• Why millions of men are losing their sex drive — and what to do about it

  Dr. Anand Patel joins Dr. Hilary to break the silence on male sexual health — from testosterone and tiredness to infertility and the myths behind men’s midlife crises. For 24 years, Dr. Patel has been a leading voice in men’s health, tackling taboo topics like erectile dysfunction, low libido, male infertility, and the hidden dangers of testosterone deficiency. In this candid conversation, he shares the hard truths about why sperm counts are dropping, how cycling could be harming fertility, and why tight trousers might be the least of men’s problems. They explore treatments ranging from shockwave therapy and penile implants to lifestyle changes that really make a difference — and uncover the new science around testosterone and mental health. There’s nothing off limits in this brutally honest episode that might help millions of men understand what’s going on with their bodies.
