Dr. Anand Patel joins Dr. Hilary to break the silence on male sexual health — from testosterone and tiredness to infertility and the myths behind men’s midlife crises.

For 24 years, Dr. Patel has been a leading voice in men’s health, tackling taboo topics like erectile dysfunction, low libido, male infertility, and the hidden dangers of testosterone deficiency. In this candid conversation, he shares the hard truths about why sperm counts are dropping, how cycling could be harming fertility, and why tight trousers might be the least of men’s problems.

They explore treatments ranging from shockwave therapy and penile implants to lifestyle changes that really make a difference — and uncover the new science around testosterone and mental health. There’s nothing off limits in this brutally honest episode that might help millions of men understand what’s going on with their bodies.

Professor James Calder joins Dr. Hilary to share what it takes to repair and prepare elite athletes for action.

They talk about the high-stakes world of sports surgery, the pressure of operating on stars like Neymar, and the importance of rehabilitation over the surgery itself.

Francis Rossi joins Dr. Hilary to talk openly about the years he lost to cocaine and alcohol, the damage it caused, and the daily habits he now sticks to without fail. He explains why these days, he still does vocal warmups, crunches, and watches what he eats.

They discuss his friendship and eventual distance from Rick Parfitt, the moment he showed his damaged nose on live TV, and why he chose to have a hair transplant. At 76, he’s still touring — but only by staying disciplined, physically active and prepared for every show.

Huntington’s disease affects thousands of families across the UK — but many still haven’t heard of it. And when it comes to men’s health, taboo and time can be two of the biggest barriers to care.

Dr. Hilary sits down with two very different guests sharing one goal: better health through awareness, support, and accessible solutions. First, Steve Lewis, filmmaker and devoted husband, opens up about caring for his wife Sarah and raising awareness about Huntington’s through their powerful story. Then, digital health pioneer Sokratis Papafloratos discusses his personal health scare and how it inspired the creation NUMAN, an online health platform revolutionizing how men (and now women) access care.

Together, they explore:

• What it’s really like living with Huntington’s disease
• How genetic testing impacts family planning
• The emotional toll on carers — and what support’s out there
• Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis: giving children a future without Huntington’s
• Why many GPs have never seen a case — and why that must change
• Making health care more accessible and less embarrassing for men
• Why AI and digital platforms may be the future of treatment
• The testosterone crisis and how it affects energy, mood, and libido
• Humour in health: why TV ads broke taboos to get men talking
