We’re pleased to share that our Medical Director, Dr Dan Leach, was recently featured on the Sex Advice for Seniors Podcast, discussing one of the most common concerns we see at Valens Health — men being told their results are “normal,” despite experiencing symptoms of low testosterone.

As a leading men’s health clinic in the UK, we regularly support men who present with fatigue, low energy, reduced libido, poor sleep, and cognitive decline, often without clear answers from standard healthcare pathways.

In this episode, Dr Leach explores why low testosterone in the UK is frequently under-recognised. Many men fall within laboratory “normal ranges,” yet still experience significant symptoms that impact performance, relationships, and overall wellbeing.

A key theme is the limitation of relying solely on reference ranges. At Valens Health, our approach goes beyond diagnosing deficiency. We focus on understanding each individual’s optimal function, using longitudinal data, clinical context, and personalised assessment to guide care.

The discussion also highlights the importance of looking beyond testosterone alone. Hormonal balance is interconnected with metabolic health, thyroid function, and other key systems that influence how the body produces, utilises, and responds to hormones.

London based Valens Health has been named a regional finalist in the UK StartUp Awards 2026 (https://startupawards.uk/) in the Consumer Services StartUp of the Year category, shortlisted in London.

The UK StartUp Awards was launched to recognise the booming startup scene across the UK, which has accelerated significantly in recent years with around 832,000 new businesses registered in the UK in 2025.

Founded in 2025 by Tania Leach and Dr Daniel Leach, Valens Health is a Doctor led men’s health clinic designed to provide expert medical support to men aged between 35 and 70. Based in the capital, the business focuses on delivering specialised care that addresses the unique physical and mental health requirements of men as they navigate different stages of life. By providing professional, clinical expertise in an accessible format, Valens Health ensures that its patients receive the targeted healthcare they need to maintain their long term wellbeing.

A great episode of Voices in Health and Wellness by Dr Andrew Greenland with Dr Dan Leach - Medical Director at Valens Health.

At Valens Health, this is exactly the conversation we’re having every day - men do not need to accept midlife decline as inevitable.
This episode explores how small, consistent changes can restore energy, focus, and connection, alongside practical strategies like quarterly tracking, sleep optimisation, resistance training, and simple nutrition targets that fit real life.
It also highlights the stigma many men face, and why so many still feel unheard within traditional healthcare systems.

Well worth a listen!
