Jon Jones heaps praise of health guru Gary Brecka
The 37-year-old used his Instagram caption to gush about his new friend.
Jones wrote: “I am so honored and humbled to have spent the day with Gary Brecks and his lovely wife – I can’t possibly THANK YOU two enough for spending the whole day at my home helping me with my health and nutrition goals!
“Your guidance and support mean so much to me. I am not sure I’ll ever able to repay you. I consider you a true and real friend.
“I am also feeling so motivated and ready to get a W and to tackle my health journey for the rest of my life!
The feeling was mutual for Brecka, who appeared to enjoy his time with the UFC heavyweight champion.
“Consider you a great friend too Jon,” he wrote in the comment section.
“You’re an amazing human, a true champion beyond the Octagon and it’s an honor to be part of this journey with you.”
Dana White credits Gary Brecka with saving his life
UFC CEO Dana White introduced Brecka to the MMA community in 2022.
White learned about Brecka’s 10X Health System Systems which can predict a person’s death date based on DNA tests and blood samples.
After being given just 10.4 years left to live, the MMA mogul lost 44lbs and got ripped before showing off his new physique to the world on social media.
“He gave me 10.4 years to live. This was 16 weeks ago, and he said to me ‘If you don’t change these things, this is your life expectancy,'” White said in October 2022.
“And he says, ‘If you do everything I tell you to do for the next ten weeks it will change your life.’ I did everything he said to the letter, and I lost 30lbs.
“Everything is gone in ten f****** weeks, I have been working with doctors for ten years and they haven’t been able to do anything.
“This guy is incredible, and he can literally change your life. I feel like I’m 35 years old again. Swear to God, I feel like I’m 35 again.”
