In this episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay welcomes coaching psychologist and author James Davis. He unpacks one of the most under-discussed phases of a man’s life: the midlife crisis. Davis specializes in hormone health and andropause (commonly referred to as “male menopause”). He offers much-needed insight into the challenges that men experience from their 40s onward.
“The average 20-year-old guy today has lower testosterone than a 50-year-old did in the 1980s,” Davis reveals. He highlights the alarming trends in declining hormone levels. He explains that what many men mistakenly believe is aging or burnout might stem from a hormone imbalance. “We’re talking low libido, lack of focus, and just feeling like everything’s a chore.”
Davis is helping men recognize that a midlife crisis isn’t just emotional—it’s also deeply rooted in biology. “There’s a lot of shame and confusion. Guys don’t talk about it. But low testosterone isn’t about weakness—it’s about awareness,” he adds.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
