Description

Josh Whalen is an entrepreneur, healthcare executive, developer, philanthropist, and the CEO and founder of Blokes, a pioneering telehealth platform designed to redefine men's health. He has dedicated himself to creating innovative solutions to pressing issues. In this enlightening conversation, Josh Whalen discusses the concerning trend of decreasing testosterone levels in men, their causative factors, and implications on overall health. The intricate relationship between stress, sleep, exercise, and testosterone levels is examined, bringing valuable insights and personal anecdotes into the discussion.  Josh Whalen shared his personal journey, transitioning from the so-called "4am club," where he'd rise early for gym workouts, to a more balanced regimen that incorporated additional sleep. Despite his rigorous exercise routine, he struggled with a persistently high body fat percentage. After prioritizing quality sleep, his body fat percentage drastically dropped, suggesting a link with increased testosterone levels. The intricate dynamics of cortisol (the stress hormone) and testosterone were emphasized. Elevated stress levels, often stemming from inadequate sleep and lifestyle habits, can detrimentally affect testosterone levels. This finding stresses the importance of managing stress and securing sufficient sleep to uphold healthy testosterone levels. The dialogue serves as an urgent call to action, emphasizing the importance of regular health checks and proactive health management. Often, men may remain oblivious of their dwindling testosterone levels until they encounter severe symptoms. Therefore, partners and family members assume a crucial role in encouraging men towards regular health evaluations. In conclusion, the pathway to longevity and improved quality of life involves proactive health management. Being aware and taking the correct actions today can protect men from potential health complications in the future. www.blokes.co www.instagram.com/getblokes www.facebook.com/getbloke www.linkedin.com/company/getblokes www.tiktok.com/@getblokes www.reddit.com/user/getblokes2022 www.youtube.com/@GetBlokes
