40-Year-Old Men's Health is a Lie | Dr Tracy Gapin
12/16/2025 | 56 mins.
Become the FEARLESS entrepreneur you dream about: https://www.findingpeak.com Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6HogwYeVQfo They’re lying to you. Your doctor, the health gurus, the whole system. They tell you feeling like crap is just “part of getting older.” That the brain fog, the belly fat, the rock-bottom energy, and the non-existent sex drive is just your “new normal” now that you’re 40. It’s a lie. And it’s a lie that’s not only killing your quality of life—it’s killing your business. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tracy Gapin, a former surgeon turned men’s health optimization expert who is pulling back the curtain on the catastrophic decline in men’s health. We expose the truth about why testosterone levels have plummeted 45% in the last 20 years, why your GP’s advice is dangerously outdated, and how you can stop the slow decay and reclaim the energy, focus, and drive you thought you’d lost forever. This isn’t about a few diet tips or another useless supplement. This is the blueprint to rebuilding yourself from the cellular level up. Stop accepting mediocrity. Your peak is still ahead of you. This is the way.
