About this episode

Ollie Matthews discusses the root causes of low testosterone and why it should be treated as a last resort.

Most men over 40 who feel tired, foggy, and flat get told the same thing: your testosterone is low, here's a prescription. Functional medicine practitioner Ollie Matthews makes the case for the opposite order of operations. In this episode, men's hormone coach Ollie Matthews (OJ Health) explains why your hormones are a readout of how you live, why the gut quietly runs your hormones, and why he treats testosterone replacement as the last step, not the first. He shares his own story of crashing his hormones during a bodybuilding phase, rebuilding them as a new dad, and the framework he now uses with clients. Meet our guest Ollie Matthews is a functional medicine practitioner and men's hormone coach, and one of the first UK practitioners accredited under Harvard-affiliated Dr. Datis Kharrazian. He's the creator of The ONE Method and works with dads who want their energy and confidence back. After losing his own father young and later rebuilding his health from a deep low, his mission is to help a million dads not die before seeing their children grow up.
