Men’s Therapy Podcast

What happens when a man has the bank account, the house, the title, the "objectively good" life, and still can't sleep past 2 a.m.? On this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay talks with Megan McDonald, founder of SomaQ (Somatic Intelligence Quotient), a former high-performing healthcare executive who burned out so completely her body started sending signals her bloodwork couldn't explain.

Megan and Marc dig into...

What does masculinity look like when you're a Muslim man trying to navigate red pill culture, feminism, and a faith tradition that's been around for 1,400 years, all at once? On this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay talks with Nabeel Azeez, author of 40 Hadith on Masculinity, who's spent a decade writing about masculinity from an Islamic lens, first through his old blog and now through muslimman.com.&n...

A lot of parents start this conversation with the same quiet fear: what does it mean about my kid, about our family, about me, if my child is exploring a gender or sexuality that doesn't match what I expected? On this roundtable episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay brings back two returning guests. Relationship and dating coach Shana James (author of Honest Sex) and psychotherapist Jack Lambert, who works predomi...

.Ask a parent what's going on with their Gen Z son, and you'll usually get a shrug, a worry, or both. On this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay reconnects with an old friend, Joanna Lilley. She is a therapeutic consultant and host of the podcast Success is Subjective. She spends her days working directly with young adults navigating exactly this territory.

Joanna explains what a therapeutic consul...

Walk into a CrossFit box at 6 a.m. and you'll see men doing more than chasing a workout PR. According to men's coach and ex-pastor Jason Lyle, they're doing therapy without calling it that. On this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay sits down with Jason, who spent ten years owning a CrossFit gym and now runs Sacred Grit, a men's coaching practice built around retreats, nervous system work, and one very cold mor...

Every time a testosterone clinic pops up along the highway, third-generation chiropractor Dr. Kyle Hulsebus gets the same question from patients: "Doc, is it low testosterone?" After years of testing men from their 20s to their 80s, his answer is almost always no. On this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay sits down with Dr. Kyle to unpack why testosterone myths have become the default explanation for a much de...

There's a pattern Coach Kevin Voisin keeps running into with his highest-performing clients: guys who can build a hundred-million-dollar business without blinking, then go home and have no idea how to navigate a conversation with their wife. The gap between those two skill sets, he says, comes down to the male ego, the same mental tool that sharpens ambition and decision-making early in life, but which, left unexamined, quietly har...

In 2025, Americans legally wagered more than $165 billion on sports, money moving through an industry that, outside of Nevada, didn't legally exist until 2018. Somewhere inside that number is a much harder one to see: how much of it isn't entertainment at all, but sports betting addiction quietly working its way through a generation of men who never thought they had a gambling problem. That's where this episode of the Men's ...

The numbers are hard to sit with. In the most recent year for which data were available, 53% of men who died in the United States did so before the age of 75. Not in a developing country. Not a century ago. Right now, in one of the wealthiest nations on earth, the majority of men are dying before they should. And a significant portion of those deaths are preventable.

That is where this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast begins. Ma...

Something is off for Gen Z men right now. It can look like confidence on the surface, online presence, gym routines, and a few matches on the apps. But underneath all of that, there is often a young man who does not know who he is, who feels invisible in his own friendships, and who is watching his dating life go nowhere without understanding why.

Anger. Rage. Aggression. Modern psychology has spent decades telling men these are problems to fix. That is exactly where this conversation pushes back.

In this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay sits down with Mike LeBlanc. He is a Marine veteran, Harvard graduate, founder of a humanoid robotics company, and author of What If Anger Is the Answer. He challenges the cultural narrative that has pathologized male anger ...

Narcissist. Psychopath. Sociopath. These words are everywhere right now, and most of the time, they are being used incorrectly. That is where this conversation starts.

In this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay sits down with Dr. Peter Salerno. He is a clinical expert and author of The Nature and Nurture of Narcissism. He cuts through the noise of social media diagnosis culture and gets to what these personality diso...

Masculine energy in relationships is something most men have never been properly taught. They’ve been handed two versions, one that’s domineering and one that’s completely hollowed out. Neither works. The first drives his partner away. The second bores her. What actually works is something most men have never been taught: how to embody masculine energy in a way that is grounded, leading, and genuinel...

Most men don't struggle in relationships because they don't care. They struggle because nobody ever taught them how relationships actually work, at a neurological, psychological, and structural level. And by the time most couples realize something is badly wrong, the damage’s been quietly building for years.

In this episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay sits down with Dr. Stan Tatkin, clinical psychologist, resear...

The male loneliness epidemic is not just a trending phrase. It’s a quiet crisis playing out in the lives of millions of men, showing up in emergency rooms, in divorce statistics, and in therapy offices where men are finally starting to talk about what they’ve long kept buried.

That’s exactly where this conversation begins.

In this episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay sits down with returning gues...

Modern masculinity has a missing piece, and most men feel it without being able to name it. They pay the bills, hold down big jobs, do everything they’re supposed to do as adults. But when they look in the mirror, they don’t see a man. They see a boy in a man’s costume.

In this solo episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, host and therapist Marc Azoulay is making the case that what most men...

Addiction is one of the most misunderstood forces in men's lives. It doesn’t always look like rock bottom. It can look like a high-functioning executive who has a spotless professional record. It can look like the life of the party who stays for the after-party when everyone else goes home. It can look like a college student pulling straight A's while quietly unraveling in private.

That’s exactly what this conversation i...

Emotional numbness does not always look like a crisis. For many men, it is quieter, a steady flatness, a sense of static that will not lift no matter how much they push.

In this solo episode of the Men's Therapy Online Podcast, Marc Azoulay, therapist, coach, and founder of Men's Therapy Online, is breaking down one of the most common yet least understood struggles facing modern men: the feeling of being emotionally switched off.

The fawn response is one of the most misunderstood patterns in men’s psychology. It doesn’t look like weakness. It looks like generosity, agreeableness, and keeping the peace. But underneath it, there’s usually a man who is terrified of being rejected, disconnected from his own needs, and slowly building resentment he has no healthy outlet for.

That’s exactly where this conversation goes.
