In this special episode, Dr. Gideon Blecher welcomes two leading experts to explore the complex relationship between testosterone and cardiovascular health. Professor Dion Stub, interventional cardiologist at the Alfred and Cabrini, and Dr. Jonathan Cohen, endocrinologist and andrology specialist, break down the science behind testosterone’s effects on your entire body.


From how testosterone actually works as a hormone to its impact on muscle mass, bone health, and blood vessels, our experts explain why this isn’t just about sex drive. They tackle the controversial questions around testosterone replacement therapy, the risks of taking too much, and why young men seeking performance enhancement might be putting their hearts at serious risk.

The conversation also covers the critical connection between erectile dysfunction and heart disease, how to recognise the subtle signs of a heart attack, and practical prevention strategies that could save your life. Whether you’re considering testosterone therapy, worried about heart health, or wondering if that chest discomfort is something serious, this episode provides the expert guidance you need.

Your heart and hormones are connected. The choices you make today matter tomorrow.
