#89 - TRT & Peptide: Die rechtlichen Grenzen | Dr. Maik Bunzel bei Männergesundheit

Dr. Jonathan Apasu

Testosteron Experte von Adon Health

Testosteron, TRT, Peptide, Biohacking - was medizinisch sinnvoll klingt, kann rechtlich schnell gefährlich werden. In dieser Episode des Männergesundheit Podcasts spricht Dr. Jonathan Apasu mit dem Strafverteidiger und Dopingrecht-Experten Dr. Maik Bunzel über die oft unterschätzten juristischen Risiken rund um Testosteronersatztherapie, Dopingrecht und Research Chemicals.

Gemeinsam klären sie, wann Testosteronbesitz strafbar ist, warum das Anti-Doping-Gesetz eine Sonderrolle spielt, was ein ärztliches Rezept wirklich schützt und wo selbst Biohacking schnell in eine Grauzone rutscht. Außerdem geht es um Peptide wie BPC-157 und TB-500, Online-Bestellungen, Amazon-Fallen, Sportrecht, Hausdurchsuchungen und die Frage, wie real das Risiko für normale Männer tatsächlich ist.

 

Themen dieser Episode:

 

  • Warum Testosteron kein „normales“ Arzneimittel ist

  • Rezept vs. Schwarzmarkt: Wann Besitz strafbar wird

  • TRT, Biohacking & rechtliche Grauzonen

  • Peptide & Research Chemicals: Straftat oder Ordnungswidrigkeit?

  • Anti-Doping-Gesetz, Mengenbegrenzen & Beweislastumkehr

  • Sportrechtliche Konsequenzen trotz ärztlicher Verordnung

  • Typische Fehler bei Online-Bestellungen und Amazon-Käufen

 

Diese Folge ist Pflicht für alle Männer, die sich mit Testosteron, Hormonoptimierung oder Peptiden beschäftigen - bevor es ernst wird.

#74 - Männer zwischen Hormonmangel und Lebenskrise - was steckt wirklich dahinter? | Dr. Christoph Keining bei Männergesundheit

#74 - Men between hormone deficiency and life crisis - what's really behind it? | Dr. Christoph Keining at Men's Health

In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan Apasu and Dr. Christoph Keining discuss a modern and holistic approach to testosterone therapy. Testosterone is far more than just a hormone for muscle growth and libido. It influences energy, drive, sleep, mental clarity, and stress resistance. Many men with symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, or lack of motivation have seemingly normal lab results. Dr. Keining explains why total testosterone alone is often not very informative and why free testosterone and its ratio to SHBG play a crucial role. A central theme of this episode is the correct application of testosterone in practice. Dr. Keining shares his clinical experience with hundreds of patients and describes why many men experience minor improvements with transdermal preparations, but not complete symptom relief. With testosterone enanthate injection therapy in so-called microdosing intervals, he observes significantly more stable hormone levels, fewer side effects, and a sustained improvement in quality of life. The higher frequency of administration helps avoid drastic fluctuations, which has a particularly positive effect on mood, energy, and resilience. The discussion also explains when subcutaneous or intramuscular administration is appropriate, what individual differences exist in absorption, and why the choice of method should always be patient-specific. Dr. Keining emphasizes that laboratory values ​​are only one part of the diagnostic process and that medical supervision, follow-up examinations, and clinical assessment remain crucial. The focus is not on the lab result, but on the individual patient. Another important aspect is the influence of lifestyle, body fat percentage, and stress on the effectiveness of testosterone therapy. Excess weight can lead to increased aromatase activity, resulting in a greater conversion of testosterone to estrogen, which can hinder therapeutic success or increase side effects. Therefore, Dr. Keining discusses the value of a holistic approach that includes exercise, sleep, nutrition, and psychological well-being. As a systemic couples therapist, he demonstrates that hormonal symptoms often don't occur in isolation. Fatigue, irritability, or loss of libido can also be expressions of psychological stress or relationship tensions. The combination of medicine and systemic therapy makes it possible to identify deeper underlying causes and initiate lasting change. This episode is one of the most comprehensive discussions on modern testosterone therapy and men's health. It combines clinical experience with scientific clarity and shows how individualized and responsible TRT works, from diagnostics and dosage to lifestyle and mental health. Anyone who wants to understand how testosterone therapy really works and when it makes sense should definitely listen to this episode.

#41 - Testosteron - Was stimmt wirklich? Der große Fakten-Check | Prof. Robin Wilkening bei Männergesundheit

#41 - Testosterone - What's really true? The big fact check | Prof. Robin Wilkening at Men's Health

Testosterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in men's health and is frequently at the center of discussions surrounding masculinity, performance, and overall well-being. It's the hormone responsible for many physical characteristics and plays a central role in numerous aspects of life. Despite its importance, however, numerous myths and misconceptions surround testosterone. In this episode of the men's health podcast, we take a closer look at testosterone and examine the truth behind common claims. While testosterone is often referred to as the "male hormone," it's also linked to a variety of health problems. But what happens when testosterone levels drop? Many believe that low testosterone automatically leads to poor health, but the truth is more complex. Professor Robin Wilkening, a leading expert in testosterone research, explains that low testosterone levels often correlate with other health risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. However, testosterone itself isn't always the cause of these problems; rather, it's an indicator that other aspects of health are compromised. In the medical world, there are ongoing and controversial discussions about whether testosterone is truly the decisive factor for overall men's health. Some studies have shown that low testosterone levels can be associated with increased mortality and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. However, other researchers emphasize that testosterone levels are only one piece of the puzzle and that lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and sleep play an equally important role. Testosterone definitely has a major impact on a man's quality of life. It affects not only physical aspects like muscle growth and bone health, but also psychological factors such as drive, motivation, and libido. However, there are also many misconceptions about how testosterone works. Some men believe that taking testosterone supplements will automatically improve their quality of life, while others consider the hormone dangerous and attribute many negative properties to it. The truth often lies somewhere in between. In this episode of the podcast, we also explore the question of how testosterone replacement therapy can work. Is it always necessary, or can simple lifestyle changes also positively influence testosterone levels? Prof. Dr. Wilkening emphasizes that the first steps are always a healthy lifestyle. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep are key to naturally supporting testosterone levels. Only if these approaches are insufficient should targeted testosterone therapy be considered. Another topic covered in the podcast is the role of stress in men's health. Stress has a significant impact on hormone levels and can considerably lower testosterone. Men often underestimate how much their psychological strain affects their physical health. Therefore, it's important to reduce stress and find a balance in life. Professor Dr. Wilkening advises men not to view their bodies merely as functional machines, but also to pay attention to the signals they send and treat them with calm and mindfulness. Overall, this episode demonstrates that testosterone is a complex topic that doesn't depend on a single hormone. A healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet, and the right balance between exertion and recovery are crucial for promoting overall health and optimizing testosterone levels. While testosterone may be an important marker for men's health, it's not the only factor. It's a signal that can indicate potential health issues, but the root cause often lies in a complex interplay of factors.
