Dr. Hotch blasted gear for years… now he’s warning young men

In this episode of Santa Cruz Medicinals Radio, I’m joined by Dr. Hotch to break down what really happens when metabolic health goes sideways - from insulin resistance and diabetic foot complications to why so many “healthy-looking” guys still have terrible labs.

We also get into peptides, TRT, and why most “optimization” is overrated if you’re not nailing the basics (whole foods, lifting, sunlight, sleep, stress).

Plus: seed oils, tanning peptides, growth hormone, bloodwork (what’s worth testing vs what’s noise), and a raw, honest convo on modern men’s mental health, dopamine/serotonin, and why doing hard things still matters.

Drop your questions for Dr. Hotch and me below.
