#56 - What your blood test results really mean - Step by Step | Dr. Helena Orfanos-Boeckel at Men's Health

In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with renowned internist and nephrologist Dr. Helena Orfanos-Boeckel about a topic that many underestimate, despite its central importance to one's health: the correct interpretation and classification of lab results. Using his own comprehensive blood test, which includes over 70 parameters, Dr. Apasu and Dr. Orfanos-Boeckel guide listeners step-by-step through key health markers such as kidney function, hormone levels, cholesterol, inflammatory markers, and vitamin D levels. This discussion highlights the complexity of modern laboratory diagnostics and how easily incomplete interpretation or incorrect assumptions can lead to a false sense of security. The discussion compares two different kidney markers, creatinine and cystatin C, to demonstrate how muscle mass, exercise, and diet can distort the classic values. Dr. Apasu's testosterone levels are also discussed in detail. This includes not only total testosterone but also free testosterone, SHBG levels, and the underlying hormonal regulatory circuits. Particularly interesting is the analysis of elevated cholesterol levels in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle, including an assessment of the genetic risk profile and the significance of lipoprotein(a), ApoB, and small LDL cholesterol. The podcast episode makes it clear that high LDL levels do not automatically require treatment if certain protective factors are also present. Furthermore, Dr. Orfanos-Boeckel addresses the widespread misconception that vitamin D supplements are universally effective and demonstrates, using specific data, that individual absorption, genetic factors, and co-factors such as magnesium, boron, and vitamin K2 are crucial. She explains the importance of regularly monitoring nutrient and hormone levels and not relying solely on general reference values. The episode also provides well-founded information on the connection between blood pressure, inflammatory markers, vascular health, and the risk of cardiovascular disease. This episode offers a practical and in-depth introduction to the world of functional laboratory diagnostics and is aimed at anyone who doesn't want to leave their health to chance. It vividly demonstrates that a complete blood count alone is insufficient to make truly relevant statements about one's health status, and that prevention begins with a willingness to look more closely. A must-see for anyone who takes men's health seriously and wants to optimize it based on evidence.

#50 - Testosteron: Zwischen Wissenschaft und Stigma | Prof. Dr. Farid Saad bei Männergesundheit

#50 - Testosterone: Between Science and Stigma | Prof. Dr. Farid Saad at Men's Health

In this episode of the Men's Health podcast, Dr. Apasu speaks with renowned hormone researcher Prof. Dr. Farid Saad about the often misunderstood hormone testosterone. The two experts explore how the understanding of testosterone has changed over the decades – from a purely sex hormone to a crucial regulator of metabolism, body composition, motivation, inflammation, and chronic diseases. Prof. Saad explains why testosterone not only influences libido and potency but can also have a significant impact on type 2 diabetes, obesity, Crohn's disease, and psoriasis in men. A particular focus is placed on the link between testosterone deficiency and autoimmune diseases, as well as the role of the inflammatory marker TNF-alpha. The episode also reveals how economic interests and a lack of patent protection are hindering research and medical recognition of the hormone. It addresses the lack of funding, the importance of large placebo-controlled trials, the challenges of evidence-based medicine, and the reluctance of many physicians to even consider testosterone therapy. The role of the pharmaceutical industry, medical societies, and conference structures is also critically examined. Dr. Saad provides insights into observational studies that show testosterone therapy can lead to significant improvements in certain patient groups – even though these studies have so far received little attention in clinical guidelines. Another key topic is the role of testosterone in the longevity and anti-aging movement. Professor Saad sees great potential here: informed patients who take prevention seriously could significantly advance the debate. The episode calls for a rethinking of testosterone – as an important biomarker for men's health, as an opportunity for prevention, and as a potential tool against the progression of chronic diseases. It highlights the importance of education, individual responsibility, and regular use in therapy. Anyone interested in hormone balance, men's health, biohacking, or healthy longevity shouldn't miss this episode.

In this episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Professor Dr. Dominik Pförringer, one of Germany's most renowned orthopedic surgeons, a researcher, and an expert in digital medicine, is our guest. Together with Dr. Jonathan Apasu, he discusses the most common orthopedic problems in men, such as back pain, joint wear and tear, osteoporosis, postural problems caused by sedentary office jobs, and improper strain during sports. They explore why back pain affects up to 80 percent of men, how digital devices change our posture, and what truly helps us live pain-free in the long term. Professor Pförringer clearly explains the role that proper posture, varied movement in daily life, and targeted strength training play in orthopedic health, and why balance is the key. A particular focus is placed on the often underestimated risk of osteoporosis in men, as well as on which early detection measures are advisable and how bone health can be maintained through nutrition, vitamin D, and targeted exercise. The topic of hyaluronic acid injections is also covered in detail: when they are helpful, how they work, and what to consider. Furthermore, the podcast addresses effective training methods for prevention, the importance of gait and posture analysis, the role of braces and orthotics, and modern digital approaches such as rehabilitation apps to support long-term therapy. The podcast also explores the opportunities and limitations of alternative treatment approaches such as osteopathy and chiropractic, and why sound training and experience of practitioners are crucial. This episode provides practical expert knowledge, explained clearly and scientifically sound. It is aimed at all men who want to better understand their musculoskeletal system and take targeted steps for their health, whether they are athletically active, have demanding office jobs, or are already experiencing discomfort. By listening to your body early and acting wisely, you can effectively prevent many orthopedic problems and secure your quality of life in the long term.
