Dr. Tom O’Bryan stands as a luminary in the field of health and wellness, renowned for his expertise in gluten sensitivity, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammation. His teachings emphasize a holistic approach to achieving long-term well-being by addressing the root causes of chronic illnesses.

O’Bryan sat down with Anthony Lolli and TereZa Hakobyan-Lolli for the Biohack Yourself Documentary and said central to his philosophy is the recognition that chronic systemic inflammation underpins conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's, often developing silently over years.

“It's what you breathe that triggers the inflammation in your brain that kills off the memory center in your brain, right? So it's our environment that is always the fuel on the fire, your immune system that's just trying to protect you,” O’Bryan said in the Biohack Yourself Documentary. “You don't want to suppress the immune system.”

Dr. Tom O’Bryan advocates for dietary choices that reduce inflammation, emphasizing the consumption of organic produce rich in polyphenols. "The colors of the rainbow diet are crucial because they contain polyphenols, which are the stress hormones in plants that support our immune system," he explained. Additionally, he underscores the critical role of hydration in effective detoxification, likening it to ensuring a clear highway within the body for eliminating toxins. His recommended intake is one-third of an ounce of water per pound of body weight daily, with adjustments up to half an ounce per pound during periods of heightened perspiration, such as during exercise or sauna sessions. This approach supports optimal hydration levels essential for efficient toxin removal and overall health maintenance.

Dr. O’Bryan also advocates for regular aerobic exercise, citing a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association that identified 9,726 steps per day as a benchmark for health benefits. By prioritizing hydration and physical activity, he underscores their foundational importance in supporting overall well-being and detoxification processes.

What drives you

Reduce your chance of disease by 95%

“If you walk 10,000 steps a day you reduce your risk of dementia by 51%,” he explained in the documentary. “It didn't matter what your genetics were, you reduce your risk extensively just by walking. You don't have to be doing advanced types of exercise, just walking. But you have to do enough of it because you're mobilizing. You're getting your lymphatics going.”

Beyond personal habits, he raises awareness about environmental factors, urging individuals to reduce exposure to toxins found in everyday products. "You can't live in a moldy house and think it's fine. You're causing inflammation in every single person," he warns. Dr. O’Bryan’s approach also includes empowering individuals through education, encouraging weekly learning about health improvements and gradual lifestyle changes outlined in his book "You Can Fix Your Brain."

Energy Blueprint

Is inflammation the main driver of disease?

He emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing food sensitivities, recommending tests to identify and eliminate foods that trigger immune responses. "When people find out and they eliminate that food, they start feeling better," he said.

His vision extends to fostering a generation capable of addressing health challenges through informed choices and environmental stewardship, thereby shaping a healthier future for all.

“The only way we can save the planet, in my opinion, is to raise a generation of children to think outside the box,” O’Bryan said in the documentary. “They have been groomed to not be restricted in their thinking processes so they can think new thoughts.”

By integrating principles of functional medicine, focusing on gut health, and advocating for biohacking strategies, Dr. O'Bryan provides a comprehensive blueprint for achieving optimal health and longevity. His dedication to educating the public about the significance of reducing oxidative stress, maintaining metabolic flexibility, and harnessing the benefits of adaptogenic herbs illustrates his commitment to a healthier, more resilient population.
