Andropause, low testosterone, and erectile dysfunction in men over 40: Dr. George K. Ibrahim, MD, MBA, founder of Biltmore Restorative Medicine in Asheville, NC and Greenville, SC, explains what really happens to men's hormones in midlife.

Many men notice changes in their 40s and 50s: fatigue, weight gain, low libido, weaker erections, brain fog, or irritability, and assume it's just aging. In this episode, Dr. Ibrahim explains andropause (often called "male menopause"), how testosterone gradually declines with age, how hormones connect to sexual health, and why getting the right labs and a physician-led evaluation matters before starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).

In this episode:

• What is andropause, and is "male menopause" real?
• At what age does testosterone start to decline in men?
• What are the common signs of low testosterone?
• How does low T affect erections, libido, and sex?
• Is erectile dysfunction always a hormone problem?
• What should men ask for when getting their testosterone checked?
• When is testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) worth considering, and what are the risks?
• Lifestyle factors that affect testosterone: sleep, weight, stress, and exercise
