Dr. Tracy Gapin, MD, is a board-certified urologist, men’s health expert, author, and speaker, specializing in precision medicine. 

After experiencing his own health challenges and finding limited results through conventional medicine, Dr. Gapin immersed himself in the study of functional medicine, epigenetics, and precision health. He now runs a cutting-edge practice that combines advanced testing, personalized genetics, and data-driven lifestyle interventions to help men achieve their health goals. Key topics discussed include:The crucial role of gut health in regulating hormone production, neurotransmitter production, mood, metabolism, and immune functionThe importance of incorporating a variety of strategies to naturally boost testosterone levels, such as strength training, improving sleep quality, getting sunlight, and optimizing micronutrient intakeThe limitations of relying solely on natural testosterone-boosting methods and the potential need for Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) in cases of persistently low testosterone levelsThe transformative effects of TRT on energy, mood, motivation, metabolism, muscle building, fat burning, and sexual function in men with low testosteroneThe impact of environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors on testosterone production and the transgenerational epigenetic effects passed down from previous generationsPractical strategies for creating sustainable healthy eating habits, including the importance of motivation, ability, and prompts, as well as the role of controlling your food environment to support your goalsTimestamps: (00:23) Perfect Diet Debates and Individual Differences
