#67 - Männerherzen schlagen anders: Prävention statt Infarkt | Prof. Nixdorff bei Männergesundheit
< 1 Minute Lesezeit |

#67 - Men's hearts beat differently: Prevention instead of heart attack | Prof. Nixdorff at Men's Health

Dr. Jonathan Apasu

Testosteron Experte von Adon Health

Professor Dr. Uwe Nixdorff, cardiologist, preventive medicine specialist, and founder of the European Prevention Center, explains why men's hearts really do "beat differently" and how we can prevent heart attacks before they occur. We discuss evidence-based prevention instead of hype, modern imaging techniques (ultrasound, calcium score & CCTA, whole-body MRI), and why self-efficacy, exercise, and stress management ultimately deliver more benefits than taking the 100th birth control pill.

Topics in this episode:

  • Men vs. women: Estrogen protection, risk profiles & why men develop atherosclerosis earlier

  • Early vascular changes: What Vietnam GI data show about “fatty streaks”

  • Imaging that saves lives: Ultrasound, coronary artery disease calcium score, CT angiography & 5% surgical findings in whole-body MRI

  • Understanding false positives: Why integration (medical history, lab results, scores) is crucial

  • Erectile dysfunction as a "divining rod" for coronary heart disease and how to react correctly

  • Longevity hype vs. evidence: Lifestyle beats technocracy

  • Effective training: 30 minutes of endurance daily, 2x strength, coordination

  • Obesity & cardiometabolic syndrome: GLP-1/GIP as an option, but lifestyle first.

  • Testosterone deficiency: Think critically, treat interdisciplinarily

  • Stress medicine: HRV, questionnaires, coaching, objective measurement, targeted reduction

  • Appeal: More mindfulness & self-efficacy

#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.

#55 - Testosteronmangel trotz bestem Lebensstil | Fabian Müller bei Männergesundheit

#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.
