Dr. Rudy shares his personal journey with hormonal changes, opening up about the real signs and symptoms men face as testosterone naturally declines with age. Together, they break down how andropause affects everything from energy and motivation to brain function and relationships, and why traditional medicine often overlooks these issues.

The discussion dives deep into the environmental factors making hormonal imbalances more common and explores how lifestyle, stress, and even microplastics in our environment are accelerating these changes.
