Athletes / Fitness
Dr. Gangemi currently works with many athletes in the professional, collegiate, high school, and amateur arena. He advises all his patients on proper exercise for better health, improved fitness, and overall a higher quality of life. Of course, he helps many prepare for races, competition, and performances, and is often sought out when an athlete needs to recover from an injury immediately and/or other forms of care are not providing results. Check out his other site called Sock-Doc – it’s geared more towards athletes.

“The problem with most people is they only care about getting fast, and think that once they get fast, running will get easy. They got it backwards. First focus on getting easy, because if that’s all you get, that ain’t so bad. Once you can run easy, focus on light. Once you get light, focus on smooth. By the time you’re easy, light and smooth, you won’t have to worry about getting fast–you will be.” ~ Caballo Blanco, the “White Horse”
Hi i was wondering if you knew of any ways to fix Gynomacastia. I know that it has to deal with hormones so i thought i would give it a shot and see what you have to say. Thanks Doc!!!!
Yeah that has to do with estrogen balance and typically what happens is that the body is shunting testosterone to estrogen. Check out this new SD post, even though that’s not specifically discussed. Also I just did a new podcast about this with the guys at Trail Runner Nation and I talk about estrogen/testosterone in men. It should be up in a week or so.
