Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives.

Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
