About this listen

 The Performance Blueprint is where science meets the soul, and performance extends beyond the body. Hosted by Alan Wiederhold, this podcast explores what it truly means to optimize your health, relationships, and purpose.

Each week, Alan sits down with doctors, scientists, biohackers, entrepreneurs, husbands, and fathers who are rewriting the rules of high performance.

Together, they uncover the hidden blind spots in medicine, the rituals that sustain longevity, the brotherhoods that forge resilience, and the deeper “why” that powers it all. This is not a commercial. It’s a celebration of the human experience that all men understand, the pursuit of a life that is strong in body, connected in relationships, and anchored in purpose. Whether you’re chasing peak performance, building lasting wealth, or navigating fatherhood, this show offers a blueprint for living, loving, and leading with clarity.

  • The Hormone Blind Spot: Longevity, Mental Health, and What Doctors Still Miss with Dr. Larry Zuccolotto

    The Hormone Blind Spot: Longevity, Mental Health, and What Doctors Still Miss with Dr. Larry Zuccolotto
    Jan 28 2026
    What if feeling tired, foggy, or burned out isn’t a mindset problem, but a biological one? In this episode of The Performance Blueprint, Alan sits down with Larry Zuccolotto, a physician with over 30 years of experience in hormones, longevity, and lifestyle medicine. They explore why so many men and women are told their labs are “normal” while their bodies say otherwise and how hormonal shifts, environment, and chronic stress quietly impact mental health, energy, mood, and performance. This conversation covers:
    • Andropause, menopause, and mental health
    • Why standard lab ranges often miss the real issue
    • Burnout, brain fog, and aging well
    • Longevity hype vs. what actually works
    • Training, recovery, and purpose in the second half of life
    This isn’t about biohacking extremes or quick fixes.
    It’s about listening to your body, questioning outdated systems, and building sustainable performance that lasts. If you’re navigating midlife, burnout, or a quiet sense that something feels off, this episode is for you.
