#88 - Longevity 101: The most important basics | Kristine Zeller at Men's Health

Longevity is far more than just a trend, but amidst conflicting nutritional concepts, training dogmas, and biohacking extremes, many people lose track. In this in-depth podcast episode, Kristine Zeller explains why true longevity doesn't come from perfection, but from consistently implementing fundamental principles. The focus is on the four scientifically recognized pillars of longevity: nutrition, exercise, recovery, and emotional well-being. Kristine demonstrates why a plant-based diet with sufficient protein is the foundation for muscle growth, metabolic health, and hormonal balance. She explains why 1.2 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight are essential for active individuals and why supplements like protein shakes can be beneficial. When it comes to exercise, she debunks myths. Longevity requires not only strength training, but also everyday movement, Zone 2 endurance training, and targeted high-intensity stimuli. What's particularly important is not the intensity, but the long-term routine. Kristine shares concrete habit strategies that make it possible to sustainably integrate exercise into even the most stressful daily life. Another focus is the often underestimated role of sleep. Regular sleep patterns, conscious caffeine consumption, and an understanding of the circadian rhythm are explained as key levers for regeneration, hormone production, and mental performance. The episode concludes with a discussion of emotional health. Kristine introduces the scientifically based Pennebaker Writing Protocol, a simple journaling tool that has been proven to strengthen resilience, reduce stress, and process emotional burdens. This episode is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to not only understand longevity in theory, but also live it practically. Clear, actionable, and without unnecessary complexity.

#76 - Testosterone in competition: What's allowed? | NADA experts Dr. Eva Bunthoff & Jutta Müller-Reul at Men's Health

In sports, testosterone replacement therapy is generally considered doping, even if it has been medically prescribed. Testosterone may only be lawfully used if a valid TUE, or Therapeutic Use Exemption, is in place. A TUE is a medical exemption that allows athletes to take a prohibited substance when it is medically necessary and no alternative treatment is available. In Germany, applications for a TUE are submitted to the National Anti-Doping Agency, NADA. The case is reviewed there from medical and regulatory perspectives. Once the process is complete, the decision is submitted to the World Anti-Doping Agency, WADA. WADA reviews whether the decision complies with the global rules of the World Anti-Doping Code. WADA thus performs an important compliance function. It ensures that medical exemptions are assessed internationally according to the same criteria and that no national differences or special regulations arise. Especially with sensitive substances such as testosterone, it is carefully checked whether each TUE was correctly justified, medically warranted, and approved in accordance with the rules. WADA can also revoke TUEs retroactively if they were not granted in accordance with the rules. This is intended to prevent national agencies from granting exemptions too liberally or athletes from receiving unjustified advantages. The goal is the worldwide harmonization of rules and the assurance of fairness and equal opportunity in competitive sports. In the new episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Dr. Eva Bunthoff, a member of NADA's executive board, and Ms. Jutta Müller-Reul from the medical department about testosterone, doping controls, TUEs, and WADA's role. The two experts provide insights into medical and sports law practice and explain how responsible testosterone therapy, health, and fairness in competitive sports are interconnected. Listen now and learn how NADA and WADA work together, what criteria must be met for a TUE, and why transparency and clear rules are crucial for the integrity of sports.
