What does modern preventive medicine offer beyond rigid guidelines—especially for men between 40 and 60? Dr. Claudia Hennig (preventive medicine physician and board member of GSAAM & the Society for Prevention) talks with Dr. Jonathan Apasu about meaningful blood test results, hormonal balance, leaky gut, diabetes prevention, and why personal reference ranges are often more important than “normal ranges.” Plus: how to influence SHBG & free testosterone, when GLP-1 therapies can help, what cortisol really means, and how we can encourage more men to get preventive checkups.
