Jim Oliver sits down with Dr. Tracy Gapin, a former urologist who walked away from traditional medicine after nearly three decades inside a system built to manage disease, not build performance. Most high earners obsess over ROI in their portfolio while ignoring the assets that produce the return in the first place: Energy, focus, libido, sleep.
Dr. Gapin explains why modern healthcare is reactive by design. You get a diagnosis, a prescription, and you move on. That model works well in a crisis but it doesn’t work if your goal is to perform at a high level into your 80s and beyond.
Jim brings it back to something simple: once you realize you’re unlikely to run out of money, the real risk becomes running out of health.

The Bigger Idea:
If you see yourself as someone who is aging and declining, your behaviors follow.
If you see yourself as someone building strength and capability for the next 30 years, your decisions shift.
Health is not a side project – it’s built on intentionally constructed infrastructure that determines how long you can stay in the game.
