About Episode: Men’s Hormones in Midlife & Beyond: A Functional Medicine Perspective

In this eye-opening episode of Nurturing Body & Spirit: A Nurse Practitioner's Guide to Wellness, we’re diving into a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: hormonal changes in men during midlife and beyond.

While women often hear about menopause and hormone shifts, many men are left wondering why they feel more tired, less motivated, or not quite like themselves anymore. The truth? Men experience real, measurable hormonal changes, too—just in a slower, more subtle way.

Join Nurse Practitioner Shelbie Curry as she unpacks what’s really going on with testosterone, cortisol, DHEA, estrogen (yes—men need balance there too), and other key hormones that impact mood, metabolism, muscle mass, and energy.

You'll learn:

  • The root causes of hormonal imbalances in men


  • What labs to request beyond just “low T”


  • How stress, sleep, diet, and toxins affect men’s health


  • Natural ways to support hormone health through movement, nutrition, and lifestyle


  • When to consider testing or hormone therapy with a functional medicine approach


Whether you’re a man navigating midlife or someone who loves one—this episode is packed with insight, encouragement, and actionable steps to help men feel strong, clear, and energized again.
