Are men going through their own version of menopause?
In this episode of MAN ALIVE, NHS GP and leading men's health specialist Dr Jeff Foster breaks down everything you need to know about testosterone: what it is, why levels are falling, how it affects mood, sex drive, strength, motivation and long-term health, and when it might be time to take action. Drawing on his clinical experience working with men navigating midlife fatigue, low mood, weight gain and loss of drive, Jeff cuts through the misinformation to explain what’s really happening inside the male body and what you can do about it.
In this episode, we discuss male menopause, what testosterone actually is, symptoms of low testosterone, testosterone and sexual function, why testosterone levels are decreasing, causes of low testosterone, treatment options, how to naturally boost testosterone, lifestyle factors affecting hormones, stress and cortisol’s impact on testosterone, supplements for testosterone, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), whether TRT is safe, risks and benefits of hormone therapy, and why Dr Jeff is passionate about helping men understand and optimise their testosterone.
