Speaking to , Brecka explained how White's blood results triggered an alert in the middle of the night.

White was on seven medications, three for his blood pressure, and had "skyrocketing levels of cholesterol."
He was also pre-diabetic and insulin resistant.
Brecka said: "I told Dana 'I'm surprised you can sleep at night without waking up choking and gagging.
"I'm surprised it's not painful to bend down and tie your shoes.
"Your level of brain fog and fatigue has got to be at a crushing level - I'm surprised you can remember anything.'"
Brecka said White responded: "I'm on a CPAP machine. I wake up every night and throw up in the middle of the night.
"I throw up so much I'm losing my voice."

White's UFC employees said he was forgetful, used to pass out in meetings, and fall asleep on planes.
Brecka explained how he wrote a strict ketogenic diet for White, and told the UFC boss he couldn't eat anything not on the list.
He also balanced his hormones, controlled his glycaemic index, and used amino acids to help reduce the triglycerides.
Brecka said: "In 10 weeks, lost 28 to 30 pounds and he's over 40 pounds [down] now.
"By end of fifth month he was off every prescription medication.
"He is no longer pre-diabetic, he has normal triglycerides, and his kidney and liver function improved.
