#73 - From NFL pro to elite coach: Strength & Health | Christian Mohr at Men's Health
In this episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Christian Mohr, former NFL player, sports scientist, and founder of the More Power Concept. Christian has taken the extraordinary path from a career changer to the NFL to an elite coach. Today, he works with world-class athletes in boxing, soccer, and martial arts, as well as with everyday people who want to stay healthy, strong, and perform at their best. The conversation explores what true performance really means and why physical strength is inseparable from mental discipline. Christian explains what it means to be coachable, how the right attitude enables success, and why training should always be geared towards long-term health. Together with Dr. Apasu, he discusses how diagnostics and technology are making training smarter, from video analysis and mobility tests to blood tests that provide insights into nutrition, recovery, and hormonal balance. A key topic is blood testing in sports and preventative healthcare. Christian and Dr. Apasu discuss which values are truly important, how to use vitamin D or zinc effectively, and how testosterone levels are influenced by lifestyle, stress management, and sleep. The focus is not on artificial therapies, but rather on natural ways to support hormonal balance and maintain performance. Furthermore, Christian provides practical insights into how exercise and routines can fit into a busy daily life, especially for men with families and little time. He shows that 30 minutes of training can be sufficient if used correctly, and that simple principles such as consistency, basic exercises, and functional movements are more effective in the long run than excessive intensity. This episode connects performance and longevity, science and everyday life, mindset and physical health. It shows that true strength originates not only in the muscle, but above all in the mind. It's a conversation about discipline, prevention, responsibility, and the ambition to be the man you're proud to be.

#55 - Testosterone deficiency despite the best lifestyle | Fabian Müller at Men's Health
In this thought-provoking episode of the "Men's Health" podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Hyrox athlete, health coach, and entrepreneur Fabian Müller about a topic that has received far too little attention in public discourse: testosterone deficiency in men who appear outwardly healthy, athletic, and high-performing. Fabian openly shares his personal story, which challenges many clichés about men's hormone levels. Despite daily training, a disciplined diet, and a tightly scheduled lifestyle, he suddenly experienced symptoms such as exhaustion, lack of energy, and loss of libido. The turning point came when a comprehensive blood test revealed a severe testosterone deficiency. What followed was a long odyssey through the German healthcare system. Fabian recounts conflicting medical opinions, a lack of clarity about possible causes, and the frustration of feeling abandoned as a patient. Only after numerous hormonal function tests and an MRI was an adenoma in his pituitary gland discovered—a benign tumor that was affecting his hormone production. But even then, uncertainty remained as to whether this was truly the cause of his hormone deficiency. The complexity of his case became emblematic of many men who experience similar symptoms but find no answers. Fabian found his contact with Adon Health and hormone expert Prof. Dr. Zitzmann particularly valuable. For the first time, he felt understood, taken seriously, and, above all, given solution-oriented advice. Instead of focusing solely on the cause, they discussed realistic treatment options together. For Fabian, this was a crucial step back towards a better quality of life, increased energy, and improved athletic performance. In addition to the physical component, Fabian also speaks about the immense importance of mental health. Chronic stress, high cortisol levels, and sustained emotional strain have been proven to have a negative impact on hormone balance. To address this preventively, he and his team developed the supplement SOHA, which relies on adaptogenic plant compounds to strengthen mental resilience. He also founded the Neverstop community, where men can openly discuss their health challenges—from training and nutrition to inner struggles, self-doubt, and mental strength. This podcast episode is a powerful example of the importance of a holistic approach to men's health. It shows that even fit, young men can be affected, that symptoms must be taken seriously, and that education, community, and modern approaches like those offered by Adon Health can make a real difference. Anyone who wants to understand what hormonal health truly means and how to actively take responsibility for their own well-being will find inspiration, knowledge, and honest stories in this episode that encourage reflection and action.

#70 - How depression manifests in men | Prof. Dr. Siegfried Kaspar at Men's Health
Depression in men is a frequently overlooked and underestimated condition. While women more often present with classic symptoms such as sadness, lack of motivation, or social withdrawal, the illness often manifests itself quite differently in men. Instead of quiet sadness, irritability, anger, aggression, and restless hyperactivity dominate. Many men experience physical symptoms such as chest tightness, headaches, or increased sweating, so they don't consider a psychological cause and initially consult their general practitioner. Another reason for the delayed diagnosis is men's lower tendency to seek help. While women are more likely to seek support in stressful situations, men often react with fight-or-flight behavior. They distract themselves, work excessively, or turn to alcohol, which masks the actual illness. As a result, depression in men is less frequently recognized, often goes untreated for longer, and can lead to severe cases with an increased risk of suicide. In this podcast episode, Professor Dr. Siegfried Kasper, one of the most internationally renowned psychiatrists, explains why the standard diagnostic criteria are insufficient for reliably identifying depression in men. He shows which symptoms are most prominent, how doctors can ask the right questions, and why language is crucial for reaching affected men. Furthermore, the most important biological and social factors that influence the development and course of depression are examined. Particular attention is paid to therapeutic options. In addition to thorough diagnostics, including thyroid and hormone levels, the focus is on selecting appropriate forms of psychotherapy, the effects of medication, and the role of modern procedures such as transcranial magnetic stimulation or esketamine. Equally important are measures to strengthen resilience, such as stable social relationships, a regular sleep schedule, and abstaining from alcohol. This episode offers a comprehensive overview of the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of depression in men. It highlights the differences between male and female manifestations and demonstrates why timely help is crucial. Thus, the podcast provides valuable knowledge not only for professionals but also guidance for those affected and their families who finally want to understand what depression in men truly looks like.
