Health should be your first priority, Gary Brecka said in a post on X about what he called a “morning mindset.”

“Your health is the foundation of everything else,” Brecka wrote. “No career success matters if you’re sick. No wealth matters if you’re exhausted. No relationship thrives if you’re inflamed. Invest in your biology first. Everything else follows.”

Brecka is known for advocating a preventative, biology-first approach to performance and wellness. He frequently posts about inflammation, energy levels, and the role of lifestyle and supplementation in mental clarity and resilience.

Research increasingly supports the idea that chronic inflammation, poor sleep, and stress are linked to reduced productivity, decision-making capacity, and relationship satisfaction.

According to studies from institutions like the Cleveland Clinic and Harvard Medical School, lifestyle-related illnesses account for over 70% of healthcare costs in the U.S., with stress, inactivity, and poor diet playing major roles.

Gary Brecka is a human biologist and co-founder of 10X Health System. He previously worked as a mortality specialist and is now a performance consultant to professional athletes, entrepreneurs, and executives.
