In this episode of Vroom Vroom Veer, Dr. Tracy Gapin, founder of the Gapin Institute and leading authority on men’s health optimization and longevity, shares his deeply personal journey from burnout to breakthrough and how he helps high performers transform their lives through personalized health strategies.
Dr. Gapin, a board-certified urologist with over 25 years of clinical experience, is no stranger to the intense pressures of the traditional healthcare system. But it was a personal health crisis that drove him to pivot toward cutting-edge approaches grounded in precision medicine, epigenetics, hormone therapy, and performance optimization.
He shares his powerful journey from early ambitions of becoming a doctor to the intense demands of a 6-year urology residency and a thriving surgical practice in Sarasota—only to face burnout and disillusionment within a broken healthcare system. In his conversation with Jeffery Veer, he unpacks the harsh realities of modern medicine, where insurance companies and hospital systems often undermine true patient care. This led Tracy to pivot toward wellness entrepreneurship, building a cash-based, performance-driven model rooted in personalized, data-driven health strategies. From epigenetic testing to hormone optimization, he explains how tailoring protocols to individual biology creates measurable, lasting results.
The conversation explores how micronutrients, gut health, and testosterone all influence aging, why cycling mTOR pathways matters for longevity, and how sleep, HRV, and wearables like Oura Rings are crucial for optimizing recovery and managing stress. “Longevity isn’t about one magic supplement,” Tracy notes. “It’s about building a lifestyle that supports healthspan, not just lifespan.”
