What if everything you thought you knew about “getting older” was wrong?

On this invigorating episode of Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable, co-hosts Susan Robbins and Kate King dive into the heart of men’s health with nationally certified physician associate and Epigenetic Human Performance Coach, Richard Gamiz. Together, they tackle the silent epidemic of declining testosterone and how environmental factors, lifestyle, and even outdated medical philosophies are shaping a generation of men who feel stuck, overlooked, and under-supported.

If you’ve ever wondered why the standard healthcare approach leaves so many feeling unseen, or if you're ready to discover how personalized, data-driven wellness can reignite motivation, performance, and lifelong vitality, this candid and empowering conversation is for you.

In this episode, you’ll hear real talk about:

• The alarming drop in men’s testosterone levels, and why it matters at every age
• Common myths and cultural barriers that keep men trapped in shame and inertia
• How advanced genetic testing and biomarker analysis are unlocking elite wellness
• The ripple effect: Why men’s health is about so much more than sex drive
• Actionable strategies for optimizing hormones, rejuvenating relationships, and future-proofing your health (including the supplements and lifestyle shifts that really work!)

Plus, Susan, Kate, and Richard share personal stories, challenge conventional wisdom, and break down what it takes to truly own your epic life, starting now. Whether you’re a man ready for change, someone who loves one, or just curious about the power of epigenetics, this episode will inspire you to think bigger, dig deeper, and take charge of your health story.

Fear is part of being human, but what happens when it quietly runs the show?

In this raw, eye-opening episode of Everyday Epigenetics, Susan Robbins and Kate King dive headfirst into the many faces of fear: the helpful, the harmful, and the hidden. From sudden panic to the low-grade anxiety we carry every day, they explore how fear impacts your physiology, rewires your brain, and keeps you stuck in survival mode, disconnected from joy, pleasure, and the life you're here to live.

You’ll learn:

• The real difference between fear and anxiety, and why it matters
• How fear can literally reshape your health through chronic inflammation, hormone disruption, and sleep disturbances
• The brain, body, and DNA’s role in your fear response (and what you can do about it)
• How to use breathwork, gratitude, and epigenetic insight to calm your nervous system and build resilience
• Why joy can be terrifying, and how to safely let it back in
  
  

Whether you freeze, fawn, fight, or flee, this conversation will help you understand your default response and give you the tools to reclaim your sense of safety, confidence, and calm.

If you’re ready to stop letting fear make your choices and start living a radiant, full-spectrum life, this episode is for you.
