The Best Life Code

Welcome back to The Best Life Code! In this episode, Dr. Rudy talks about andropause, sometimes called “male menopause”, and why it’s still flying under the radar for so many men. Dr. Rudy shares his personal journey with hormonal changes, opening up about the real signs and symptoms men face as testosterone naturally declines with age. Together, they break down how andropause affects everything from energy and motivation to brain function and relationships, and why traditional medicine often overlooks these issues.

The discussion dives deep into the environmental factors making hormonal imbalances more common and explores how lifestyle, stress, and even microplastics in our environment are accelerating these changes. Dr. Rudy explains why self-inquiry, proactive health checks, and open conversations, especially with partners are essential for men in their 30s, 40s, and beyond.
