#81 - How modern diagnostics detect diseases before you feel them | Dr. Hadi Saleh on men's health

In this episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu and Dr. Hadi Saleh discuss one of the most exciting approaches in modern medicine: highly personalized preventive diagnostics. Dr. Saleh, former CEO of CeramTec and a passionate health missionary, decided to end his successful career in industry to return to direct patient care. His goal is to prevent diseases before they develop and to empower people to regain control over their long-term health. In the conversation, he explains how whole-body MRI, liquid biopsy, and comprehensive blood diagnostics help detect risks such as cancer, aneurysms, or cardiovascular diseases early on. He points out why false positives are discussed, but are no obstacle in informed hands, and how important it is to find the right balance between necessary screening and unnecessary diagnostics. Another focus is on functional measurements such as VO₂max and grip strength, two of the strongest markers for longevity. Hadi explains how these values are measured, why they are so meaningful, and which training methods, from Nordic 4x4 interval training to dead hangs and farmer's carries, bring the greatest improvements. The insights into genetic and pharmacogenetic analyses are also particularly valuable. Which genes influence the risk of Alzheimer's? For whom is BRCA relevant? Why do medications work worse or differently in some people? And how can these findings be used to specifically optimize treatment decisions? Finally, the conversation turns to the major lifestyle levers. Strength training to prevent sarcopenia, regular endurance exercise, consistent sleep, a high-fiber diet, less alcohol, social interaction, and mental stimulation. Dr. Saleh impressively shows that prevention does not have to be expensive, but requires knowledge, personal responsibility, and consistency. This episode provides one of the most comprehensive, modern, and medically sound perspectives on how men can secure their long-term health today. A must-listen for anyone who wants to understand how preventive medicine works in 2026 and how they can benefit from it themselves.
