#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.

#64 - What men really need to know about strength training | Dr. Sascha Gail at Men's Health
In this episode of "Men's Health with Dr. Jonathan Apasu," Dr. Sascha Gail is our guest – a sports scientist and coach with decades of experience in fitness, muscle building, and performance optimization. Together, they discuss what an intelligent training plan should look like – whether your goal is muscle building, strength gains, fat loss, or improved overall health. A key topic is the distinction between hypertrophy training and maximum strength training. Dr. Gail explains how different repetition ranges and training volumes should be used effectively – adapted to daily life, age, and goals. The presentation also covers specific training plans for men between 30 and 60 who have limited time but still want to make visible and health-related progress. Another important topic: the role of leg training. Why it's crucial not only for aesthetics, but also for hormonal health, energy expenditure, and everyday functionality. You'll also learn how to recognize overtraining, what constitutes a sensible combination of strength and endurance training, and which supplements actually make a difference—from omega-3 and vitamin D to creatine and testosterone boosters. An exciting highlight of the episode: Dr. Gail tells the story of an athlete who competes as a bodybuilder in the world championships and simultaneously attempts a world record in triathlon - a prime example of combining strength and endurance at the highest level. This episode provides scientifically sound, practical tips for all men who want to train effectively and healthily – with a focus on sustainability, individuality, and everyday practicality.

#83 - Overweight: Causes, Risks & Weight Loss | Prof. Harald Schneider at Men's Health
Overweight and obesity have become one of the biggest health problems in our society in recent decades. In this in-depth podcast interview, endocrinologist Dr. Harald explains why more than half of adults in Germany are now considered overweight and why these numbers continue to rise. Men are particularly affected. The episode shows why the Body Mass Index (BMI) alone is not a reliable health marker and why the waist-to-height ratio (WHR) is a significantly better predictor of disease risk. A central topic is visceral fat, the fat surrounding the internal organs. This adipose tissue is hormonally active, promotes chronic inflammation, and impairs blood sugar, fat, and hormone metabolism. The consequences include high blood pressure, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, heart attack, stroke, and an increased risk of cancer. Hormonal disorders such as testosterone deficiency in men or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women are also explained in detail. Another focus is on the role of muscle mass. Muscle improves insulin sensitivity, increases basal metabolic rate, and is one of the most important factors for healthy aging and longevity. Muscle loss, for example through improper weight loss, significantly accelerates the aging process and increases the risk of weight regain. Modern weight-loss medications such as GLP-1 agonists, for example semaglutide or tirzepatide, are discussed in detail. These medications act on the hunger centers in the brain, slow down gastric emptying, and help people with obesity to lose weight sustainably. Studies show weight reductions of 15 to 20 percent as well as significant improvements in blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, and cardiovascular risks. At the same time, the discussion critically examines why these medications are not a lifestyle product, what side effects exist, and why medical supervision is essential. The central conclusion of this episode is clear: sustainable weight loss only works holistically. Medication can be supportive, but only in combination with strength training, sufficient protein intake, and long-term lifestyle changes. This episode provides sound medical knowledge, puts current fads into perspective, and shows what genuine health improvement can look like beyond diets and the scale.
