Don’t know much about Gary Brecka but his story about how he got into health is pretty interesting. He was working at a life insurance company and he got really good at predicting exactly when people were going to die based on the types of drugs they were taking.

The insurance companies were using big data instead of clinical trial data, which is apparently much more accurate.

He says he was fairly confident he could call someone and change their course to prevent their eventual death. The only problem is he is not a doctor so it would have been illegal for him to do that.

Eventually he was tired of watching “blind people walk into traffic from behind a stained glass window” and got into a wellness practice.
