Is low testosterone really killing your sex drive — or is something deeper going on?
In this episode, I sit down with Ben Davis to unpack the testosterone industry, what the numbers actually mean, and why so many men are chasing a hormonal fix for a psychological problem. We cover:
• When low testosterone actually needs medical treatment (and what levels to look for)
• Why "more is better" thinking backfires
• The sponge analogy that explains why extra testosterone does nothing
• How sexual shame hijacks your sex drive — and what to do about it
• Natural ways to support healthy testosterone without TRT
If you've ever worried your testosterone is too low or felt like something is "off" with your sex drive, this conversation is for you.

Dr Ben Davis is a private men's health GP in central London, with over 15 years of clinical experience and dual training in both men's health and psychosexual therapy.
His approach is focused on helping men understand not just what is happening, but why — and supporting them in finding their way back to feeling like themselves again.
Many of the men Dr Davis sees are busy, high-functioning, and accustomed to performing well in other areas of their lives.
When something changes — whether it's energy, libido, erections, mood or confidence — it can feel confusing, frustrating, and difficult to talk about. Sometimes there is a clear symptom. Often, there isn't. Instead, there may simply be a persistent sense that something isn't quite right.
Dr Davis believes that feeling is worth taking seriously — and that it is usually worth understanding properly.
His role is to help men make sense of what is happening, clearly and thoughtfully, without oversimplifying the situation or jumping to quick fixes.
