04:23 Free Vs Total Testosterone
* I think most health professionals do not check free testosterone levels
* I think that most experts acknowledge that free testosterone is very important, right? I think they do. If you look some of the data, the data would show that the free testosterone correlates the best to symptoms, not the total, the free. So if you know that's tru, then actually we should put more weight on free testosterone. It's odd because you know everything's based on Total T. It's not based on Free T. which doesn't make much sense
50:47 Is Oestrogen Important for Men?
* estrogen is extremely important for libido and if you shut down that estrogen their libido is going to go down, if the estrogen goes down way below 20 pg/mL bone mineral density gets compromised as well
Why do so many men accept declining erections, low libido, and reduced sexual confidence as “just ageing”? What if your sex span (the length of time you can enjoy a healthy, satisfying sex life) is one of the clearest signals of your overall health, and something you can protect for decades longer than most men realise?
In this episode of MAN ALIVE, leading men’s health specialist Dr Jeff Foster is joined by world-renowned men’s urologist and sexual medicine expert Dr Mohit Khera. Dr Khera specialises in testosterone, erectile dysfunction, libido, fertility, and male sexual health, and has worked at the forefront of research into how hormones, mental health, metabolism, and ageing affect men’s sexual function and overall wellbeing. Together, they break down what men commonly misunderstand about sex, testosterone, erections, and performance, and what actually matters for long-term health.
In this episode, we discuss testosterone and why it’s so important for men, free vs total testosterone, the link between testosterone and prostate health, the TRAVERSE trial, whether low testosterone causes depression, how to improve testosterone naturally, why men should focus on their sex span, finding the root cause of erectile dysfunction and sexual health issues, Peyronie’s disease, why erections are a signal of overall health, ED medications and treatment options, testosterone and diabetes, the role of oestrogen in men, supplements for testosterone, declining fertility rates, male and female sexual health, how doctors can improve men’s care, and the one key message every man needs to hear about protecting sexual health, hormones, and longevity.
