#89 - TRT & Peptides: The Legal Boundaries | Dr. Maik Bunzel at Men's Health

Dr. Jonathan Apasu

Testosteron Experte von Adon Health

Testosterone, TRT, peptides, biohacking – what sounds medically sound can quickly become legally dangerous. In this episode of the Men's Health Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Apasu speaks with criminal defense attorney and doping law expert Dr. Maik Bunzel about the often underestimated legal risks surrounding testosterone replacement therapy, doping law, and research chemicals.

Together they clarify when testosterone possession is a criminal offense, why anti-doping laws play a special role, what a doctor's prescription truly protects, and where even biohacking quickly slips into a gray area. They also discuss peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500, online orders, Amazon scams, sports law, house searches, and the question of how real the risk actually is for ordinary men.

Topics in this episode:

  • Why testosterone is not a “normal” drug

  • Prescription vs. black market: When possession becomes a crime

  • TRT, biohacking & legal gray areas

  • Peptides & Research Chemicals: Criminal Offense or Administrative Offense?

  • Anti-doping law, quantity limits & reversal of the burden of proof

  • Legal consequences under sports law despite a doctor's prescription

  • Typical mistakes when ordering online and buying on Amazon

This episode is a must-see for all men who are dealing with testosterone, hormone optimization or peptides - before things get serious.

#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.

#88 - Longevity 101: The most important basics | Kristine Zeller at Men's Health

Longevity is far more than just a trend, but amidst conflicting nutritional concepts, training dogmas, and biohacking extremes, many people lose track. In this in-depth podcast episode, Kristine Zeller explains why true longevity doesn't come from perfection, but from consistently implementing fundamental principles. The focus is on the four scientifically recognized pillars of longevity: nutrition, exercise, recovery, and emotional well-being. Kristine demonstrates why a plant-based diet with sufficient protein is the foundation for muscle growth, metabolic health, and hormonal balance. She explains why 1.2 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight are essential for active individuals and why supplements like protein shakes can be beneficial. When it comes to exercise, she debunks myths. Longevity requires not only strength training, but also everyday movement, Zone 2 endurance training, and targeted high-intensity stimuli. What's particularly important is not the intensity, but the long-term routine. Kristine shares concrete habit strategies that make it possible to sustainably integrate exercise into even the most stressful daily life. Another focus is the often underestimated role of sleep. Regular sleep patterns, conscious caffeine consumption, and an understanding of the circadian rhythm are explained as key levers for regeneration, hormone production, and mental performance. The episode concludes with a discussion of emotional health. Kristine introduces the scientifically based Pennebaker Writing Protocol, a simple journaling tool that has been proven to strengthen resilience, reduce stress, and process emotional burdens. This episode is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to not only understand longevity in theory, but also live it practically. Clear, actionable, and without unnecessary complexity.
