#56 - What your blood test results really mean - Step by Step | Dr. Helena Orfanos-Boeckel at Men's Health

In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with renowned internist and nephrologist Dr. Helena Orfanos-Boeckel about a topic that many underestimate, despite its central importance to one's health: the correct interpretation and classification of lab results. Using his own comprehensive blood test, which includes over 70 parameters, Dr. Apasu and Dr. Orfanos-Boeckel guide listeners step-by-step through key health markers such as kidney function, hormone levels, cholesterol, inflammatory markers, and vitamin D levels. This discussion highlights the complexity of modern laboratory diagnostics and how easily incomplete interpretation or incorrect assumptions can lead to a false sense of security. The discussion compares two different kidney markers, creatinine and cystatin C, to demonstrate how muscle mass, exercise, and diet can distort the classic values. Dr. Apasu's testosterone levels are also discussed in detail. This includes not only total testosterone but also free testosterone, SHBG levels, and the underlying hormonal regulatory circuits. Particularly interesting is the analysis of elevated cholesterol levels in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle, including an assessment of the genetic risk profile and the significance of lipoprotein(a), ApoB, and small LDL cholesterol. The podcast episode makes it clear that high LDL levels do not automatically require treatment if certain protective factors are also present. Furthermore, Dr. Orfanos-Boeckel addresses the widespread misconception that vitamin D supplements are universally effective and demonstrates, using specific data, that individual absorption, genetic factors, and co-factors such as magnesium, boron, and vitamin K2 are crucial. She explains the importance of regularly monitoring nutrient and hormone levels and not relying solely on general reference values. The episode also provides well-founded information on the connection between blood pressure, inflammatory markers, vascular health, and the risk of cardiovascular disease. This episode offers a practical and in-depth introduction to the world of functional laboratory diagnostics and is aimed at anyone who doesn't want to leave their health to chance. It vividly demonstrates that a complete blood count alone is insufficient to make truly relevant statements about one's health status, and that prevention begins with a willingness to look more closely. A must-see for anyone who takes men's health seriously and wants to optimize it based on evidence.

#31 - Skin in Focus - Dermatologist Explains! | Dr. Avend Bamarni on Men's Health with Dr. Jonathan Apasu

The skin is our largest organ – yet many men neglect their skin health. In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan Apasu and Dr. Avend Bamarni, dermatology resident and medical influencer, discuss the most important topics surrounding skincare, skin cancer prevention, and hair loss. How can you protect your skin in the long term? Which skincare products are truly necessary? And how can you recognize the first signs of skin cancer? This episode provides valuable answers. Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, yet many men fail to recognize the early warning signs. Dr. Avend Bamarni explains why UV radiation is so dangerous and what protective measures every man should take. A key factor: regular skin checks. He discusses the differences between melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, why chemotherapy is often ineffective, and which modern immunotherapies offer new treatment options. Interesting fact: Did you know that some foods, like tomatoes or carrots, can protect your skin from the inside out? Antioxidants such as lycopene and astaxanthin increase natural UV protection. But does that really replace sunscreen? Many men notice their first signs of a receding hairline in their early twenties – but why does it affect some more than others? In this episode, Dr. Jonathan Apasu and Dr. Avend Bamarni discuss the true causes of hair loss. Besides genetic factors, stress, lack of sleep, and diet also play a significant role. What solutions are available? Minoxidil and finasteride are among the best-known treatments for hair loss, but not everyone tolerates them. Hair transplants are a long-term solution, but for whom are they truly worthwhile? Nutrition also plays a crucial role – which micronutrients can support hair growth will be discussed below. Good skincare doesn't have to be complicated. This episode explains why sunscreen is the best anti-aging method, which ingredients in skincare products actually work, and why diet and lifestyle have a major impact on the complexion. The technological future of dermatology is also exciting. Artificial intelligence and smart skin apps will revolutionize diagnostics and early detection of skin cancer. Modern skin scanners enable more precise skin analysis and could improve dermatological care in the long term. This episode is for everyone who wants to keep their skin healthy in the long term. From skin cancer prevention and hair loss to the right skincare – here you'll learn what really helps.
