#130: Why Men Are Losing Their Edge And Calling It Aging with Dr. Zak Zafrani

Low testosterone is not just a lab number. It can affect energy, mood, motivation, libido, sleep, metabolic health, and the way a man feels in his own life.

In this episode of Beyond the Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Dr. Zak Zafrani for a grounded conversation about men's health, testosterone deficiency, restoration, TRT, lifestyle medicine, and the connection between hormones and metabolic health.

Dr. Zafrani explains why some men are dismissed or treated for other issues before anyone checks their hormone markers, how sleep and stress shape testosterone production, what symptoms men should not ignore, and why lifestyle still matters even when using tools like TRT or GLP-1 medications.

This conversation is for anyone who wants a deeper, whole-person look at men's vitality beyond quick fixes, bodybuilding myths, or symptom chasing.
