(#74) Men Have a Midlife Crisis Too? Meet Andropause. - with James Davis

Squad, we're going international today. My guest lives in London, and he just informed me that men have their own midlife hormone crisis and nobody bothered to tell us. It's called andropause, and yes, my first reaction was exactly what yours is about to be. Meet James Davis: Coaching psychologist, men's health advocate, keynote speaker, and author of The Midlife Male Handbook: A Man's Guide to Thriving Through Andropause. Spends his days explaining menopause to rooms full of confused men and andropause to rooms full of skeptical women (me). Married to his own midlife journey — he lived through a full andropause dip himself, in Marbella, of all places. 🔥 IN THIS EPISODE WE GET INTO: 🎙️ I ask James point blank if men are just trying to steal menopause now too — his answer changed my mind 📉 What andropause actually is, why it creeps up over decades instead of hitting all at once, and why that makes it so easy for men to write off as "just getting older" 💬 Why most men have zero language for what they're feeling — and how that silence is quietly wrecking marriages and mental health 💍 The real talk on what happens when a menopausal woman and an andropausal man are living in the same house at the same time (spoiler: it's not pretty) 🧠 The "do I want to be right or do I want to be happy" line that's staying in my head rent-free 💥 PLOT TWIST TAKEAWAY This isn't about men stealing your moment, Squad. It's about realizing your husband, your brother, your dad might be going through his own quiet identity collapse — and he doesn't have the words for it. Start the conversation. It might save more than his mood. Because midlife isn't a crisis — it's a plot twist. xoxo melis 🔗 Connect with James 📚 The Midlife Male Handbook — available on Amazon now (buy it for the man in your life, he won't ask for it himself) 🌐 jamespdavis.com 🌐 themidlifementors.com ⭐️ Loved this episode?
