In this episode of Men's Healthy Edge on the Hop Into Health podcast, we speak with transformational coach and NLP practitioner Don Power about one of the most overlooked aspects of men's health — how we react emotionally.

From frustration and burnout to anxiety and disconnection, many men struggle with automatic responses that sabotage their relationships, their health, and their potential. Don shares his insights on why we get stuck, how low testosterone and high cortisol influence emotional reactivity, and what tools men can use to create space between stimulus and response.

We talk:

• The psychology behind our emotional "default settings"

• What stress hormones do to your decision-making

• Why men bottle things up — and how to release pressure safely

• Tools to rewire your response and become calmer under pressure

• How hormones influence emotional control, presence, and purpose

If you've ever found yourself saying: "Why did I react like that?" — this one's for you.
