Starting Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Duhamel shared the pivotal moment he chose to begin testosterone therapy. “I’d been hearing about it for a while, but it wasn’t something openly discussed,” he admitted. “Eventually, I took a personal inventory and realized I wasn’t where I used to be five or ten years ago. After testing revealed my levels were low, I started therapy—and it truly changed my life. I got my energy and drive back.”
For Duhamel, the motivation goes beyond appearance. “It’s more about being present for my kids—rolling around in the dirt with them like I did when I was younger,” he explained. “I had my first child at 40, and another at 52. I want to stay youthful and active for as long as possible.”
Building a Purpose-Driven Brand
Through his company, Gatlan Health, Duhamel hopes to change how men think about wellness. “We’re not just handing out medication,” he said. “We want to help men reevaluate their habits and develop new routines that enhance their overall well-being.”
Redefining Aging and Fatherhood
When asked whether he imagined being this active at his age, Duhamel was humble: “I’m not perfect. I don’t eat right all the time or work out as much as I should. But like many men, I’m trying to hold on—stay vibrant for my children.”
His perspective on longevity also reflects a broader cultural shift. “Younger generations are really focused on health and wellness. While few people reach 100 today, in 20 or 30 years, it might become the norm thanks to advancements in science.”

Living Stronger, Longer
Duhamel emphasized the importance of living a long, active life. “I don’t want to be 100 if I’m bedridden. I want to live longer and stronger—still doing the things I love.”
Family and Relationship Impact
Fatherhood plays a major role in Duhamel’s health journey. “I have a 17-month-old son. Some of my friends think I’m crazy, still changing diapers. But I love it. I want to be present for them physically and emotionally.”
He also noted how testosterone therapy has strengthened his marriage to Audra Mari. “It’s important to stay young and virile, not just physically, but mentally. I have the energy and drive to be a better dad, husband, and business owner. You don’t taper off like you normally would.”
The Difference Therapy Makes
When he stops the therapy, the difference is noticeable. “You feel the drop in energy. It’s harder to retain muscle and keep fat off. The physical and mental changes are real.”
A Belief in the Mission
Duhamel is not just a spokesperson; he’s financially invested in the industry. “We truly believe in this. I care about helping men and women live better lives.”
