The Truth About the Midlife Crisis in Men w/ James Davis

In this episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay welcomes coaching psychologist and author James Davis. He unpacks one of the most under-discussed phases of a man’s life: the midlife crisis. Davis specializes in hormone health and andropause (commonly referred to as “male menopause”). He offers much-needed insight into the challenges that men experience from their 40s onward.

“The average 20-year-old guy today has lower testosterone than a 50-year-old did in the 1980s,” Davis reveals. He highlights the alarming trends in declining hormone levels. He explains that what many men mistakenly believe is aging or burnout might stem from a hormone imbalance. “We’re talking low libido, lack of focus, and just feeling like everything’s a chore.”

Davis is helping men recognize that a midlife crisis isn’t just emotional—it’s also deeply rooted in biology. “There’s a lot of shame and confusion. Guys don’t talk about it. But low testosterone isn’t about weakness—it’s about awareness,” he adds.
