So basically...zero information to take away. Thanks!

[@alberthall4923]

I got 'don't lay up'. But nothing I can use either.

[@laveillevoss4898]

There's lots he said to do.... start by checking your body s functions and performance. How much did you expect in a10 min talk anyway.

[@senselessmonkee]

I’m 71 and built muscle the same as when I was young just as I did then. Only the tendons and joints are not the same and you have to be real careful not to over stress them and take extra time to stretch and prepare.

[@beoz658]

6 years olds do not reach the green on a par 5 in 2 shots, not on a regulation gold course, no friggin way.

[@Xentrick]

Ok Got a list of the labs I need. Where can I get those done? Where can I get a cheek swab and then craft genetically specific treatment? When I asked my doctor about how to lose 30 pounds she gave me a pamphlet for gastric bypass. WE have a sickcare system. Out of 147 countries around the world and we are one of the few without a single payer system, with heath forward preventative healthcare. We spend twice the money of healthcare forward countries and get less than half the results. Cut out the medical insurance middle man, save billions and let's get this show on the road. Always enough money for warfare never enough money for healthcare. Power to the people!

[@bradjones2396]

This is fascinating, I am thankful for this important information.

[@nasagolfer]

I play golf and unless his 6 year old son is some kind of freak of nature or he was playing from the women’s tees I can pretty much guarantee you he didn’t get his ball onto a par five green in two shots. If you have to stretch the truth to sell your products then your products are over hyped. Sorry, I checked out with the unrealistic father son story. Might have believed it if the boy had been at least 12. This is too bad because a lot of the people he’s trying to help are golfers like me. And any golfer will see straight through the BS in this story.

[@alberthall4923]

I was skeptical too.

[@laveillevoss4898]

That was a metaphor. Besides, there's usually a tee in front of the gold or red tees for kids but that wasn't the point. I don't come here to layup, I CAME TO WIN. That was the point.

[@PMC1492]

Great talk Dr Gapin! Keep up your good work!

[@DrTracyGapin]

Thank you, Phil!

[@josephramone5805]

...and?!...

[@user-rg2yj9uq7k]

Crushed it Great talk. Sharing this right now.

[@DrTracyGapin]

Appreciate you!

[@shoptalkstudio]

Let’s go!!! Good Job!!!!!

[@billymayshaysjohnson5661]

Get your blood tested. He never told what his idea of replacing diet and exercise was so...diet and exercise it is

[@gangsterghost6943]

Right also how is exercise and vegetables not good

[@levinestegard2674]

​@gangsterghost6943 he's spreading a lil misinformation if u watch some of his other stuff. Like saying your muscles stop responding to exercise and protein in your 40s and 50s.😂 how r u a dr?

[@laveillevoss4898]

No contradictions. Regardless of whether you take supplements, diet and exercise are still primary. Good Supplements help get better results.

[@AlexRodriguez-jk3fy]

A lot of rhetoric with not much substance

[@youareheretofeelgood]

HAPPY YOU ARE NOT FOOLED BY THIS TOTAL HACK! Selling his SNAKE OILS and saying "Amino Acids" are a miracle on his infomercials! NO SHAME!

[@blakebunch4485]

Agreed, heartwarming stories aren't helping my 61 year old body. I need practical, implementation; do this, don't do that type information.

[@rob-goodhabitliving5425]

I agree. No actionable take aways

[@williamwells1862]

Yeah, golf balls aerogynamic. Balls are not.

[@williamwells1862]

People on Testosterone deprivation gain weight and have no energy. Fix dat.

[@psychiedog1]

a waste of time, never says what to do to make it better

[@echaven2654]

This is a promotion.

[@williamwells1862]

Yeah, Balls to the wall.

[@williamwells1862]

Eat less silly.
