#75 - Rotation - How to train truly functionally | Gravity coach Manuel Guarrera at Men's Health
In this episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Manuel Guarera, founder of Gravity Coach, about the hidden cause of many training problems in men. Although many train regularly and take their routines seriously, most feel stiffer, less flexible, or struggle with pain that persists despite muscle building as they age. Manuel explains why traditional training often misses the mark when it comes to the body's natural functioning and why returning to natural movement and rotation is key to true performance and freedom from pain. The body is evolutionarily designed to constantly work in opposition during movement—arms and legs swing in different directions, and rotation originates in the spine. Ignoring these movement principles in training will, in the long run, block the body's natural dynamics. In the interview, Manuel describes how, after years of intensive training, he discovered that muscle strength alone isn't enough to keep the body healthy and flexible. Instead, coordination, rotation, and conscious movement are crucial for making stability and strength truly practical for everyday life. Single-leg exercises, such as split squats, single-leg Romanian deadlifts, or half-kneeling cable presses, promote balance and genuine core stability because they improve the interplay between the pelvis and shoulders. This principle, often referred to as the serape effect, ensures that power flows elegantly and efficiently through the body—instead of making it rigid. Another key topic is natural running, which involves running with natural foot mechanics and minimalist shoes. Manuel explains why barefoot shoes and forefoot running techniques can be beneficial when introduced with patience and conscious adaptation. The goal is to understand the body's foundation—the feet—once again as active sensors that stabilize movements and efficiently transfer energy. Besides training and exercise, the importance of breathing is also crucial. The interplay between the diaphragm and pelvic floor is just as important for men as for women, but is often neglected. Conscious breathing after training activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting recovery and hormonal balance. Especially after intense workouts, a five-minute focus on breathing helps release tension in the torso, stabilize blood pressure, and improve regeneration. Dr. Apasu and Manuel emphasize that intelligent training doesn't mean doing less, but training smarter. It's about bringing the principles of natural movement back into the gym, complementing linear exercises with rotational patterns, and rethinking the connection between mind, breath, and body. Understanding how movement works in all three planes—sagittal, frontal, and transverse—allows you to optimize your training in the long term and prevent injuries. This episode offers practical tips on how men can rethink their training routines and bring more mobility, strength, and ease into their daily lives through conscious adjustments. It shows that training is more than just building muscle—it's a tool for experiencing your body again as a functional, complex system. Anyone wanting to understand how to train and how the body is truly structured will find valuable insights and concrete approaches to sustainable men's health here.

#51 - Why you're tired despite 8 hours of sleep | Dr. Martin Schlott at Men's Health
Sleep problems are among the most common, yet often underestimated, challenges for men who have to cope with a performance-oriented daily life. In this episode of the men's health podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Dr. Martin Schlott, a specialist in anesthesiology, head of intensive care, and experienced sleep coach, about the scientific and practical foundations of restful sleep. The conversation delves deeply into the causes of and solutions for sleep disorders and offers valuable insights for men who finally want to understand why they often wake up feeling unrested despite getting enough sleep. A central theme is the distinction between difficulty falling asleep and difficulty staying asleep. Dr. Schlott explains why many men struggle to unwind in the evenings, how racing thoughts and unconscious stress patterns affect sleep, and why the body is often still in a state of alert at night, even though rest is needed. At the same time, the importance of consciously managing the daily routine becomes clear – from ensuring sufficient daylight, regular exercise, and proper timing of physical activity to managing caffeine and alcohol consumption. The connection between modern lifestyles and disrupted sleep patterns is explored, as is the often overlooked role of internal drivers and mental stressors that can date back to childhood. A special focus is placed on sleep phases – particularly deep sleep and REM sleep – and their importance for physical regeneration, hormone production, and emotional stability. Dr. Schlott demonstrates how the quality of these sleep phases can be specifically improved and why the goal is not only longer sleep duration but also higher sleep quality. This also includes strategies for staying as rested as possible, even under challenging conditions such as jet lag, shift work, or professional stress. In addition to the physiological basics, Dr. Schlott provides specific recommendations for the use of supplements and micronutrients, including magnesium in a suitable form, B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and herbal preparations such as ashwagandha or L-theanine. The role of melatonin is also examined in detail – both with regard to the body's own production and its responsible use as a dietary supplement. Furthermore, the book covers practical tips such as sleep anchors, scent-based sleep aids, consciously designing the sleep environment, the importance of room temperature, light regulation, and sleeping position, as well as new approaches like tilted beds or grounding mats. This episode is a well-founded yet practical guide for men who want to understand and improve their sleep. It offers in-depth knowledge, relevant tips for everyday life, and numerous starting points for optimizing your own sleep. Anyone who is constantly tired, doesn't feel rested despite eight hours of sleep, or wants to specifically work on their physical and mental performance will find answers and inspiration of the highest caliber here.
