#44 - Die 4-Schritte-Formel für deinen Fitness-Erfolg | Mark Maslow bei Männergesundheit

#44 - The 4-Step Formula for Your Fitness Success | Mark Maslow at Men's Health

In this in-depth podcast episode on men's health, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with renowned fitness coach, author, and founder of MarathonFitness.de, Mark Maslow. Known for his provocative motto "Look good naked," Mark has built one of the most influential German-language fitness platforms—with the goal of transforming people not only physically but also mentally. The conversation focuses on the MARK Formula he developed, a holistic and scientifically based system comprising mental training, balanced nutrition, proper strength training, and effectively integrated cardio. Mark shares his personal story – from a rather unathletic computer nerd to the pivotal moment he received during his time in the German Armed Forces, culminating in his successful self-employment in the fitness industry. It becomes clear that fitness is far more than just physical appearance. For Mark, "looking good naked" primarily means a strong sense of body awareness, self-efficacy, and a life of physical freedom – now and in old age. Mark's insights into the psychological foundations of successful change are particularly valuable: why mental blocks are often the biggest obstacle, how to formulate realistic and emotionally engaging goals, and which strategies enable long-term commitment. He also offers practical nutritional tips, including his "Lean, Green, Marine" approach, and clear recommendations for effective strength training that can be implemented even with limited time. This episode is for men (and women) who want to see fitness not as a short-term challenge, but as a lasting lifestyle. It delivers in-depth knowledge, honest reflections, and practical advice – making one thing clear: health and performance begin in the mind. An inspiring conversation for anyone who wants to get more out of themselves and their lives.

#61 - Testosteron verstehen: Ernährung, Gene & Blutwerte | Andreas Scholz bei Männergesundheit

#61 - Understanding Testosterone: Nutrition, Genes & Blood Levels | Andreas Scholz at Men's Health

In this episode of the Men's Health podcast with Dr. Jonathan Apasu, medical expertise meets applied nutritional knowledge. His guest is Andreas Scholz, known as the "Figure Maker" and an expert on hormone-based nutrition in German-speaking countries. Together, they take a holistic look at testosterone. It's about much more than just the total testosterone level, as this alone is rarely meaningful. They discuss, among other things, why it's important to also include values ​​such as SHBG, free testosterone, DHT, prolactin, LH, and cortisol in the diagnostic process. Another focus is the role of genetics in hormonal balance. The influence of genetic variations such as MTHFR or 5-alpha reductase on hormone conversion is discussed, as is the significance of androgen receptors and their sensitivity. Using Dr. Apasu's own blood test results, the two authors demonstrate how carefully laboratory values ​​must be interpreted and why an individual baseline is crucial for hormonal health. This episode offers practical tips for men who want to naturally boost their testosterone production. It focuses on topics such as strength training, sufficient sleep, stress management, and a personalized diet. The episode explains which foods and macronutrient ratios have a positive effect on testosterone levels and why certain micronutrients like zinc, magnesium, vitamin D, and boron play a crucial role in hormone regulation. Modern testing methods such as the AMS questionnaire, saliva analyses, and blood glucose monitoring with CGM sensors are also discussed in detail. The two authors provide clear recommendations on when medically supervised testosterone replacement therapy can be beneficial and which forms, such as injections, gels, or creams, are suitable for different types of men. Additionally, the discussion addresses common misconceptions surrounding testosterone deficiency, the psychological component of the diagnosis, and the misconception that any fatigue or lack of motivation automatically equates to testosterone deficiency. Rather, the cause can also lie in the thyroid gland, the adrenal glands, neurotransmitter balance, or an unbalanced diet. This episode is a well-founded, practical deep dive into the world of male hormone balance and is aimed at all men who want to better understand their bodies, regain their energy, and holistically optimize their health. It's ideal for anyone interested in biohacking, longevity, preventative medicine, and hormone-based nutrition.

#46 - Was Extrembedingungen mit deinem Körper machen | Prof. Dr. Hanns-Christian Gunga bei Männergesundheit

#46 - What extreme conditions do to your body | Prof. Dr. Hanns-Christian Gunga at Men's Health

In this episode of "Men's Health," Dr. Jonathan Apasu meets an extraordinary guest: Prof. Dr. Hanns-Christian Gunga, a space medicine specialist, human physiologist, Charité professor, and recipient of the Federal Cross of Merit. For decades, Gunga has grappled with the fundamental question: How does the human body—and, above all, the human mind—react to extreme environmental conditions? This involves not only spectacular missions in space or Antarctica, but also the profound insights that can be gleaned from these extreme situations for our everyday lives, our health, and our future. Professor Gunga vividly recounts his research at extreme altitudes, in temperatures exceeding 45°C in West Africa, during weeks of isolation in confined spaces, and under the conditions of weightlessness on the ISS. He discusses how people with seemingly ordinary physical attributes surpass themselves in extreme endurance feats—for example, at the Yukon Arctic Ultra in minus 50°C or the Self-Transcendence Race in New York, a 4,980-kilometer ultramarathon. What drives these individuals? What happens in their bodies—and even more importantly, in their minds? Gunga demonstrates how mental strength, self-efficacy, and psychological preparation are often more crucial than mere physical fitness. This episode not only highlights top athletic achievements but also the global challenges of extreme living conditions: climate change, migration, and work incapacity due to heat stress – issues that affect millions of people and which Gunga substantiates with concrete physiological data and empirical evidence. Particularly striking is how small the biological window for human survival truly is – only about 1,000 meters of altitude between the deepest underwater habitats and the highest permanently inhabited places on Earth. And what happens when this window shifts due to environmental changes. The podcast highlights the importance of researching extreme environments for general medicine. Whether it's high blood pressure, cardiovascular stress, neurological reactions, or new insights into cancer therapy – many medical breakthroughs originate in extreme situations. Professor Gunga vividly explains how, for example, the storage of salt in the skin under isolation conditions was discovered and how this could help to better treat high blood pressure in the future. This episode offers a profound, exciting, and highly topical look into the limits—and possibilities—of the human body and mind. Anyone interested in sports, health, biohacking, mental strength, or the future of medicine should definitely not miss this episode.
