#101 - The Truth About Prostate Diagnostics | Prof. Dr. Sven Perner on Men's Health
In this episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Sven, a pathologist and expert in uropathology, about one of the most important topics in men's health: prostate cancer. Prostate carcinoma remains the most common cancer in men and is one of the most dangerous tumor diseases if detected too late. This is precisely why early detection is the focus of this episode.

#94 - The Importance of Your Oral Health for Longevity | Dr. Katharina Broos on Men's Health
In this podcast episode, Dr. Katharina Broos discusses a topic that is often underestimated in health prevention but can have an enormous impact on the entire body: oral health. The focus is not only on beautiful teeth or cavities, but especially on the gums, the periodontium, and the oral microbiome. The central message of the episode: The mouth should not be viewed in isolation from the rest of the body, but rather as a crucial part of holistic health, prevention, and longevity.

#65 - Growth Hormone: The Key to Longevity? | Prof. Bernd Kleine-Gunk at Men's Health
In this episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Prof. Dr. Bernd Kleine-Gunk, a leading expert in anti-aging medicine. The focus is on growth hormone, which, like few other hormones, has been the subject of controversy in recent decades. Initially hailed as a fountain of youth, it was then heavily criticized due to potential cancer risks, and finally, recent studies such as the TRIM study have brought it back into focus as a beacon of hope for increased longevity. Prof. Kleine-Gunk describes how he has personally witnessed these developments since the 1990s and explains the actual physiological effects of growth hormone. It is particularly important for linear growth during childhood, but it also significantly influences body composition later in life, promoting muscle mass while simultaneously reducing body fat. Furthermore, it plays a role in regeneration and performance, which is why it is of great importance in both bodybuilding and the longevity community. Professor Kleine-Gunk explains in detail how growth hormone is regulated, why it is predominantly released during deep sleep, and how metabolism is closely linked to it via insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). A central point of discussion is the factors that influence its release. Sleep quality, intermittent fasting with dinner skipping, intensive training such as HIIT, as well as heat and cold stimuli from saunas or ice baths are natural stimuli that have been shown to stimulate the body's own production. This demonstrates that lifestyle measures have a direct and practical impact on the hormonal system. In addition to these positive aspects, the episode also addresses the downsides. Abuse in the bodybuilding scene has led to serious side effects such as excessive organ growth, jaw deformities, and heart valve problems. The episode also explains acromegaly, a condition in which a pituitary tumor uncontrollably produces too much growth hormone. In everyday medical practice, growth hormone is used to treat children with dwarfism or, in exceptional cases, adults with pituitary damage. It is also occasionally used in intensive care to prevent massive muscle loss during prolonged hospital stays. The discussion focuses particularly on the TRIM study, which was the first to demonstrate that biological age can be measurably reversed. By administering growth hormone in combination with metformin and DHEA, the participants rejuvenated themselves by an average of 2.5 years within one year. Although this study was conducted on a small group, it generated enormous interest in the longevity community and spurred new research projects. The TRIM-2 study, which includes a larger number of participants and a control group, is eagerly awaited. In conclusion, Professor Kleine-Gunk shares his personal assessment. He remains cautious about the routine administration of growth hormone, as persistently elevated IGF-1 levels have been correlated with a shortened lifespan in animal models. Instead, he primarily recommends natural measures to his patients to optimize their own growth hormone production. In his view, good sleep hygiene, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and hormetic stimuli are more sustainable, safer, and also more cost-effective than drug therapy. This episode offers a comprehensive overview of the history, effects, opportunities, and risks of growth hormone. It presents both the scientific background and practical tips on how to promote health and longevity with simple means. This makes it a valuable resource for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of how hormones influence our lives and how modern anti-aging medicine can be implemented based on sound scientific principles.
