Male 2.0: Reinvigorating Men’s Health, Vitality & Longevity with Dr. Tracy Gapin

In this episode of the Pain & Performance Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tracy Gapin to uncover the hidden health factors that could be holding men back—from their energy to their success.

This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about understanding the root causes: low testosterone, chronic stress, blood sugar spikes, and environmental toxins. If you’ve been “powering through” fatigue, low motivation, or poor focus, this episode will make you rethink everything.

We talk about what most men ignore until it’s too late—and why proactive testing, smarter lifestyle choices, and sometimes hormone support can be game-changers.

Dr. Gapin also shares his own journey from traditional to functional medicine, how he found deeper purpose in helping men optimize their health, and what it really takes to start showing up fully in your work, relationships, and life.
