As someone who grew up in a household where these discussions of sex and even genital health were very unacceptable, this discussion covered in less than 2 hours most of what it took me years to figure out on my own. Thank you for helping people get the information I didn't have.
It wasn’t/ isn’t talked about in my family either and I’m the type of person that feels more pleasure than others and have a tendency to get overstimulated/ overwhelmed a lot (could be a sign of too much dopamine in my brain). I’ve always felt shameful about ‘having alone time’
I don't know I think a lot of guy just thinks more is better and bigger is better it gets to the point they become obsessed with it even if there the only one who notices.
Thanks for having this conversation in public. ED is so often ridiculed in our society, while it can take a significant toll on a man's mental health. It's good to see people like you two changing that narrative into something healthy and helpful.
@daveburgan MUCH bigger connection with insulin resistance/ prediabetes, because that damages the circulatory system, causing inability to have blood to flow in. All the ultra processed products, added sugars, seed oils, and poor muscle health, lack of quality sleep in the USA
Fantastic conversation! 🙌 You both covered so many important and relevant topics-I hope this podcast reaches a wide audience. One topic that really stood out to me was testosterone. I see many young males in my practice being unnecessarily prescribed testosterone by online companies, often without proper workup or monitoring, which is truly concerning. I’ll be sharing this with my patients and hope more people tune in!
Would love to see a video on hairloss in men - it's so easy to get online-prescriptions for finasteride and minoxidyl that it's a little worrying. And so many companies are advertising on UA-cam through creators a lot.
Listening to this podcast makes me relieved to learn but also devastated. I had an ex that struggled with ED despite being in his early-mid 30s. He used to smoke and blamed that for part of the issue, but his father also died from a heart attack when he was younger. I always tried to see if he would be willing to talk to a doctor because I remember Doctor Mike mentioning it can be a sign of vascular issues, but he refused and would get upset if I brought it up. I don’t date him anymore and I doubt he’d listen if I sent this to him now. It sucks to know so many people like him are at possible risk and won’t receive help despite all the signs and options available.
Had an issue with pelvic floor dysfunction a few years back. Painful/burning urination, sex etc. Did pelvic floor therapy and it was a life saver. Never knew it was a thing but I am so thankful for it. Thank you Dr. Mike and Dr. Malik for this interview. Hope it helps a lot of guys that went through or are going through the same thing I did.
The issue with testing for testosterone, the "normal range" is 300-1200. The range is extreme. This range doesn't even look at age. So 300 for a 20 year old and 300 for a 65 year old are both considered normal.
Yes because age changes the number, not the sensitivity. Meaning the range is pretty accurate for all ages. A 20 year old at 220 and an 80 year old at 220 are both hypogonadal. However what's more important is symptomology in general. You might have one guy (regardless of age) at 290 that feels fine and has no symptoms because his sensitivity is higher than normal. You can also have guys at 350, who are having all the symptoms because thier receptor density or sensitivity are abnormally low. That's part of why the range is so broad to begin with, since a lot of guys with "low normal" are usually highly sensitive, and guys with "high normal" levels are less sensitive, since guys with 400 and 900 are basically indiscernible from each other.
I don't see how you're supposed to build data on this and determine what is actually normal, when doctors are refusing to do testosterone tests and no-one is gathering the data on a population level and your doctor hasn't got your previous checks in your medical records so they can say, 'Look, your T was 500 at 19, 485 at 30, 470 at 45 and this reduction isn't due to a hormonal problem, but because this chart matches up perfectly with your muscle mass loss which I also have the data for.' I really don't think doctors get big data or what it's for yet. There's a company that's edging in on using heart rate to accurately pin down your blood glucose which would democratise continuous blood glucose monitors since it'll be a one time purchase. They can only do that with huge amounts of data, which Dr Mike has said before he's opposed to gathering because the general public can't interpret it. Well... neither can scientists if they aren't allowed to gather it.
@@taylorhillard4868 usually people get ordered a hormone panel through their primary care physician and they ask for symptomology and interpret current T levels in the context of patient history. If T is borderline low, there are lifestyle interventions that can nearly double the testosterone, especially in younger men. Having more sensitive and specific tests and adjusting the ranges for age might be a good thing, but the problem that ‘some people who would benefit from TRT are being missed because of these rigid and outdated reference values’ is just not existent, because even if the T is low - lifestyle first, medications later. And not that many people maximize their T FOR SURE because majority of them are (a third of the male population-and that’s a conservative estimate) sedentary and don’t sleep enough. Drugs are cool but they don’t cure the underlying issue of WHY the T was relatively low. Sorry if it sounds like i made a couple of strawmen here, my point wasn’t really orthogonal to yours but kinda adjacent 😅
The problem is that these sort of "normal range"s are based on medical affects without considering life style affects. A doctor might tell a patient they are "healthy" then they go home and kill themselves, the problem is this seperation.
@@jonathan2847 strawman argument. anyone with relative low T whose symptoms like suicidal ideation checks out would be adviced lifestyle modifications. they would unalive themselves not because of low T (like just because someone died of a heart attach and had covid didn’t die from r o m covid) and even if it was low T doctor is not responsible for not prescribing TRT
Thank you for talking about the testing time of day & side effects of testosterone therapy to your audience. Infertility has yet to mentioned in other platforms. As a pharmacist, it’s disheartening that this important information is missed. I end up commenting, but that does not guarantee anyone sees that information. Love this talk and the quality info! Thank you!
I love how this human took the opportunity to inform and educate us, based on real facts and scientific evidence, being a great doctor and taking advantage of his "fame" for something good unlike many people who only want to benefit themselves, I like how you make your content so easy to understand. Thank you!
I wholeheartedly agree on how painful a kidney stone is. Had one several years ago. 0/10 wouldn't recommend. So thankful to the ER staff that took fantastic care of me and the amazingness that is Zofran.
Dr Mike, I want to thank you for these kinds of videos. Especially after Tuesday, we need to have more forces out there sharing solid, fact based, and informative content about these kinds of subjects. And viewers, we need to share these kinds of videos with our friends and our kids! Share positive and expert information!
@@Galvantez -Me when I see RFKj talk about -_-literally -_*_-anything-_*- that isn't simply UPFs and adjacent concepts. 😩- That it is sir... that it is...
Dang, Dr. Mike did such a phenomenal job meditating her answers. He makes sure anything she says that isn't imminently obvious to extract "the bottom line" from is restarted by him and reconfirmed by her agreement/approval. As a scientist, it's very important to learn how to structure your language to be precise and avoid misinterpretation or misinformation (especially these days). I felt she left a lot for Doctor Mike to restate for her to avoid misinforming the audience.
Dr. Mike can you make one of these relating to women’s health and dispelling birth control myths. Why does testosterone come with all these risks of infertility if female OCP doesn’t
I'm learning from my mom's medical book I know a little bit of huge words but my mom's a nurse and I get to learn from a doctor this is so exciting for me❤️
Thank you for providing me a stress free place to watch content! It has been hard for me to be online at all after this years election results and it’s nice to have somewhere to go.
Wow...the amount of information un this video which can be easily understandable by non medicine affiliated people is immense. This is such an informative and highly recommendsble video. Specially for societies where sex education is frowned upon unfortunately and the youth is deprived of the most mecessary information such as this.
I saw the length of this and was not intended to watch the entire video in one sitting... but I did! Almost couldn't help but to. You two do a great job asking questions that are interesting, and answering them in ways that are easy to understand.

Valuable information Comprehensive podcast Impressive I found several answers to questions in situations that happened to me in daily life Several questions that came to my mind were resolved 👑
Thank you very much, for everything and specially the last part. I now know how to have the talk to my sons. Thank you Dr. Mike and Dr Malik. Appreciate it greatly
There are SO many factors when it comes to sexual health. Stress, lifestyle, diet, relationship with a partner, fatigue, etc. Just enjoy the time with your partner.
NNN is js about self control and resisting lust. In the end, its supposed to help you recognize how what you do affects how you think and treat others as well as how healthily you treat yourself

Thanks for doing this episode! It responded to a lot of curiosities I'm having about how to think about my health and have productive conversations with my PCP as I enter my 40s. Regarding your curiosity around the fear of herpes, the way sex ed was taught when I was in middle and high school (in the late 1990s in the state of Virginia), STIs were essentially discussed in two buckets. In the first bucket were the STIs presented as having awful symptoms but were curable. The second bucket were the STIs that were presented as infections you had to deal with for the rest of your life: HIV/AIDS, HPV, and herpes. And when herpes is lumped in with AIDS (especially in the 90s), that particular STI has a high fear factor. It was an approach that created a lot of anxiety around sex and sexuality--unless you were in a cis het relationship with one human and were focused on procreation, in which case sex was AOK.
Thank you Doctor Mike for giving us the content we need. You always put a smile on my face and it has been great to watch you discuss problems in our society! You are an amazing human and you should be recognized for all you do!
As a vet with severe PTSD, I'd love to talk to doctor mike about all that entails. I know he will never see this, but if you all want to see that conversation, message him please.
I think the podcast is excellent. Detailed and has a certain humor too. I would have liked to have heard more about cases like this, where testicular pain occurs in men, background information or just information worth mentioning. Dr. Rena Malik is still a very competent urologist, thank you very much
I found Dr. Rena Malik's videos after I had a kidney stone removed, wearing a catheter, what to except, and how to prevent kidney stones in the future!
Thank you for asking guests why they choose certain specialities! As a premed I always love hearing reasons why people specialize so I can increase my knowledge on what I would want to do in the future
Regarding hormon replacement, you should get your most obvious checkpoints in line: Exercise regularly, sleep well, eat healthy, relax. As you get older, you can get your stats checked anyway.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life..
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes Steve_porss1, I share similar experiences with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction. Psilocybin mushrooms have been a game-changer for me, aiding greatly in my recovery and sobriety.
My son had low testosterone from a pituitary tumor. He recently passed away from sudden cardiac death. Is there any link between low testosterone and cardiac problems?
This was such a great discussion Mike I’m glad you and her could discuss the uncomfortable discussion that some may have some uncertainty asking Thanks for the great advice like always!😊
I've been having low s drive problems for more than two yrs now and I had no idea there was treatment for that. Def gonna talk about it to my gynecologist, thank you for doing your job amazingly!
BPH - Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a health issue that becomes more common with age. It's also called an enlarged prostate. Not sure they mentioned it several times if they actually said what it was.
in this world all about money i love how they are not just wanting profits its just after product of their genuine takes on their expertise and will to help others.
This is actually very educative n informative which would be otherwise likely a sensitive topic out there for others for which i gladly appreciate u for to do so on behalf of everyone out there if not just for me
I like this podcast learned a lot of things that I've been questioning about from hearing on media and etc, as well as learning things that i never thought people would think about and all.
When I was a kid I was vomiting daily due to stress. Family took me to a "doctor" and they gave me a placebo and told me I had to sit after I took it. And drink lots of water, and sit still, and eat after taking the pill. And the drugs worked! The placebo is what it took to convince me to make a lifestyle choice. Maybe the tanning bed, and BS pills are what it takes to also make the lifestyle change?
I had an accident in bed a few years ago. Ended up pinching a nerve in the spot where my leg and groin meet and also jamming my pelvic floor. Hoped it would go away and it slowly got better (I couldn't have sex/masturbate or stand for long periods) but it was slow and after a few months I tried to get help. Went to the Urology group and they told me it was in my head. Second urologist did a ultrasound and found nothing and didnt seem to know what to do. I ended up talking to that urologist about PT and it worked! Was able to stand for longer and be sexually active.
Here my story with testosterone as someone from europe, where the doctors are REALLY against TRT: i had t-levels of 280ng/dl as a 25yo, which is in the „normal“ range here (240-920ng/dl at the time i was tested the first time). I had all the symptoms of low T, but that didnt matter because i was barely normal, for a 90yo! With lifestyle changes, 8.5-10h of sleep every nights (i really slept that much, had 10-12h of time in bed EVERY day), better food, etc, i managed 320ng/dl on second test, 360ng on third test, 340ng on 4th test. I felt miserable. In the end, turned out i had a brain tumor which prevented me from getting over 30min of combined REM and deep sleep. Now first test 6months after tumor removal i had 540ng/dl and i feel like a different human. I wonder how much was caused by the testosterone and how much from the tumor itself.
Doctor malik, you're amazing. And thank you so much for the valuable information. Dr. Mike, I respect to you for knowing how to ask. And run the conversation❤
as someone with Low T and currently on TRT, I'm currently doing my own research to help me understand what might be going on with my body, i got my 4th injection today and im feeling great so far
I don't think he'd come on, but he definitely might and it would be a big deal and could be a game changing conversation, but yeah Byung-Chul Han. He comes from a very different world and different perspective. I would just love to hear a conversation in the West about his work, like "The Burnout Society", or his recent book the "Crisis of Narrative". I think speaks English, maybe just German and Korean, but yeah the world needs to know about actual smart alternatives from other places than the US.
Hearing Doctor Mike talk about the importance of reducing stress makes me want to ask him how he (if he did) managed it healthily throughout medical school. Being in the part of school that I am, I'm definitely having a hard time with the healthy sleep schedule.
Thanks for having me on the podcast! Always a great time collaborating with you!

“Why are guys obsessed with increasing semen” I have never in my life thought of my semen levels. I didn’t even know some guys worry about it.
Men who are struggling to reproduce do. And sadly the population is on a swift decline

Males with infertility are more worried about their semen levels.

Good content! Actually informational and makes the world a better place :) educational and authoritative
Thank you Doctor Mike for giving us the content we need. You always put a smile on my face and it has been great to watch you discuss problems in our society! You are an amazing human and you should be recognized for all you do!
Hey Doctor Mike, Been enjoying your content
“We go through all the patients and training”. Well said! 👏👏👏
Great podcast with discussion some things I knew about but several things I was definitely educated on. Great info thanks to both of you.
Dr. Mike thank you, for sharing both of your expertise on this subject. I really appreciate you for all the educational content you have posted!
As a vet with severe PTSD, I'd love to talk to doctor mike about all that entails. I know he will never see this, but if you all want to see that conversation, message him please.
I think the podcast is excellent. Detailed and has a certain humor too. I would have liked to have heard more about cases like this, where testicular pain occurs in men, background information or just information worth mentioning. Dr. Rena Malik is still a very competent urologist, thank you very much
Who else loves dr Mike ? ❤
Great interview! We shud have more ppl talk about this.
I found Dr. Rena Malik's videos after I had a kidney stone removed, wearing a catheter, what to except, and how to prevent kidney stones in the future!
Thank you for asking guests why they choose certain specialities! As a premed I always love hearing reasons why people specialize so I can increase my knowledge on what I would want to do in the future
I saw the NNN part of the title and I was immediately intrigued
What part does he talk about it?
@@Eddd1e idk man, I’m too lazy to watch the video again and comment to you the time :P
@@Theo_Yt1530 ight thanks appreciate it but then I guess the video didn’t intrigue you 💀
Regarding hormon replacement, you should get your most obvious checkpoints in line:
Exercise regularly, sleep well, eat healthy, relax.
As you get older, you can get your stats checked anyway.
Good episode. It would be better if you didn't use acronyms or when u do that you regularly provide the unabbreviated form.
I'm a medical professional, and I noticed the same thing.
I cannot describe how psychologically healing it is for a doctor to describe my genitals as perfectly normal
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life..
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes Steve_porss1, I share similar experiences with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction. Psilocybin mushrooms have been a game-changer for me, aiding greatly in my recovery and sobriety.
Is he on instagram?
Steve_porss1 is the man
On Instagram?
Dr. Mike, you have had many nurses on the podcast, when will you have a PA or NP on the show?
My son had low testosterone from a pituitary tumor. He recently passed away from sudden cardiac death. Is there any link between low testosterone and cardiac problems?
I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss. I think you should watch the full video, they did talk about it.
Thanks... I will go back and listen again - had it on when I was working.
This was such a great discussion Mike
I’m glad you and her could discuss the uncomfortable discussion that some may have some uncertainty asking
Thanks for the great advice like always!😊
1:18:35 "Do you ever talk about breathing with your patients during sex?"Phrasing, Dr. Mike!!! lmao
looool😂😂
My patient? Are you breathing fine? Wait a moment!
This is the only content of Dr Mikes that i still watch
When you have decided that this is what you want to do, then put your whole heart into it, thinking that this is your last chance.
This was a truly a great conversation. Very informative, learned alot.
I've been having low s drive problems for more than two yrs now and I had no idea there was treatment for that. Def gonna talk about it to my gynecologist, thank you for doing your job amazingly!
Happy Early Birthday Dr.Mike!My birthday is also the same date as yours!The videos was great keep up the great work!
Please talk about ME/CFS , fibro, POTS. We deserve more visibility
She awesome and informative. I know what to ask now on my next check up
BPH - Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a health issue that becomes more common with age. It's also called an enlarged prostate.
Not sure they mentioned it several times if they actually said what it was.
in this world all about money i love how they are not just wanting profits its just after product of their genuine takes on their expertise and will to help others.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE HOPE U HAD A GOOD DAY 👍
This podcast was epic. Mandatory watching for all adults, especially men.
Day 78 of asking Doctor Mike to post a video about Hair Loss and its Treatment.
DRINKING GAME! TAKE A SHOT EVERYTIME DR. RENA SAYS "ABSOLUTELY" 😂😅
FOR REAL BEST PODCAST EPISODE EVER. THANK YOU DR MIKE AND DR RENA❤
I'm thankful for doctor mike and doctor malik for answering the questions that i think are not really answered
Two of my favorite UA-cam physicians. One for the medical advice and knowledge, the other for their comedy. Which one is which? Decide for yourselves
You're so intelligent and superior
Thanks for having this conversation in public
Keep up the good work!
This is actually very educative n informative which would be otherwise likely a sensitive topic out there for others for which i gladly appreciate u for to do so on behalf of everyone out there if not just for me
Went to see a stand up comedian last week and even he was talking about his TRT! Saying how much better he felt about his male menopause 😂
Learned a lot in this segment. Thank you both for the information.
We got dr. mike and dr. rena collab before GTA6😭😭💗💗
I like this podcast learned a lot of things that I've been questioning about from hearing on media and etc, as well as learning things that i never thought people would think about and all.
Lots of us would love to see a doctor instead of using the cheaper online options, but we can't afford it
Not only that..even if you can afford a doctor getting an appointment can be impossible these days.
When I was a kid I was vomiting daily due to stress. Family took me to a "doctor" and they gave me a placebo and told me I had to sit after I took it. And drink lots of water, and sit still, and eat after taking the pill. And the drugs worked! The placebo is what it took to convince me to make a lifestyle choice. Maybe the tanning bed, and BS pills are what it takes to also make the lifestyle change?
Dr. Mike knew what he was doing making this type of video in November of all months
I had an accident in bed a few years ago. Ended up pinching a nerve in the spot where my leg and groin meet and also jamming my pelvic floor. Hoped it would go away and it slowly got better (I couldn't have sex/masturbate or stand for long periods) but it was slow and after a few months I tried to get help. Went to the Urology group and they told me it was in my head. Second urologist did a ultrasound and found nothing and didnt seem to know what to do. I ended up talking to that urologist about PT and it worked! Was able to stand for longer and be sexually active.
She tackles the topics about your tackle.
I was surprised at the downplaying of herpes. Depending on which virus it is, it can most certainly be a factor in causing different types of cancers.
Here my story with testosterone as someone from europe, where the doctors are REALLY against TRT:
i had t-levels of 280ng/dl as a 25yo, which is in the „normal“ range here (240-920ng/dl at the time i was tested the first time).
I had all the symptoms of low T, but that didnt matter because i was barely normal, for a 90yo!
With lifestyle changes, 8.5-10h of sleep every nights (i really slept that much, had 10-12h of time in bed EVERY day), better food, etc, i managed 320ng/dl on second test, 360ng on third test, 340ng on 4th test.
I felt miserable.
In the end, turned out i had a brain tumor which prevented me from getting over 30min of combined REM and deep sleep.
Now first test 6months after tumor removal i had 540ng/dl and i feel like a different human.
I wonder how much was caused by the testosterone and how much from the tumor itself.
Doctor malik, you're amazing. And thank you so much for the valuable information. Dr. Mike, I respect to you for knowing how to ask. And run the conversation❤
I have a teenage son and this has been very helpful, Thankyou so much to both of you for this podcast 😊
Ma'am protect his balls. That carries your grandchildren. I'm speaking from experience. Don't overlook anything.
as someone with Low T and currently on TRT, I'm currently doing my own research to help me understand what might be going on with my body, i got my 4th injection today and im feeling great so far
I don't think he'd come on, but he definitely might and it would be a big deal and could be a game changing conversation, but yeah Byung-Chul Han. He comes from a very different world and different perspective. I would just love to hear a conversation in the West about his work, like "The Burnout Society", or his recent book the "Crisis of Narrative". I think speaks English, maybe just German and Korean, but yeah the world needs to know about actual smart alternatives from other places than the US.
Hearing Doctor Mike talk about the importance of reducing stress makes me want to ask him how he (if he did) managed it healthily throughout medical school. Being in the part of school that I am, I'm definitely having a hard time with the healthy sleep schedule.
We need rfk on
Im concerned about his plans
Please interview him and challenge his opinions
I doubt the guy would go on this show if it means being challenged on his pseudoscientific conspiracy theory nonsense.
very informative video it helped me through some tough times glad i saw this
dr mike is my crush
