Summary
On episode 319 of 40+ Fitness, Coach Allan sits down with Dr. Michael Galitzer, a nationally recognized expert on energy medicine and integrative medicine who also works in hormone replacement therapy, and the author of Outstanding Health: A Longevity Guide for Staying Young, Healthy, and Sexy for the Rest of Your Life.
Dr. Galitzer argues that most people quietly aim for “okay” health when what they actually want is outstanding health, the kind that produces real energy and real longevity. He walks through his six essentials: emotional mastery, cleansing and drainage, gut health, an energized lifestyle, energy medicine diagnostics, and hormonal balance.
The conversation covers practical energy boosters like high-intensity interval training and deep breathing, the often-overlooked danger of EMF exposure and mercury fillings, and why he treats the adrenals, not the thyroid, as the most overlooked hormone problem in his practice.

Key Takeaways
- Aim for outstanding health, not just the absence of illness. Dr. Galitzer says most people would not want to live to 100 if it meant being in a wheelchair. Outstanding health, not mere survival, is what actually produces longevity.
- Daily energy boosters are simple and well proven. High-intensity interval exercise, slow deep breathing (inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4), meditation, and prioritizing sleep are the core everyday tools he recommends before anything more advanced.
- EMF exposure and mercury fillings quietly drain your energy. Mercury in the presence of saliva creates electrical currents that get amplified by cell phones and computers, disrupting sleep. He recommends unplugging Wi-Fi at night and keeping the bedroom electrically quiet.
- Emotional mastery comes down to purpose, passion, and gratitude. He says most physicians never have time to address the mental-emotional side of health, but focusing on what you have (not what you lack) and aligning with your purpose is foundational to healing.
- Detox only works after drainage. The liver, kidneys, and lymph system must be opened up first, or toxins released during a cleanse, colonic, or infrared sauna session have nowhere to go and people actually get sicker.
- Leaky gut is driven mainly by gluten and pesticides. When the tight junctions between intestinal cells break down, partially digested food and toxins leak into the body and overload the liver, so he recommends going 100 percent gluten-free, not just “mostly.”
- The body has a measurable energetic layer beyond a standard blood test. Tools like heart rate variability and bioimpedance testing can reveal sluggish organs and nervous system dysfunction that routine labs miss entirely.
- Adrenal fatigue is the most overlooked hormone problem. Putting a fatigued patient on thyroid medication before addressing their adrenals can actually make their fatigue worse; he considers the liver and adrenals the two most important areas to check first.
- Insulin, thyroid, and adrenal hormones are the true “major” hormones. Bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone get the spotlight, but Dr. Galitzer says balancing insulin, thyroid, and adrenal function has to come first before bioidentical hormone replacement will work well.
“If you try to attempt to do detox, colonics, or chelation, or infrared saunas without drainage, people will get sicker.”
