Think yoga isn’t for you? This week, Dr. Jesse Mills sits down with Man Flow Yoga founder Dean Pohlman to explain why flexibility and mobility matter just as much as strength — especially as men get older. Dean breaks down how yoga can help fill the gaps in traditional workouts, improve range of motion and balance, reduce stiffness, and potentially lower the risk of injuries whether you’re lifting weights, running, or playing weekend pickleball. Plus, he shares practical advice for getting started even if you can barely touch your toes, including why just 15 minutes a day can make a noticeable difference.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’ve all heard the rules: drink eight glasses of water, walk 10,000 steps, eat breakfast and maybe hold off on that diet soda. But how much of that advice is actually backed by science? This week, Dr. Jesse Mills sorts fact from fiction on some of the most common health and wellness claims, from detoxes and alkaline water to coffee and apple cider vinegar. He explains which rules are useful guidelines, which are mostly hype — and why healthy habits aren’t always one-size-fits-all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re two best friends having unfiltered conversations about the modern sh*t we all go through, with a rotating cast of top therapists to help us unpack it all.  We’re not experts, just very curious, slightly unhinged, and can label our feelings (most of the time). Come hang with us as we have the uncomfortable conversations about dating, love, sex, mental health, loneliness, friendships, grief and everything else that only Alex Cooper talks about.

Today's episode is a ball buster — literally. Dr. Mills tackles the subject no man wants to think about: genital trauma. Using the story of a pro baseball player who finished an at-bat with a ruptured testicle as a jumping-off point, he explains what can happen when the penis or testicles suffer a serious injury, how doctors repair the damage, and why timing matters. From testicular rupture and protective cups to penile reconstruction and even transplants, Jesse walks through some of the most extreme cases urologists encounter — and the warning signs that mean it’s time to get to the ER.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
