Manuel Guarrera, Gründer von Gravity Coach, spricht offen über seine Hodenkrebserkrankung und einen Fehler, der schwerwiegende Folgen hätte haben können: Obwohl er eine Verhärtung am rechten Hoden bemerkte, wartete er ein Jahr, bevor er einen Urologen aufsuchte. In dieser persönlichen Episode erzählt er, warum er die Veränderung verdrängte, wie schnell nach dem ersten Arztbesuch die Operation folgte und weshalb er Vorsorge heute mit völlig anderen Augen sieht.

Themen dieser Episode:

  • Welche Veränderungen am Hoden ärztlich abgeklärt werden sollten
  • Warum Hodenkrebs häufig keine Schmerzen verursacht
  • Weshalb Manuel trotz Auffälligkeit ein Jahr lang wartete
  • So liefen Ultraschall, Operation und Diagnose ab
  • Welche Folgen die Entfernung eines Hodens haben kann
  • Fruchtbarkeit, Testosteron und eine mögliche TRT
  • Warum auch gesunde und sportliche Männer Vorsorge benötigen
  • Wie Männer ihre Hoden regelmäßig selbst untersuchen können

 

Manuels wichtigste Botschaft: Veränderungen nicht verdrängen oder beobachten, sondern medizinisch abklären lassen. Hör jetzt rein und erfahre, warum frühzeitiges Handeln entscheidend sein kann.

#107 - Laufen 101: Die besten Tipps für den Einstieg | Martin Grüning bei Männergesundheit

In dieser Episode des Männergesundheitspodcasts spricht Dr. Jonathan Apasu mit Martin, einem erfahrenen Läufer, ehemaligen Marathon-Leistungssportler und heutigen Chefredakteur von Runner’s World, über eines der wichtigsten und zugleich niedrigschwelligsten Gesundheitsthemen überhaupt: Laufen. Martin läuft seit 50 Jahren, war bereits als Jugendlicher im Leistungssport aktiv, kam später in den Marathonbereich, lief seinen ersten Marathon mit 21 Jahren unter 2 Stunden 20 Minuten und machte das Laufen schließlich auch beruflich zu seinem Lebensthema. Heute beschreibt er sich selbst als „Lebensläufer“ und sieht Laufen nicht mehr nur als Leistungssport, sondern als tägliche Routine für mentale Klarheit, körperliche Gesundheit, Mobilität und Selbstbewusstsein.

#69 - Prävention: Was Männer wirklich wissen müssen | Dr. Claudia Hennig bei Männergesundheit

#69 - Prevention: What men really need to know | Dr. Claudia Hennig at Men's Health

In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan Apasu and Dr. Claudia Hennig discuss in detail the role of GLP-1 agonists such as Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy in modern preventive medicine and why they have received so much attention in recent years. These drugs were originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but they also demonstrate impressive efficacy in cases of severe obesity. They can help break the vicious cycle of obesity, insulin resistance, and the numerous associated conditions such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and fatty liver. Dr. Hennig clarifies, however, that these medications are not intended as a lifestyle tool or a quick fix for "that last bit of belly fat." Rather, they come into play when the risk of chronic diseases is high and conservative measures alone are no longer sufficient. A central theme of the discussion is the distinction between drug therapy and sustainable prevention. While GLP-1 analogs can be an effective tool, they do not replace lifestyle changes. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and the establishment of healthy routines that have a long-term impact remain crucial. Only when both come together—an evidence-based medication and a consistently improved lifestyle—can stable, long-term results be achieved. Furthermore, the two experts discuss why preventive medicine must begin early. Young people with obesity, in particular, require attention, as they otherwise risk developing chronic illnesses at a young age. Preventive measures implemented in a timely manner can not only improve quality of life but also prevent the development of serious illnesses later in life. Medical care plays a crucial role here, because only individualized diagnostics that consider all risk factors can enable a precisely tailored therapy. The podcast also addresses the limitations and opportunities of GLP-1 therapies. Which patients truly benefit? Where is caution advised? And what role do side effects or long-term use play? Dr. Hennig explains that these medications are only effective when integrated into a comprehensive preventative care plan. She also emphasizes the importance of addressing the underlying causes of obesity concurrently and not relying solely on medication. This episode vividly illustrates that preventive medicine is more than just following guidelines. It's about considering people individually, identifying personal risk factors, and taking early countermeasures. Prevention doesn't mean waiting until illnesses have already developed, but rather promoting a sustainable lifestyle much earlier. This way, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and other risk factors can be nipped in the bud. Ultimately, one thing becomes clear: medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Wegovy can be a powerful tool in prevention, but they should never be considered in isolation. They only unfold their true value in combination with nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and social well-being. Preventive medicine, therefore, means providing comprehensive support to individuals, taking their personal needs seriously, and paving the way, step by step, toward a healthier life.

#80 - So alterst du richtig - Die besten Tipps | Dr. Hani Al-Mohamed bei Männergesundheit

#80 - How to age gracefully - The best tips | Dr. Hani Al-Mohamed at Men's Health

In this comprehensive podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Dr. Hani Al-Mohamed, a long-time senior physician in geriatrics and now a mentor for entrepreneurs over 50, about the key building blocks for healthy aging, holistic prevention, and sustainable performance. The exchange vividly illustrates how modern medicine, while highly specialized, is too rarely focused on prevention. Dr. Hani explains why geriatrics, as the medicine of old age, is a prime example of how interdisciplinary teams—comprising physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and social workers—can guide people, even from the most severe conditions, back to independence and quality of life. The case of a patient who required intensive care for an extended period and regained the ability to walk within just a few weeks thanks to targeted geriatric interventions is particularly compelling. A central focus of the conversation is the influence of prevention – especially exercise – on longevity and health. Dr. Hani describes why, according to studies, exercise is just as effective or even more effective than medication for many illnesses. He explains the role of strength training, endurance, balance, and mobility, and why muscles are a highly active metabolic organ that processes glucose, produces myokines, and prevents diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. At the same time, he warns of risks such as improper strain and herniated discs, which often result from incorrect training, poor technique, or lack of mobility. Another key topic is the critical use of medication in old age. Many geriatric patients take long lists of medications – often unnecessarily or outdated. Dr. Hani explains how he systematically reviewed which medications are truly beneficial in his clinic and clarifies the importance of lists such as the PRISCUS or FORTA lists for safe and rational pharmacotherapy. Dr. Hani particularly emphasizes the importance of mindset: health begins in the mind. Many men, especially entrepreneurs, prioritize career, family, and responsibilities for decades, while their own health takes a back seat. He demonstrates how crucial an inner, emotional drive is for lasting change – and why fear ("If you continue like this, you'll have a heart attack...") is significantly less effective than positive motivation. Goals such as professional performance, vitality for the family, or the ability to be active with one's grandchildren create a long-term readiness for change. In conclusion, Dr. Hani describes the biggest levers for men 50+: a clear mindset, regular exercise, optimized nutrition, micronutrient diagnostics, stress reduction through HRV analysis, and sleep optimization – one of the fastest ways to more energy, better regeneration and hormonal balance. This episode offers a deep insight into modern preventive medicine and answers the question of how men can not only live longer, but better: productive, healthy and self-determined into old age.
