#30 - How exercise increases your life expectancy | Prof. Dr. Martin Halle at Men's Health

Professor Dr. Martin Halle, a leading expert in sports cardiology and preventive medicine, explains in this episode the fundamental importance of exercise for health. He clarifies why physical activity not only protects the cardiovascular system but also influences the brain, metabolism, and even cancer risk. It becomes clear that exercise is far more than just a means of improving performance – it is essential for maintaining the health of the entire body. The discussion surrounding the influence of exercise on the prevention of heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases is particularly fascinating. Studies show that regular exercise can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by up to 50% and significantly reduces the incidence of type 2 diabetes, even in individuals with a genetic predisposition. Exercise also plays a key role in neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia, as it improves blood flow to the brain and releases protective neurotransmitters. Another key topic is the role of strength training in modern sports medicine. While endurance training was once considered the gold standard for heart health, research now shows that strength training is just as important, if not more so. It strengthens muscles, reduces strain on the heart, and improves metabolism. For people with pre-existing conditions, targeted strength training can therefore be an important part of therapy. Professor Halle also addresses the importance of performance diagnostics, which makes it possible to individually optimize training. Many people train too intensely or inefficiently, causing them to stagnate or even putting themselves at risk of health problems. Through a targeted analysis of aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, training intensity can be adjusted to achieve maximum health benefits. Professor Halle also discusses the often underestimated role of exercise in everyday life. Just ten minutes of moderate physical activity per day has been proven to significantly reduce the risk of illness. It doesn't always have to be a marathon or an intensive training program – even small but regular sessions can have a big impact. This episode not only provides sound scientific insights but also practical tips for a healthy, active life. Anyone wanting to improve their health in the long term will learn here why exercise is the best medicine and how to effectively integrate it into their daily routine.

#65 - Wachstumshormon: Der Schlüssel zur Langlebigkeit? | Prof. Bernd Kleine-Gunk bei Männergesundheit

#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.

#42 - How to stay fit: Tips from a physiotherapist | Sebastian Marquard at Men's Health

In this episode of "Men's Health," Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Sebastian Marquardt, an experienced physiotherapist and former European champion in American football, about the most important aspects of long-term health and fitness. Sebastian has over 20 years of experience in physiotherapy and understands the challenges that come with competitive sports and daily physical demands. He shares his personal insights and provides valuable information on recovery, injury prevention, and the right mindset regarding training and health. Sebastian shares how his own perspective on fitness and health has changed over the years – from his time as an active athlete who gave everything for performance, to his current role as a therapist who takes a holistic approach. This approach isn't just about pushing the body to its limits, but also about listening to what it truly needs to stay healthy. He explains the importance of appreciating your body and understanding its "language" in order to maintain long-term performance. He particularly emphasizes the importance of regeneration and sleep, which are often underestimated but crucial for maintaining physical fitness. Many people tend to quickly resort to incorrect solutions when experiencing pain or physical problems, without identifying the true cause. Sebastian explains that many ailments, such as back problems, are often related to poor posture or underdeveloped muscles, which can be improved with targeted exercises. Another key topic is stretching. Sebastian dispels the misconception that stretching is only good for flexibility and explains why it is equally important for regeneration and long-term fitness. Another interesting aspect that Sebastian addresses is the changing health trend, especially for men over 40. While testosterone levels decline in many men as they age, Sebastian points out that through proper nutrition, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle, the body still has considerable potential to increase fitness and performance even in advanced age. Sebastian also gives valuable tips on how men can maintain their physical health beyond the age of 40, and why it's so important to find the right balance between training, recovery, and mental health. He emphasizes that one shouldn't just focus on the number on the scale or performance at the gym, but on the entire lifestyle that leads to a healthy and fulfilling life. Tune in to find out how you can improve your fitness level while maintaining your health in the long term – all without excessive ego-driven training.
