Male Hormones and Thyroid Health with Dr. Tracy Gapin

EPISODE 106

“The single biggest factor when it comes to low testosterone is the toxins in our environment that are crushing our health.” – Dr. Tracy Gapin

From toxins in our food to toxins in our water and personal care products, studies have shown that these physiological stressors are crushing thyroid function and healthy testosterone production and function. Add to that the chronic stress of our modern lives, and it’s no wonder many men suffer from hormone imbalances.

Today, I’m joined by Dr. Tracy Gapin to explore the topic of men’s health in more detail. Dr. Gapin is a board-certified urologist, world-renowned men’s health and performance expert, and the founder of the Gapin Institute for High Performance Health. A thought leader, professional speaker, and the author of the best-selling books Male 2.0 and Codes of Longevity, Dr. Gapin has over 20 years of experience focused on men’s health, human performance, and longevity.

In this conversation, Dr. Gapin and I discuss the reasons behind low male hormones, the role of stress in hormone imbalances, why it’s critical to address multiple systems to correct the cycle, Dr. Gapin’s approach to hormone testing, natural ways to increase testosterone, the benefits of testosterone therapy, and more.
