Tracy Gapin | Embracing Change: A Surgeon’s Path to Precision Performance Medicine

In this episode of The Last 10%, host Dallas Burnett interviews Tracy Gapin, a former urologic surgeon who left a 25-year career to found Peak Launch and focus on precision performance medicine for high performers. Tracy shares how burnout and a disappointing first physical at age 40 led him to study epigenetics, functional medicine, hormones, peptides, and longevity, and why he believes insurance-driven, volume-based healthcare encourages quick prescriptions over lifestyle change. They discuss common mistakes leaders make—chasing biohacks before fundamentals, missing “signal vs. noise,” and failing to balance stress with recovery—highlighting sleep as a key recovery tool with practical sleep-hygiene tips and tracking metrics like HRV. Tracy also addresses declining male fertility and testosterone, advocates checking free testosterone, and recommends boundaries like focus/buffer/free days to prevent burnout.
