Low Testosterone & DHEA in the UK: Dr Dan Leach Featured on Sex Advice for Seniors Podcast

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.

For many men, early symptoms such as fatigue or reduced performance are not isolated issues. They can reflect wider changes in health, including cardiovascular risk, and should be assessed within a broader, structured framework.

At Valens Health, we provide Doctor-led, CQC-registered care designed to address men’s health as a whole, not just individual markers. Our model focuses on prevention, optimisation, and long term health, combining advanced diagnostics with ongoing clinical oversight.
