#115 - Longevity & Epigenetik: Was du beeinflussen kannst | Prof. Kleine-Gunk bei Männergesundheit

Männergesundheit Podcast

Männergesundheit Podcast

Expertenwissen zu Testosteron und Männergesundheit

Wie stark bestimmen unsere Gene wirklich, wie gesund wir altern? Prof. Dr. Bernd Kleine-Gunk erklärt in dieser Episode, warum die DNA zwar weitgehend unverändert bleibt, die Aktivität unserer Gene aber durch die Epigenetik beeinflusst werden kann. Lebensstil, Ernährung, Bewegung, Schlaf und Stress wirken darauf ein, welche genetischen Informationen abgelesen oder blockiert werden.

Gemeinsam mit Dr. Jonathan Apasu spricht er darüber, wie epigenetische Veränderungen entstehen, warum Erfahrungen möglicherweise sogar nachfolgende Generationen prägen können und wie sogenannte epigenetische Uhren das biologische Alter bestimmen. Außerdem geht es um die Frage, ob sich Alterungsprozesse zukünftig nicht nur verlangsamen, sondern durch epigenetische Reprogrammierung teilweise umkehren lassen könnten.  

Themen dieser Episode:

  • Was Epigenetik vom klassischen genetischen Code unterscheidet
  • Wie Ernährung, Bewegung, Schlaf und Stress unsere Genaktivität beeinflussen
  • Warum epigenetische Veränderungen möglicherweise vererbt werden können
  • Was biologisches und chronologisches Alter voneinander unterscheidet
  • Wie epigenetische Uhren den Alterungsprozess messen
  • Welche Rolle Fasten und Reparaturmechanismen spielen
  • Wie epigenetische Reprogrammierung Zellen und Organe verjüngen könnte
  • Warum Longevity-Forschung aktuell enorme Fortschritte macht

#102 - RED-S: When Your Body Doesn't Get Enough Energy | Timo Tekolf on Men's Health

In this episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with sports scientist, personal trainer, and certified health coach Timo Tekolf about a highly relevant yet often overlooked topic: RED-S, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport. This refers to a relative energy deficiency that occurs when the body consistently receives less energy than it needs for daily activities, training, recovery, hormones, the immune system, and basic metabolic processes.

#78 - Sauna & Eisbaden: Das sagt die Wissenschaft | Prof. Andreas Michalsen bei Männergesundheit

#78 - Sauna & Ice Bathing: What Science Says | Prof. Andreas Michalsen at Men's Health

In this episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Prof. Dr. Andreas Michalsen, Chief Physician at Immanuel Hospital Berlin and Professor at Charité, about the scientifically proven effects of saunas, ice baths, and cryotherapy chambers. They discuss how heat and cold affect cells, metabolism, the cardiovascular system, and mental health, and how to safely integrate both into everyday life. Professor Michalsen explains what's actually behind terms like heat shock proteins, autophagy, and brown fat. While regular sauna sessions train the blood vessels, improve circulation, and stimulate cell regeneration, cold exposure promotes the activity of brown adipose tissue and has a positive effect on metabolism and mood. Studies show that both heat and cold stimuli can reduce inflammation, stimulate the immune system, and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, Professor Michalsen discusses why the combination of sauna and cold is particularly effective, what to pay attention to when switching between the two, and which typical mistakes beginners should avoid. He explains why not every sauna infusion is automatically better, how significant the influence of humidity really is, and why re-warming after cold applications is crucial. His recommendations for a safe introduction are especially interesting: from Kneipp treatments and cold showers to targeted ice bathing. The podcast demonstrates that both heat and cold are important natural stimuli for the body, training our physiological systems and supporting self-healing. It's not about extremes, but about regularity and moderation. With practical tips, sound science, and years of experience, Professor Michalsen provides valuable insights for anyone wanting to improve their health, energy, and mental strength through simple, natural methods. This episode is ideal for anyone who wants to understand how modern research confirms traditional naturopathy and how to safely strengthen the heart, metabolism and immune system with heat and cold.

#70 - So äußern sich Depressionen bei Männern | Prof. Dr. Siegfried Kaspar bei Männergesundheit

#70 - How depression manifests in men | Prof. Dr. Siegfried Kaspar at Men's Health

Depression in men is a frequently overlooked and underestimated condition. While women more often present with classic symptoms such as sadness, lack of motivation, or social withdrawal, the illness often manifests itself quite differently in men. Instead of quiet sadness, irritability, anger, aggression, and restless hyperactivity dominate. Many men experience physical symptoms such as chest tightness, headaches, or increased sweating, so they don't consider a psychological cause and initially consult their general practitioner. Another reason for the delayed diagnosis is men's lower tendency to seek help. While women are more likely to seek support in stressful situations, men often react with fight-or-flight behavior. They distract themselves, work excessively, or turn to alcohol, which masks the actual illness. As a result, depression in men is less frequently recognized, often goes untreated for longer, and can lead to severe cases with an increased risk of suicide. In this podcast episode, Professor Dr. Siegfried Kasper, one of the most internationally renowned psychiatrists, explains why the standard diagnostic criteria are insufficient for reliably identifying depression in men. He shows which symptoms are most prominent, how doctors can ask the right questions, and why language is crucial for reaching affected men. Furthermore, the most important biological and social factors that influence the development and course of depression are examined. Particular attention is paid to therapeutic options. In addition to thorough diagnostics, including thyroid and hormone levels, the focus is on selecting appropriate forms of psychotherapy, the effects of medication, and the role of modern procedures such as transcranial magnetic stimulation or esketamine. Equally important are measures to strengthen resilience, such as stable social relationships, a regular sleep schedule, and abstaining from alcohol. This episode offers a comprehensive overview of the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of depression in men. It highlights the differences between male and female manifestations and demonstrates why timely help is crucial. Thus, the podcast provides valuable knowledge not only for professionals but also guidance for those affected and their families who finally want to understand what depression in men truly looks like.
