Podcast: The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
Published On: Tue Apr 29 2025
Description: What if your quest for optimal health is failing because you're overlooking the most fundamental human needs — connection to nature, meaningful relationships, and genuine presence. Shayna’s journey is the perfect example. Despite living the “healthy” LA lifestyle as a model and chef, she struggled with chronic gut issues, anxiety, and skin problems that 11 different doctors couldn’t solve. The turning point? Moving to Italy and rebuilding her life around her non-negotiable wellness practices.  Join the Ultimate Human VIP community and gain exclusive access to Gary Brecka's proven wellness protocols today!: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Connect with Shayna Taylor: Website: https://bit.ly/4iMCCla  YouTube: https://bit.ly/4jL5NWk  Instagram:https://bit.ly/4jvVgyQ  TikTok: https://bit.ly/3GGfya2  Facebook: https://bit.ly/3EIyFzO  X.com: https://bit.ly/3Yk6i1D  Thank you to our partners: H2TABS - USE CODE “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg BODYHEALTH - USE CODE “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV BAJA GOLD - USE CODE "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa EIGHT SLEEP - SAVE $350 ON THE POD 4 ULTRA WITH CODE “GARY”: https://bit.ly/3WkLd6E COLD LIFE - THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKp WHOOP - GET 1 FREE MONTH WHEN YOU JOIN!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW MASA CHIPS - GET 20% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER: https://bit.ly/40LVY4y VANDY - USE CODE “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/49Qr7WE AION - USE CODE “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD HAPBEE - FEEL BETTER & PERFORM AT YOUR BEST: https://bit.ly/4a6glfo CARAWAY - USE CODE “ULTIMATE” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3Q1VmkC HEALF - GET 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S BIOPTIMIZERS - USE CODE “ULTIMATE” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4inFfd7 RHO NUTRITION - USE CODE “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: https://bit.ly/44fFza0 Get your Genetic Test here: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka: Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8fo X.com: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: https://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 02:15 Shayna Taylor’s Journey 07:44 Moving to Italy and Buying a Property and a Farmland 23:23 Research on Regenerative and Biodynamic Farming 25:56 Reconnecting with Nature 33:37 Living in Italy vs. USA (Food, Cost, Mentality) 41:10 Inspiration for the Inner Alchemy Wellness Program 49:46 Shayna’s Spiritual Journey 57:44 Lifestyles in Europe 1:00:42 Healing by Getting Back to the Basics  1:03:33 Shayna’s Daily Rituals 1:06:18 Impact of Meditation 1:12:09 Connect with Shayna 1:12:26 Final Question: What does it mean to you to be an “Ultimate Human?” Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.
