnosed with hypertension.<\/p>\n He continued: "In Dana White\u2019s case, he was diagnosed with idiopathic hypertension, which he essentially did not have.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was being medicated for it, he had been medicated for it for fifteen years. <\/p>\n "He didn\u2019t really have hypertension, there was nothing really wrong with him.<\/p>\n "It\u2019s that his body couldn\u2019t break down homocysteine. It was deficient in the amino acids needed to break this homocysteine down.\u201d<\/p>\n A key component in White's transformation has been the introduction of Trimethylglycine, which made up for a genetic "deficiency".<\/p>\n He said: "I should have brought the numbers because I had the week-over-week numbers, it was astounding.<\/p>\n \u201cWe just put him on a simple amino acid called Trimethylglycine, an amino acid you can get off the shelf.<\/p>\n "What it did was make up for this genetic deficiency.<\/p>\n \u201cThis lack of code to break down homocysteine. His body started to methylate to break homocysteine down.\u201d<\/p>\n White reflected on his incredible health and fitness journey in September who side-by-side photos of himself out and in shape.<\/p>\n His accompanying caption read: "Left is March 17th 2017. Right is September 18th 2023.<\/p>\n "F****N' NUTS!!!"<\/p>\nREAD MORE IN MMA<\/h2>\n
