I love Dr. Denise's focus on restoring quality of life and normalizing that there's no normal in sexual function and desires for men. Instead of a disease-centered approach that puts a diagnosis in the spotlight, focusing on getting back to enjoying life with a personal approach. Dr. Denise Asafu-Adjei is a urologist with subspecialty training in sexual dysfunction and male infertility. She completed a Fellowship in Andrology at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). She will be joining the Urology Department at Loyola University in Chicago as the Medical Director of Male Reproductive Medicine. We cover topics like: The reason why men don't seek out healthcare as often as women do Penis-performance and other cultural expectations Ultrasound and traction device therapy for Peyronie's disease When you have a concern, the first step is finding a provider you trust to get reliable and accurate answers to your questions. Men tend to be less proactive in scheduling routine appointments with physicians and face social and cultural messages that can be constraining, misleading, and create fear around going to the doctor for sexual health concerns. Because it's not openly discussed, concerns and underlying causes may go untreated for years. In my practice I see a gap in access to care, trust in the medical community, and not knowing when and who to schedule an appointment with when sexual health concerns arise. In Dr. Denise's practice, she has seen patients struggling to talk about their sexual health and that many physicians aren't comfortable talking about sex.

Even though men contribute to more than 50% of instances of infertility, there is not the same culture around male fertility testing as there is around female fertility testing. Here to discuss this and many other topics around male reproductive health and fertility is the esteemed Dr. Natan Bar-Chama, Director of the Center of Male Reproductive Health at RMA of New York. He is a board-certified urologist and male infertility specialist and his practice is dedicated to the fields of male infertility and sexual medicine. He has published extensively and lectured throughout the world on these topics. Since 2005, Dr. Bar-Chama has been listed in New York Magazine’s Best Doctor list of urologists. In this episode, we discuss some of the positive changes around fertility testing which have been brought about by the pandemic. When men feel more at ease, they are more likely to get tested. Dr. Bar-Chama discusses what semen analysis entails and explains the process that would follow after receiving irregular results. Lifestyle impacts sperm tremendously and as Dr. Bar-Chama points out, research shows it also impacts children's health. Our conversation also touches on how Dr. Bar-Chama makes his patients feel comfortable through education and testing, some sperm-related myth-busting, and the aspects of your lifestyle that impact sperm. Male infertility issues are starting to become more openly spoken about, but we still have a way to go. We hope this discussion creates a space for these challenges to be addressed more openly.

Did you think that only women underwent Menopause. Well men do that too and it's called Manopause or Late Onset Hypogonadism (LOH). As we age men undergo certain changes and one of them is lowering of testosterone. Research finds out that this lack of testosterone can suck the marrow out of your life by increasing lethargy, grumpiness and boredom and reducing your performance between the sheets and even your height. Now all this is reversible if we keep our youth nourished and upto mark. Ranjith Ramasamy is the Director of Male Reproductive Medicine and Surgery as well as an Associate Professor in the Department of Urology at the University of Miami in Florida and in this episode with leading andrologist and host Dr. Raman Tanwar, he shares his experience with late onset hypogonadism or Manopause. If you have symptoms like decrease in libido, lack of energy, decrease in strength and/or endurance, loss of height, decreased "enjoyment of life", Feeling sad and/or grumpy?, poor erections, recent deterioration in your ability to play sports, falling asleep after dinner or recent deterioration in your work performance then its time you got your Testosterone checked too. The symptoms that we've mentioned here are those of Manopause and the decrease in testosterone is what is responsible for most of it in many cases. Luckily if identified this condition can be controlled with supplementation with Testosterone, but it needs to be in the right dose and by the right expert with the right monitoring. Also this condition unlike menopause is not inevitable. Manopause can be prevented by lifestyle change early on and in this episode we will discuss all that and more.

One of the biggest crises in health right now is the low levels of sperm count and fertility in young men, and the question of what the clinical community can do about it. Why are we experiencing such a decline in the reproductive potential of men who should be in their prime? Does testosterone therapy need to be at super-therapeutic levels all the time? How can men on testosterone therapy still maintain their fertility? On this episode, I’m joined by the Director of Male Reproductive Medicine and Surgery at the University of Miami, Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, who talks about how to improve the reproductive health of men.  Four Takeaways  The reasons we’re experiencing low sperm count in young men are obesity, environmental influences, stress, and social media.  Short-acting testosterone is better for fertility and reproductive potential because it mimics the body’s natural pulsativity.  The reason testosterone therapy affects fertility and blocks metagenesis is because if it’s used over a long term, it blocks FSH and LH.   The restorative protocol for people who took supra-physiological doses of testosterone for long periods of time is HCG and clomiphene to jumpstart testosterone and sperm production.    At the start of the show, Dr. Ramasamy shared how he got started, and what’s causing the crisis in male fertility right now. Next, we talked about why the biggest battle in the clinical optimization space is misinformation, and why it’s equally important to educate consumers as much doctors. We also talked about why faster-acting testosterone is better for improving fertility, and why the insurance-attached prescribing community is so afraid of testosterone.    We also discussed:  Where the fear of men taking estrogen comes from  How to restore sperm and testosterone production  Why doctors should not be dismissive  Risks of phlebotomy    For the last few decades, testosterone therapy has opted for long-acting preparations, but the problem is that it has impacted the reproductive potential of many men. When it comes to fertility, maintaining testicular size, and reproductive potential, the pendulum has to swing back to a shorter acting form to mimic the body’s natural physiology. That way, we can help men boost fertility and improve their health.
