In Part 2 of our June series with Nick Koumalatsos, we dive into a topic affecting millions of men but rarely discussed openly: testosterone.

Nick shares his personal experience navigating hormone health, why testosterone levels are declining across the population, and the ripple effect it has on energy, confidence, relationships, and society as a whole. The conversation expands beyond hormones into parenting, trauma, fitness, recovery, and what it means to become the kind of man your family can depend on.
