In this episode we talk about happiness...and how it is in fact, a habit. Throughout life I'm sure, like us, you've experienced many times when you felt happy and then something, without warning took that feeling of happiness away. It could be the loss of a loved one, relationship, job, home or even our health.We can feel disappointed, sad and lost and our subconscious mind then hangs onto this and equates happiness with endings. Essentially it believes avoiding happiness avoids pain.So it stands to reason we need to consciously practice being happy again - and know it’s safe to do so.In this episode we explore what’s really going on, why there should be no guilt attached to feeling this way, and give you some tips on how to reclaim the happiness and joy you deserve…If you'd like to book a free discovery call with us, click the below link:https://midlifementors.kartra.com/calendar/bookJoin 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.

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.
