#34 - 22-facher Weltmeister über Mindset & Disziplin | Dardan Morina bei Männergesundheit

#34 - 22-time world champion on mindset & discipline | Dardan Morina at Men's Health

Dardan Morina, 22-time kickboxing world champion, successful entrepreneur, and sought-after speaker, discusses the most important principles for success in sports, business, and life in this podcast episode. He shares his experiences from over 250 fights and explains the role that discipline, mental strength, and perseverance play in maintaining a top-level performance over the long term. A key point is the importance of resilience and the ability to view setbacks not as defeats, but as learning opportunities. Dardan describes how he maintained his position at the top of the world rankings for over a decade, which routines and mindsets supported him, and why hope without action leads to failure. Another important topic in the episode is men's health, and in particular the increasing prevalence of testosterone deficiency in today's society. Men's testosterone levels have been steadily declining over the past few decades, negatively impacting energy levels, performance, muscle growth, fat burning, and mental strength. Dardan speaks with Jonathan Apasu about why this decline is so significant, which factors such as diet, lack of exercise, being overweight, and environmental toxins contribute to it, and what men can actively do to optimize their hormonal balance. They address common misconceptions surrounding testosterone and explain why a balanced hormonal system is essential for men to maintain their physical and mental performance. Furthermore, the presentation explores the significance of martial arts as a school of life. Dardan explains why martial arts not only improves physical fitness but also fosters mental clarity, reduces stress, and boosts self-confidence. He shares his own experiences of how martial arts has shaped him, why it can have a transformative effect on many men, and how the ability to assert oneself physically is also advantageous in both professional and personal life. Another key point is the question of discipline and why many men today struggle to stick to their goals in the long term. Dardan discusses how to cultivate discipline, why self-responsibility is the key to a successful life, and why many men let themselves go too much in their daily lives. He criticizes the fact that men often spend more time and energy taking care of their cars than their own bodies, and emphasizes that a healthy lifestyle is not a luxury, but a necessity. The episode also addresses the importance of building a strong support network. Dardan discusses how personal success often depends on the people you surround yourself with and how crucial it is to distance yourself from negative influences. He shares his perspective on success, motivation, and the ability to think solution-oriented in any situation. This episode offers valuable insights into the mindset of a world champion, provides practical tips for increasing discipline and performance, and highlights important aspects of men's health. Anyone who wants to understand what it takes to reach the next level physically and mentally shouldn't miss this episode.

#59 - Scheinfasten erklärt: So regenerierst Du ohne Hunger | Nancy Rizos bei Männergesundheit

#59 - Fasting-mimicking diet explained: How to regenerate without hunger | Nancy Rizos at Men's Health

In this episode of the "Men's Health" podcast with Dr. Jonathan Apasu, Dr. Apasu speaks with certified fasting coach and nutrition expert Nancy Rizos about the revolutionary fasting method of intermittent fasting. This scientifically sound, practical form of fasting works without completely abstaining from food, yet still activates key regenerative processes such as ketosis, autophagy, and cellular cleansing. The conversation explores in detail how intermittent fasting works, which biological mechanisms occur in the body, and why men in particular can benefit greatly from this method. Nancy Rizos explains the differences between traditional therapeutic fasting, intermittent fasting, and the modern fasting-mimicking diet, which is based on the research of Prof. Dr. Valter Longo. She describes how fasting-mimicking diets, with 800 to 1100 calories per day for five days, are carried out, how they help to specifically reduce visceral fat while preserving muscle mass, and how they promote neurobiological processes such as BDNF production and stem cell activation. In addition to its effects on metabolism and weight, hormonal aspects play a central role, especially in men with estrogen dominance, elevated cortisol levels, or testosterone deficiency. The conversation makes it clear that intermittent fasting not only contributes to physical detoxification and weight management, but also promotes mental clarity, improved sleep quality, and emotional resilience. Nancy provides practical guidance on what a typical day of intermittent fasting looks like, recommends specific recipes, and explains why high-quality fats and low protein are crucial for the fasting effect. She also explains the importance of proper refeeding—the targeted, gradual reintroduction of food after the five days—to avoid overwhelming the body and to ensure the positive effects are maintained. For many men, intermittent fasting is a gateway to a healthier lifestyle. The method is suitable for both long-term prevention and as a kickstart to increased energy, improved hormonal balance, and sustainable body transformation. Regular fasting also trains metabolic flexibility and improves the ability to switch between sugar and fat metabolism. Studies even show that regular intermittent fasting can significantly lower biological age. This episode provides in-depth expertise, practical tips, and motivating inspiration for men who want to actively improve their health. Whether for performance enhancement, hormonal balance, or as a reset for body and mind – intermittent fasting is a method with measurable benefits. Anyone wanting to understand how cell rejuvenation, fat loss, and mental strength are possible without radical dieting will find all the answers in this conversation.

#32 - Kyrotherapie für Regeneration und Performance | Tekin Özdemir bei Männergesundheit

#32 - Cryotherapy for Regeneration and Performance | Tekin Özdemir at Men's Health

In this episode of Men's Health, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with Tekin Özdemir, the founder of Cool Box 85, about the impressive effects of cryotherapy and its application in competitive sports and pain management. Tekin Özdemir came to cryotherapy as a career changer after searching for an effective weight loss method. Following his own initial success with cryotherapy, he recognized the enormous potential of this method and decided to establish his own recovery and performance center. Today, he and his team treat not only Bundesliga soccer players and professional boxers, but also patients with chronic illnesses such as rheumatism or osteoarthritis. Cryotherapy is no longer used solely for regeneration after athletic exertion, but also for pain management and even to support treatment for depression and burnout. Studies show that the extreme cold not only has an anti-inflammatory effect, but also stimulates the release of endorphins, which can have a positive impact on overall well-being. Tekin Özdemir reports on how cryotherapy has developed in recent years and why more and more professional athletes are integrating this method into their recovery routines. He explains why cryochambers are significantly more effective than cold showers or ice baths and how targeted cold stimulation can improve performance. In addition to recovery, cryotherapy also plays a role in prevention, as it promotes blood circulation and strengthens the immune system. Another aspect of the discussion is the increasing acceptance of cryotherapy in medical practice. While private health insurance companies already cover costs in some cases, some statutory health insurance companies are also beginning to address the issue. Nevertheless, reservations remain, particularly among physicians deeply rooted in traditional treatment methods. Tekin Özdemir is convinced that this will change in the coming years and that cryotherapy will find a permanent place in modern medicine and sports. In this episode, Dr. Jonathan Apasu and Tekin Özdemir not only shed light on the scientific background of cryotherapy, but also provide practical insights into how cold applications can be meaningfully integrated into everyday life. They discuss the differences between various cryochambers, how the technology has developed in recent years, and what other innovative methods in the field of regeneration are currently being researched. This episode provides valuable insights for anyone interested in performance-enhancing, regeneration-promoting, and health-maintaining methods. Whether you're an ambitious athlete, a pain patient, or a health-conscious individual – cryotherapy could be a crucial component for improved well-being and performance.
