Women over 40 are the most understudied population in modern medicine. In this powerful and overdue conversation, Darin sits down with Dr. Amy Shah to unpack the massive blind spots in women's health — from perimenopause and menopause to cortisol shifts, brain fog, gut bacteria collapse, muscle loss, and the social isolation epidemic affecting women in midlife. Dr. Shah reveals why hormone labs often don't tell the full story, why 95% of Americans are fiber deficient, how fermented foods regulate inflammation, and why morning sunlight may be one of the most powerful hormone resets available — and it's free. This episode is more than symptom management. It's a blueprint for reclaiming power during one of the most misunderstood transitions in a woman's life. What You'll Learn Why women weren't required in medical research until 1993 How perimenopause is diagnosed by symptoms — not lab tests The hormonal cascade: hypothalamus → pituitary → ovaries → whole-body effects Why fiber is the missing hormone regulator The 30-30-3 framework: protein, fiber & fermented foods The estrobolome and how gut bacteria regulate estrogen Why cortisol sensitivity increases during perimenopause The circadian reset protocol: morning light & nighttime boundaries Why recovery becomes more important than high-intensity stress The female friendship effect & oxytocin biology Hormone therapy myths — and what the research actually shows Why menopause may actually be a leadership upgrade Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome back Dr. Amy Shah 00:00:29 – Novelty, brain aging & why time "speeds up" 00:02:03 – The hormone cascade: hypothalamus, pituitary & endocrine signaling 00:03:39 – The most understudied population in medicine: women over 40 00:04:11 – Women excluded from research until 1993 00:05:06 – Ambien example: why women metabolize drugs differently 00:08:14 – Cultural silence around menopause 00:09:48 – Anxiety, palpitations, carpal tunnel: unrecognized hormone symptoms 00:11:17 – Gut-brain connection & why nutrition is medicine 00:15:11 – The 30-30-3 method explained 00:16:10 – Why fiber drops during perimenopause 00:17:23 – Simple fiber sources that extend longevity 00:19:00 – Fermented foods & lowering inflammation 00:21:01 – Why Americans lost fermented foods 00:22:26 – Circadian biology: every cell runs on light 00:23:46 – Morning sunlight & hormone regulation 00:26:25 – Late-night eating & insulin resistance 00:28:20 – Cortisol spikes in perimenopause 00:29:41 – Why high achievers crash in midlife 00:31:11 – Walking as cortisol-lowering exercise 00:32:24 – Why hormone labs don't show perimenopause 00:33:38 – Key symptoms: sleep, fat redistribution, brain fog 00:35:24 – The estrobolome: gut bacteria & estrogen recycling 00:36:30 – Gut bacteria change within three days 00:38:38 – Andropause vs menopause differences 00:41:21 – Hormone therapy: what's proven & what's misunderstood 00:44:53 – Peak bone & muscle before 30 00:46:02 – Exercise for longevity vs punishment 00:47:55 – The community & oxytocin effect 00:49:49 – Female friendship & cortisol reduction 00:52:18 – Intergenerational connection & health 00:57:05 – Gut bacteria & proximity effect 01:00:24 – The Grandmother Hypothesis 01:02:15 – Menopause as leadership evolution 01:04:28 – You can build muscle, brain & bone at any age 01:05:16 – Rewriting the narrative for women's health Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Shakeology – Shakeology-All in One Nutrition: Get 15% off with code SUPERLIFE at Shakeology.com.

It's a biological transition that requires new inputs, more recovery, more fiber, more protein, more community, more light. When women understand what's happening inside their bodies, they stop thinking they're "falling apart", and start stepping into power.

In this Your Health University episode, Jamie sits down with Nurse Practitioner, Brooke Howard, President of Clinical Operations, to talk about Biote, wellness, and bioidentical hormone optimization—and why it has been life-changing for both of them. Brooke shares how a trusted colleague pushed her to look deeper when she was exhausted, gaining weight, and “holding it together by a thread.” Jamie opens up about anxiety, ADD medication, and how feeling hormonally balanced gave him the confidence to step into a new chapter. This conversation is for anyone who feels “off,” has been told their labs are “normal,” and wants to explore a more complete picture of wellness. www.YourHealth.Org

Are you feeling more tired, anxious, or “off” in midlife — and wondering what's really going on? What if it's not just stress or aging, but a deeper hormonal shift affecting your entire body? Midlife doesn't have to feel like everything is slowing down. In this powerful episode, longevity and anti‑aging expert Dr. Sofia Din joins Anthony Hartcher to unpack “the pause” — the hormonal shift that impacts both women (perimenopause & menopause) and men (andropause). Dr. Din explains why this phase affects energy, sleep, metabolism, mood, gut health, libido, skin, immunity, and cognitive clarity — and why modern medicine often overlooks the deeper root causes. You'll learn: ✨ What menopause really is (beyond reproductive changes) ✨ Why men also experience a hormonal pause ✨ How hormonal shifts affect every system in the body ✨ Why anxiety, weight changes & fatigue are so common in midlife ✨ The role of HRT, peptides & regenerative medicine ✨ The impact of gut health after age 50 ✨ Smart lifestyle habits to support healthspan and vitality ✨ Healthy alternatives to alcohol for managing perimenopausal anxiety Dr. Din also shares her holistic approach to helping clients move from pause back into flow, while supporting longevity, strength, and wellbeing. About Dr. Sofia DinDr. Sofia Din, MD, is a New York–based, board-certified family physician with 25+ years of experience and specialized training in geriatrics and hospital medicine. After years of treating chronic disease, she shifted toward proactive health optimization—focusing on longevity, hormone balance, regenerative and aesthetic medicine.Trained in both Pakistan and the United States, Dr. Din blends Eastern and Western approaches to help patients take agency over how they age. She is the author of Do We Really Need Botox? and is passionate about empowering people to extend their healthspan, beautyspan, and vitality.
Are Psychopaths As Dangerous As The Legal System Believes? For decades, judicial systems in North America have been using formal assessments to identify these psychopathic individuals. Scoring high on these tests can lead to harsher sentencing and exclusion from rehabilitation programs based on the controversial belief that such inmates cannot be changed. However, our expert pushes back against these procedures and discusses what modern research is revealing about psychopathy.

Moins connue que la ménopause, l'andropause est une période au cours de laquelle la sécrétion de testostérone diminue chez l'homme. Baisse de la libido, fatigue, augmentation du risque cardiovasculaire, irritabilité, augmentation du tour de taille… Les symptômes de l'andropause sont nombreux. Contrairement à la ménopause qui touche toutes les femmes, l'andropause n'affecte qu'une faible proportion d'hommes âgés. Comment se fait le diagnostic ? Quelle prise en charge existe ? Si, du côté des femmes, les effets et ressentis associés à la ménopause sont abordés plus ouvertement qu'il y a quelques années, chez les hommes, l'andropause reste encore largement méconnue et rarement évoquée publiquement. Pourtant, les changements hormonaux liés au vieillissement impliquent un certain nombre de conséquences pour la santé et le bien-être des hommes. La baisse du taux de testostérone peut entraîner de multiples symptômes. Andropause : ménopause au masculin ? Certains spécialistes (urologue, endocrinologue, andrologue...) peuvent orienter le patient vers des analyses pour évaluer le taux de testostérone sanguin. La chute des androgènes peut provoquer une série de symptômes tels que des troubles de la fonction érectile, une baisse de la libido, une prise de poids, des troubles de l'humeur et du sommeil… Alors si certains symptômes se retrouvent chez l'homme et la femme, passé un certain âge, ménopause et andropause se distinguent par un simple fait : son caractère systématique chez la femme, autour de la cinquantaine (avec l'arrêt des règles, qui annonce la fin de la fonction reproductrice), quand, chez l'homme, ce déficit d'hormones sexuelles mâles lié à l'âge n'est pas systématique. En finir avec le non-dit La prise en charge de l'andropause repose sur des mesures hygiéno-diététiques : activité physique, alimentation équilibrée, baisse de la consommation d'alcool... Pour certains hommes, une supplémentation en testostérone pourra être prescrite, associée à un suivi médical. D'où l'importance de dépasser le tabou : oser en parler, pour trouver, si besoin, des solutions auprès d'un spécialiste.

Un reportage de Raphaëlle Constant. ► En fin d'émission, nous faisons un point sur l'étude de l'Inserm à Paris, publiée dans The Journal of the American College of Cardiology qui fait état du fardeau que représente l'hypertension artérielle en Afrique subsaharienne.

Around the world, we're seeing declining sperm counts, rising infertility, more erectile dysfunction, and lower testosterone—even in younger men. These trends aren't just affecting family planning; they're pointing to something much bigger happening in men's health. Joining me today on The Dr. Hyman Show is Dr. Michael Eisenberg, a Stanford researcher and leading voice in male reproductive health. We talk about why sperm quality matters far beyond fertility—and how everyday health choices quietly shape it. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. [YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL] We cover: • Why sperm quality may be one of the strongest early indicators of overall health and longevity • How metabolic dysfunction, belly fat, and low testosterone impact fertility and sexual function • The role environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors play in declining sperm counts • What men can do right now to protect fertility and long-term vitality When we look at fertility through the lens of whole-body health, it changes how we think about prevention, risk, and longevity. Male fertility isn't just about reproduction. It's a signal. Register for The Ultra Learning Series: Functional Fertility on Thursday, February 12 at 12PM ET here.

Anne Ghesquière reçoit Thelma Linet, gynécologue obstétricienne et enseignante. La ménopause est-elle vraiment une fatalité ? Pourquoi cette période de transition reste-t-elle encore si taboue, mal comprise et souvent source de souffrance silencieuse ? Bouffées de chaleur, fatigue intense, brouillard mental, anxiété, douleurs articulaires, perte de désir… et si ces symptômes n'étaient pas « normaux », mais les signaux d'une carence hormonale à écouter autrement ? La Dre Thelma Linet bouscule les idées reçues et offre un regard neuf et éclairant pour redonner aux femmes pouvoir, choix et liberté. Épisode #661Quelques citations du podcast avec la Dre Thelma Linet :"La ménopause n'est pas un phénomène naturel au sens bon pour la santé.""Il y a un écart complet entre l'âge qu'on a dans sa tête et l'âge qu'on a dans ses os et dans ses muscles.""On a cette sensation de ne pas être soi-même dans cette période parce qu'on se reconnaît peu ou pas."Recevez chaque semaine l'inspirante newsletter Métamorphose par Anne GhesquièreDécouvrez Objectif Métamorphose, notre programme en 12 étapes pour partir à la rencontre de soi-même.Suivez nos RS : Insta, Facebook & TikTokAbonnez-vous sur Apple Podcast / Spotify / Deezer / CastBox / YoutubeSoutenez Métamorphose en rejoignant la Tribu MétamorphoseThèmes abordés lors du podcast avec la Dre Thelma Linet :00:00Introduction01:30 L'invitée03:15 La ménopause, un sujet récent05:38 La ménopause est-elle bonne pour la santé ?08:28 Andropause / ménopause11:05 Les premiers symptômes14:11 Quarantaine et pré-ménopause16:02 La montée d'anxiété et d'agressivité18:38 La carence hormonale21:28 Le traitement hormonal : un choix24:34 Dépression et carence hormonale27:50 Cinquantaine et temps pour soi29:49 Le rôle du follicule34:08 Faut-il faire un bilan hormonal ?37:52 La prise en charge la plus efficace39:24 Perte musculaire, osseuse : les dernières études42:55 Les syndromes génitaux44:16 La descente d'organes45:53 Quelles solutions naturelles ?52:08 Le traitement hormonal est-il dangereux ?55:45 Bénéfices / risques57:04 Sous quelle forme prendre le traitement hormonal ?01:00:08 Quelle fréquence ?01:01:10 Quelle durée ?01:06:07 Une nouvelle approche01:13:34 La question du suivi01:15:25 Traitement hormonal et fin de certains symptômes01:20:10 Ménopause et génétique01:22:56 Les nouveaux traitements01:24:58 La sécheresse des yeuxAvant-propos et précautions à l'écoute du podcast Photo © Astrid di Crollalanza Hébergé par Acast.

Taboo to Truth: Unapologetic Conversations About Sexuality in Midlife
Pre-order 'The Bedroom Gap' here: https://mariasophoclesmd.com/bookIf you think menopause is tough. Wait until it collides with andropause. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Maria Sophocles to talk about what she calls “The Bedroom Gap”. I wanted this conversation because I see how often couples drift apart in midlife, not from lack of love, but from lack of understanding and communication. We talk about what really changes in women's bodies during menopause and in men's bodies during andropause. We dig into pain, erectile changes, loss of desire, and why avoiding sex often creates more damage than addressing it directly. We focus on how couples can stay connected by redefining sex, learning together, and talking honestly.In This Episode:00:00 Menopause Meets Andropause02:10 Introducing the Bedroom Gap05:40 How Midlife Body Changes Affect Sex09:15 Why Couples Stop Talking About Intimacy13:00 Pain, Erectile Changes, and Sexual Avoidance17:10 Redefining Sex Beyond Intercourse20:45 Pleasure, Health, and Longevity24:20 How to Start Hard Conversations About Sex28:10 What Supportive Partners Do Differently31:40 Overlooked Menopause and Andropause Symptoms34:30 Final Takeaways and Book MentionWant a deeper look?

"In general, knowledge is power, and the more equipped we are with the tools we need, the better off we are. At a networking event, there were women who wish they knew about perimenopause, that it can be 10 years, and that it can impact mental health. Now I know, and I want me to tell my generation." —Lauren Tetenbaum Some moments in life flip a switch and make our bodies feel unfamiliar. A quiet shift shows up in our mood, sleep, energy, or reactions, and it becomes clear that something deeper deserves attention.

Moins connue que la ménopause, l'andropause est une période au cours de laquelle la sécrétion de testostérone diminue chez l'homme. Baisse de la libido, fatigue, augmentation du risque cardiovasculaire, irritabilité, augmentation du tour de taille… Les symptômes de l'andropause sont nombreux. Contrairement à la ménopause qui touche toutes les femmes, l'andropause n'affecte qu'une faible proportion d'hommes âgés. Comment se fait le diagnostic ? Quelle prise en charge existe ? Si, du côté des femmes, les effets et ressentis associés à la ménopause sont abordés plus ouvertement qu'il y a quelques années, chez les hommes, l'andropause reste encore largement méconnue et rarement évoquée publiquement. Pourtant, les changements hormonaux liés au vieillissement impliquent un certain nombre de conséquences pour la santé et le bien-être des hommes. La baisse du taux de testostérone peut entraîner de multiples symptômes. Andropause : ménopause au masculin ? Certains spécialistes (urologue, endocrinologue, andrologue...) peuvent orienter le patient vers des analyses pour évaluer le taux de testostérone sanguin. La chute des androgènes peut provoquer une série de symptômes tels que des troubles de la fonction érectile, une baisse de la libido, une prise de poids, des troubles de l'humeur et du sommeil… Alors si certains symptômes se retrouvent chez l'homme et la femme, passé un certain âge, ménopause et andropause se distinguent par un simple fait : son caractère systématique chez la femme, autour de la cinquantaine (avec l'arrêt des règles, qui annonce la fin de la fonction reproductrice), quand, chez l'homme, ce déficit d'hormones sexuelles mâles lié à l'âge n'est pas systématique. En finir avec le non-dit La prise en charge de l'andropause repose sur des mesures hygiéno-diététiques : activité physique, alimentation équilibrée, baisse de la consommation d'alcool... Pour certains hommes, une supplémentation en testostérone pourra être prescrite, associée à un suivi médical. D'où l'importance de dépasser le tabou : oser en parler, pour trouver, si besoin, des solutions auprès d'un spécialiste.

Join Dr. Mia for a clear, engaging breakdown of andropause—what it is, how it differs from menopause, and why it often goes unnoticed in men for years. She dives into early warning signs, key lab tests, the impact of sleep, stress, and strength training, and how nutrition, body composition, and lifestyle habits shape men's hormonal health. Dr. Mia also unpacks the role of relationships, emotional well-being, and when testosterone therapy may be appropriate. A must-listen for anyone wanting to better understand male vitality, aging, and long-term wellbeing.
Hot flashes aren't the whole story. We sit down with Kaya Health clinicians Diane and Sierra for frank, science‑rooted talk about perimenopause, menopause, and andropause—and why so many of us feel “off” even when our labs say “normal.” If weight creeps up despite clean eating, sleep breaks at 2 a.m., or your moods swing without warning, you'll learn what those symptoms signal and how to respond with smarter, safer care.We break down what changes in the 40s versus the 50s, and why both estrogen highs and lows can feel confusingly similar. You'll hear why bioidentical hormones are not the same as synthetics, how progesterone can calm night sweats and anxiety. We unpack pellet therapy pros and cons, outline safer dose‑adjustable options, and explain how delivery methods like topical estradiol can lower clot risk. For anyone with complex histories—including clots or cancer—we discuss risk‑aware paths, shared decision‑making, and why being heard matters.Men, you're in this too. Andropause brings a slow slide in testosterone that affects energy, libido, body composition, and brain clarity—and yes, you need some estrogen for cardiovascular protection. This is prevention, not vanity: better sleep before weight loss, nutrient‑dense food before pills, movement and muscle to protect longevity, and targeted bioidentical hormones to restore function, not chase youth. If you've felt dismissed by eight‑minute visits and “everything looks normal,” this conversation offers a roadmap to care that treats the person, not just the paper.
Ab Mitte 40. sinkt bei vielen Männern der Hormonspiegel und das Testosteron lässt nach. Häufig spricht man dann von der sogenannten Andropause. Doch während Frauen klar definierte Wechseljahre durchlaufen, ist der männliche Hormonwandel weit weniger eindeutig. Was steckt also hinter dieser männlichen Menopause? Peter Dietz gibt Antworten. Er ist Facharzt für Gynäkologie und spezialisiert auf Endokrinologie und Anti-Aging-Medizin.
In this episode, host K. Wilkes is joined by Dr. Alan Kelton, a board-certified physician specializing in Internal Medicine to discuss andropause — often referred to as male menopause.Dr. Kelton explains what andropause is, how it differs from female menopause, and why testosterone decline and hypogonadism can have such a profound impact on men's health. The conversation explores common symptoms such as fatigue, loss of libido, mood changes, and decreased energy, while emphasizing the importance of lifestyle changes, sleep, and nutrition in maintaining hormone balance.This episode also addresses widespread misconceptions about andropause and highlights the role of medical awareness and support systems in helping men navigate this stage of life. Dr. Kelton offers practical insights and encourages open communication with healthcare providers for those experiencing changes in hormonal health.Whether you're experiencing these changes yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical insights and encourages men to seek medical advice and proactive care.

What if one day you woke up and felt like a stranger in your own body—but no one ever warned you it could happen? We're in the middle of a series on menopause. In the last episode, we discussed the emotional and mental impact and how it works in the brain and body, and shared some stories from real people on the issue. This time we're talking about an even more taboo subject: andopause, sometimes called male menopause. I think we'll get some insight on this. It's not just a medical phenomenon but a cultural blind spot. Let's start again with some true stories: Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/428
In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Lounsbury, Certified Lifestyle, Wellness, & Menopause Coach, to talk about a topic most people haven't even heard of: andropause. We've all heard of menopause, but men experience a similar transition as testosterone levels decline with age. For farmers, this can show up in subtle but significant ways: lower energy, mood changes, or shifts in stamina that affect not just work in the field, but also relationships at home. Lisa helps us understand how to recognize the difference between "just getting older" and the signs of andropause, why grumpiness often has a deeper root, and how ignoring these symptoms can quietly erode both health and harmony on the farm. Together, we explore practical ways to manage these changes, from diet and resistance training to stress management and better sleep. Lisa also shares why making wellness a priority is not only about personal vitality, but about protecting relationships, improving communication, and thriving in the demanding seasons of farm life. If you've ever wondered why someone you love seems more irritable, or you're noticing changes in your own energy and outlook, this conversation offers hope, tools, and a fresh perspective.

Dr Leah Hechtman, one of Australia's most respected naturopathic educators, joins fx Medicine by BioCeuticals ambassador Emma Sutherland to discuss the often-overlooked stage of men's health: andropause. More than simply “low testosterone,” andropause reflects age-related changes including Leydig cell decline, metabolic changes, vascular shifts, and neurological alterations that shape male wellbeing across the lifespan. Leah outlines how andropause may present in practice, from body composition changes and hair greying to mood shifts, sleep disruption, prostate dysfunction, and reduced cognitive performance. She highlights the importance of comprehensive testing — extending beyond testosterone — to include oestrogen, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), insulin, leptin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and DUTCH hormone analysis. These insights allow clinicians to identify early signs and develop a more complete picture of male ageing. The discussion also explores strategies that may support resilience, including optimising sleep, managing stress, and addressing metabolic health. Useful complementary medicines include nutritional considerations such as nicotinamide riboside, bioflavonoids, and zinc, as well as herbal medicines including ginkgo, grape seed extract, ashwagandha, and tribulus. The role of prostate health and testosterone therapy is also discussed. Covered in this episode: (01:01) Welcome Leah Hechtman (02:22) What is andropause?

What every man MUST know - But doesn't! With Dr. Rachel Taylor (Part 2) The Black Spy Podcast, Season 20, Episode 0002 In this week's, episode 2, of The Black Spy Podcast, regarding the male menopause Dr. Rachel Taylor and Carlton King delve into this often-overlooked subject of the male menopause, or andropause. As with last week the two explain why their forthcoming book on the issue, should be read by all men and their life partners as the male of our species reaches their 4 decade. Their book highlights how the Andropause, characterized by a gradual decline in testosterone levels, can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, reduced libido, and cognitive changes. However, despite its significant impact on men's health, male menopause remains under-discussed in both media and society. While female menopause has garnered increasing attention and support, including workplace policies and public health initiatives, the male menopause is frequently dismissed or misunderstood. The podcast discusses how this disparity may stem from societal expectations that men should remain stoic and unaffected by aging, leading many to suffer in silence. In these episodes Dr Rachel and Carlton go on to discuss that the implications of unaddressed male menopause are particularly concerning when considering elderly male leaders in positions of power. Symptoms such as impaired decision-making, irritability, and decreased energy levels can affect leadership capabilities, potentially leading to detrimental outcomes in governance and policy-making. The gradual nature of testosterone decline means these changes can go unnoticed, further exacerbating the issue. Dr. Taylor and King emphasize the need for increased awareness and open dialogue about male menopause. They advocate for comprehensive research and support systems to address this condition, highlighting the importance of recognizing andropause as a legitimate health concern. By shedding light on this topic, their book and these episodes call for a reevaluation of how society perceives and supports men's health as they age. In summary, The Black Spy Podcast brings critical attention to issues of the male menopause, challenging societal norms and advocating for greater recognition and support for aging men. The discussion underscores the potential risks of neglecting this issue, particularly among leaders, and calls for a more inclusive approach to health and aging. As always, please don't be afraid to contact us and put any questions you might have regarding this issue and any other to any of the Black Spy Podcast team.

Tara sits down with one of her mentors, Dr. Daved Rosensweet, to have an important conversation about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and why so many women are left in the dark when it comes to their options. Dr. Rosensweet has been at the forefront of bioidentical hormone therapy for years, and in this episode, he shares his deep expertise on how to approach HRT safely and effectively. They break down the fears and misconceptions that have prevented countless women from getting the support they need and discuss why personalized hormone therapy should be the standard—not the exception. Whether you're currently using HRT, considering it, or just want a better understanding of your options, this episode is a must-listen. Key Talking Points Why hormones matter—they're not just about reproductive health, but essential for brain function, bone strength, and overall vitality. The shocking truth about declining hormone levels—they start dropping in your 20s and never stop. How misinformation about hormone therapy has kept women suffering needlessly. The Women's Health Initiative study—how it wrongly created fear around hormones and what the real science says. Bioidentical vs. synthetic hormones—why the form of hormones you use makes a massive difference. When to start hormone therapy—(hint: the earlier, the better). The importance of individualized dosing—why one-size-fits-all approaches don't work. How to find a knowledgeable provider who truly understands hormone therapy.
