The Dr. Josh Axe Show

Why Men and Women Shouldn’t Eat the Same Way


Listen Later

Did you know men and women can respond differently to the same diet, supplement, or workout—simply because of biology?

In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe dives deep into the unique nutritional, hormonal, and emotional needs of men and women. From PMS to prostate health, fertility to fasting, this is the guide to understanding how gender shapes our health—and what to do about it.

  • The key nutrient deficiencies men and women face—and why they differ.

  • How hormones, cycles, and life stages shift nutritional needs in women.

  • Why intermittent fasting affects women and men differently.

  • What sleep and emotional stress do to hormones across sexes.
