“Gapin Institute was life-changing. The biggest challenge for me was investing in myself. We buy fancy cars and watches, but investing in my health was something I kept putting off.
I had some funky blood work and was close to type 2 diabetes. A good friend introduced me to Tracy, and he challenged me to get my life back. Today, I play tennis every morning. When I started with Tracy, I was 253 pounds; four years later, I’m down to 198. My A1C is no longer pre-diabetic, and I’ve regained my energy.
The biggest benefit has been the ability to do anything physically. I want to be the best grandfather, husband, and leader. I originally just wanted to lower my A1C, but I discovered I had a real addiction to food. Tracy and his team helped me understand how my body reacts to food and how to rebuild my diet. I can’t thank them enough—it gave me my life back.
It will take about 60 to 90 days to see big changes, but stick with it. At that point, people will notice the difference, and you’ll feel the magic happening.”

“The main reason I almost didn’t join the Gapin Institute was because I thought it would be too expensive, and after so many doctors with no results, I wasn’t sure if it would be worth it. But I was tired of being sick and tired. I wasn’t losing weight or feeling better no matter what I did, so I decided to try something outside of the traditional primary care path.
I’m so glad I did because I got my health back. I finally understand what’s happening in my body, which no other doctor took the time to explain. The team at Gapin Institute was amazing, explaining how my body was functioning and what I could do to improve it. They didn’t just tell me everything was fine—they helped me course correct for the long term, not just through another fad diet.
The most significant change has been my energy levels and better sleep. I’m a parent, so I’m tired in general, but I feel more functional now. They’ve helped me understand how small tweaks can make a huge difference in how I feel. Every time I interact with the team, it’s a positive experience. They celebrate every win with me, and I never feel defeated. The personalized approach has been a game-changer.”

“The number one reason I almost didn’t join the Gapin Institute was the time commitment. But the biggest benefit is that I feel so much better, and my performance has improved in every area of my life. It’s brought me hope for a long, healthy, happy life.
The results came quickly, with weight loss, better sleep, and improved performance. I originally joined for prostate issues, but what I gained was a healthy lifestyle plan that I’ll keep forever. Dr. Gapin and his team created a personalized program that fits my needs, and what stood out the most was how much they care. It’s not about checking boxes—they take a personal interest in you.
If you’re undecided, I recommend scheduling a one-on-one consultation. You’ll be glad you did. The biggest benefit has been getting hope for the future and a clear plan to live a long, healthy life.”

“I knew I had to make changes in my lifestyle to be healthier and happier as I grew older, and once I started feeling the benefits, I knew I’d made the right decision.
The number one result I’ve experienced is that I feel better all around. I have more energy, and my sleep has drastically improved. Maintaining a healthy weight has become easier, and I’m in the best shape I’ve been in years.
Dr. Gapin and his team are the best at helping people achieve their healthiest selves. If you’re on the fence, my advice is to schedule an appointment today.”

I was hesitant with respect to the treatment; I’ve lost over 30 pounds and 10% of body fat. I’ve achieved significant increases in skeletal muscle mass, significant reductions in body fat, and significant reductions in overall weight.
All the while, reduction in cholesterol, and I feel reenergized. I feel like I’m 10 years younger.
Invest in yourself. It’s worth every penny.”

“We almost didn’t join the Gapin Institute because of the cost, but my husband and I decided we were worth it.
We skipped vacations and birthday presents for one year to do the program, and now we’re hooked. It only took three months to see huge changes in our lives.
I no longer have diabetes, and my fatty liver is gone. I’ve gone from 169 pounds down to 123 pounds in two years, and my energy levels are through the roof.
My aches and pains are gone. The Gapin Institute and Dr. Tracy aren’t just focused on weight but on mental health, nutrition, and creating a sustainable lifestyle.
If you’re on the fence, do this program—it will change your life.”

“I started testosterone therapy with Dr. Gapin about eight weeks ago. I was the typical middle-aged guy—two kids, full-time job, feeling fatigued. I’d always been able to power through, but I started noticing my energy was declining, especially with my kids.
After working out consistently for a year, I wasn’t seeing any improvements. I knew Dr. Gapin specialized in men’s health and testosterone therapy, but I was apprehensive. After speaking with some people, I decided to try it. Within four to six weeks, I noticed a real difference in my energy, clarity, and mood.
My body also started changing—I gained muscle, and my skeletal muscle mass increased from 85 to 88 pounds in just two months. It’s been life-changing, and I never want to go back. There have been no side effects, and the results are undeniable. Dr. Gapin’s staff is well-educated and responsive, and they’ve created a full, comprehensive package. If you’re considering it, take the first step and make the call.”

“I was training five days a week, doing CrossFit early in the morning, and killing myself with exercise. But even after four years, I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. I still carried too much weight in the wrong areas, and I wasn’t progressing as I hoped.
Working with Dr. Gapin, I got on a much better path, setting goals that I wanted to achieve, not what my trainer wanted. After four or five weeks on my plan, I started seeing real results—getting stronger, leaner, and moving quicker. My sleep improved, and my wife even noticed a positive change in me. There were side benefits that made a huge difference in my life.
If you’re considering working with Dr. Gapin, I highly recommend it. Everyone has their own plan, and if you don’t have one, nothing will change. Go see Dr. Gapin and start creating your personalized plan today.”
“I joined the Gapin Institute about two and a half years ago. My hesitation was really about the cost, but once I started working with Dr. Gapin and his staff, I realized the value of investing in my health.
Within a month, I started feeling the effects—more energy, better sleep, and improved physical performance. It allowed me to be a better runner and drop body fat. It also took about six months for me to be convinced to go on testosterone therapy, but once I did, it was a game-changer.
The Gapin Institute focuses on preventive health, catching issues early and fixing them before they become big problems.
It’s a completely different approach to medicine, and it’s been life-changing for me.”
“I’m 54 years old with three teenagers and a beautiful wife.
When I first saw the Gapin Institute, I couldn’t justify the time or money. But I realized I didn’t want to be 64, 74, or 84 years old and not be able to enjoy life.
It’s been a year since I started, and yes, I’ve leaned up, and my wife laughs at how I chase her around like a 16-year-old. More importantly, my parents faced Alzheimer’s and dementia, and I want to be a super-ager. Dr. Gapin’s blood work and tests allowed me to dial in exactly what my body needs.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, and now I feel confident that I’m living optimally. I encourage you to dig into what your body needs because until you do, you won’t know. Let’s all become super-agers together.”
John Barringer
“I’ve been with Dr. Gapin and the Gapin Institute for about 15-18 months. I first heard about the program when Dr. Gapin spoke to a group of men I know and a close friend joined the program and started seeing real results. So I followed suit.
I’m 74 years old and always thought I was relatively healthy, but I’d gained a lot of weight over the last decade. I was pushing 275-280 pounds. Over the past year, I’ve lost over 50 pounds.
It’s not just about weight loss, though—my blood work, blood sugars, and other markers have dramatically improved. I sleep better, my libido is stronger, and I’ve stuck with the program.
It’s not a straight line, but if you follow the rules and do your part, the results are incredible.”
Gary Wood
President & CEO
“I’ve been with Dr. Gapin since 2021. One of the main reasons I went to him was because I was feeling slower, less energetic, and I wanted to optimize my health for myself, my family, and my career. About a month after I started seeing him, I noticed small, incremental improvements. Whether through supplementation, diet enhancements, or mentality changes, it made a big difference quickly. It’s been awesome to be on this journey of getting physically and mentally better.
What I’ve noticed most is having more energy. Like right now, it’s five in the morning, and I’m getting ready to hit the gym with more drive to do what needs to be done. That motivation extends to being there for your family and performing at work. Most importantly, Dr. Gapin has helped me become a better father and husband, making sure I’m the best version of myself.
Dr. Gapin has been amazing with his insights, intellect, and personal compassion. He explains everything clearly and is accessible, easy to work with, and thoughtful. His staff is also fantastic—quick to follow up and very personable.
It’s been a great investment and a valuable time commitment, and I’ve seen amazing results.”
Brad Jones
“It’s changed my life, bringing back energy, vigor, and fun. You feel young again. The nice cars and places are great, but feeling fit, put together, and full of energy—nothing feels better. There’s this idea that hormone changes and things like low testosterone are just how it is as you get older, but we can be our best selves physically, not just mentally and spiritually.
I’ve lost the dad bod and honestly feel in better shape now, in my 60s, than I did in my 20s. My wife and I love being active, and I’m proud that at my age, I’m fit and energetic. It’s not about finding the fountain of youth, but about maximizing life as we age.
The program is easy to follow, and the personal attention at Gapin Institute makes you feel like their only customer. If anyone out there is wondering if it’s real or worth it, I say just do it—you won’t regret it.”

“You can’t grasp how life-changing it is to not only feel comfortable in your own skin but also to have a doctor tell you that you’re no longer dealing with high blood pressure. My family history is full of strokes and heart attacks, but now, my blood work shows I have a much better chance of living a long, healthy life.
The biggest benefit for me has been the energy and focus I’ve gained. In just 14 months, I’ve lost 50 pounds, gone from a size 46 to a baggy 38 waist, and gained substantial muscle. My workouts and CrossFit performance have improved dramatically, and coaches often ask what program I’m on. The biohacking approach identified my unique genetic challenges, addressing gut biome and specific deficiencies that no generic program ever could.
I’ve dealt with being heavy my entire life, reaching 350 pounds at my heaviest. Shopping was humiliating, and I felt judged everywhere I went. Today, I’m confident in my body for the first time. I can walk into a restaurant or gym and feel comfortable and capable. My blood pressure has dropped from 210/105 to 122/65, and I know I’ll live a longer, healthier life thanks to the program.
The Gapin Institute doesn’t just offer a one-size-fits-all approach; they provided personalized analysis, supplements, and support throughout my journey. If you’re hesitant about the cost, know that today, I’d gladly pay double for the results I’ve achieved. You deserve the chance to feel as good as I do now.”

I don't think there's any program that I'm aware of that has such a frequent series of updates covering all aspects of your health: your blood workup, how your body's doing, and how you're metabolizing all your foods. It also has an effect on weight. Hi there, this is Peter Dorkin, and I live in Manhattan Beach, California. I didn't have any particular big health struggles; I just want to maintain my health as best as I can. I did some research on Tracy Gaffen, and he bears a lot of similarities to Tony Robbins. I call him the Tony Robbins of medicine. He's a great promoter, and he seems to have a lot of energy. His life story impressed me as he related it. This is certainly a premier concierge medicine type of program, and I've been very happy with the medical coach every two weeks, Brittany PA every four weeks, and then a complete blood workup every six weeks. This way, I know exactly where I'm going and the results that are changing with the different supplements and medications that have been prescribed. I'm just keeping up my exercising and good diet, and that's pretty much it.

“I can confidently say that my life has transformed since I started working with the Gapin Institute. My name is Hank Winters, and I'm from Sarasota, Florida, where I run a healthcare recruiting practice. In the past, I struggled with low energy and often found myself trying to avoid work or procrastinating tasks. Now, I can enjoy a full day of work, thanks to the improvements in my sleep and energy levels.
A couple of years ago, my days felt lifeless, but now I experience far more good days than bad. I decided to give Gapin a try after hearing positive feedback from a mutual friend. From my first meeting with Dr. Tracy and his team, I felt like I was in the right place. Their local presence was a big plus for me.
Previously, I had tried various methods to boost my energy, including cleaner foods and supplements, but nothing seemed to help me achieve the restful sleep I needed. What surprised me most about Gapin was their commitment to finding tailored solutions that align with my personal goals.
I wholeheartedly recommend Gapin to anyone looking to optimize their life. If you feel like you've done everything you can on your own and need professional support, this is a great place to start your journey. I appreciate their methodologies and the leadership that Dr. Tracy brings to the table. I always do my homework and check the guidance I receive, and I can confidently say that Gapin has provided everything I was looking for.”
Hank Winters
“I cannot recommend the Gapin Institute highly enough. My name is Dave Wolcott, and I am the CEO and founder of Pantheon Investments, where we help entrepreneurs maximize their wealth and create more freedom in their lives. After getting to know Dr. Gapin and his team, I felt a genuine comfort in their unique approach to health—something truly revolutionary that isn't widely available in the marketplace.
I've always prioritized my health and have used functional medicine for over a decade, but I was eager to take my wellness to the next level. At 54, I knew there were areas holding me back, and I was determined to achieve optimal health. Initially, I hesitated to work with Gapin because I had built a strong relationship with my previous functional medicine doctor, with whom I had achieved significant progress over the years. However, after taking the plunge with Gapin, I was amazed by the results I experienced within just 30 days.
They uncovered blind spots I didn’t even know existed, and their approach to monitoring my health introduced me to a whole new level of key performance indicators. The biggest difference was the balance I achieved in my hormones, which my previous doctor had overlooked. This adjustment led to an immediate boost in my energy and overall sense of well-being, making me feel revitalized, almost as if I were in my 20s or 30s again.
Now, nine months later, I continue to feel fantastic, and I attribute much of this progress to the expertise and support of the Gapin team. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Gapin Institute to friends and family because health is foundational to everything in life. As we’ve seen with figures like Steve Jobs, even the wealthiest individuals cannot buy their health. Investing in yourself through the Gapin Institute is essential for living your best life.”
Dave Wolcott
“Working with GAP Institute has been really good for me because they have helped me think about my health in a different way. I think about it more in terms of what can I do now that can help me be healthier 10, 20, 30 years from now.
Even though I'm 56, there's still a lot of things that I want to do in life, and I feel like I'm on a path now to where I can achieve a lot of those things.
My name is Derek Sykes and I'm in Montgomery, Alabama. I'm a financial advisor with the Meridian Advisory Group and Raymond James.
From a medical standpoint, working with the medical system that’s not GAP was largely frustrating. It was very reactive as opposed to taking a proactive approach like the people at GAP do.
I'm a big fan of Dr. Peter and his podcast. After listening to him and seeing that there was a different approach to medicine—where the practitioners could be proactive and it could be more personalized—that's what drew me to the Gapin Institute, because they take the same approach.
When I was considering working with GAP, one hesitation was that they're located in Sarasota, Florida, and I'm located in Montgomery, Alabama. But once I did an in-person visit to the clinic in Sarasota, then we could work virtually, and that has been a great experience since then.
In the past, I've tried the more traditional medical approach where you have a problem, you go see the doctor, they address that problem. Whereas now I feel like we're taking a more holistic, systematic approach to things.
The thing that surprised me the most about working at the Gapin Institute is just how responsive they are to any requests that I have. They have built a really nice infrastructure. Whether it's things like refills that you need, or labs that you need to get ordered, or changes to anything that you're doing—they have someone who can respond to you in a very timely manner.
My life is different now that I'm working with the Gapin Institute really because we're looking at the big picture and not just focusing on individual conditions or individual things that are wrong, but really trying to address things from a systematic standpoint has been extremely helpful.”
Derrick Sikes
“I have definitely recommended the Gapin Institute to everybody. People look at me and say, “What are you doing? What’s happened to you? You look so good, you look so much better, you're just so much more full of energy.” And I say, “I'm going to recommend this company to you,” because they have really helped me.
They don’t just hang out on the surface—they dig deep until they get the answers. They’ve found things that no one else has ever even mentioned to me before. I highly recommend them to everyone. They’re just… great.
My name is Anthony Fiore. I live in Englewood, Florida. Many years ago, when I was a young man, I started a construction company, and I'm still managing it at 76 years old. My other vocation is that I’m a missionary.
Before I was introduced to the Gapin Institute, I didn’t have anyone in the medical field who gave me any hope at all that I could get back to doing the things I used to do earlier in life. I did a search online, and Gapin came up. I called them, talked to them, set an appointment, and went down there. That’s how this wonderful process got started.
I had gone to traditional doctors for years trying to get help for low libido, low strength—my muscles seemed to have gone on vacation. I was trying to keep up and do the things I needed to do, but it just wasn’t happening. And they said, “We’ve got the answers for you.”
When I started talking to Gapin, they told me they were going to help me—and they did. It began with my relationship with my wife. I just wasn’t able to do the things I used to when I was younger. I asked, “Can you address that?” And they said, “We're on it.”
I kept hearing from others, “Well, you're old. Things happen when you get older. You can’t expect it to be the way it was before.” But I didn’t hear that from Gapin. From the very beginning, they were just encouraging. It’s amazing what’s happened—it was different from anything I had experienced before.
They’re very down-to-earth and open to whatever needs to be done beyond traditional medicine. They ran banks of tests that no one else had done. They found things no one else had found. It was like—wow. Their care is so detailed, and their concern is genuine. There’s no high pressure. It feels like family.
Before Gapin, my whole body was just going downhill. What really bothered me was I didn’t feel like I had a handle on things—I wasn’t remembering things like I should, I’d get tired easily, I didn’t sleep well, and it just kept getting worse.
I had never even heard of testosterone treatment before—and that’s something they do there. They started me on that, and oh my gosh, it’s amazing. I had tried traditional medicine for years, and here I am now, just so thankful. It feels like I’ve gotten 20 years of my life back.”
“I wanted more of a personal connection—maybe something in-house. I searched around and really liked Gapin. They have a great website and awesome people.
My name is Kelly Hill. I'm in Fort Myers, Florida, and my wife and I have run an engineering firm here for the last 20 years.
I'm 49 now. Last year, what I started noticing—probably around age 46—was a lack of energy. Even though I was sleeping normally and everything seemed fine, I just had less energy. We had a trainer come to the house four days a week, but before Gapin, we’d end up canceling once or twice a week. We just weren’t in rhythm yet. So yeah, I’d say “sluggish” is how I felt before starting with Gapin.
They really listened to where we were at in life—both my wife and I. We actually both joined the program and have done it for a year now. It’s been life-changing in a way.
I think we were just ready to put a stake in the ground and say, “You know what? We like these guys. They’re telling us to do a few simple things,” and it wasn’t hard. It was just like, “Take these pills at these times each day.” So it was more suggestions than demands, and we were ready for it.
It was just a season in our life where we wanted to feel better. And what you realize, once you get a little bit of your time and energy back, is—wow—I’ve really let go of some of the disciplines I used to be really good at. Life just became busy.
And if I don’t take care of this part of my life—for the rest of my life—it’s going to be really hard to hang out with the grandkids, or do whatever you want to do, and still have energy.
I think this is for people who are ready to change, who are sick of where they’re at. It’s not a lot of time. It’s not even a lot of money, per se. It’s more about buying into what you need to do personally—thinking about your health, having some accountability, and having people in your life who will meet with you every other week or once a month and say, “Hey, here’s where you’re at, here’s where you need to be, and here are some recommendations.”
It’s an accountability system that, in more than one way, helps you think about the choices you’re making—and whether you're ready to have a better life.”
