Q&A with Gary Brecka: Peptides, Migraines, Sleep Protocols & More! | TUH #240

About this video

A Q&A episode covering shift workers who cannot keep a regular sleep schedule, healthy weight gain and sarcopenia after 65, chronic migraines and possible MTHFR/methylation links, essential amino acids versus whey protein, travel across time zones, children’s snacks, and how to approach peptide therapy. Brecka’s recurring advice is to control the inputs that remain controllable, such as light, meal timing and protein, and to work with a functional provider for individualized issues such as peptides, which he discusses only by category and goal.

Key takeaways

• Brecka advises shift workers to anchor meal timing and light exposure when sleep timing cannot be anchored
• He presents resistance training plus adequate protein and amino acids as his core anti-sarcopenia strategy
• Brecka suggests chronic migraines warrant investigating methylation, magnesium and histamine factors
• He advises deciding peptide goals with a functional medicine provider rather than self-directing
