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

from Santa Cruz Medicinals Radio · host Brendan

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.👇 Learn more from Dr. Hotch:https://www.instagram.com/drhotch/?hl=en► 🔗 https://stan.store/santacruzmedicinalsDisclaimer: This video is does not provide professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.Subscribe and follow the life of Santa Cruz Medicinals helping people get healthy!Edited by Nick Thompson https://www.redrootsfilms.com
