Episode 61: Expat Health: The Overlooked Change: Male Hormones and Ageing
Description
Understanding Male Menopause: Signs, Symptoms, and Solutions
In this episode of Truly Expat Podcast, hosts Rachel and Paula delve into the rarely discussed topic of men's hormones with Dr Caroline Low, a family physician in Singapore specialising in hormone health and proactive ageing. The discussion covers the insidious nature of hormonal changes in men, including the gradual decline of testosterone and the rise of estrogen after the age of 40. Unlike women's menopause, where symptoms are more abrupt and well-known, men often go unaware of their hormonal shifts, leading to mood swings, weight gain, decreased motivation, and potential erectile dysfunction. Dr. Lowe explains how lifestyle choices, stress, and diet affect hormonal balance and provides practical tips on maintaining this balance. The conversation reveals the profound impact of hormonal changes on men's physical and emotional well-being and highlights the need for better education and support around this issue.
