Episode Details

Most men think erectile dysfunction is a bedroom problem and low testosterone is just a fact of getting older. This roundtable makes the case that both are early warning lights for your heart, your metabolism, and your long-term health and that ignoring them can cost you a decade.

In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with urologists and men's health specialists Dr. Mohit Khera, Dr. Larry Lipshultz, and Dr. Tobias Köhler to discuss:

• Why a 35-year-old with ED carries a ~15% risk of heart attack or stroke within 7 years, ~3.5x the risk of depression, and ~30% odds of diabetes or prediabetes and why a prescription alone misses all of it
• Why "age-related" testosterone decline is largely a misnomer: a healthy man shouldn't drop significantly with age, so falling T usually signals something reversible underneath
• How testosterone became the single best blood marker of a man's overall health, and the case for annual screening that almost no man gets
• What the TRAVERSE trial changed when the FDA removed testosterone's cardiovascular warning in 2025, debunking the prostate-cancer and heart-attack fears
• The 2-minute monthly self-exam every man should do to catch testicular cancer early, when it's ~99% curable

If you've been told your symptoms are "just aging" or you love a man who refuses to see a doctor. This conversation shows you how to read the signals your body gives long before a crisis hits.
