The Midlife Mentors

On this week’s episode James flies solo as he talks to Ross Tomkins of Alphagenix about the role for testosterone replacement therapy for men facing the andropause.As men age natural levels of testosterone drop steadily year by year, and by the time a man is in his late 30s, 40s or 50s, his testosterone levels could be 30 to 50% lower than they were in his 20s.That can mean loss of muscle, loss of strength, energy, confidence, increased weight gain, brain fog, falling motivation, and loss of libido.While lifestyle factors can play a part in helping keep natural hormone levels elevated, if testosterone is already low, then TRT may be an option to alleviate the symptoms and improve quality of life.Find out more about the andropause, TRT and Ross’s own journey as we chat all things testosterone.

It’s crazy to think that as we headed into the tail end of 2019, we had a vague idea of wanting to provide more tools and support for midlifers, which is how The Midlife Mentors podcast was born.Fast forward through a pandemic that shut the world (and our main business) down for almost two years and that podcast is now in the top 1.5% globally, and we get messages from listeners around the world.In this episode, recorded on our wedding anniversary, we share a little about the last few years and encourage you to never underestimate the importance of small steps to make big progress over time - nor the impact of being bold with your choices.Join our free Facebook Group: The Midlife Mentors Community - where we connect with you all on a daily basis.https://www.facebook.com/groups/themidlifementorscommunityAnd go to our website for more information:https://themidlifementors.comAnd please do review and share this podcast so we can help more midlifers achieve health and happiness.You can also find free workshops, coaching, workouts and coffee mornings at our youtube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/themidlifementorsInstagram: @midlifementorsEmail: team@themidlifementors.comThe Midlife Male Handbook available now:AmazonWaterstonesWH Smith Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.
