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.

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.

#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.

#72 - Testosterone & TRT: What's legal? | Dr. Maik Bunzel at Men's Health
In this podcast episode of "Men's Health with Dr. Jonathan Apasu," Dr. Apasu speaks with Dr. Maik Bunzel, a specialist lawyer in medical and doping law, about one of the most current and controversial topics in sports, preventive medicine, and longevity: the legal and medical distinction between testosterone replacement therapy, doping, and illegal substance use. The discussion highlights how complex and often misunderstood the legal situation is in Germany and what risks exist not only for professional athletes but also for recreational athletes and men interested in TRT or peptides. A central theme of this episode is the question of when testosterone therapy is medically indicated and therefore legal, and when it falls under anti-doping laws or drug regulations. Dr. Bunzel explains why even small amounts of certain substances can be considered a violation and what criteria are crucial for distinguishing medically supervised therapy from performance-enhancing use. The episode also clarifies why testosterone therapies in sports are almost never approved through a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) and what this means for athletes competing in regulated disciplines. Besides testosterone, growth hormone (HGH) and peptides like BPC-157 or TB-500 also play a significant role. Dr. Apasu and Dr. Bunzel discuss how these substances work, the legal gray areas that exist, and why many users underestimate the fact that even possession or importation from abroad can have legal consequences. Furthermore, they demonstrate that the quality and purity of unauthorized preparations are often inadequate and can pose serious health risks. Another focus is on the scientific classification. Small studies or anecdotal reports repeatedly surface, promising epigenetic rejuvenation effects from growth hormone or peptides, for example. This episode critically examines why such results have limited scientific significance and why anecdotal evidence cannot be equated with sound research. The podcast appeals for a responsible approach to such topics and emphasizes that true longevity is based on medical evidence and preventative thinking, not on short-term performance enhancements. This episode provides a deep understanding of how closely health, law, and ethics are intertwined in modern men's health. It offers practical insights for anyone involved with TRT, anti-aging, peptide therapy, or sports law. By combining medical expertise with a legal perspective, it creates a clear guide to avoiding legal pitfalls, correctly classifying substances, and using modern therapies responsibly. Ideal for doctors, trainers, athletes, and anyone interested in prevention, performance, and longevity.
