Testosterone, Emotions & Mental Health: A Conversation with Chelsea McLeod

In this insightful episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Chelsea McLeod, a hormone health coach helping high-achieving men and women reclaim their health. Together, they explore how testosterone influences not just physical strength and libido, but also emotional balance, mental clarity, and resilience. Chelsea breaks down the connection between stress, sleep, nutrition, and hormonal health—and why many men are silently struggling with low testosterone without realizing it. From the hidden impact of gut health to practical lifestyle shifts, this conversation challenges the outdated belief that declining health is an inevitable part of aging.

About the Guest:Chelsea McLeod is a powerhouse hormone health coach who has helped over 200 women and men heal hormone and gut imbalances. She works with C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes to boost testosterone, improve energy, and reclaim health without burnout.

Key Takeaways:

• Testosterone affects mood, motivation, sleep, and emotional regulation—not just muscle and libido.

• Chronic stress and poor sleep lower testosterone by disrupting hormonal precursors.

• Simple steps like better sleep hygiene, clean eating, and addressing gut health can significantly boost testosterone naturally.

• Emotional intelligence and hormone health are interconnected; emotional suppression can manifest physically.

• Men don’t have to accept feeling “off” or emotionally flat as normal aging—there’s a path to healing.
