Podcasts about Testosterone

This episode is part of The Best of Habits & Hustle, a series where I revisit some of the most impactful conversations we've shared. In this one, I sit down with Dr. Mary Claire Haver to break down what's happening during perimenopause and menopause and why so many women are left confused and guessing. We get into why estrogen matters far beyond hot flashes, how muscle loss and belly fat accelerate in midlife, and why strength training becomes non-negotiable as women age.  She cuts through the fear and misinformation around hormone therapy, who it's really for, and why women deserve better conversations with their doctors.She also shares a no-BS take on testosterone for women, GLP-1 medications, and why there are no shortcuts if you want to protect muscle, metabolism, and long-term health.  Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a board-certified OB-GYN, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The New Menopause, and founder of The ‘Pause Life. She's become one of the most trusted voices helping women understand what midlife is actually asking of their bodies.

In this episode of The Determined Society, host Shawn French sits down with Dr. David Karli, a renowned physician and entrepreneur in regenerative medicine, to explore the intersection of health, determination, longevity, and the future of medical technology.Dr. Karli opens up about his personal health crisis in his early 40s; including burnout, panic attacks, hormonal imbalance, and the wake-up call that forced him to rethink everything he believed about aging, performance, and medicine. What followed was a complete transformation that reshaped not only his body, but his mindset, career, and mission.Together, they dive into testosterone optimization, mental health in men, the psychology of discipline, and why process, suffering, and systems are unavoidable if you want real change. The conversation expands into cutting-edge regenerative medicine, AI-driven stem cell therapy, and the ethical questions surrounding longevity; including whether living longer actually means living better. Key Takeaways-Hormonal health is foundational to both physical and mental performance-Discipline is doing the work long after motivation fades-True transformation comes from systems, not shortcuts-Longevity without mobility and quality of life is a hollow win-Suffering is not the enemy, it's part of growth-The future of medicine will be personalized, data-driven, and ethically complex Connect with me :https://link.me/theshawnfrench?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY2s9TipS1cPaEZZ9h692pnV-rlsO-lzvK6LSFGtkKZ53WvtCAYTKY7lmQ_aem_OY08g381oa759QqTr7iPGADavid Karlihttps://www.instagram.com/davidkarli/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kick back and enjoy these highlights from the past year as we take a little winter break! The Tyler Robinson rooftop sniper hoax is crumbling after video evidence showing Israel's signature exploding lavalier mic blasting Charlie Kirk's throat, with accomplices snatching the bomb and detonator like pros in a heist. These Mossad monsters, fresh off their pager terrorism, think they can off Americans and have our puppet FBI bury it like JFK— but we're ripping the veil off this demonic plot, patriots, so lock and load for the truth bomb that's gonna make these pedo-perps pay.

Demographer and author Paul Morland joins James Smith to reveal the uncomfortable truth about the problem with population collapse - why falling birth rates are creating aging societies, economic decline and a quiet crisis at the heart of the modern world. Morland explains how a lack of children is reshaping nations, destroying communities and threatening the future of humanity itself. They discuss the myths around “overpopulation,” the cultural shifts stopping people from having families and the real reasons behind the demographic time bomb no one wants to talk about. From housing and technology to feminism and social media, this episode explores how comfort, distraction and misplaced priorities have turned reproduction into a global taboo.

Note: This episodes contains discussion and language of a sexual nature and may not be appropriate for all audiences.In this episode of Marrow Masters, we sit down with Dr. Christian Nelson, a psychologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and an expert in psycho-oncology, to address a deeply personal yet often overlooked topic: male sexual dysfunction following cancer treatment. Together, we explore how treatments can impact not only physical function but emotional well-being, identity, and relationships.We start by acknowledging that sexual dysfunction is one of the most common side effects of cancer treatment, second only to fatigue. Yet, it's rarely discussed. Dr. Nelson emphasizes the importance of normalizing the conversation and encouraging patients to raise the issue with their treatment teams. He walks us through the emotional toll that erectile dysfunction can take on men, noting how it strikes at the core of masculinity and can lead to increased depression, frustration, and a general sense of brokenness. He stresses that it's not just about what happens in the bedroom—erectile issues can spill over into all aspects of a man's life, including his relationship with his partner.Dr. Nelson outlines a range of treatment options, from well-known medications like Viagra to lesser-known but effective methods like penile injections and implants. He breaks down the fear around these options, especially injections, and highlights how pain levels are often far lower than anticipated. Beyond physical treatments, we discuss the emotional and relational work that's often required. One key issue is avoidance—men avoiding sexual situations due to performance anxiety, which can snowball into long-term distance and silence between partners. Dr. Nelson makes it clear: the real risk isn't failure, it's not trying.We also dive into how couples can redefine intimacy. Many men associate sex solely with penetration, while their partners often value closeness and emotional connection more. Dr. Nelson advocates for expanding the sexual repertoire and restoring non-sexual forms of affection, which can be just as meaningful. We talk about the impact of testosterone—how its depletion can lower libido and cause men to unknowingly withdraw from their partners—and how testosterone replacement may be a viable option for some, depending on cancer type and treatment history.As roles shift from caregiver back to partner post-treatment, Dr. Nelson stresses the importance of open communication. He urges couples to work toward understanding each other's perspectives, not convincing each other. He shares an "aha" moment involving a couple who waited five years before seeking help, only to reconnect within three sessions after simply opening the lines of communication. The takeaway: don't wait.We close by pointing listeners toward additional resources, including certified sex therapists and specialized urologists, and Dr. Nelson highlights two key professional directories: SSTAR and AASECT. We're reminded that even the simplest questions—like whether it's okay to kiss your partner—deserve answers. It's on all of us, both patients and providers, to make room for these conversations.More:Episode with Dr. Flores: https://marrowmasters.simplecast.com/episodes/mens-sexual-health-gvhdEpisode with Dr. El Jawahri: https://marrowmasters.simplecast.com/episodes/dr-el-jawahriSSTAR (Society for Sex Therapy and Research) – https://sstarnet.orgAASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists) – https://www.aasect.orgThanks to our Season 19 sponsors, Incyte and Sanofi.https://incyte.com/https://www.sanofi.com/en00:00 - Introduction to Season 19 and Dr. Christian Nelson  01:16 - Normalizing Conversations on Sexual Dysfunction  04:50 - Emotional Toll of Erectile Dysfunction  07:06 - Treatments: Pills, Injections, and Implants  09:03 - Avoidance and Anxiety in Sexual Relationships  12:17 - Expanding the Definition of Intimacy  16:43 - Role of Testosterone in Sexual Health  20:05 - Shifting from Caregiver to Partner  22:17 - Resources and Where to Get Help  26:29 - A Patient Story: Five Years of Silence  28:07 - Closing Thoughts and Resources   National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes on a fear-based narrative that has been circulating widely in the natural health space—claims that supplements are “toxic,” “fake,” or made from alarming industrial sources. Using vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 as the focal point, Jared breaks down where tiny fragments of truth have been exaggerated into misleading conclusions, and why that kind of half-truth can be more dangerous than an outright lie. If you've ever felt confused or alarmed by supplement claims on social media, this episode will help you develop a more grounded, critical framework—one rooted in physiology, context, and practical application rather than ideology or outrage.Products:Vital D3/K2 High PotencyVital D3/K2Buy D-Mannose Powder and get CranActin FREE ($20 value) - Vitality Radio POW!

This episode lays out the blueprint for having healthier children later in life by treating preconception as the most important window for human health. You'll learn why fertility is not just about getting pregnant, but about building the biological foundation that shapes a child's brain development, metabolism, immune function, and long term resilience. This conversation reframes infertility as a meaningful signal to pause, repair, and prepare, instead of something to override or rush past. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Dr. Ann Shippy is a board-certified internal medicine physician, certified functional medicine practitioner, and a leading expert in preconception health and fertility optimization. A former IBM chemical engineer, she brings a rare systems-based and data-driven approach to uncovering the root causes of infertility, chronic disease, and hormonal dysfunction. Through her Austin-based medical practice, she has helped men and women restore fertility naturally and conceive healthy children well into their 40s using advanced lab testing, precision supplements, and targeted functional medicine strategies. Together, Dave Asprey and Dr. Shippy explore why childhood illness and infertility are rising at the same time, and how environmental toxins, mold exposure, microbiome imbalances, sleep disruption, and chronic inflammation undermine fertility in both men and women. They discuss the role of mitochondria, circadian rhythms, thyroid health, testosterone, and epigenetics in reproductive health, and why IVF should not be the first step without addressing underlying biological dysfunction. You'll Learn: • Why preconception matters more than pregnancy for long term child health • How sperm and egg quality act as biological time capsules for future generations • Why infertility functions as a warning signal instead of a random failure • How environmental toxins and mold exposure disrupt fertility and mitochondrial health • The connection between fertility, longevity, and overall human performance • Why sleep, circadian rhythm, and stress strongly influence reproductive hormones • The role of thyroid function and testosterone in fertility and metabolism • When IVF makes sense and why it should not bypass foundational health work Thank you to our sponsors!

Andrew breaks down the science of longevity, the myths around “anti-aging,” and the difference between fundamental research and influencer nonsense. He explains how new medical breakthroughs could help humans live healthier for far longer, but also why the hype around biohacking and “forever pills” is getting dangerously ahead of the science. They explore the ethical, political, and even economic implications of extending human life, from billionaire-funded immortality labs to the fear that longevity could deepen inequality. Andrew reveals what the real science shows about genes, lifestyle, and luck; why exercise is still the best anti-aging treatment we have; and how new drugs like GLP-1 agonists could transform global health and longevity. He explains: ◼️ Why 90% of deaths in rich countries are caused by aging ◼️ The truth about genetic luck vs lifestyle choices ◼️ How longevity drugs could revolutionise healthcare ◼️ Why “anti-ageing” influencers are misleading the public ◼️ The shocking economics of living to 100… or beyond Chapters 00:00 Why Men Die Earlier Than Women 01:31 The Real Problem With Aging 02:36 Separating Longevity Fact From Fiction 05:23 What Your Face Reveals About Health 08:50 How Much Do Genetics Actually Matter? 12:32 Do Weight Loss Drugs Slow Aging? 16:48 The Stigma Of Weight Loss Drugs 19:01 James' Experience Taking Weight Loss Drugs 22:37 Is Taking Ozempic "Cheating"? 27:02 The Reality Of Maintaining Weight Loss 31:26 Why Modern Diets Are Failing 35:26 The Future Of Longevity Medicine 39:36 Will Longevity Increase Retirement Age? 43:01 The Problem With Bryan Johnson's Protocol 46:44 Is Biohacking Just An Eating Disorder? 52:01 The Dangers Of Over-Optimizing Health 56:36 Does Health Anxiety Shorten Lifespan? 01:01:46 The Truth About HRT For Women 01:06:51 Does Testosterone Shorten Men's Lives? 01:12:50 Why Eunuchs Live Longer Than Men 01:17:56 The Philosophy Of Living Forever 01:27:11 The Most Effective Longevity Habits 01:29:56 Does Intermittent Fasting Increase Longevity? 01:38:36 The Most Promising Anti-Aging Drug 01:45:36 The Economic Case For Curing Aging Welcome to "The Problem With" where each week we look into a problem to get a better understanding of it.

What if thousands of men are losing their sexual function treating a cancer that was never going to kill them? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shawn Zimberg — board-certified radiation oncologist and medical director at Advanced Radiation Centers of New York — to unpack the truth about prostate cancer screening, overtreatment, and what every man over 40 needs to know. Dr. Zimberg reveals that the prostate cancer industry has an overtreatment problem — and genomic testing is exposing which tumors need aggressive treatment and which don't. We break down why PSA is broken, why Gleason scores don't tell the full story, and how cadaver studies show men from their 20s to 80s harbor prostate cancer cells that never become clinically significant. We also dive into the science behind radiation therapy, the BioProtect balloon spacer (Dr. Zimberg has performed nearly 2,000 — more than anyone in the world), and the cutting-edge radioligand therapy changing outcomes for stage 4 prostate cancer. If you're a man, love a man, or work with men in health or performance, this is essential listening. About the guest:Dr. Shawn Zimberg is a board-certified radiation oncologist, medical director at Advanced Radiation Centers of New York, and director of radiation oncology at Bronx Care Hospital. He trained at Memorial Sloan Kettering and has pioneered the use of rectal spacer technology in prostate cancer treatment, having performed nearly 2,000 PioProtect balloon procedures — more than any other physician in the world. *** Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/brain-code-yt Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) episode, Peter tackles a wide-ranging set of listener questions spanning lifespan interventions, exercise, cardiovascular risk reduction, time-restricted eating, blood pressure management, hormone therapy, diagnostics, and more. Peter reveals the single most important lever for extending healthspan and lifespan, and explains how he motivates midlife patients using the Centenarian Decathlon framework. He discusses the importance of addressing high apoB and cholesterol even in metabolically healthy individuals with calcium scores of zero, how to manage high blood pressure, and how to accurately evaluate metabolic health beyond HbA1c. Additional topics include time-restricted eating, practical considerations around ultra-processed foods, nuanced approaches to HRT for women and TRT for men, and why early and expanded screening for chronic disease—colonoscopy, PSA, coronary imaging, low-dose CT—can be lifesaving. He also offers insights into treating prediabetes, crafting exercise programs for those short on time, and safely incorporating high-intensity training in older adults.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared welcomes functional medicine dietitian and gut-health expert Lisa Smith for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked systems influencing hormone balance: the estrobolome. If you've never heard that word before, you're not alone — but by the end of this conversation you'll understand why the estrobolome may be the missing link in stubborn hormone symptoms, estrogen dominance, thyroid sluggishness, mood changes, and even men's testosterone challenges. Jared and Lisa break down how gut bacteria influence estrogen detoxification, what beta-glucuronidase is actually doing behind the scenes, why bile flow matters (especially if you don't have a gallbladder), and how fiber, cruciferous vegetables, and targeted nutrients can support healthy hormone metabolism. This is a practical, empowering discussion designed to help you understand root causes rather than chase symptoms. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, PCOS, thyroid issues, mood swings, stubborn weight, or low energy, this episode brings science down to earth with simple, realistic starting points for rebuilding gut balance and restoring hormonal resiliency — naturally and safely.Products:Precision ProbioticLiverVitality EndoCleanseAdditional Information:Pretty Well PodcastInstagramLisa Smith WellnessVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Are you wondering if you need constant blood tests before starting hormone replacement therapy? In this video, we explain hormone replacement therapy for menopause in clear, practical terms, and why excessive lab testing isn't always necessary. At Allure Medical, we treat menopause as a clinical condition, not a lab number. Menopause is defined by symptoms and life stage, not by a single blood test result. You'll learn how we determine whether hormone therapy is appropriate, what bioidentical hormones are, and why we focus on results that actually improve energy, sleep, mood, and quality of life. We also review when lab testing is helpful, such as early menopause, surgical menopause, or cases where symptoms don't improve as expected. By the end of this video, you'll understand how we personalize hormone replacement therapy for menopause to support your long-term health safely and effectively. If you're exploring bioidentical hormone therapy for women, or simply want to understand how menopause is truly evaluated, this guide will give you the clarity you need. Timestamps:00:00 — Introduction: Understanding Menopause and Hormone Therapy 00:20 — Why Most Blood Tests for Menopause Don't Help 01:10 — The Real Definition of Menopause and Perimenopause 02:00 — When Lab Work Is Useful for Diagnosis 03:10 — The Role of Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone 04:00 — How Hormone Levels Affect Symptoms 04:45 — When to Adjust Hormone Therapy Without Testing 05:15 — Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement TherapyLearn More: https://www.alluremedical.com/Books & Research: https://www.alluremedical.com/books/Follow Dr. Charles Mok & Allure Medical: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-mok-4a0432114/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alluremedicals/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AllureMedical TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alluremedicalAmazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Charles-Mok/author/B0791M9FZQInner Circle Membership: https://www.alluremedical.com/inner-circle-membership/Subscribe to the show & leave a 5-star review!#insidethecure

Testosterone is often blamed for fueling prostate cancer but many men never hear that losing it too soon may cause far more harm.In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti challenges long‑held assumptions about Androgen Deprivation Therapy and explains why lowering testosterone rarely delivers the long‑term benefits men are promised. He breaks down how castration therapy, whether through injections, pills, or surgical removal, leads to a rapid decline in vitality: weaker muscles, cognitive slowdown, loss of libido, weight gain, and higher risks of heart disease and dementia.  Through real patient stories and clear clinical reasoning, Dr. Stephen shows how men can stay healthy for years, even with high PSAs, when they resist fear‑driven treatment decisions. He emphasizes the importance of MRI monitoring, thoughtful timing, and avoiding biopsies that create unnecessary risk.  Discover why lowering testosterone fails more men than it helps.

Your fertility might be the canary in your body's coal mine. Urologist Dr. Justin Houman explains why this matters way beyond making babies.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1254What We Discuss with Dr. Justin Houman:Male fertility is a diagnostic window into overall health. Low sperm counts correlate with cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and even earlier mortality. Your reproductive system is essentially sending you a biological memo about the state of your entire body.Varicoceles (varicose veins of the testicles) are one of the most underdiagnosed yet treatable causes of male infertility, low testosterone, and testicular pain. They cause blood to pool and overheat the testicles, and most men never know they have them because general practitioners rarely check for them during routine physicals.TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) shuts down natural testosterone and sperm production — and once you start, you essentially can't stop. Before jumping on the TRT train, explore alternatives like addressing vitamin deficiencies, improving sleep, and using medications that stimulate natural production instead.Erectile dysfunction isn't just a bedroom problem — it's often the first warning sign of cardiovascular disease. The same arterial issues that cause heart attacks show up in penile blood flow first, making your erection quality a surprisingly accurate early warning system for your heart health.The foundations of long-term hormonal and sexual health are remarkably simple: consistent strength training, quality sleep, stress management, and whole foods. Starting in your twenties and thirties, these habits build the infrastructure that keeps your systems running smoothly for decades to come.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Medical dogmas can hinder patient care and need to be re-evaluated. Advocacy for women's health is crucial in the context of hormone therapy. Understanding male sexuality includes recognizing the reasons behind faking orgasms. Communication is key in addressing mismatched desires in relationships. Screening for low testosterone should be considered for men over 30. Mindfulness can enhance sexual experiences and intimacy.

Millions of women in their 30s–50s are being told they're “depressed” when their brains and hormones are simply changing. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz to unpack the truth about midlife mood shifts, rage, and the hormonal fluctuations that mimic depression but aren't the same. We break down the science of perimenopause, why women are so often misdiagnosed, and how decades of excluding women from research left major gaps in understanding how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone shape the brain. Dr. Gilberg-Lenz reveals how hormonal changes—starting up to ten years before menopause—can transform mood, cognition, and stress, and how modern science is finally catching up to just how powerfully hormones influence the mind. About the guest:Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz is a board-certified OB/GYN and integrative women's health expert who blends conventional medicine with Ayurvedic training. A USC-trained physician with a residency at Cedars-Sinai, she supports women from adolescence through menopause and is the author of Menopause Bootcamp (Harper Wave, 2022). Her work focuses on demystifying midlife, challenging ageism in healthcare, and empowering women with science-based guidance.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Carole Hooven is a human evolutionary biologist whose research centers on testosterone, sex differences, and behavior. In this episode, she explores how prenatal testosterone orchestrates male development in the body and brain, how early hormonal surges shape lifelong behavioral tendencies, and what rare natural experiments—such as 5-alpha-reductase deficiency—reveal about the biology of sex differentiation. She discusses distinct male and female aggression styles through an evolutionary lens, how modern environments interact with ancient competitive drives, and the implications of attempting to suppress them. The conversation also covers testosterone across the lifespan, the role of hormone therapy in both men and women, and Carole's own experience after surgical menopause, culminating in a broader discussion of masculinity, cultural narratives, and the consequences of denying biological sex differences. We discuss: How Carole became interested in exploring the biological and evolutionary roots of sex differences and the role of testosterone [2:30]; How testosterone and other hormones influence sex differences in aggression and behavior across species [9:45]; How chromosomes, the SRY gene, and early hormones direct embryonic sexual differentiation [12:15]; A stark contrast of male social bonding compared to females, and evolutionary parallels in chimpanzees [19:30]; How hormones like DHT shape sexual differentiation, and how 5⍺-reductase deficiency reveals the distinct roles of these hormones [22:45]; How sex chromosomes and prenatal testosterone shape early brain development and explain sex differences in childhood behavior [31:30]; How gamete differences shape reproductive strategies, energetic costs, and sex-specific behavior [42:30]; How evolutionary biology shapes sex differences in play, aggression, and conflict resolution (and how modern environments and cultural messaging can disrupt those patterns) [49:00]; Why males commit disproportionately more violent crime, and how cultural and environmental forces shape aggression [1:01:00]; Why females evolved different behavioral strategies: nurturing, risk aversion, and the cultural norms that override biology [1:04:00]; Whether male aggression is still necessary in modern society, why the underlying biological drives persist, and how modern society redirects these drives [1:06:30]; How testosterone levels naturally shift to support fatherhood and caregiving [1:13:30]; How testosterone shapes male mating strategies, and why long-term pair-bonding persists even when reproduction is no longer at stake [1:18:30]; The distinct roles of estrogen in male development, mood, libido, and muscle [1:25:00]; How evolution, health, lifestyle, and androgen receptor biology shape modern testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) [1:34:15]; Carole's experience with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the risks associated with TRT in younger men [1:45:15]; How Carole rebuilt after controversy: leaving academia and recommitting to scientific honesty [1:51:30,]; Carole's next book: examining masculinity, cultural narratives, and the cost of denying biological sex differences [1:57:30]; and More.

Informed Dissent with Dr. Jeff Barke and Dr. Mark McDonald – A growing health crisis is reshaping masculinity and dating as young men experience historically low testosterone. Physicians explore cultural, lifestyle, and environmental drivers, from screens to substances, and outline practical solutions. From strength training to medical care and mentorship, healing men's health may help restore relationships, purpose, and community...

Marty Makary breaks down how views on steroids and testosterone shifted from taboo to medical treatment. He explains why muscle mass predicts longevity, why the FDA is holding a forum on TRT, and how hormone therapy for women was wrongly discredited despite major benefits for heart health, bones, and quality of life.
