In this episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Dr. Eveline Urselmann (medical practice for aesthetic medicine, clinical experience in hormone therapy) about testosterone deficiency and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) from a medical and longevity-oriented perspective. The focus is not on the hype surrounding "optimization," but on a sound clinical approach: how a significant testosterone deficiency is diagnosed, which lab values are truly crucial, which treatment options are established, and how therapy is safely monitored and individually adjusted.

#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.
