77. Why Your Man Might Be Tired, Moody & Avoiding Intimacy w/ Dr. Joshua Gonzalez


Listen Later

Is your man more tired than usual, moodier, or pulling away from intimacy? You’re not imagining it. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Joshua Gonzalez: a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist to talk about the low testosterone epidemic and why men’s midlife health is often overlooked.

We’ll cover how hormone changes impact men physically, emotionally, and in the bedroom, plus what women over 40 can do to better understand and support their partners. Whether your relationship feels disconnected or you simply want to know what’s going on behind the scenes, this conversation is equal parts informative, candid, and fun.

You’ll learn:

  • The signs and symptoms of low testosterone every woman should know
  • Why men’s health in midlife is so often ignored or dismissed
  • How low testosterone affects mood, energy, and relationships
  • The truth about what’s really causing low libido in men
  • Testing and treatment options, including TRT (testosterone replacement therapy)
  • Evidence-based supplements that may help if your man isn’t ready for testosterone therapy
