Your 40s can bring some changes that are easy to brush off as just getting older, but any good provider should look deeper than simply blaming your symptoms on age.

In this episode of “The Longevity Lounge,” @‌marons.do and I discuss some of the symptoms men may notice in their 40s and whether low testosterone could be contributing to them.

At Vitality, we believe symptoms shouldn’t automatically be dismissed as a normal part of aging. Everyone deserves a provider who takes their concerns seriously and looks deeper to understand what’s really going on.

The latest episode of “The Longevity Lounge” is out now!

This week, I’m joined by Maxwell Arons, DO | Primary Care, Wellness, Longevity for a conversation all about testosterone, what it does, what the numbers REALLY mean, common misconceptions, when testosterone therapy is the right thing to do, and when other avenues may make more sense.

There’s a lot of noise around testosterone lately, and we wanted to cut through it by talking about the science and actual clinical experience.

If testosterone replacement therapy is something you’ve been thinking about, questioning, or just want to understand better, this episode is for you.

What does men’s health really look like when we stop treating it as just a number on a lab report?

In the next episode of “The Longevity Lounge,” I’m joined by @‌marons.do for a conversation about testosterone, men’s health, and what can happen when hormone levels start to change.

We talk about the symptoms that can often be overlooked, the connection between testosterone and overall health, and why looking at the bigger picture matters when it comes to deciding how to raise hormone levels.

Catch this episode when it premieres tomorrow, wherever you get your podcasts! And follow along for even more from the Lounge.

When it comes to hormone therapy, some of the most helpful information can come from tracking the things that often feel unrelated, like your day-to-day symptoms, cycle, sleep, mood, and energy.

That information gives you and your provider something more meaningful to work with than simply trying to remember how you felt at your last appointment.

And just as importantly, you have to advocate for yourself. If something doesn’t feel right, ask questions. Keep track of what’s changing. The more information you bring to the conversation, the better the conversation can be.

One thing I’ve learned over the years is that some of the most important parts of a patient’s health don’t always come up in a typical appointment.

Sleep. S*x. Energy. Stress. How you’re actually feeling day to day.

Sometimes those conversations get missed simply because there isn’t enough time to have them. And that’s no fault of primary care, but rather a result of the system that has been built up over the years.

We’ve created a healthcare system where appointments are often structured around a specific complaint or problem that needs to be addressed. But health is much bigger than the reason you walked through the door that day.

Sometimes, you have to slow down, ask a few more questions, and actually listen to the answers. That’s where you start to understand what’s really going on with someone, not just what shows up on their problem list.

Hormones aren’t static, and women’s health shouldn’t be approached as if they are.

Last week, @‌renata.gazzi and I got into the different points in a woman’s life when hormones can shift significantly, and why understanding that history can be so important when looking at what happens during menopause.

A patient’s experiences during puberty, after pregnancy, or during perimenopause can provide valuable context when we’re trying to understand her current symptoms and determine what care may make sense.

We also talk about hormone replacement therapy and how differently patients can respond to treatment.

That’s why I believe good care starts with understanding the whole story, not just where someone is today, but how they got there.

One of the biggest mistakes we can make in medicine is assuming that everything important can be measured on a lab report.

In this episode of “The Longevity Lounge,” @‌renata.gazzi and I talk about what can get missed when we reduce something as complex as menopause to a set of numbers.

As physicians, we have access to more data than ever, but data without context can only take us so far.

Understanding a patient means understanding the person behind the results: what has changed, what they’re experiencing, and how those changes are affecting their everyday life.

That’s why good menopause care starts with a conversation. The goal isn’t simply to interpret a result; it’s to put the pieces together and understand the full picture.

Dr. Gazzi brings an important perspective to this conversation, and there’s a lot more that we unpack in the full episode which you can experience through the link in my bio.

One of the things I’ve learned throughout my career is that medicine rarely fits into absolutes.

What works incredibly well for one patient may not be the right approach for another. Patients have different histories, biology, circumstances, goals, and responses to treatment. That means being a good or even decent physician requires more than knowing the guidelines or following the standard approach, it requires listening, asking questions, and being willing to adapt.

Medicine is constantly evolving, and so should the way we care for people.

I believe our responsibility as physicians is not to find one answer and apply it to everyone. It’s to understand the person sitting in front of us and determine what makes the most sense for them.

That’s where good medicine begins.

The progress we’ve made in fertility care and reproductive medicine matters tremendously, and I’m glad we’ve continued to advance that conversation. But women’s health shouldn’t become less of a medical priority once reproduction is no longer the focus.

Not every woman wants to have children. But every woman will eventually go through menopause and for far too long, menopause has felt like a missing chapter in the larger conversation about women’s health, which is crazy when you consider that it’s a major biological transition that can affect women for years.

In this episode of “The Longevity Lounge,” @‌renata.gazzi and I dig into the biology behind hormones and aging and why we need to think differently about the years that follow.

For me, this is part of a much bigger shift in medicine: making sure women have meaningful, evidence-based care throughout their entire lives, not just when it comes to reproduction.

Throughout both my personal life and career, I’ve learned that not everything you learn has an obvious purpose in the moment.

A skill, a conversation, a difficult experience, or even something that felt completely unrelated to where you thought you were headed, it can all become useful later in ways you couldn’t have predicted.

That’s been especially true for me as I’ve moved from practicing medicine to building a business. Studies and research, like queuing theory, that I once thought I would never personally be able to implement became a foundation for how we approached challenges during the pandemic.

You don’t always know what’s going to stick with you, and you certainly don’t know what the future has in store, no matter how much you may think you do.

So instead, keep learning. Keep asking questions. Keep exposing yourself to new ideas. You never know when something you learned years ago will become exactly what you need later.
